Chapter 372 His daughter will not be handed over to others so easily.
Then she saw the man touching her head, a very intimate gesture.
The man at the head of the group was Commander Liang. He narrowed his eyes as he watched his daughter and the man's intimate behavior.
It must be admitted that the man was handsome, had an outstanding temperament, and exuded a noble and dignified air, making him a suitable match for his daughter.
I just don't know his identity, or whether his character is a good match for her...
Just then, the man tilted his head, turned his face several times, and most of his face came into view.
It turned out to be him.
Commander Liang looked at it thoughtfully for a while, until a staff member from the resort came over and said, "Sir, the Secretary-General invites you in."
Commander Liang snapped out of his reverie and nodded slightly: "Hmm."
Continue walking forward.

Yan Zhixu and Xu Chaofeng left through a side door of the hall and followed a dark path to the villa in the central courtyard of the mountain resort.
The resort covers a large area and consists of three large houses: front, middle and rear. The reception area is located at the front and is used to entertain distinguished business guests.
Tonight, the business event reception is just a pretext; in reality, several important figures will take this opportunity to gather in the atrium for a private meeting.
Yan Zhixu was one of them.
Upon reaching the entrance, even Xu Chaofeng was turned away, with only Yan Zhixu allowed to enter.
Yan Zhixu withdrew his gaze from the several people standing ramrod straight at the door, his expression calm, and continued walking inside with composure.
Several solemn-faced men sat upright in the large study.
Of the group, he had only met two people before: Secretary-General Song, whom he had received the previous night, and Brigade Commander Gu, whom he had visited when he was hospitalized.
Yan Zhixu looked around, his gaze finally settling on the person in the very center, lingering for two seconds.
They are indeed father and daughter; they look quite alike.
Secretary-General Song stood up first, smiling as he greeted, "President Yan has finally arrived. Come, let me introduce you, this is..."
They were all high-ranking military and political officials, and Yan Zhixu stepped forward and shook hands in response.
When it was the middle person's turn, Secretary-General Song's attitude became even more respectful: "This is Commander Liang of the XX Military Region."
Yan Zhixu reached out to Commander Liang, meeting his gaze directly: "Commander Liang, I've heard so much about you."
Although Commander Liang was seated, he exuded a powerful aura. He looked up at him with a slightly distant expression, and after about three seconds, he raised his hand to touch him: "Nice to meet you."
Commander Liang sat next to Brigade Commander Gu. Before Secretary-General Song could introduce them, he stood up casually and took the initiative to shake hands with Yan Zhixu: "We've met before, Comrade Yan, you haven't forgotten, have you?"
Yan Zhixu smiled slightly and said, "Commander Gu is too kind. Thank you for visiting me in the hospital that day."
Commander Gu patted his arm: "How's the injury? You seem to be moving around freely, so it should be almost healed, right? It's good to be young, you recover quickly. Hey, was it this hand or that hand again?"
Yan Zhixu: "The military hospital takes very good care of the wounded. I am much better now. Thank you for your concern. It's my left hand."
Brigade Commander Gu: "I remember you were injured on your forehead. Luckily it wasn't on your face, otherwise it would have been a pity to ruin such a handsome face as Comrade Yan."
Yan Zhixu smiled and said, "You're joking."
Secretary-General Song asked in surprise, "Is President Yan injured?"
Yan Zhixu said tactfully, "I had a little accident a while ago and stayed in the hospital for a few days, but I'm fine now."
He spoke casually, but his few words with Commander Gu revealed an unusual meaning. Everyone present was shrewd and quickly understood the implications.
At such a critical juncture, an accident occurred, and the person was hospitalized—in a military hospital no less—and they haven't received any news yet.
But the military found out, and since the military was involved, the news was definitely blocked.
As for the reason for the blockade... that's intriguing.
Commander Liang's phone vibrated briefly. He glanced at it and saw it was a message from his entourage outside.
Without making a sound, I picked it up and opened it.
The screen showed a photo of Liang Liangwei talking to someone at a cocktail party. She was wearing a moon-white haute couture gown, with exquisite makeup and a valuable diamond necklace around her neck.
He was wearing a men's black overcoat draped over his shoulders.
Commander Liang slightly raised his sharp eyes and looked at Yan Zhixu, who was sitting in a single sofa.
Because of the cold weather, all the men present were wearing coats, which they took off after entering the room, so they hung them on the coat rack by the door.
But he didn't wear it inside; he was only wearing a black suit. If he were outside, he probably wouldn't be able to stand the temperature.
Commander Liang recalled seeing him drape his coat over his daughter's shoulders when he arrived, and the way he doted on her was so tender that it left no room for criticism.
Commander Liang was indeed somewhat surprised. Was this the boyfriend his daughter had mentioned?
Did he know her identity?
Is he genuinely kind to her, or does he have ulterior motives?
Regardless, he will not so easily hand over his daughter to someone else.
No matter how much importance the person is placed on by higher-ups, it's the same.
……
After a private conversation that lasted for more than half an hour, the matter was nearing its end, and the group slowed down, turning the conversation into casual chatter.
Commander Gu seemed to realize something, so he first gave Commander Liang a meaningful look before asking Yan Zhixu, "The reception earlier tonight should allow female companions. Did Comrade Yan bring his girlfriend tonight as well?"
Commander Liang glanced at Yan Zhixu without making a sound.
Yan Zhixu noticed his gaze and became inexplicably nervous. She smiled and said, "She's here. She knows someone and is having fun at the party. I'll go back to find her in a bit."
Commander Liang turned to look at Brigade Commander Gu sitting next to him and asked casually, "You suddenly mentioned his girlfriend. What, do you know her?"
Brigade Commander Gu hadn't mentioned to Commander Liang that he'd seen Liang Liangwei in Yan Zhixu's hospital room last time. When asked, he chuckled awkwardly and said, "No, I was just asking. Comrade Yan is young and promising; he must have some pretty girls with him. Tonight's business reception is so important; everyone else is with their wives and girlfriends. It would be boring for him to come alone to see us rough men, so hehe..."
Secretary-General Song laughed and said, "It's normal for a young and talented man to have a girlfriend. I even had the idea of introducing her to President Yan yesterday, but luckily I didn't mention it, otherwise I was afraid it would have upset him."
Yan Zhixu smiled lightly: "Thank you for thinking so highly of me."
Secretary-General Song: "I'll introduce you to my girlfriend another time when I have the chance."
Meeting today involves confidential matters, so it's naturally inappropriate.
Yan Zhixu nodded: "Of course."
After the chat ended, Yan Zhixu stood up, shook hands with the others to say goodbye, and left the courtyard first.
Xu Chaofeng followed him.
Walking along the dark path, Yan Zhixu lowered his eyes in deep thought.
Halfway there, he suddenly stopped and turned his head.
Xu Chaofeng thought he had some instructions, so she immediately stepped forward to listen.
Yan Zhixu: "What will you do if your future father-in-law doesn't have a good impression of you?"
Xu Chaofeng was stunned: "...Huh?"
Yan Zhixu looked at him for a while, then suddenly scoffed, "Why should I ask you? You don't even have a girlfriend."
Continue walking forward while looking back.
Xu Chaofeng: "..."
Is this... mocking him?
