Just three minutes later, the network in Beijing was flooded with 404 errors.
Netizens were shocked as they looked at the person in front of them.
[Sorry, your post violated cybersecurity regulations and has been banned.]
Netizens looked at each other, a sense of unease rising in their hearts.
Zhao Mengsheng knew that information blocking was a crucial element.
. . . . . .
Meanwhile, Zhao Ruilong received advance notice from his second sister, Zhao Xiaohui. He immediately packed his bags and left, heading straight for an abandoned, unfinished building on the outskirts of the city.
Zhao Xiaohui personally drove a Hongqi sedan to the unfinished building to pick her up.
Ruilong, I've arrived. Come down quickly, I'll see you off.
Upon hearing the car horn, Zhao Ruilong hurriedly ran out of the unfinished building, looking flustered and clutching a black suitcase tightly in his hand.
Zhao Xiaohui rolled down the car window and said urgently, "Get in the car quickly, time is of the essence, we must leave here as soon as possible."
Zhao Ruilong quickly climbed into the car, closed the door, and let out a long sigh of relief. "Second sister, thanks to you this time, otherwise I would definitely have been caught by them."
As Zhao Xiaohui started the car, she said seriously, "Now is not the time to talk about these things. Let's go to a safe place first, and then we can make further plans."
The Hongqi sedan roared to life, shooting off like an arrow and quickly disappearing into the vast night.
Zhao Xiaohui skillfully avoided surveillance cameras, choosing to drive on secluded side roads. The atmosphere inside the car was tense; both remained silent, each with their own plans. As night deepened, the car finally stopped in front of a hidden mountain villa.
Zhao Ruilong got out of the car, looked around, and felt a little more at ease.
Zhao Xiaohui whispered, "Ruilong, stay here and avoid the limelight. Don't show your face."
"Now, Zhao Mengsheng has ordered the blockade of all major airports, train stations, high-speed rail stations, and bus stations in Beijing."
"According to the information I received, Zhao Xiaosheng has confessed and implicated my father."
Zhao Ruilong's expression changed drastically, secretly relieved to have escaped unharmed. Zhao Xiaohui continued, "We must proceed with caution and make further plans once things have calmed down."
"Second sister, Dad... what should we do about Dad?"
At this moment, Zhao Ruilong was truly panicked. His greatest support had fallen.
Zhao Xiaohui remained expressionless, gripping the steering wheel with both hands, and said calmly, "Don't worry, even if Dad loses the struggle, he can still enjoy the treatment of a vice-state-level official in Qincheng Prison."
"It's just that there's no freedom."
Zhao Ruilong felt slightly relieved after hearing this, but he still couldn't hide his worry. He knew that the road ahead would be even more difficult.
Zhao Xiaohui's gaze was firm. She gently patted his shoulder and whispered, "Remember Ruilong, no matter what happens, we must be strong and learn to be strong."
“You can’t stay in the country now. Your second sister will find a way to send you abroad to the United States.”
"You have $5 million in your overseas account. That's enough for you to live a carefree life in the United States for the rest of your life."
A hint of gratitude flashed in Zhao Ruilong's eyes, and he nodded in agreement: "Second Sister, I understand."
Zhao Xiaohui nodded slightly, took an encrypted phone from her bag and handed it to Zhao Ruilong. "This contains your contact information abroad. Once you arrive in the United States, contact them first, and they will arrange everything for you. But remember, you must keep a low profile. Right now, all sorts of forces are watching our Zhao family."
Zhao Ruilong took the phone and clutched it tightly in his hand, as if grasping at his last hope. "Second Sister, what about you? Are you coming with me?"
Zhao Xiaohui gently shook her head, her eyes revealing a resolute determination. "I can't leave. If I stay in the country, I can still gather information for you and notify you in time if anything changes. Besides, if I leave, the Zhao family will truly be finished."
Zhao Ruilong wanted to persuade her further, but Zhao Xiaohui raised her hand to interrupt him, "Alright, Ruilong, time is running out. Hurry up and go into the villa. Someone inside will meet you and arrange your escape route. Remember, once you get to the United States, start over and don't get involved in these things anymore."
Zhao Ruilong knew this was not the time for sentimentality. He hugged Zhao Xiaohui tightly and said, "Second Sister, you must be careful." After saying that, he turned and walked into the villa.
Zhao Xiaohui watched Zhao Ruilong's figure disappear at the entrance of the villa, let out a long sigh of relief, then started the car and drove off in another direction.
She knew that she was about to face an even tougher battle, but for the sake of the Zhao family and her younger brother, she had no other choice.
As soon as Zhao Ruilong entered the villa, he was greeted by a man dressed in black and wearing a black mask. The man had a cold expression and his eyes revealed a well-trained demeanor. He said to Zhao Ruilong in a low voice, "Mr. Zhao, please follow me. I have already arranged the route for your departure."
Zhao Ruilong nodded and followed closely behind the man, navigating through the intricate corridors and rooms of the villa.
They evaded a series of surveillance cameras and finally arrived at a secluded basement. Inside, an SUV that had been waiting for them was quietly waiting.
The man opened the car door, gesturing for Zhao Ruilong to get in. "Mr. Zhao, this car will take you to a secret passage at the border, from where you can cross the border smoothly. Our people will meet you along the way to ensure your safety."
Zhao Ruilong gave the man a grateful look before getting into the car. The SUV started up, roared out of the basement, and sped towards the border.
Meanwhile, Zhao Xiaohui drove to a remote, abandoned factory. This place used to be a secret hideout for the Zhao family, and although it was now abandoned, some essential communication equipment was still preserved.
Zhao Xiaohui went into a small room in the factory, turned on an old-fashioned computer, and began an urgent communication with her contact person abroad.
She gave a detailed report on Zhao Ruilong's situation and requested that they arrange for his rendezvous as soon as possible. The other party said they were prepared and that someone would take Zhao Ruilong away immediately upon his arrival at the border.
Zhao Xiaohui breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that the most crucial thing now was to ensure Zhao Ruilong could leave the country smoothly. Only in this way could the Zhao family retain a sliver of hope for a comeback in future struggles.
She remained inside the abandoned factory, closely monitoring developments.
At the same time, she was always prepared to deal with any possible emergencies, providing final protection for Zhao Ruilong's escape.
The SUV carrying Zhao Ruilong sped along the rugged mountain road, and the atmosphere inside the vehicle was unusually tense.
He clutched the black suitcase tightly, which contained all his hopes and future. The off-road vehicle drove through dense forests and crossed deep ravines, finally arriving at a secret passage on the border.
This was a cave hidden by dense vegetation, its entrance so well disguised it was almost invisible. As soon as Zhao Ruilong got out of the car, he was greeted by several men in plainclothes with sharp eyes. They nodded briefly to him and then quickly led him into the (Li Zhaohao) cave.
The cave was dark and narrow, but Zhao Ruilong could feel that he was walking on a downward slope.
They walked along the slope for about ten minutes and finally arrived at a spacious underground space. There was a modified jeep parked there, and several fully armed men were standing next to it.
"Mr. Zhao, this is the final leg of your journey," a leader said to Zhao Ruilong. "This vehicle will take you across the border into Russia. Once there, someone will meet you and take you to the United States."
Zhao Ruilong nodded gratefully. He knew he had no way out and could only forge ahead. He climbed into the jeep, and with the roar of the engine, the vehicle sped out of the tunnel and headed towards the border.
During their journey across the border, Zhao Ruilong encountered several checks, but his entourage skillfully evaded them each time. Using forged documents and clever rhetoric, they successfully deceived the border inspectors.
Finally, in the darkness before dawn, Zhao Ruilong successfully crossed the border and entered the Russian Empire.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, knowing he was safe for the time being. But he also knew that this was only the beginning of his escape, and the road ahead was long, full of unknowns and dangers.
Back in China, Zhao Xiaohui remained steadfastly inside the abandoned factory, closely monitoring all developments. She knew she had to stay vigilant at all times, providing the final guarantee for Zhao Ruilong's escape. At the same time, she was also contemplating the future of the Zhao family, searching for an opportunity to turn the tide.
225. Zhong Zhengguo was placed under investigation, and Lin Yunfei, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, was also investigated.
225. Zhong Zhengguo was placed under investigation, and Lin Yunfei, a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, was also investigated.
Zhao Ruilong escaped unharmed and fled to Da Mao.
Zhao Xiaohui received a text message that said "OK," and then chose to delete it.
She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhao Xiaohui said with a self-deprecating smile, "Dad, don't worry. Ruilong will definitely be safe and leave Damao."
Next, Zhao Xiaohui put on sunglasses. A military off-road vehicle drove out of the abandoned factory.
Boom boom! !
The wind howled past the car window. She gripped the steering wheel tightly and silently prayed, "Everything will be alright."
The SUV drove off into the distance, kicking up a cloud of dust.
. . . . .
Zhao Lichun is completely finished; he has lost this struggle.
Zhao Lichun's power in Handong was completely eradicated, and his former authority vanished like smoke.
Of course, the Zhong family didn't win either.
Zhong Zhengguo was also placed under investigation by the cabinet a day later.
In this game of power, there are only two winners.
Those are the Lin family and the Zhao family of the capital.
Lin Yunfei received a text message from his father, Lin Hu, at his home in Handong Dihao Garden.
Lin Hu [Yunfei, based on Hou Liangping's confession and the account books he provided, the cabinet unanimously agreed to place Zhong Zhengguo under investigation.]
Lin Hu: [After his downfall, the position of Committee Member XXX became vacant. Your grandfather and I discussed it and decided to have Liu Cheng fill that position.]
Lin Yunfei couldn't help but smile, an uncontrollable grin spreading across his face, and replied with a message.
[Dad, I know. I'm here in Handong, what should I do?]
After a while, Lin Hu replied to the message.
I just called your grandfather, and he said he wants you to be nominated to join the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee.
[After three or four years of training, I can go to another province and serve as governor for one term.]
Lin Yunfei's heart skipped a beat, knowing this was the family's high expectation. A determined look appeared on his face. He took a deep breath and replied: Understood, Dad. I will live up to your expectations.

Lin Yunfei put down his phone and looked out the window. Autumn was in full swing, and a refreshing autumn breeze was blowing.
The cool autumn breeze rustled the leaves.
A surge of pride welled up in Lin Yunfei's heart, as if the autumn wind itself was cheering him on.
Since it's Grandpa's decision, I should naturally follow it.
I'm sorry, Lanlan. I made you worry...
Lin Yunfei posted a short message to his wife, Lanlan, about his grandfather Lin Jianguo's decision.
Seven days later, the Ministry of Revenue officially issued a document, and Lin Yunfei's name was prominently listed among the members of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee of Handong Province.
Lin Yunfei, male, Han nationality, 35 years old, graduated from Tsinghua University with a master's degree, member of the Communist Party of China, parents are farmers. Currently serving as a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee of Handong Province, in charge of the province's economic work.
. . .
The Provincial Party Committee Building, Handong Province.
Sha Ruijin, dressed in an expensive executive jacket, walked steadily into the conference room. Secretary Bai followed closely behind, when suddenly a phone rang.
Sha Ruijin frowned slightly, took the phone, and heard an urgent voice on the other end: "Xiao Jinzi, Zhong Zhengguo has been officially placed under investigation. This is a decision made by the cabinet through a vote."
“Secretary Bai…” Sha Ruijin gestured with his eyes, looking at Secretary Bai.
