"The children of the Ning and Fu families are both out there. If we can help them, we should. Why not let these two old guys get hurt?" Elder Ding said helplessly, "Our lives are coming to an end. We have to live for our children."
The other three were silent. They firmly stood on the side of the old leader. Who would have thought that the children had been causing a lot of trouble in private, and they eventually betrayed the old leader for the sake of the children.
Several people were feeling uneasy, but they pretended to be calm while saying goodbye to each other.
When Mr. Ning returned home, his wife was directing two guards to pack up. Zhou He's ancestors were a family of imperial chefs, but due to the war, their family was broken up. If Mr. Ning had not rescued him on the way, he would probably have died.
"Zhou He, pack up the edible things at home. When it gets dark, you can go to Old Fu's house to help." Old Ning knew the situation on the farm. Old Song and his friends probably had nothing to eat, so the things at home could at least last for a while.
"Don't worry, Chief, I will take care of it." Zhou He agreed immediately.
"I told everyone that I was going to live in a sanatorium in Xishan. You all remember this. After you leave home, no matter who asks you, you must give this answer." Old Ning told Zhou He.
Because of the relationship with the big boss, they had to give up the counterattack. Everyone hid themselves, hoping that the big boss could resolve the issue as soon as possible.
"Old Ning, when will we return to Beijing this time?" Old Ning's wife Fang He looked at her husband and asked.
"We have to wait until before the New Year. We will go there with Old Lu, Old Fu and others. We have to pack up everything in the yard. The children are all in other provinces and will not be able to come back for the New Year this year." Old Ning told Fang He.
Fang He has a good relationship with Du Ruo and Fu Lao's wife Wang Hui. The three of them have worked and carried out missions together.
Many years later, they got together again and prepared to go to the farm to help with the infirmary.
Before retiring, the three were doctors at the Military Region General Hospital. Although they worked as staff officers for a period of time, their excellent medical skills have never changed.
"My dear, the farm is under Ayi's control. Now that we're there, can we relax a little?" Fang He asked Old Ning as she packed her heavy clothes. "It's so frustrating living in the yard. I can't talk or walk around like I used to."
All of Fang He's close friends left due to family problems, and she used to only hang out with Du Ruo and Wang Hui.
There are families in the courtyard who are eyeing the grandchildren of the Ning family and arranging for their daughters to come to her to make their presence felt. Fang He has seen through this a long time ago and whether the grandchildren find wives is up to their wishes.
The older generation cannot live for the younger generation. The Ning family’s education methods have been criticized by many people, and they hope to start with Old Ning and Fang He.
"The night before we go to the farm, let's call the children separately and tell them where we are going secretly. We must not let them worry." Old Ning whispered to Fang He, "The children at home all have missions to go out. We can't help them, but we must not hinder them."
"You haven't dealt with anything since you retired. You were called by the old leader this time to cooperate with Lu Bairen?" Fang He used to be a staff officer to Mr. Ning, and he understood what the old leader meant directly.
"Ayi was in charge of this mission, and to protect Old Song and the others, he had no choice but to go to the Northeast." Old Ning watched the two of them heading to the farm and explained the details. "Old Song and the others were brought directly to the farm from the Northwest. Someone with ulterior motives wanted to exploit them, but who would have thought that Old Song and his children would rather suffer than beg for mercy."
Lu Shiyi is a responsible person. Several heirs have cooperated with him on things. He is meticulous and never panics when encountering things. His ability to protect these elderly people was probably a decision made after consultation with the heirs of several families.
"All of Old Song's children are gone. Before Song Hai committed suicide, he asked someone he trusted to take a letter to Ayi. He must have made an exchange with Ayi." Song Hai is Old Song's eldest grandson. The whole family protects this heir. For Old Song's safety, Song Hai exchanged his own life for Old Song's.
When Mr. Song first went to the farm, he wanted to die several times and even blamed Lu Shiyi for not protecting Song Hai.
Lu Shiyi promised Song Hai that he would never act rashly before investigating the reasons why Song Hai was demoted. A year ago, Song Hai's mistakes were investigated and he was vindicated. The last mission he led the team on was due to betrayal by a traitor, and the exact information was known to the outside world, which led to the annihilation of the team.
This was the most painful lesson in the history of the Excalibur Team 3. It was only because of Lu Shiyi, the leader of the Excalibur Team, that Song Hai's life was saved. For the safety of Old Song, not a single child of the Song family was saved.
"The attack on the Song family must have been planned by the other party. They thought that this would destroy you. Who would have thought that Ayi was well prepared to deal with it." Fang He was glad that they had a good relationship with Lu Shiyi. The children in the family got the news earlier and were arranged by Old Ning to leave the imperial capital.
Otherwise, if the chief makes plans and arrangements, the children will be targeted and either killed or injured.
"At the beginning, we should have let Xiaobin go to Ayi's magic sword. If he was in the same team, he would have gone to protect the farm, and we could have met at the farm." Old Ning expressed regret. At the beginning, he thought that the magic sword was too dangerous, and was unanimously opposed by everyone in the Ning family.
For a time, the actions of Mr. Ning and Mr. Fu caused quite a reaction. Many people began to wonder what the Ning and Fu families were going to do, and some even set their sights on the Lu family.
Mr. Guan was going to leave the capital for research the next morning. After hearing what his secretary said, he immediately went to the chief's residence to ask about the arrangements made by Mr. Ning and Mr. Fu.
"Haha, these two old men are planning to go to the farm with Lao Lu. With Ayi protecting them, nothing will happen. You can also go and investigate with peace of mind. I have the protection of the members of the Excalibur Team 3 and 4. The Hu family will take action only after you all leave." The chief thought of the old man of the Hu family and felt bitter in his heart.
