Grandfather Huo wasn't just any senior official. Even though he had already retired, he was still the second in command of the Supreme council of the army.
A mere soldier on duty could not bear the consequences of his health.
This soldier got a shock. The one beside him began talking: "Since senior official isn't feeling well, we can let you pass immediately."
This was considered a special situation, and was acceptable even without the approval of the Lieutenant Colonel on duty.
Also, they had already gone through with the steps of procedure. Technically, they were the ones at fault if they didn't let them through.
The two soldiers made their decisions.
They went back to the guardhouse. One of them called the mansion to inform them of the visitors, while the other went to raise the barrier.
The barrier rose immediately.
Grandfather Huo's driver stepped on the accelerator and sped in.
