This rhetorical question made Shangguan Wan 'er slightly stunned. She was a smart girl, so she immediately understood the subtext of her grandfather's words.
"Grandpa, do you mean that the Zhao family can't do anything to him, and he won't be in any danger?" Shangguan Wan 'er asked eagerly.
"Well, I can't say for sure whether he will be in danger or not, but this is a kind of experience for him. The Zhao family plays a pivotal role in Yuncheng. He has set off such a big storm with his own strength, so that the old foxes around Yuncheng have received the news. Anyone who wants to really grow up must go through setbacks and tribulations, especially the test of life and death, which is unavoidable. Do you understand?" Commander Shangguan said unhurriedly. Seeing his granddaughter's depressed look, he paused and added.
"Although I don't want you to be sad, I'm also looking forward to how far this guy can jump. Don't worry. If he can't bear it, I'll help him appropriately," Commander Shangguan said seriously, with a trace of expectation on his face.
To be honest, he rarely devoted so much energy to pay attention to a young junior. After all, at this level, there were too many things to do every day. In addition, he was physically ill, so he had the will but the strength.
Because when he was young, he was famous for working hard. As long as he set his mind on something, he would race against time to perfect it. Once, he studied Sun Tzu's Art of War and didn't sleep for three days and three nights. Nowadays, he had no choice but to accept his old age. However, there were some important things that he had to do personally. Otherwise, it would be easy for things to go wrong. For the past few decades, he had been working hard every day. Even during the Spring Festival, he didn't rest. He was like an iron man.
In fact, he had also thought about cultivating a right-hand man, so that he could retreat to the second line and enjoy the happiness of not paying attention to the outside world. But Commander Shangguan found that it was not easy.
Although he had a grandson, Shangguan Jie, people who were close to him knew that he adopted Shangguan Jie more than ten years ago. At that time, his son and daughter-in-law were assassinated by his enemies, and even his granddaughter Shangguan Wan 'er was missing. This matter brought great grief to him, so he became a veritable lonely old man.
When he was old, he hoped to have a son or a daughter by his side. Although there were many people who wanted to flatter him and wanted to recognize him as an adopted son or daughter, none of them agreed. How could he not know what those people were thinking? He found an excuse, saying that he was afraid that those gangsters on the border would continue to attack him cruelly, which scared those people away.
After more than a year, Commander Shangguan had been trying his best to find Wan 'er, but because he went to travel in other provinces and the monitoring conditions were limited at that time, he did not find any clues.
In addition, Wan 'er had been confined to the nightclub and rarely came out. She did not wear the jade pendant, so it was not discovered until recently. Wan' er was a kind girl. She did not mention the nightclub and did not allow her grandfather to investigate it, so as not to blame Chief Feng. At least, she still maintained a clean body. Chief Feng still had credit for this, but he had kept her for more than ten years before she could be returned to the rightful owner. It could be said that the merits and demerits were offset.
Because there was no news of Wan 'er for a year or two, out of grief, Shangguan Guoqiang went to the orphanage to adopt a child, who was Shangguan Jie. He was relatively eccentric and very vigilant, but he had perseverance and was not afraid of hard work.
At that time, Commander Shangguan brought a lot of snacks, and those children all grabbed them. Only he looked at them helplessly. Even if the snacks were offered to him, he did not dare to eat them, for fear that they had been tampered with. It was precisely because of this that Commander Shangguan favored him. It should be known that his position was not as glorious as ordinary people thought. If he did not have some vigilance, he would die very quickly.
After years of training, Shangguan Jie had also become an iron-blooded man. He was excellent in all aspects, but he had a strong desire for benefits and was even a little eager for quick success. He had boasted several times at banquets and other occasions that even the position of commander-in-chief could not satisfy his ambition.
Commander Shangguan was not ready to ask him to take over, but he was so arrogant. However, the appearance of Shangguan Wan 'er gave him a little hope. It was just that Wan' er was a weak girl and could not bear such a heavy responsibility. The most ideal was to find a suitable in-law. Even if it was the position of commander-in-chief, it would not be Shangguan Jie's turn.
This was also the reason why Shangguan Jie was not friendly to Shangguan Wan 'er after she returned home, and there was no family affection to speak of.
According to Commander Shangguan's current physical condition and busy degree, he should not be able to hold on for another three to five years. Because he had made outstanding military achievements and was loyal to the country, his power was very great. In Nanyun Province, he was almost an existence that could not be disobeyed. Because of this, he had to take a longer view and make some preparations.
Hearing Grandpa's promise, Shangguan Wan 'er could not help crying with joy. "Grandpa, you are the best. Wan' er will not embarrass you."
Commander Shangguan sighed softly and showed a gratified expression.
"I know nothing about the Shangguan family. That sweet and lovely little Lolita is silently contributing, only hoping that I can live a stable life."
At the same time, in a hidden room of Zhao's Martial Arts Club in Yun City, a black cloth with the word "Zhao" was hanging at the door.
A middle-aged man stood at the door with a face full of fear.
"Thunder, oh Thunder, have your wings hardened?
Laozi told you not to provoke Zhuang Feng, but you didn't listen. "In the room, Old Master Zhao's cold voice came out.
"Dad, calm down. It's not that I want to provoke him. That brat is so aggressive, and blackmailed my Zhao Group for ten to twenty million. I know that money is a small matter, but my Zhao family's face is very important!"
Hearing this cold tone, Zhao Leiting could not help but shiver. It was rare to see Old Master Zhao so angry. Could it be that Zhuang Feng is really that terrifying?
At this time, a gust of wind blew the black cloth, and a figure slowly walked out. It was Old Master Zhao. His face was slightly dark, and he was wearing a long robe. If I was present, I would definitely be shocked.
Because, Lord Zhao's right sleeve was actually filled to the brim, as if something was wriggling. However, his right hand was replaced by a black snake head. That snake head seemed to have discovered its prey, and faintly stared at Zhao Leiting.
This scared him to the point that he peed his pants. I haven't seen him for a few days, but Old Master Zhao is playing with snakes. The most important thing is that his right hand suddenly disappeared!
"Zhi zhi."
The snake head spat out its tongue, and suddenly moved forward, opening its bloody mouth. When it was only a few centimeters away from Zhao Leiting's face, Old Master Zhao shook his right shoulder, and then retracted the snake head.
