This answer surprised both Xu Laosan and Chen Jianguo.
In their hearts, Xu Xinning has always been a remarkable person, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a fairy.
They knew their sister was capable, but they never expected the country to value her so much.
Now, Xu Xinning's image in their hearts has become even more towering. If she was a fairy before, she is now an omnipotent fairy.
Fearing that saying the wrong thing would bring harm to Xu Xinning, Xu Laosan smiled and remained silent.
He didn't know much about what Xu Xinning was doing, but judging from the fact that people often appeared around her to protect her, he could guess that his sister was extraordinary.
Although things are not as turbulent as before, who knows if some jealous people will stab you in the back?
Xu Laosan is no ignorant person.
Seeing that Xu Laosan was silent, Sato Takeru did not continue the topic, but instead brought up the camera again.
Takeru Satoh: "Your sister should have a camera, right?"
Xu Xinning does indeed have a camera; Mu Jingheng bought it five years ago.
At that time, Xu Xinning was pregnant, and Mu Jingheng said he wanted to take pictures of Xu Xinning's pregnancy as a memento, so he got an imported camera, which was a rare color camera.
Mu Jingheng once said that this camera was produced in very low quantities, with only a handful in the world, and that it would appreciate in value even if it was not used in the future.
At the time, Xu Laosan didn't know what appreciation meant, so Mu Jingheng explained it to him.
It was at this time that Xu Laosan realized that some things, although old, would become more and more valuable over time, just like those antiques that were worthless in the 1970s, which were like garbage and people would throw them away as soon as they saw them, but now they are becoming more and more valuable.
Xu Laosan is quick-witted and good at applying knowledge to new situations. Under Mu Jingheng's guidance, he has collected quite a few things with his pocket money, mostly stamps, and he has collected several albums of them.
Every time Mu Jingheng saw him handling these stamps, he would praise him for his promising future.
Therefore, it's impossible for Xu Laosan to borrow the camera.
He knew that as long as he asked, his sister would definitely give it to him without hesitation, but he would feel bad. If he accidentally bumped into something and it affected his value, wouldn't he be heartbroken?
Xu Laosan chuckled and said, "My sister does have a camera, but it was bought many years ago and is now obsolete."
Takeru Satoh: "Several years? That can't be right. Things are developing so fast these days. I bet it was still black and white back then?"
Xu Laosan nodded obediently.
Takeru Satoh: "I happen to have a camera here, the latest model, you can borrow it today."
Xu Laosan's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "Really?"
Sato Takeru glanced at Chen Jianguo, who remained silent, and said, "A man's word is his bond. I would never lie to you. This young man has just arrived in Kyoto, so you should take him around and have some fun. You can return him to me when you're done."
Xu Laosan: "Thank you, Brother Shao. I'll buy new film to pay you back later."
Takeru Satoh: "Don't be so formal. It's just a few rolls of film. If you feel bad about it, just take a few pictures of me too, and we can take a group photo together later."
Xu Laosan: "No problem."
Xu Laosan had thought it over. He knew the other party wouldn't accept the money if he offered it to them. He figured he could return the favor by bringing back some seafood and mountain produce from his hometown later.
Sato Takeru glanced at Chen Jianguo again. He hadn't taken a photo with Chen Jianguo yet; he would definitely take more pictures later.
Chen Jianguo was very agitated, and he could sense that Sato Takeru was looking at him.
He didn't know what Takeru Satoh was planning, so he remained on guard.
Would enemy agents have good intentions? They simply want to achieve their own goals.
Chen Jianguo really wanted to remind Xu Laosan that he felt Xu Laosan's brain had become outdated from staying in Kyoto, and he had no sense of vigilance at all.
Cameras are such expensive things!
He said he'd lend it, and it just so happened to be in the car. Why did he feel like it was so fake?
But if Xu Laosan asks him how he knew this person had ulterior motives, how should he answer?
Did he tell him that this person was an enemy agent?
Who would believe that?
If he didn't know, who would believe that the head of the National Security Bureau would be an enemy agent?
You might get arrested and accused of having ulterior motives.
Soon the car arrived at the entrance to the Great Wall.
Takeru Satoh got off the bus with his camera and went straight to the ticket office.
Xu Laosan followed, feeling embarrassed. "Brother Shao, thank you for bringing us here. You can go now if you have something to do."
Sato Takeru handed the camera to Xu Laosan and said with a smile, "It's not a big deal if we don't spend a little more time. I can get a discount on tickets with my ID. Since we're already here, I might as well go all the way and buy you tickets."
Xu Laosan scratched his head and said with an embarrassed smile, "That's so embarrassing!"
Takeru Satoh: "What's there to be embarrassed about? Our family has a very special relationship with the Mu family. Your sister and brother-in-law have worked together, and your sister has taken good care of my wife and children. It's nothing for me to buy you two tickets on a whim."
Xu Laosan chuckled, unsure of what to say.
He'll remember this kindness anyway.
After buying the tickets, Sato Takeru pulled Xu Laosan to take a picture, and Xu Laosan naturally pulled Chen Jianguo along as well.
Sato Takeru took a photo with Xu Laosan and also took the opportunity to take a photo with Chen Jianguo. Even though Chen Jianguo looked very unhappy, Sato Takeru was very happy.
This is the first photo of him and his son together in their lifetime.
Then they asked someone else to take a group photo of the three of them.
After the photos were taken, Takeru Satoh left briskly.
He knew that if he didn't leave, Chen Jianguo would go berserk.
He felt that it was nice to tease his son occasionally and see him with a sour face, but he couldn't push him too hard and drive him away.
After all, they had only known each other for a short time and their relationship wasn't very deep, unlike the bond he had with Chen Ping.
Speaking of Chen Ping, a feeling of hatred rose in Sato Takeru's heart.
Although Suzuki Eiko made the decision herself to infiltrate Chen Ping's inner circle, the thought of him monopolizing her lover and son for so many years drove her crazy.
For the first few years, he believed they were a fake couple, but when he went to see Suzuki Eiko again, he discovered that their relationship was more than just superficial.
He used to deceive himself into believing that they were still a fake couple, and that Suzuki Eiko would never let Chen Ping touch her. But in the end, Suzuki Eiko turned Chen Ping against her, so he could no longer deceive himself.
After Suzuki Eiko passed away, he sat beside her all night, unable to understand why she had betrayed him.
She not only betrayed her country, but also their relationship.
Sato Takeru had made up his mind. He would not let Chen Ping go. Before returning to Japan, he would not only kill Chen Ping, but also take Suzuki Eiko's ashes with him.
The entire family of three had to return to China together.
