Huo Guanchen's face darkened when he saw how stubborn Huo Shaoheng was.
Huo Guanchen stood in front of Huo Shaoheng with his hands behind his back, and his aura grew.
He had been the director of the political department for many years, and he was the highest-ranking political department in the military. Huo Guanchen was not someone who did nothing.
He looked up at Huo Shaoheng, who had a serious expression on his face, and said in a low voice, "You really want to do business with me, don't you? Okay, let's do business. "
Huo Guanchen looked through the inspection order again as he spoke.
He had been intimidated by Huo Shaoheng just now and almost thought that he had really made a mistake.
Now that he looked at the special inspection order again, Huo Guanchen came back to his senses and shook the order in front of Huo Shaoheng. "It doesn't say that I have to be exempted from the pass, but it also says that I am authorized to 'act at my own discretion.' Major General Huo, do you know what 'act at your own discretion' means? "
Simply put, the authorization of these words could be big or small.
To put it in a big way, it meant that Huo Guanchen could do whatever he thought was appropriate.
To put it in a small way, it could also mean that he would cooperate with Huo Shaoheng's work.
Therefore, these red-headed documents would never be written in stone. They would be ambiguous if they could and let the people below understand the meaning of the higher-ups.
Just like the American Constitution, it only had a total of 7,500 words, but it was the foundation of American law.
Its meaning lay in the court's interpretation of it during the trial.
In other words, every judge could have their own interpretation, and as long as this interpretation was in line with the inherent logic of the Constitution, it was a legal interpretation and had the force of law.
Huo Guanchen was now using this logic to speak to Huo Shaoheng.
His rank and position were higher than Huo Shaoheng's. If he wanted to explain it this way, and Huo Shaoheng couldn't think of a good way to respond, he had no choice but to give in.
Huo Shaoheng's dark eyes narrowed imperceptibly.
Calmly taking the inspection order from Huo Guanchen, Huo Shaoheng read it carefully.
There was very little text on this inspection order, only a simple line.
"We hereby send General Political Director Huo Guanchen to lead a surprise inspection of the headquarters of the Special Operations Forces. The relevant departments should actively cooperate and act at their own discretion. "
It was signed with the seal of the standing council of the Supreme Military Council.
This was the military's highest authority.
Huo Shaoheng read it carefully twice and felt that something was wrong.
After staring at the inscription for a while, a thought flashed through his mind, and he remembered.
He smiled as he handed the spot inspection order back to Huo Guanchen. "General Huo, I'm sorry, but your spot inspection order is somewhat illegal. Can you go back and issue another one before coming back for a spot inspection?"
"Illegal?!" Huo Guanchen was shocked. "This is the seal of the Supreme Military Council. How dare you say it's illegal?!"
"General Huo, I think you may have forgotten that when the Special Operations Forces was established, it was authorized by both the Senate and the Supreme Military Council. At that time, it was stipulated that any actions taken by domestic agencies against the Special Operations Forces must be authorized by both the Senate and the Supreme Military Council. "
"This spot check order of yours is only authorized by the Supreme Military Council, not the Senate. So, I'm sorry, but even you are not allowed to come in for a spot check."
Huo Shaoheng managed to block Huo Guanchen.
He had just said that he could bring one person in with his special A pass, but now he couldn't even come in himself. How ironic.
Huo Guanchen's face turned purple with anger, and his brows gradually furrowed. His dissatisfaction with Huo Shaoheng was clear on his face.
At that moment, the three cars that Huo Guanchen had brought with him were parked in the plaza in front of the Special Operations Forces headquarters building. The people in the cars were all quiet, and no one dared to get out.
Other than that, there were only the armed soldiers of the Special Operations Forces surrounding them. There was no one else to be seen.
…
Gu Nianzhi and Chen Lie leaned against the window on the 18th floor of the medical building and looked in the direction of the plaza.
The sky was blue and cloudless. Although the sun was shining, it was still chilly. It was a typical winter climate in the Imperial Capital.
Because they were far away, they couldn't see clearly what was happening.
Chen Lie took out two binoculars from his office and gave one to Gu Nianzhi. They looked in the direction of the plaza.
"Brother Chen, Huo Shao and his father don't seem to be on good terms." Gu Nianzhi communicated with Chen Lie as she watched.
Chen Lie snickered and said, "Ever since I met Huo Shao more than a decade ago, the father and son have never been on good terms. I'll be the one shocked when they're on good terms one day. "
Gu Nianzhi also found it funny. "That seems to be the case. Huo Shao's relationship with his father is pretty strained. "
Gu Nianzhi naturally sided with Huo Shaoheng's mother, Song Jinning. Therefore, she didn't have a good impression of Huo Shaoheng's father and had no intention of persuading Huo Shaoheng to build a good relationship with his father.
She wasn't a saint, and she didn't want to interfere with other people's family matters.
However, watching the father and son face off in the plaza, she felt strange.
"… If only I could know what they're talking about," Gu Nianzhi muttered to herself regretfully.
Chen Lie snorted. "What's so difficult about that? Just call Big Xiong and you'll know what they're talking about. "
"Oh? That's right! "Gu Nianzhi happily took out her phone and called Yin Shixiong.
Yin Shixiong was wearing a Bluetooth headset and stood nervously behind Huo Shaoheng.
When he heard that Gu Nianzhi's call was connected, he couldn't help but take a step back and whisper, "… Nianzhi, what's up?"
Gu Nianzhi also lowered her voice. "… Brother Xiong, Huo Shao is arguing with his father? What happened? "
Yin Shixiong knew that Gu Nianzhi was having a physical examination with Chen Lie today. After thinking about it, he turned on the speaker function of the Bluetooth headset and whispered, "… Listen to it yourself."
This time, Gu Nianzhi could not only see the situation in the distant plaza through the binoculars, but she could also hear everything that was happening in the plaza through the phone.
The Special Operations Forces had specially made multi-functional Bluetooth headsets for field missions. Of course, they weren't the same as the regular ones on the market.
The voices were as clear as if they were standing next to Huo Shaoheng.
Chen Lie said from the side, "Use the speaker and let me listen too."
Gu Nianzhi followed his instructions and turned on the speaker so she didn't have to hold it to her ear.
Gu Nianzhi and Chen Lie held the binoculars and listened to the sounds coming from the phone. It was like they were watching a show. They happily enjoyed the "father and son argument" in the plaza.
…
Huo Shaoheng raised his chin. "Please go back before I change my mind."
Compared to being grounded just now, going back the way they came was obviously a better choice.
Huo Shaoheng had no intention of intensifying the conflict. He still gave Huo Guanchen a way out.
Huo Guanchen glared at Huo Shaoheng angrily. His hands clenched into fists. He felt extremely wronged.
Even if there was a way out, what kind of way was that?!
They were being directly kicked out, and he still had to sing praises for them?!
Just as the two of them were locked in a standoff, the door of the large, wide, and tall RV in the plaza suddenly opened.
A tall woman wearing long leather boots and a short leather jacket walked out.
She had long eyebrows, an oval face, and a high nose bridge. Her full lips were smeared with bright red lipstick. It was so dazzling that people couldn't look at her directly.
Especially her eyes. When she stared at you, they were focused and captivating. It was as if you were her entire world.
But when she looked away, it would make you feel like you had been abandoned by the whole world.
She stood in front of the RV and turned around to reach her hand into the RV. "Cousin, come down."
The person inside seemed to hesitate for a moment. After a few minutes, a similarly tall woman walked out of the limousine.
She wore a pure white cashmere slim-fit coat. It was obvious that she was wearing a skirt and boots underneath. However, her aura was completely different from the woman in front of her.
The woman who came out later was elegant and had a scholarly air about her. It was Tan Guiren.
"Cousin …" Tan Guiren was a bit uneasy. "Let's go back. We shouldn't do anything that's against the rules. "
"How is it against the rules?" The glamorous woman raised her long eyebrows high. "Come with me. I promise to follow the rules."
Tan Guiren gave her a look of obvious disbelief.
The glamorous woman laughed. "Cousin, have you forgotten what I do in the United States? Don't worry, we don't do anything illegal. "
Tan Guiren finally understood and followed the glamorous woman over.
Standing next to Huo Guanchen, the glamorous woman narrowed her eyes and looked Huo Shaoheng up and down. Although she had always had high standards and had seen many handsome men in her years abroad, she had to admit that a man as handsome as Huo Shaoheng, who was so handsome he left people speechless, was extremely masculine, and extremely manly.
"General Huo, what's the matter?"
Although she was attracted by Huo Shaoheng's elegance, this woman was past the age where she would be smitten by a man's appearance.
So she only glanced at Huo Shaoheng before turning to Huo Guanchen.
Huo Guanchen saw that she had come over and his attitude softened a bit. He said gently, "Madam Cai, I've embarrassed myself."
As he spoke, he turned to Huo Shaoheng and introduced, "This is Madam Cai Shengnan, who just returned to the country not long ago. She is currently the head lawyer for Prime Minister Tan and his wife's legal team. She is also his personal assistant and has a very close relationship with the Senate."
The last sentence was actually a deliberate reminder to Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng's heart skipped a beat.
Madam Cai Shengnan's information had just been placed on his desk not long ago.
It could be said that Madam Cai Shengnan, who had just returned from the United States, had been able to successfully pass Prime Minister Tan's impeachment.
Cai Shengnan was also 29 years old this year and was half a year younger than Huo Shaoheng. She had always been a lawyer in the United States and was a partner of the second-largest law firm in the United States.
She was still very famous in the American legal community, but not many ordinary people knew about her.
However, almost everyone in the United States knew about her father, Cai Sumin.
More than a decade ago, there was a president in the United States who was impeached by Congress because he had an affair with his female intern. He was almost forced to step down.
Madam Cai Shengnan's father, Cai Sumin, was the head lawyer for that president's personal legal team at the time.
He was the one who had helped that president overcome a difficult situation and settled the United States House of Representatives and Senate, which prevented the president from being impeached and removed from office.
More than a decade ago, Cai Shengnan, who had just entered university, had followed her father through the entire impeachment case. She had been influenced by how it was handled and learned many things. She had also been able to draw inferences about other cases from one case and had helped the legal team come up with many ideas.
At the time, the impeachment case had been successfully passed. Cai Shengnan, who had just entered the industry, had also put in a lot of effort.
Prime Minister Tan's wife, Cai Songyin, was Cai Songyin's biological aunt.
When Prime Minister Tan encountered this difficult situation, Cai Songyin had finally gone to her older brother from her maiden family to help. Her older brother had sent his daughter, Cai Shengnan, back to the Hua Xia Empire to personally handle it. Finally, they had settled the upper and lower houses of the Hua Xia Empire's parliament.
Now that this person was standing in front of him, she was no longer the cold data on the report. She was a real person.
Huo Shaoheng nodded politely at her. "Hello, Madam Cai. Please return to the car. This is not a place for you."
"Oh? Is that so? " Cai Shengnan tilted her head and looked at Huo Shaoheng. She said with interest, "If I don't go up, what will you do? Lock me up and torture me? "
Huo Shaoheng's expression was normal as he said calmly, "Our military never abuses prisoners. Torture is the US military's specialty. We will not steal their thunder. "
