Chapter 869: Returning with Family

In one day and overnight, the Shannan Road garrison experienced a sudden and drastic change. Many senior generals, including commanders of several key positions, were removed from their posts and placed under strict scrutiny.

Among the middle and lower-level officers, more than half were dismissed and investigated for their involvement in the reselling of arms and supplies, which also implicated a large number of related personnel.

The Ministry of Defense set up a special case investigation team and, in accordance with emergency regulations, temporarily promoted a group of officers who were on high alert from the garrison. It also transferred a group of officers from the garrison in the intersection to temporarily take over the command, thereby quickly stabilizing the army.

After all, the matter of garrison is an internal matter of the military. Even if a group of officers are connected with other interest groups, when the military has evidence and handles it reasonably and in compliance with regulations, there will be no room for external forces to intervene, so the matter was quickly settled.

But compared to this, another related incident had a greater impact on certain groups in the central city.

Municipal consultant Bai Gu was seriously injured and detained by another fighter because she was involved in the incident and suspected of obstructing the investigation.

This news was like a huge earthquake for the central city of Shannan Road.

You should know that this person has been here since the beginning of the establishment of the Shannan Dao Central City. He has a very long history and many students and nephews. Moreover, because of his very good image, he has quite a lot of admirers in the upper class of the central city.

Especially in Shannan Road's fighter community, high-level fighting gyms, and Wuyi Academy, there are quite a few elite students and teachers who regard her as the goal of their struggle and belief.

Now hearing that she was easily defeated, and defeated by another fighter who was much younger than her, the shock in her heart was naturally great.

Moreover, a fighter who has been stationed in the central city for a long time has interests involved that extend deep into every aspect of the central city. If he is suddenly captured and isolated, it will cause anxiety among quite a number of people. Some forces and groups that cling to and rely on him will have a series of problems. If left unchecked, it is likely to cause greater turmoil.

However, with the prepared follow-up of the Defense Department and the municipal patrol, these situations were quickly suppressed. In the process, the municipal council and various companies that had always been at odds with the Government Affairs Department did not take the opportunity to cause trouble, but instead cooperated fully.

It's not that they care about the overall situation, but they know that the fighter who defeated Advisor Bai is outside the city and is obviously on the side of the Government Affairs Office and the army. Once a problem arises in the city, the Government Affairs Office will most likely invite people in, which they don't want to see. Compared to this, they would rather not give the government this excuse.

The military family area of ​​the garrison has become much more deserted in the past two days, especially the area for the families of senior officers, where there are few people walking on the street.

Chen Chuan was not affected at all during the past two days. He practiced when he should practice and rested when he should rest. He also got along very well with his aunt's family.

Cousin Han Cheng has been staying well these past few days. He feels scared and fortunate at the same time. Actually, what he did were small matters. But he received news that many of his colleagues were arrested by the Municipal Council on this pretext. Some of them had much darker backgrounds than him, but they didn't escape. He knew that if it weren't for his cousin, he might have been implicated as well.

On the 24th, Chen Chuan received a report from the Defense Department, which was a summary of the operation and some related reference materials.

This time, the operation was mainly led by the Ministry of Defense, in conjunction with the local army and the Shannan Provincial Government Office. The purpose was to eliminate the long-standing malpractices within the local garrison.

In fact, all departments had this plan several years ago and had made various plans and preparations, but the most crucial issue was the presence of Bai Gu.

She was a fighter hired by the Government Affairs Office when the central city was first established. In the first few decades, she did make a lot of contributions to the stability of Shannan Road. However, in the past few decades, she seemed to be more and more conservative and concerned about her own interests. She always tried to balance all aspects and refused all major adjustments and changes.

There is abundant evidence that her students, disciples, and some of her blood descendants are involved in various interest chains, and she herself is at the top of the chain, and even receives a lot of high-energy nutrients from the municipal council every year.

With her around, it was impossible to make any substantial changes to the Shannan Road garrison. However, with the arrival of Chen Chuan, Chang Shuyu, who was also a member of the Purity Faction, keenly saw the emergence of a breaking point, and immediately persuaded all parties to take this opportunity to act. The starting point of this process was just the passing of a note, and there was no precursor at all.

Judging from the results, the operation went very smoothly because Chen Chuan played the most critical role in it. Therefore, at the end of the report, the Shannan Provincial Government Office expressed its gratitude to him and promised to give him an additional thank-you gift in addition to Chang Shuyu's compensation.

After flipping through the report, Chen Chuan put it aside and looked at the golden sunlight outside. What happened next had nothing to do with him, and the annual holiday was almost coming to an end. After a few more days, if nothing happened, he would be ready to set off back to Jibei Road.

Three days later, it was the 27th.

Chen Chuan and his aunt's family came out of their home with suitcases, and with the farewell of Han Kuang's family, they took a car to the airship berth.

When they parted, the eldest and second aunts kept wiping tears and talking. Han Kuang was in very good spirits. He was in charge of the main affairs of the staff department these days, and he also arranged some personnel. If nothing unexpected happened, the position of deputy chief of staff would be stable, and if he performed well, he would have a chance to become chief of staff in the future.

After he finished talking to Nian Fuli, he turned to Chen Chuan and said, "Xiao Chuan, although I am your elder, I don't have much to teach you. My past life experience is of no use to you. You will go further in the future, to a height that I can't imagine. I just hope that you don't become like Consultant Bai in the future."

Chen Chuan could tell that his words were sincere. If he was not a true family member, he would not say that. He only needed to say a few flattering and polite words to create a good atmosphere.

He said seriously: "Uncle, don't worry, I won't follow the path of Consultant Bai."

Han Kuang nodded with relief.

While they were talking, the younger generations were also blessing each other and saying goodbye. Then Chen Chuan and his aunt's family boarded the airship as his aunt's family saw them off.

After waiting for a while, the propeller blades of the airship turned, and it slowly rose from the mooring tower and gradually moved away towards the direction of the sun in the east.

Han Kuang saw Yu Jie still sobbing and wiping tears, so he put his arm around her shoulders, patted her and said, "Don't be sad. They will live in the central city of Jibei Road in the future, so it will be easy for them to come visit us. Didn't your third sister say that she will come again next year? If you want to visit your third sister, I am now the deputy chief of staff, and I can also make arrangements for you, the wife of the deputy chief of staff."

Yu Jie glared at him and said, "You are so good!" Then she said, "I can't leave. Old Han, you can't take care of yourself, and Xiao Cheng is also a worry. If I leave for a month, how can I worry about you and the children?"

Han Cheng immediately said, "Dad, Mom, if you don't go, your son can go on your behalf."

Han Kuang and his wife looked at each other, and Han Kuang said, "It's not impossible. Let me think about it." Han Cheng shuddered all over, and he suddenly wondered if he had said something wrong just now.
After Nian Fuli's family got on the airship, the two little guys entered the main cabin and saw Chaoming lying on the soft nest. Their eyes lit up and they shouted "Chirp" and "Chirp" and ran towards Chaoming.

This time, Chen Chuan did not bring Chaoming into the military area, because Chaoming is now getting bigger and it would be too conspicuous if it were to enter the central city, so he placed it on the airship for the next few days.

At this time, he saw the two little guys having fun with Chaoming, so he smiled and let them go. There were security and service personnel on the airship anyway, so he didn't have to worry about anything happening.

He first put away the luggage he brought with him, and then took Nian Fuli and his wife, as well as Nian Qian, to the sightseeing cabin. After pouring tea, he sat down and said to Nian Fuli, "Uncle, I have arranged a position for you in the city patrol this time, in charge of personnel. If you are not satisfied and want to patrol the streets, that's fine too. It's just that the central city is more dangerous, so you need to install some implants to protect yourself when you are on the move."

Nian Fuli shook his head and said, "Xiao Chuan, I won't cause you any trouble. It's fine for you to just sit in the office."

Yu Wan also said, "Your uncle is not young anymore, and he is not familiar with the situation in the central city. He has been working in various streets and has been a team leader. He sits in the back all day, and his waist is not in good condition, and his belly is bigger than before."

Nian Fuli immediately denied it: "That's not true."

Yu Wan said, "Okay, no, no."

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "I have already contacted the teachers for my cousins. If they need to study at home, they can come to their homes for tutoring. If they want to go to a private college, that's also possible, but they will need to live on campus and may only come back once every ten days."

Yu Wan said, "Chan'er, let me discuss this matter with your uncle." They thought it would be best for the child to go to school so that he could meet more people. However, they were not familiar with the situation in the central city and it always felt like it was quite dangerous. They thought it would be better to wait and see after they arrived.

Chen Chuan nodded. He understood his aunt and uncle's concerns. It was not something that could be put at ease just by talking. He looked at Nian Qian and said, "Cousin, you have about three months of vacation, right? Why don't you stay a few more days in the central city?"

Nian Qian said, "Well, I haven't been back in the past few years, so I plan to spend more time with my parents during this period. I haven't been to the central city much either, so I just took a quick look at Shannan Road. Now that we are at Jibei Road, you must take me to see it for myself."

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Sure."
