The four of them, Liu Shiba and Tang Jili, bowed to each other and walked into the lobby on the first floor of the villa together.
The decoration in the hall is not that magnificent and luxurious, but rather antique and full of simplicity.
Not to mention anything else, the set of mahogany tables and chairs in the middle of the hall looks quite extraordinary and valuable.
There are three other people in the hall at the moment, a young man in his twenties, whose face is somewhat similar to Tang Jili's, and he must be his son.
There was also a middle-aged woman who was well-dressed and looked elegant. When Tang Jili came in with Liu Shiba and four other people, she nodded and smiled in a very friendly manner.
There was also a man about the same age as Tang Jili, wearing a black and decent dress. He was probably a butler.
After entering the door, Tang Jili smiled at the woman and the young man:
"These are some distinguished guests. I have important matters to discuss with them in detail tonight. You go and rest first.
Butler Zhao stayed, closed the door, made a pot of good tea, and then sent Xiao Zhang to rest at the door."
The young man glanced at Liu Shiba silently, nodded with a smile, and then walked upstairs with the middle-aged woman.
At this time, there was no one else in the hall. Tang Jili waved his hand and said solemnly:
"How many distinguished guests, please take a seat. I haven't asked you your name yet?"
Liu Shiba casually sat down on a mahogany Taishi chair. Cao Xiong and Luo Zhan also sat opposite. Only Li Ergou refused to sit and stood silently behind Liu Shiba.
Upon seeing this, Tang Jili instantly understood who was in charge among the four people, it was this young man who looked to be in his mid-twenties.
"Excuse me, my surname is Liu and my name is Shiba!"
Liu Shiba smiled calmly and introduced himself.
Tang Jili, who originally had a warm smile on his face, stood up suddenly after hearing this, his elegance disappeared, and he said anxiously:
"Liu Shiqi? What is your relationship with Mr. Liu Shiqi?"
Liu Shiba was stunned and stared into Tang Jili's eyes. After a few seconds, he calmly replied:
"Liu Shiqi is my father."
Hearing this, Tang Jili took a deep breath, nodded slightly and said: "Sure enough, a hero comes from a young man, and a tiger father has no son."
At this time, the butler came in with a pot of tea, placed it respectfully on the table, and then retreated to the corner of the room to stand.
Tang Jili made the tea himself, frowned, and turned around and said, "Butler Zhao, you can go down too, we don't need anyone to greet you here."
A strange look flashed in Butler Zhao's eyes, he nodded slightly and walked back...
At this time, the hall became quiet. Tang Jili broke the silence first and said with a faint smile:
"Since Mr. Liu is the son of an old friend, Tang is no longer talking in circles. You came to me for the whereabouts of your father, right?"
Liu Shiba nodded slightly and said:
"That's right."
Tang Jili thought carefully for a while, then supported him with his right hand and said:
"Drink tea."
After tea, Tang Jili said solemnly:
"This hall is very safe. There are no eavesdropping devices. You can speak freely about anything.
Now I need a proof, for example, how do you prove that you are Liu Shiqi's son?"
Liu Shiba was stunned when he heard this. Proof?
When Tang Jili saw Liu Shiba's astonishment, he couldn't help but smile and said softly:
"For example, gold touching order?"
Liu Shiba's eyes turned cold and he looked at Tang Jili intently...
When Tang Jili saw this, he did not explain. He took a sip from the tea cup and said with a faint smile:
"Well, it's a long night, why don't you guys listen to me tell a story? This story happened when I was young..."
"…………"
………………
In the middle of the night, interesting things happened in another place...
Chinese Navy Headquarters, a secret interrogation room!
The captain of the Zhenhai, Zheng Weida, sat at the table with his head pulled back.
"Zheng Weida, please explain the problem truthfully!"
A soldier with the rank of major general opposite said seriously.
"What should I explain? I have said everything I need to say. I really don't know anything. I just answered two phone calls..."
Zheng Weida explained listlessly.
"We checked and found that the phone number is 88. Where in the world can there be such a number?
Please explain the problem honestly and clearly. What happened in the waters of Zhenbao Island during the time when you lost contact with the satellite?
Why did you issue two orders for the Zhenhai to retreat?"
The soldier on the opposite side asked again sternly.
Zheng Weida fell silent and stopped making any explanations. It wasn't that he didn't want to explain, because he couldn't.
If all the weapons on the Zhenhai were not intact, it is possible that the military personnel thought they had killed the American Yorktown aircraft carrier group and the two Japanese destroyers themselves...
…………
Outside the interrogation room, there were three old men standing, one was Ning Haifan and the other was Fei Liguo. Both of these old men were wearing formal military uniforms.
There was also an old man, wearing a white lieutenant general's uniform. The old man had a majestic face and gray hair on his temples. He was calm and intimidating.
He is none other than Vice Admiral Mu Huali of the Chinese military.
"Old man Ning, do you think what this guy said is true or false?"
Mu Huali asked seriously.
"I can't stand Ten, the other crew members and the first mate said the same thing."
Ning Haifan replied seriously.
Fei Liguo said strangely:
"A fully integrated aircraft carrier formation, ten of the most advanced warships, including a Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, not to mention fifty or sixty carrier-based aircraft.
Coupled with Japan's two advanced destroyers, this force was not unpowerful, but in just a few hours, it completely disappeared, and even Zhenbao Island was sunk.
This is how much power it takes to do this. Even our country, China, is not capable of doing this in such a short time, and neither is Russia!"
Mu Huali was silent and suddenly said:
"How do we report back to the top? Now the United States and Japan have activated the war mechanism.
And they are protesting at embassies in various countries. If we and Russia don’t come up with an explanation, this will be really difficult to handle.”
Ning Haifan grinned and said:
"Excuse me, what can we explain? The old man hopes that it was us who did it, but the problem is not.
Besides, do the United States and Japan dare to take action? If China and Russia join forces, the United States will be inferior by three points, right?"
Fei Liguo agreed:
"That's right, at worst it will break up and both sides will suffer losses!"
Mu Huali said with a black line on his head:
"If there is a war, wouldn't it be the common people who suffer? Our country has a lot of people, and we are not just being bombed by nuclear bombs for fun."
Hearing this, Fei Liguo and Ning Haifan fell silent at the same time...
After a long time, Ning Haifan gritted his teeth and said:
"Go ahead and report it to No. 1 truthfully, and we'll just hold on to it. It has nothing to do with us in the first place.
Even if we admit it, do you think the United States will believe it? Japan will believe it?"
Fei Liguo smiled and said:
"Having said that, it's really a relief. An entire aircraft carrier formation, two destroyers, and a treasure island were all blown up. Who can do such a big thing?
I think such a large-scale battle is a bit like the tactics in the Middle East, where they are all about killing people, as if they are seeking revenge."
Ning Haifan, who lowered his head and said nothing, trembled slightly when he heard this, and a hint of horror flashed in his cloudy eyes...
