Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 1186 Please Say Something

In the small courtyard of the Li residence, except for Fugui, everyone else looked at Li Jiankun in confusion.

Li Jiankun looked at Miss Shen. After the couple exchanged glances, Shen Hongyi was surprised, but then she calmed down a little. She leaned close to the ear of the tearful Yuying and whispered in a low voice, comforting her mother-in-law not to be sad anymore, as things would turn around.

Although she didn't know exactly what had happened, she only knew that her husband sent Fugui to the post office, and he had been waiting for news for some time.

I also asked my husband what the news was, but he couldn't say for sure and said it was just his speculation.

Speculation?

This is exactly why Shen Hongyi was still in a heavy mood before.

Now it seems that my husband's speculation has really come true.

Although she really couldn't guess what the news was that could turn around the current bad situation, no, the word bad was not enough to describe it.

They have no place in this country anymore.

However, Shen Hongyi had never seen her husband like this before, and Fugui was a very reliable person, so she didn't think too much about it, as long as it was useful.

Several people from the special department, one of them frowned and asked: "What are you laughing at?"

They came to take the people away, but he didn't cooperate right away and told him to wait for five minutes. That was all. But when they were leaving, they stopped at the door with their hands on their hips and laughed. He didn't seem to realize how serious this matter was.

"Oh, right." As if he suddenly remembered something, Li Jiankun glanced at him and said, "If you want to take me away, I will go with you, but it won't be that easy for me to get out later."

This person almost laughed out of anger, as if no one would beg you to come out. I don't know how many people want you to spend your whole life in jail, and some even want to reward you with a peanut.

You still don't want to come out?

That’s perfect!

"Are you threatening us?" the man asked indifferently.

Li Jiankun looked past Fugui and towards the closed courtyard gate. "Did you see the scene outside? Someone is fanning the flames. My family has not left the house during this period. We can't sleep at night and have been crying. I want to settle this account with them."

The man said with an unchanged expression: "Didn't you cause this situation?"

Li Jiankun raised his eyebrows, then chuckled. If they didn't agree, then they would forget it. From now on, he would practice the strategy of keeping silent.

It's better not to let these people speak.

----

In a quiet single room in Haidian Office.

Li Jiankun met Director Gong, a middle-aged man with a 3:7 hairstyle that was as neat as a bicycle seat.

The two of them sat next to each other on a red lacquered wooden sofa against a wall.

There was a five-drawer table opposite. A young man with glasses, dressed like the men who brought Li Jiankun here, was sitting at the back, with a notebook spread out on the table in his arms and a Hero brand pen in his hand.

"Regarding your last words in the Yanyuan Auditorium, you need to answer a few questions. First..."

...

Director Gong asked seven or eight questions in a row, and after each question, he would pause for a moment, as if to give Li Jiankun time to answer. However, Li Jiankun just sat on the sofa, smoking quietly, without any intention of answering.

After asking all the questions, Director Gong waited for a long time, but Li Jiankun still did not respond.

Director Gong frowned and said, "The impact of this incident is beyond your imagination. The whole country is discussing it now, and other regions are all waiting and watching, or waiting for a result. If it was just an unknown person talking big, it might not be a big deal, but you happen to be famous. You don't think that if you keep silent from now on, you can make a big thing a small thing, right? I tell you, it's impossible. Since we are here, this matter must have a conclusion. If you keep silent, it will not do you any good. I am not asking you these questions, nor am I trying to trick you into saying anything. If you think it is wrong, you can just say 'no' and we will record it truthfully."

After a short pause, Director Gong's voice softened a bit, "You are a low-key person. You have done a lot of things that are beneficial to the country, but most of the people are unaware of it. Here, I want to say thank you. We are all very puzzled. You are so smart, why did you suddenly make such a big scene and say those words in front of so many media? Your identity is very sensitive. Logically speaking, the things you did before should be rewarded. This is the reason why there is no award. You have to understand that, if we talk too much, merits and demerits cannot be offset. I said something that is not suitable for me to say, and now what do you want us to do? How can we calm down this boiling situation without coming to a conclusion?"

Li Jiankun had not expected that he would suddenly become serious, which made him, who had originally intended to remain silent, slowly speak: "How long will it take for the news from the Soviet Union to reach your ears?"

Director Gong: “?”

This is all Li Jiankun has to say.

Although he knew how to answer without making mistakes, he was unwilling to speak against his conscience. Nothing was completely right, especially in this age of hesitation and exploration. He happened to know many issues that others did not know and would not admit.

There is no use in talking more.

Director Gong stood up helplessly. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "What do you mean by what you said before you left? Are you saying that the current situation is boiling because someone is behind it?"

Li Jiankun nodded, and then said: "Please send me a bed and quilt. If you don't have it, let my family send it."

Director Gong looked at him with an expression of concern for the mentally retarded, "Well, even if that's the case, you want to settle accounts with them, but you plan to live here, how are you going to settle accounts with them?"

Li Jiankun closed his eyes.

Director Gong raised his eyebrows, he was really anxious!

After leaving the room, Director Gong, puzzled, found a subordinate and ordered, "Go contact the diplomatic department and ask what news there is from the Soviet Union?"

The subordinate scratched his head and asked, "What news?"

"It's the news! Just ask them and see what they say."

Director Gong thought to himself, if you ask me, who should I ask? Li Jiankun only said two sentences in total. He did not mention the one about sending quilts. The only useful thing he said was "news from the Soviet Union", although it was very confusing.

The subordinate said "oh" and left, but soon came back and found Director Gong who came to the director's office to drink tea.

A man in a wide-brimmed hat was faster than him and had already reported into the room.

Director Gong frowned and said, "There really is someone behind the scenes fanning the flames..." Director Chen stood up, walked to his side, and asked in a low voice, "What should we do now?"

Director Gong was overwhelmed. Otherwise, how could they have come here so quickly?

Li Jiankun, ah Li Jiankun, you have been smart all your life, but you are confused for a moment!

----

In the room, Li Jiankun got a green military quilt, spread it out on the long seat of the wooden sofa, using half of it as a quilt and the other half as a mattress, and then he lay down in it and fell asleep.

I don’t know how long it has been.

I heard a voice calling me and my body was gently pushed by someone.

Slowly opening his sleepy eyes, Li Jiankun saw Director Gong standing next to him, and behind him was a tall middle-aged man. Li Jiankun had dealt with this man before, and his name was Chief Chen.

What was different from before was that Director Gong looked horrified.

There was also a hint of fear on Chen's square, broad-mouthed face.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Li Jiankun yawned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Director Gong seemed to be trembling as he spoke these words. He spoke word by word: "A coup d'état took place in the Soviet Union!"

Chen added, "Did you know about it when Director Gong's people came to your house?"

Li Jiankun nodded and sat up on the sofa, still wrapped in the quilt.

Director Gong sat down on the single-seat sofa next to him, rested his elbows on his legs, leaned forward, and asked, "I know that you spent more than half a year in the Soviet Union before returning to China this time. Did you learn something there that made you say those words in the Yanyuan Auditorium?"

Li Jiankun picked up the coat spread on the quilt, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit one and smoked it slowly.

Director Gong and Chief Chen, who was sitting on the single-seat sofa opposite them, looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"Just say something. I beg you to do that, okay?" Director Gong said with a sad face. "What else do you think will happen next?"

Li Jiankun's eyes were unfocused, his mind was wandering, thinking about other things.

Director Gong stamped his feet in anxiety.

What a vicious vision this person has!
Director Gong had known him for a long time and knew a lot of his secrets. He always believed that he was a genius.

I only realize it now.

Li Jiankun is indeed extremely smart.

He is stupid, and it is this world.

"What do you want? Do you want us to kneel down and beg you together?" Director Gong almost cried.

Now, the people above are eager to know how this coup will develop. If it was just an unexpected incident that no one expected, then we can only wait and see what happens after being shocked. The problem is that some people have expected it.

Will this person “see” more?

At this critical juncture, if we take a step ahead in preparation, we may be able to avoid a disaster.

Li Jiankun moved his body and reached out to take the ashtray on the coffee table. Chen took it first and handed it to him. Li Jiankun said thank you.

Director Gong then looked at Li Jiankun and said solemnly: "I will find out the person behind this that you mentioned."

Li Jiankun said, let’s find it first.

Director Gong was delighted and followed Chief Chen away.

...

----

"According to our station, at midnight Moscow time yesterday, several hard-line senior leaders of the Soviet Union jointly established an emergency security committee. The specific reasons and results are unknown, and further news is awaited..."

In the main room, there was a Red Lantern brand radio on the square table.

The old man surnamed Feng, Wang Guozhen, Xie Wei and others were all dumbfounded.

Since he took office here, the old man surnamed Feng, who had never shown his emotions in front of the younger generation, now had a horrified expression on his face, and his cloudy eyes swayed from side to side.

"This, this, this..." Wang Guozhen stammered.

The old man surnamed Feng said, "I agree."

After they finished talking, they stood up and walked out the door almost at the same time.

Xie Wei and the others were left staring at each other in bewilderment. Although this was a big deal, it seemed to mean that Li Jiankun's words were not without purpose, but why not discuss it again? This was different from the fact that Li Jiankun was a big capitalist, right?
Xie Wei called out to them a few times, but the two did not even turn around.

Wang Guozhen disappeared even faster. The old man surnamed Feng, who was leaning on a dragon-headed crutch and lived within the Second Ring Road, had to take a bus back. He asked a young man in the courtyard to go to the Haidian town to find him a taxi. While they were waiting in the courtyard, the taxi had not shown up yet, but a Santana sedan with a special license plate stopped at the door.

Looking at the people with badges on their chests getting off the car, the old man surnamed Feng panicked. He looked around, wishing he could find a hole in the ground to hide in.

"Who's leading here?"

The old man surnamed Feng wanted to cry but had no tears. He said angrily, "I'm not the only one!"
