Return To 1977 Chapter 134: Gao and his son
lnmao.org, the fastest update to return to the latest chapter of 1977!
After seeing off Hong Yanwu, Gao Zuoli returned home, looking very depressed.
With his look like this, even his wife could tell at a glance that that brat named Hong Yanwu had really given him a big blow today.
So after Gao Ming's mother asked about the news that the terms had been negotiated, she didn't ask any more questions. She just made tea for her husband, and then followed his instructions and went to the living room to make a phone call to call home the two sons who were still in the guest room of the guest house.
Twenty minutes later, Gao Ming and Gao Fang all stood in front of Gao Zuoli.
But until this moment, Gao Zuoli's expression had not returned to normal. He still looked as if he was seriously ill and had no energy.
The two sons of the Gao family had never seen their father push back like this. They were both surprised and had a very bad feeling. They thought the matter had been completely screwed up, so they couldn't help asking anxiously.
"Dad, are you okay?" Gao Ming asked first.
"Dad, what happened to that thing?" Gao Fang followed closely.
Although they were equally eager, their respective ways of asking questions undoubtedly scored differently in Gao Zuoli's mind.
For this reason, Gao Zuoli's reaction was to quickly raise his head, first glanced at Gao Ming gently, and then looked at Gao Fang coldly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
But in the final analysis, Gao Zuoli also knows that things like emotional intelligence cannot be taught manually and require a certain amount of talent. Although the gap between his two sons was like that of an adult and a child, it was something that he couldn't help but couldn't really care about.
"You don't have to worry about that now. Hong Yanwu and I have already negotiated preliminary terms. But I also want to tell you that from now on, neither of you will take a step out of the compound, let alone You are not allowed to stir things up without permission until this matter is completely resolved."
Gao Zuoli's words finally solved the worries of his two sons. Gao Ming and Gao Fang both took a long breath and nodded in agreement.
Seeing that his two sons returned to normal expressions, Gao Zuoli lost his patience. He immediately ordered Gao Fang to go out, leaving Gao Ming alone in the house to talk alone.
Facing this obvious differential treatment, Gao Fang obeyed unconditionally. This is not only because this situation has long been the norm in the Gao family, but as far as Gao Fang himself is concerned, he also knows very well that his father and brother are probably about to talk about something worrying.
Gao Fang is a person who doesn't like to think too much by nature. Even if you ask him about those things, he can't tell the reason. Therefore, not only did he not mind it at all, but he was happy to see it happen. In fact, in his opinion, as long as he listens to his father and brother, why should he worry about this unnecessary worry and make it difficult for himself?
What happened next was exactly what Gao Fang thought. After he closed the door, the conversation between the father and son in the room was almost entirely filled with annoying and worrying content.
Gao Zuoli first told Gao Ming the real situation that happened today in detail bit by bit. It was only then that Gao Ming realized where the disappointment on his father's face came from.
Similarly, Gao Ming was also extremely shocked. Because he did not expect that his father would use such extraordinary means to try to gain control of Hong Yanwu. What's more, I didn't expect that Hong Yanwu was so terrifyingly skilled and cruel!
This kid can actually spot this kind of trap! He was not afraid even when faced with a gun! This is completely impossible to happen! He is still a normal person!
For a moment, Gao Ming suddenly felt an inhuman fear. This caused him to fall completely into a speechless silence, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
It wasn't until he realized that his father was observing him calmly, as if waiting for him to say something, that he apologized in utter embarrassment.
"Dad, it's all my fault...I shouldn't have caused trouble outside and brought trouble to the family..."
Gao Zuoli could naturally feel that Gao Ming's apology was sincere. But the reason why he told his son everything was not just to hear such useless nonsense. On the contrary, he is a foresighted person and knows that cultivating a qualified successor is the only way to ensure the prosperity of the family.
Needless to say, among his two sons, Gao Ming is the best choice. Then he has to slowly sharpen his son like a knife, until the sharp knife is sharpened to the point where it can cut iron like clay, but it is hidden deep.
Even though what happened this time was a major setback, it could even be considered a serious family crisis. But in his opinion, it is also a good opportunity to teach this successor. So before Gao Ming could finish speaking, he impatiently stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Okay, regarding this matter, you have already admitted your fault, and I have also whipped you with an armed belt. There is no point in talking about this anymore. I just ask you now, what do you think about this matter? What do you think? What should we do next?”
Gao Ming did not expect that his father had no intention of blaming him, but instead asked for his opinion. He was a very smart man and quickly realized his father's intentions. After thinking about it carefully, he frankly expressed his thoughts.
"To be honest, I always thought you were just an ordinary logistics cadre, and I never knew you were proficient in such extraordinary means. In addition, Hong Yanwu's performance this time also exceeded my expectations. Logically speaking, he is just For a commoner who was reckless in the past, it would be possible for him to just become a desperado. But for some reason, after returning from the labor camp, he not only became good at using conspiracy and trickery, but also became good at monitoring things that ordinary people had no access to. I also know a lot about recording technology and firearms. This doesn’t make sense at all logically. So, I...I really don’t know what to do..."
Gao Ming paused, as if he didn't know how to continue speaking, and Gao Zuoli simply continued.
"You are saying that you think the other party is an extremely unreasonable and invincible enemy, is that true?"
Gao Ming blushed a little, but he did not dare to lie to his father and still spoke frankly.
"That's right. At least I can't see his weakness. I can't beat him in a fight, and it's even more difficult to plot against him. From my point of view, I can only hope that he keeps his promise and returns the film. In fact, the probability that this matter can be resolved smoothly and peacefully is quite high. I always believe that people may go crazy when they have no way out, but once they have hope, they will have scruples. , after the conditions have been fully met, the revenge has been avenged, the anger has been relieved, and benefits have been obtained, there is no reason to put us to death. The only thing to worry about is the problem of greed. I am really afraid of him. What do you think of being addicted?
Gao Zuoli lit a cigarette and took two puffs in succession. He usually smokes very relaxedly, but the reason why he is so anxious is because he has encountered something that really gives him a headache.
"Your analysis makes some sense. I am also confused about this person, let alone you. But if you say he is unreasonable, it is just a deviation in understanding, because existence is reasonable, and it must be There is some special reason why Hong Yanwu understands this. Didn't you just know about me today? It's the same thing. In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't know the reason. What's more important than this is that through this matter. You must understand one thing. That is, there are many people and things in the world that are different from what they appear. Especially Chinese people are very reserved and like to hide and deceive everything. Therefore, some things may seem ordinary, but in reality they are often different. There are mysteries. Only stupid people will only believe in superficial phenomena. If you want to avoid making mistakes in the future, you must be good at discovering these things!"
Gao Ming lowered his head and listened carefully to his father's teachings, not daring to be careless or interrupting easily.
Gao Zuoli blew out another puff of smoke before continuing in deep thought.
"As for what to do now, we really have to wait for him to take the initiative to hand over the film. This is no choice. This person is really not a good person, and we can't see through it. If this matter can be achieved From now on, it is best for you to stay on the same page and never have any contact with him. However, you have also said that he may use this opportunity to make more demands, and even if the probability is small, he will still fail to comply. Promise, it is still possible to expose the photos afterwards, what should we do if the other two situations occur? ”
"Then...then if he does this, he will completely push us to a dead end. Human greed cannot be satisfied. No matter what, I can't agree to him with one more condition! As for me ...At that time, I will have no choice but to run away with my brother..."
Hearing his son's answer, Gao Zuoli's heart twitched suddenly, and then very complicated emotions intertwined together.
"This is your countermeasure! Do you only think of running away in panic when facing difficulties?"
But Gao Ming had a bitter look on his face and asked helplessly. "Dad, we are no match for him, and I don't want to go to jail! What else can I do?"
Gao Zuoli really hates the fact that iron cannot become steel.
"You are confused! Who told you that to deal with a person, you have to attack him himself! Do you still remember the new request he made? It was not for himself, but for his second brother. This is enough to prove that, Apart from himself, he has other people worrying about him. In the final analysis, if everyone has something they can't let go of, it will become their own weakness. So if we are forced to this point, his family is our best target. ! Only in this way can we have a higher probability of success. ”
Gao Ming was silent for a moment. He had to admit that his father's words made sense and were extremely inspiring. But there is another situation that this method cannot solve.
"Then...what if he directly exposed the photos without asking for anything but just for revenge? Even if we plot against his family, it won't help!"
Gao Zuoli squeezed out the cigarette **** in his right hand, frowned and spread his hands, and finally came up with a solution.
"If that's the case, I certainly won't let him go. But you and your brother can only blame bad luck. I'm afraid the only way to survive is to surrender."
Gao Ming was shocked and absolutely couldn't accept it. "Surrender yourself? Are you kidding? Dad, we are your biological sons, not to mention that we were framed..."
Gao Zuoli simply slammed the table and questioned his son with rhetorical questions.
"I don't know this yet! But what can you do if you don't plead guilty? Are you really going to be a fugitive as you said? You don't even think about where you can escape to? As long as you don't leave the country, you will be arrested sooner or later. One day after I was caught. Besides, you are still the sons of soldiers. What will happen to your family if you really run away? How do you think your mother and I should have the nerve to continue here? ? I'm going to transfer my job and lose real power. How long do you think you can live outside? Remember, son, if you want to be a real man, you must learn to be brave enough to take on all consequences, even the worst. ..."
Gao Ming looked into his father's eyes and saw the unfathomable gaze staring at him coldly, but he still could not meet his father's expectations.
"But, dad, I really don't want to go to jail! Besides, it's possible to be shot for this kind of crime! You can't force me..."
Gao Zuoli really didn't want to see his son's cowardly face anymore. He sighed and stood up, slowly walked to the window, and then looked out the window and spoke calmly.
"Do you think your father will still harm you? I won't hide it from you. The general with limited legs and feet who lived on the third floor and wrote confession materials in the past few years was not only a founding father, but also the person I used to work in. The top leader of the Third Department of the General Staff, the old man later went to Fujian for treatment of his leg, but now he has returned to Beijing and is about to return. My kindness in taking care of him in the past few years has not been in vain this time. They are still thinking about me, and there is news from above that I will be transferred to another level soon. With such a protector, if something happens, we can go to him, but if you don't have the courage to face it. Yes, if you let me lose my dignity and lose my official position, then I really can’t protect you two! Think about it yourself..."
For a long time, there was no dialogue between father and son. Gao Zuoli had been standing quietly by the window, never turning around.
Of course Gao Ming knew that his father's words made sense, and he was very surprised that his father was about to be promoted. However, he still felt that his father was too cruel. In other words, he himself could never muster the courage to bear such an outcome.
But Gao Zuoli never got a courageous reply from his son. Not only did I feel extremely tired, but I also felt a little tight in my chest.
Originally, he just wanted to use this hypothetical method to teach the final test today, but he did not expect that his son would get a very poor score. It seemed that he could not rest assured that he still had a long way to go in teaching his son.
Because although his son has a pretty good mind, he is obviously lacking in the most important thing, that is, courage and responsibility. If we can't make up for this shortcoming, I'm afraid our future will be very limited.
For some reason, this reminded him of the scene where Hong Yanwu dared to threaten him at gunpoint, and even came up with a purely whimsical idea.
How wonderful it would be for that boy who doesn’t know what fear is to be his own son!
If Gao Ming had his ferocity and determination, he might not be able to reach the generals in this life!
