The county government guesthouse is located a short distance from the county governmental offices in a small building, where departments of the county typically entertain visiting higher-level officials for inspections.
At that moment, the receptionist at the first-floor lobby saw a group of soldiers escorting three elderly leaders inside. She promptly stepped out from behind the counter to greet them, knowing that while working here one must be astute.
Xiao Zhou and his group presented their credentials, and soon completed the check-in process. Following the receptionist, they went up to the second floor, inspected the rooms, and nodded in satisfaction, leaving two large suites for Mr. Cheng, Mr. Lin and others, each choosing rooms on both sides, carrying the hot water provided by the receptionist to wash up and rest.
After the rooms were allocated, Zhou Xiaozheng left his wife Lin Lishan to accompany Mr. Lin, and went to the end of the second floor. Zhou Xiaozheng knocked on the door and entered the room of Mr. and Mrs. Cheng, where this large suite’s outer living room already had Mr. Cheng’s couple waiting along with Cheng Sijin.
Old Mrs. Cheng smiled and pulled him to sit down, "Is everything settled outside? Let your wife handle it. We have some things that are best kept away from outsiders."
Zhou Xiaozheng smiled and nodded, sitting down, realizing that while many things today were anticipated, some had transcended his expectations. He still desired to learn more about his parents.
Cheng Sijin, with a serious expression, said, "Brother, tonight you need to make time to talk with us. Knowing we found you, I didn’t even request leave and came along. It was a task my grandfather entrusted before his passing. Additionally, there are matters regarding the Zhou Family and Gu Family to discuss with you. Especially Gu Family’s affairs that you need to consider thoroughly."
Old Mrs. Cheng patted Zhou Xiaozheng’s hand, sighed, and looked at him, hesitated yet ultimately said nothing.
