At around eight o 'clock in the evening, the military received news that a huge mudslide had occurred deep in the mountains at the border of Tibet and Sichuan. Because it was deep in the mountains, there were no signs of human habitation, so no one was affected. However … the 15 special forces soldiers who had entered the mountains for training had lost contact with the military. Satellite positioning could not track their tracks, nor could they locate their current location.
Today was Sunday, and it was Master Xia's 86th birthday. Master Xia's three sons and one daughter all rushed back to the old mansion in Beihai to celebrate Master Xia's birthday.
Many of the younger generation also came, and there were also six great-grandchildren's children. They held candies in their hands and ran and jumped happily in the big yard.
Hou Zi, who was talking to the elders, looked outside from time to time, keeping an eye on his wife, Xia Yiwei.
There were so many children in the house, and his wife was so pregnant. He was worried that the children would accidentally bump into her … If they did, it would be terrible.
Retracting his gaze, Hou Zi saw Commander-in-Chief Xia, who was sitting on his left, take out his cell phone from his pocket. He didn't know what was said on the phone, but he clearly saw Commander-in-Chief Xia, the father of his sixth son, suddenly change his expression. "Okay, I got it. I'll be right there."
His voice suddenly became tense, as if it was a straight line that would break at any time.
Hou Zi quickly calmed himself down and heard Commander-in-chief Xia say to him, "Little Hou, take the grandchildren with you to celebrate the old man's birthday. I have something urgent to attend to, so I'll take my leave first. When the old man asks me later, just tell him that I have something to do and have to leave."
The old man was invited by his granddaughter, Zhou Yijin, to open the gifts. A few minutes after he left, Commander-in-Chief Xia received an urgent call from the military.
Hou Zi was now Family Xia's grandson-in-law, so Commander-in-Chief Xia did not treat him as an outsider. He whispered a few words and got up to leave.
To the left of Commander-in-Chief Xia sat the old man's eldest son, Xia Anguo. Xia Anguo also left with the old man. One seat away was his cousin. He was talking to the old man's second son, Xia Jiaze, about a piece of land in a low voice. Both of them were real estate developers, so the topic of their conversation was business.
Commander-in-Chief Xia, who left in a hurry, did not interrupt the two of them and left in a hurry.
"Huh? Why is my third brother leaving in such a hurry? " Xia Jiaze heard the commotion and looked up to see Commander-in-Chief Xia's back, so he asked Hou Zi, "Xiao Hou, where did your uncle go?"
Hou Zi was very respectful to Family Xia's uncles. He was an orphan and had no family. Family Xia knew what he had done in the past, so he accepted him unconditionally because of Xia Yiwei. Hou Zi was very touched by this and sincerely treated Family Xia's elders as his own elders.
Hearing this, he said respectfully, "Little Uncle, Third Uncle just received a call and told me that he had to leave because he had something to do. I will explain it to the old man when he comes back."
"It's most likely about the military." Xia Jiaze frowned slightly, and his hair was a little pale. He smiled at Hou Zi and said, "Come, Xiao Hou, come and talk to me. You are doing well in the Southern Province. Do you have any plans for the coastal area? "
Talking about business was Hou Zi's specialty. Hearing this, he smiled happily and sat down.
Outside, Xia Yiwei was talking to her aunt, Xia Sujun, when she saw Commander-in-Chief Xia walking out in a hurry. With her big belly, she hurriedly asked, "Uncle, where are you going? It's time to cut the birthday cake for the old man. "
Commander-in-Chief Xia, who was striding out, waved his hand when he heard this. He did not stop and said with a smile, "I have something urgent to deal with. You and Xiao Hou accompany the old man." After that, he lowered his head and ordered the guard, "Contact the person in charge in Zangchuan. I want to talk to him personally."
