Chapter 121 The Higher You Climb, the Harder You Fall
Qian Yizhen's ex-boyfriend Gao Pan has been pursuing his female classmate from the military academy and the daughter of a commander, Guo Yan, since breaking up with Qian Yizhen. Guo Yan's father, Commander Guo Ziqiang, arranged good positions for Gao Pan and Guo Yan in the army that most people would dream of. After marriage, they were even more glorious. Through the introduction of Commander Guo Ziqiang, Gao Pan and Guo Yan got to know many powerful figures in the military.
Gao Pan and Guo Yan, a couple, relied on their power to make things happen. They thought that nothing could stump them and they lived a very prosperous life, which was truly enviable.
Guo Yan is the chief's only daughter. After marriage, she married into a wealthy family and moved into her parents-in-law's home. She has been enjoying the high-level welfare benefits of Chief Guo Ziqiang. She has a special car when she goes out, logistics service soldiers at home, and soldiers on duty at the door.
There were cooks, laundry workers and cleaners in the house. After Guo Yan gave birth to her son Gao Weizhe, a nanny was added. It was said that a subordinate provided a senior nanny from Hong Kong for free in order to please the leader.
The chief, his wife, Guo Yan, and Gao Pan, the four of them never did housework and naturally enjoyed the welfare benefits of the chief level. Gao Weizhe had been served like an emperor since he was born.
As Gao Pan and Guo Yan's positions continued to rise, their desire for power and personal gain expanded, because he worshipped money too much. The poverty of his family when he was a child kept rolling in his mind, and he could not forget the scene where his fellow villagers donated money to him to go to college. If he had been rich at that time, he would not have suffered such torture. Gao Pan kept thinking this over and over again.
Finally, Gao Pan found an opportunity to make a fortune. He used his power to resell military supplies. Some illegal traders were willing to spend a lot of money to bribe him, and bundles of RMB flowed into his pocket.
In order to store the stolen money, Gao Pan bought a secluded house under a fake name and stored RMB. He wanted to use the stolen money to repay the villagers who donated money to help him go to college. He wanted to return to his hometown, Gaojia Village, Daoguan Township, and use the stolen money to build five large tiled houses for his parents so that they could spend their old age in peace. However, he was afraid that others would suspect that his money came from an unknown source. Gao Pan was hesitant and did not take any action.
The image that Gaopan leaves on outsiders is that of a person who is frugal, modest, prudent, diligent and honest.
Gao Pan's hobby is to change into casual clothes, ride a bicycle, and carry a woven bag full of money to a secluded house that only he knows. He closes the doors and windows and neatly stacks the bundles of RMB like bricks in each room. Every time he comes here and admires these walls made of RMB, he feels particularly happy and comfortable.
Later, he couldn't help but share this comfort and happiness with his wife Guo Yan.
Guo Yan was shocked when she found out: "You are committing a crime by marrying above your station." "Guo Yan, it's okay. You and I know it, and heaven and earth know it. After we are demobilized, we can spend the money. We will never lack money for the rest of our lives."
Guo Yan did not object, because Gao Pan said: "Even if we are discovered, we have Chief Guo Ziqiang to protect us, so we will be fine."
The law is long and wide, and nothing can escape it. Gao Pan's crime was exposed. Gao Pan was sentenced to ten years in prison for reselling military supplies, and Guo Yan was sentenced to three years in prison for harboring. Chief Guo Ziqiang failed to save Guo Yan and Gao Pan. Guo Yan and Gao Pan were both imprisoned.
The eight-year-old son Gao Weizhe was raised by his grandfather Guo Ziqiang and grandmother. Two years later, Chief Guo Ziqiang and his wife were discovered by relevant departments for espionage. Knowing that they could not escape the law, they committed suicide by taking poison at home.
With the consent of Guo Yan and Gao Pan, who are serving their sentences in prison, they temporarily let their 10-year-old son Gao Weizhe live with his grandparents in Gaojia Village, Daoguan Township, Pingzhou County. After Guo Yan is released from prison, she will take care of Gao Weizhe.
After Gao Weizhe was sent to his grandparents' home in the countryside, he could not adapt to the poor life in the remote countryside and ran away from home. His grandparents, two uncles and their families, and three aunts and their families searched for him for two days but could not find him. At the suggestion of the village party secretary, they went to the Daoguan Township Police Station to report the case.
The grandmother, who was already frail and bedridden for many years, was already devastated when she learned that her eldest son and daughter-in-law were in prison. The fact that her grandson Gao Weizhe ran away from home only added fuel to the fire. When the whole family ran out to look for their grandson, she quietly passed away alone.
Gao Weizhe, 10 years old, walked along the road and looked for opportunities to hitchhike. After two days, he finally found the train station. He was starving and begged for food like other street children. But before he could eat half a corn cake, it was snatched away by a little beggar. He was angry and tried to take it back, but was hit on the back of the head and fainted.
When Gao Weizhe woke up, he was already lying on a hospital bed. After the doctor's examination, he was found to be in good health and had fainted mainly due to hunger.
"Hello, Gao Weizhe, can you tell me why you ran away from Gaojia Village?" Ming Yuanhui said to Gao Weizhe lovingly. "Who are you? How do you know my name? Did you save me?" "It was the patrolling policeman who saved you. Your grandpa and grandma went to the police station to call the police because they couldn't find you."
"I want to go back to my home in Kunming. My grandparents' house is too smelly and dirty, and the food they eat is too bad."
"You are a minor now, you can't run around alone. Your mother will come to pick you up in half a year. You wait patiently at your grandparents' house, and half a year will pass quickly, okay?"
"My name is Ming Yuanhui, and I'm a comrade-in-arms with your father. If you have any difficulties, tell me and I'll try my best to help you solve them."
"Uncle, I want to go back to my grandparents' home in Kunming. I know they are dead. I also know my dad and mom made a mistake and were locked up. I am ten years old now and can take care of myself. Please send me back to Kunming."
"Student Gao Weizhe, you can do whatever you want. This won't work. You need to ask your parents for their opinion."
"I don't care. Anyway, I won't go back to my grandparents' house."
"Student Gao Weizhe, how about this? You can stay at my house for a few days. I have four children of your age and you can study and play with them. Let the police uncle communicate with your parents and then decide whether you should stay or go, okay?" Gao Weizhe nodded in agreement.
Ming Yuanhui took Gao Weizhe to the mall to buy two sets of clothes, shoes and socks. In the evening, Ming Yuanhui led Gao Weizhe to Chen's house, and Li Baoguo came forward to inquire about the situation.
Li Baoguo said to Gao Weizhe, "Do you want to take a shower and change into clean clothes?" "Uncle, I haven't taken a shower since I came to grandpa and grandma's house. Please give me a shower."
Li Baoguo prepared the bath water and said, "Gao Weizhe, the bath water is ready, come and take a bath." Gao Weizhe stood by the bathtub and said, "Uncle, I don't know how to bathe myself, you bathe me. Before, the maid at home bathed me, washed my feet and face."
"Gao Weizhe, you are ten years old now. From today on, you should take a bath, wash your feet and face by yourself. I will teach you how to take a bath now." Li Baoguo said seriously. Under Li Baoguo's guidance, Gao Weizhe reluctantly took a hot bath.
Seeing Gao Weizhe's lazy behavior, Ming Yuanhui discussed with Li Baoguo: "Let Gao Weizhe live in the same room with you for a while and train this hothouse flower well." Li Baoguo nodded in agreement.
Ming Yuanhui bought a single bed from his comrade's furniture factory and placed it in Li Baoguo's room. Grandma Chen Yalu found bedding and sheets and made the bed for Gao Weizhe.
Four kids were coming home from school. When they saw a strange kid of the same age coming to their house, they surrounded him and greeted him: "Hello, where are you from? Can you introduce yourself?"
Gao Weizhe said contemptuously: "I grew up in the military district commander's office. I don't associate with you little kids from small places."
Junhua glanced at Gao Weizhe and said, "You are quite arrogant. Tell me, what skills do you have? Let's compare them."
Yongjun said: "Let's see who is stronger in a wrestling match." "So what if you are stronger? Can you withstand long-range artillery and nuclear weapons?"
Qiangjun said: "Then tell me what your strengths are."
Li Baoguo said: "Gao Weizhe's strength is that he is like an emperor since he was born, being served by others. He can't take a bath, wash his feet, wash his face, wash his clothes, hang clothes, put on clothes or take off clothes by himself. He can't clean or do housework, and he doesn't know how meals are cooked." The four children, namely Military Flower, Support the Army, Love the Army and Strengthen the Army, laughed so hard that they fell over.
