Special Assistant Yang took the order signed by General Ji and Speaker Long from Huo Shaoheng's hands and read it carefully.
It was indeed Speaker Long's personal signature, seal, and even fingerprints …
There was no way to fake it.
Special Assistant Yang pursed his lips and returned the order to Huo Shaoheng. "Major General Huo, do you have any other orders?"
"I just want to know why there was such violence in the Senate." Huo Shaoheng glanced at Gu Nianzhi. "Do you know who those people were? Is the threshold for the Senate so low? What kind of mediocre person can join in? "
"Major General Huo, they were … spokespeople from the Office of the Prime Minister." Special Assistant Yang felt inexplicably nervous. He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and said, "Actually, what happened today was really a misunderstanding. Major General Huo, this order says that you are maintaining order for the interim election. It doesn't include the Senate building, right? "
Huo Shaoheng glanced at him. "What does the interim election have to do with the Senate building?"
Special Assistant Yang was stunned and instinctively repeated, "What does the interim election have to do with the Senate building?"
"Special Assistant Yang, our Chief is asking you a question. Do you know how to answer?" Huo Shaoheng's head orderly, Fan Jian, couldn't stand it anymore.
Special Assistant Yang would have died a long time ago if he was in the army if he dilly-dallied like this. How could he be a special assistant here?!
Special Assistant Yang blushed but didn't stoop to the level of a soldier. He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses again and forced himself to be calm. "The Senate will host the interim election. The Senate building will be … the headquarters for the interim election."
"It's already the headquarters for the interim election. You're telling everyone that maintaining order for the interim election doesn't include the Senate building?" Gu Nianzhi covered her face. "Special Assistant Yang, why don't you ask Speaker Long what's going on? Major General Huo and the others are following orders. Are you going to stop them? "
Special Assistant Yang pursed his lips and said quietly, "Gu Nianzhi, I know you have a close relationship with Major General Huo."
"Stop!" The last thing Gu Nianzhi wanted to hear was people viewing her hard work as a bonus for Huo Shaoheng. "Special Assistant Yang, this is the Senate, not a place for gossip. You have to look at the almanac if you want to spread rumors. Today isn't a good day for rumors or you'll be arrested."
Huo Shaoheng finally understood how Gu Nianzhi felt and understood why she was against marrying him.
Although he didn't mind being Gu Nianzhi's backer, Special Assistant Yang's words didn't sound right.
Huo Shaoheng raised his chin slightly and said nonchalantly, "Special Assistant Yang, you said that Gu Nianzhi had a close relationship with me, but in the end, she was beaten up to this state in your Senate building, right under your nose. If she had nothing to do with me, would she have been beaten to death by now? "
Moreover, Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi's relationship wasn't a secret. The upper echelons of the Empire all knew that Huo Shaoheng was Gu Nianzhi's guardian. Gu Nianzhi had grown up with Huo Shaoheng since she was 12 years old, and they had even dated. However, they had broken up a few months ago.
Executive Assistant Yang was stunned. He smiled awkwardly and said, "How can that be? Major General Huo must be joking. "
"Joking? I never joke when I'm on a mission. " Huo Shaoheng's expression darkened. "Special Assistant Yang, Miss Gu was personally invited by Speaker Long to be an intern in the Senate. Didn't Speaker Long tell you?"
Special Assistant Yang was about to retort, but he suddenly realized that no matter how he answered, it would be a trap!
If he said that Speaker Long had told him, then his treatment of Gu Nianzhi would be overtly complying but covertly opposing and intentionally making things difficult for her …
If he said that Speaker Long hadn't told him, then it would be even more outrageous. It would mean that Speaker Long no longer trusted him. How would he be able to face his colleagues then?!
So whether he said that he had or not, he had fallen into Huo Shaoheng's trap!
How come he never knew that this taciturn Major General Huo, who was said to be better at fighting than he was at thinking, could actually choke someone to death with just one sentence …
Executive Assistant Yang closed his eyes with an uncomfortable look on his face.
Gu Nianzhi hissed beside him. Her face was burning and painful.
Speaker Long rushed over at that moment. As soon as he saw Huo Shaoheng, he quickly said, "Shaoheng, you're here. I just received a call from General Ji. You're finally here!"
Speaker Long had asked General Ji for help because the Office of the Prime Minister had been sending people to harass them for the past two days.
He was worried that the members of the Senate would be impulsive and fall into the trap of the Office of the Prime Minister.
If there really was a big news story of "the Senate and the Office of the Prime Minister fighting," their interim election would inevitably become a laughing stock and a child's play.
So he decided to leave the professional matters to the professionals.
Didn't the Office of the Prime Minister want to cause trouble and make big news?
He found them the best natural enemy to deal with these unreasonable cultured people.
As the saying goes, when a scholar meets a soldier, he can't reason with them.
He would also let them have a taste of what it was like to suffer in silence.
General Ji didn't hesitate and directly asked Huo Shaoheng to bring people to the Senate to deploy troops to maintain order.
Of course, regular soldiers on duty were more powerful than police officers and security guards.
Those lawless people dared to go against the city management, dared to attack police officers and beat up security guards, but no one dared to go against the army.
Even if they had a death wish, they wouldn't cause trouble for the army.
Huo Shaoheng shook hands with Speaker Long and looked in Gu Nianzhi's direction with a relaxed expression. "Speaker Long is still farsighted. Those people really can't be dealt with by ordinary people. But we were still a step too late. Some of your subordinates have already been beaten by them. "
Speaker Long was furious. "Who?! Who dares to beat up my people?! "
He turned around and looked around. Finally, his eyes stopped on Gu Nianzhi's face, which was covered by her long hair.
"Nianzhi?! Your face … Was it beaten?! "
The right side of her face was swollen like a small bun. It was red and looked a bit scary.
Gu Nianzhi nodded and said pitifully, "Speaker Long, I didn't know that working in the Senate included being beaten and scolded. I think you think too highly of me. I can't take this kind of filthy air. "
"What do you mean by being beaten and scolded?! Nianzhi, don't worry. You were beaten, and I will definitely seek justice for you! What a joke! You beat up my people and want to get away with it?! I'll write the word 'dragon' upside down! "
Speaker Long looked at Huo Shaoheng angrily. "Major General Huo, who beat up Nianzhi just now? Did you see it?"
"I didn't see who did it with my own eyes, but someone accused me of it." Huo Shaoheng looked at the two people squatting on the ground and said slowly, "There were originally three of them. I've already sent the one who beat up Nianzhi to the police station. The remaining two are suspected of causing trouble and disrupting the order of the interim election. According to the regulations, they must be punished severely and quickly. Speaker Long, what do you think? "
