Zhang Youbin looked at the old man in front of him and was shocked beyond words!
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I would meet a relative who I had been hiding from for sixteen years and did not want to face him. The old man in front of me, except that he was much older than before, had not changed much in appearance and temperament.
Zhang Youbin almost immediately recalled in his mind the memories he had left for him, that old man who had a strong character but was also very irritable, dictatorial and even a bit arrogant.
Ever since Zhang Youbin can remember, he has always been very afraid of his grandfather. He is very strict, whether it is his father, uncle, or himself. He always likes to set the path that his descendants will take for decades or even a lifetime.
He planned everything out, and then personally paved his ideal path, forcing his descendants to walk on it without looking back.
If it hadn't been for his persecution, how could his father have taken his mother and himself to the Middle East for peace and quiet?
If it weren't for his persecution, how could his parents have died in a foreign country, and how could he have been on such a life trajectory now?
However, Zhang Youbin did not hate him. He knew in his heart that no matter how majestic or dictatorial this old man was, he was devoted to his children and grandchildren. In the past sixteen years, he was probably more miserable than himself.
But now that he is asking himself this, how should he answer...
Zhang Youbin had mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't speak for a long time, but his eyes were already red.
"Grandpa..." After a while, Zhang Youbin called out softly, somewhat absent-mindedly.
"Quiet, grandpa is here." The old man suddenly burst into tears, filling his eyes, overflowing, and filling the grooves between the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
Lei Ming and Qimei stood at the door, watching from a distance. They were not prepared to disturb the old man because he seemed extremely fragile now.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry for you...I've made you suffer so much for so many years..."
The old man slowly approached Zhang Youbin and said at a loss: "Grandpa, over the years, there is not a day that goes by that I don't think about you and your dead parents. There is not a day that goes by that I don't blame myself and feel guilty for the mistakes I have made.
I have been tortured for many years. I just hope to confirm that you are still alive and see you again before I am buried. Now it seems that God still has mercy on my old bones..."
Zhang Youbin's breathing accelerated a little. Family love, something he had never thought about for so many years, was suddenly placed in front of him. He was caught off guard and didn't know how to deal with it.
"I have lived a good life these years, you don't have to feel guilty for me..." Zhang Youbin said nervously: "I never thought that one day I would... be able to face you like today, so I didn't know
I should say something, it seems like I want to say everything, but I can’t say anything.”
Zhang Jiadong smiled and shook his head, walked up and squatted in front of Zhang Youbin, stroked Zhang Youbin's hand and said, "If you can't say it, don't say it. Grandpa will take you home!"
"Go home?!" Zhang Youbin muttered, his mind in confusion.
"Yes. Go home! Don't worry, as long as grandpa is here, no one can do anything to you, not even the King of Heaven!"
Only then did Zhang Jiadong notice the two bright red finger prints on Zhang Youbin's face. He suddenly woke up and turned to Director Liu who was scared into a puddle of mud in the corner and asked: "Is the injury on my grandson's face yours?"
Beaten?"
"General... General. Chief... Chief..." Bureau Liu was trembling all over. He thought Zhang Youbin was a sparrow in his hand, but he didn't expect that this sparrow would be the grandson of a dignified general...
…
After making a big fool of Lou Zi, Bureau Liu felt that he was completely screwed this time...
The fingerprints on Zhang Youbin's face were clearly caused not long after the beating. In addition, besides Zhang Youbin, there was only Bureau Liu in the room. Zhang Jiadong immediately sternly ordered Chen Yaoguang next to him: "Tie up this bastard."
Take him back to the military area and send him back to Qincheng Military Prison! As long as I live, no one can try to bail him out!"
As he said that, the old man added: "Don't have any scruples on the road, just take good care of him for me!"
"Yes!" Chen Yaoguang now finally understood why the commander was so angry. Oh dear, it's amazing that you dare to play with the general's grandson who has been separated for sixteen years like this. If nothing else, a mouthful of spit from one person in the military area is enough to drown this guy.
More than a hundred times!
Chen Yaoguang looked at the frightened Director Liu and said with a funny face: "Okay, boy, stop shaking. If you pee your pants later, I won't let you get in the car. I will tie you with a rope and drag you behind the car."
Go back to the military area!"
Director Liu was so frightened that he was about to have a heart attack. He kept mumbling: "Chief, I am from the Security Department...not under the control of the military."
"If it's not under the control of the military? Then whether it's under the control of the party?" Zhang Jiadong rolled his eyes, blew his beard and glared at him angrily, and shouted angrily: "If it's not under the control of the army, I will also control it! If you are not satisfied, let your minister do it.
Talk to me!"
Bureau Liu immediately withered like an eggplant beaten by frost. Qincheng Military Prison? It sounds creepy. If this guy goes in by himself, will he still be able to see the sun?
"Please, Chief, I was wrong, I never dare to do it again, please, I apologize to Mr. Zhang, I apologize to you, please spare me!" Director Liu cried bitterly while being tied up by the special forces.
Begging for mercy with tears in his eyes.
Zhang Jiadong ignored him at all and shouted outside: "Let the person in charge come over and unlock my grandson for me! I will shoot him later!"
The warden hurriedly called the guard in charge. The guard walked in and tremblingly untied all the locks that bound Zhang Youbin. Zhang Jiadong helped Zhang Youbin up with his own hands and said with great love: "Go home with grandpa, you
Grandma is still waiting for you at home..."
"Grandma..." Zhang Youbin thought of the old man who was always so kind. She was always so tolerant and doting on every descendant in the family.
Qimei kept staring at Zhang Youbin at the door, with tears of joy streaming down her face. Even Lei Ming overflowed with tears, but he quickly wiped them away quietly.
Zhang Youbin has not yet come out of the feeling of being at a loss. After standing up, he was a little confused and his whole person seemed to be in a state of confusion. This was really too sudden. He had never made such preparations.
That's why I was caught off guard by Zhang Jiadong's sudden appearance.
Should he follow his grandfather? Zhang Youbin had no idea.
"The third child..." Lei Ming said: "You should go back with the old chief. It's time to reunite with your relatives after so many years. You are safe now, and we are all relieved. I will ask the brothers to evacuate later."
All have been evacuated, so you can spend these days with the old chief and your other relatives."
Zhang Youbin nodded with a confused look on his face and said softly: "Okay..."
He hadn't realized why Lei Ming called his grandfather "Old Chief". He thought it was just an honorific. He didn't know anything about Lei Ming's past.
Qimei looked at Zhang Youbin with red eyes. She choked with sobs and said, "Third brother, Xinran doesn't want to leave..."
Zhang Youbin walked up to Qimei, lovingly helped her wipe away the tears on her face, and said softly: "Silly girl, you don't have to leave anymore, but you still have to go back and bring my sister-in-law and Nana back.
Otherwise, you just have to wait two days, and Third Brother will go with you. Third Brother has still had a wish that has been unfulfilled for many years, and now he finally has a chance."
Qimei pursed her lips and nodded happily and said: "Xinran knows that third brother has a lot of things to do. Xinran just goes to pick up my sister-in-law and Nana. I will go tomorrow!"
Zhang Youbin smiled slightly and said, "You and your eldest brother should go back first. I'll go back..." Zhang Youbin was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm going home..."
Then, Zhang Youbin suddenly thought of Chen Ruoran and Chen Wu. He turned around and looked at Bureau Liu who was like a dead dog and asked: "Where are Chen Ruoran and Chen Wu being imprisoned by you?!"
Director Liu hurriedly cried: "Mr. Zhang, I immediately asked someone to release the two of them. I beg you, please help me to beg for mercy like the chief. I really know I was wrong."
Zhang Youbin smiled contemptuously and said: "Tell me where they are and I will go there in person. If you cooperate, I may give up the idea of beating you up."
"Shen Hui is in charge of taking care of them. I will contact him right away!"
"No, I will go find him myself." Zhang Youbin thought of Chen Ruoran and seemed a little impatient. He said to Zhang Jiadong: "Grandpa... I still have two friends who were implicated because of me. I must rescue them personally and face them face to face.
They apologized."
Zhang Jiadong immediately agreed and said, "I'll go with you, and we'll go home after we finish the work."
Zhang Youbin nodded slightly and said, "Can we go now? They have been suffering because of me..."
Zhang Jiadong said without hesitation: "No problem!"
Zhang Youbin said to Director Liu: "You take us there. I have to see the two of them face to face. If I find that the two of them have been wronged in the slightest... remember the promise I just gave you!" At this point, Zhang Youbin
Suddenly he realized it and said to Director Liu: "There is still money you owe me. You must pay me back every penny!"
Bureau Liu nodded quickly and said: "I will definitely pay the penalty and make meritorious service!"
"Brother..." Zhang Youbin held Lei Ming's hand and said with gratitude and perseverance: "Thank you, and thank you to all the brothers. Please tell them not to leave in a hurry, and wait until I finish what I need to do."
Brothers, have a good time together."
Lei Ming nodded in agreement and said, "No problem, they are fine now. I'll ask them to wait for you for a few days. Don't worry, it's not too late to talk after everything is done."
Zhang Youbin smiled gratefully and said, "Then ask the brothers to wait for me! I'll go pick up my two friends first."
"Youbin." Gong Zheng, who was standing aside, looked at Zhang Youbin with some embarrassment and said guiltily: "I'm really sorry. I bear a lot of responsibility for what you are experiencing now."
Zhang Youbin smiled at him and said nonchalantly: "I don't blame you. This is not your subjective intention. It's just that the development of things is out of your control."
Gong Zheng still couldn't let go and said, "I feel so guilty about this matter..."
Zhang Youbin spread his hands and said: "Look at me, isn't it all over now? I don't think about it, and you don't take it to heart either."
