After Marrying the Officer-Chapter 932: Showdown with My Brother-in-Law

"Yes, Deputy Commander." At this moment, a subordinate’s voice came through, "It seems someone is following Xia Lan, and the person tailing her isn’t actively trying to hide their presence from me."

"So, upon observing, it seems like it’s someone from Huo Shizhang’s group."

"Huo Shiqian?" Ou Jun was slightly surprised.

But he quickly nodded and said, "If it’s him, that makes sense."

"You may leave now." Then, Ou Jun instructed his subordinate.

After dismissing the subordinate, Ou Jun pondered for a moment and couldn’t resist making a call to Huo Shiqian.

"Hello, is this Huo Shiqian? This is Ou Jun." As soon as the call connected, Ou Jun got straight to the point, "Are your people tailing and investigating Xia Lan? Have you found out anything? Does she know about Chuyi’s background?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Shiqian on the other end of the phone paused briefly and said, "This matter? Hmm, it has indeed been clarified."

"However, I plan to carve out time from my ’extremely busy schedule’ filled with many coincidental events requiring my personal attention, to tell Chuyi personally."

In Ou Jun’s words, he purposely emphasized "extremely busy schedule."

Both were smart men; upon hearing this, Ou Jun immediately knew what Huo Shiqian meant.

Indeed, Huo Shiqian had come to suspect that his sudden busyness in the past few days was due to someone tripping him up.

Coincidentally, every time he planned to visit Chuyi, unexpected work always came up.

Initially, he didn’t think much of it.

The first day, the second day, the third day—just today, he checked the task roster.

He realized that at this work rate, he probably wouldn’t be able to see Chuyi within a month.

So, after a brief contemplation, Huo Shiqian understood who was tripping him up.

"Ahem." Ou Jun coughed lightly and feigned ignorance, "Since Commander Huo is busy, I’ll relay the matter about Xia Lan to Chuyi then."

On the other end, Huo Shiqian was silent for a moment and said, "It’s not necessary."

"Just as the Deputy Commander noted, I am very busy. I’ll hang up now," Huo Shiqian said calmly, "When I’m not busy, let’s get in touch."

Then, he hung up the phone.

After Huo Shiqian disconnected the call, there was a momentary discomfort on Ou Jun’s face as he muttered, "How is Huo Shiqian so smart? He figured it out so quickly? If he tells Chuyi about this... Who knows whom Chuyi will side with."

Just not wanting to be a brother-in-law too soon, hoping to spoil his sister a bit longer, Ou Jun felt quite melancholic.

Meanwhile, on the other end, after hanging up the call, Huo Shiqian’s expression was somewhat grave.

"Commander?" Just then, Xiao Wang, who had come over to deliver documents, couldn’t help but ask his leader, "Did something happen?"

These days, the tasks assigned from above were mostly political documents rather than usual training.

Many of the subordinates who returned to Beijing with Huo Shiqian couldn’t help but suspect that someone above was trying to give their boss a hard time.

However, for anyone to challenge their boss, it would have to be one of the top figures.

If they were making moves... does that indicate that the sky of the Capital City was about to be overturned?

What was just a case of a father-in-law and brother-in-law giving a fiance a hard time was turned into a political drama in the minds of Xiao Wang and his colleagues.

"Commander, whatever happens, we will always stand by your side!" Xiao Wang said with conviction as he observed his superior’s grave expression.
