Starting from Handong, in the name of Xiao Hao!

As soon as Chang Junhao walked in, he immediately attracted everyone's attention. Among these people were almost all those who were very close to them.

Moreover, there weren't many people in the small hall to begin with, and they all recognized Chang Junhao and his group at this point.

They were all close families: the Wu family, the Liu family, the Chen family, the Li family, the Kong family, the Ding family, and finally the Chang family.

Moreover, most of these people are military personnel, while a small number work in the government.

However, among the military personnel, none were below the rank of lieutenant general; in fact, nearly half of those wearing military uniforms were generals.

And of the remaining officials, even those I didn't know, none of them were below the ministerial level.

There was even a vice-state level figure, none other than our Second Uncle Chang, Chang Hao.

When Chang Junhao entered, everyone turned to look in their direction.

Looking at these people who carry several stars on their shoulders, Chang Junhao, Li Weijun, and Wei Zhijun are all doing well.

They all have people like that in their families, and they are not strangers to these people.

But Zhong Xiaoai felt like her scalp was about to explode. With so many big shots watching them, who could withstand it?

Moreover, Zhong Xiaoai hadn't forgotten how she got here. If these people wanted to seek justice for Chang Junhao, her father couldn't stop them.

Moreover, she wouldn't stop her, much less dare to. If she still couldn't guess Chang Junhao's identity by now, she would be a fool.

All I can do is pray that these big shots won't take me seriously and will just treat it as child's play.

Otherwise, if things really get serious, she's probably doomed, and even her father won't be able to get away with it easily.

Now she had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward, not daring to stop just yet, with so many people watching her.

"Xiao Hao is here!" Many people greeted Chang Junhao upon seeing him.

"Uncle Li, Uncle Wu, Uncle Ding..." Chang Junhao greeted them one by one.

As you walk further inside, you can see the figures of several people inside.

Chang An, Chang Hao, and the other three stars sat around the old man in the middle.

The elderly people inside were all influential figures back in the day.

They were all big shots from the previous generation or the generation before that, and the least important of them were at the same level as their fathers.

Moreover, the positions were rotated, but the rank was never lowered, and there was a tall old man in the very center, Chang Hu.

Upon seeing the man's face, Zhong Xiaoai knew that her guess had finally come true.

"Grandpa, Grandpa Li, Grandpa Kong, Grandpa Ding, Grandpa Wu!" Chang Junhao greeted the elderly men as he entered.

"Xiao Hao is here? Come quickly!" Several elderly people had slightly red eyes.

Grandpa Li, in particular, had a somewhat hoarse voice.

"Dad, Second Uncle!" Chang Junhao greeted Chang An and Chang Hao again.

Zhong Xiaoai may not know much about other people, but she knows Chang Hao very well.

Their secretary in Beijing, one who was at the same level as her father, and another person named Chang An, were people she wasn't very familiar with.

But they were still acquaintances, the same kind of people. Thinking about what she had done before, she couldn't help but want to cry, and a shiver ran down her spine.

"Hey, sit down!" Chang Hu waved his hand as he saw his eldest grandson arrive.

"Who is this girl..." Chang Hu turned around and looked at Zhong Xiaoai, asking directly.

"Dad, it's a girl from the Zhong family!"

"The Zhong family? How did you get involved with the Zhong family's girl? Are you in trouble?" Chang Hu looked at Chang Junhao and asked directly.

"No, Grandpa, she came here for something. Didn't I get reported before?"

"What?" Upon hearing this, many people turned to look in their direction.

All eyes were on Zhong Xiaoai, putting her under immense pressure.

She's still so young, she shouldn't have to shoulder so much. Even if her father came, he couldn't bear it.

Each of these people in front of me is like a mountain, capable of crushing someone.

"what happened?"

"Alright!" Chang Hu said softly, seeing how noisy these people were. Everyone seemed like mice encountering a cat.

Silence fell instantly. Everyone looked at Chang Hu, waiting for his command.

Just like back then, in the command post on the battlefield, a group of generals were waiting for Chang Hu, the commander-in-chief, to give the order to fight.

Immovable as a mountain, yet swift as thunder and lightning!

"How old are you all? Can't you calm down? You're all still so hot-tempered!" Chang Hu said.

"Old Chief, didn't we hear that Xiao Hao was being bullied?"

"We don't bully others, that's our quality. But if someone tries to challenge our quality, then we'll have a lot to say!"

"You guys!" Chang Hu pointed at them helplessly.

"Everyone, calm down. Nothing will happen!" Chang Hu said, then looked at Chang Junhao and said...

"Xiao Hao!"

"Grandpa!" Chang Junhao respectfully squatted down and said to Chang Hu.

"Is everything alright?" Chang Hu asked directly.

"If there are any problems, I'll handle them myself!"

“No problem!” Chang Junhao said.

"Grandpa, tell me, at my current state, what problems could I possibly have!"

"That's good. If there's no problem, don't be afraid. Let them investigate, and they'll give you a certificate in the end!" Chang Hu said.

“I understand, Grandpa. That’s why we’ve sent people over!” Chang Junhao said.

"You brat!" Chang Hu couldn't help but point at his grandson.

"Alright, now that we're here, let's properly mourn your Grandpa Zhao!"

"Sigh, he used to be my student, I never thought he would pass away before me!"

Chang Junhao has settled down here, but Zhong Xiaoai herself feels extremely uncomfortable.

Meanwhile, Secretary Zhong, who was in the distance, had finally finished his meeting. The elders had arranged some things and had already set off.

He can take a short break before he has to get back to work.

However, to his surprise, his assistant delivered a devastating blow.

He now knows about Chang Junhao's situation.

"Is that what Xiao Ai said?" Secretary Zhong asked immediately.

"That's what they said!" the assistant confirmed.

"I understand. Go and prepare the car!" Secretary Zhong waved his hand, telling his assistant to go and make the preparations.

"Yes, Secretary!" With that, he left.

Secretary Zhong himself jogged to his desk, quickly picked up the phone, and started dialing.

Shortly after, the call was answered.

"Yes, Second Elder, it's me. There's nothing to report, but it seems there's been some misunderstanding between my daughter and Secretary Chang!"

"That's Elder Chang's grandson, and he's been taken to Elder Zhao's memorial service!"

"I was thinking, should I go and apologize to Elder Chang?"

"It's also because my daughter was too impatient!"

"Ah, yes, yes, my daughter is still too young and not mature enough in her actions!"

"Once this is over, I'll definitely discipline myself properly!"

"Yes, yes, the leader's criticism is correct, and it's also my fault for not being strict enough in educating them!" Secretary Zhong said here.

"Huh? I don't have to go?"

"Well... shall I pay my respects to Elder Chang after he returns?"

"Okay, I'll follow your orders. I'll pay close attention. Um, I won't be involved in anything in Handong Province anymore!"

"Okay, I understand. I'll take care of it right away!"

"Okay, thank you for your help, boss. I understand, okay!"

After saying this, Secretary Zhong finally put down the phone, walked to his seat, and slumped down on it.

Only when there was a knock at the door did he wipe away the cold sweat, straighten his clothes, and call out to the outside.

"come in!"

"Secretary, the car is ready!" the assistant said to Secretary Zhong as he entered.

"No need, let's leave now. The trip is canceled, and we'll hold a meeting later!" Secretary Zhong said to his assistant, regaining his confident demeanor.

"Yes, Secretary!" The assistant nodded and went out again.

Secretary Zhong, meanwhile, was deep in thought. His daughter alone might not be enough, especially considering this whole affair. Ultimately, it all boiled down to that son-in-law who married into the family—truly a…
