This kid has a lot of guts.

He actually brought Qu Xiangru directly back home.

My words were just ignored by him.

"Buy me a leg?"

Song Guanchao squinted and laughed: "In consideration of Qu Xiangru, I'll give you a chance to reorganize your words."

The middle-aged man also squinted his eyes, and a dangerous signal flashed in them.

Those familiar with him would know that he was enraged at this moment.

The middle-aged man flicked away the cigarette butt, which landed in the snow by the roadside with a sizzle.

He took out his phone and dialed a number in front of Song Guanchao.

But just then, an Audi sedan turned in from the town and headed towards the village.

Beep beep.

The car honked.

The middle-aged man was about to turn around and curse, but when he saw the license plate on the Audi, his anger instantly disappeared.

This is a military vehicle!

Moreover, it's not just any military vehicle!

The driver got out of the car, smiling warmly: "Please move aside."

The middle-aged man forced a smile: "Sorry, please wait a moment."

Even though the middle-aged man was not an insider, he was familiar with the system.

The plate starts with Beijing, indicating it's a military vehicle from the Beijing Military Region!

The first letter is 'V,' representing the Military Committee, the four main departments, and district-level direct military units.

The second letter is 'A,' representing the Headquarters!

Beijing VA, which means this car is from the Beijing Military Committee, or even possibly from the General Staff!

Those who don't understand would just see this car as an old model Audi A6.

Those who understand the importance of the license plate know the high status of the person sitting in this car.

Not even he, nor the Jiang Family behind him, would dare provoke them easily.

He hurriedly got into the car and moved it to the roadside.

Song Guanchao also didn't want their conflict to affect others and moved his car aside.

After moving the cars, the driver came up and handed them a pack of cigarettes: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." The middle-aged man smiled throughout, not daring to show any dissatisfaction.

The driver got back into the car, and as the car passed by Song Guanchao, it suddenly stopped.

The rear window was slowly lowered, and an elderly man wearing a Zhongshan suit looked at Song Guanchao with a hint of recollection: "Young man, are you from Zhuxi Village?"

"Yes."

"I have some impression."

The elderly man nodded and raised the window again.

The car drove away.

However, after hearing this, the middle-aged man was shocked.

This elderly man in the car actually has an impression of Song Guanchao?

He speculated that this elderly man should have relatives in the village.

This relationship is likely quite special.

Otherwise, why else would he personally drive over from Beijing on New Year's Day?

And the village has always been small; almost every household knows each other.

The fact that this elderly man has an impression of Song Guanchao shows that there may be some interaction between the young man and the old man's relatives.

The middle-aged man's expression changed.

Initially, he wanted to find someone to deal with Song Guanchao.

But now, he was a bit hesitant.

If this leads to trouble with this big shot from the Military District, it would be quite disadvantageous.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man decided to wait.

At least, wait until this big shot leaves Zhuxi Village.

With this big shot's status, he would only stay for a day at most.

After the big shot leaves, deal with this kid!

The middle-aged man said: "Kid, it's the New Year, I don't want to see blood. I'll let you stay peaceful for a few days."

After throwing out these words, the middle-aged man got into his car and left.

Song Guanchao heard this and was puzzled.

He was all ready to make a call for backup.

But in the end, this guy threw out a threatening line and fled?

What was that supposed to mean?

"Idiot."

Song Guanchao chuckled, drove home.

When he got home, he found that the military vehicle from earlier was stopped at a flat spot in the village.

Upon entering the house, he discovered that the elderly man from the car was actually sitting on his family's sofa, smoking and drinking tea with his grandfather.

Song Guanchao suddenly understood that this was a New Year's visit for his grandfather.

He had been in the army for the past few years and hadn't had time to return home for New Year's.

But he remembered that every New Year, a group of people from outside would come to visit his grandfather.

At the time, he thought they were grandpa's comrades.

But he saw the license plate earlier.

It seemed that when grandpa was in the army, he was quite a figure.

Even a big shot from the General Staff came to visit him personally.

When he entered, grandpa called him over: "Little Chizi, this is my grandson, Song Guanchao."

"Guanchao, come, wish Grandpa Chi a Happy New Year. He has prepared a gift money."

The elderly man saw Song Guanchao and also looked surprised: "It's you, boy. I knew you looked familiar."

Grandpa said, "Your memory isn't what it used to be. You come every year, see him every year. Just didn't see him for a few years, and you forgot?"

Mr. Chi smiled awkwardly and sighed: "I'm getting old, forgetful."

Song Guanchao stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Grandpa Chi, Happy New Year."

"Oh, good, good, Happy New Year. Here, this is your Grandpa's gift money."

Mr. Chi smiled kindly, handing over a red envelope, and gave Qu Xiangru a thoughtful glance.

Seeming to inquire about whose girl she was.

Then, grandma walked in, glanced at Mr. Chi, and said calmly: "When did you arrive?"

Facing grandma, Mr. Chi stood up straight: "Sister-in-law."

This attitude, surprisingly, showed a bit of fear.

It left Song Guanchao a bit stunned.

Can grandma be so mighty?

Even a big shot from the General Staff has this attitude?

"Alright, sit down."

Grandma brought over some fruits and nuts: "Eat."

"Yes." Mr. Chi sat upright and even carefully threw the husks into the trash, not daring to mess around.

The guard cum driver nearby was also shocked.

Who exactly is this family?

How can they make Mr. Chi act so respectfully?

"Xiao Ru, come." Grandma beckoned.

Qu Xiangru walked over, obedient like a granddaughter-in-law.

Grandma held her hand and pointed to Mr. Chi: "This is Grandpa Chi."

Qu Xiangru sweetly called out: "Grandpa Chi, Happy New Year."

Having keen insights, Mr. Chi quickly took out another red envelope: "Happy New Year to you too, here's gift money."

Qu Xiangru glanced at Grandma, and Grandma patted her hand: "Take it."

Qu Xiangru accepted it: "Thank you, Grandpa Chi."

Grandma said, "Alright, Guanchao, take Xiao Ru outside for a walk. We'll have lunch soon."

"Got it."

Upon leaving the house, Qu Xiangru couldn't help asking: "Who is Grandpa Chi?"

She felt a very unusual aura from Mr. Chi.

This aura was something even the Old Lady of Jiang hadn't made her feel.

"A soldier." Song Guanchao said: "Seems to be my grandpa's comrade-in-arms."

"Oh."

That explains it.

She presumed that Mr. Chi was at least a Colonel.

And likely a veteran who had fought in past battles.

No wonder he had such an unyielding spirit, even she felt a bit intimidated.

"I'll be leaving after lunch."

"Going so soon?"

"Yes, the road is a bit long."

"Where to?"

Qu Xiangru shook her head: "Just drop me off at the City Committee."

Meanwhile.

Provincial City, Jiang Mansion.

The Jiang Family members are all here.

Today, Lu Family members are here as guests to meet Qu Xiangru and discuss the wedding arrangements.

At ten o'clock, the Lu Family arrived.

But Qu Xiangru is still nowhere to be seen.

The Old Lady looked around and called over the third son, Jiang Xiuwen: "Find out where Xiangru is now."
