Chapter 861: The Wind Moves Before the Voice

Han Kuang got up and went into the house. He picked up the phone and put it to his ear. Then he heard a familiar voice saying, "Old Han, it's not fair of you to hide such a big thing from me!"

Han Kuang recognized that it was his superior, Chief of Staff Bai. He was moved and roughly guessed why the latter called. He said, "Old Bai, what are you talking about? Have you received any news?"

"You, don't play dumb with me. As soon as your nephew arrived, the headquarters received the news and sent a team of people to help the troops in the central city maintain vigilance."

Chief of Staff Bai pretended to be unhappy and said, "Old Han, you are hiding so deep and didn't even give us a heads up. You want to launch a surprise attack? Isn't that bad?"

Han Kuang quickly apologized, "I was negligent in considering this matter and caused trouble to the superiors. I am wrong."

Chief of Staff Bai laughed a few times, "Your nephew is incredible. As soon as he arrived in our Shannan Road, half of the central city was alarmed. I am now going to show up on behalf of the headquarters. Old Han, you should come with us. Don't be embarrassed. You are the elder at home, but you must handle official business outside."

Han Kuang immediately stood at attention and said loudly, "Yes, I obey your order."

"Okay, don't be so serious," Chief of Staff Bai laughed and said half-jokingly, "You have to introduce me to someone when the time comes, right?"

"sure."

"Okay, my car will be there in five minutes. Old Han, get ready. I'm hanging up first."

Han Kuang hung up the phone, with a complex emotion rising in his heart. After calming down, he turned around and said to his two daughters: "Your cousin Chen Chuan is here. You two, call your mother and your eldest brother back. I will go to greet him first."

Han Xiaohuan said: "Dad, is big brother willing to come back?"

Han Kuang took the clothes handed to him by Ling's mother, put them on, buttoned them up, put on his hat, straightened it and said, "Tell him that if he doesn't come back, don't come back." Then he picked up the briefcase and strode out.

As soon as he left, Han Xiaohuan quietly asked Nian Qian, "Cousin, you were talking about cousin Chen Chuan, right? Cousin Chen seems to be very powerful. I have never seen dad like that."

Nian Qian said: "Your cousin Chen Chuan is more than just amazing. Well, in my opinion, there are few people in the entire Dashun who can compare with him at his age." As he spoke, there was a sense of pride in his tone that was hard to conceal.

The two sisters of the Han family were surprised and their eyes sparkled when they heard him say that. They were full of anticipation. Han Xiaojing said excitedly, "Cousin Chen Chuan will come to our house soon, right? Sister, let's go and make a phone call!"

"Okay, I'll go upstairs and call big brother. Xiaojing, you call mom."

"Okay, sister."

The two sisters made separate phone calls. Han Xiaojing's side was relatively smooth because Yu Jie took Yu Wan and Nian Fuli to the central city for shopping, and they were accompanied by a service attendant, so all they had to do was find the middleman and use the boundary pass to contact them.

Han Xiaohuan was in a bit of a difficult situation because her eldest brother's residence was uncertain and no one knew where he was at the moment, so she could only find ways to contact people one by one.

After Han Kuang walked outside, he was thinking about how to contact this nephew. He remembered that the last time he saw him was a long time ago, about 16 or 17 years ago? But at that time, this nephew was only a few years old, so he didn't have much impression.

At this time, he walked to the intersection and saw that the staff car was already parked there. Staff Officer Bai and another slightly younger and handsome officer were standing together.

He recognized this man, the second son of the Fan family, the son-in-law of Deputy Commander Liu, a young and talented member of the General Staff.

When Chief of Staff Bai saw him coming over, he pointed at him and said with a smile, "Old Han, you, you, I never hear you talk about it normally. Are you hiding your nephew from others?"

Han Kuang said, "To be honest, my nephew lives in Jibei Road. It is not easy to travel here. I don't bother him unless it's something important. I haven't seen him for a long time."

"Okay, okay, I was just joking. I don't mean to blame you, Old Han. Come on, get in the car." Chief of Staff Bai said to the handsome officer next to him, "Xiao Fan, you sit in the front. Old Han and I will sit in the back."

Staff Officer Fan smiled, saluted the two men, then walked over and took the initiative to open the back door for them.

When Han Kuang got in, he saw the other party close the car door for him. For some reason, he suddenly felt an indescribable sense of relief in his heart.

The car started slowly and drove towards the main road. He soon saw that the road was guarded. There was a police post every few blocks and a patrol car passed by from time to time. He couldn't help but say, "This is..."

Chief of Staff Bai said, "The Defense Department has also sent people to arrange for the central city. It's not for show, but because we're afraid someone will cause trouble. The resistance organization has been making a lot of noise recently. If someone takes the opportunity to cause trouble, it will be a small matter for Shannan Province to lose face. We're just afraid of angering your nephew. Fighters all have tempers."

Han Kuang understood and nodded. Recently, the resistance organizations in the city have been rampant. If they go up there to cause some trouble and get into a conflict with a foreign fighter, that would be a lot of trouble. Maybe even the national level would be alarmed. No wonder the higher-ups take it so seriously and make such a fuss.

At this moment, in a private house near the main commercial district in the central city, Han Cheng was walking around the room in his pajamas while talking to the person on the other side of the street.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? We agreed to deliver the cargo to the city before noon today. Why haven't you left yet?"

He was a little annoyed. The links for this matter had been arranged long ago, and the identities of the delivery personnel had been arranged. All he had to do was deliver the goods into the city, but now he had to do this. A voice came from the other side of the world, saying, "Mr. Han, I'm sorry. It's not that we don't want to deliver the goods, but the situation today is a bit special."

"what's the situation?"

Jie Pingli was silent for a while, "You just got up? Take a look outside."

Han Cheng was a little surprised. He walked to the window, opened the curtains and looked outside. Under the colorful neon lights, city patrol cars were driving quickly outside, and there were also armed airships flying in the sky.

He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Jie Pingli said, "Mr. Han, the brothers have received some news that a big shot may be coming today. All checkpoints are now under martial law. We contacted the inspection administrator inside and he said that the Security Department has temporarily sent people to station there. It is said that an investigation supervisor from the Processing Bureau has also come and is blocking the checkpoint. So it's not that we didn't try our best, but we really can't complete this task today."

Han Cheng took a few glances and pondered for a moment: "There is only one direction for martial law. I have arranged a formal pass for you. Try to go around to the city from other checkpoints."

The person on the other side of Jie Ping said, "Mr. Han, we have thought about this method. You know that some of our brothers have problems. Even if you arrange an identity for them, the risk of entering the city now is too great. But if you insist, Mr. Han, we can give it a try."

Han Cheng hesitated for a moment, but at this moment, a flurry of noise and voices suddenly came from the world. He immediately asked, "Lao Feng, what's the matter?"

A slightly nervous voice came from the interface: "Mr. Han, a team of inspectors has surrounded us. Should we..."

Han Cheng was shocked and immediately said, "Don't resist. Just do whatever they tell you to do. I'll take care of the rest!"

After the conversation ended here, he cursed and immediately started to contact people he knew to try to solve the problem. But for some reason, the people he usually had close contact with were either avoiding him or simply saying they were powerless. Only one person reminded him:
"Brother Han, you are really unlucky today. The Defense Department, the Management Bureau, and the army have issued an order today. All major roads in and outside the central city are under martial law. All private activities are not allowed. Unless you find the Minister of Political Affairs, Director Li, or Commander Zhao, they may be able to give you an excuse. I advise you to be honest today."

After Han Cheng thanked him, he cursed in his heart. He had invested a lot of money in this matter, and if it failed this time, the losses would be a small matter. The key point was that the company's reputation would plummet.

He hammered his head and was thinking of a solution when the phone on the table suddenly rang. He frowned and went to pick up the phone. "Hello, who is this?"

"Brother, it's me."

"Oh, Xiao Huan." Han Cheng was a little impatient and said, "What's the matter? Did mom ask you to call me back again? Tell her I have something important to do."

"No, brother, Dad said that you have to come back today, otherwise you will never come back again. Brother, Dad is serious this time."

When Han Cheng heard this, he felt a little scared and sighed, "Okay, okay, I'll come back right away."

"Brother, hurry up then."

After Han Cheng put down the phone, he was moved. The old man seemed to know something. Maybe...

He quickly changed into his pants, grabbed some clothes and rushed out the door.

The General Staff's car drove all the way to the mooring tower in the industrial area. When they arrived here, they saw a huge airship floating on the top of the tall tower.

Chief of Staff Bai said: "The National Fighting Council's dispatched airship." The three people stared at the huge boat and could feel a strong sense of power from it.

After the car drove up to the tower and stopped, the three of them got out together. There were many armed vehicles parked below, as well as hundreds of armed personnel with implants from the Central City Defense Department, who had set up control of the surroundings.

Chief of Staff Bai said, "Director Li came here after hearing the news. Let's go over there."

When the three of them walked under the mooring tower, Han Kuang looked up and saw a tall and upright young man walking out of the airship.

There seemed to be a light in the young man's eyes. Although he was wearing casual clothes, when his gaze inadvertently fell down, it made his breathing unconsciously stagnate. Not only him, but Chief of Staff Bai and Staff Officer Fan also paused involuntarily.

In comparison, the other Director Li who came out with this young man is easily overlooked.

The two of them walked down from the mooring tower, talking to each other all the way, until they came in front of Han Kuang and the others. Han Kuang saw the young man looking at him, and he couldn't help but get nervous. Then he saw the young man smiled at him and said, "Happy New Year, uncle."
