Ye Yunxiu looked at the once familiar gate and the familiar red wall in front of him, and after wandering around and looking at it for a few moments, he left silently.

Looking at himself on the mirror of the hotel, Ye Yunxiu seemed to have a feeling of being in a different world, is this still himself?

Ye Yunxiu in the mirror was wearing a navy blue general's dress, the stars on his shoulders were shining, and he was wearing three medals on his chest that symbolized the highest honor of the republican people. Slowly put on the white gloves and put the big hat upright, Ye Yunxiu, who was dressed in military uniform, seemed to have returned to the years of the Golden Iron Horse.

When Ye Yunxiu, who was dressed in a Type 55 army general dress, appeared in front of Xinhua Gate, the guards on both sides were really shocked.

As the guards of the center of power in the republic, they naturally knew this general's dress, and even more so the meaning he represented. They looked at the three-door medal on the chest of the old man in front of the door and the general star on his shoulder, and they couldn't help but be in awe.

A guard walked up to Ye Yunxiu, then saluted with respect, and said, "General, may I ask you what's the matter?"

"I want to see the Supreme Chief. Ye Yunxiu returned a military salute, and then said.

The guard was really a little embarrassed, but after he looked at the medal on Ye Yunxiu's chest, he said, "Please wait a minute, I need to report to the top." ”

At this time, Ye Yunxiu's outfit had already attracted the attention of the passers-by, so the guards took Ye Yunxiu to the lounge and waited for a while.

About ten minutes later, a middle-aged man with glasses came to the lounge under the guidance of an officer. As soon as the officer and the middle-aged man entered the lounge, they saw Ye Yunxiu sitting in a precarious position, and naturally recognized the officer's dress on him. The two looked at the epaulettes, then hurriedly walked a few steps in front of Ye Yunxiu, and then said, "Old chief, I don't know who you are?"

"Ye Liren, 55 years of major general. Ye Yunxiu naturally understood what the two meant, so he said with vicissitudes: "It's been more than twenty years, it's been more than twenty years, are you okay, old chief?"

The middle-aged man immediately understood the meaning of Ye Yunxiu's words, and he knew that the relationship between the old man in front of him and the supreme leader was definitely not ordinary. However, the middle-aged man still has concerns, after all, the supreme leader is not something anyone can see if he wants to, and the old man is still working hard for the country every day.

"Show this pen to the Supreme Chief. Ye Yunxiu naturally understood the difficulties of these staff, so he took out a pen from his pocket and handed it to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man took the pen, then turned and went out, and after being inspected and made sure it was safe, the pen was delivered to the Supreme Chief. When the old man took the pen, the staff around him keenly noticed that the old man's hand trembled slightly.

After listening to the staff's report, the old man was silent for a long time......

After about an hour of effort, the middle-aged man who had left respectfully led a man who was close to the sixtieth birthday came.

"Director Wang, the old general is inside. The middle-aged man whispered.

The person known as Director Wang followed the middle-aged man into the house, and was slightly stunned when he saw Ye Yunxiu who was sitting in danger, and then walked quickly to Ye Yunxiu.

"General Ye, General Ye, is it really you?" Director Wang seemed to be very excited, grabbed Ye Yunxiu's hand tightly and shook it.

Ye Yunxiu looked at Director Wang, who was excited in front of him, and also held his hand tightly, and then said, "Xiao Wang, it's me, it's me." ”

The two who have not seen each other for many years and do not know life and death reunited again after more than 20 years, and the two were naturally excited and emotional. Waiting until Ye Yunxiu slowly calmed down, he looked at Wang Zelin and said, "Chief, are you okay?"

"The chief is good, the chief is good, and all the qiē are good. Wang Zelin said with emotion: "General Ye, the chief asked me to pick you up to see him." ”

Ye Yunxiu's hands trembled for a moment, and then said, "Okay, okay, let's go." ”

Wang Zelin naturally understood Ye Yunxiu's mood at this time, and he knew even more about the relationship between the Supreme Chief's family and Ye Yunxiu.

The supreme leader did not see Ye Yunxiu in the office, but chose to meet this friend or subordinate who he had not seen for many years in his own home.

Ye Yunxiu stepped into a quaint courtyard with anticipation and nervousness, and found a tall old man standing in the courtyard smoking. Ye Yunxiu naturally knew this familiar figure, and walked forward eagerly with three steps and two steps, and he seemed to be as energetic as a young man all of a sudden.

"Report to the chief, guard Ye Liren reports to you. Ye Yunxiu - or should Ye Liren salute the old man.

The old man looked at Ye Yunxiu, who was dressed in a general's dress, and was silent for a long time.

"It's good to be alive! It's good to be alive!"

Although the old man only has four simple words, it contains too many bitter and sweet and vicissitudes of life - perhaps only through experience can you understand the weight of these four words.

"Chief, I miss you!" Ye Yunxiu couldn't help but say with tears in his eyes after listening to the old man's words.

Wang Zelin on the side couldn't help but have a little moist eyes, yes, only after experiencing it will you understand the mood at this time.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. The old man patted Ye Yunxiu's shoulder and kept saying. Obviously, the old man's slightly trembling hands also showed his mood at this time.

In the house, Grandma Zhuo, who had been with the old man for decades, looked out the window, constantly wiping her tears, and kept muttering: "It's good to come back." ”

The old man took Ye Yunxiu's hand and entered the house, and the old man's children were quietly waiting in the house for the uncle he hadn't seen for many years. Ye Yunxiu looked at these "children" who had grown up, and called their names one by one with emotion. The old man's children also stepped forward to hug Uncle Ye, who loved them very much when they were young, and Ye Yunxiu had always been like their family.

Reunion after a long absence, it is naturally a burst of emotion......

Just when Ye Yunxiu was looking for an old man in the capital, many people were constantly "fighting" around Su Zhenbang's affairs.

In the past, Bi Wenming thought that Su Zhenbang was just a small businessman with some money, but these days, with the investigation of the company under Su Zhenbang's name, he suddenly discovered that Su Zhenbang's industry is really huge and amazing.

Suning Electric Appliance Chain Company, Suning Beijian, Suning Garment Company, Zhenbang Construction Company, Far East Trading Company -- these rapidly growing companies have become symbols of the rapid economic development of Donghai Province.

Bi Wenming couldn't help but feel that the investigation team's mission this time was very likely to be unfinished, because these companies not only involved a large number of foreign businessmen and foreign investors, but what shocked him the most was that they were inextricably linked with the military.

Just when Bi Wenming's investigation was in a dilemma, the long-silent Donghai provincial party committee and provincial government also put pressure on him to release Su Zhenbang if they did not have solid evidence, so that several companies could be kept running.

Su Zhenbang has not been treated badly these days, but someone will interrogate him in the same way every day.

He didn't know that not long after his investigation team took him away, Li Jun, Hou Zhengjun, Wei Qingping, and Su Yong quickly got the news, and then they kept looking for various relationships in the hope that they could get Su Zhenbang out. But the result was that the people they were looking for couldn't get involved in this level of the big game at all, but they didn't give up.

As a foreign representative of the Su family, Tan Jiageng naturally got the news that Su Zhenbang was taken away. Although he met the leader of the investigation team by virtue of his status as a Hong Kong businessman, this team leader seemed to be a dead brain, and there was no room for negotiation at all. Originally, he wanted to report this matter to Su Chenyu in Hong Kong, but the news he got was that Su Chenyu took the people from the fund company to Japan, and even Zhong Chuhong couldn't be contacted.

In desperation, Tan Jiageng threatened the leaders of Donghai Province that if they could not do everything they could to free their partners, he would have to withdraw his investment in view of the current uncertainty in the mainland's investment environment.

So in the end, although there was a struggle between the two sides in Donghai Province, they put pressure on the investigation team only after taking into account the economic growth factor.

In fact, when Ye Yunxiu met the supreme leader, Xia Mingfeng, who got the news from Hou Zhengjun, also met his old man in the capital. Just when Xia Mingfeng and Old Man Xia were discussing countermeasures, they didn't know that things had taken a shocking turn.

Although Bi Wenming encountered all kinds of troubles in the investigation, he still gained something, not to mention that he came with the orders of the old leader and had to face the difficulties.

Just when Team Leader Bi was preparing to attack the fortification, he suddenly received an order from above - to release Su Zhenbang immediately, end the investigation and return to Beijing.

It turned out that Bi Wenming still wanted to use procrastination to buy time, because he felt that he was about to dig into Su Zhenbang's "capitalist roots". Obviously, he didn't realize that there had been a serious change above, and soon the old leader's phone called, strictly ordering him to immediately end the investigation and return to Beijing, and to appease Comrade Su Zhenbang.

At this time, Bi Wenming had just realized that things had completely changed.

Sure enough, the old leader told him -- the Supreme Chief's Office conveyed the old man's instructions -- that we should give a certain degree of protection to Comrade Su Zhenbang, a private entrepreneur who has played a tremendous role in our economic development.

Obviously, this qiē is all the credit of Ye Yunxiu.

Ye Yunxiu, formerly known as Ye Liren, was the closest old subordinate of the supreme chief -- from joining the Red Army and becoming the supreme chief's guard, to later gradually growing into a senior commander of our army under the command of the supreme chief. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Ye Liren also got married, but the relationship was not estranged, and the two families who lived together in the capital were good families, as if they were a family. Naturally, in that catastrophe, Ye Liren also became the target of criticism, his wife Zhao Meiyun did not want to be humiliated and committed suicide, and his son Xiaohu and daughter Nannan were nowhere to be found. Ye Liren was desperate, turned into an ordinary person and came to Gucheng County, and since then he has lived with the Su family under the pseudonym Ye Yunxiu.

Ye Liren (who will use his original name in the future) told the supreme chief everything he had seen and heard in the local area over the years, and these experiences from his personal experience touched the chief and his old man deeply. Of course, Ye Liren mentioned Su Zhenbang and Su Chenyu many times in his conversation with the supreme chief, which couldn't help but make the chief and his old man very interested in the father and son.

After staying in the capital for more than half a month, Ye Liren either walked and chatted with the supreme chief, or traveled around the capital accompanied by his juniors. Although Ye Liren had a very happy life, he always felt as if he didn't belong to this place, and the huge red-walled compound made him often miss the ancient city of the Su family. During this period, Ye Liren naturally talked to the Su family on the phone many times, and also knew that Su Zhenbang was completely fine.

Ye Liren also finished his own business in the capital - he went to Babaoshan to see the grave of his wife Zhao Meiyun, so he decided to resign to the supreme chief.

"Chief, I want to go back in a few days?" Ye Liren said to the supreme leader on the sofa.

The supreme chief took a puff of his cigarette, and then said: "After a while, I will retire completely, and you have worked hard for half your life, stay and spend your old age with me." ”

Ye Liren just wanted to say that he no longer had a home here, and what was he left to do, but he interrupted him and said, "I know your thoughts, this is your home." And in the past few years, I have been asking the people below to find Xiaohu and Nannan, if there is news, you can also know it as soon as possible. If you want to see the Su family, you can let them come to the capital or go back to stay for a few days. ”

As soon as he heard the chief talk about Xiaohu and Nannan, Ye Liren fell silent for a moment, and after thinking about it, he nodded-the people he was most sorry for in his life were his wife and a pair of children. Now Ye Liren only hopes that he can see his two children again before he dies.

After the supreme leader saw Ye Liren nodding and agreeing, he saw that his face was a little bad, and knew that he must have missed Xiaohu and Nannan in his heart. So the old man patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Ye, I heard what you said about Su Zhenbang's father and son are very interesting, why don't you let them come to the capital for a trip, and I'll see you." ”

At the mention of Su Zhenbang and Su Chenyu, Ye Liren's mood suddenly changed a lot, and in his heart, the father and son had become his children and grandchildren. So Ye Liren said: "For more than 20 years, Zhenbang has been like my son, filial piety and dedication to me. As for Xiaoyu, this child is even more in my heart. ”

"I called them to come over later, and I missed them. Ye Liren smiled at the chief and said, "I just don't know if Xiaoyu, this kid has come back from Hong Kong, I have to call and ask." ”

Ye Liren picked up the phone in front of the supreme chief......
