Chapter 120 Please Come Back

"Just over ten days ago, that professor from the United States came to perform surgery on Gu Yanxiao."

Huo Chang'an looked at Old Master Gu's incredulous expression, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He suddenly understood why Gu Yanxiao had chosen to leave the Gu family's camp and join his special forces.

If only Old Master Gu had shown a little more concern for his grandson, Gu Yanxiao.

It's unlikely. Gu Yanxiao has been in surgery for almost half a month now and still doesn't know about this.

In particular, the news of the arrival of the American medical team has been widely circulated.

If Grandpa Gu really cared about this eldest grandson, how could he not care at all?

"A professor from America..."

Old Master Gu's hand trembled, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Actually, he had heard that the American state-owned medical team was coming.

But why didn't he ever think of trying to get a professor from the United States to perform surgery on his eldest grandson, Gu Yanxiao?

Why?

Old Master Gu suddenly felt ashamed of himself, and he didn't even dare to delve into the issue.

Because the answer behind this question is one he doesn't have the courage to face.

"Good...very good...the surgery is done...that's good..."

At this moment, under everyone's gaze, he could only utter these few words meaninglessly.

“Old Gu…” Huo Chang’an looked at his old friend and said, “Yan Xiao is a good boy. You have such an outstanding grandson, something we old folks have been longing for! You mustn’t let him down!”

Upon hearing this, Old Master Gu raised his head in a daze, then let out a cold snort and said arrogantly, "What do you mean by not letting the child's heart grow cold? Old Huo, don't think that you can take Yan Xiao away by getting him into your special forces. He is my grandson, Gu Yuanchao's blood flows in his veins, and no one can change that!"

Huo Chang'an, who had initially felt somewhat guilty for taking away one of the generals from someone else's command, shook his head helplessly after hearing Old Master Gu's arrogant and stubborn words, and said nothing more.

Old Gu has been arrogant his whole life, especially now that he's older and holds a high position, which has made him even more dictatorial and brooks no argument.

If that's the case, why bother waking someone who's pretending to be asleep?

After the meeting, everyone left one after another.

Old Master Gu, however, seemed lost in thought, sipping his tea one sip after another, his expression so somber it looked as if water was about to drip from it.

Finally, he slammed down the teacup in his hand, stood up abruptly, and staggered.

"Old Chief." Li Hua, the communications officer who had been waiting by his side, quickly stepped forward to help him up.

"Prepare the car, let's go back."

Grandpa Gu stubbornly pushed Li Hua's hand away, his voice tinged with embarrassment and annoyance.

An hour later, Grandpa Gu returned to his old house from the military region in a huff.

As soon as he got home, he immediately ordered someone to call Gu Jianjun back.

"Dad, did you need something from me?"

Gu Jianjun rushed home, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw that his grandfather's face was ashen. He hurriedly and cautiously asked...

Grandpa Gu glared at him angrily and asked, "When did Yan Xiao return to Beijing?"

Gu Jianjun was startled. Although he didn't understand how his grandfather had gotten the news, he could only pretend to be stupid at this moment: "Dad, what did you say? Yan Xiao has returned to Beijing?"

Upon hearing Gu Jianjun's words, Old Master Gu's expression turned cold: "You really don't know that Yan Xiao has returned?"

Gu Jianjun was nervous, but he was determined not to admit it: "Dad, I really didn't know. I've been at home all this time except for work. I haven't even gone out for meals when someone calls me. How could I have known that Yan Xiao was back?"

As he spoke, Gu Jianjun couldn't help but show concern: "Dad, you said Yan Xiao is back? Then why didn't he come home? How is his health? Should I go and pick him up?"

Grandpa Gu looked at him with a deep expression. Seeing that he really didn't seem to be pretending to be stupid, he sighed and said, "Yan Xiao returned to Beijing half a month ago and has already had surgery to remove the bullet from his body."

"Dad, you mean Yan Xiao has already had surgery to remove the bullet?"

Gu Jianjun precisely controlled his facial expression, clapped his hands happily, and said, "That's great, that's really great! Yan Xiao's bullet has been removed, so there won't be any more problems in the future, right? Then our Gu family can once again have these two brothers bringing glory to the military!"

Seeing that his happiness didn't seem feigned, Old Master Gu's expression softened considerably, and he asked, "Is that really what you think?"

Gu Jianjun was taken aback: "Dad, why would you ask me that? Although I'm a bit of a scatterbrain sometimes, I know that one person can't carry a whole army. Besides, now that Yan Xiao has recovered, it's a good thing that my Yan Feng will have such an older brother to help him in the army, isn't it? As his uncle, would I harm my own nephew?"

In Gu Jianjun's view, Gu Yanxiao had already left the army, and all the credit had been taken by his son. Now, he could just say some nice things to make the old man happy without putting in any effort.

Hearing Gu Jianjun say this, Old Master Gu nodded in satisfaction.

Indeed, although his youngest son was a bit of a rascal and not as capable as his eldest son.

But compared to his taciturn eldest son, his younger son was much sweeter and better at making him happy.

This is also why Grandpa Gu favored his youngest son more.

"It's best if you can think that way. After all, they are the only two brothers in their generation, Yan Xiao and Yan Feng. They must work together and support each other to go further."

“Dad is right.” Gu Jianjun nodded repeatedly.

“In that case, have someone check where Yan Xiao is staying now and tell him to come back. This kid, now that he’s back in the capital, why isn’t he staying at home? If people find out, won’t they laugh at the Gu family?”

Grandpa Gu made the decision in one word and said to Gu Jianjun.

Gu Jianjun was taken aback: "Dad, do you mean I should go and find Yan Xiao?"

"What? You're not willing?" Old Master Gu asked with a dangerous look in his eyes.

"Of course I'm willing, how could I not be?" Gu Jianjun dared not refuse any longer and quickly agreed.

The most important thing now is to appease the old man and then clean up the trouble that Zhu Cuihua has caused.

Damn it, what's wrong with this old man? Why does he suddenly want to call Gu Yanxiao back?
