When Zhao Shuai first saw the list, he knew that members of his family were involved. He tried to subtly approach his family about it, but they just laughed at him. They thought he was arrogant because he was from one of the four major families. So, after that, Zhao Shuai never brought it up again.
It's laughable that they only remembered to look for me after the higher-ups issued a firm order and some of the Zhao family's insignificant collateral relatives were arrested.
Now it's not just the family's fault; the country doesn't want this family to exist. It could plunge the entire family into ruin overnight, leaving them with no place to prosper.
It's no use having his elder brother come to him now; he's just someone who leads troops forward, not someone who can give orders.
Zhao Gao naturally understood what his younger brother meant: "I know, and Grandpa and the others know too. We didn't intend to do anything, we just wanted to know how many people in the family were involved in this matter, and whether it would ultimately harm the interests of the Zhao family."
"You're handsome, you know that, right? And it's not a military secret, is it?"
In general, the family members are all helpless; they share the same fate, and they share the same fate. Therefore, the best thing is for everyone to behave themselves and not cause trouble.
Zhao Shuai frowned and did not answer his brother's question immediately. Instead, he asked solemnly, "Brother, you were once a soldier in the elite regiment. Do you know how many people our elite regiment lost because of this incident?"
As Zhao Shuai asked the question, Zhao's eldest son's expression also became serious: "I'm sorry, I really don't know, but I can imagine that many of our comrades must have sacrificed themselves. After all, human nature is greedy, and for their own benefit, they may do things that harm others."
Zhao Shuai was barely satisfied with his brother's answer: "Brother, well, the Zhao family had the most people involved in this matter, so you can guess how it will end. The elite team lost so many people, it's impossible to just let it go so easily. Even the higher-ups won't agree."
Zhao Gao had finally learned what he wanted to know. He nodded, took a sip of tea, and said, "Alright, you can go now. Be careful during the operation. I'll talk to Grandpa."
"Okay, I'm leaving then."
Zhao Shuai's departing figure was very resolute. The reason why he was sent to carry out this mission was probably because of the Zhao family.
After Zhao Shuai left, Zhao's eldest son also left and returned home. Sure enough, almost everyone from the old man to his father's generation had arrived.
Everyone looked anxious. Seeing Zhao Gao return, they immediately asked, "Boss, how did it go? Did you see the commander?"
This is such an urgent matter for Uncle Zhao's second uncle, but who could have gotten his son involved? He was even mistaken for a fish and taken away last night.
Zhao Gao looked at the old man and respectfully greeted him, "Grandpa."
The old man looked to be at least seventy years old, but he was still in good spirits and had a robust physique: "Eldest brother, how is it?"
"I did see the handsome man..." Before he could finish speaking, he was hurriedly interrupted by others.
"What?"
"Is he really handsome? How many people in our family are involved this time?"
Zhao Gao remained silent, waiting for those who were eagerly asking questions to shut up, before slowly speaking:
"Ha, the Zhao family has the most people involved in the entire capital. Do you even need to ask what the result is?" Zhao Gao was angry. As the eldest grandson of the Zhao family, he certainly had reason to be angry. How could he not be angry when his whole family was dragging him down?
