Chapter 23: Grandpa's Reprimand

Ling Yan drove to a building on the outskirts of the city, where a large expanse of lush trees almost obscured the manor that stood tall.

Ling Yan came to the gate of the manor, and the guard in front of the door immediately "snapped"

, neatly saluted him, good major general!

Ling Yan nodded, and walked in, the manor was full of flowers and plants, which looked particularly vivid and beautiful under the sunlight, Ling Yan stood quietly outside the garden of the manor, waiting for the old man who was busy pruning the flowers and plants in the garden!

The old man glanced at Ling Yan among the flowers, then ignored him and continued to take care of his flowers and plants.

After a long time, the old man slowly walked out of the garden, threw the scissors into Ling Yan's arms, Ling Yan took it easily, and obediently followed behind the old man, the old man took off his gloves, sat on the chair, picked up the tea brewed next to him, and drank it slowly.

Neither of them spoke, just stood quietly.

After a long time, the old man was the first to open his mouth!

Why, do you know you've come to see me, a bad old man?

Ling Yan lowered his head, grandfather, I'm sorry!

Because of my father's company, I really can't get out.

The old man glanced at him and said sharply, Hmph, Ling Yan, I don't care if you come by yourself this time, or if Adjutant Xu called you here, I have to remind you that your grandfather and I have dedicated my life to the army, and when I am old, I can't care so much, but at the same time, I can't afford to lose that face.

Now, I give you this responsibility, as a soldier, you should take this responsibility, as a major general, you yourself say, what have you done during this time?

The drug lord you caught last time, people caught it, what about drugs?

I haven't found it yet, so if you can't do it, give it to me right away!

Hearing this, Ling Yan's face changed significantly, he didn't know, it turned out that his grandfather already knew so much, that batch of drugs, he had been tracking, but the opponent was too cunning, and the drugs had not shown up until now, Ling Yan was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to explain this matter, after all, this matter was his responsibility.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the old man continued, I never approved of you taking over your father's company, now it seems that I am right, I want you to take care of both the company and the army, you can't cope with it, and when your father comes back from abroad, return the company to him, concentrate on being your major general, and handle the affairs of the army well!

Ling Yan frowned unconsciously, when his father came back from abroad, it was estimated that it would be some time, but his grandfather actually didn't know that Ling Yan's father was going abroad for surgery, and he was afraid that his old man would be worried, so he lied to him that he was going on a business trip abroad.

Knowing this, it is better not to tell him, Ling Yan temporarily nodded and agreed to his grandfather's request, promising to return the company to him when his father came back, and concentrate on doing a good job in the army.

Ling Yan walked out of the manor with a heavy heart, listening to the reprimand for an afternoon, his body and mind were a little tired, but not far away, Steward Wu was already waiting for him, and when he saw Ling Yan walking out of the manor, he immediately stepped forward, young master, today is the day when the Cheng family holds a charity party, and the car is already waiting outside.

Well, I know, I want the driver to go back!

I drove myself.

This?

Young master, in case you drink too much, you are alone...... It's okay, I'm in my own measure, you and the driver go back first.

Yes, young master.

At Ling Yan's insistence, Ling Yan drove alone, he wanted to be quiet by himself, because the company's affairs and the army's affairs were indeed delayed a lot.

In fact, it took a lot of time just to find the drug lords, not to mention that they deliberately misled the army's sight, knowing that the army was staring at them, and deliberately came to a golden cicada to come out of its shell, in order to let this batch of drugs be shipped out.

And if they don't find the drugs, they will inevitably end up releasing those people.
