Hello, Mr. Major General Chapter 994

994 Who Dares To Attack My StaffFrom Huo Shaoheng’s hands, Assistant Yang actually accepted the command jointly signed by General Ji and Speaker Long. He read it over carefully.

It was truly Speaker Long’s signature, stamp, and even his thumbprint too…
This couldn’t possibly be forged.
Special Assistant Yang pursed his lips and passed the command back to Huo Shaoheng. “Major General Huo, what other instructions do you have for me?”
“I only want to know how such a violent incident could have occurred in your Senate.” Huo Shaoheng glanced at Gu Nianzhi. “Do you guys know who those people were? How can the Senate have such low standards that all sorts of people can dip their hands in it?”
“Major General Huo, they were… Spokespeople from the PR Department of the Prime Minister’s Office.” Special Assistant Yang felt an indescribable sense of anxiety in his heart. Straightening his gold-rimmed glasses, he said, “Actually, today’s incident was truly a misunderstanding. Major General Huo, this command says that you are maintaining order during the interim general elections, so shouldn’t that include the Senate building?”
Huo Shaoheng glanced at him. “What does the Senate building have anything to do with the interim general election?”
Special Assistant Yang froze and instinctively repeated, “What does the Senate building have anything to do with the interim general election?”
“Assistant Yang, our chief is asking you a question. Do you know how to answer it?” Huo Shaoheng’s head orderly, Fan Jian, couldn’t stand watching this anymore.
With how hesitant and slow this Special Assistant Yang was acting, he would’ve died a long ago if he’d been in the military! As if he could still work as a Special Assistant here?!
Assistant Yang’s face flushed, but he had not yet stooped to the common understanding of a soldier. He pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up once again, forcing himself to state calmly, “The Senate will be hosting the interim general elections, so the Senate building will be… the headquarters for the interim general elections.”
“It’s already the headquarters of the general interim elections, and now you’re telling everyone that maintaining order for the interim general elections does not include the Senate building?” Gu Nianzhi covered her face and walked over. “Special Assistant Yang, how about you go ask Speaker Long what on earth is going on. Major General Huo and his men are obeying orders, so why are you obstructing them?”
Special Assistant Yang pursed his lips and replied gravely, “Gu Nianzhi, I know you have a deeper relationship with Major General Huo.”
“Hold it right there!” Gu Nianzhi loathed nothing more than hearing people regard her own effort as an accessory to Huo Shaoheng. “Special Assistant Yang, this is the Senate, not a gathering place for gossip. You still have to check the lunar calendar before making up rumors and see if the day is suitable to start rumors and cause trouble. Otherwise, you’ll be arrested.”
At that moment, Huo Shaoheng understood Gu Nianzhi’s feelings to a certain extent. He realized why she resisted marrying him.
Although he didn’t mind becoming Gu Nianzhi’s support, Assistant Yang’s words didn’t sound right as soon as he’d uttered them.
Huo Shaoheng lifted his chin and inclined his head slightly to reply coolly, “Special Assistant Yang, you claim that Gu Nianzhi has a deeper relationship with me. However, she was beaten to this extent by someone, right under your nose, and in the Senate building. If she truly has a deeper relationship with me, shouldn’t you have been beaten to death by now?”
Moreover, Huo Shaoheng and Gu Nianzhi’s relationship wasn’t intimate. Everyone from the upper echelon of Huaxia society knew that Huo Shaoheng was Gu Nianzhi’s guardian, and Gu Nianzhi had been raised by Huo Shaoheng since she was 12 years old. They had dated, but they’d broken up a few months ago.
Assistant Yang stiffened, then smiled nervously. “How could that be? Major General Huo is too funny.”
“Funny? I never make jokes while executing missions.” Huo Shaoheng’s expression darkened. “Special Assistant Yang, Miss Gu came to the Senate to work as an intern. She was personally invited here by Speaker Long. Could Speaker Long not have told you about it?”
Assistant Yang was just about to argue when he realized he was in trouble no matter how he answered.
If he said that Speaker Long had told him, then his treatment of Gu Nianzhi would mean that he was disobeying orders and purposely giving her a hard time…
If he said Speaker Long had never told him, then it would be even worse. It would mean that Speaker Long had already ceased to trust him, so what would become of his dignity when he had to face all his colleagues?!
No matter if he answered yes or no, he would fall into Huo Shaoheng’s trap!
Why didn’t he know that Major General Huo, who was allegedly aloof and more psychically developed than mentally, was capable of saying something that could stun him speechless…
Special Assistant Yang closed his eyes and his expression looked very uncomfortable.
Gu Nianzhi grimaced from the sidelines, her face was burning hot and painful.
Speaker Long rushed over at that moment and quickly said to Huo Shaoheng, “Shaoheng, you’re here. I just received General Ji’s call. You finally arrived!”
Speaker Long had also asked General Ji for help because the Office of the Prime Minister had sent people over in the last two days to continually harass them.
He was worried that the Senators at the Senate would lose their heads and fall to the dirty tricks by the Office of the Prime Minister.
If that happened, it would escalate into a big news headline of “the Senate and Office of the Prime Minister Breaking Down Into a Fight.” Their interim general elections would inevitably devolve into a joke.
He must leave the professional task to the professionals.
So, the Office of the Prime Minister wanted to cause trouble and create headlines?
Speaker Long would help them find the natural enemy of the aggressive and uncouth people.
As the saying goes, when a scholar encounters a soldier, even good reason cannot be explained.
He would also let them get a taste of what it meant to suffer in silence.
General Ji wasn’t vague at all. He directly asked Huo Shaoheng to take his men to the Senate to organize military forces to maintain order.
With real soldiers on duty, they were certainly more formidable than police officers and security. Those lawless people had dared to go against the city management and attack the police and security guards. Not a single one of them dared to go against the military.
Even if they had a death wish, they wouldn’t go seeking trouble with the military.
Huo Shaoheng shook hands with Speaker Long. His expression was calm as he looked in Gu Nianzhi’s direction. “Luckily, Speaker Long had correct foresight. Those people certainly couldn’t have been handled by typical personnel. However, we still arrived one step too late and one of your subordinates was beaten up.”
Speaker Long was livid. “Who?! Who dared to attack my staff?!”
He turned around, his gaze finally pausing on Gu Nianzhi’s face.
“Nianzhi?! Your face… Did someone beat you?!”
Her right cheek had swollen into a small bump and was so red that it was a bit scary to look at.
Gu Nianzhi nodded and said with grief, “Speaker Long, I had no idea that working at your Senate also required tolerance of verbal and physical abuse. You thought too highly of me. I can’t accept this kind of toxicity.”
“What do you mean by a tolerance of verbal and physical abuse?! Nianzhi, don’t worry. You were beaten and I will surely give you justice! What a joke! Those people hit my staff members and still think they can leave unscathed?!”
The youthful-faced and white-haired Speaker Long looked at Huo Shaoheng with a furious expression. “Major General Huo, who hit Nianzhi earlier? Did you see it happen?”
“I didn’t personally see who hit her, but someone pointed the culprit out to me.” Huo Shaoheng’s gaze rested on the two people kneeling on the ground. He continued languidly, “There were originally three of them, but I’ve already sent the person who raised his hand against her to the police station. The two remaining were involved in causing trouble and disrupting the order of the interim general election. They must be dealt with severely and quickly. Speaker Long, what do you say?”
