Starting from Handong, in the name of Xiao Hao!

"Hello, Commander!" Zhao Mengsheng answered the phone directly and greeted him.

"Meng Sheng, I already know what you've been doing over there!" A somewhat aged voice came from inside; it was their commander.

"So, what does the commander mean...?" Zhao Mengsheng asked.

"We are aware of your relationship with them, and we know the specifics!"

"This matter isn't just something I know about; some of the senior leaders in Beijing also know about it now!"

"Huh?" Zhao Mengsheng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the news had reached the ears of the old leaders so quickly.

I wonder what those former leaders themselves are thinking.

"Then what about me..." Zhao Mengsheng himself was a little nervous.

He was certainly familiar with the people the commander was referring to as his "old leaders."

Those were all his father's generation of elders, and they are all still alive.

Although everyone has retired, who really cares whether these people are still in their positions?

Those people are different from the current cadres. Even if they have retired, as long as they are still alive, they are a force to be reckoned with.

Their students and former subordinates, their comrades-in-arms, their descendants...

Moreover, it was precisely because of these predecessors that their country was able to stand up for itself back then.

Although they are currently retired, it would be truly... a real problem if someone ignored them.

"Hmph, what kind of personalities do you think the old leaders are?" Upon hearing this, the commander immediately rebuked him.

"Especially Vice President Li..."

"Huh? Uncle Li?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Mengsheng was surprised again.

Zhao Mengsheng was extremely familiar with Uncle Li; back in the war, Uncle Li had served as his father's subordinate for a period of time.

Whether it was his father or other leaders, they all valued Uncle Li highly.

Especially Chang Junhao's grandfather, that old man, who used to be Uncle Li's old comrade-in-arms.

Later, they promoted Uncle Li step by step, although Uncle Li's temper did become a little more restrained later on.

But what's in their bones has never changed.

Moreover, Zhao Mengsheng had heard that this Uncle Li had encountered a surprise attack by the Japanese when he had just gotten married.

Because of Grandpa Chang Hu, they didn't suffer any losses. However, it seems that those Japanese soldiers were originally a special forces team.

On their way back, they arrested Uncle Li's brother-in-law. Enraged, Uncle Li led all his men on a grand attack on the county town.

At that time, it seemed that the entire war zone was in complete chaos. Could such a dynamic and energetic old general be expected to suffer losses?

"That's right, it was the old commander; this time he even slammed his fist on the table in fury!"

"They said if they ran into these people, they'd just kill those bastards one by one!"

"The old commander hates these kinds of things the most, and he even said he's in charge. You handled this well, and no one else can interfere!"

"So just go ahead and do it without worry. I called you this time to put your mind at ease!"

"We military personnel don't talk much, but we're not mute or cowards!"

"You can't just bully anyone you want!"

"Don't worry, old commander, I understand!" Zhao Mengsheng was finally relieved.

"Okay, good to know. Go do it. We old guys are still holding things up!"

"I know Liang Sanxi well. His family must not be bullied!"

"Yes, Commander!"

"Okay!" With that, Zhao Mengsheng's call was disconnected.

With this phone call, Zhao Mengsheng is out of trouble, and some people really do need to give the military an explanation.

If it were just a matter involving a few people, then what Zhao Mengsheng did would be taboo, but the military personnel were all unhappy about it.

Then we need to give the military an explanation and appease them.

Meanwhile, Gao Yuliang and the others were still looking at Zhao Mengsheng. They knew from Zhao Mengsheng's address that someone from the military had called him.

But they didn't know the specifics, but they figured it was probably just persuasion.

Only then did he look at Zhao Mengsheng expectantly, hoping that Zhao Mengsheng would order them to return.

But no matter how long they waited, Zhao Mengsheng never issued such an order.

"This..." Gao Yuliang was about to say something when a sudden phone ring interrupted him.

"Huh?" Gao Yuliang thought it was the general's phone ringing again.

Unexpectedly, it was Chang Junhao who called.

When Chang Junhao picked up the phone, he found it was an unfamiliar number. He hung up casually, but it rang again unexpectedly.

“This…” Chang Junhao glanced at Zhao Mengsheng.

"Answer it, it's probably someone looking for you!" Zhao Mengsheng said, looking at the person.

Gao Yuliang and Li Dakang didn't say anything at this time.

"Okay!" Chang Junhao said, and the call was finally connected.

"Hey!" A lively voice came from inside, and even though it was old, it was still full of energy.

Moreover, his tone sounds like that of a cunning old fox from the countryside.

“I am Chang Junhao!” Chang Junhao said.

“I know it’s you, kid, Xiao Hao. I’m your Grandpa Li!” the guy on the other end said directly.

"Grandpa Li?" Chang Junhao also heard the voice, which was very familiar, and with that tone, it was undoubtedly that somewhat arrogant guy.

"Hey, Xiao Hao, I heard you're from Luzhou City?"

"Yes! And I'm with Uncle Zhao right now!" Chang Junhao said cautiously.

"Oh, it's Zhao!"

"We understand. How was this matter handled? Did Zhao do anything?" Grandpa Li across from him continued to ask.

"After interrogating them, those involved here were killed!" Chang Junhao said calmly, without any emotional fluctuation.

"Yes, good for them! If we were here, we'd kill someone too!" Grandpa Li said.

"Okay, but you're still over there, so it's not appropriate for you to get involved in this matter!"

“Grandpa Li, what are you saying? Although I live here, I know exactly where my roots are!” Chang Junhao said.

"Hahaha, good lad, you've got guts! Alright, give the phone to Zhao, I have a few words to say to you!" Grandpa Li laughed.

"Yes!" Chang Junhao said, handing his phone to Zhao Mengsheng beside him.

"Uncle Zhao, it's Grandpa Li. He wants to talk to you!"

"Okay!" Zhao Mengsheng said, answering the phone.

"Uncle Li? How are you doing!"

"Give me a break, I'm perfectly healthy!" Uncle Li, Grandpa Li, said directly from the other side.

Chang Junhao stopped listening to what happened next and went to Gao Yuliang's side.

Gao Yuliang gave Chang Junhao a meaningful look. How are you going to argue now?

And you even found a benefactor?

Your benefactor is quite remarkable. A lieutenant general who doesn't even give face to a provincial party secretary is so respectful to someone on the phone. You're really something else.

Li Dakang was also looking at Chang Junhao in front of him, his eyes flickering, seemingly lost in thought.

Zhao Mengsheng had finished making his calls when the executioners returned.

Most of the people who needed to be killed have already been killed.

"Xiao Hao!" Zhao Mengsheng walked over and said to Chang Junhao.

"Hey!"

“Secretary Gao, right?” Zhao Mengsheng had noticed before that Chang Junhao was closer to Secretary Gao in front of him.

Moreover, the municipal party secretary is also the leader here, and people will talk to him about things.

"Hello, Comrade Commander!" Gao Yuliang stepped forward and shook hands...
