Chapter 559

Eighty years ago, in Shanghai, around the time of the Battle of Songhu, the Chinese army fought with the Japanese army here for three months. The Chinese army suffered more than 300,000 casualties. Shanghai was not big to begin with. In that battle, it was not an exaggeration to say that every piece of land under their feet was dyed red with blood. Every inch of the mountains and rivers was an inch of blood. The Chinese army fought very bravely and tenaciously.

The man pulled down his down jacket and let the cold wind enter his body. He raised his head slightly and closed his eyes. In a trance, he suddenly returned to the time when he was stationed here with the army 80 years ago.

The faces of his comrades, the voices and appearances, and the voices with clear accents, it was as if they were really by his ears, as if they were right in front of his eyes, as if they were really yesterday.

So..,

Sometimes, the longer one lived, the not a happy thing,

When you get old, your thinking will fall into confusion and sluggishness. You can forget things that you should forget, and you can let go of things that you should let go. Whether it was regret or glory, you could always let go of it or take it lightly. But he, could not.

"There are some things that you don't have to continue thinking about." Ying Yinger comforted him. She knew some of her father's experiences. She also knew that her father had joined the army, but later on, the situation changed and the political situation became unstable. Her father chose to go with the flow, peacefully hiding himself and living the life of an ordinary person.

"I can't forget it." The man smiled with some emotion and then asked, "Your friend is coming soon, right?"

Ying Yinger slightly tidied up her hair that had been messed up by the cold wind and nodded. "It should be soon. You should also leave father. I've told you about that person. He's not an ordinary person. He even makes me feel afraid."

The man's hand gripped the iron railing. He looked at his daughter, who looked about the same age as him, and said, "You also said that he's not an ordinary person. You met him yesterday, but you didn't even have the urge to reminisce about the past and drink tea. Why did he come to find you in such a hurry today?

If I leave, what he wants to do is to find out my whereabouts from your mouth. Wouldn't this be harming you? "

"He doesn't look like that kind of person." Ying Yinger's eyes revealed a thoughtful look. "He shouldn't be that bad either."

The man shook his head and sighed. "I'd rather believe that there are ghosts in this world than believe a man's broken mouth."

"Hehe, what about my mother?"

"Your mother?" The man's mouth revealed a smile. "She was also tricked by me."

"Seriously, Father, you should leave, or I'll go with you," Ying Yinger said very seriously. "I really don't want my father's secret to be exposed."

"No need." The man seemed to have made up his mind and remained unmoved. He turned around and sat down on the chair. He picked up the coffee and found that it was already cold, so he put it down. "Since you were young, because of me, you often changed schools. I can't always stay by your side to accompany you. I owe you a lot. Now you have your own career and your own life in Shanghai. I can't drag you down anymore because of me. Ying 'er, you only have one life. You should cherish it, and so should I. "

Ying Yinger also sat down in front of the man. She seemed to have figured something out and said, "Father, you wanted to see him on purpose, didn't you?"

Once, because of Frankenstein, Ying Yinger had also been implicated. She had also seen the means of Black Listener, and Su Bai was obviously the same kind of person as Black Listener. This also showed that his identity was not simple, but Ying Yinger did not dare to ask in detail or investigate. She just pretended that this had never happened. Of course, she told her father about these things when she contacted him.

Previously, because of Frankenstein, Ying Yinger was also implicated. She also saw the means of the Black Listener. Su Bai was obviously the same kind of person as the Black Listener, so it also showed that Su Bai's identity was not simple. However, Ying Yinger did not dare to ask in detail, nor did she dare to investigate. She just pretended that this matter did not happen. Of course, she told these things to her father when she contacted him. "Maybe." The man showed a dignified look and coughed a few times. "I have a bit of a cold. You should also pay attention. These days the temperature difference is relatively large."

Ying Yinger nodded her head noncommittally. She understood that her father didn't want to involve her too much in his matters. After all, she was different from her father. Her father's lifespan hadn't reached its end yet, but she was destined to grow old, fall sick, and die.

"Is it him?"

The man pointed at Su Bai, who was walking across the road.

Ying Yinger looked over and said, "It's him." Immediately afterward, Ying Yinger looked at her father with a worried expression. Su Bai had come so quickly, and it could be seen that he could not wait any longer.

Su Bai only wore a coat. After he found Ying Yinger's table and sat down, he took off his coat and hung it on the chair, leaving only a thin long-sleeved shirt. With Su Bai's current physique, ordinary heat and cold had no effect on him. The reason why he wore a coat was to make himself less conspicuous.

"Introduce me." Su Bai said to Ying Yinger.

Ying Yinger looked at her father. She didn't know how to introduce him.

"I'm a relative of hers. Hello." The man stretched out his hand and shook hands with Su Bai.

After shaking hands, Su Bai asked for a latte from the waiter. Then, he let out a long sigh and said, "I have a bad habit. When it comes to good things and benefits, I like to use unscrupulous means. So, I think it's better for us to be honest. Oh, right, I haven't asked for your name, mister."

"My surname is Lin, and my given name is Zhou."

"Mister Lin." Su Bai's face revealed a look of understanding. Then, he asked, "Ying Yinger should have already told you my name, right? Then, may I ask how old Mister Lin is this year?"

Su Bai really went straight to the point. He wasn't facing an NPC in a story, so why did he need to beat around the bush? He, Young Master Su, didn't have that much energy and free time to slowly play Tai Chi here, right? In the real world, Young Master Su was low-key, but if he really wanted to be high-profile, as long as he didn't do those heartless things, there really weren't many people who could control him.

"I was born in the first year of the Republic of China, which is also the lunar year of the ninth son." Lin Zhou revealed his age without hesitation or concealment.

"That's 1912?" Su Bai counted with his fingers. "That's pretty good, brother. You're already over a hundred years old, but your maintenance skills are really not bad."

"Ahem …" Ying Yinger deliberately coughed a few times. She hoped that Su Bai could maintain the most basic respect. After all, this person was her father. She didn't really like her father being treated like a monster.

"Hehe, it's fine if you're old but don't die." Lin Zhou didn't mind Su Bai's tone at all. Instead, he mocked himself.

"Since Mister is so frank, I won't beat around the bush." Su Bai thought that if Lin Zhou didn't admit it, he would have to spend more effort, but now that Lin Zhou was so frank, it made some of Su Bai's original plans fall through. Of course, the less things, the better.

"I'm very interested in the secret of Mister's eternal youth." Su Bai pointed to Lin Zhou and then pointed to himself. "This is something that no one can resist."

Lin Zhou nodded. "Indeed, no one can resist this kind of attraction. However, I don't think Mister Su needs my secret. I'm not talented, but I've learned some traditional Chinese medicine. Looking at Mister Su's qi and blood, it's really rare. Normally, even if Mister Su reaches my age, he won't be much older than me."

Su Bai's eyes narrowed. To be honest, Su Bai certainly didn't care about the secret of immortality. His life and death completely depended on the next story world. If he couldn't guarantee it for a while, then there was no point in plotting for a lifetime. Moreover, judging from Su Bai's current immortal state and the famous long life span of the vampires, it wouldn't be a problem for Su Bai to live for one or two hundred years easily.

"Hehe, I'm curious about the thing that can make Mister Lin stay young forever."

"Mister Su, are you going to get the answer you want?" Lin Zhou looked at his daughter without batting an eyelid. His meaning was very simple. You just said that he wasn't a man without morals. Looking at his attitude, he really wouldn't give up until he achieved his goal. Fortunately, Lin Zhou didn't intend to hide it.

Su Bai smiled and didn't answer.

"To be honest, Mister Su, I can sit here and wait for you to come because I'm ready to tell you about this matter, because it's really time to say it." A touch of sadness appeared on Lin Zhou's face. If a person kept a secret in his heart, it was actually a very tiring thing. At the same time, if he lived for a long time and watched the people around him die of old age again and again, while he lived alone, it was also a very cruel thing.

A life of a hundred years was actually not too outrageous. There were many people who were over a hundred years old in this world, but Lin Zhou had lived for a hundred years as a young man. His experience was much richer than those who were over a hundred years old, because he had unlimited energy and unlimited youth. Naturally, he could do more and more things.

"You've been discovered by me. Even if you want to run, you can't run away." Su Bai told the truth.

"Yes, that's also true. But I've kept this secret for many years, and it's time to say it."

"Huh? Why is that? " Su Bai didn't ask if Lin Zhou and Ying Yinger mind. He lit a cigarette and said, "I'm very curious. What prompted Mister Lin to make such a big change?"

"Because a big shot who has been very interested in me and has been looking for me for almost half a century finally left a few days ago. He and I used to be classmates in Huangpu. After the founding of the People's Republic, he came to inspect the place and was found by him once. Then he has been chasing me and has been looking for and investigating me, and I have been hiding.

Until a few days ago, he finally left. He died of old age. "
