After all, they have leverage over them, so they should be the ones to make the first move.
“Su is right, let’s do it this way. You can stay here for now and go back after things are settled over there.”
Marshal Li was worried that he had two young children at home. What if those shameless people couldn't handle him and secretly took the children away?
He knew perfectly well that the organization had sent people to watch over the two children after they moved there, but he was still worried.
In any case, the military compound is much safer. If you need anything, just tell the guards and they will go out to buy it.
Unless they have the ability to come to your home, then there is no safe place to live in the country.
Su went up and told her grandmother. She didn't intend to hide it from anyone; her grandmother had experienced far more than they had.
"Don't worry, my dear, I'll stay home with Chaochao and Hehe and we won't go anywhere." Old Mrs. Guo cursed the Du family and the Shi family in her heart.
What a shameless bunch! Instead of the girls going to cause them trouble, they're trying to strike first.
"Okay, then Baichuan and I will go to work first." Su Ti was sure she would be late for work, so she hurriedly left after giving her instructions.
But I didn't get to go to work today. I was stopped as soon as I left the military compound, and my grandfather and father were asked to come back.
"Greetings, Commander. I am the captain of the Divine Blade Brigade, codename Flying Eagle." After entering the room, the man and the three men behind him saluted Marshal Li.
When they showed their identification, Marshal Li knew what was going on, which is why he quietly led his men back.
Marshal Li returned the salute to the group before turning his gaze to the person who had spoken.
He knew in his heart that these people were probably sent by the organization to protect him secretly, and their appearance meant only one thing: his safety was threatened.
"Commander, this morning I received a tip from my men that Comrade Li Baichuan was being followed. They only stopped following him when he entered the military compound."
“Our people followed them back. Those people were clearly trained; they had a strong sense of counter-surveillance.”
“Our men went into an unfamiliar dark alley and lost track of the person, but after searching the surrounding area, we found that it was a large courtyard with a very mixed population.”
"They are all temporary workers, or people who were randomly assigned to that area because there wasn't enough housing in the family compound."
“Those people were very familiar with that place. I sensed something was wrong, so I sent someone to keep an eye on it from the shadows.”
"Soon those people changed their clothes and dispersed. If I hadn't come in person, they would have definitely gotten away this time."
"I didn't alert them. I followed them to their destination and discovered that they had been staking out the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Development and Reform."
After that person finished speaking, Su Ti and Li Baichuan raised their heads and looked at them.
"Commander, we've been following you and haven't noticed anything amiss. Have you been secretly in contact with anyone recently?"
The man glanced at the Li family members. Since they had been sent to protect someone, they knew what they should do and what they shouldn't ask.
For example, Marshal Li's grandson had been to the black market, and he knew some strange and unreliable people.
Or perhaps he has some connection with the Kang family, and the old marshal's granddaughter-in-law, who is also not a simple person.
However, none of this concerns them; their duty is to protect Marshal Li and his only grandson.
Of course, now with his two great-grandsons, they are the old marshal's pillars of support. If something were to happen to them, the old marshal would collapse.
After hearing his words, Suti and the others realized that they had been targeted, and not by ordinary people.
I just found out about what happened to the Shi family this morning, and now this has happened. Nobody would believe that it has nothing to do with them.
There must be someone behind the Shi family. Su Ti and the others had even deeper doubts. Was it because they knew about Zhang Manli's affair?
“The glass factory manager’s family, they might have something going on.” Suti noticed everyone was thinking about recent events.
But she preferred their house because the timing was too perfect.
"The Shi family? Those people are obviously not ordinary people. Is the Shi family related to them?"
That person had been secretly protecting Li Baichuan and the others not long after they returned, and he also knew about the people around them.
The Shi family knew that the glass factory manager's family was very low-key. He had also observed that the Shi family had no dealings with those people in that area.
"The timing is too coincidental. And since those people went to the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Reform, it proves that they came for us. Their purpose is too obvious."
Su Ti thought that if they were really targeting the Li family, it would be more likely to succeed if they started with his grandfather and the others.
The person who truly makes the decisions in the Li family is Grandpa. Although it's possible that it's difficult to take action against Grandpa, this explanation doesn't make sense.
There are still children at home. This morning, after learning something from Zhang Manli, I brought my grandmother and the others over.
They're always at home the rest of the time, and there's no one there at all, at least not in the open.
If they really target the Li family, Chaochao Hehe's side has a better chance of winning. Whether they harm the old or the young, it will be a heavy blow to them.
But just as coincidentally, just as Zhang Manli had managed to extract some information, something happened over there, and coincidentally, it was directed at them.
Too many coincidences are no longer coincidences, and Suti felt that there must be something wrong with the Shi family.
"Then let's start the investigation from the Shi family." Marshal Li made a decisive decision. Having served in the army for so many years, he knew what the man meant by what he hadn't said.
This is definitely not some trivial love affair within the Du family; there must be something behind it that they've overlooked.
People with professional training are now targeting them. He thought about the recent trends and had a plan in mind.
"Understood." The man glanced at the old marshal, which meant that all the necessary departments should be mobilized.
"Baichuan, I'll have someone ask you two for leave from your workplaces later. You can stay home for the next couple of days."
The old marshal knew the seriousness of the situation, though the two children didn't. He was fully aware of the gravity of the situation and knew very well how intense the situation was.
The more critical the moment, the more restless some people become, unsure of which side was behind it.
Perhaps they wanted to threaten him, or perhaps they wanted to cause trouble; whatever the reason, they couldn't make a move in the current situation.
“We understand, Grandpa, we’re not going anywhere.” Li Baichuan looked at his grandfather’s serious expression and vaguely knew something.
Suti's side dared to think even further. In this timeline, those four were about to fall. What if those people were sent by them?
The Li family has always kept to themselves and neither side. Now that they are on the verge of defeat, how could they possibly accept it?
Finding a strong backer is now their only way out.
