Chapter 317 I don’t want to go back to the army. I can’t bear to leave you!
"Didn't you say you were going to live here?" Su Mei looked at Huo Jianguo strangely.
Why are you still living here when everyone has been taken away? "Brother Qiang has invited Huo Jianjun to dinner. Don't worry about him. Let's just go back."
"Why did Brother Qiang invite that bastard to dinner?" Li Shufen looked at Huo Jianguo strangely, "That bastard is getting more and more shameless. Why should I invite him to dinner?"
"Sister-in-law, this is a free meal. It's probably not up to him whether he eats it or not." Su Mei was stunned for a moment, then she guessed what Huo Jianguo meant.
Li Shufen was still a little confused: "What free meal?"
Where in the world is there a free meal?
"Sister-in-law, what Su Mei and Jianguo mean is that Brother Qiang has arrested the eldest brother of the Huo family and put him in a cell. Isn't that just a free meal?" Yang Suhua also reacted and reminded Li Shufen.
Li Shufen finally understood. She looked at Huo Jianguo and asked, "Is that really the case?"
"Sister-in-law, it would be better to lock him up for a few days to prevent him from causing trouble for you or causing other troubles." Huo Jianguo looked at Li Shufen and nodded.
After explaining Huo Jianjun's situation to Li Shufen, Huo Jianguo asked Su Mei to go home.
Both of them were a little full, so in order to digest the food, they walked back.
On the way, Su Meicai asked Huo Jianguo about Liu Cuiyun. She said:
"Jianguo, why haven't you mentioned the death penalty for Mrs. Huo in such a long time? Didn't you say before that there would be no death penalty?"
"Commander Chen intervened... It's not a big deal, and you were quite busy, so I didn't say anything. There's nothing to say." Huo Jianguo's tone was very calm, with almost no emotion, as if he had really let it go.
However, Su Mei knew that this was just a pretense. With Huo Jianguo's personality, he would never give up so easily.
He just didn't want to show his feelings on the surface, the calmer he was, the more troubled he might be inside.
There was no way to persuade him about this matter. Su Mei could only hold Huo Jianguo's hand tightly and tell him that she was by his side.
"If you have something on your mind, you must tell me. Even if I can't solve it, it's good to listen to you."
"Something really happened now." Huo Jianguo said in a deep voice.
Su Mei knew what was going on. "Are you talking about returning to the team?"
The six-month vacation is over in a blink of an eye, and now Huo Jianguo must make a choice, whether to retire completely or return to the army.
"I can't bear to leave the army, but I can't bear to leave you even more." This is a very difficult decision for Huo Jianguo.
If Huo Jianguo was still competing with himself in his heart, Su Mei might not be able to persuade him to go back.
But what made him hesitate was himself and the troops, so Su Mei had to persuade him: "Huo Jianguo, go back! No one can sacrifice his career for love.
Self-sacrificing love will cause many problems in the future."
"It's not a self-sacrifice. Giving up and returning to the army doesn't mean I won't have my own career. When I get out, I'll join the Public Security Bureau and the Criminal Investigation Team just like Brother Qiang.
I don't think this is a sacrifice. Contributing to the motherland is meaningful in any position...Su Mei, I want to be closer to you." After serving in the army for decades, Huo Jianguo has begun to miss the warmth of his family. He couldn't sleep every day without Su Mei by his side.
He said at that time that the temporary separation was for the sake of a better future.
The words sounded nice, but when they were actually separated and faced with an empty house, Huo Jianguo realized how longing would make him unable to breathe in the lonely nights.
So he didn't want to separate anymore.
Hearing what Huo Jianguo said, Su Mei slowed down her pace. She asked Huo Jianguo: "You have considered this level, this is already decided!"
"Not yet... He trained me as his successor. I have been trained by him since I was a new recruit. He taught me all the skills he could.
If I don't go back, he might be disappointed." Huo Jianguo said with a long sigh.
The "he" that Huo Jianguo mentioned is naturally Chen Yilon.
Su Mei thought for a moment before saying, "Everyone has their own aspirations. If you are not just being timid and really want to change your career, I believe the chief will understand you!"
