Chapter 200 Alcoholism
Gu Yanxiao naturally understood what Su Xiangbei meant.
His brother-in-law, seemingly gentle and refined, was actually an extremely intelligent person.
Human selfishness and ugliness have nowhere to hide in his presence.
Gu Yanxiao gave a bitter smile and said, "I understand what you mean, but the country has its laws. Because of Gu Yanfeng's leak of military intelligence, not only did an expert who traveled thousands of miles back to serve the country sacrifice his life, but two of our soldiers also died. Gu Yanfeng's crime is unforgivable, and no one can plead for him or cover for him."
Hearing Gu Yanxiao say that, Su Xiangbei didn't continue the topic.
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Dr. Chen came in to change their dressings and conduct a follow-up examination.
After wrapping the last piece of gauze around Gu Yanxiao's neck, Dr. Chen looked at him, hesitant to speak.
Gu Yanxiao noticed his expression and asked, "Dr. Chen, is something the matter?"
Dr. Chen sighed: "It's not that I have something to do, it's that Dean Song... Chief Gu arrived at Dean Song's office this afternoon and hasn't left yet. He keeps asking to see you."
Because Su Xiangbei's identity needs to be kept absolutely confidential, this floor has been sealed off, and no one can enter except those with access passes.
Even Grandpa Gu, who once held a high-ranking position.
That's why Old Master Gu had no choice but to go to Dean Song's office, hoping to get through to Dean Song and get him to see Gu Yanxiao.
However, Dean Song knew very well that Gu Yanxiao had severed ties with Old Master Gu, and Su Xiangbei was still here.
How could we possibly let Old Master Gu come over?
However, given Old Master Gu's status and age influenced by the War of Resistance against Japan, Dean Song couldn't get rid of him.
I can only sit helplessly in the office, and have been waiting until now.
Poor Dean Song is also quite old, so he can only keep Old Master Gu company while he slowly drinks tea in his office.
Dr. Chen couldn't bear to watch any longer, so while changing Gu Yanxiao's dressing, he hesitated about whether or not to speak up.
After listening to Dr. Chen's words, Gu Yanxiao sighed helplessly and said, "I'll go there now."
Upon hearing this, Dr. Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he also knew that if it weren't something extremely important, Old Master Gu wouldn't be pressuring Dean Song so much.
Gu Yanxiao's expression shouldn't be this bad.
He immediately said with some concern, "Commander Gu, your wounds have just been stitched up, you mustn't get angry!"
Hearing him say that, Gu Yanxiao was both amused and annoyed. She patted his shoulder and said, "Dr. Chen, don't worry! Although we've broken off our relationship, it's not like I'd go and fight a seventy-year-old man! Don't worry! I'm just going over to say a few words to him!"
Just as Dr. Chen said, since Grandpa Gu had not achieved his goal, he clearly had no intention of giving up.
When Gu Yanxiao arrived at Dean Song's office, Grandpa Gu was still sitting calmly at the table, leisurely sipping his tea.
Upon seeing Gu Yanxiao push open the door and enter, a look of "I knew it" flashed in his eyes.
Clearly, he was very satisfied with his ability to accurately pinpoint Gu Yanxiao's weakness.
This is his eldest grandson, whom he raised single-handedly.
I'd rather suffer some injustice myself than cause trouble for others because of myself.
When Dean Song saw that the person who came was Gu Yanxiao, he sighed helplessly.
The look in his eyes as he gazed at Old Master Gu carried a hint of coldness and a sigh.
It can be said that this time, Old Master Gu's actions have exhausted their decades-long friendship.
The next time, it will be impossible for Old Master Gu to step into his office again.
With that thought in mind, Dean Song nodded to Gu Yanxiao, put down his teacup, turned around and left.
"Dean Song."
Just then, Old Master Gu suddenly called out to him.
"Commander Gu, is there anything else?"
Dean Song looked at him politely and courteously, but with a clear sense of distance.
Old Master Gu's expression changed slightly, and he looked at him with some guilt, saying, "Dean Song, what happened today was my fault. I will definitely come to apologize with a generous gift another day..."
"Commander Gu is joking. There's no need for apologies. What do I, an old man, have that warrants an apology from you, Commander Gu?"
Dean Song smiled faintly, and after saying this, he opened the door and left without waiting for Old Master Gu to speak again.
Old Master Gu's face darkened, and all his words stuck in his throat, neither coming out nor coming out. His aged face was covered in bruises, making him look utterly ridiculous.
Seeing this, Gu Yanxiao sighed and said, "Chief Gu, is this the result you wanted?"
Old Master Gu's eyes dimmed; Dean Song was one of his few close friends.
A few days ago, he had already exhausted his friendship with Huo Chang'an and Feng Yuanzheng because of Gu Yanfeng's matter.
Now, still because of Gu Yanfeng, even a kind-hearted person like Dean Song has been offended.
Now, he is truly all alone.
"Yan Xiao, Grandpa just... just wants to see you once."
Old Master Gu spoke with a pained expression.
"Do you want to see me, or do you want me to plead for Gu Yanfeng?"
Gu Yanxiao bluntly exposed the facade of warmth that Old Master Gu wanted to maintain.
“Yan Xiao… Yan Feng is your younger brother, your only younger brother…”
Grandpa Gu stood up shakily, looking at Gu Yanxiao with a pained expression.
"so what?"
Gu Yanxiao looked at Old Master Gu with a mocking gaze and said, "I remember, when I first joined the army, the first thing you said to me was, 'Military orders are like mountains, and the law of the country is merciless!'"
"But what are you doing now?"
Old Master Gu's expression changed drastically, and he was speechless.
“Over the years, I have strictly followed your requirements and never dared to be negligent in the slightest. But you were the one who made strict demands of me back then, and now you are the one who wants me to plead for a criminal.”
Upon hearing Gu Yanxiao's last words, Old Master Gu immediately spoke up anxiously, "Yanfeng didn't commit a crime. He just didn't mean to. He just drank too much and accidentally let it slip..."
"Did you drink too much?"
Gu Yanxiao sneered: "Does Chief Gu still remember what he asked of me?"
"No smoking, no drinking, no gambling, no laziness..."
"On Shao Zijie's eighteenth birthday, I had a drink with him and was punished by you, Commander Gu, with five days of confinement. How come Gu Yanfeng can drink all day long when he's on leave? Commander Gu, can you answer my question?"
