District 9

A week later.

On Saturday night, the day before Wu Tianyin’s wedding, guests gathered in Beifengkou and were filled with joy.

Qin Yu and others were walking through the banquet hall at the headquarters of the Wu Mercenary Group. They were busy with political entertainment and getting to know some big bosses from the Sixth District of Russia.

…

Xiang Zehao originally wanted to go to Beifengkou today, but his mother called him a week in advance and asked him to go home for dinner today. Xiang Zehao knew in his heart that the person who wanted to date him must be his father, and it was very likely that he wanted to talk to him about incorporating the Wu mercenary group.

It's about eight o'clock in the evening.

Xiang Zehao took his wife and children together and drove to Xiang's house on Jiangyuan Avenue.

Xiang Zehao's personal life is extremely healthy. He and his wife were childhood sweethearts. They had been privately engaged for life when they were in school, and their relationship is extremely stable.

But when Xiang Zehao got married, his family was opposed to it, because although Xiang Zehao's wife had outstanding personal abilities, her family background was still far behind that of the Xiang family.

Xiang Zehao's wife is named Tang Qing. Her father was once the director of Fengbei's casualty department, and his work resume is also very simple. I worked from the bottom up, but when I reached the position of director, I couldn't move up. I worked for two terms without any highlights or mistakes, so I retired smoothly.

Tang Qing's own resume is much more beautiful. She is a top student who graduated from Fengbei University and majored in physics. There were relatively few women studying this major. In addition, Tang Qing was beautiful, tall, and had long legs, so she was also a famous talented woman at Fengbei University at that time.

Before Tang Qing graduated from university, Xiang Zehao wanted to marry her, but was opposed by the Xiang family. Even Xiang's mother believed that Tang Qing's family was too ordinary and not suitable for their son at all. They wanted Xiang more. Zehao found a girl from a well-matched political family.

But this kind of opposition has no effect on Xiang Zehao, who has been independent since childhood. When her parents didn't agree, he gave Tang Qing surgery to get pregnant.

Raw rice became cooked rice, and Xiang Zehao would not marry unless Tang Qing, plus the latter's personal conditions were not that bad. He had to have academic qualifications and a clean family background, so the two became a couple.

Not long after they got married, Xiang Zehao's first child was born, a daughter. Not long after, Tang Qing entered the Institute of Physics of the Ninth District Scientific Research Institute as soon as he graduated. Later, he gave birth to two children to Xiang Zehao, both boys.

Therefore, Xiang Zehao has three children. The eldest daughter is over nine years old, the eldest son is seven years old, and the younger son is about the same age as Qin Ziyi.

In family life, Xiang Zehao is very happy. He loves his wife and three children very much. The couple does not quarrel, and the children are healthy and cheerful. In addition, he is willing to take time to run the family, so his private life is It's enjoyable.

…

The car drove to the door of Xiangzhai, and the family of five got out of the car and walked into the compound.

At the door of the villa, Mother Xiang came out to greet her. The three children happily called grandma and gathered around.

"Mom, I brought you some underwear. They are all warm and shaping. You can try them out later." Tang Qing was very good at handling the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and almost never had any unpleasantness with her mother-in-law, either overt or covert.

"You see you are wearing so little. It's very cold. Come and sit in the room." Mother Xiang greeted.

Everyone heard the sound and entered the house. There were more than a dozen guards at the gate of Bieyuan, who happened to be on duty at this moment.

After Xiang Zehao entered the house, he glanced around the living room, but did not see his father. He only saw that the food had been placed in the dining room.

"My dad hasn't come back yet?" Xiang Zehao asked while sitting on the sofa.

"He is in a meeting. I don't know what time he will be back." Mother Xiang coaxed the three children and said, "Ignore him, let's eat first."

"Wait a minute." Although Xiang Zehao and his father had political disagreements and often quarreled, he still respected his father in his heart and bones.

"No, he called and asked us to eat first." Mother Xiang waved her hand and said, "Come on, everyone is on the table. Xiao Wang, get some drinks for my three darlings."

"Grandma, mom doesn't let us drink during dinner." The youngest son said obediently.

"You are the only one who talks too much." The eldest son glared and scolded his younger brother fiercely.

"Don't make any noise. Grandma has given special permission today. You can drink a little." Mother Xiang fondly touched her grandson's head.

After several greetings, Xiang Zehao's family of five sat at the dining table and started eating with Xiang's mother.

During the dinner, the whole family was having fun, laughing from time to time, and the atmosphere was very joyful.

…

Fengbei, inside the headquarters building of the Party and Government Self-Defense Forces.

Zhan Zhengchong is sitting in the finance department, working with the staff to calculate the amount of cash handed over by each group company, and is preparing to collect the accounts and call the Wu Mercenary Group within the specified time limit.

"Dip Lingling!"

Just then, a phone rang.

"Hello?"

Zhan Zhengchong answered the phone: "Hello, Secretary-General Liu."

"Is it convenient for you?" Liu Zhengtian, the regional secretary-general, asked.

"Ah, it's convenient. You can tell me, Secretary-General Liu."

"It's like this. Chief Xiang just finished presiding over the meeting and wants to see you." Liu Zhengtian said quickly: "It's still a matter of integrating the Wu Mercenary Group. Chief Xiang has a new plan and wants to talk to you. "

Zhan Zhengchong's head hurt when he heard this, but if Chief Xiang came to see him, he certainly couldn't say no, so he thought about it for a while and replied: "Then I'll go to the headquarters?"

"Come down, I'm almost there."

"Okay, I'll go down right away." Zhan Zheng nodded.

…

Half an hour later, Xiang Zhai, inside the restaurant.

The three children were anxious to play at their grandparents' house, so they finished their meal quickly, put on their coats together, and went to the outdoor courtyard to act like monsters.

Only Xiang Mu, Tang Qing, and Xiang Zehao were left at the dining table.

"You're not back yet?" Xiang Zehao glanced at his watch and said, "Let me call my dad."

"Are you worried?" Mother Xiang asked, wiping the corners of her mouth.

"I have a business trip tomorrow," Xiang Zehao said truthfully, "I have to go to the military headquarters tonight."

"Are you going on a business trip to Beifengkou?" Mother Xiang asked.

"Um."

"Zehao, Mom rarely interfered with your work before, right?" Xiang's mother hesitated for a moment and then replied with a slight frown: "But this time, I want to say something to you."

When Xiang Zehao heard this, he suddenly had a headache. He wasn't afraid that his father would come to talk, but he was afraid that his mother would get involved.

"Because you want to recruit Wu's mercenary group, your dad hasn't been home for three days." Mother Xiang sighed and said, "Oh, Zehao, your dad is old, you have to let him worry a little bit." ah."

Xiang Zehao was silent.

Tang Qing hesitated for a moment, and then in a rare move he persuaded Xiang Zehao: "Husband, you really have to think about it for Dad. You said..."

Xiang Zehao looked back at Tang Qian with a single look, and the latter shut up on the spot.

…

In Fengbei, four cars were parked in the backyard of the Ninth District Government Affairs Building.

In the first car, Zhan Zhengchong smiled and asked, "Why do you still enter through the backyard?"

"General Manager Xiang is resting in the back building and will not be disturbed by others." Liu Zhengtian said with a smile: "Get off the car."

"Why."

Zhan Zheng rushed to open the door and got out of the car, straightening his clothes.

"Tap tap tap!"

Suddenly, fierce footsteps came from the left side of the dark backyard.

Zhan Zhengchong turned around when he heard the sound and saw more than thirty soldiers running over in two columns.
