He is over seventy years old, but his decades of military career have already cultivated a physique that is not inferior to that of a young man, and the trembling fingers at this moment are not physical reasons, but emotions.

"You make arrangements, I want to meet this student named Ding Xiu." The old man took a sip of tea, but the entrance of the tea was tasteless, he instructed the secretary, and then changed his words: "Forget it, prepare the car immediately and go to the Brilliant Academy." ”

After speaking, the old man and the secretary left, leaving only the cup of tea still steaming on the table.

……

Brilliant Academy, Teaching Office.

"Director Cai, have you watched the game that just ended? It's really exciting, the performance of that Ding Xiu player is so amazing, this time, I'm afraid that many institutions will be eyeing him as a talent. ”

"Really? I haven't had time to see it yet. Cai Ji smiled and lied.

Before she could see it, the professor who passed by the door of the office of the teaching office described the wonderful scene of the finals with a fluttering eyebrow.

With a polite smile on his face, Cai Ji patiently listened to the professor's description. After the professor left, she sat back in her seat, her smile began to retract, and her expression suddenly became a little solemn.

"Will Ding Xiu be ......" Cai Ji muttered in his heart, then rubbed his forehead again, and thought, "Do you want to report this matter to your father?" ”

She was struggling when the phone rang next to her.

"Director Cai, the secretary of General Gu Annan, former Minister of National Defense and commander of the Eastern Military Region, has called, and they will be here in ten minutes."

"I see."

Cai Ji didn't seem surprised by the military official's sudden visit, but after answering the phone, the question she had just wondered had been answered.

"Senior Gu visited, it seems that eight or nine are not far from ten, and I still have to inform my father about this matter."

Cai Ji dialed the direct line of the General Office of the Ministry of State Security and asked the staff of the General Office to transfer to his father, Cai Wenyue, the Minister of State Security.

The father and daughter exchanged for a while, Cai Ji hung up the phone, and then got up and prepared to greet Gu Annan.

Gu Annan's car does not look at the license plate number, in fact, the appearance is very simple, he himself is an old man with a tough style and a simple life, among the high-level of the country, it is very rare to insist on retaining this style now.

The car enters through the side door and goes straight to the college's advanced conference center building.

Cai Ji was already waiting at the door, and when he saw the white-haired Gu Annan coming out of the car, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Uncle Gu."

"Cai Ji girl." Gu Anan smiled when he saw Cai Ji, turned his head to the secretary beside him and ordered, "You just wait for me in the car." ”

"Uncle Gu, please wait inside, I have already asked someone to inform Ding Xiu, he will be there soon."

"Okay, okay." Gu Annan nodded, "Your father is okay." ”

"My father is fine, he often mentions you, saying that you are our Graylls' anchor." Cai Ji's words were not compliments, he respected the old man in front of him from the bottom of his heart.

The big words "Recast Brilliant" at the gate of Brilliant Academy were mentioned by Gu Annan back then, and Gu Annan was still the same generation as Cai Ji's father Cai Wenyue, both of whom were heroes who turned the tide in the disaster and helped Grells build the country.

"If you want to say that the country's anchor is the god of the sea, I don't dare to be ashamed, only the thousands of soldiers and soldiers of Grayls can afford this title." Gu Anan waved his hand as he spoke, and followed Cai Ji to the building, "Do you have any information about Ding Xiu?" ”

"It's all ready for you."

"Okay, then I'll take a look first."

The old man came to the conference room and sat down on the sofa, Ding Xiu's information was already on the coffee table in front of him.

Cai Ji sat opposite, she didn't speak, just quietly waited for Gu Annan to check the information.

"Western, Frontier Army ......"

Gu Annan whispered a word, raised his head and looked at the ceiling above his head, as if he was recalling something.

After a few moments, the old man's fingers couldn't help but tap lightly on the paper a few times, his lips moved slightly, but the words were swallowed again.

Cai Ji poured tea for Gu Annan, and the old man put down the information and chatted with her for a while.

After a while, Ding Xiu's voice suddenly appeared at the door.

"Director Cai Ji, are you looking for me?"

"Ding Xiu, congratulations on winning the championship." Cai Ji stood up and led Ding Xiu into the conference room, motioned for him to sit down next to Gu Annan, and introduced to him: "This is Gu Annan's senior, and he is also one of the founders of our academy. ”

Ding Xiu exclaimed, "Ah, it's Senior Gu!" ”

"You know me?" Gu Annan was a little surprised, and his gray eyebrows raised upward. "Yes, I have read your deeds in the book, and I have also heard that the words at the entrance of the college were mentioned by you yourself."

"Hehe, it seems that we are really destined." Gu Annan smiled and sighed, "If only I had known about you earlier." ”

"Senior Gu, I'll get busy first, and you guys will talk slowly." Cai Ji estimated that the old man had something to say to Ding Xiu next, so he wanted to leave the space in the office for them.

"Don't worry, you sit with us, I came here today to find out about Ding Xiu's situation in the academy." Gu Annan signaled that Cai Ji did not need to avoid it.

He asked Ding Xiu, "Ding Xiu, I heard that you are from the Western Army?" ”

"Yes." Ding Xiu nodded.

The old man asked, "Where is your home?" ”

This question made Ding Xiu slightly stunned, "My home? ”

Seeing Gu Annan nodded, Ding Xiu said: "My home is the W47 camp of the border guards, I am an orphan, I was picked up by Uncle Rong when I didn't remember, he raised me, and I followed him as a soldier in the camp." ”

"Uncle Rong?"

"Veteran Zhang Rongshe, the former captain of the fourth squad of the W47 camp, has died."

"If I'm not mistaken, Camp W47 is supposed to be on the edge of the Karakum Desert, and this camp seems to have experienced a mutant bullet ant colony, right?"

"You remember right." Ding Xiu was a little surprised, he didn't expect Gu Annan to remember the things in the border army more than half a year ago so clearly.

"Did Uncle Rong die in the riot of the mutant bullet ant colony?" Gu Annan asked again.

"No, it's not." Ding Xiu shook his head, "Uncle Rong died in the line of duty, the mortality rate of the border army is very high, and I am the only one left in our squad." ”

"So that's ......" Gu Annan's expression was a little heavy, he knew the risks of being a soldier, but he didn't expect Ding Xiu and their living environment to be so harsh.

"Senior, do you have anything to do with me?" Ding Xiu was a little curious about Gu Annan's intentions, and he faintly felt something in his heart, but he couldn't grasp that ethereal clue.

"I've watched today's game and you've done a fantastic job."

"Thank you seniors for the compliment."

"If I'm not mistaken, your ability to split bullets with a short blade at the last minute...... It's the power of war paint, right? ”
