Chapter 106: Jing Yu and the Ghost (2)
"Okay, I understand."
Um?
Although Ghost was speaking to his own team members, he held Jingyu's arm with one hand.
Jing Yu raised his head in surprise. He looked at Ghost, his pupils trembling uncontrollably: "Captain Ghost?"
"You performed very well on this mission. According to the mission report, you even rescued a teammate?"
Jing Yu felt a little embarrassed by the ghost's praise: "This is what I should do."
"Very good," Ghost patted Jingyu's shoulder, "I hope to see you again next time. Have a good rest."
After saying that, the ghost turned and left, but Jingyu stood there for a long time.
Soon, Jing Yu's teammates all gathered around:
"That's awesome, Jingyu! Captain Ghost has remembered you!"
"Yeah, you'll definitely be able to get into Alpha in the future. I'm so envious!"
"When you become rich, don't forget me, your brother!"
“…”
Many people were chattering in Jingyu's ears, but his eyes were always focused on the ghost.
After completing the mission, the ghost returned to the office. An Tianyu was already waiting inside, which surprised the ghost.
He took off his coat and walked towards his desk. "Isn't this Captain An from Task Force 404? How come you have time to come to my place?"
The reputation of Task Force 404 has always been bad. It’s not that the people in it are incompetent, but because the people in Task Force 404 are always helping the general and even the president of the base to do some dirty things.
If Task Force Alpha is the sun, then the members of 404 are the shadow.
An Tianyu stood up from the sofa and walked towards the ghost. After the ghost sat down, An Tianyu supported himself on the table with both hands and leaned over to look at the man:
"Ghost, how do you know Jingyu?"
Ghost didn't expect to hear a child's name from the mouth of An Tianyu, this old man. He was really surprised this time.
He raised an eyebrow and looked at An Tianyu, but did not speak.
An Tianyu smacked his lips twice, then slowly straightened up after realizing his own misconduct. He offered Ghost a cigarette and said:
"Jingyu is my adopted son."
This surprised the ghost a little, because he had never heard of this before.
He just picked up an ugly duckling from the street and sent it to Ares Academy, but he didn't expect that the ugly duckling was actually a swan.
"Your adopted son?" The ghost sneered twice, "You abandoned your adopted son?"
This sentence shut An Tianyu up. An Tianyu cleared his throat and blushed slightly: "I'm not throwing it away, I just can't keep it anymore."
"Isn't that still throwing it away?"
“…”
He didn't want to argue with Ghost about this matter, because An Tianyu also knew that he was not right.
After all, the reason why he kicked Jingyu out of his house was itself against human ethics.
An Tianyu didn't expect that he would actually like Jing Yu.
Of course, this is not the most important thing.
More importantly, he discovered that his son, An Chengzhan, seemed to be particularly dependent on Jingyu.
This is something An Tianyu cannot tolerate.
So, in order to avoid some terrible things from happening, he chose to drive Jingyu away.
They had to make this choice for the good of their family.
But how could An Tianyu tell Ghost this?
It's clearly a family scandal!
Slowly shaking his head, An Tianyu just said: "Captain Ghost, that child is not suitable for this kind of work."
"I think he's a good fit."
“…”
I didn't expect Ghost to be so tough.
An Tianyu frowned: "Are you deliberately going against me?"
The ghost shrugged. "Am I that boring?"
An Tianyu wanted to say something, but Ghost had already made a "please" gesture: "I still have work to do, Captain An, please go back."
Obviously, Ghost didn't like An Tianyu's topic.
He doesn't like others to deny the person he likes, as it would make him seem like he has poor vision.
An Tianyu took a deep breath, turned around and left, slamming the door heavily.
Squinting his eyes slightly, the ghost leaned back in his chair.
Why are you mad at me?
nerve!
However, An Tianyu's attitude also caught Ghost's attention. After pondering for a while, Ghost called the principal of Ares College:
"Hello, I'm Ghost. Please ask Jingyu, a graduating student, to come to my office. There's something I need to know about this morning's mission."
At that time, Jingyu was writing a diary in the dormitory. He had kept this habit for a long time. At first, he always felt a little awkward, but now he has to write something in this notebook every day to feel finished.
Suddenly, his terminal received a notification from the school, asking him to find the ghost immediately.
For a moment, the pen paused on the notebook, leaving a black ink dot.
Jing Yu stood up suddenly, fixed his hair in front of the mirror, then closed the diary and put it under the bed, and hurriedly prepared to go out.
"Where are you going, Jingyu?" asked his roommate. "If you're buying food, bring some for me too!"
“I’m not going to buy food.”
"Where are you going then!?"
The roommate didn't hear Jingyu's answer because he had already run downstairs.
He almost ran all the way to the ghost's office door. After pushing the door open and entering, Jing Yu calmed his breathing for a long time. After the frequency returned to normal, he carefully knocked on the door and shouted: "Report!"
"Enter."
Jing Yu slowly pushed open the door, and when he entered, he saw Ghost working at his desk. Then he looked up casually, and when he saw that it was him, Ghost's calm face showed a smile: "Sit down, classmate Jing Yu."
"Yes, Captain Ghost."
The two people addressed each other in a distant but polite manner. Jing Yu sat on the sofa with his body straight.
"There are some things I haven't asked you about this mission before," Ghost put away the pen in his hand, then pondered for a moment and organized his words. "Do you... remember that we met before you came to Ares Academy?"
"certainly!"
Jing Yu almost couldn't wait to answer. Ghost smiled and nodded. Then Jing Yu continued, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to come to Ares Academy... I really thank you very much!"
Jingyu's face flushed slightly as he spoke.
Ghost was touched by his sincerity and smiled sheepishly, "It's nothing. I'm just curious, why are you wandering around the base? Where are your family? If there's anything your family needs help with, you can come and see me."
"My family..." Jing Yu's eyes darkened when he said this.
For some reason, the ghost also felt his heart growing heavier and heavier——
I shouldn't be asking this question?
