Chapter 862: This Body is a Tool of the Country
Han Kuang was originally worried that Chen Chuan would not recognize him, which would be very embarrassing. He did not know what his colleagues would think of him at that time, but he did not expect Chen Chuan to recognize him at a glance.
He breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and said, "Xiao Chuan, Happy New Year to you too. Your aunt said before that you had official business and would be a few days late. Your aunt has been thinking about you the whole time, and she must be very happy to see you."
Chen Chuan smiled. "I'm sorry to have missed you, uncle and aunt. We were supposed to come together, but some things got delayed. I'll be here as soon as I'm done." He looked around. "Uncle, who are these people..."
Han Kuang stepped aside and introduced, "This is Chief of Staff Bai from our General Staff. Knowing you were coming, the troops made some arrangements and even sent your uncle to pick you up."
Chen Chuan extended his hand and said, "Hello, Chief of Staff Bai."
Chief of Staff Bai stepped forward, shook Chen Chuan's hand, and said with a smile, "Hello, Director Chen. We are delighted to have you visit our Shannan Province. I wonder how long Director Chen will stay here this time? That way we can make some arrangements."
Chen Chuanshuo said: "I still have a lot of official business waiting for me to deal with after the New Year. I won't be away for long, maybe just a few days."
Chief of Staff Bai smiled and said, "Director Chen is very capable and carries a heavier burden than us. He has worked really hard. No matter what, Director Chen is a guest. As long as you stay in Shannan Road for one day, we, as hosts, will make all the arrangements for you."
Although he and Chen Chuan did not belong to the same department, he and Han Kuang came to the same conclusion. Chen Chuan was a fighter at such a young age, and he also held an extremely critical position in the central city. He must have both ability and support. There was a high probability that he would be able to enter the leading level of Dashun in the future.
If there is an opportunity to make friends with such a person, he will definitely not miss it. Even if he himself cannot wait until that time, his younger generation may be able to get in touch with him in the future.
He knew how to judge the extent. After all, the two sides had no previous friendship, so after a few words, he didn't say anything more. As for Staff Officer Fan behind him, Han Kuang didn't come forward to introduce him just now, so it was not appropriate for him to take the initiative to approach him and say more.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, they walked out. Chen Chuan and Han Kuang got into the General Staff's car together, while Chief of Staff Bai and the other man got into another car.
After the car started moving, Han Kuang glanced at the rearview mirror in front of the driver's seat and happened to see Chen Chuan's eyebrows, which were somewhat similar to those of Yu Jie and Yu Wan. He thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Chuan, when I first met you, you were still very young. I didn't expect you to grow so tall in the blink of an eye."
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "I remember that my uncle and aunt came with my cousin. I also remember that my cousin was naughty. He climbed up the loquat tree to catch a cat, and fell from it. He was beaten by my aunt."
Han Kuang asked in surprise, "You still remember this?" Then he said with relief, "You fighters should have good memories. Yes, your cousin has been very naughty since he was a child."
"What is my cousin doing now?"
"Han Cheng has opened a commission agency. I don't know what he's doing during the Lunar New Year. I don't approve of what he's doing, but we can't control him, so we just let him be. Your two younger sisters are at home, but you haven't met them yet. They weren't even born when I met your parents."
"I've seen the photos of the two of them that my cousin brought back. Xiao Huan looks like you, but Xiao Jing looks more like your aunt."
Han Kuang smiled and said a few words, then he felt relieved. To be honest, he was not sure how to get along with his fighter nephew at first.
But now he feels that Chen Chuan is not the kind of unapproachable fighter he imagined. Although he cannot be treated as a true junior due to his position and status, at least they get along very naturally now, and he respects him as an elder in his words.
He thought that this old man and Yu Wan had a way of teaching children. In his opinion, Nian Qian was already very good, much better than his own unreliable son, but Chen Chuan was even more amazing, exceeding the upper limit of their expectations for all their descendants.
On their way back, Yu Jie also received the news. Han Xiaohuan didn't explain the details, so she called back. In the end, it was Nian Qian who took the call and explained it. It took her a while to understand what was going on.
Only then did she realize that this nephew was extraordinary. Not only did he hold a high position, but he was also a national-level fighter. Although she did not fully understand the significance of this, she knew that even the commanders of the army paid attention to him, so he must be a big shot.
She complained to Wan: "Sister, why didn't you tell me about the biography earlier?"
Nian Fuli explained, "Sister, Xiao Chuan was originally planning to come with us, but he suddenly had some official business, so we left first. Xiao Chuan's current status is somewhat special, so it's not easy for us to make decisions for him while he's busy, right? Considering that he promised to come visit you, I think it's best to let him talk to you himself after he arrives."
Yu Wan held her hand and said, "Sister, even if Chan'er holds a high position, he's still your nephew, your second sister's son. There's nothing different about him. Does that mean he won't recognize you just because he holds a high position?"
Yu Jie thought about it and became happy. "Then why are you still standing there? Let's go back quickly. Hey, second sister, Xiao Chuanxin has made great progress."
Yu Wan was holding Nian Lu's hand, and when she saw her quicken her pace, she said, "Sister, please slow down."
Nian Fuli took two steps forward and took Nian Lu from her. "Yu Wan, you accompany Big Sister. I'll take Xiao Mo and Xiao Lu behind."
When they got to the car, the family hurriedly got in and rushed back from Central City.
On the other side, the special car of the General Staff came all the way, and the road was under martial law. Although it was outside the central city, there were armed security personnel on the roadside. As the vehicle arrived, they would raise their hands and salute.
Although Han Kuang was in the army, he rarely saw such a ceremony. This was a treatment that only the garrison commander Zhao could have. He had once thought about when he would have such a day, but later gradually gave up this hope. Unexpectedly, he would enjoy it today thanks to Chen Chuan.
He glanced at Chen Chuan and saw that the latter looked very calm, as if he was used to such scenes. His mood became even more complicated.
After stopping at the Han family's villa, Chen Chuan and Han Kuang got out of the car. Chief of Staff Bai also got out. He first said a few words to Chen Chuan, then patted Han Kuang on the shoulder and said, "Old Han, come to my house in a couple of days. Wan Shu recently brought me some good tea, but no one has helped me drink it yet."
Han Kuang agreed with a smile. After seeing Chief of Staff Bai off, he felt a lot of emotions in his heart. He straightened his clothes, gestured with his hand, and went into the inner room with Chen Chuan.
Nian Qian and the Han sisters all ran out at this moment. The Han sisters looked at Chen Chuan curiously, feeling that the man in reality was much better than they had imagined, especially those sparkling and awe-inspiring eyes, which they had never seen in anyone else.
Han Kuang said, "This is cousin Chen Chuan, why don't you say hello?" The Han sisters hurriedly called him cousin in a familiar yet timid manner.
Chen Chuan responded with a smile.
At this moment, the sound of a car was heard outside. Han Kuang looked over and said, "Your aunt and her family are back. They just went out to buy something."
After waiting for a while, Yu Jie walked in from outside and her eyes immediately fixed on Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Auntie, Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year."
Yu Jie came up with a smile on her face. She looked at Chen Chuan's face and said, "Xiao Chuan, you and my second sister look so much alike. Seeing you reminds me of my second sister."
As she spoke, her eyes became hot.
Han Kuang said: "It's New Year's Day, you said you..."
"Oh, yes."
Yu Jie wiped it with her hand and said, "Have a seat." She looked at the fruit plate that had been placed on the table. "Hey, I'm telling you guys, use these to treat Xiao Chuan." Then she said to Chen Chuan, "Xiao Chuan, it's noon now. What do you want to eat? Auntie will make it for you."
Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Auntie, don't be busy. I may have to bother you for a few more days. It's a good opportunity for me to taste more of your cooking skills."
"Okay, okay, stay a few more days. Xiao Chuan, you just arrived, right? Lao Han, Xiao Huan, Xiao Jing, please help greet everyone... Sister, brother-in-law, you guys take a seat first. I'll go wipe my face."
After Yu Jie wiped her face, she went to the kitchen with Ling's mother to prepare lunch. A full table of dishes was set, and the two families ate until after one o'clock. Then Yu Jie personally cleaned up Chen Chuan's room. When she came out and returned to the bedroom, she said in disbelief, "Old Han, how did Xiao Chuan become the director of the Security Department?"
Han Kuang was sitting on the edge of the bed. He said leisurely, "That's secondary. The main thing is that he is a fighter."
Yu Jie only knew that he was a formidable fighter, highly regarded by the nation's top brass, but she had no idea what he was like. She sat down beside him and said, "Old Han, can you explain the logic behind this?"
Han Kuang hummed. He felt as if he had returned to his school days, when Yu Jie had sat beside him and asked him all sorts of questions. He slowly said, "Let's put it this way. Our nephew alone is as powerful as our entire garrison."
"What's the meaning?"
"That's exactly what it means," Han Kuang said in a deep voice, "A national-level fighter is a strategic weapon, capable of taking on an entire army on their own. I've seen video recordings of fighters after battles, and it was like being bombarded by hundreds of cannons.
In the old imperial dynasties, martial artists were called 'Generals of the State,' meaning they could conquer an entire nation. Wherever such a person was placed, the balance of military power would shift. In our Shannan Road Central City, there are no more than two such individuals.
Yu Jie was indescribably shocked. These scenes and descriptions were beyond her imagination. After a while, she muttered to herself, "Biography, biography, is he really that powerful..."
"So don't look down on fighters." Han Kuang looked outside and sighed, "Back then, I could see the stubbornness and fighting spirit in your second sister's eyes. She was a person with firm ideas, and the path she didn't take back then, Xiaochuan has now helped her realize it."
