Lei Ming put one hand on his chin, and kept slapping Zhang Youbin with the other hand under the table, reminding him not to do this. Zhang Youbin kept using his hand below to block Lei Ming's slapping, with a sincere expression on his face.
He said to the second sister: "Second sister, don't worry. If you stay, not only will I, but also my elder brother will take care of you."
The second sister deliberately complained: "Hey, I'm afraid some people don't want me to stay. Don't drive me away then."
"How is that possible?" Zhang Youbin chuckled and said, "China does not belong to anyone. As long as you have legal documents, who has the right to drive you away? Whoever dares to drive you away, I will be the first to fight him."
"You brat, do you know how much trouble you've caused me?" Lei Ming's mouth shape hardly changed at all, and he muttered questions at a volume that only Zhang Youbin could hear.
"Actually, it's no trouble. Maybe you will thank me in the future. If the second sister really returns to the United States, it will be too late for you to regret it." Zhang Youbin replied with the same caution.
There is no banquet in the world that lasts forever. Everyone understands that after this meal, most of the brothers will leave China one after another. After all, this is not where they belong. They will always go back to live their own new lives.
The scenes of veterans retiring from the army in peacetime are even more touching. Because many of these people have been together through life and death for more than ten years. After so many years, who can let go of them in one fell swoop?
Soon the situation became uncontrollable, and the consumption of liquor skyrocketed. Even super drunkards like Zhang Youbin were drunk. The scene was very chaotic, because there were always people running around, looking for people to drink, hug, and say goodbye.
The emotions of several girls were relatively fragile. After drinking a little too much, they began to cry out in pain. This was like a catalyst and immediately turned the scene that was very lively at the beginning into a dark cloud.
Faced with the coming huge changes, it is difficult for everyone to adapt. Thinking that in the future everyone will put down their guns and let go of the past, and they will be separated from each other, many people begin to lose control of their emotions.
Zhang Youbin could not express his loneliness and sadness in words. Although he was high-spirited and full of desire for a new life, every pair of red eyes around him conveyed a real atmosphere of sadness to him.
He really drank like crazy. He had to drink a little with almost everyone. There were hundreds of people, and Zhang Youbin had already lost weight all over his body.
It was the first time in his history that Zhang Youbin was drunk. In addition to wanting to talk more, Zhang Youbin's brain was very clear. He couldn't help but want to talk, and most of it was nonsense, but he never tired of it.
The entire banquet hall was made a mess by hundreds of people. Even the waiters were frightened and sent fifty boxes of wine, with six bottles in each box and nine taels per bottle. After the news was reported to the lobby manager, the lobby manager
My face turned pale with fright. This is liquor. Drinking too much can kill someone!
Fortunately, no one had an accident. Although Zhang Youbin could not walk, the guards sent by Zhang Jiadong took him back to the military area in a puddle of mud. The other bloody brothers went back to their rooms to rest. They will evacuate one after another starting tomorrow. Yin
They were all released on National Day, and all the weapons and equipment were returned to the supply depot. Today, it can be regarded as a successful end to the mercenary career of these people for several years, even more than ten years, and decades.
, what is perfection? As long as you survive, you are perfection.
Zhang Youbin insisted on going to the airport to see him off. Although he drank too much, he still got up on time the next morning and rushed to the airport.
From morning to night, the plane sent away batch after batch of people, one after another, including Lei Ming who returned to Lebanon. In the end, only Vasily and Viper were left with Zhang Youbin. The problems Zhang Youbin faced were other
My brothers didn’t know it, but they both knew it, so neither of them wanted to leave.
Zhang Youbin finally left the airport alone. Because Vasily and Viper took the last 11 o'clock flight to Zhonghai and continued to return to Datang Group to act as internal agents for Zhang Youbin.
Grandpa and grandma haven't left yet. Yesterday morning, he went to pay homage to his parents at the grave. In the afternoon, he drank like a duck at the Kunlun Hotel. He slept from dusk to dawn and stayed at the airport for a whole day. He didn't have a chance to go into details.
I told my grandpa about the huge hidden danger faced by Datang Group.
The small villa deep in the military compound is still brightly lit. In the past two days, the whole family has been like a shot of stimulants. It is difficult to calm down from the excitement. At least they will maintain such a high degree of enthusiasm for a few days, so in Zhang Youbin
When I went back, I was surprised to find that except for the little cousin Zhang Shanshan, who had already gone to bed, everyone was still sitting in the living room chatting.
"Jingjing, you are back." When grandma saw Zhang Youbin coming in, she walked over kindly and took Zhang Youbin's hand.
"Grandma." Zhang Youbin smiled at her and said, "We just sent everyone away, why haven't you rested yet?"
"Not yet, I'm chatting with your grandpa and grandma." Zhang Youbin's grandma said with a smile: "Hurry over and sit down for a while and chat with them."
Zhang Youbin nodded and sat opposite his grandfather and grandpa.
The relationship between the two old brothers has developed very quickly in the past two days, and they are basically the same as Zhang Youbin was when he was a child. At this moment, they are sitting together, talking and laughing, and chatting happily.
"Jingjing, have all your brothers been sent away?" Zhang Jiadong asked.
Zhang Youbin nodded and said: "Most of them have been sent away."
"Actually, it's rare to have so many brothers who live and die together in life. It's hard to find them in today's military. After all, this is a peaceful era, and there is no test of life and death."
Zhang Jiadong said with great emotion: "On the battlefield back then, most of the comrades could decide in an instant to use their bodies to resist the enemy's bullets for you... That kind of feeling will never be extinguished in a lifetime."
Zhang Youbin nodded in agreement. This kind of emotion is indeed unimaginable to many people.
"Blood's reputation is very loud in the Middle East. I think your brothers must all be good players, right? Can they adapt to just putting down their guns like this?" Zhang Jiadong asked curiously.
Zhang Youbin himself didn't know, he shook his head and said: "I don't know. If no one bothers them, maybe everyone can live a normal life. Putting down the gun doesn't mean letting go of the character. I'm just worried that someone will anger them and make them return to the past.
, Otherwise, they won’t have any problems adapting, after all, mercenaries are people with strong adaptability, and they are not crazy people who think about killing people all day long.”
Zhang Youbin's sister-in-law held her chin, looked at Zhang Youbin and asked curiously: "Jingjing, have you really killed anyone?"
Zhang Youbin also said without any secret: "Almost every task is related to killing."
"Ah?" Zhang Xiaoyang's eyes widened, and his surprised look turned out to be very cute: "Can you really kill someone?"
Zhang Youbin had no intention of hiding anything. Since he was his relative, it would be better to confess his past than to hide it and then be discovered by them, so he nodded and said: "Killing is just a means of survival."
With that said, Zhang Youbin added: "Mercenaries basically have no position. If someone gives them money, they will work hard for their employers. However, some mercenary groups are a bit special. Some of them are government mercenaries who specialize in doing things for the government, and some are religious in nature."
Mercenary groups, such as regular Islamic mercenary groups, will never do anything that harms the interests of Islam. Others, like us, have special beliefs and persistence. Our consistent style is not to do anything that is harmful to the motherland.
Really good people don’t kill.”
"Then you are trying to eliminate violence and keep good people safe? Are you killing all the bad guys?" Zhang Xiaoyang then asked.
"The good people we talk about are those who have made great contributions to society. If someone pays us to kill a big philanthropist, we will definitely not accept such a task, but under normal circumstances, those who cannot distinguish between good and bad
We don’t bother to study whether he is a good person or a bad person.”
There was some change in Zhang Xiaoyang's eyes when she looked at Zhang Youbin. To be precise, there was a hint of panic. She didn't expect that Zhang Youbin looked as gentle and gentle as the elder brother she admired on the surface, but deep down he was completely different from the elder brother she remembered.
, is a scholar, a standard modern Confucian scholar, but Zhang Youbin is a mercenary and killer...
Zhang Jiadong, who was born as a soldier, didn't care about Zhang Youbin's past at all. Instead, he would rather have such a tough-blooded grandson. The rest of the Zhang family also had the same idea as Zhang Jiadong. They grew up in the army, so they directly regarded Zhang Youbin as his son.
Seen as a person like myself.
Zhang Jiadong saw a trace of fear in Zhang Xiaoyang's eyes and deliberately said: "Mercenaries, like soldiers, have someone they are loyal to. A task is a task, an order is an order, and you must obey the order."
"Yes!" Zhang Lingjun also agreed: "This is just like the bailiffs. Do you think they are willing to shoot those prisoners with guns? There are men and women, old and young. Who has a grudge against him? It's just an order.
Once it is given, he must execute it.”
Zhang Xiaoyang nodded thoughtfully, smiled apologetically at Zhang Youbin, and said no more.
Zhang Youbin's grandfather felt very uncomfortable about Zhang Youbin's past. He said softly: "Jingjing, grandpa will never let you live the same life as before, never again!"
Zhang Youbin smiled gratefully and said consolingly: "These are all in the past. Don't regard these as a burden on yourself." Then Zhang Youbin said: "By the way, grandpa, I have something very important to tell you.
you say."
"What's going on?" Grandpa asked curiously.
Zhang Jiadong knew that Zhang Youbin wanted to bring up something serious, so he hurriedly said: "Let's discuss this matter in my study." He deliberately wanted to avoid Zhang Youbin's grandmother, because after all, it was his own son who colluded with outsiders to embezzle his family's property.
I said it to my face because I was afraid that the old lady wouldn't be able to bear it.
