Chapter 6: Play Boy
After experiencing the robbery turmoil, to Dewey's surprise, Kim really didn't look for Xiao, and Xiao left his place of residence inexplicably.
For several days, Dewey was alone in a broken house in the countryside eating, drinking, and Lazar, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world before the action began, and if he couldn't wait for Xiao, Dewey couldn't mix it at all, and the beer in the refrigerator was all drunk, and there was no way to go on like this, Dewey decided to think of a way.
The next day, Dewey took his luggage and drove to a bank in Los Angeles to exchange dollars.
The bank that did not enter at 8 o'clock in the morning did not come out until more than 12 o'clock at noon, Dewey's mouth was really difficult to communicate in English, and he almost quarreled with the lobby manager in the middle, but in the end he still succeeded in changing it to 10,000 US dollars, which was enough to save him to buy a ticket to return home.
After lunch, Dewey called Xiao in the phone booth at the entrance of the restaurant, which he had called Xiao no less than 20 times in the past few days, but unfortunately the signal was still not in the service area, and this Xiao was like evaporating from the world.
Just left, Dewey really felt unwilling, and even more strange, but the immigration bureau had already issued a notice to return to China.
After returning to China, the first thing Dewey did was to report to the company commander, but he was really shameless when he returned empty-handed.
When he arrived at the company commander's office, Dewey was dumbfounded, Yu Mengting was actually here!
"Dewey, Uncle Lee, look at Dewey's back!" she stepped forward and hugged Dewey directly.
"Tingting, this... Captain... What's going on..."
"You stinky boy is back, it's sneaky to fall in love, Tingting told me what you're doing now... In love!"
Listening to Lian Chang's nonsense, Dewey was also confused, "What is this... Lao Li.. It's not..."
Yu Mengting rolled her eyes wide, and her fingers secretly pinched him, Dewey really didn't know what was going on.
"Uh... This... Tingting, you go out first, I have something to say to the company commander. ”
"Okay, the two of them are chattering. ”
Smack, Dewey carefully closed the door. "No, what's going on with the company commander?"
"You don't have to say it, you're Tingting's boyfriend, she's your girlfriend, it's as simple as that!"
"Damn, Lao Li, why are you getting more and more confused the older you get, I've always been single! This..."
"What's the matter, what's wrong with me when I'm old, do you still look down on the old cadres? You young people can't hide anything from me! Don't talk about this, let's talk about your situation. ”
"Company commander, there is one in Los Angeles, do you have an informant?"
"Informant?
"Oh, what's wrong with an informant named Chen Kun, he hasn't contacted me for several years, what's wrong?"
"Chen Kun?!Do you know his English name?"
"I haven't been in touch with this person for several years! I don't know where he is now, he used to be our comrade, a platoon commander of a special operations brigade. ”
When he heard this, Dewey relieved himself, "It's this person! His name is Shaw now, I met him in Los Angeles, and he actually knows me! How can he read my file? Also, as soon as I got off the plane, he drove a taxi to pick me up and said that you approved it." ”
"It's ridiculous! This Chen Kun is no longer my informant, and I don't even know he's in Los Angeles!"
Dewey was lost in thought, "Oh! yes! He also showed me a brigade of something.... Plan 831, there is not only the official seal but also the personal signature of the brigade commander!"
"831? What 831? How do I not know?" the company commander was also stunned.
Knock knock, Yu Mengting couldn't wait, "Are you all okay?" ”
"Oh, go to the lounge, we haven't finished talking yet!"
"You say this, Chen Kun, he can not only see your archives, but also get the imitation official seal, do you say that this person is now.... It stands to reason that we have to send the files of the special combat personnel to the Confidential Bureau, and only cadres can read them, what is the origin of this Chen Kun?"
"It's been several years since he said that this 831 was an undercover secret, and the other people who participated in the mission died, so 831 was handled by him alone, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”
The company commander turned his head sideways to look outside the door, "Boy, if this is a secret from above, you and I will lose our heads! I just pretended I didn't know. ”
Even the company commander himself can't explain the catty of this.
"Dewey, you're glad to have returned home, otherwise... Hmph, you are also uncertain about your life and death!" After speaking, the company commander got up and took Dewey to the lounge to see Yu Mengting.
"Uncle Li, what has been talking about for so long, I am grateful for the flowers I have been waiting for!" Tingting stretched.
"Company commander, you go out, I think.... Stay alone with Tingting. ”
"Haha... Well, well, young people just have a lot to do. "The door to the lounge was closed.
Dewey stepped forward and secretly looked at the crack in the door, and after confirming that the company commander had left, he took Yu Mengting's hand to the sofa.
"Tingting, you sit, I'll pour you a glass of water. ”
"Now, water for you!" Dewey said like a gentleman, "Say, what's the matter?"
"Uh, Dewey.... This one... Don't get me wrong, actually... In fact, my dad is not a businessman at all, my dad is also mixed in the army, and Uncle Li and my dad are comrades-in-arms to resist US aggression and aid Korea... My dad he... Recently, I've been urging me to find a boyfriend, but... The boys at school are really fun... Let's put it this way, I'll lie to my dad that you're my boyfriend.. In fact.. Don't get me wrong.." Yu Mengting crackled and explained a big basket, and Dewey laughed while listening.
"Hahahaha, that's what happened?It's okay, I don't mind, it's really a blessing for me to be your boyfriend!"
"You're so poor... By the way, Uncle Li told me that you returned to China in the past two days, so what did you do abroad?"
Dewey paused for a moment, "Huh, I'm going to go there.... Bringing a company commander's informant back to China, it's not a big deal, the person has returned safely. ”
"Oh, that's right... Aren't you discharged from the army, why are you still looking for this?"
"Uh... The company commander said.. Soldiers on active duty cannot leave the country ... Well, yes, that's it. ”
Yu Mengting was fooled here, and when he got home, Dewey tossed and turned, he didn't close his eyes all night, he wanted to know who was behind the scenes?
Dewey rented a house in the city center, and the pension paid by the retired army was enough to last for a while, and the army arranged for him to go to the post office as a petty officer, and he also went.
More than half a year has passed, in the second half of 96, Dewey still can't find out about Wang Jing, cranky thinking is inevitable, sometimes even he feels that Wang Jing may be dead, and there is really no point in looking for it again, but as long as there is still a trace of faith in his heart, Dewey will not give up looking for his mother.
Looking at the whole thing, it seems that some hidden secrets were not discovered by Dewey, but the whole thing could not be connected at all, until one day at the end of December 1996, things suddenly took a turn for the better.
It was snowing heavily, and Dewey left work on time, but it was too cold! When he got home, he couldn't wait to turn on the heating.
But today, Dewey couldn't pull the heating gate, and it is estimated that the root of the gate was frozen! Turning on the flashlight, Dewey removed the case, and there was no ice at all at the root of the gate, but a piece of brown paper-like wrapping!
"Oh my mom, what the hell. Dewey muttered to himself.
It took a lot of effort to get the package out. It was when Dewey was confused that he opened a thick layer of package, and there was still a layer inside!
It contains a passport, a visa, a bill paper in English, and a U.S. ID card!
Dewey felt that he was really a hell of a ghost, and after sitting down, he opened it one by one, and the terrible thing was that the photos on these documents were all his own! What was even more ridiculous was that on the ID card was also his own photo, "English name... Geeee
Y, what Gary?
At the bottom of the table is a letter: everything is done, the second is a U.S. green card, the third is a plane ticket, tomorrow at 7 o'clock in the morning, get off the plane and take a taxi to a bar called "Play Boy", remember, your identity is now a Chinese American. Don't forget ------- Xiao.
After seeing everything in front of him, Dewey knelt down directly, and the originally peaceful life was shattered.
Dewey picked up the phone and dialed it to Company Commander Li's landline....
"Hey, company commander, it's me! I'm Dewey..."
"Dewey? Haha, you're a kid! How's it going, how do you have the heart to call me, old fellow?"
"Company commander, I.... Just.. That's it, company commander ... Let's have time to eat!"
"Ah?... Okay, you kid has a human touch! I'll call you again the next afternoon! I still have work to do here! Hang up!"
There was a false alarm, and Dewey almost told the whole story!
It seems that Dewey is going to do it alone! Without much thought, he quickly packed his bags and went out at 5 o'clock in the morning.
I don't know how long it will take to return to this city, and I may never be able to come back.
Before getting on the plane, Dewey prevaricated the company commander on a business trip to the post office and refused the company commander's dinner, and the company commander was still there wishing Dewey a smooth work, but he didn't know that he was going to embark on the journey to Los Angeles again....
