Director You laughed, opened my Transfer report, perfunctorily flipped through it, and said: "I can see that your opinion of me is very big! That day at the meeting, you stood up and left the meeting in a rage. I've always wanted to talk to you, but there have been too many things happening these past few days. Until today, I think it's time to have a good talk with you. "

I mustered my courage and said, "I also want to communicate with Director You."

Director You pinched the bridge of his nose with two fingers and his body swayed a few times before he said: "Why don't you tell me first, Xiao Zhao. I want to hear what lines you have prepared today.

Even I can't believe how I dared to be so calm and daring in front of a Chinese general!

When the Director You heard this, he was unexpectedly calm. He actually was able to giggle, and said: "Xiao Zhao, you actually dare to speak the truth!"

I replied, slightly angry, "I don't like to lie. Therefore, if you have offended any of the Director You s, please forgive me. "

Director You said: "Alright, now that you have finished speaking, shouldn't it be my turn to speak?"

I said, "Please speak, Director You. I will definitely listen carefully."

Director You said: "There are only two things I want to ask you to come here today. Firstly, I want to tell you a story. Secondly, I want you to see something."

I was slightly surprised, but continued to listen.

Director You stood up with both hands behind his back. His eyes revealed a mysterious divine light which contained memories, sadness, longing and many other heavy elements.

Director You said, "Let me tell you a story first. It happened in 1979, when I was still a platoon leader, and one day I received a special order … "

Hearing this, I couldn't help but have many doubts, thinking to myself, what kind of medicine is Director You telling me, why would he tell me these stories?

The Director You continued: "What orders? That year was the most intense year of the Chinese counterattack against Vietnam. Secret Service had sent over twenty security personnel to train in Vietnam. This included me and a platoon leader named Hu Zi. Hu Zi and I were soldiers for a year, so we had a good relationship. Once we entered the battlefield, we were together … People who have been on the battlefield will be able to understand the value of friendship in war. Tiger and I fought together, ate together, slept together, and killed Vietnamese devils together. Because Hu Zi had fought valiantly and bravely, he was praised by his superiors many times. I was also happy for his growth and progress … But one day, just as I was cleaning up the battlefield after winning a war, a wounded Vietnamese devil suddenly got up and pointed a gun at me … "

Hearing this, I became even more surprised and puzzled. Why was Director You telling me all this, could it be to flaunt his battle achievements to me?

At the same time, I am also a little puzzled, why would the Central Service, as the King's Army beside the Great Clan Leader, be sent to the battlefield to train? That seems a little hard to believe, doesn't it?

Before this, I had heard many rumors about it. They said that there were a few generals and vice leaders in the Secret Service who had personally been to Vietnam, and up till now, I had never been able to understand it in detail. The Director You's words were not wrong in these rumors. But the situation was puzzling, because, as the leader of the security forces, in times of peace, they generally did not participate in the war. As for the fact that he was sent to Vietnam to fight back in self-defence, that was even more incredible. I had been skeptical about it, and had consciously gone to the Twilight Group's Historical Society to look for evidence, but I hadn't been able to find any information that differed.

However, I started to make guesses in my heart about Director You's intentions.

I couldn't understand what he meant by bringing up this part of the history of Vietnam.

Therefore, in doubt, I could only continue to listen patiently.

The Director You continued, "At that time I didn't have time to react, and seeing that the gun was pointed at me, in that instant, I thought that I was done for … But when the shot was fired, a figure suddenly jumped in front of me and took the bullet for me. This person was none other than the Tiger Platoon Leader. "The bullet passed through Hu Zi's chest …"

I feel that the story told by the Director You is actually so similar to the scene in the movie.

What was this? Is he trying to teach me about what happened on the battlefield? Or could it be that Director You is trying to use his battle friendship description to mobilize me and Director Qi to resolve our previous animosity and strike up a new friendly conversation?

If it was this motive, then it was nothing. However, this detour seemed to have gone too far.

It had already gone all the way to the defense of Vietnam!

Although his heart was filled with doubts, he continued to listen to Director You's story, "Hu Zi died after trying to save him. He died to save me. If he hadn't pounced on me, then the one who died wouldn't have been Hu Zi, but me. Before Hu Zi died, he entrusted me to do three things for him. One was to do good work for him in the Secret Service and fulfill his unfulfilled wish. The other was to entrust me to take care of his son Xiao Qiang. When Hu Zi left, his son became an orphan … " Speaking to here, Director You actually extended his hand to wipe his eye sockets. I, who was very clear on the situation, realized that his eyes were brimming with something bright.

Director You calmed down for a moment, then continued: "Hu Zi asked me to take care of his son, Xiao Qiang, hold my hand and beg me. In the future, let Xiao Qiang join the Secret Service as a soldier, preferably as a official. At that time, I was extremely agitated. Tears flowed down my face, because I clearly knew that this tiger who was on the verge of death was my savior. He had used his own life to exchange for the lives of his comrades. I felt both guilty and touched. I immediately expressed it to Hu Zi, telling him to be at ease, and even swore to him on the spot that if he didn't mind, if I gave birth to a daughter in the future, I would be willing to betroth my own daughter to Xiao Qiang … It is also the best way for me to repay my savior in the underworld … "

At this point, I finally understood a bit of what was going on.

However, I was struck by an intense earthquake!

Looking at Director You's sad eyes and regretful expression, I instantly understood a lot.

I continued to ask: "That Xiao Qiang, is he the current Director Qi?"

Director You nodded, "That's right. Director Qi was Hu Zi's son, Xiao Qiang. At that time, after returning back to Secret Service from Vietnam, I memorized Hu Zi's instructions and wanted to bring the Xiao Qiang over to raise by myself. However, Xiao Qiang's grandma wouldn't let me go no matter what. Later, after the death of Xiao Qiang's grandmother, Xiao Qiang was raised by his uncle until the age of 17. Later on, through our relationship, I allowed Xiao Qiang to enter the military academy. He was still considered to be doing his best, and his academic and military achievements were always among the best. Although Xiao Qiang is now an adult and has a future, in my heart, there are always some faint uneasiness, regret, and even apologies. I feel like I haven't been able to fulfill the last wish that a good comrade has given me, and I've caused Xiao Qiang to suffer a lot during his youth … "

Director You seemed to be a little choked up when he said till here.

This is the first time I have heard the Director You recount such an extraordinary past.

Amidst my shock, I thought of many, many things.

Perhaps this story has solved many doubts, but it has also struck a deep chord in my heart.

Director You continued: "Until now, I would often think of that old comrade who blocked the spear for me. Every time I saw Director Qi, I would think of his father, who exchanged his life for my life on the battlefield, and his father, who used his own death to give me the chance to live. I have always wanted to extend my guilt and gratitude towards my son as well as my friendship with him. I wanted to do my best to create any possible chance possible for him because of my dead comrade, to make him rest in peace. Director Qi was also able to do well and worked hard to improve himself.

Perhaps, at this very moment, I can understand the difficulties and thoughts of Director You.

He spoke very clearly. When it came to the past, there were actually two lines of tiny tears that rolled in his eyes. Although they did not squeeze out his eyes, they were exceptionally clear.

He wasn't trying to lie to me with a beautiful story, but this story made me understand a lot in an instant.

So it turned out that there was a reason why the Director You was biased towards the Director Qi.

Although they should be impartial and treat others equally, who would have the experience of being in a high position in the Director You, what should they do?

I believe that the Director You's heart is also unusually conflicted. When the Director Qi made his mistake, his mood was even more dejected and angry than mine, but in order to fulfill his promise to his comrades, he still risked the danger of being misunderstood by his subordinates and openly helped the Director Qi withstand all of the pressure. Also, at this moment, I finally understood why the Yu Clan wanted Director Qi to be their son-in-law so badly. So it turned out that there was actually such a relationship between the two of them.

To be exact, I was a little impressed. I pondered for a long time before saying, "Director You, maybe you're right!"

As I said this, I suddenly felt a sense of heartache.

Director You sighed lightly, and held onto my shoulder: "But I have wronged you because of this! I let you, a great savior of the Secret Service, see the results when Chen Qiong gets the snow. "

I said, "Director You, if you had told me these things back then, I might not have competed with you anymore. After all, the reason why Director Qi did all those things was also because of … I didn't mean to destroy him after getting stuck with the situation. I just wanted to give myself a reasonable consolation by giving the department a fair deal. "

Director You said: "This story, aside from You Meng's mother, I have never told it to anyone else. The reason why I'm telling you today, is to let you understand that Director You's eyes are bright. I know that the grievances that you've suffered, Xiao Zhao, is because I wanted to keep you alive. You are the Security Secretary that Secret Service is most proud of, and you have done meritorious deeds for Secret Service, all of which Director You will remember in their hearts. "

After Director You finished speaking, he returned to his desk and sat back down on the chair. He took out a few pages from the left side of the folder and handed it over.

Director You said: "Xiao Zhao, look at this."

I took it and looked at it doubtfully.

On the cover of the letter was written: Transfer report.

The signature was actually Director Qi.
