"Elder sister, please don't make it difficult for me, going to establish connections during the New Year, what if Xu Jingfang says she doesn't know me? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?" Xu Suying said with a troubled face.

"What's there to be embarrassed about? After all, you were classmates once," Liang Zhen said.

"But that was so many years ago, and besides, she is the wife of the county public security bureau director!" Xu Suying said.

"It's precisely because she is the wife of the county public security bureau director that you need to establish a connection," Liang Zhen said.

"Enough, Liang Zhen, even if Xu Suying does establish a connection, Chief Zuo certainly won't intervene on behalf of our family for Jirong," Xu Zheming said, finding himself unable to do anything but speak up as Liang Zhen pressured his sister.

"Fine then, if Suying won't go, you go yourself. After all, you're from the same village," Liang Zhen said with a roll of her eyes.

"That's from who knows how many years ago; moreover, their family was from the front village, and our family was from the back village, a good distance away, so there was hardly any interaction," Xu Zheming said with a pained expression.

"No matter what, when it comes to getting things done and finding connections, you always have an excuse. If you're not going to go, then let's just have dad go. He is an elder from the village; Xu Jingfang's parents will definitely recognize him," Liang Zhen said angrily.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Enough, Liang Zhen, today I'll give face to my uncle and cousin. I'll go over to Chief Zuo now to greet him and see if my cousin's issue can be resolved. If he can handle it, he will definitely help you. If he can't, there's no use in uncle asking either." Ge Dongxu, having seen his aunt repeatedly make things difficult for his uncle, even now dragging his grandfather into this situation, had no respect for his elders left. Added to this, the numerous times she had humiliated his own parents, he couldn't stand it any longer and stood up to speak, even ditching the honorifics in addressing her out of frustration.

"Suya, Shengming, is this how you teach your child? What kind of attitude is this? What attitude?" Liang Zhen, seeing Ge Dongxu address her by name, immediately pointed at Suya and Shengming with an iron-blue face and demanded.

"You child, how can you speak to your aunt like that? Apologize to your aunt now!" Xu Suya and Ge Shengming, both startled by Ge Dongxu's sudden display of assertiveness, quickly grabbed his hand and scolded.

"Mom, Dad, I know exactly what I'm saying. Since she never truly sees us as family, why should I respect her? I'm going to see Chief Zuo today, but it's only for the sake of my uncle and cousin; it has nothing to do with her," Ge Dongxu, who had always been a very obedient child and never lost his temper with anyone, confessed, but once he did get angry, he was unstoppable. That was the situation now.

"You're going to see Chief Zuo? Listen to this, listen! This young kid is actually saying he's going to see Chief Zuo, and even claiming it's for Zheming and Jirong's sake? How ridiculous is that! Suya, Shengming, I think no matter how much education your son gets, he'll still be a fool!" Liang Zhen, furious to the point of absurdity, scoffed disdainfully.

"Alright, alright, elder sister, Dongxu is just a kid, he was just talking big, are you really going to take him seriously?" The other two aunts, seeing Liang Zhen go as far as to call him a fool, quickly stepped forward to mediate.

As for uncle Xu Zhewei, he had already left earlier to act as a greeter.

"Fine, I'm the fool! After today's incident with you, Liang Zhen, we will have nothing to do with each other," Ge Dongxu said forcefully as he pulled away from his parents and strode towards where Zuo Le and others had found seats in the hall, chatting and laughing.

At that time, there were no private rooms in small places; everyone dined in the main hall.

"This child, this child!" Although Xu Suya and Ge Shengming knew their son was not an ordinary teenager, seeing him actually go to find Chief Zuo still made them anxious enough to stamp their feet.

In Huaxia Country, the common people always had a deep-seated belief that officials ranked higher than ordinary citizens. Xu Suya and Ge Shengming, both mere common folk, would normally regard even a police officer with great deference, let alone the county public security bureau director who oversaw the local police.

To them, such an official was absolutely a high-ranking one!

How could they not be frantic upon seeing their own son recklessly seeking out Director Zuo?

"Look, look, this is all your great doing." Xu Zheming, seeing his nephew actually went to find Director Zuo, became so anxious that he pointed at Liang Zhen with trembling hands.

"What about me? This is the brilliant son your sister raised! So foolish, I find it embarrassing!" Liang Zhen's temper flared up at being blamed, immediately puffing out her chest and retorting.

"You... I won't talk to you." Xu Zheming, infuriated, finally stomped his foot violently, then shouted at Ge Dongxu, "Dongxu, come over here to your uncle!"

At this point, Xu Zheming obviously couldn't afford to yell anymore. Should Ge Dongxu, in his scholarly indignation, really approach Director Zuo, the joke would truly be on them.

"Dongxu?" Just having sat down, Zuo Le and Xu Jingfang jerked upright upon hearing Xu Zheming's shout, quickly following the direction of the voice and, indeed, seeing a familiar young face. The couple immediately lit up with joy and hastily stood back up, striding towards Ge Dongxu.

Watching Zuo Le and Xu Jingfang suddenly leave their seats to greet Ge Dongxu, Xu Zheming and the others were baffled and secretly cursed their luck.

It was too late to stop them now!

Just as Xu Zheming and the others were internally panicking, they witnessed a shocking scene. They saw the director stretching out his hands from afar before he even reached Ge Dongxu, appearing as if greeting a superior official coming to inspect the work.

At this moment, Xu Zheming and the others widened their eyes. In the hall's corridor at this moment were only Ge Dongxu and Director Zuo, with Zuo obviously reaching out his hands towards Ge Dongxu.

Liang Zhen covered her mouth, her eyes bulging and her face suddenly flushing red.

"Dongxu, what are you doing here too?" Zuo Le quickly took two steps forward, grabbed Ge Dongxu's hands tightly, and asked excitedly.

"This hotel is owned by my maternal uncle, and my maternal grandfather used to be from Xu Village." Ge Dongxu replied with a smile.

"Ah, your grandfather was from Xu Village? Then we really are one family! Jingfang used to be from Xu Village too," Zuo Le said with a face full of surprise.

"Right, where is your grandfather now? I might even know him!" Xu Jingfang stepped forward, equally surprised.

"Over there." Ge Dongxu turned and pointed in the direction of his grandfather.

"My eyesight isn't so good, I think he looks somewhat familiar. Dongxu, you'll have to lead me to greet the elderly, to pay my respects." Xu Jingfang, unable to see clearly from afar, told Ge Dongxu.

"Sure, that works, my uncle also needs to ask Director Zuo for a little favor," Ge Dongxu said.

"What favor? You're being too formal, Dongxu. Besides, I heard from Lin Jinnuo that you call him 'Old Lin' affectionately, and here you are being formal with me? Remember, I'm also a son-in-law of Xu Village, even closer to you. No, you must call me Elder Zuo, 'Director' is too impersonal," Zuo Le laughed.

Others might not know of Ge Dongxu's miracles, but having experienced it firsthand, how could Zuo Le be unaware? This time, if it weren't for Ge Dongxu, he would have not only missed out on a promotion but could have lost his life.
