The vehicle drove into the road out of the city and approached the suburbs steadily.

Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the side of the road and blocked the path of the vehicle!

Swish——!

The extended version of Lincoln braked quickly, and the inertia caused everyone in the car to sway. They looked up out of the window at the same time, and when they saw the figure clearly, they were all stunned.

He was an old man with sweat all over his forehead, his back slightly bent, his wrinkled face looking at the vehicle in front of him, his eyes full of determination.

"Dean Liu?" Baili Pangpang asked in surprise, "Why is he here?"

"It looks like they are here to chase Wuquan."

An Qingyu looked back and saw Wu Quan also standing in the car, staring blankly at the figure in front of the car.

"But how does he know where we are going?"

"This is the only way out of the city of Linjiang. He should have come here in advance and waited." Secretary Jin explained at the right time.

In front of the car, Old Man Liu walked forward, looked through the front windshield, and saw Wu Quan, Li Xiaoyan and Qian Cheng sitting at the back. An expression of "as expected" appeared on his weathered face.

"You... have kept it a secret from me and it has been so hard for you." Old man Liu smiled bitterly.

In the sky, the dark clouds that were about to disperse gathered again.

Lin Qiye looked at the figure in front of the car, was silent for a moment, then turned back to look at Wuquan who was pursing his lips:

"It seems that I can't escape this time..."

Wuquan took a deep breath and said, "I'll get off."

He pushed open the car door and stepped on the road. Li Xiaoyan and Qian Cheng followed closely behind him. His originally stiff and dull faces suddenly became lively and his eyes sparkled with brilliance.

"Grandpa Liu!" Li Xiaoyan shouted, rushed forward and threw herself into the arms of old man Liu.

She looked up at Old Man Liu, her red face evasive, "Grandpa Liu... why are you here?"

Old Man Liu said with a straight face, "Humph, if I don't come, who knows what you are going to do?"

Old Liu had a gloomy expression, but the anger and resentment that had been accumulated in his heart almost dissipated the moment Li Xiaoyan threw herself into his arms.

One reason was that he subconsciously felt soft-hearted towards the children, and the other was that Li Xiaoyan's action sent a signal to him.

You see, the kids still care about me!

Old Man Liu held Li Xiaoyan in his arms and looked at Wu Quan and Qian Cheng. "You two, don't you have anything to say?"

Wuquan was silent for a moment, "I'm sorry, Grandpa Liu...we have to go."

"Leave? Where to? Don't tell me that you three little kids who haven't even fully grown their hair are going to join the army like Shen kid?"

Wuquan was speechless.

The excuse of joining the army probably won’t work, but he can’t tell the other party that he’s going to jail for murder, right?

Just as Wuquan was struggling, the car door opened again, Lin Qiye got out of the car and said gently:

"President Liu, these three children do have some things to do, but the details involve state secrets, so I can't tell you for now."

"State secrets... humph."

Old Liu looked at Lin Qiye with a more complicated look.

"After the inexplicable fire that year, Shen has been acting mysterious. Later, he said he wanted to join the army, which was also full of doubts.

It was the same when you guys came to visit me. I was surrounded by that group of thugs. The next day they came to my door with missing limbs and begged for mercy. The Li Group wanted to force us to move, and our entire family was killed before dawn.

Shen went to your place and hasn't come back for four years. Now you are coming to take these children away...

You guys want to kill me?!"

Old man Liu became more and more excited as he spoke. He raised his hands tremblingly and slammed them heavily on the front of the Lincoln.

Bang—bang—!

His face was full of confusion and pain!

He stared at Lin Qiye, opened his cracked lips, and spoke hoarsely:

"Tell me... who are you?!"

Old man Liu's voice echoed in the air, and everyone in the car, as well as Lin Qiye and others outside the car, fell silent at the same time.

After a long time, Lin Qiye slowly opened his mouth.

"President Liu, our identities are state secrets, we have no right to comment...

But we are by no means bad people. We are indeed soldiers. We are just protecting this country in a way that ordinary people cannot understand.

Shen Qingzhu is also one of us. What I said about his achievements are all true, and what he did is far more amazing than what I described.

Perhaps, when the war is over and our existence can be made known to the world, you will naturally understand. "

Old Man Liu frowned. He stretched out his hand, pointed at Li Xiaoyan in his arms, and Wuquan and Qian Cheng in the distance and said:

"What about them? They are just a group of kids aged 14 or 15. Are they going to do those things? This is too dangerous! I don't agree!"

“Their situation is rather special. They don’t need to do the same thing as us, nor do they need to risk their lives. Moreover, the place they are going is very safe.” Lin Qiye said seriously.

After hearing these words, Old Man Liu's expression relaxed a little.

He glanced at Wuquan and the other two in turn, and spoke with a complicated expression:

"Shall we talk to them alone?"

Lin Qiye glanced at Wuquan and said, "Of course."

Old Man Liu took Wu Quan and the other two to the side of the road and talked about something with a serious expression. Wu Quan turned his head from time to time to look at Lin Qiye and the others.

Cao Yuan rolled down the window and asked in a low voice:

“Qiye, that kid won’t take advantage of Dean Liu’s opportunity to refuse to go to the fasting center with us, right?”

If it was before seeing the memory of the fire four years ago, Lin Qiye was indeed unsure of the answer, but after reading that memory, Lin Qiye had some new understanding of Wu Quan's character.

This child grew up with Shen Qingzhu and would never do anything treacherous. He promised that there would be no trouble along the way and he would not use other means to escape.

"No." He shook his head.

As Lin Qiye expected, Wuquan and the other two soon walked back to the car. Old Liu walked forward slowly, looking like he had aged several years. He spoke helplessly:

"Since they are determined to go with you, let them be... Please take good care of them, please."

Old man Liu hunched over and bowed deeply to Lin Qiye.

Lin Qiye held him and persuaded him for a long time before finally getting him to leave.

Lin Qiye looked at the lonely back of Old Man Liu as he left, feeling mixed emotions.

But what is even more rare is that he can respect every child's choice.

Wu Quan watched Old Man Liu leave, turned around calmly, opened the car door and got in.

"Let's go."

Lin Qiye nodded, and the car started again, speeding towards the military airport in the suburbs.
