"That's right! That's why I called you immediately! " The person on the other end of the line was Zhang Feng's younger brother, Zhang Cheng. His daughter had married the heir of a large company and was working with them in the military supply business. "Your niece-in-law is waiting for news at my house. We've already bought tickets for tonight at a high price to come look for you."
"Tell me in detail, what's going on!" Zhang Feng took a few deep breaths and leaned against the wall of Grandfather Huo's bedroom on the second floor. She gradually calmed down. "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. How did you know the bank would freeze their accounts?"
"How else could I know? They're such a large company, how could they not have one or two people in the bank? They said they just received the news and immediately called their in-laws. You know, we're preparing to start transferring money tomorrow. With this, how are we going to transfer money?! "
Zhang Feng's younger brother, Zhang Cheng, was almost 60. He didn't take care of his health and was in poor health. He panted heavily when he was anxious.
Zhang Feng's heart ached when she heard this. "Don't panic. It's not a big deal, why are you so anxious? What's there to be afraid of being frozen? Just you wait, I'll show them how to freeze it, and then they'll beg me to release it! "
Zhang Cheng was taken aback. His older sister was quite arrogant …
"Sis, you're that confident?" He asked tentatively. "… Will the Chief back us up?"
"Stop calling him Chief, you should be calling him brother-in-law …" Zhang Feng covered her phone and laughed softly. She immediately reminded her brother. "Don't tell anyone. After we get married, I'll bring your brother-in-law back to our hometown. Even if the bank freezes my accounts, he'll have to release it for me."
"Huh? The Chief is marrying you?! Really?! " Zhang Cheng, who had been upset by today's news, was suddenly overjoyed. "Don't try to fool me. This is not an ordinary thing. When you get your marriage certificate, our parents will be able to hold their heads high."
"Pfft! You make it sound like they haven't been able to hold their heads high! "Zhang Feng laughed.
The truth was, ever since Huo Guanyuan had died 16 years ago, Zhang Feng had taken the opportunity to tell Grandfather Huo about her son, Zhang Baochen. The Zhang family had been able to hold their heads high.
Initially, it was to help Zhang Feng raise an illegitimate child, but later on, he realized that the illegitimate child's background was too powerful. Using the smallest investment to get the biggest return.
"Sis, that's different. You're the legal wife now, the legitimate wife of the Bureau Chief, and I'm the legitimate Brother-in-law of the Bureau Chief! We have to rush over. I'm almost there with the Third Uncle! "Zhang Cheng had completely relaxed on the other side of the phone.
Zhang Feng even heard him say to his son-in-law, "… Don't worry, I'm fine. It's just the local bank that wants your family to pay up. Just ignore them. After the new year, we'll teach them a lesson! "
"Sigh! Don't spill the beans! "Zhang Feng quickly stopped her brother from talking.
Huo Shaoheng and his father, Huo Guanchen, didn't approve of her marrying Grandfather Huo. In order to prevent them from playing any tricks, she had to get married secretly.
The most important thing now was to return to the Huo residence and get Grandfather Huo's ID, military ID, and household registration so that they could register their marriage at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Zhang Feng hung up and leaned against the second-floor hallway to think for a while. She turned around and walked back to Grandfather Huo's bedroom to check. Grandfather Huo was really asleep.
She knew that Grandfather Huo had a bad temper. If she woke him up like this, she didn't know how angry he would get. Therefore, she held back for now and felt that it was okay to wait.
The banks weren't open today anyway, and only some of their services would be open tomorrow. Whether or not the funds were frozen, they wouldn't be able to send money out.
Actually, Zhang Feng wasn't keen on sending money out anymore.
As long as she could marry Grandfather Huo, she was more comfortable in the country. Why would she go out? To live a precarious life like a mole that never saw the light of day?
She didn't want to …
Zhang Feng adjusted Grandfather Huo's blanket and turned to go downstairs to eat with her family and the Qian family's guests.
Everyone saw that Zhang Feng had finally arrived and quickly gave up the main table.
"Sister Zhang, please have a seat!"
"Aunt Zhang, let me toast you as well! May you grow younger and prettier! "
"What Aunt? You're making our Sister Zhang look old! Actually, with Sister Zhang's appearance, people would believe you if you said you were my sister! "
"Screw you! This boot-licking is too ridiculous! " A distant cousin of the Zhang family pointed at the handsome man in his thirties who was calling Zhang Feng "sister" and scolded him. "Look at yourself! Are you worthy of calling our Sister Zhang 'sister'?! "
Zhang Feng smiled at the handsome man in his thirties and sat down in a dignified manner. "Eat as much as you want. I'll treat you to dinner at the Huo mansion next time."
These relatives had only heard of the Huo mansion, but had never been there before.
However, they all knew that it wasn't a place they could enter as they pleased. Just the security check alone would take more than an hour.
"… Eh? Sister Zhang's words are interesting! When are you going to treat us to the Huo mansion?! That's where the higher-ups of the military live … "
"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed." Zhang Feng smiled and kept them in suspense. "Alright, stop asking me. How have you guys been?"
"How's your company's business?"
"What about you? Did your boss bully you? "
"Is your son going to high school soon? Where are you planning to go? No. 4 High? Or R University's Affiliated High? "
Zhang Feng held a bowl of bird's nest and stirred it slowly without eating. Everyone at the table greeted her like she was the head of the household.
Everyone respected her and knew that she was capable and had backing. They flattered her endlessly.
The meal lasted from 1 pm to almost 7 pm before they bid farewell reluctantly.
However, before they could leave, they heard banging sounds coming from the main door, as if someone had used a hammer to smash the door. They wanted nothing more than to smash a hole in the door.
"Who is this? What a nuisance! "Zhang Feng raised her eyebrows." Auntie Chang! Go and see what's going on! "
Auntie Chang was the live-in helper Zhang Feng found for herself. When she wasn't living here in the past, Auntie Chang stayed here to look after the house, clean the place, and cook three meals a day.
Auntie Chang was a plump middle-aged woman in her fifties. She wore a purple jacket and rushed to the door to open it.
The moment the door opened, she yelled, "Are you blind?! F * ck your mother! Do you know whose house this is?! Do you want to die?! "
No one spoke outside the door.
Four men in navy winter military uniforms, white gloves, and red armbands stood at the door. They had the insignia of a major with two bars and one star on their shoulders. They all had pistols strapped to their waists. They glared at Auntie Chang, who had just opened the door.
"You, you, you … Who are you? What do you want? "Auntie Chang's legs turned to jelly when she saw the four military officers.
Recalling how she had just scolded an officer, she covered her mouth and slumped to the ground.
Everyone in the house was dumbfounded when they saw the soldiers at the door. They didn't know what was going on.
"Is this Room 218, Block B, Chunhui Building, Third Ring Road, Chaoyang Li?" The leading officer asked in a deep voice. His voice was sonorous and forceful, and it was like a whip that lashed on one's chest, causing uncontrollable pain.
"Yes, yes, yes …" Auntie Chang held onto the door frame, almost kneeling.
The military officer scanned the house with his sharp eyes. "Who is Zhang Feng?"
"I am. What can I do for you?" Zhang Feng walked over gracefully. "Are you here to pick up Old Master Huo?"
She looked at their uniforms and realized that they were military police officers with the rank of Major. She was sure that they were here to pick up Grandfather Huo.
After all, with Grandfather Huo's status, it was impossible for him to stay outside with them.
She had been wondering why they were so late …
"You're Zhang Feng? The special-class head nurse of the Inpatient Department of the Military 314 Hospital? First Lieutenant? Serving General Huo Xuenong? "The military officer took out a document and read it aloud.
Zhang Feng was a little confused but nodded. "Yes, that's me. Are you here to pick up Grandfather Huo? He's resting on the second floor. "
Her apartment was a high-rise duplex, and it was very spacious and comfortable.
When the guests in the house heard that Grandfather Huo was here, they immediately smiled knowingly. The tension from earlier was gone.
Everyone looked at each other, winked at each other, and almost burst out laughing.
Just then, the military officer at the door waved his hand and said loudly, "Zhang Feng, you are suspected of abusing your power for personal gain, filling your own pockets with shoddy goods, sabotaging military supplies, and having a large amount of assets of unknown origin. The Second Brigade of the Military Police is here to arrest you. This is the arrest warrant. Take her away! "
A few soldiers rushed in from behind the military officer and handcuffed Zhang Feng's hands. They dragged her out of the house.
"What are you doing?! How dare you?! I'm going to report you to the military law office! The Chief will not let you go! "Zhang Feng struggled and screamed.
She looked up and saw a tall man standing behind the four military police officers with his back facing her. He was wearing a black general's uniform, and the star and leaf on his shoulder glowed.
Hearing Zhang Feng's scream, the man turned around and looked at her calmly. His gaze was calm and serious. It was Huo Shaoheng.
