Chapter 861: The Words of the Wind
As Han Kuang stood up and walked into the room, he picked up the receiver and brought it to his ear. A familiar voice immediately sounded from the other end, "Old Han, you're hiding such a big matter from me! That's not right!"
Han Kuang recognized the voice of his superior, Commander Bai. He had a hunch about the reason for the call and replied, "Old Bai, which matter are you referring to? Did you receive any news over there?"
"Come on, don't play dumb with me. As soon as your nephew arrived, the command center received the news and dispatched a team to assist the Central City forces in maintaining vigilance."
Commander Bai feigned displeasure in his tone, "Old Han, you're keeping this so secret and not even giving us a heads-up. Are you planning a surprise attack? That's not good, is it?"
Han Kuang quickly apologized, "I was careless about this matter, causing trouble for the commanders. It's my fault."
Commander Bai chuckled a few times, "Your nephew is no ordinary person. As soon as he arrived in our Southern Mountain Province, half of Central City was in an uproar. I'm representing the command center to make an appearance, and you should come along, Old Han. Don't be shy; you're the senior here, but outside, we must handle official matters officially."
Han Kuang immediately stood at attention and replied loudly, "Yes, I will follow the order."
"Alright, don't be so serious," Commander Bai laughed and added half-jokingly, "You'll have to introduce him to me properly later, right?"
"Of course, of course."
"Okay, my car will be at your place in five minutes. Old Han, get ready, I'll hang up first."
After hanging up the call, Han Kuang felt a surge of complex emotions. He took a moment to compose himself, then turned to his two daughters, "Your cousin, Chen Chuan, is coming. You two, call your mother and your older brother back, I'll go and greet him first."
Han Xiaohuan asked, "Dad, will big brother come back?"
Han Kuang took the clothes passed to him by Lingma, put them on, buttoned them up, and put on his hat. Straightening himself, he said, "Tell him that if he doesn't come back, he shouldn't come back at all." He then picked up his briefcase and strode out.
As soon as he left, Han Xiaohuan quietly asked Nian Qian, "Cousin, you were just talking about Chen Chuan, right? Cousin Chen seems really powerful, I've never seen Dad like that before."
Nian Qian replied, "Your cousin Chen Chuan is not just powerful, but in my opinion, in the entire Daxun, there are few who can match him at his age." As he spoke, a sense of pride was evident in his tone.
Hearing this, the Han sisters' eyes sparkled with excitement. Han Xiaojing exclaimed, "Is Cousin Chen Chuan coming to our house soon? Let's go, sister, let's call him!"
"Okay, I'll call big brother upstairs, and you call Mom."
"Okay, sister."
The two sisters made their calls. Han Xiaojing's call went smoothly as Yu Jie, accompanied by Yu Wan and Nian Fuli, was shopping in Central City with a duty officer, so they just needed to find the intermediary and contact them using the Domain Token.
However, Han Xiaohuan faced some difficulty as her older brother's residence was constantly changing, and no one knew where he was at this moment. So, she had to think of ways to contact him.
As Han Kuang stepped outside, he pondered how to approach his nephew. He remembered the last time he saw him, which was many years ago, perhaps sixteen or seventeen years. But back then, his nephew was just a toddler, and he barely remembered him.
As he reached the intersection, he saw the staff car already parked there, with Commander Bai and another handsome, slightly younger officer standing together.
He recognized this man—Fan, the son-in-law of Deputy Commander Liu and a handsome staff officer.
Seeing Han Kuang approach, Commander Bai pointed at him and smiled, "Old Han, you never mentioned your nephew, and you've been keeping him hidden all this time?"
Han Kuang replied, "To be honest, my nephew lives in Jinbei Province, and it's not easy to visit him often. I don't want to disturb them unless it's necessary, and it's not like it's been that long since we last met, has it?"
"Alright, alright, I was just joking. I'm not blaming you, Old Han. Come, get in the car." Commander Bai then turned to the handsome officer, "Fan, you sit in front, and I'll sit with Old Han."
Staff Officer Fan smiled and saluted the two of them before walking over to open the rear door for them.
As Han Kuang entered the car and the officer closed the door for him, he felt a sudden rush of inexplicable satisfaction.
The car slowly started and headed towards the main road. He soon noticed that the entire road was on high alert, with a sentry at every interval and patrol cars passing by from time to time. He couldn't help but say, "This is..."
Commander Bai explained, "The Central City Defense Bureau has also dispatched personnel. It's not just for show; they're worried about potential trouble. Recently, resistance organizations have been causing a lot of trouble. If someone takes advantage of the situation, it won't just be embarrassing for the Southern Mountain Province; they're afraid of angering your nephew. You know how fighters can be; they have their temperaments."
Han Kuang nodded in understanding. The resistance organizations within the city had become increasingly rampant. If they were to clash with an outsider fighter, it would cause a huge commotion, possibly even reaching the national level. No wonder the higher-ups were taking this so seriously, deploying such a large force.
At that very moment, in a residential building near the main commercial district of Central City, Han Cheng was walking around in his sleepwear while communicating with someone through the Domain Token.
"Hey, what's going on? We agreed to deliver the goods into the city before noon today. Why haven't you left yet?"
He was a bit annoyed. All the arrangements for this matter had been made, and the identities of the delivery personnel were all set. They just needed to bring the goods into the city, but now this was happening.
A voice came from the other side of the Domain Token, "Mr. Han, sorry. It's not that we don't want to deliver the goods, but today's situation is a bit special."
"What situation?"
There was a moment of silence from the other side, "Did you just wake up? Take a look outside."
Han Cheng was a bit surprised. He walked to the window, drew the curtains, and glanced outside. Under the colorful neon lights, city patrol vehicles were speeding out, and armed airships were flying overhead.
He couldn't help but freeze for a moment.
The voice from the other side continued, "Mr. Han, the brothers received some information. A VIP might be arriving today, and all checkpoints are under martial law. We contacted the checkpoint managers inside, and they said that the Security Bureau had temporarily dispatched personnel. It's said that the Processing Bureau also sent an investigation supervisor, who is blocking the border checkpoint. So, today's situation is not due to our lack of effort; it's genuinely impossible."
Han Cheng took a few glances and pondered, "There's only one direction under martial law. I'll arrange a proper pass for you. Try to get around the city through other checkpoints."
The person on the other side of the Domain Token said, "Mr. Han, we've considered this idea. You know that some of the brothers have issues. Even if you arrange their identities, the risk of entering the city is genuinely too high. But, Mr. Han, if you insist, we can give it a try."
Han Cheng hesitated, but at that moment, a burst of chaotic sounds and voices suddenly came from the Domain Token. He immediately asked, "Old Fan, what's going on?"
A slightly tense voice came from the other side, "Mr. Han, a team of inspectors has surrounded us. Should we..."
In the 1619 book, there's no mistake!
Han Cheng was startled and immediately instructed, "Don't resist at all. Do whatever they ask, and I'll figure out the rest!"
After hanging up, he cursed and immediately started contacting people he knew, trying to resolve the issue. However, something was amiss, as people he usually had close dealings with were now either avoiding him or outright claiming helplessness. Only one person reminded him, "Mr. Han, today's an unfortunate coincidence. The Defense Bureau, Processing Bureau, and the military have issued orders today. All major passages in and out of Central City are under martial law, and all private activities are prohibited. Unless you can find the Minister of Government Affairs, Director Li, or Commander Zhao to open a loophole for you, I advise you to be honest today."
Han Cheng thanked him and cursed silently. He had invested a lot in this matter, and if this attempt failed, the loss would be minor compared to the damage to the company's reputation.
He rubbed his head, thinking of a solution. Suddenly, the phone on the desk rang, and he frowned, picked it up, and said, "Hello? Who is it?"
"Brother, it's me."
"Oh, Xiaohuan." Han Cheng had something on his mind and was a bit impatient. He said, "What's the matter? Is Mom asking me to come back?"
"Brother, Dad said that you must come back today, or else don't come back at all. Dad is serious this time."
Han Cheng was startled and sighed, "Alright, alright, I'll make a trip back."
"Brother, then hurry."
After hanging up, Han Cheng's heart stirred. Did the old man know something? Perhaps...
He quickly put on his pants and grabbed a piece of clothing before rushing out the door.
The Headquarters Division's vehicle drove towards the Anchor Tower in the industrial zone. Upon arrival, they saw a massive airship hovering at the top of the tall tower.
Commander Bai said, "The National Martial Council's airship has arrived. Let's go." The three of them gazed at the enormous airship, feeling a sense of profound power emanating from it.
The car stopped in front of the tower, and the three of them got out. Below, numerous armed vehicles were parked, along with over a hundred implanted armed personnel from Central City's Defense Bureau, controlling the entire area.
Commander Bai said, "Director Li must have received the news and came. Let's go."
As the three approached the base of the Anchor Tower, Han Cheng looked up and saw a tall, slender young man walking out of the airship.
The young man's eyes seemed to hold a glimmer, and even though he was dressed casually, when his gaze unintentionally fell, it made Han Cheng's breath catch unconsciously. Not only him, but Commander Bai and Commander Fan also paused involuntarily.
In contrast, the other young man who exited the Anchor Tower with them was easily overlooked.
The two of them descended from the Anchor Tower, conversing along the way. When they reached Han Cheng and the others, Han Cheng saw the young man looking at him, and his heart couldn't help but tighten. Then, the young man smiled at him and said, "Elder Uncle, Happy New Year."
