A wonderful life through the 1970s

Director Zhang had been standing next to Zhang Han without him noticing, and he basically heard everything Lan Xiyue said.

Director Zhang took the phone from Zhang Han and asked seriously, "Is what Miss Lan said true? Do you know where it is?"

Lan Xiyue heard a different voice and knew that this person was the real boss. Without further ado, she said, "Gather the people now. Wait for me at the gate of the military compound. I will take you there. Move quickly. I'm afraid that the so-called boss they are talking about will go there and hurt the children."

"Okay, wait for me for half an hour, I'll go and gather some people now." Director Zhang hung up the phone without waiting for Lan Xiyue to answer.

Director Zhang picked up his hat and put it on. He just said he didn't want to eat and hurried out.

Mother Zhang complained, "What happened again? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhang Han explained on behalf of his father, "Mom, stop complaining. Dad just received a notice that a group of human traffickers have kidnapped more than 20 children. From what they said, they have rescued some, and some are in the hands of their boss. We don't know if we can rescue them all safely this time. For such a big event, my dad, the police chief, must go."

When Zhang's mother heard that they were human traffickers, she was furious. "These damn human traffickers should be cut into pieces if they are caught. How many families have been torn apart because of the loss of their children? There are so many children this time, and I don't know if your father and his men can rescue all of them safely."

Zhang Han comforted her, "Don't worry, Mom. The person who just called was from the Lan family. Her father is the commander. I just heard her say that she would send troops to help. They will definitely rescue the children safely."

"Lan family? I just heard Auntie say it was a girl who called. When did you get to know each other?" Mother Zhang asked puzzledly.

Zhang Han smiled and replied, "I met her once before the Lu Xiangbei dinner at a private restaurant. Lu Xiangbei said she was the only girl in the Lan family. At the time, I thought more friends would open up more avenues, so I left my home phone number with them. I didn't expect she would use it today."

"I've heard your father mention the Lan family. They're one of the six major families in Beijing. The Li and Wang families have been declining over the past few years, and I heard that the Lan family was involved."

"I actually know something about this. The girl who just called was stolen by the eldest daughter of the Li family and sold to human traffickers eighteen years ago. This is the only girl in the Lan family for several generations. Of course, the Lan family hates the Li family. According to Lu Xiangbei, if the Lan family had not scattered most of their people in order to find this daughter, they would have wiped out the Li family long ago. Now that the person has been found, how could the Lan family let the Li family go?"

"According to what you said, the Lan family is quite powerful. They destroyed a large family in just one or two months." Mother Zhang was amazed.

"Dad was promoted by the Lu family. Strictly speaking, we are inseparable from the Lu family. So Lu Xiangbei will not hide some things from me. The decline of the Li family and the Wang family this time is the result of the joint efforts of the Lan family, the Lu family and the Deng family."

"No wonder the Li and Wang families fell so quickly." Mother Zhang sighed.

"Now the Lu family, the Lan family, and the Deng family have united, and our family belongs to the Lu family faction, so Lu Xiangbei introduced me to the younger generations of the Lan family." Zhang Han explained.

"Alas! None of the children raised by these big families are simple. I have met Lu Xiangbei several times, but I still can't see through him. He has such a demeanor at such a young age. He is indeed much better than you." Mother Zhang commented.

Zhang Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "How can you belittle your own son like this?"
