Chapter 434: Meeting Father
Wei Zhenhua and Niu Zhongzhong glanced at each other, and then looked at Li Mai, Wei Zhenhua said, "What do you mean...... Obviously, you want to keep a low profile. ”
Niu Zhong nodded, "I think that's what it means." ”
Li Mai said bitterly, "I know what it means, the key is, what should I do? Cancel the birthday celebration and dismiss all those people?"
"No, I can't. Wei Zhenhua said uncertainly.
Niu Zhongzhong hesitated and said, "I don't think it should be like this." ”
Li Mai smiled bitterly and said, "You don't know my father, he is more high-profile than anyone else, so I can't figure out what he means." ”
Glancing at each other, Wei Zhenhua and Niu Zhongzhong didn't know what to say. Li Mai thought for a while, got up, and said, "I'll go see him." ”
As he spoke, he walked out, Wei Zhenhua didn't want to go out closely, Niu Zhongzhong was stunned for a moment, and then went out with him and brought the door.
The group of three drove two cars, Wei Zhenhua took Li Mai's car, and Niu Zhongzhong drove a land 5700 to walk in front, all the way to Sunshine Farm.
Niu Zhongzhong called his father on the way, because Li Lu did not say that Li Mai would meet him, that is to say, Li Lu may not plan to see Li Mai yet. But Niu Zhongzhong obviously couldn't stop Li Mai on the spot, so he could only call Niu Er on the way.
Over there, Niu Er hung up the phone and walked over to the study to report to Li Lu.
"Platoon commander, Li Mai is on the way, he wants to see you. Niu Er said.
Li Lu was sitting on a recliner looking at the scenery outside the window, when he heard the words, he stopped swaying, thought for a moment, and asked, "What time is it?"
Niu Er looked at the time and said, "Ten forty-five." My sister-in-law's plane arrived at about three o'clock. ”
He knew that Li Lu was thinking about this one thing, but Li Lu had his back to him, and he couldn't see Li Lu's expression.
After being silent for a while, Li Lu asked again, "Old Niu, you said that I will see him now, is the time right?"
Niu Er lowered his head slightly and thought for a while, and said, "Platoon commander, I think you are too worried." It is normal for a father to see a son. There is no law that says that a father cannot see his son. ”
Li Lu was silent again.
In fact, there is an obvious question - why Li Lu has been avoiding Li Mai. A lot of people are puzzled and don't understand why this is at all. Even Li Mai couldn't figure out why.
However, as a heart and abdomen, Niu Er knows the reason.
Li Lu's former identity, and Li Mai's former identity.
Don't forget, Li Lu's last position was the first deputy director of the Ministry of Intelligence, and Li Mai was the last captain of the 13th Short Knife Commando. The relationship between the Short Knife Commando and Li Lu, I believe there is no need to explain, the Short Knife Commando was originally created by Li Lu.
But what's wrong with that, and what does it have to do with their father and son?
The stakes make people like Li Lu not have to think twice.
Because, the thirteenth short knife commando was withdrawn!
The reason for the withdrawal is not something that ordinary people can know, but how could Li Lu not know it? Originally, his appearance caused many people to shout that the wolf is coming, and the government and the opposition were shocked, and there were all kinds of reactions. Many people in high positions today worry about one thing every day and every night - the opponent is coming back, and they need to brace themselves to deal with it.
This is what Li Lu doesn't want to see, what happened twenty years ago has passed in his heart, and he didn't appear with the goal of revenge and return to China. Rather, in the twenty years abroad, he felt that he should have done enough. The rest of the time, he hopes to be able to give it back to his family and his son, whom he has never seen since he was four or five years old.
The point is that he doesn't want to see too many people spend their energy planning against him, which will take up a lot of national resources. Li Lu hopes that they can understand a little bit -- I, Li Lu, will not ask for guilt, and you will do what you should do in your position, and seek your own government in your position.
Therefore, he has been avoiding meeting Li Mai because it may be a sign of Li Lu's resurgence in the eyes of outsiders.
He didn't want to give outsiders such an illusion, so he was waiting for an opportunity, the right opportunity, and then meet his son.
After pondering for a long time, Li Lu stood up, walked to the window and looked at it for a while, before saying, "Maybe I'm a little too sensitive." ”
"Platoon commander, you should have done this a long time ago. Niu Er suddenly became happy, "I'll call Faithful right away and ask him to bring someone over directly." ”
Li Lu turned around and nodded, "Go ahead, I'll have a good chat with my son." ”
Niu Er left happily, there is no doubt that the old platoon leader and his son can be reunited, he is happier than anyone else. In fact, Niu Er has always had guilt in his heart, a very strange guilt.
When something happened, the platoon commander was forced to go away and live incognito, and he was no longer able to see his wife, son, and more family members, and this isolation was 20 years! As a subordinate, he not only married a wife and had a good life, but also reaped great achievements in his career. This qiē was given by the platoon commander!
In Niu Er's mind, it is a sin for his subordinates to live better than the chief!
This kind of extreme loyalty can be found in many of Li Lu's henchmen and old subordinates.
This also reflects from another side how strong the feelings and friendships between superiors and subordinates were established in that war-torn era. It is incomparable to the various friendships in today's peaceful and prosperous era, even Li Mai, if it were not for the relationship between his father, he would not necessarily have the relationship with Wei Zhenhua, Hu Wenbing and others to get to the present stage.
Soon, Li Mai and Wei Zhenhua arrived. At the entrance of the villa, Niu Er stood there like an iron tower and watched Li Mai get off the car with a smile.
Li Mai got out of the car, stood still and looked over, and recognized at a glance that it was Niu Er, his father's henchman and one of the earliest members of the Short Knife Commando.
"Uncle Niu!"
Li Mai hurriedly walked over and stood up and saluted.
Wei Zhenhua also hurriedly walked over and stood beside Li Mai, "Uncle Niu!"
Because Wei Zhenhua's father was older than Niu Er, he called Niu Er his uncle.
Niu Er looked at Li Mai, looked at Wei Zhenhua again, and finally his eyes fell on Li Mai, and nodded with satisfaction, "Good look, grown up, a proper handsome guy!"
Li Mai and Wei Zhenhua faced Niu Er, a very legendary character, and they didn't know how to say something, and they didn't seem to need to say anything.
"Follow me, the platoon commander is waiting for you. Niu Er laughed, beckoned, and said.
Li Mai and Wei Zhenhua glanced at each other, and Wei Zhenhua suppressed his voice and said, "Why am I so nervous." ”
"Me too. Li Mai replied in a low voice.
Niu faithfully smiled at their backs, and did not follow in, but turned and walked towards the alert command center. The rest is none of his business, and always paying attention to the safety of the villa is what he should do.
Walking through the long corridor and through the courtyard in the middle, in fact, this road Li Mai is very familiar with, he had a meeting with Niu Zhongzhong here the last time he chose a concubine, but this time, he was unprecedentedly nervous.
Father is not only a father to him, but also a model of learning, a hero in his mind, just like his image in Haohao's heart. Li Lu's stronger military color determines that as a son, Li Mai does not dare to treat his father so casually from the bottom of his heart.
The key is that the rules of the Lao Li family have always been very strict.
What kind of scene will the father and son meet after 20 years, let's wait and see!
