Lu Zhaolin seemed full of energy all afternoon. Thinking that Song Qinghe had indirectly agreed to his request, he felt very happy.

Even when training his subordinates, he was much gentler.

After seeing him, Zhao Jianjun came over to report that, apart from Lin Xiaxia, everyone else had been sent to the solitary confinement room.

As for Lin Xiaxia, she fainted immediately upon learning that she was to be sent to a military court, giving them no time to prepare.

He looked cowardly and timid, completely different from his previous troublemaking self; he was clearly terrified.

When Lu Zhaolin found out, he didn't even flinch; she deserved it.

What were you doing all this time?

Do you really think his people are so easy to bully?

And then there's Sun Yueping, who, relying on the fact that she led the performing arts troupe for a few more years and that her family had a tiny bit of influence, started threatening others at will.

She even wanted Zheng Deshan to bow down and vouch for her; she didn't even know who she was.

Lu Zhaolin doesn't usually like to use his family connections, as it makes him seem incompetent.

But now that others are specifically asking him to compete with them in terms of background and even trying to bully his wife, he doesn't mind using his family's power.

Thinking of this, he immediately gave Zhao Jianjun and the others training instructions and assigned them tasks. Then he made a phone call home.

Lu Zhaolin decided to skip his parents and go directly to his grandfather regarding this matter.

Firstly, the old man had strong connections and powerful backing; all of his old comrades-in-arms who were still alive were in high positions.

Secondly, the old man is very protective of his own. He used to protect himself, but now he directly protects his wife.

Lu Zhaolin didn't believe that his grandfather could stand by and watch his granddaughter-in-law being bullied without doing anything. Wasn't he trying to compete with him in terms of connections and background?

If he doesn't show off, people will really think he's incompetent and lets others bully him.

There was another thing he wanted his grandfather to keep an eye on: things had been going smoothly with the marriage application process, so why was there suddenly some opposition?

There's been no news lately, which is quite strange.

Let the old man investigate this time, lest the other party do something underhanded without their knowledge.

If you are tricked without your knowledge, you will be really screwed over.

After the call connected, Lu Zhaolin planned to ask about the old man's health first, since it was a long journey and he didn't know if the old man's body could handle it when he got back.

I need to ask about these things to feel at ease.

As a result, as soon as the call was connected, Old Master Lu seemed a little disgusted when he heard it was his voice.

"It's you? What do you want?"

"Grandpa, I..."

"Where is my granddaughter-in-law? I want to talk to my granddaughter-in-law, not you!"

Grandpa Lu didn't give Lu Zhaolin a chance to care about him at all. What was there to care about? His brain must not be working properly.

His body has always been like this; Lu Zhaolin is the typical type who only visits when he has a reason.
