Chapter 61: The Gao Father and Son
After sending Hong Yanwu away, Gao Zuoli returned home, and his spirit seemed very weak. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He looks like this, even his wife can see at a glance, that bastard boy named Hong Yanwu really gave him a big blow today.
So Gao Ming's mother didn't ask any more after asking about the news that the conditions had been negotiated. She just made her husband tea, and then went to the living room to make a phone call at his instructions, and called the two sons, who were still in the guest house room, home.
Twenty minutes later, Gao Ming and Gao Fang all stood in front of Gao Zuoli in a proper manner.
But until this time, Gao Zuoli's expression did not return to normal, and he still looked like he was seriously ill and had no energy.
The two sons of the Gao family had never seen their father push so much, and they were both surprised and had an extremely bad feeling. They thought that the matter had been completely messed up, and they couldn't help but ask anxiously.
"Dad, are you alright?" Gao Ming asked first.
"Dad, what's going on with that?" Gao Fang followed.
But although they were the same eagerness, their respective ways of asking questions undoubtedly scored different marks in Gao Zuoli's heart.
For this reason, Gao Zuoli's reaction was to raise his head quickly, first glanced at Gao Ming gently, and then glanced at Gao Fang coldly, with a trace of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
But in the final analysis, Gao Zuoli also knows that things like emotional intelligence are not something that can be trained by hand, and it has to rely on a certain talent. Although the gap between his two sons is like that of an adult and a child, it is also a matter of no choice, and he can't really care about it.
"You don't have to worry about that. I have already negotiated the conditions with that Hong Yanwu. But I also want to tell you that from now on, neither of you two should go out of the compound again, let alone make trouble without permission, until this matter is completely resolved. Do you get it?"
Gao Zuoli's words finally solved the heart disease of his two sons. Gao Ming and Gao Fang both took a long breath and nodded yes together.
Seeing that the two sons returned to their normal looks, Gao Zuoli was no longer patient, and he immediately ordered Gao Fang to go out, leaving Gao Ming in the house to talk alone.
Gao Fang unconditionally obeyed this obvious discrimination. This is not only because this situation has long been a norm in the Gao family, but as far as Gao Fang himself is concerned, he also knows very well that his father and brother are probably about to talk about some worrying things.
Gao Fang is a person who doesn't like to bother with brains by nature, and if he asks him about those things, he can't tell why. So instead of minding at all, he was happy to see it happen. In fact, in his opinion, as long as he listens to his father and brother, why should he this extra heart and get along with himself?
The following things were really the same as Gao Fang thought, after he closed the door, the conversation between the father and son in the room was almost all annoying and worrying.
Gao Zuoli first told Gao Ming in detail about the real situation that happened today, little by little. It was only at this time that Gao Ming knew where his father's face of loss came from.
Similarly, Gao Ming was also extremely shocked. Because he didn't expect his father to use such extraordinary means to try to master Hong Yanwu's handle. Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu is simply terrifying and terrifying!
This kid can even find such a trap! He is not afraid to face the muzzle of a gun! This is completely impossible! He is still a normal person!
For a moment, Gao Ming suddenly felt a kind of inhuman fear. This caused him to fall into a completely speechless silence, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
It wasn't until he noticed that his father was quietly watching him, as if waiting for him to say something, that he apologized in great embarrassment.
"Dad, it's all my fault...... It's that I shouldn't be messing around outside and causing trouble at home......"
Gao Zuoli could naturally feel that Gao Ming's apology was sincere. But the reason why he told his son everything was not to hear such stupid things that would not help. On the contrary, he was a far-sighted man, knowing that cultivating a qualified successor was the only way to ensure the prosperity of the family.
Needless to say, among his two sons, Gao Ming was the best choice. Then he had to sharpen his son slowly like a knife until the knife was sharp enough to sharpen iron like clay, but it was hidden deeply.
Something like this encounter, although it is a major setback, can even be regarded as a serious family crisis. But in his view, it was also a good opportunity to teach this successor. So he didn't wait for Gao Ming to finish speaking, and immediately stretched out his hand impatiently to stop him.
"Okay, you've already admitted your mistake about this, and I've pumped you with an armed belt. There's no point in saying that. All I have to ask you now is, what do you think we think we should do next?"
Gao Ming didn't expect his father to blame him at all, but to ask for his opinion. He was a very intelligent man, and soon realized his father's intentions, and after thinking about it carefully, he spoke honestly about his thoughts.
"Frankly speaking, I always thought you were just an ordinary logistics cadre, and I never knew that you were also proficient in such extraordinary methods. In addition, Hong Yanwu's performance this time also greatly surprised me. It stands to reason that he was just a commoner, and he was still a reckless person in the past, and it was possible to just become an outlaw. But for some reason, as soon as he came back from this re-education through labor, he not only became good at using intrigue and trickery, but also had an unusual understanding of surveillance and recording techniques and firearms that ordinary people had no access to, which made no logical sense at all. So, I ...... I really don't know what to do......"
Gao Ming paused, as if he didn't know how to continue, so Gao Zuoli simply picked up.
"You think the other side is a very unreasonable and invincible enemy, is that right?"
Gao Ming blushed a little, but he didn't dare to lie to his father, and he still said it bluntly.
"That's right. At least I can't see his weaknesses, I can't beat him in terms of fighting, and it's even more difficult to calculate him, so in my opinion, I can only hope that he will keep his promise and return the film. In fact, the probability that this matter can be resolved smoothly and peacefully is quite high. I always think that people may go crazy when they have no way out, but once they have hope, they also have scruples. From his point of view, after the conditions are fully met, the revenge is also avenged, the anger is relieved, and the benefits are settled, and there is no reason to put us to death. The only thing to worry about is the lack of greed, I am really afraid that he will be addicted and will ask for too much. What do you think?"
Gao Zuoli lit a cigarette and took two puffs in a row. He smokes very easily on weekdays, and when he is so anxious, it is precisely because he encounters something that really gives him a headache that he will act.
"There is some truth in your analysis. For this person, let alone you, I am also very puzzled. But you say that he is unreasonable, it is just a deviation in understanding, because existence is reasonable, there must be some special reason, that Hong Yanwu will understand this. Didn't you find out about me today, it's the same thing. In fact, it's okay not to know the reason, but more important than this is that you must understand a truth through this matter. That is, there are many people and things in the world who are different from what they seem, especially the Chinese people, who are subtle and like to hide and deceive everything. So some things look ordinary, but in fact they are often mysterious. Only stupid people believe in superficial phenomena, and if you want to stop making mistakes in the future, you have to be good at discovering these things!"
Gao Ming lowered his head and listened carefully to his father's teachings, not daring to be sloppy or interjecting easily.
Gao Zuoli spat out another puff of cigarette before continuing to speak in a deep voice.
"As for what to do now, we really have to wait for him to take the initiative to hand over the film, which is no choice. This person is really not good, and we can't see through it. If this is to be the end of the matter, it is better for you to keep the water from the well and never come into contact with him in the future. But as you said, he could also use this to make more demands. Even if the probability is small, he still has the possibility of not keeping his promise and still exposing the photo afterwards. What if the other two things happen?"
"That'...... If he wants to do this, he will completely drive us to a dead end. Man's greed cannot be satisfied, and no matter what, one more condition can no longer be granted to him! As for me...... When the time comes, I'll have to run away with my brother......"
Hearing his son's answer, Gao Zuoli twitched violently in his heart, and then very complex emotions were intertwined.
"This is your countermeasure! Do you think of only fleeing in the face of difficulties?"
But Gao Ming had a bitter face and asked helplessly. "Dad, we're no match for him, and I don't want to go to jail!
Gao Zuoli really hates that iron is not steel.
"You are confused! Who told you that you would have to deal with a person himself! Do you remember his new request, it was not for himself, it was for his second brother? This is enough to prove that he has other people besides himself who worries him. At the end of the day, as long as everyone has something that they can't let go, it will become their own weakness. Therefore, if he is really forced to this point, his family is our best target! Only in this way can we have a higher probability of success. ”
Gao Ming was silent for a moment. He had to admit that his father's words were reasonable and instructive. But there is another situation that this solution has not been able to solve.
"And he...... So what if he doesn't ask for it, just to get revenge, and just exposes the photo? We just calculate his family, and it won't help!"
Gao Zuoli's right hand vigorously snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, frowned, and then spread his hands again, and finally said a solution.
"If that's the case, I won't let him go. But you and your brother can only blame bad luck. I'm afraid that the only way to survive is to turn myself in. ”
Gao Ming was shocked and absolutely unacceptable. "Surrender? You're not kidding. Dad, we are your own sons, not to mention that we are framed at all......"
Gao Zuoli simply slapped the table and questioned his son with rhetorical questions.
"I don't know this yet! But what can you do if you don't admit your guilt? Are you really going to be a fugitive as you said? You don't want to think about where you can escape? As long as you don't leave the country, sooner or later you will be caught. Besides, you are the sons of soldiers. If you really run away, what will you do at home? How do you think my mother and I should face the fingers of others, and I still have the face to work here? I am going to transfer jobs, and I have no real power in my hands, how long do you think you will be able to be out there? Remember, son, if you want to be a real man, you must learn to bear all the consequences, even the worst ......"
Gao Ming looked into his father's eyes and saw that the unfathomable gaze was staring at him coldly, but he still couldn't meet his father's expectations.
"But, but Dad, I really don't want to go to jail! Besides, besides, it's possible to shoot for this kind of crime! You can't force me to ......."
Gao Zuoli really didn't want to see his son's cowardly face anymore, he sighed and stood up, slowly walked to the window, and then looked out the window and said unhurriedly.
"Do you think your father will still harm you? I won't hide it from you, the general with inconvenient legs and feet who lived on the third floor a few years ago and kept writing confessions was not only a founding father, but also the top leader of the "Third Department of the General Staff" in the past. The old man later went to Fujian to treat his legs, but now he has returned to Beijing and is about to make a comeback. In the past few years, I have taken care of him before and after the saddle, and it has not been in vain. This time, the old man came home and was still thinking about me, and there was already news from the above, saying that he was going to transfer me to another level soon. There is such a protector here, and if something really happens, we can go and ask him. But if you don't have the courage to face it, let me lose my majesty, and end up being a disgrace and a disgrace, then I really can't protect the two of you! What should I do, think about it yourself......"
For a long time, there was no more dialogue between father and son. Gao Zuoli has been standing quietly by the window, never turning around.
Of course, Gao Ming knew that his father's words were quite reasonable, and he was also very surprised that his father was about to be promoted. However, he still felt that his father was too ruthless. In other words, he himself has always struggled to muster the guts to bear such an end.
But Gao Zuoli never got a courageous reply from his son. Not only did I feel extremely tired, but I also felt a little suffocating in my chest.
Originally, he just wanted to use this almost impossible situation as the last level of today's test through hypothetical methods, but he didn't expect his son to get a very poor score. It seems that he can't rest assured that he still has a long way to go on the road of teaching his son.
Because his son, although he has a good mind, he also has obvious deficiencies in the most important things, that is, courage and responsibility. If we can't make up for this shortcoming, I'm afraid the future will be very limited.
For some reason, this reminded him of Hong Yanwu's daring to threaten himself in the face of the gun, and even gave birth to a purely whimsical idea.
That kid who didn't know what he was afraid of, how nice it would be if it were his own son!
If Gao Ming had his ruthlessness, he might not be able to touch Jiangxing in this life! )
