I hurriedly said: "No, it was given to me by a friend. It's not worth much. You can't come empty-handed, so -" I smiled. He sat down, looked at it and said, "I'll take it back later, even if
I can't accept even a few hundred yuan. We are fellow villagers. When I came out, I was only 16 years old. I came out to serve as a soldier when I was 16 years old. I treat everyone who comes from my hometown as my family, especially you, a kid who is better than me.
My little girl is still young, please sit down!"
I sat down respectfully. After sitting down, he asked someone to pour two cups of tea. He picked it up, blew on it, took a sip and said, "Is she your girlfriend?"
I nodded quickly and said: "Well, yes, uncle, she is actually not a bad person. She just wants to do something for her hometown and has her own ideals. But you know that in our place, it is difficult to use this project without doing something to express it."
Get it, we don’t actually need much money, she is a woman with too many ideals——"
He smiled and looked at me and said, "You are very affectionate. I heard that she is older than you?"
I said: "Well, she is older than me!"
"I don't think you are old, you are in your twenties, right?"
I said, "I'm over thirty. I look a bit young, but I'm actually quite a bit younger!"
"Well, it's like this, Xiao Lin, I heard my eldest brother say it, and he said the same thing. He talked about the local situation. You don't know that our family was poor when we were young. My eldest brother had never read a book. He did it for me at that time.
I suffered too much in my studies. Our father passed away early. As a eldest brother, I have to do everything for him that he drags me to do. He is getting older. He is particularly sad about your matter. He
Say how filial you are to him, how sensible you are, good boy, I feel really good when I see you, that's right, why did I call you here? Because I want to know your specific things, and my elder brother can't tell you.
, it would be difficult for me to handle it if I didn’t understand your situation!”
I hurriedly said: "Well, yes, uncle, you are right. I am here just to let you know more about things, because this involves-"
He smiled and said: "I know, Yao Wanshan, right?"
I said: "Well, yes, there are some misunderstandings!"
"It's okay, just say what you have to say, there's no need to avoid it, don't hide anything!"
I said: "Well, Bai Ling wanted to bribe him at first. He asked his secretary to collect it for him. This way it would not be easy for others to know. Even if he was found out, someone would be the scapegoat. Now that secretary has disappeared, I suspect
He arranged this deliberately!"
Long Yongqiang nodded and said: "Yes, we are investigating him now. This matter is very critical at the moment. If we can't catch that person, it will be difficult to prove that he has been embezzled and bribed. Xiaolin, don't tell anyone about this matter -
—”
I hurriedly said: "Uncle, I won't, I have a problem with him, and now I just want to make my lover safe, uncle -"
He nodded and said: "Xiao Lin, don't worry, the worst thing won't be too bad, but if you can't catch that person, Bai Ling will definitely be in trouble. It seems that no one can control this, because now this matter
He was brought out by Cha Yao Wanshan. The higher-ups wanted to investigate him, but Bai Ling was found. It’s impossible to deal with this matter if it is kept secretive——"
I said, "If that person can be caught, can Bai Ling reduce the risk a little bit?"
He smiled and said: "That's what I meant. In that case, the focus is not on her at all. If something happens to Yao Wanshan, it will be a big thing, and it will almost cause a sensation in the country. By then, Bai Ling's matter will be
We can properly consider special circumstances and also
After all, her father had made contributions to the country back then, and she has been contributing to the construction of Bincheng these years. We can all understand that we need to do things like this for projects. This is not her fault, only a certain person.
These officials did not do practical things for the people, which resulted in such consequences."
Hearing what Long Yongqiang said, I finally felt relieved. What he meant was that if Yao Wanshan could be killed, Bai Ling would not have a big problem. But how to kill Yao Wanshan, apart from catching that person, is there anything else?
Other ways?
I thought in my heart, Yao Wanshan, our acquaintance was purely accidental. If it were not for Yirou, we would not have known each other, and nothing would have happened later. Logically speaking, I saved Yirou, so you should not treat me like this.
Why do people like you not only don't remember the kindness but also treat us like this?
Human hearts are made of flesh, why are you so despicable?
In that case, I will definitely do anything, as long as I can get rid of you, I am willing to do it, for my lover, and for the sake of the folks in Bincheng.
Long Yongqiang said: "Xiao Lin, let's not talk about this for now. Let's eat first. Since you have come so far, I'll entertain you well and we can talk while eating!"
I nodded.
Next, he arranged for us to have dinner at the summer resort. The room was in his villa. Da Mao and I had a meal with him. During the meal, Da Mao was very excited. He opened his mouth for a long time and wanted to talk. Finally
I don’t know what to say, maybe it’s the first time for him to see such a big person, and it’s also the first time for me to see such a big person.
"Xiao Lin, don't be formal. It's okay. It's hard for us people to make friends with ordinary people. You are a very sensible kid. Don't worry about your lover. You can play here for two days and have a good rest!"
I said: "Well, uncle, thank you, but I'm afraid I have to go back tomorrow. I'm afraid she will be worried if she is there alone without any news from me!"
"Well, that's fine, it's rare for a boy with such affection and righteousness like you -" When he said this, he suddenly answered a phone call, which was brought over by his guard. He pressed the phone and answered the call.
"Hey, it's Xiaomo, what's wrong? You want to come here to play? With your classmates? Come on, I'll have someone pick you up!"
Putting down the phone, he said with a smile: "My little girl is so naughty. She is 27 or 28 years old and she still acts like a child. She wants to come over to play with her classmates. I really like the fun and dote on this child!"
I nodded.
I want to be born into such a family and be born with superiority. I don’t need to put in much effort to achieve success.
"Many people are prejudiced against us, but it's actually not that complicated. Our children are quite motivated. They graduated from Oxford University entirely through their own efforts. After returning to China, I asked her to introduce me.
She was very unwilling to do things, and said she didn’t want to take advantage of me. She wanted to start a business based on her own strength, and I didn’t influence her children’s ideas——”
I said: "Many people's rumors are just because they don't understand, and they don't know much about the things involved. Many of them are suspected of exaggeration——"
"Well, hehe, by the way, Xiao Lin, although you are not old, we seem to be able to chat. In this way, when you go back this time, tell them, just like what I said, be nice to your lover.
After all, women can’t bear the trouble, as long as they are on call when the time comes, the main reason is that we have to handle this big case and it involves you!"
I quickly raised my glass and said, "Uncle, let me toast you again, thank you!"
He hurriedly said: "No, no need to bow, let's drink together. Come here, kid, let's drink together!"
I drank it all. Uncle Long made me change my previous view of them. I felt that he was a very good person. I want to know Mr. Long and his brothers. This is a very lucky thing for me in this life. If
Without them, we would be facing an opponent like Yao Wanshan, and we would really have nothing to do.
So while we are facing many hardships, we are also lucky. It seems that at every crisis, we will meet some noble people. Is this considered fate?
When I saw Uncle Long being so amiable, I knew that we might not be far away from that happiness and that light.
Just when we were almost done eating, I heard a girl's voice outside.
I turned around and saw a girl looking at us quietly.
