Seeing his grandson so protective of his wife, Old Master Han said irritably, "Heh, I haven't even said anything yet, and you've already blurted it out. This old man is halfway to the grave, do you think I don't understand what you're thinking?"
"Alright, alright, bring Xiaoxiao along too. This matter can't be delayed. Let's go directly to the highest office in Beijing to talk." After thinking for two seconds, Old Master Han made this decision.
Such a great discovery, who should get the credit? Whoever it is, Xiaoxiao is working hard over there, and it's always her eldest grandson who comes out to claim the credit. What's going on?
The three of them quickly arrived in the center of the capital by car. After going through layer upon layer of checks, they finally entered this mysterious and solemn place.
Because he hadn't made an appointment in advance, Mr. Han had to make several phone calls from home before he was finally able to meet the person.
Lin Xiaoxiao saw the old man, whom everyone in later generations had talked about, sitting on a single sofa. She was still a little excited. She didn't know much about this person before, but after living in this era for so long, she knew almost all the people she needed to know.
Lin Xiaoxiao felt excited only after learning what kind of contributions the people in those positions had made.
After they arrived, they did not go inside immediately.
Old Master Han went in first and said a few words. The two then spoke in hushed tones inside, seemingly discussing something. Finally, the old man called his secretary over, as if giving her instructions. The secretary then went out to arrange various tasks.
Only then were Lin Xiaoxiao and Han Qiushi able to meet the old man.
After entering the house, Lin Xiaoxiao quickly composed herself and greeted the other person generously. When the other person invited her to sit next to him, Lin Xiaoxiao obediently sat on the sofa next to him.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't feel guilty," the old man said kindly.
"Okay." Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, took a tape recorder from the doorway, placed it on the table, turned it on, and soon, the words Zhao Jiu and her son-in-law spoke entered the ears of everyone present.
In the recording, Zhao Jiu's speech was nothing like his usual slow and gentle manner. His tone was either low or stern, and Ming Zhu's nervousness was also very obvious.
Except for Lin Xiaoxiao, the other four people were shocked upon hearing the contents. "This... how could Zhao Jiu do such a thing?"
Lin Xiaoxiao wasn't surprised by their reactions. Even when she told Han Qiushi the news, he couldn't believe it, let alone the two old people who had listened to Zhao Jiu's complaints about their miserable lives for half their lives.
The things Zhao Jiu said in the recording completely overturned his image in other people's minds, and it will definitely take time for him to accept this.
But faced with the facts, and such a serious matter, the old man, who had experienced many ups and downs, quickly composed himself. He remained silent for two seconds, his brows furrowed tightly, and after thinking for nearly half a minute, he finally moved.
He glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao silently, eager to know why she had this thing: "Why do you have this recording? And when did you discover Zhao Jiu's unusual behavior?"
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at Han Qiushi and calmly replied, "This story begins at the factory."
Lin Xiaoxiao briefly recounted the entire incident from when the factory caught fire. After their investigation, they finally narrowed down the search to the area within this compound.
The real discovery began with the discovery of Zhao Jiu's clothes. Also, since Ming Zhu was the third-in-command of the Cultural Relics Bureau, Lin Xiaoxiao was worried and found an opportunity to record the conversation. As for how she did it, she just happened to have some skills.
Although breaking into someone else's home without permission is outrageous, special cases should be handled specially, as the country cannot afford any more trouble right now.
"The whole incident was orchestrated by Zhao Jiu. He burned down the factory and smuggled national treasures abroad, all of which were aimed at destroying the country's economy and culture."
“Because I live on this land, and my husband, father, and grandfather have used their bodies to maintain peace, I cannot stand idly by.”
"The factory concerns the livelihoods of so many people, and those things are proof of history and civilization. They don't even value human life, killing people without hesitation. Such ruthless people deserve..."
"So, all the achievements your Han family made before were thanks to you?" The old man wasn't stupid. For many years, the Han family had been living a peaceful life, but ever since they married this daughter-in-law, it was as if they had divine assistance, and they made one achievement after another.
Han Qiushi glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao with some concern, hoping that his wife wouldn't do anything foolish and impulsively reveal her secret.
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded gently, "I was involved in some things, but not much. My senses are naturally more acute than others, and I can perceive details that others don't pay much attention to, but that's all."
Upon hearing Lin Xiaoxiao's words, the old man's calm gaze finally stirred. "I didn't expect you to have such extraordinary abilities. With your skills, would you be willing to dedicate yourself to the country now?"
People of his age are well-informed about many things in the country, and he even has people with similar abilities protecting him in secret.
He understood very well that people with special abilities like Lin Xiaoxiao would be very advantageous in national missions, but there were very few people with such abilities, and even fewer who were willing to use them.
People who are different from others always have a bit of arrogance in their hearts.
"Grandpa, I am very willing, but I am pregnant now, and there is a little one in my belly. My body functions will be affected to some extent. Even if I dedicate myself to the country now, I am no different from an ordinary person."
