The call was connected within two minutes, and a somewhat steady but gloomy voice came from the other end, "Hello? You shouldn't be calling me during this time."
On hearing the voice on the other end, the elderly man was clearly a bit angry.
He had a good relationship with the person on the other side of the phone, so he complained directly, "Uncle Zhao! You must have noticed what's been happening recently."
"Do you think this is a matter of timing?"
"If this continues, we're all going to be dragged down by that Zhang Yonghao!"
The person on the other end didn't respond, perhaps because he had nothing to say or couldn't speak, but his silence remained.
Seeing him like that, the elderly man took a deep breath, exhaled, and then said, "Alright. I understand it's inconvenient for you to speak."
"So I won't say much more."
"I'll get straight to the point."
He paused and said, "I've decided to withdraw my support for Zhang Yonghao."
