Chapter 53: The Past

Cang Jingguo's face was flat, and he couldn't see a trace of psychological fluctuations, telling the story of decades ago.

I remember it was in April of '79, when I had already gone to sea to do business, and my business was already improving. In order to avoid suspicion, most of the business matters were handled by my son.

I remember that it was the alternation of spring and summer, and that year was a bit abnormal, it was already April, but the weather was still cold.

At that time, the enthusiasm of the people of the whole country was high, and while they were amazed by our strong military strength, they also secretly taught this white-eyed wolf who bit his master a lesson.

The war has been over for almost a month. Both we and Vietnam declared themselves victorious in the war. At that time, it was the beginning of the rapid development of our country's economic construction. As a result, the tense situation in the country did not last long, and the state was deliberately reducing the propaganda and influence of the war, which has stabilized after the stalemate attacks on various military districts along the border line in March.

Originally, these things had nothing to do with me, and my focus was on negotiating some trade matters with other strategic allies.

One day in April, I suddenly received an order from a higher organization to go to Yunnan immediately.

This was the first time I met Xiaobao, he was still very young at that time, he had just joined the team, and he was still a hairy young man, but I can't forget the scene of the first time we met.

It was in a small local military base, it was rainy in the south, I remember it was raining very hard that day, and I was still complaining about the bad weather with my fellow travelers, and Xiaobao was brought to me by local comrades.

The first time we met, I didn't think there was anything special about this young man, except that like most of the people who had participated in the battle, he was very dark, very thin, his hair had not been trimmed for a long time, it was messy, and his expression had the kind of indifference and alertness that only those who had been brutally combated had it.

We talked for a long time, and forgive me for not telling you the details, I signed an official non-disclosure agreement before we met, and I will never reveal the content of our chat to anyone in my life. All these years have passed, but the agreement is still in force.

When he said this, Qian Haodong was a little breathless.

"Old man! You see how you said so much, why did you start selling off just about to the point? ”

Cang Jingguo smiled and said.

"The content of the conversation must not be told to you, these contents are going to follow me into the coffin, I just want you to know how Xiaobao and I met, as for the content of the conversation, the details are too unbelievable, and it is really not suitable for dissemination to the outside world."

"Mouse! Be quiet and let the old man finish his sentence. ”

Cang Jingguo nodded.

"I can't really tell the stories involved, but I can tell you that towards the end of the war, Xiao Bao's team was about to leave Vietnam, destroying the enemy's infrastructure and strategy and buildings along the way. Near the old mountain, Xiaobao suddenly received a special task assigned by the organization. ”

"Special mission? Isn't it already victorious at that time, and what other tasks can be carried out? Zhou Chong asked suspiciously

"That's right! At that time, it was evacuation, this task was very special, it was not included in the original military action plan, it was a team of 28 people temporarily formed by the superiors, and the members of this team actually did not know the specific content of the mission themselves when they received the mission. ”

"And then? After the mission is over, what about the rest of the people except Bao Ye? ”

Cang Jingguo's expression was solemn.

"Except for Xiaobao, all the other members of this team died in the mission, only Xiaobao came back alive, and he also brought back a baby....

After speaking, Cang Jingguo looked at Zhou Chong with cloudy eyes.

"That's... That baby... Be... That's me? ”

Cang Jingguo nodded

Zhou Chong was shocked by Cang Jingguo's words and couldn't say a complete sentence.

"It's... How is this possible... That one.... That ....."

Qian Haodong was also so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, pinched Zhou Chong's chin with his hand, and fiddled left and right to carefully examine Zhou Chong's face.

"Holy! Bugger! I can't imagine that you still have Vietnamese ancestry, don't you say that if it weren't for the old man who said it, I wouldn't have noticed, you really don't look like a person from our country, I said, why do you usually look at you so ugly? It turned out to be a Vietnamese product! ”

Zhou Chong slapped Qian Haodong's hand that ravaged his face and scolded: "I'll go to your uncle's... You're Vietnamese! ”

"Haha.... Don't you be strong? What the old man said himself is still false? Today it's completely clear.,Co-author you're still a battlefield orphan.,Don't say that your life experience is also quite TM legendary.。 ”

"I'm a legend of your uncle! TM: Can you not add to the mess at this time? ”

Qian Haodong held his stomach and smiled back and forth.

Cang Jingguo was not affected by Qian Haodong at this time, and his face was still gloomy.

"Nope! Your life experience is not so simple, according to Xiaobao and what I have told about those encounters, you are definitely not an orphan of the war, the local comrades used science and technology to analyze and test you at that time, there is no doubt that your ancestry is Han Chinese, as for why you appeared in Vietnam, no one knows why, even Xiaobao can't say clearly. ”

"And then? How did I end up in the hands of my adoptive parents. ”

"At that time, the organization asked me to adopt you, and this decision was made due to two factors, first, with my loyalty, I can guarantee that all the details about you will not be leaked by me, and second, because of security considerations, I can ensure your safety to the greatest extent without touching the sensitive forces of all parties."

"So I should have been adopted by you at the time, so how could I go to my adoptive parents' house again?"

"That's right! You and I weren't supposed to be strangers like we are now. Originally, all the procedures had been decided, and I was sent to bring you back, but at this time, I suddenly received an order from my superiors, saying that the original plan was canceled, and Xiaobao decided to raise you instead. ”

"Didn't you all arrive in Yunnan at that time? How could you change the original plan so hastily, is there any reason you don't know? ”

"I think it should be that Xiaobao still has some secrets hidden and didn't tell me, and it should be because of these secrets that I don't know that prompted the organization to hand over all the control over you to Xiaobao."

"What are Bao Ye's plans, you really don't know anything about it?"

Cang Jingguo slowly shook his head and was silent for a while and said: "I don't know, Xiaobao must have hidden something from me, which led to the change of this matter, as for what his plan is, I don't know, and then he successfully handled the discharge from the army and took you to the city where you live now." ”

Qian Haodong said: "Yes, yes! You see this is connected, Chen Sanbao gave you to your uncle and aunt, and then it is possible for us to know the present from a young age, and then he lives secretly around you as a bystander. ”

Zhou Chong nodded and said, "It seems to be the case, but old man, you and Bao Ye shouldn't be separated, how can he have your phone?" ”

"I took the initiative to give it to him, he took the initiative to meet me once after coming to this city, and I gave him my contact information, so that he could contact me when he encountered any difficulties and needed my help in the future."

"So Bao Ye was funded by you? Those firearms and equipment, as well as the property of the Dragon Wandering Hall, are all behind your support, right? ”

Cang Jingguo shook his head and said: "You misunderstood, he asked me to meet this time so that I would not get involved in some of his plans in the future, in other words, not to meddle in all matters related to you." As for his property and funds, they are all his own. I haven't had any contact with him since the last time we parted."

"Own? How could he, a veteran, make a fortune out of thin air and own such a big industry, I'm afraid there is still someone behind him to support him, right? ”

"Your understanding of Xiaobao is only superficial, I once sent someone to secretly investigate him, and the things he did behind his back are a little dark, don't mention it!"

Zhou Chong said earnestly: "I want to know, old man, please tell me." ”

Cang Jingguo sighed and said, "Hey.... Now this situation is not impossible to tell you, Xiaobao organized an assassination organization by himself. ”
