Chapter 320: Chapter 313 Military Department Visit_2
With that thought, Li Guohua snapped his fingers. A waiter had already come up to him. The service staff at the Dynasty Club were impeccable in every aspect. Be it their actions, expressions, or tone of voice, they all demonstrated a kind of respect for the guests.

“Sir, do you need anything?”

“Bring two bottles of Lafite, the ’82 vintage will do,” Li Guohua said indifferently.

Once he finished speaking, the nearby waiter nodded with a smile, “Alright, sir. Two bottles of ’82 Lafite. Please show me your membership card so I can make a note of it.”

Having a membership card for the Dynasty Club was not a problem for Li Guohua. Nie Zhenbang wouldn’t be so petty as to refuse Li Guohua’s card application. If he did that, people might think it was because Nie Zhenbang was afraid of Li Guohua, which would not be a good look at all.

The waiter took the membership card, and in less than two minutes, he brought over a tray with two bottles of Lafite on it. He placed the membership card next to it, along with a small receipt.

At that moment, Huo Yuangang curiously picked up the receipt and read the amount on it. He stood up in surprise and said, “So expensive, are you making us suckers? A bottle of ’82 Lafite for 200,000 each. Are you trying to rob us?”

Much to Huo Yuangang’s surprise, Li Guohua stopped him, saying, “Yuangang, sit down. A defining characteristic of the Dynasty Club is its prestige. Otherwise, why come here at all? You might as well go to the Capital Restaurant. The Lafite is cheaper there.”

On the surface, Li Guohua looked indifferent, but in reality, he was seething with anger inside. Nie Zhenbang’s tactic was downright ruthless. He knew full well he was fleecing Li Guohua, yet Li Guohua could do nothing but accept. Should he investigate other people’s prices? Would he lose face that way? If word got out that the young master of the Li family couldn’t afford two bottles of wine, wouldn’t he become a laughingstock?

At that moment, the door to the Dynasty Club was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Standing at the entrance were two Russian security guards wearing displeased expressions. Apparently, they had already had some scuffle with two nearby soldiers.

Two men dressed in military uniform stood at the door. This sight immediately drew everyone’s attention. There were also active-duty military members in the Dynasty Club, like Zhang Xu, for instance. However, there had never been direct entries of men in military uniforms. These two were the first.

Without waiting for the room to respond, the sharp eyes of the soldiers swept across the hall. One of them then sternly asked, “Excuse me! Where is Comrade Nie Zhenbang? We are from the Huaxia People’s Army General Political Department.”

General Political Department!

Upon hearing these words, everyone in the hall quieted down. The General Political Department, as the name implies, is responsible for dealing with political matters. It manages the party’s work and ideological and political work throughout the army. As an eminent figure once said, the Political Department is the lifeblood of the entire army. If it involves the army, then it must be a serious violation of discipline. This falls within the scope of the General Political Department.

Moreover, the two soldiers emanated an aura of murderous intent and gravity. They appeared well-trained. If they were to guess correctly, they should be directly under the General Political Department.

At this moment, Nie Zhenbang was also puzzled. The Nie family had extensive connections in the military system. After all, his grandfather was once the second-in-command in the military. However, Nie Zhenbang had no ties to the military because on the surface, Nie Zhenbang had never served in the military.

Despite his confusion, Nie Zhenbang stood up and said, “I am Nie Zhenbang. What can I assist you with?”

At this moment, the two soldiers were sizing up Nie Zhenbang. After a moment of silence and a glance at each other, the same soldier who had been speaking said once more, “Director Nie, I apologize for the intrusion. Do you have a quiet place? We were commissioned to talk about something with you in private.”

Hearing this, Nie Zhenbang didn’t hesitate and immediately nodded, “Fine, follow me.” After leading the two soldiers up to the third floor of the Dynasty Club and into a private booth, Nie Zhenbang ordered the waiter to pour out two cups of green tea. He then smiled and said after, “This is a private club, so it has unquestionable privacy and security. You can rest assured. Just speak freely. You need not have to fight with the retired Russian Special Forces of the Dynasty Club in order to see me urgently. What’s the pressing issue? Just go ahead and say it.”

Hearing Nie Zhenbang say this, the two soldiers seemed somewhat embarrassed. After all, they were on someone else’s turf. However, perhaps because the issue was serious, they did not beat around the bush. One of the soldiers, staring at Nie Zhenbang, asked directly, “Comrade Nie Zhenbang, you served as a black soldier for three years, didn’t you?”

Nie Zhenbang was taken aback at this question. His military service was personally arranged by his grandfather and approved and recognized by Elder Nan. Now, it was brought up by people from the General Political Department to cause trouble? That definitely wasn’t the case. So, Nie Zhenbang didn’t hesitate and promptly nodded in confirmation, “Indeed, I served in the Northwest Military Region Tiger Battalion for three years.”

Upon hearing Nie Zhenbang admit, one of the soldiers nodded with a smile, “Comrade Nie Zhenbang, we are here primarily at the special request of a comrade with whom you served in the Tiger Battalion. Because he specifically asked to see you.”

Upon hearing this, Nie Zhenbang quickly stood up. The comrades from the Tiger Battalion who had a close relationship with him were either Devil Yao Yuan, Qin Lang or Xiong Changgui. The involvement of the General Political Department was certainly not good news. Nie Zhenbang understood that, although he was no longer in the military nowadays. Still, his family background was clear to him, as there was still a high-ranking official of the Jingcheng City Military District in his family. From his indirect and direct experience, he could see through the situation.

He then asked in a deep voice, “Comrades, is something wrong with Sun and Storekeeper?”

Because he was anxious, Nie Zhenbang blurted out their nicknames. Seeing their confused expressions, he immediately added, “I’m sorry, let me clarify. Sun and Storekeeper are the nicknames I gave to Qin Lang and Xiong Changgui.”

Hearing Nie Zhenbang’s words, one of the soldiers seriously said, “No wonder Xiong Changgui kept saying he wanted to talk to the Crown Prince. Now I understand, your nickname is Crown Prince, right?”

Hearing the soldier’s words, Nie Zhenbang felt a tightening in his chest. So, Xiong Changgui had run into trouble. How could this be? Such a humble and straightforward country boy, how could he get into trouble just like that?
