Zheng Chengye stared at the jungle ahead with a worried look on his face.

Maybe by this time, my family has already received the news, or maybe, grandpa is already on the way.

At this moment, he couldn't help feeling confused and his mind was in a mess.

He didn't know what to do next, nor did he know what kind of situation was waiting for them.

Time goes back to 8:30 in the morning of this day.

Zheng Yaozu had just finished exercising when he saw his eldest son, who had gone to a meeting at the military district early in the morning, walk in. His steps were less calm than usual, revealing a hint of haste and a little panic.

The old man narrowed his eyes, and immediately had a bad guess in his heart.

There was only one possibility that could suddenly make his eldest son panic, that is, Chengye and the others had sent back news, and it was bad news.

Zheng Yaozu calmed down and asked calmly, "Tell me, what happened?"

"Dad, there's news. The situation is..."

Hearing this, Zheng Rongli looked towards his father, and quickly walked to the old man. He took a long time to speak a few words, and the rest of the words were directly taken over by the old man.

"That group of old guys came together, and they want me to go there in person, right!" Zheng Yaozu's tone was full of affirmation.

As he spoke, he met Zheng Rongli's eyes and ordered, "Go get ready. I'll leave as soon as I change my clothes."

"Dad, you can't go. We can't be home without you! This time, the three of us brothers will go together."

At this time, Zheng Rongguang and Zheng Rongyuan rushed back together. They approached the old man while talking.

Zheng Chengdong and his brothers heard the commotion in the yard and came out one after another.

Hearing the conversation, several people looked at each other and immediately understood that in this situation, something must have happened to the eldest brother.

Zheng Yaozu looked at the people gathered in the yard, smiled lovingly and waved his hand, "What are you all doing here? Those who need to go to work should go to work, those who need to go out should go out, don't just stand there like an idiot."

After saying this, he walked towards his bedroom with his hands behind his back, smiling.

Although everyone saw the smile on the old man's face, which was so gentle and kind, they all knew that it was just a superficial phenomenon.

The old man said this on purpose because he didn't want to make everyone worry.

Zheng Chengdong looked at his grandfather's back, his face turned heavy, a firm look flashed across his eyes, and then he turned and walked towards his bedroom.

Watching the group of people following the old man into the living room in silence, Zhou Qi and the others realized that the atmosphere was not right, so they just stood there silently and dared not say much.

At this time, it is not appropriate for them to cause trouble for the family.

Seeing Zheng Rongli's serious expression, Gao Shujuan's heart skipped a beat, her body trembled uncontrollably, and her legs fell weakly to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Wen Xiuyue and Tang Yunfeng hurriedly reached out to support her. They whispered to her to calm down and wait and see how the situation develops.

Gao Shujuan was not in a position to listen at this moment. She just wanted to know about her eldest son's situation.

She pushed aside the hands of her two sisters-in-law, moved to Zheng Rongli with her legs limp, grabbed his hand and asked, "Did something happen to our Chengye, huh?"

Gao Shujuan's voice was shaking violently and her face was pale.

Tang Yunxin, who was walking out holding her newly awakened baby Doudou, froze in place when she heard her mother-in-law's words.

She held her son tightly in her arms and looked at everyone standing in the living room with fear, hoping that all this was not true.

However, seeing that everyone looked solemn and even vaguely uneasy, Tang Yunxin felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife, and her heartbeat was about to stop in pain.

She felt as if God had played a huge joke on her. Just a week ago, she had personally sent her husband off on a mission, and today, she received bad news.

Zheng Rongli supported his wife, looked at his eldest daughter-in-law standing there, and comforted her, "Don't think too much, Chengye only suffered minor injuries, it's nothing serious."

After saying that, he patted the back of Gao Shujuan's hand and continued, "Okay, my second and third brothers and I have something to discuss with father, so you all should go and get busy. Don't stay here and let your thoughts run wild."

At this time, Zheng Rongli suppressed his worries very well, and no matter how people at home looked at him, they could not find any flaws in him.

Gao Shujuan stared at her husband closely and opened her mouth, but when she heard her grandson's voice, she immediately swallowed her words back.

She and Zheng Rongli had been married for 26 years, so how could she not understand each other's good intentions? Even if he pretended to be calm and steady, she could still find out.

His words could deceive everyone in the family, but not her, the one sleeping next to him.

She knew something must have happened to their eldest son, and the situation was not optimistic.

Otherwise, why wouldn't the second and third sons come back at the same time not long after they went out, and the old man wouldn't suddenly turn around and go back to his room.

But as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zheng family and the current mistress of the Zheng family, Gao Shujuan knew that even if she guessed the truth, she could not collapse.

She had to stabilize the people at home and set a good example for her two daughters-in-law.

Gao Shujuan suppressed the tearing pain in her heart and moved aside to make way for her husband.

She felt as if her feet weighed a thousand pounds, and even taking a small step was extremely difficult.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Rongli winked at the second and third brothers, and the three of them winked at each other in tacit understanding, then walked into the old man's room together.

After knocking on the door and pushing open the door which was not closed tightly, Zheng Rongguang looked at the old-fashioned military uniforms that caught the eyes of the three people, and a moment of trance flashed across his eyes.

That military uniform is very commemorative. The old man participated in countless battles and defeated countless enemies wearing that combat uniform.

Come to think of it, the three brothers hadn't seen their old man in military uniform for several years.

The old man has always kept his combat uniform very well. He often said that the uniform is not only his honor, but also his pride and soul as a soldier!

Zheng Rongli's eyes narrowed, and he hurried to Zheng Yaozu, bowed deeply to him, and pleaded, "Dad, please stay. The Zheng family can live without the inheritance, and can live without any of us, but it can't lose you!"

As a father, how could he not feel pain when his son was seriously injured?

But as a soldier and a member of the Zheng family, it is their duty to protect their country. Even if they are facing destruction, that is fate. He knows that he cannot complain, and there is no reason to hate.

This is all fate, don't blame others.

On one side is his son whose life is at stake, and on the other side is his elderly father. He has no choice and no way to choose.

He only knew one thing: he could not be selfish and let their father die just for the sake of inheriting the business.

Knowing that the other party was well prepared, if he still let his old man go to the appointment, how could he, as a son, feel at ease?

Zheng Yaozu pulled out his hands, waved at his three sons, and said lightly, "Alright, I'm just going to keep an appointment, to save people, not to die, why are you so nervous? Besides, what are the strengths of the three of you and the other side? Don't you know it in your mind? So, what are you going to do? Are you going to give yourself away? Or are you going to give those old guys a few more hostages?"

His words seemed to be belittling his three sons, but in fact they were full of concern for them.
