Chapter 1211 Do You Want to Go Home?
Director Huo was not surprised at all that the young master came in person.
He knew that his master had revealed his identity, and he also knew that it was time to tell it and that he could not hide it anymore, so when he saw Lei Zhen again, he smiled even more.
"Master, I am from the prestigious Huo family and have been sent here to supervise you, sir."
"Every gentleman must have someone from a prominent family around him, usually two people, one in the open and one in the dark."
"I am in the light, and there is another one in the dark..."
Everything has been said, and there is nothing to hide. Director Huo explained the general situation so that Lei Zhen could have an intuitive understanding.
"Who is in the dark and where is he?" Lei Zhen asked.
"Young Master is very clever, why not take a guess?" Director Huo said with a smile, "I believe that with your wisdom, you will definitely be able to guess who is in the dark."
Lei Zhen frowned. It was really hard to guess what was going on since this person was hiding in the dark.
He went through all the people he knew, and none of them seemed like they were hiding in the dark... Wait, there was one person who looked a lot like him.
A figure appeared in my mind. If I was not mistaken, it should be the one hiding in the dark.
"Master, have you guessed it?"
"King Han, head of the Han family!"
"How did you guess it was him?"
"I've always wondered how he managed to raise so many soldiers. And when he gave me soldiers, he was very clear about it. It seemed like he had decided on me."
King Han, he is definitely hiding in the dark.
He clearly has no money, but he can afford to support so many soldiers; he clearly has no major connections with them, but he puts all the chips on himself.
Is it reasonable?
If he was hiding in the shadows, then it all made sense.
Someone gave him money to support his soldiers, so when he encountered problems, he would give his soldiers to him without hesitation, without hesitation.
"Only my father could do something so sneaky as this. As the king of spies, he always has to have a backup plan."
"It seems like nothing works all day long. Whether it's the family faction or the polling bureau, everything is in disarray. They can't even get real power out of the family faction."
"These are all illusions! If the family faction rebels, what awaits them will probably be a bloody trampling by the bandit clan..."
After finishing his guess in one breath, Lei Zhen lit a cigarette and stared at Director Huo.
"Hahaha, the young master is as meticulous as a thread. The King of Han is indeed the one hiding in the dark."
"Okay, stop praising me. You've been telling me everything, sending me your daughter, your soldiers, and even your two sons. If I can't figure this out, I'm a pig."
"It's quite obvious indeed. King Han still isn't very good at being a secret agent. Fortunately, he's made a lot of progress over the years..."
After figuring it out, Lei Zhen was deeply moved.
Although this old man is unreliable, he still leaves himself a way out at the critical moment.
No matter what the circumstances, even if he is being hunted by his family, there will always be a group of people to protect him from being killed.
In other words, it doesn’t matter whether the son can become a husband or not; what matters is that he is alive.
As a father, I have to ensure the safety of my eldest son, otherwise I would be derelict in my duty as a father.
"Uncle Huo, what is your relationship with my father?"
"Monitor or assist, or rather..."
The question was quite direct because Lei Hongwu also spoke to him directly.
On the other hand, those sent down from above must be loyal to their superiors. Whether it is surveillance or other matters, they must prioritize protecting the interests of the upper echelons.
"Do you believe in personal charm?" Director Huo laughed. "At the beginning, it was indeed surveillance, but gradually it changed. Your father's personal charm is so strong that both I and the King of Han are very willing to be brothers with him."
This was probably the truth, and there was no need for him to deceive.
Although in Lei Zhen's eyes, his father is extremely unreliable, this is only the perspective of a son, and it is definitely different for others.
In time, when my son grows up, he will also think that I am extremely unreliable. That is from my son's perspective.
But from the perspective of the Lei Zhen brothers, this is an extremely reliable person.
Not only is he reliable, but he is also willing to go through fire and water for his brothers. You will always gain something by being his brother.
"He has no charm at all. You've all been deceived." Lei Zhen curled his lips and said, "Let's not talk about him for now. Is Long Shu willing to come?"
The subject then changed and began to talk about women.
It must be said that although Long Shu is actually very old, she still looks like a young girl.
As a little boy, Lei Zhen must play it if he has never played it before.
"Master, it's hard to say." Director Huo said with a wry smile: "You can choose anyone else, why choose Long Shu? The Long family is not a prominent family, but a famous family. Even a prominent family may not be able to marry into a famous family."
"You didn't even give me a chance to choose? Among the famous families, I've only seen one, Long Shu. If I could change a group, I might not choose her. This is not my problem, okay?" Lei Zhen complained.
But there's nothing wrong with it, nothing wrong at all.
He had only seen Long Shu, and no one else.
Of course I have to propose marriage to the Long family. If I can change a batch of girls like in a KTV, I have to pick and choose carefully to find the most attractive one.
"What you said seems to make sense..."
"Uncle Huo, is a famous family more important than a prestigious family?"
"That's not the case. Let me give you an example and you'll understand. For example, a family of scholars wouldn't usually choose to marry their daughters to nouveau riche, right? Although a prominent family isn't nouveau riche, the relationship between them and a famous family is probably like this."
"Does it mean that the relationship between famous families and prominent families is not good?"
"It's not bad. You can understand it as interdependence, but you can only understand the details after you actually see it. It can't be explained in a few words..."
It is indeed not something that can be explained in a few words, but Lei Zhen roughly understood it.
To put it simply, fish seek fish, shrimp seek shrimp, and turtle seek tortoise. It seems to be a match made in heaven, but it is actually much more complicated than that.
It may involve the occupations of ancestors and what they are doing now, including various family concepts, family teachings, etc.
"It's so complicated. I'll talk about it later."
"By the way, Uncle Huo, you can't go home?"
After chatting for a long time, this question finally became the topic of Lei Zhen's discussion.
"Once you're out, you can't go back. This is my choice." Director Huo laughed. "That's how the world is. Once you come down from a high place, it's hard to go back. Think of it like falling from the top of a mountain to the foot. Can you climb back up?"
"That's true. It's almost impossible for someone standing on the top of the mountain to climb back up..." Lei Zhen agreed deeply.
Too many people climb to the top of the mountain, but once they fall down, they can never come back.
"I am a criminal." Director Huo said in a deep voice.
"Uncle Huo, do you want to go home?"
Lei Zhen ignored his words, looked at him intently, and only asked him if he wanted to go home.
