Xiao Fan received a call from Secretary Cui in the courtyard.

"Director Xiao, are you busy?"

On the phone, Secretary Cui was very polite. Since the old man recovered, he has become very active and unusual, and Secretary Cui's weight has become more important unconsciously, but his attitude towards Xiao Fan has become more and more polite.

Of course, this is because Xiao Fan's status in the Xiao family has changed, not only the old man, but also Xiao Zhan and even Ye Qiyun and other Xiao generals, their attitude towards Xiao Fan has changed a lot. Lu Hong and Fang Li have also made it clear that they are close to the Xiao family, and the current Xiao family and even the Xiao family are developing and expanding at a rapid pace.

Outsiders don't know what it is, but as a staff member around the old man, Secretary Cui naturally knows very well that the person who caused this change was Xiao Fan, who was originally not optimistic about anyone and was regarded as a laughing stock by a wealthy family in Beijing.

There was even a rumor that Fang Li intended to recruit Xiao Fan as his son-in-law, but because his daughter was still young, he didn't make it clear for the time being.

Fang Li's own position, although he is still only at the deputy ministerial level, the strength of the entire Fang family in the Jingshi family is not small, although it is not a first-class super wealthy family, but it can be regarded as a first-class family.

actually attaches so much importance to Xiao Fan, does this "Taoist priest" have to come and go?

Xiao Fan smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Cui." ”

Secretary Cui said: "Director Xiao, the chief asks you to come over immediately, he has something to ask you for...... Oh, by the way, Minister Xiao will be coming over soon. ”

It is estimated that the security department has reported the situation to Old Man Xiao and Xiao Zhan, and the father and son of the Xiao family can't sit still.

Are you kidding?

Let Xiao Fan go to Dongdao alone to fight international criminals?

"Haode, Uncle Cui. I'll go right over. Uncle Cui, will my mother come over? ”

It's a way to explain this to the old man and his father. If Jian Xiuhua is here, it is another way to explain.

Secretary Cui said: "The news I got is that only Minister Xiao came alone. Director Jian probably doesn't have time. ”

This is naturally a polite statement, but in fact, it is hiding from Jian Xiuhua. If Jian Xiuhua knew about this, then there would basically be no room for negotiation, and it would be strange if Xiao Fan could step out of the house.

Hanging up Secretary Cui's phone, Xiao Fan got up and said goodbye to Second Master Wen.

"Senior brother, you must fight a battle with certainty, and don't act rashly."

Second Master Wen commanded very solemnly.

"yes, I see."

Xiao Fan nodded.

The courtyard where Second Master Wen lives is not far from the courtyard where Old Man Xiao lives. Daben went around a few circles, and it took about ten minutes to arrive. As was customary, Xin Lin stayed in the car. For the Xiao family, Xin Lin "does not exist", and now in the entire old Xiao family, only Xiao Tian knows that Xin Lin exists.

Xiao Fan walked slowly towards the ancient and familiar courtyard house.

After recuperating from his injuries in Qingnan for half a year and returning to Beijing after recovering from his injuries, Xiao Fan often came to visit the old man. Although the change of life against the sky was not completely successful. The "Qiankun Da Hui Dan" still played a certain role, and the old man's physical condition was not bad for a year. However, Xiao Fan can also see that it is relatively similar to the time when he was just discharged from the hospital. The old man's spirit is naturally worse. After all, for the eighty or ninety-year-old elderly, this natural law of aging is always inevitable, and every extra day of life is born. It's all remarkable.

However, the atmosphere in the courtyard today is a bit solemn.

Naturally, only a magician like Xiao Fan with an extremely keen sixth sense could sense it.

Xiao Zhan had already arrived one step ahead of him. Accompany the old man to sit in the wing. The old man's face was quite peaceful, and Xiao Zhan did have a straight face. He looked very unhappy.

Not long ago, Jinshang had already talked to him personally, and according to the original agreement, he was about to resign from his post as minister and become secretary of the provincial party committee of a certain province. At this moment, someone reported to him that the terrorists of the Eastern Island Country asked his son to go to the Eastern Island Country to save people.

What a mess!

For Xiao Zhan, this news is simply inexplicable.

How did Xiao Fan get involved with the terrorists in the Eastern Island Country?

There is basically no interaction between the Religious Affairs Bureau and the Eastern Island Country, how can the terrorists of the Eastern Island Country target Xiao Fan? How did this happen?

But the person who informed the Xiao family of this situation was the chief police inspector of the security department, whose status was equivalent to Xiao Zhan's, and the authenticity of the news was beyond doubt. How could such a steady provincial and ministerial-level leader with real power make a joke with Xiao Zhan about such a thing?

Xiao Zhan himself is also majestic and unsmiling.

Secretary Cui also seemed to know that the matter was not trivial, poured Xiao Zhan a cup of tea, and retreated to the door of the wing room to wait. Nurse Zhang also withdrew, in fact, since this period of time, the old man has no major problems, and Nurse Zhang's workload has decreased a lot compared to before.

Seeing Xiao Fan coming over, Secretary Cui hurriedly greeted him, lowered his voice and said, "Director Xiao, are you here?" Oops, how did you get this? When the old man heard the report, he lost his temper and dropped the teacup......"

Xiao Fan was also taken aback.

The old man's personality has always been known for his tranquility, even when he was in front of the stage before, he rarely got angry, but this time he actually dropped the teacup, which shows the old man's attitude towards this matter.

"Xiao Fan!"

Before Xiao Fan could speak, the old man's call had already sounded in the room.

It seems that the old man has been paying attention to the movements outside the door, and this matter is really not trivial for the old man, and it is even far more important than those so-called international and national events.

In any case, Xiao Fan is also his grandson, not to mention, today's Xiao Fan is no longer the "monk" who was ridiculed at the beginning, in the old man's mind, Xiao Fan has faintly become the rising star of the big family and the future pillar of the old Xiao family.

Secretary Cui shook Xiao Fan's hand tightly, didn't say anything more, and accompanied him into the wing.

"Grandpa, Dad!"

It seemed that the old man's complexion was quite peaceful, but his eyes were as sharp as knives, and he swept straight over.

Xiao Zhan was not so peaceful, he snorted and asked bluntly, "What's the matter?" You explain clearly! ”

Xiao Fan smiled and said, "Dad, how did Minister Zeng report the situation to you, that's what happened. ”

Xiao Zhan waved his hand, and his expression became even more angry: "No. First, what is the relationship between that Chen Yang and you? How did I not know you had a girlfriend? Second, weishenme that the terrorists on the east island will name you and let you pass? ”

Xiao Fan thought for a while and said, "Dad, Chen Yang and I are indeed friends, but they are not boyfriend and girlfriend. There are some other contacts between me and her......"

"What other dealings?"

Xiao Zhan is rigorous by nature, and such ambiguous words can't cope with him. Especially at such a critical juncture, Xiao Zhan will not miss a word.

Xiao Fan paused for a moment before saying, "Similar to the relationship between master and apprentice, I taught her some methods of internal cultivation. ”

Xiao Zhan fainted.

Although I have seen some of Xiao Fan's magical "spells", in Xiao Zhan's thinking, the so-called "internal strength" is really a strange term, only in some completely unreliable literary and artistic works, and this word can occasionally be seen in some government documents, but it is still quite difficult for Xiao Zhan to associate "internal strength" with his son.

"So, what about the East Island terrorist? Let's call Yuichi Yanagi...... What's going on with him? Well, you sit down first, sit down and say. ”

This time, it was Old Man Xiao who spoke, and his tone was quite gentle.

"Yes, Grandpa Xiexie."

Xiao Fan sat down on one side according to his words, looking at the old man and Xiao Zhan.

"This Yuichi Yanagi, strictly speaking, is not a terrorist, his real identity should be an intelligence officer of the Eastern Island Country. Chen Yang's kidnapping by him is estimated to have been a decision made by the top echelons of the intelligence agencies of the Eastern Island Country. As for Yuichi Yanagi and me, there is indeed a bit of a personal grudge. Not long ago, Yanagi Yuo came to our country......"

Xiao Fan briefly explained the matter of the judo gym.

For the old man and dad, he can only say this for the time being. Can't you tell them that your bodyguard once killed an East Island ninja in Yangxi Town, so they have a grudge? Such a "martial arts" plot, the old man is okay to say, but I am afraid that Xiao Zhan will definitely not accept it.

"Just for this?"

Xiao Zhan was a little skeptical.

If this is the case, then Yuichi Yanagi can't afford to lose. However, Xiao Zhan's heart that had been hanging was also put down for most of it. As long as it is a "competition", it is much better than a terrorist. As for Chen Yang's matter, it is naturally up to the security department to solve it. There are many cases of agents being arrested overseas or secretly detained, and most zuihou are resolved by "exchange".

"Xiaofan, what are you trying to hide from us?"

The old man looked at him with a gentle expression, but the words he asked were unambiguous.

What kind of person the old man is, if he is fooled by Xiao Fan's words, it will be too funny.

Xiao Fan sighed and said, "Grandpa, in fact, this time Chen Yang suffered from the pond fish, and that Dongdao native Yanagi Yuichi came for me. If I don't solve this problem this time, not only will Chen Yang sacrifice in vain, but the trouble will still be there, and I must be on guard at all times. Since the matter started because of me, then I have no reason to be a turtle with a shrunken head. The devil challenged me face to face, and I had to teach him a lesson! ”

The old man fell silent for a moment.

Xiao Zhan's brows became tighter and tighter.

"There you go!"

After a while, the old man said slowly.

"On the security side, I'll push them and let them do a good job of supporting you."

"Daddy!"

Xiao Zhan was taken aback and exclaimed.

The old man waved his hand and said, "Liberation, manly man, you must be responsible!" Since it's your own business, you have to solve it yourself, and there is no reason to sacrifice other people's daughters! ”

Xiao Zhan was speechless.

Xiao Fan stood up and bowed deeply to the old man. (To be continued......)
