Chapter 365

In the General Armament Department, incidents occurred frequently. After Vice President Xu Zhang was hospitalized and Song Jingzhou was injured, the leader of Group 2, Yang Wen, was found dead in the western suburbs of Kyoto.

And that day he was going to keep an appointment with Wang Jingtao.

After the autopsy report came out, it was determined to be a homicide.

As a researcher, Yang Wen also has the habit of carrying a memo with him. He carries a palm-sized notebook in his shirt pocket to record his ideas and inspirations at any time.

Based on a few sentences in his memo, a phone call he made before leaving the house, and several pieces of evidence left on him, Wang Jingtao was identified as a major suspect.

The old man of the Yang family was a brother who had been through thick and thin with Wang Zhongli. He has been dead for more than ten years, but the old lady of the Yang family is still alive.

In Yang Wen’s father’s generation, there was no one who could take on the responsibility.

As a result, the Yang family has been almost marginalized for a generation. Although Yang Wen is not particularly outstanding, he has entered the Engineering Research Institute of the General Armament Department on his own at a young age. He can be said to be the hope of the entire Yang family.

This incident was a devastating blow to the entire Yang family.

It would not be easy for the Yang family to cultivate another Yang Wen, so the three generations of the Yang family aimed their fire at Wang Jingtao, and they were relentless, even showing a tendency to die together, which made Wang Zhongli extremely anxious.

In an ancient and quiet courtyard.

The gray-haired Wang Zhongli stood on the corridor with his hands behind his back. In front of him was a small pond with lotus flowers in full bloom. However, Wang Zhongli's eyebrows were slightly drooping, and his pursed lips showed that he was not in a good mood.

Wang Jingtao stood behind him with his head down and a dejected look on his face. The scorching sun shone on him. Time passed by minute by minute, and drops of sweat slid down from his ears, but he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction.

"If I remember correctly, you have disliked Yang Wen and his gang since you were a child, and you have basically had no interactions with them."

Wang Jingtao's face turned even uglier. "Grandpa, I told you, it wasn't me!"

Wang Zhongli said slowly, "I didn't say it was you!"

"But you did get your hands on the Engineering Institute recently, didn't you?"

"I don't care what that Yang Wen has to do with you. You're not a child anymore, so I won't say more. You should understand what you need to understand."

"Deal with the Yang family as soon as possible. Also, let me emphasize this again."

"I hope you won't get involved in the fight above. Our military's duty and mission is to protect the safety of the nation and safeguard the stability of the national border regime."

"We won't get involved in other matters! It has nothing to do with us."

Wang Jingtao lowered his head honestly, "Grandpa, I understand!"

"Go!"

"Go see your grandmother."

"yes!"

Wang Jingtao breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked heavily towards the path to the east.

After a while, Wang Zhongli turned around and looked at Wang Jingtao's departing back, with disappointment flashing in his eyes.

Adjutant Li, the guard who was standing on a nearby rockery looking up at the sky, came over and said, "Captain, let's go in. It's very windy here."

Wang Zhongli was looking at Wang Jingtao's back with a look of disappointment on his face.

He quickly began to persuade.

"Jingtao, he's young and doesn't understand the importance of this matter. He might have been taken advantage of for a while."

Wang Zhongli shook his head. "This is exactly what I'm dissatisfied with."

"I brought him up single-handedly, yet he still made such a mistake and is now trapped in this vortex. If he wants to move forward, he can't bear this stain..."

"I can't protect him forever. Now people are looking at me and..."

"What if I'm gone? I'm already this old, how much longer can I live?"

“Ah~…”

Adjutant Li was very angry when he saw that the leader even said such words.

"You're overthinking it. Jing Tao is already more mature and outstanding than many of his peers. Look at the Liu family and the Qin family."

"Don't even mention your achievements. You still have to clean up the mess at home all the time. Jingtao has been sensible and hardworking since he was young. I can see it all."

"A child of a few years old is like a little adult, so sensible that it makes people feel distressed."

Listening to Adjutant Li's words, Wang Zhongli's expression gradually eased.

"He does work hard, but I always feel that he takes some things too seriously. Sometimes, even I don't know what he is thinking."

Having said that, Wang Zhongli's face was filled with worry again. With the current influence of the Wang family, plus Wang Jingtao's own efforts, if he works hard, he will be able to go further than himself.

But there was something missing from him.

I don’t know if it has something to do with his childhood experiences, but he lacks compassion for the world.

He couldn't talk about his own child in front of others.

Over the years, Jing Tao has only been nice to himself, his wife, and Li Ruide on the surface. As for others, not to mention the people of the world, even to his leaders, colleagues, and elders, he has been cold-hearted.

But it's not the kind of superficial indifference, but the indifference and nonchalance that comes from the bottom of the heart.

To put it bluntly, he is cruel and cold-hearted.

Wang Zhongli couldn't help but feel a little regretful when he thought of Li Ruide's temper when he was young.

At the beginning, due to various considerations of Jingtao...I asked him to recognize Li Ruide as his godparent, but I don't know if it was right or not.

Now his temperament is becoming more and more like Li Ruide of the past.

Thinking of Li Ruide's temperament in his early years, Wang Zhongli frowned even more.

"It seems that I have to find an opportunity to have a good talk with him."

…….

In the villa on the farm, Su Qingci rubbed her eyes and walked out sleepily.

I picked up the cup on the coffee table and drank a glass of warm water. I felt much more energetic.

Su Qingci raised her eyes subconsciously and looked at the countdown clock on the LCD TV.

125 hours, 43 minutes and 27 seconds.

125 hours, 43 minutes and 26 seconds.

125 hours, 43 minutes and 25 seconds.

........

The misty eyes gradually focused, and then reflected a huge surprise.

125!!!!

Why is it 125 now?

"When I came in yesterday, it was eight o'clock in the evening. What time is it now?" She muttered as she raised her wrist to look at the watch in her hand.

"It's 8:07 in the morning."

"So I stayed on the farm all night, for about 12 hours?"

"When I woke up and went out yesterday, it was over 117 hours."

"It's 125 now, which is 117 minus the 12 hours I was in there. It should have only been 105, but now it's 125. So what did it spawn last night?"

Su Qingci widened her eyes and raised two fingers.

20 hours!!!!!!

Afraid that she had miscalculated, she recalculated it twice and actually got an output of about 20 hours.

Isn't it getting harder and harder to upgrade later on?
