Starting as a town mayor, he rose through the ranks.

Hearing her father's words, Xiao Zhen's expression became somewhat unnatural. She forced a smile, nodded, and said, "I called Brother Lin and told him about Xiao Chuan..."

"Hmph! If you call Xiaolin, he'll definitely call and resolve this, but you still want me to ask for your help, which means Xiaochuan is in the wrong..."

Seeing his daughter trying to cover something up for her son-in-law Jin Qingping, Xiao Hu sneered in dissatisfaction.

Then, he stared intently at his daughter and reprimanded her sternly.

"Dad! Regardless of whether Xiaochuan is in the right or not, he's already been beaten, and it was done by members of the inspection team who violated regulations and discipline. Can't you do something about it?"

Seeing her father like this, Xiao Zhen couldn't help but complain, slightly annoyed.

Then, after a pause, she said, "Dad! I know you don't know Qingping and look down on him, but even if you don't like him, he's still your son-in-law, and Xiaochuan is your grandson. Do you really want to see your son-in-law being bullied and your grandson being beaten...?"

"I know this young comrade Luo Zhiguo. Although he is young and impetuous, he always puts the people's interests first. Since he investigated Shunping County and even took Xiao Chuan into custody, it means there is something wrong with him. As for the beating, that's a matter between children. The Tong family will handle it naturally. I don't need to get involved. I don't have the influence to talk to the Tong family..."

Xiao Hu knew his daughter very well, so he wasn't fooled by her act.

Seeing that her father was really unwilling to show up, Xiao Zhen stood up and left the courtyard in a huff.

"Brother! Your nephew is about to be beaten to death, are you going to do something about it?"

After leaving the courtyard, Xiao Zhen drove straight away and then dialed her elder brother Xiao Long's number. Xiao Hu had a son and a daughter; his son, Xiao Long, served as the vice governor of another province.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Long frowned slightly and scolded her with displeasure, "Xiao Zhen! How old are you? You still talk so unreliably..."

"Brother! I'm telling the truth. The inspection team went to Shunping County to investigate, and they detained Xiao Chuan. Then the Tong family beat Xiao Chuan up..."

"The Tong family!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Long was somewhat surprised. Clearly, he hadn't expected the Tong family to actually attack Jin Chuan.

After thinking for a moment, he asked in a deep voice, "Xiao Zhen! Tell me the truth, what happened? Why did the Tong family members attack Xiao Chuan?"

"What else could it be! It's because Shunping County was investigated by the inspection team, and they insisted that Xiao Chuan admit to certain things, but Xiao Chuan refused to give in. Just now, some members of the inspection team were from the Tong family, and then they beat Xiao Chuan..."

Upon hearing her elder brother's words, Xiao Zhen immediately recounted the story, half-truthfully and half-falsely.

Furthermore, she dared not mention her husband, Kim Cheong-pyeong, throughout the entire conversation, because, like her father, her elder brother also disliked Kim Cheong-pyeong very much.

If she hadn't insisted on marrying him back then, and if she hadn't already been pregnant, her family probably wouldn't have agreed to her being with Jin Qingping.

Who is Xiao Long? As soon as he heard what the little sister said, he immediately knew that there was a lot of exaggeration in it.

After thinking it over, he decided to call his father to inquire about the situation, to see if the attack on Xiao Chuan by the younger generation of the Tong family was just a matter between children, or if the Tong family was targeting him. He couldn't help it; being in the system, he had to think things through.

"I understand. I'll make a call first..."

He ignored his sister, left a message, and hung up the phone. He immediately called his father, Xiao Hu.

"Did your sister call you?"

Before he could speak, Xiao Hu asked.

"Dad! Is this a matter between the younger generation in the Tong family, or is there something else going on?"

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Long still asked.

"Hmph! Jin Qingping caused trouble in Shunping County, and Luo Zhiguo went down to investigate. He probably found out quite a bit, which is why he took measures against Xiao Chuan. During the interrogation, Xiao Chuan probably acted impulsively, so the Tong family juniors just taught him a lesson. It's nothing, don't worry about it, and I won't interfere. The political environment in South China Province is very bad right now, and it's time to clean it up..."

Xiao Hu explained in a loud voice, then said sternly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Long secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, with a serious expression, he said, "Although I'm no longer in South China Province, I've heard that Jin Qingping is very high-profile in his dealings. This time, he should be taught a lesson. As for Xiao Chuan, he's been spoiled by my sister and Jin Qingping. A little discipline will do him good..."

"I know Luo Zhiguo; he's a decent person, so let's leave this matter alone. I trust he'll handle it fairly and wouldn't bully anyone..."

Xiao Hu made the decision immediately, without offering any opinion from Xiao Long. After ending the call, he dialed his sister Xiao Zhen's number: "Little sister! I've looked into this matter and consulted Father. Father and I have both decided that we won't interfere..."

"Brother! Xiao Chuan is your own nephew! Are you really going to just stand by and watch him get bullied and beaten up...?"

Xiao Zhen's face darkened, and she said angrily.

Xiao Long frowned slightly and said sternly, "Little sister! I don't want to talk about the others, but look what you've spoiled Xiao Chuan by all these years. He's arrogant, domineering, and will do anything. If this continues, he'll cause big trouble sooner or later. This lesson he just learned will be good for him..."

"Brother! If you're not going to help, then don't. Why talk about my son like that? Let me tell you, even without you and Dad, I can still handle this. I can't afford to offend the Tong family, but I don't even consider Luo Zhiguo a threat..."

Hearing her older brother scolding his son, Xiao Zhen, the spoiled young lady, lost her temper and immediately started arguing.

Immediately afterwards, she hung up the phone with her older brother and drove to Shunping County.

"Hello, Secretary Zhou!"

On the way, she drove while thinking about how to solve the problem.

Immediately afterwards, she picked up her phone and dialed Zhou Qingfeng, the Party Secretary of Jianghai City.

"Oh, it's Director Xiao! Hello, Director Xiao, did you call me with any instructions?"

Xiao Zhen was a young lady of the Xiao family, so Zhou Qingfeng was very polite to her. "How dare I give orders to a high-ranking official like you!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhen smiled politely and then got to the point, saying, "Secretary Zhou! I'm calling to ask you for a favor..."

"Director Xiao, please let me know if you need anything. I will definitely not refuse to help if it's in my way..."

Zhou Qingfeng said very readily.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhen's eyes lit up, and she immediately recounted the events in Shunping County.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Secretary Zhou! Although Luo Zhiguo is part of the inspection team, he can't just cause trouble and affect the economic development of a county. So, do you think there's any way to get him to leave Shunping County early..."
