Chapter 3967

With handsome young men helping to look after her unruly child, Xiao Le happily became a hands-off parent.

The car owners who had enjoyed the trip with the little girl yesterday had breakfast this morning, said goodbye to the little girl and her group, and set off on their journey first.

The little girl wasn't in a hurry to leave; she rested at the mountain pass for a day.

She kept her word and let a bunch of kids sleep on the ground at night.

After a day of playing wildly, the kids crawled into their sleeping bags and fell asleep immediately, so it didn't make much difference to them whether they slept outdoors or in the car.

On Sunday morning, after a day of rest, the team ate breakfast, packed up, and set off for Z province in a grand procession.

The main group of the convoy still went ahead, and the little girl had arranged everything for the kids perfectly – walking in the morning and cycling in the afternoon.

The group of boys who had completed their hike were all wilted like frostbitten eggplants when they reached their midday campsite.

It wasn't that hiking was too tiring, but rather that the wind was strong at high altitudes and the sun's ultraviolet rays were intense. After half a day, my delicate skin became dry and I turned into a little black baby from the sun.

The girls were better off walking only half the distance and staying in the car for the other half.

Boys are tough and resilient!
After just one lunch, the listless boys were fully revitalized, and in the afternoon they rode their beloved little donkeys and set off again to explore the land.

After learning that Lu Shao and Xuan Shao were traveling with the park's owner, Lan Qishao did not specifically track Xuan Shao and the others' whereabouts, since knowing their travel route was of no practical use.

He hadn't intended to monitor the ancient cultivation family's itinerary, but he found out on the morning of the first Monday of the first week in mid-August.

The reason is simple: a travel post went viral online—the poster was a driver who loved taking photos and videos, and he filmed a group of people hiking up the Kunlun Mountain pass.

The Chinese driver community is a force to be reckoned with, and they pushed the post to the top.

The post first went viral in driver groups, and then it was repeatedly recommended and spread, attracting the attention of netizens.

The power of netizens is immense; they managed to push the post to the top of Baidu's homepage and make it a trending topic.

Not long after that post became a trending topic, another related video post emerged and climbed into the top five trending topics with unstoppable momentum.

The trending video that followed was also posted by a car owner—the video he filmed showed Le Xiaotong leading a group to hold a roadside memorial ceremony.

The video is relatively complete, starting from when the procession presented the offerings and ending when the procession collected all the offerings at the end of the ceremony.

The car owner's title was also very pragmatic: "The road to heaven will endure forever, and the heroes who built it will never die."

The car owner also added a note to the video: "At the beginning of the Tianlu Road, I encountered a group of people holding a road memorial ceremony on the grass. I later learned that the leader of the group was leading a group of children on a study tour. They were commemorating the hardships of the predecessors who built the Tianlu Road and specially set up an altar to worship the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the road construction, so that the children would remember the achievements of their predecessors."

The car owner also wrote thousands of words of reflections, and the comments on the webpage were like a flowing river, never-ending.

The young man from the Lan family discovered the trending post, followed it, and recognized that there were cultivators from ancient cultivation families in the group. He promptly reported this to Seventh Young Master.

Lan Qi Shao went to watch and found familiar faces in the group—Zhou Shao, Hua Shao, Tantai Da Shao, and Chen Shao Zhu.

The driver who filmed the video was standing far away, so only parts of the faces were captured, and some people were only shown from the side.

The park owner and Xuan Shao were facing away from the car owner, so their faces weren't captured in the photos, and some of the children were only shown as blurry outlines.

Lan Qishao then looked at another trending post and found the figures of Xuan Shao, Xuan Sanshao, and Tang Shaozhu. Those handsome young men from ancient cultivation families were wearing sun hats and sunglasses, and even passing drivers couldn't get a clear picture of their faces.

The trending post revealed the whereabouts of Master Le and his group, and Lan Qishao naturally knew where Xuan Shao and his team were going.

Knowing that Xuan Shao and the others were going to Z Province, Lan Qi Shao pondered for a long time, then quietly waited for what would happen next.

The cybersecurity technicians at Sanyi Pharmaceutical also noticed the trending topic and promptly reported it to General Manager Meng.

Upon receiving the call from the network team, General Manager Meng immediately contacted Young Master Chao.

Chao Jiamei was at work and hadn't been paying attention to the trending topics. When he received a call from President Meng, he assumed it was something the company needed him to decide.

After Mr. Meng explained his purpose, the boy sighed helplessly: "Mr. Meng said that Little Rascal has been trending again??"

President Meng briefly explained the content of the trending post and then asked if it needed to be de-escalated. If so, the online team would contact Yan Shao's side to either divert traffic or shift the focus to reduce the trending topic's popularity and prevent it from attracting too much attention.

"There's no need to lower the temperature. The little rascal didn't show his face, and neither did Leshan and the group of children. There's no need to be overly alarmed."

Moreover, the post is positive, and the netizens' reactions are also positive. Letting it remain online might guide more children to learn about that period of history, inspiring them with the indomitable will of their predecessors and fostering a sense of pride and responsibility towards their country and nation.

"Okay, then we won't get involved."

With Chao Shao not worried about the safety of the young girls and boys, President Meng was also relieved.

The handsome young man, Comrade Xiao Chao, hung up the phone, opened a webpage, and searched for trending topics. Wow, in just a short while, the trending topic that President Meng mentioned had moved up another spot, squeezing out the fourth one and taking its place.

He went inside and found that the authorities had intervened—the highway management department had given their approval and issued a statement, providing the exact number of soldiers who sacrificed their lives while building the road.

Comrade Xiao Chao browsed the trending video for the fourth row of searches, then looked at the trending post at the bottom of the search results, closed the webpage, and continued working.

Their little dumpling can become a sensation even when taking a mischievous kid on a trip; if someone with her charisma were to promote a product, it would be guaranteed to sell out. He's not worried at all; if anyone should be, it's that guy Yan Shao, since Yan Shao is the little dumpling's bodyguard.

The handsome young man felt no psychological pressure and was in a good mood.

Meanwhile, Yan Shao, who should have been having a headache, was still in the desert of the Northwest. He didn't have time to take care of the little girl's outing team and was surveying sites and studying engineering projects with the bigwigs of the Ministry of National Defense in the sandstorm.

Grandpa and Grandma Chao also learned in the afternoon that Xiao Lele's group had become a trending topic, and the elderly couple enthusiastically joined the crowd to watch.

Young people love to go online. Li Shao, Deng Shao, Luo Shao, and others didn't see the trending topics until they had free time in the evening. They bombarded their childhood friend Chao Shao with phone calls and then gathered in the group chat.

They approached Chao Shao with only one purpose—to vent and discuss whether they should also organize an autumn/winter outing to relax.

Comrade Xiao Chao, who was far away in Shishi, poured cold water on the idea: "Give me a break. Those of you who are married, have you prepared the money for baby formula? Those of you who are not married, have you saved enough for your future wives?"

Young Master Li was so angry he wanted to roll his eyes: "Xiao Bo, can't you stop being such a spoilsport?"

Before you say that, figure out which month your wife will give birth, and roughly which month you'll become a father?

Li Shao: "..." Can he just shut up? His wife and Deng Shao's wife are both pregnant, expected to give birth at the end of September or October in the lunar calendar.

Luo Shao didn't say anything either. He didn't have a girlfriend yet. Although Xiao Chao didn't have a girlfriend either, he had a precious little sister. Xiao Chao was always in high demand.

Luo Shao remembered something and asked, "Young Master Chao, can I ask you something? I've been hearing my grandfather talking about something lately, and it seems to be related to a little girl. Is your sister planning some big project again?"

"Don't ask, because if you do, the answer will be yes."

The handsome young man smiled and said, "Well, you guys should find an opportunity to speak to your elders. If it's a major defense project, and there's a discussion about the approval of funding, please ask your elders to be firm in their resolve."

"I understand." They didn't understand, but they had no choice but to.

A group of childhood friends gathered together and chattered away for an hour or two before the meeting ended.

After withdrawing from the small group, Li Shao, Deng Shao, and Luo Shao turned around and went to find the heads of the families to convey Xiao Chao's intentions to them.

The heads of each family know exactly what's going on.

Then, on the third day after their younger family members "told them out," they sat in a conference room listening to a report from the Ministry of National Defense on a major project.

The meeting was held on Thursday afternoon and continued until the end of the workday, extending by half an hour.

The meeting adjourned, and the heads of each department went home.

After getting off work, Hu didn't go back to his own place, but took a detour to his parents' place.

Mr. Hu and his wife were unaware that their eldest son was coming. They had already eaten dinner, and when their eldest son arrived, there was no time to cook anything else, so the housekeeper cooked a bowl of noodles.

Even though it's just noodles, the side dishes are still quite plentiful.

Hu Yi ate a simple meal and then went to the study to talk with his father.

No one knows a son better than his father. As soon as his eldest son returned, Old Hu noticed something was wrong. He sat down in his study and immediately asked, "You look gloomy. What happened? Did one of the young men in the Hu family get into trouble?"

"The younger generation of the Hu family didn't cause any trouble, it's just..." Hu Yi rubbed his forehead, feeling exhausted: "It's just that Young Master Yan is working on another big project, it's really... unexpected."

"About national defense?" Old Hu paused, "Does it have anything to do with the Chao family?"

"On the surface it's a matter for the defense department, but judging from the reactions of Yan Shao, Meng Lao, Mr. Du, the Xu family, and others, it's still the child's doing."

What project is it?

"A powerful weapon for combat, capable of both sea and air operations. The one designed solely for air use is the new aircraft that made its debut at last year's military parade."

"..."

Old Hu's silence was indeed unexpected.

Fighter jets have always been the blades of the air, while submarines are the weapons of the water. If successful, making fighter jets usable for both air and sea would be like adding wings to a tiger.

This project is something that no one can stop, nor should anyone attempt to stop.

Old Hu did not comfort his son; even the most eloquent words of solace are empty and have no practical effect.

After much deliberation, he made a decision: "Find an opportunity to transfer Hu Ruixian to another region."

Hu looked troubled: "I'm afraid the child won't agree, and Old Wu won't agree either."

"The current situation is clear. Letting Ruixian go away from the capital might allow him to go further. If he insists on staying in the capital, all his efforts will be in vain."

"..."

Hu Yi felt inferior to his father's wisdom. He talked with his father in the study for more than an hour, but did not stay overnight and returned to his own residence.
