At this time, Lin Yu suddenly remembered that Xiao Manru had told him before that he would contact He Erye every night, or contact He Erye’s lieutenants, to confirm whether He Erye was safe.
So since He Erye has lost contact with the headquarters for three days and three nights, he naturally lost contact with Xiao Manru, so Xiao Manru should have known about this a long time ago!
Lin Yu couldn't figure out why Xiao Manru didn't tell him earlier, and is still trying to deceive him until now!
Hearing Lin Yu's questioning, Xiao Manru on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then suddenly burst into tears without warning, with great grief and long-repressed grievance and despair in his voice!
Lin Yu was taken aback by her crying, and her heart jumped wildly. He asked in a hurry, "Aunt Xiao, what's the matter with you, is there something wrong with Uncle He?!"
As soon as the voice fell, he suddenly felt a chill from the soles of his feet to his back, for fear that Erye He had already had an accident.
Xiao Manru on the other end of the phone didn't respond to his words. She still cried loudly and vented her inner emotions.
"Aunt Xiao, don't cry...what's the matter, you are talking!"
Lin Yu shouted anxiously and asked repeatedly, "Could it be that Uncle He has suffered an accident? Please make it clear!"
"I...I don't know..."
Xiao Manru managed to control his emotions, crying a little less, and whimpered, "Since he left, in the past six months, he has only called me three times..."
"I only called you three times?!"
Lin Yu couldn't help being surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Didn't you make an agreement with each other and contact each other every day?!"
"That was before..."
Xiao Manru choked and said, "Before rushing to the border this time, he specifically told me that this task is arduous and that he has to perform tasks abroad from time to time. In many cases, he cannot contact me. In order to avoid the worry that I cannot contact him sometimes, So he canceled the habit of contacting me daily, and only called me when he returned to base camp... I also heard from elsewhere yesterday that he had lost contact with the army... ooh ooh..."
Having said this, Xiao Manru cried again sadly.
"So that's it..."
Lin Yu murmured solemnly, then turned around and hurriedly asked, "Then why didn't you tell me yesterday? And why did you lie to me today?!"
"This is what your Uncle He ordered before leaving!"
Xiao Manru cried and said.
"Uncle He ordered it? What do you mean?!"
Lin Yu was confused and puzzled for a while.
"Before he left, he specifically told me that no matter what happened to him this time, I am not allowed to ask you for help!"
Xiao Manru cried and said, "The last time I called, I asked me to hide everything about the border, especially his situation, no matter whether he was in deep siege or died at the border. Let me not tell you, let me tell you only good news but not bad news..."
"Uncle He... why did he do this..."
Lin Yu's heart seemed to have been hit by something in an instant, with all kinds of flavors mixed for a while, which was hard to describe.
Although he asked questions, he already guessed what He Zizhen meant for doing this.
"He did this because he didn't want you to risk going to the border, but for your safety..."
Xiao Manru choked, "He also said that if the war on the border escalates, and if there is any news coming to Beijing, according to your nature, after you know it, you will definitely rush to the border at all costs. If you insist on rushing to the border, let me do whatever it takes. I want to persuade you... In the past two days, the news that your Uncle He lost contact came to Jingzhong. I was afraid you would know that, so I went to visit Jiang Yan every morning and afternoon to inquire about your movements with her... But I didn’t dare. See you..."
The reason she didn't dare to see Lin Yu was because she was afraid that seeing Lin Yu could not control her emotions.
"Uncle He... why is he doing this..."
Lin Yu's eyes were red and his nose was sour. He didn't expect that He Zizhen would care about his safety so much. He would rather kill the border by himself than risk his support!
"Jia Rong, listen to your uncle He's advice, and listen to my advice..."
Xiao Manru whimpered, "Stay well in Beijing, don't care about border affairs... Your Uncle He may never come back, I don't want you to go and never return..."
