The Space-Time Boss: 1970s Revolution

Chapter 43: Plan Failed

But what is happening now?

At this moment, Lu Jianguo came downstairs with a clearly amused expression. "Director You, we didn't find anything. Look at what you've done..."

You Pengtao was sweating profusely, muttering to himself, "How could this be?"

He pulled one of his subordinates aside and asked a few questions in a low voice. Seeing his subordinate shake his head as well, You Pengtao's face turned pale instantly.

His heart pounded as the situation spiraled out of his control.

You Pengtao was not a fool; in fact, he was very clever. With nothing found, he knew his plan had failed.

He was aware that Fu Weilun had a significant amount of evidence against him. This move was intended to take control of the situation first, giving him a slim chance of survival.

After all, the people behind him would not protect him in a critical moment; they would abandon him.

So, he had to find a way to dirty Fu Weilun first, hoping to have a chance to make amends with those above. But now, his plan had hit a snag.

Seeing You Pengtao's shifting expression, Lu Jianguo sighed inwardly, thinking it was truly a close call. "Director You, your people really made things difficult for Secretary Fu. This whole thing seems quite unjust..."

"Director Lu... I received a report," You Pengtao, realizing his scheme had failed, was now trying to brush off the day's events. "Please help me explain to Secretary Fu... I'll treat him to dinner as an apology..."

Lu Jianguo looked at the person in front of him with disdain, finding his lack of responsibility distasteful. If you dare to scheme against others, you must be prepared to face the consequences of failure.

Lu Jianguo glanced at him scornfully and turned to leave.

He approached Fu Weilun and greeted Fu Xiao, smiling. Then he turned to Fu Weilun and said, "I'll take my people back. Don't forget to send me the items later. If it's late, it'll be too late. The afternoon car is leaving."

Fu Weilun nodded. "I'll have someone send it to you before noon. And thank you for making this trip..."

"Ah, it's nothing."

Lu Jianguo waved his hand dismissively.

Seeing the mess in his dormitory and You Pengtao's pale face, Lu Jianguo patted him on the shoulder, implying, "Well... you should handle this on your own. Think about how to resolve today's issue when you get back!!!"

As Fu Weilun, Fu Yu, and Fu Xiao turned and left, Fu Weilun's eyes were as cold as a deep, bottomless pool, chilling and ruthless.

Left at the county committee dormitory entrance, You Pengtao felt intense regret.

Inside the guard room, Grandpa Wang watched the scene unfold and, once it was over, took out his cherished wine, ate the meat that Fu Xiao had given him, and sipped his wine while humming contentedly.

"What a performance," he said with a satisfied tone.

Fu Weilun returned to the county committee office with Fu Yu and Fu Xiao, instructing Secretary Wang to bring two cups of water. He then led them into his office.

He took out a cigarette, lit it, and sat at his desk, looking over the documents that Secretary Wang had just brought in.

Fu Yu and Fu Xiao sat quietly on the sofa, waiting.
