Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth
Chapter 1430 - 1115: Both Sides Suffer

Chapter 1430: Chapter 1115: Both Sides Suffer

If Wang Ye is not mistaken, this must be the work of Medvedev or the Kremlin!

Their real target is actually Grezlov, trying to pin the label of "corruption" on him!

If this matter can’t be clarified, would the voters still dare to cast their votes for Grezlov?

Once Grezlov, this rival, is taken out, facing only Rossiyana, Medvedev’s chances of winning will obviously be much higher.

Because Rossiyana’s "potential" is just that high, it is difficult to gain a higher support rate.

But Medvedev is different!

After getting rid of Grezlov, he could also attract some support from the factions that split from Grezlov, after all, they were all part of the Hilarwick Group before, there’s that camaraderie...

If Grezlov can be eliminated before the second round even starts, there wouldn’t even need to be a final round in the election, the second round could settle it!

Thus, before the start of the second round of elections, there began to be TV broadcasts of damaging information about Grezlov’s son...

It’s said that this time it wasn’t just exposing dirty laundry, but that inspection departments have already started taking action, planning to take Grezlov’s son to court!

They even want to investigate if there’s a "protective umbrella" behind him.

This is simply undisguised, directly targeting Grezlov!

...

After the news came out, Grezlov immediately received the message, his face turning extremely grim in an instant.

Regarding that bit of trouble his son got into, Grezlov of course knew about it, and had lectured him several times, telling him to hold back!

But such things are common, it’s not just his own son who does this, other high officials do the same...

Now picking on his son as a "target," the real purpose is obviously directed at him.

Perhaps, this is Medvedev’s retaliation for the removal of Yefrogen from office some days ago!

At the time, he himself had suffered an assassination attempt, and taking that opportunity, had Yefrogen removed from office, Medvedev’s reaction was none, he thought Medvedev had swallowed that bitter pill.

But looking at it now, that wasn’t the case, he was just waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to him!

He absolutely couldn’t just sit and wait for death; if it really came to judicial process, not to mention whether they’d really pin the blame on him, it would also affect his general election...

After all, not many voters would be willing to support a candidate suspected of using power for personal gain!

Of course, Medvedev probably didn’t think of framing him through his son, after all, he had resigned from the Chairman position, but was still a Duma Member, which provided some immunity.

Thinking of this, Grezlov got restless, he picked up the phone and called Rilinov to discuss what should be done next.

...

After receiving Grezlov’s call, Rilinov soon arrived at his house.

As soon as they met, the first thing Rilinov said was, "This matter is tough to handle!"

Clearly, he also understood the implications behind this matter.

Perhaps the opponent didn’t care whether Grezlov’s son was convicted, but as long as they could publicize the case during the general election and closely connect it with Grezlov, then their goal would be achieved!

In previous mutual attacks, they would at most criticize each other’s limited experience and lack of capability, living off the state yet idling about doing nothing, but linking it with illegal and criminal activities was a bit too much.

From this, we can also see that Medvedev’s side is indeed desperate and starting to use any means necessary.

Grezlov’s face remained grim, nodding in acknowledgment; there was no choice, it was his son who had failed him, now others had leverage directly threatening his general election!

Rilinov said piercingly, "We cannot just sit back and also cannot only defend passively, we must take the initiative to strike!"

"Take the initiative to strike? What do you mean..." Grezlov asked tentatively.

Rilinov smiled mildly, unhurried, and said, "Since the other side has abandoned all principles, we don’t need to stick to politeness either. They want to use your son’s matter to target you, we can use the same tactic. When Medvedev was President of the Russian Gas Industry Group, he also privately availed benefit for himself and his relatives, and I have evidence in hand!"

Grezlov’s brows leaped, his face showing joy.

If Rilinov was not joking, then he might have a way out!

The opponent wanted to attack him, and needed to use his son to launch this "indirect attack," which naturally wouldn’t be so apparent.

Now his counterattack would be a direct one against Medvedev, and if the evidence was solid, then Medvedev might as well not participate in the general election and just go directly to jail!

If this had been earlier, even if he had such evidence in hand, Grezlov might have considered carefully whether to use it or not, after all, having been in politics for so many decades, and the past years being so chaotic domestically, no one was clean.

Thus, there were some things that by mutual understanding, everyone avoided addressing, otherwise no one would have it easy.

But now, since Medvedev’s side had set the precedent, he certainly didn’t need to be polite!
