Chapter 139 The Law of Love

"Hey, why did you come back, what's going on?"

Li Hong, who was in charge of the guard, was a little surprised when he saw Wang Xiang and the others suddenly came back in the middle of the night, but he was even more surprised when he saw that they were holding Su Ya.

When the day was over, Su Ya sweetly called him brother Li. At that time, Li Hong felt that his heart was about to melt.

Why are you being escorted back now?
"According to Mr. Li, the flow rate of time in the two places is five times different, so we spent a day there, but only a few hours here. As for the matter of Su Ya, this matter is related to state secrets, and it is inconvenient to discuss with you explain."

Escorting Su Ya to the back area, Wang Xiang called Mr. Zhao's secretary and got permission, saying that Mr. Zhao was waiting for them in the urban area.

"Let's go, Su Ya, I'm going to meet Mr. Zhao soon. Let me see how you have the face to face Mr. Zhao today. Let's see if you still understand a little bit of shame!"

"Ha ha...."

The dead duck has a stubborn mouth. Even now, Su Ya still hasn't admitted her mistake, showing a hint of remorse.

Arriving in the city, Wang Xiang met Mr. Zhao who had gotten up from bed late at night and was sitting here waiting for them. He got up from bed at one or two o'clock in the middle of the night, which was extremely difficult for a 70-year-old man.

"Old Zhao, we are back."

"Sit down."

Rubbing his forehead, Mr. Zhao stared at Su Ya who was standing motionless at the door.

When he called just now, Wang Xiang said two or three sentences to him. The first sentence was "We are back" and the second sentence was "Su Ya, treason"!
"Xiaoya, come to Grandpa Zhao."

He didn't yell or stay silent. The old man was as friendly as ever to the little girl he had watched grow up.

"Old Zhao, Su Ya is a traitor, she is not safe, you don't"

Mr. Zhao raised his hand to interrupt Wang Xiang's next words, stared at Su Ya and said:
"I believe that Xiaoya, who I watched and grew up with, will not touch an old man like me. Come, Xiaoya, sit next to Grandpa Zhao. Grandpa Zhao wants to have a good chat with you."

Su Ya, who kept her disdainful expression on the road, was at a loss at this moment. She had thought about all kinds of endings after she came back, whether it was beating her, scolding her, or ignoring her, she had thought about all these, but The only thing I didn't think about was the current scene.

Looking at the benevolent eyes of the old man sitting there, Su Ya finally plucked up the courage and sat down.

Touching Su Ya's soft long hair, Mr. Zhao recalled the past with deep eyes,

"Xiaoya, you have changed. You have changed so much that we old men don't know you anymore. When you were young, every time you saw us, you would rush over and hug us happily and call us Grandpa Zhao, Grandpa Wang, but later you didn't know When did this name still exist, but we old guys always felt that it had changed a little bit, and we didn't take it seriously. We just thought it was a little girl who grew up and would be shy. She was not as affectionate as she was when she was a child. gone."

Elder Zhao stared at Su Ya's face for a while, then continued:
"Like, really like, your face is just like your father's, round, but not fat, Xiaoya, can you tell Grandpa Zhao, what's going on with you this time, you have grown up We know it will change, but loyalty to the country cannot be changed when you grow up!"

"Wang Xiang knows, you ask Wang Xiang to tell you."

Su Ya, who has always been stubborn, finally felt guilty at this time.

"No, Grandpa Zhao wants to hear Xiaoya tell Grandpa Zhao yourself, not just me,"

Mr. Zhao moved the computer on the table over, and inside it was Mr. Wang's old face.

"Your Grandpa Wang also wants to hear from you."

Seeing Elder Wang looking at her through the video call, the unprepared Su Ya became more and more panicked, and finally her psychological defense collapsed, she stood up and shouted at Elder Zhao:
"Isn't that the case? I betrayed the country. I secretly went to trade with Li Yi behind your backs. I want to use your interests to go to Li Yi to help my Su family get a broader future. That's all. What do you want me to say, I have nothing to say."

Looking at the yelling and crazy Su Ya in front of him, Mr. Zhao couldn't help but feel heartache. He was silent for a long time without speaking. Mr. Wang on the computer asked:
"why?"

"Why, because you owe these to my Su family. My Su family has worked so hard up and down for so many years. In the end, I got nothing. As long as my grandfather falls, all the foundations of my Su family will be reduced to nothing." Once, I am not reconciled, I am very reconciled, especially when you locked up the only seedling of my Su family, you are digging the roots of my Su family, why can't you just open the net and let my brother go ?Why!"

Su Ya has completely let go now, and said all at once what she wanted to say, what she didn't want to say, and what she didn't dare to say.

"Suya!!!!"

Across the computer screen, Mr. Wang lowered his voice and growled,
"You know your younger brother, so do you know Lao Zhao's younger brother? When the country cracked down on gangsters, Lao Zhao's nephew was also arrested by the country. His younger brother knelt in front of Lao Zhao's door and licked his head all day. I hope that Lao Zhao can keep the only incense in his family. Lao Zhao also wants to protect it, but Lao Zhao can't, because his nephew has blood on his hands. "

Hearing this part of Mr. Zhao's past, everyone in the room fell silent.
"In the end, Lao Zhao's nephew died. After Lao Zhao's younger brother returned home, he also found a rope and hanged himself. That was Lao Zhao's only biological brother. He was the brother that Lao Zhao grew up with. Do you think Lao Zhao Isn't Zhao distressed? He is distressed, but in this position, he has to put the country first, and the interests of the country are always greater than everything else!"

At this time, two lines of tears also flowed from the old Zhao's eyes. He wiped them with a handkerchief, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Don't bring up the old things again. Wang Xiang, please escort Su Ya back to the capital. We will wait until tomorrow to discuss everything at the meeting. I'm tired and want to take a rest."

"Okay, Mr. Zhao, you have a good rest, we are leaving."

After Wang Xiang and the others left, Mr. Zhao took out a yellowed old photo from his jacket pocket. In the photo, there were two young guys in military uniforms. The smiles on their faces were so bright*** The sun was much brighter 40 years ago.

Touching this photo, Mr. Zhao sat on the sofa for a long time, and finally fell asleep at some point, but looking at the smile on his face, he must have had a beautiful dream.
