As the car passed through the gate, two fully equipped soldiers stood ramrod straight on either side of it.
Zizai sat inside the car, his hands gripping the window, looking at the soldier with great envy.
The car drove far into the gate, until the two soldiers were out of sight. Only after turning his head to look at Zizai behind him did he turn around, lean over the back of the front seat, and ask Yanting.
"Uncle, is this your workplace?"
Yan Ting nodded. "Yes, this is where Uncle works. Do you like it?"
Upon hearing Yan Ting's question, both Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying felt a pang of unease.
"I love it! So impressive! Uncle is amazing!"
Yan Ting patted his head again, "Really? Do you want to stay with your uncle for a few days? Your uncle will take you to see the military camp."
A strange light immediately appeared in Zizai's eyes. He turned his head to look at Zhu Qianying and then at Yan Shao, "Daddy, Mommy, is it okay?"
His urgent tone and expectant eyes revealed his inner longing.
Zhu Qianying hesitated for less than half a second before quickly giving her son a positive response.
"Of course, as long as it won't put Uncle in a difficult position, and Zizai wants to go!"
Zizai immediately raised his hand excitedly and said, "I want to go! Uncle, Zizai wants to go!"
Yan Ting nodded happily and agreed, "Okay, then Uncle will make the arrangements in a bit and take Zizai to visit the military camp tomorrow!"
Zizai was dancing with joy, and Yan Ting turned to Yan Shao and smiled, "Xiao Han, this is just a family trait."
Yan Ting's son, who is also Zizai's cousin, is already a high school student, but he has said at a very young age that he will not go into politics or become a soldier like his grandfather and father when he grows up.
Because he wanted to be a software engineer. And judging from the current trend, things are indeed developing in accordance with his own wishes.
Yan Shao remained silent. To be honest, he didn't want Zizai to go into politics or become a soldier, but what if Zizai himself wanted to? Or, as Yan Ting said, was there really a family trait?
Zizai is only five years old. For a child from an ordinary family, it's a bit early to talk about these things now.
But for a family like the Yan family, whose backgrounds have accumulated over generations, what a child should do and what he can do is basically determined from a young age.
Yanbo and Yanhan, father and son, went against the wishes of their parents or elders to choose their own paths.
If it weren't for his elder brother's probing, Yan Shao would never have imagined that his precious son might one day walk a path he himself didn't like.
Of course, all of this is just a harbinger and may not necessarily represent the outcome.
Yan Shao smiled at Yan Ting and said, "What kind of heredity is this? Are people not allowed to have a three-minute attention span?"
Before Yan Ting could reply, Zizai loudly protested, "No way! Zizai will be very focused! I won't be half-hearted!"
Yan Ting chuckled, "Hehe, you use idioms more fluently than kids who have always lived in China."
However, what truly made him happy was not Vic Chou's skillful use of idioms, but rather Vic Chou's expression that his affection would last.
What does "long-lasting" mean? It means that there is hope that the Yan family's family heirloom can be passed down.
Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying's mood was naturally not as excited as Yan Ting's, because even Zhu Qianying felt that there were too many rules and regulations for entering politics, and to be honest, she did not want her son to take this long road.
However, this is something that will happen at least twenty years from now, so worrying about it now is just being overly pessimistic.
Moreover, they came here for something else, not for the inheritance of the Yan family.
The meeting was arranged in a pavilion, but Dr. Zhao was an eccentric. Even though he was now a prisoner, he still insisted on his own professional habits.
For example, no outsiders are allowed to be present during treatment; this has always been his habit and requirement, and it remains the same now.
However, Zizai's situation was quite special. The police had to investigate the mastermind behind the incident based on what Dr. Zhao had induced Zizai to say. So, in the end, Dr. Zhao compromised a little. He said that the most he could accept was video recording. He couldn't accept any outsiders, and he couldn't even accept real-time monitoring. He could only watch the video afterward, and the video could not include him.
If there weren't no other choice, Yan Shao would never have compromised. They had originally wanted to watch from the sidelines, or at least keep an eye on things through glass, but Dr. Zhao said no; if it had to be that way, he'd rather not treat Zizai at all.
In the end, Yan Shao and Zhu Qianying had no choice but to compromise.
Right now, Yan Ting led Zizai to the designated pavilion, while the couple sat obediently in the car and waited.
However, Yan Shao had personally witnessed Dr. Zhao's sharpness and knew that he was actually very dedicated to his profession and never boastful.
Therefore, despite Dr. Zhao's many criticisms, he and Zhu Qianying still held almost 100% hope for this awakening operation.
"You mean the bureau chief and the others have also arrived?"
Zhu Qianying was unaware of this matter beforehand.
They arrived in a hurry yesterday, and because of Zizai, they only informed the police chief. It wasn't until they settled down at Lao Yan's house and Zizai fell asleep that the three of them discussed the details and came up with a final plan for today. Only then did Yan Shao tell the police chief of L City Central Police Station about the specific situation.
"Yes, after Dr. Zhao finishes talking with Zizai, the director and his staff will watch the video with us. Then, based on the clues provided by Zizai, my brother will try to get Dr. Zhao to compromise and let the director and his team communicate with Dr. Zhao again."
The so-called exchange was nothing more than interrogation.
"He's willing?"
Zhu Qianying was somewhat suspicious. After all, they had always insisted on staying with Zizai, but he had never compromised in the slightest. So why did he agree this time?
"Anyway, my brother has already come up with a solution, so we don't need to worry about it anymore."
On the issue of Dr. Zhao, Yan Shao admitted that he couldn't be as skillful and forceful as his older brother.
Last night, Yan Ting also expressed his regret, saying that the glorious career of the Yan family for generations would probably end with his and Yan Shao's generation.
Yan Shao didn't think much of what he said last night, but today in the car, when he heard him coaxing his son like that, Yan Shao was actually a little annoyed.
But he understood that he had no right to vent his anger on his elder brother. Moreover, this incident made him deeply realize that money is sometimes not as useful as power.
Even if he spent money, he couldn't bring Dr. Zhao back to China safely, but Brother Yanting could.
Although the process was a bit tortuous, the result was what they wanted, and that was enough.
Because of what happened to Zizai, Yan Shao has begun to reconsider the continuation of the Yan family's political career.
