Chapter 598: A Thank You Call from the Elephant Country
Afraid that Lu Jingheng would not agree, Yu Zaiqian raised his hand and swore: "I promise, I will go home to see my father and let him know that I am not dead. It's enough for me to come back alive.
I'll go with you right after I finish reading this, without any delay. I also know that I must be honest with the organization about my affairs, otherwise they will think I'm dead.
It will affect my future retirement and various welfare benefits, Comrade Xiao Lu! You brought me back from such a difficult and hard place, why can't you allow me to go home first?"
After thinking for a moment, Lu Jingheng explained: "According to the regulations, you can't go home first. You must first go to the organization to meet with the leader and explain the matter. You can go home after completing the formalities.
Since you're a member of the Yu family and Shawn Yue and I have a good relationship, I'll make an exception and take you to the Yu family's house first. But we have to make it clear that after the visit, you must follow me. Don't drag your feet, okay?"
Yu nodded again, like a chicken pecking at rice: "Okay, okay! I won't make things difficult for you. I'll just go back and take a look, and tell my family that I'm back, and I'm back alive."
After not being home for more than 20 years, anyone would want to go back and see their parents.
When Lu Jingheng drove him to Yu's house, Yu Zaiqian was shaking all over.
The old man of the Yu family was feeding the fish by the fish tank. When he saw a car coming to the door, he raised his eyes and looked carefully.
He knew the young man; he was Dr. Bai's husband, the son of the old Lu family. And who was that middle-aged man next to him? Why did he look so familiar?
But there doesn’t seem to be such a person among the Yu family’s relatives and friends, so why does he feel so familiar?
When the two people at the door took a few steps closer, Mr. Yu seemed to be frozen in place by a spell, staring blankly at the man next to Lu Jingheng.
The fish food in his hand fell to the ground with a "bang". His lips trembled and he called out in confusion: "Lao San?"
"Dad!" Yu Zaiqian walked to the old man and knelt on the ground with a plop. "It's me, I'm back. Dad! I'm your third son!"
San'er? Lu Jingheng got goosebumps all over his body and complained in his heart.
Can you please talk to me properly when I hold your hand again? Why are you calling me "San'er" for no apparent reason?
Do you know that there are more words like "mistress" and "third wife" in society nowadays, which can easily lead to misunderstandings?
Yu Zaiqian: "..." It's you who have vulgar thoughts, what does it have to do with me? I am my father's third child, there is nothing wrong with me.
Old Master Yu trembled as he hugged Yu Zaiqian, almost fainting from excitement. He kept shouting, "San'er! San'er! Why did you come back just now? Where have you been for the past twenty years?"
Afraid that the old man would actually faint, Yu Zaiqian stood up and supported him: "Dad! I was captured and imprisoned in a dungeon in Elephant Country. It was Comrade Xiao Lu who went there to look for people and rescued me."
The old man then bowed to Lu Jingheng and said, "Thank you, Comrade Lu! I cannot repay your kindness. If you need anything from the Yu family in the future, please let me know."
Lu Jingheng immediately helped the old man up, as he could not accept his courtesy at all.
"Grandpa Yu! I brought him back to meet you, and I have to take him back to the organization right away. His case is no small matter, and the organization must be informed."
"I understand, I understand." Old Master Yu said gratefully, "Then take him there quickly! I'm already very grateful that he can come back to see me first."
The old man knew very well that according to the rules, his third son could not visit his family members without the organization's consent.
Comrade Xiao Lu's actions have already violated discipline, and we must not waste his time any longer. Anyway, San'er has returned, and as long as he passes the organization's review, he will be fine in the future and will always stay by his side.
"Thank you for your understanding and support." Lu Jingheng said politely, and really took Yu Zaiqian and walked out of the Yu family's gate.
Although the time he spent with his old father was very short, Yu Zaiqian felt warm in his heart: "Dad! Wait for me to come back,"
"Hey!" Old Master Yu waved to his son and asked him to follow Lu Jingheng first.
The two men drove to the team. Lu Jingheng handed the person over to Zhu Houde, briefly explained Yu Zaiqian's situation, and was about to leave when he was stopped by Zhu Houde.
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? I have something to ask you."
"What?" Lu Jingheng looked at the old man in surprise and reported automatically, "My wife is fine. She didn't even lose a hair after going out. You don't have to worry.
The two kids at home are doing fine, so you don't have to worry. As for me, you've seen everything, and nothing's wrong with me. What do you want to ask?"
Zhu Houde glared at Lu Jingheng with disdain, "Who asked you that? There was news from the Ministry saying that the King of the Elephant Kingdom called our country to express his gratitude.
You and your wife were specifically nominated and praised, saying you've made tremendous contributions to the Elephant Country. I'm curious, weren't you and your wife out on this trip for personal matters? What significant contributions have you made?
Don't hide anything from me, tell me everything clearly. Hey there! You little brat, why do you always make me look good when you go out?
No, that's not right. It's not you who makes me proud, it's my granddaughter who makes me proud. Hahaha! Old Zhou is almost dying of envy, saying that I'm lucky to have picked up a big treasure along the way.
I was just lucky and picked up a great treasure along the way. It's useless for Old Zhou to be envious, jealous, or resentful. Tell me, what did you do when you went out?"
When he said that, Lu Jingheng deliberately whetted the old man's appetite and glanced at him slowly: "You asked me to speak, so I will speak. Why? Don't forget, I didn't accept the mission from the team. I went to do personal business. There is no need to report to you."
"Hey! You little bastard." Zhu Houde got angry and picked up the teacup on the table and threw it over. "I think you are itching for trouble, right? Do you believe I will beat you to death? I asked you to tell me the truth but you are still so arrogant. What are you so arrogant about?
Don't forget that your daughter-in-law is my granddaughter. If you anger me, I'll take my granddaughter home and prevent you from seeing her for ten days or half a month. Then I'll see how you'll cry and beg me."
Catching the teacup thrown by the old man, Lu Jingheng was stunned for a moment and immediately realized something.
Maybe the old man would really do that. No, he can't leave his wife for a day. If he really can't see her for ten days or half a month, he will probably go crazy.
"You're old, but still so hot-tempered. Don't you know I'm kidding?" Lu Jingheng put the teacup back where it belonged and said calmly, "It's really nothing serious. It's just a matter of courtesy between nations."
Then he told everyone in detail how they saved Vasukoya, which left Zhu Houde dumbfounded.
His face was filled with anxiety: "Boy! You said that your wife, my granddaughter, is the granddaughter of the Vasu family in the Elephant Country?"
Lu Jingheng: “…” Old man! You really know how to grasp the key points. Can this make you nervous?
