With a tone of uncertainty, Xiao Lin's father, who was standing at the door of the plane, asked Ye Huang.
"Yes! Uncle, you can just call me Xiaoye." Nodding, Emperor Ye agreed.
Compared with the image seen in the photo, Father Xiao seemed to be more than ten years older at this moment, and his face showed fatigue.
Xiao Lin's mother, whose arm was tightly held by her, looked slightly better, but her face was also full of exhaustion.
As Chinese intelligence workers, the two of them have been settling in the United States as businessmen over the years. Although they cannot see their daughter, their living conditions are still good.
Both of them took good care of themselves.
However, the experiences of this month made the two of them grow old all of a sudden. They were constantly moved between various forces, tortured and forced to confess.
It is not easy to survive tenaciously.
"Okay, then... let me call you Xiaoye." Perhaps it was the first time he met the man his daughter mentioned on the phone, but as a father, Xiao Mingjun always felt a little bit reluctant to let go.
After saying this, Xiao Mingjun was silent for a moment.
"Xiaoye, this time, thank you."
When they said this, Xiao Mingjun and his wife both had a look of gratitude in their eyes.
As veteran espionage officers for decades, no one knows better than them what the consequences will be if their identities are exposed.
They were tortured to extract confessions, and those who spoke out were made traitors, while those who didn't were directly executed in secret.
In other words, there is no possibility of returning to the motherland alive.
It was naturally impossible for the two of them to tell state secrets. In fact, at the moment they were caught, they had already prepared for the worst.
If it weren't for Ye Huang in front of them, I'm afraid they would no longer be alive. It was Ye Huang's rescue operation that made the Mitsui family who originally planned to kill them finally choose to keep them alive, and then they were rescued.
"Haha, uncle, aunt, you are too polite. All this is what I should do. If I don't do it, Linlin will not forgive me."
Regarding Linlin's father's words, Ye Huang naturally knew what they were referring to. He smiled slightly and Ye Huang politely agreed.
Even if not from Xiao Lin's perspective, Ye Huang still felt that he had to rescue these intelligence personnel who had made great contributions to the country.
What's more, the two people in front of me are my father-in-law and mother-in-law.
If he really doesn't rescue her, Xiao Lin will resent her for the rest of her life. I'm afraid her grandfather, parents and other daughters won't let her go.
Hearing what Ye Huang said, Xiao Mingjun nodded, raised his head and glanced at the airport, with a look of disappointment on his face.
Not only him, but Mother Xiao also had a bitter look on her face.
They wanted to see a figure appear, but in the end they failed, although they did not have high hopes from the beginning to the end.
Because they know that due to work reasons over the years, the relationship between father and daughter and mother and daughter has long faded into a glass of water.
If my daughter doesn't come, she naturally has her own reasons.
However, after all, they still wanted to see that figure, so naturally they were disappointed and lost.
"Linlin fell asleep in the car. She hasn't had a good rest since uncle and aunt were arrested. She has lost a lot of weight these days. Before the plane arrived, I let her sleep in the car.
In a moment, how about I wake her up?"
Although Ye Huang wanted Xiao Lin to sleep for a while, he also knew that he had no right to let her miss the chance to meet her parents when they came back.
"No... no need, let her sleep."
Ye Huang's sudden words made the eyes of the two people who were originally disappointed suddenly brighten up. After a slight hesitation, Xiao's mother on the side shouted to Ye Huang who had turned around.
Here, Ye Huang paused and said, "I'd better wake her up. After getting in the car later, she will wake up sooner or later."
After saying that, Ye Huang walked towards the car again...
However, before he could get closer, the car door was opened by Xiao Lin from the inside.
The slight sound of the door opening not only made Ye Huang pause on the spot, but Xiao Lin's parents also froze there.
Time seemed to freeze them all at once, with only two pairs of eyes staring motionlessly in the direction of the car, breathing faster, as if waiting for the moment of reunion.
Xiao Lin's eyes were slightly red when she came out of the car, and her expression was almost the same as that of her parents. She stood blankly in the autumn wind and looked directly at each other.
In fact, Xiao Lin had already woken up when the plane landed. Through the car window, she saw her parents coming off the cabin and heard the conversation between them and Ye Huang.
Although he really wanted to go out and meet them, when he was about to put this desire into action, he found that it was not as simple as he thought.
After more than ten years of estrangement, even if the misunderstanding has been eliminated, there are some things between them that cannot be cleared up immediately after they actually meet.
However, the meeting was inevitable after all. When Ye Huang walked towards the car, she knew all this, so she simply opened the door and walked out without any further hesitation.
The moment she opened the door, she thought about saying something, but when she opened the door and stood in front of her parents, that sentence was stuck in her throat. She wanted to say it but couldn't.
Time seemed to have frozen at this moment. Here were Xiao Lin's parents, and here were Xiao Lin herself. As time passed by, the scene was still silent.
The sound of airplane engines behind me and the blowing night wind seemed to be blocked.
"Ahem, Linlin, not long after uncle and aunt arrived, I was about to call you, but I didn't expect you to wake up first."
Here, Ye Huang, who noticed this abnormal aura, coughed slightly, broke the deadlock and explained with a smile.
After glancing at Ye Huang, Xiao Lin didn't say anything, but walked towards her parents. When she was about to reach them, she suddenly stopped.
This sudden pause made Xiao Mingjun and his wife, who were already extremely nervous, feel tense. The eyes they looked at their daughter were filled with joy, bitterness and infinite guilt.
"Child... we..."
His throat moved, Xiao Mingjun wanted to say something.
"Why?"
Xiao Lin's abrupt words made him choke on what he said next.
In an instant, Xiao Mingjun and Xiao's mother turned pale.
Some things don't need to be said too clearly, but they are clear enough. They naturally understand why their daughter's words mean what they mean.
Abandoning children, abandoning parents, even if the national mission is really so important, is this all natural?
His daughter was questioning herself and torturing the two of them.
