Chapter 40: The Father's Story
Hearing Gu Yan ask, Lin Guang nodded, he and Gu Yan's father Gu Cheng were indeed comrades-in-arms when they were in the army, at that time Gu Cheng was the chief officer of a special operations commando team, and he was one of the members of that commando team.
"Why, do you want to know about your father's presence in the army?" Lin Guang looked up at Gu Yan, who was sitting opposite.
Gu Yan nodded, looking at Lin Guang with a wistful expression.
"Your father was a particularly good special operations commander in the army back then......"
Lin Guang began to tell Gu Yan about Gu Cheng's affairs in the army back then.
When Gu Cheng was young, he served in the special forces of the army, with the rank of major commander, who was a special operations commander who terrified the enemy and made the enemy afraid when he heard his name. When fighting drug dealers at the border, the drug dealers hated Gu Cheng and the team led by Gu Cheng to the core.
The drug dealers even hired killers to assassinate Gu Cheng, but the people sent were all killed by Gu Cheng, and then Gu Cheng led the team to destroy the drug dens of those drug dealers again and again and bring them to justice.
Gu Cheng is not only cruel to the enemy, but also very strict when training newcomers, and the newcomers trained by him will scold him for being perverted at the beginning, because Gu Cheng's training methods are really terrifying.
Gu Cheng actually cares about his comrades-in-arms very much, and the reason why he is strict with newcomers during training is to be good to them, Gu Cheng doesn't want to be carried back the corpses of his soldiers one day.
During a mission, due to an intelligence error, the team led by Gu Cheng was ambushed by drug dealers, and they desperately broke through.
A team of 12 people, only five of them managed to break through in the end, and they did not abandon the corpse of every teammate.
In addition to the deputy captain who led away the enemy alone in order to attract firepower, the deputy captain died, and the drug dealers hated their anti-drug team to the core, so they brought back the body of the deputy captain and hung it at the door of their camp.
When Gu Cheng found out, he was very angry, he didn't want the body of the deputy captain who had been sacrificed to be hung and humiliated by the drug lords, he wanted to go and snatch back the body of his vice captain and take him home.
So Gu Yan went deep into the drug lord's territory alone on a dark and windy night, this was his plan alone, he didn't report to the organization, let alone tell anyone around him, that is, he didn't have any support.
He dodged the drug lords' observation posts as much as he could, and he couldn't dodge them, so he went toe-to-toe with the enemies, and nothing could stop him from taking the vice-captain home.
That night, Gu Cheng was like a god of war, rushed to the position of the drug lords, and successfully snatched back the body of the deputy captain, and he was not shot, but only slightly injured.
After that night, his name made the drug lords fearful, but when the troops found out, they did not reward him, because Gu Cheng, as a major officer, was good at acting without consent, which was a violation of discipline, of course, because Gu Cheng's purpose was to retrieve the body of the martyr, and he was not punished.
Gu Yan listened very carefully, he knew that his father had served in the army, but he didn't expect his father's deeds to be so hot-blooded, and his father turned out to be a person who cared so much about comradeship, he was a man who stood up to the sky.
"Your father also represented our country, went abroad to participate in military competitions, and won many honors for the country." When telling this, Lin Guang's expression was adoring, which showed how high Gu Cheng's status was in his heart.
"Then my father, why did he transfer from the army?" Gu Yan asked Lin Guang.
Gu Yan thought in his heart, since his father had developed so well in the army and was already a major commander, how could he suddenly transfer from the army and go to the sea to do business, although this decision brought Gu Cheng great success and wealth, but from Lin Guang's narration just now, Gu Yan did not feel that his father was a person who liked money, and honor should be more important in his father's heart.
"This ......" Speaking of this, Lin Guang's expression was a little regretful and pity.
"Because of what?" Gu Yan asked again.
"Your father was shot, and the bullet wounded your father's heart, making it impossible for him to continue his service in the army."
"What! My father was injured?! Gu Yan was surprised in his heart, this was something he didn't know at all.
Lin Guang began to tell Gu Yan about the reason for Gu Cheng's injury, Gu Cheng was shot in a mission, it was a mission to rescue hostages, a terrorist hiding in the shadows originally shot at the hostages, and Gu Cheng did not hesitate to pounce on the hostages, and used his body to block the bullet for the hostages.
The bullet injured Gu Cheng's heart, Gu Cheng could not continue to serve in the special combat team, and could not even train as an ordinary soldier.
But Gu Cheng refused, he was unwilling to accept the idle job arranged for him by the organization, because he felt that his life would become extremely boring, and accepting this position would be quite a waste of the army's military funds to support him, and Gu Cheng, who was so proud in his heart, of course would not agree, so he chose to change jobs and go to the sea to do business.
Hearing this, Gu Yan's eyes began to moisten a little, he didn't expect his father to have such a glorious past, but he had never told Gu Yan about it.
"Actually, for your father, he made the right decision back then, and you see how successful he is now!" Lin Guang said to Gu Yan.
Indeed, after changing jobs, Gu Cheng has achieved great achievements in his career, successfully invested in real estate, owned his own listed company, and became a well-known local richest man.
"Brother Guang, do you know about my mother?" Gu Yan asked Lin Guang.
And this is the question that Gu Yan wants to ask the most, he wants to know about Gu Cheng and his mother.
"I really don't know about your mother, when I retired from the army and followed the chairman, your mother had passed away." Lin Guang told Gu Yan regretfully.
Gu Yan was very disappointed in his heart, since he was a child, no one had ever told him about his mother, and he hadn't even seen a photo of his mother, and now he finally met his father's old comrades-in-arms, but he didn't expect him to know.
"But I know that your father met your mother at the beginning of his career, and your father once said that without your mother, he would not be successful now."
"Then why didn't he marry his mother? It's another woman! When he said this, Gu Yan's eyes moistened.
"I really don't know about this, but I can feel that the chairman likes your mother very much and has never forgotten her." Lin Guang looked at Gu Yan with moist eyes, and felt very uncomfortable.
This 16-year-old boy has experienced too many things, bearing the pressure that he should not bear at his age, and he has not been accompanied by his mother and father since he was a child, Lin Guang is very sympathetic to Gu Yan's experience in his heart.
"Here, wipe your eyes." Lin Guang handed Gu Yan a piece of toilet paper.
He saw that Gu Yan's eyes were moist and about to shed tears.
Gu Yan looked at the paper handed over, he didn't want to admit that he was crying: "No, I'm just ...... No crying! ”
After all, Gu Yan was a teenage boy with strong self-esteem, so of course he denied that he was crying.
However, when Gu Yan said this, a tear had already crossed Gu Yan's cheek.
"Wipe it up, there are so many people in the breakfast shop, it's a shame for them to see it." Lin Guang said to Gu Yan that he saw the teardrops on Gu Cheng's cheeks, and it was obvious that he was crying.
Thinking that this was a breakfast shop, there was a lot of traffic, and it would be a shame to cry here and be seen, so Gu Yan took Lin Guang's paper.
"Hahaha......" Lin Guang looked at Gu Yan taking the paper, and laughed out loud when he felt a little cute.
Lin Guang didn't expect Gu Yan to be such a face-saving boy.
After eating breakfast, Lin Guang left the breakfast shop with Gu Yan.
"Got somewhere you want to go? Brother Guang will take you there. Lin Guang asked Gu Yan next to him.
"Brother Guang, can you teach me free fighting?" Gu Yan thought about it and asked Lin Guang.
Lin Guang has served in the special forces, and the level of free fighting must be very high, although Gu Yan has also learned all kinds of martial arts since he was a child, but after the incident of Brother Long, Gu Yan felt that he was far from enough, and yesterday after seeing Lin Guang's skills, Gu Yan felt that he could learn a lot by following him, so he proposed to let Lin Guang teach him martial arts.
Lin Guang was very surprised that Gu Yan would offer to let him teach him martial arts, because he saw that Gu Yan's various fighting skills had been used very well yesterday, if you want to talk about the shortcomings, it is that Gu Yan's physical fitness and physical fitness are not very good, and he is not decisive enough when fighting with the other party, Gu Yan obviously had a chance to make Brother Long incapacitated for a short period of time last night, but he didn't do it, after all, he was only a 16-year-old child.
"I taught you free fighting? You're really good at it. Lin Guang said to Gu Yan that Lin Guang even felt that if Gu Yan's physical fitness was a little better, it would be difficult for him to defeat him.
"But I think Brother Guang, your skills are much better than mine." Gu Yan still asked Lin Guang to teach him martial arts.
"Okay." Lin Guang agreed to him.
Lin Guang took Gu Yan to his home, and Lin Guang's home was a small villa with a courtyard. Walking into the villa, Gu Yan was surprised, because there was a room in the villa full of fitness equipment, which made Gu Yan feel like he had come to the gym.
In fact, what surprised Gu Yan even more was that there was no one else in Lin Guang's family, that is, he was still single.
"Brother Guang, you're not married yet?" Gu Yan asked Lin Guang.
Lin Guang nodded, he was in his 40s and indeed not married, and he lived alone in such a large room.
Lin Guang brought Gu Yan to the gym equipment.
"Gu Yan, you have practiced your fighting skills since you were a child, and the help I can give you in this regard is not very great, but your physical fitness is too bad, you faced so many people yesterday, if you were not tired at that time and ran faster, you could have escaped." Lin Guang told Gu Yan about his shortcomings.
Gu Yan nodded, he also felt that his physical fitness was really too poor, after he hit a few people yesterday, he began to feel tired, panting, if it wasn't because he was too tired at that time, he could have run away.
Pointing out Gu Yan's shortcomings, Lin Guang made a fitness plan for Gu Yan to improve his physical fitness, and asked Gu Yan to strictly implement the fitness plan.
