The country entrusted me to buy an aircraft carrier, Hou Liangping, do you dare to investigate?

Zhong Zhengguo frowned slightly upon hearing this. Why was Ye Mingxuan so angry?

And the first thing they asked about was Zhong Xiaoai. Did Zhong Xiaoai do something in Handong that offended the Ye family?

That's impossible. Zhong Xiaoai went down there on a mission. Besides, it hasn't been long. How could she have offended the Ye family?

Could it be that the Ye family wants to take action against him?

Zhong Zhengguo's heart jumped.

Thinking of this, his tone became less friendly.

"Old Ye, everyone knows about this. What's wrong? What did Xiao Ai do to upset you?"

"Old Ye, just bear with them. They're all young people, and they're bound to make mistakes in what they say and do. There's no need for you to take it too seriously."

"Old Ye, you're a high-ranking official, you can't be so petty, can you?"

Ye Mingxuan almost laughed in anger when he heard this.

Your daughter bullied my daughter, making her so scared, and you still expect me to be understanding towards Zhong Xiaoai?

dream.

“Zhong Zhengguo, I won’t waste my breath on you. To tell you the truth, your Xiao Ai and my Ye Zi had a conflict in Handong.”

"If you don't want to cause a bigger conflict, you should transfer Zhong Xiaoai back as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Zhengguo snorted coldly. Transfer Zhong Xiaoai back? How could that be?

If he is transferred back, others will think that the Zhong family has admitted defeat. Once this statement is made, what will his subordinates think?

This is no small matter, so Zhong Xiaoai absolutely cannot return until she has resolved the situation in Handong.

"Old Ye, you must be joking. Our Xiao Ai went there on a mission. How could she come back so easily if she didn't complete the mission?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Mingxuan remained silent for a moment before speaking calmly.

"If that's the case, then I understand."

After saying that, Ye Mingxuan hung up the phone.

Zhong Zhengguo listened to the busy tone on the phone, remained silent for a while, and then sighed.

This time, we've completely broken ties with the Ye family.

Although Ye Mingxuan did not make a clear statement, everyone knew what was going on.

Zhong Zhengguo sat blankly in the chair for a long time. The Ye family was not an easy family to deal with.

They wield immense power and wield significant influence in the south.

Therefore, in order to guard against the Ye family's next move, he also had to take action.

Thinking about this, Zhong Zhengguo pondered silently what resources he could utilize.

Besides the Zhong family's own influence, Duan Yi was also an asset to him.

After all, it was he who helped Zhong Xiaoai go to Handong this time.

As for the rest, very few would help if they knew the Ye family would take action against them.

Zhong Zhengguo sighed deeply; this time, he had truly encountered a difficult problem.

I wish there was someone else who could help me.

Wait, there seems to be a family we could try.

Zhong Zhengguo looked at a photograph on the table with a complicated expression.

In the photo, Zhong Xiaoai is happily playing with a handsome little boy.

He had originally planned to have Zhao Wuji and Zhong Xiaoai get married.

The two grew up together and were childhood sweethearts.

Zhao Wuji was deeply in love with Zhong Xiaoai.

The two families were well-matched, making them a perfect couple.

The marriage between the two families not only allows lovers to be united in marriage, but more importantly, it allows their respective powers to cooperate.

The benefits this brings are definitely greater than the sum of its parts.

However, to everyone's surprise, when Zhong Xiaoai went to university, she was captivated by Hou Liangping and even gave herself to him.

Zhong Zhengguo had no choice but to reluctantly agree to the marriage.

Zhao Wuji was furious about this, but it was no use. Zhong Xiaoai had already married Hou Liangping, and the matter was settled; he couldn't change it.

The Zhao family was also extremely angry, believing that the Zhong family had gone back on their word.

At that time, the situation was extremely tense, and Zhong Zhengguo was enjoying great success and was at the height of his power. He only offered a brief apology to the Zhao family for their accusations.

There were no further comments.

The Zhao family was inexplicably enraged and wanted to start a war with the Zhong family.

However, Zhao Wuji stopped him.

Over the years, the Zhao family and the Zhong family have had no contact with each other.

Zhao Wuji has not yet married or had children, and the Zhao family blames the Zhong family for it all.

However, considering Zhao Wuji's feelings, he did not do anything out of line.

However, tripping someone up or something like that is still inevitable.

If he were to call Zhao Wuji now, Zhao Wuji would most likely help him.

As the eldest grandson of the Zhao family, Zhao Wuji naturally had certain rights in this regard.

With the Zhao family's help, the Ye family's attack can be easily stopped.

But can he really bring himself to do it?

After all, it was he who acted unfairly back then.

With a sigh, Zhong Zhengguo slowly picked up the phone and dialed.

The phone rang a few times, and then Zhao Wuji's voice came through.

"Uncle Zhong, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, the Zhao family can help you."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Zhengguo sighed, his guilt deepening.

"Wuji".

Zhao Wuji interrupted Zhong Zhengguo.

"Uncle Zhong, I did it for Xiao Ai, this is my own choice."

With that, Zhao Wuji hung up the phone.

Zhong Zhengguo sighed and slumped into a chair, realizing that he had made a mistake all these years.

And Xiao Ai, you've mistaken her for someone else too.

Look at the Hou Liangping you chose. Besides being good at talking, what other skills does he have?

Why did others choose to make their move when Hou Liangping went to Handong?

Isn't it because you, Hou Liangping, are the Zhong family's weakness?

Zhong Zhengguo sighed and silently shook his head.

Then, he thought of something and called Zhong Xiaoai.

Zhong Xiaoai's voice rang out.

"Dad, why are you calling at this hour?"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Zhengguo spoke seriously.

“Xiao Ai, no matter how far you’ve gotten, and no matter who you’ve found out, you have to keep investigating. I’ll be here in the capital to protect you.”

Now that the alliance with the Zhao family and Duan Yi has been established, and the fact that the Ye family will target them has been confirmed.

The Zhong family must not back down even a step, because sometimes that step can lead to defeat.

So, when Zhong Zhengguo told Zhong Xiaoai to investigate thoroughly, that's what he meant.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Xiaoai's previously irritated face became more serious.

"Dad, there are some things I'm unsure about, and I need your advice."

Zhong Zhengguo became nervous upon hearing this. Zhong Xiaoai's words meant that the situation in Handong was very complicated.

You should know that Zhong Xiaoai wouldn't easily say that.

"Say it, I'm listening."
