Jiang Cheng walked to the door of the room, gave a standard military salute, and said loudly, "Sir."
General Ning did not ask Jiang Cheng to sit down like before. Instead, he got up and walked to Jiang Cheng. He asked in a deep voice, "Jiang Cheng, if you were asked to return to Wolf's Teeth again, would you still be willing?"
Jiang Cheng was stunned and said, "Sir, I … I don't want to."
General Ning was very surprised by this answer, because according to his understanding of Jiang Cheng, if there was a chance to return to the military camp, he would definitely agree. However, he refused such a good opportunity now.
General Ning asked in confusion, "Why?"
Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and replied, "Sir, I'm tired of being a soldier. Now I just want to stay at home with my parents, wife, and children. I don't want to take risks anymore. I'm afraid that my parents won't be able to accept it if I have an accident one day."
General Ning nodded and said, "Well, I won't force you if you don't want to join the army again. I wish you a smooth journey in the future. If you encounter any difficulties, call me. You know my private number."
Jiang Cheng thanked General Ning for his kindness and walked out of the yard with the National Protection Medal. At the door, the soldiers at the gate saluted him when they saw him. Jiang Cheng also gave a standard military salute and then got into a Mercedes-Benz bulletproof car outside.
In fact, when General Ning asked Jiang Cheng to return to Wolf's Teeth, Jiang Cheng was tempted. It was not that he didn't want to fight side by side with the brothers who had been with him for five years, but when he thought of returning to his hometown after being discharged from the army and seeing his elderly parents and Li Shiya, who had always loved him, his heart began to waver. He knew that he could not be a soldier for a lifetime, because he knew that he would never become a general. He was not made for it. The best ending in the future was at most to be discharged from the army and transferred to a local place. He didn't know what would happen at that time.
Now that he had a stable job, a bar that he had shares in, and a group of loyal brothers, Jiang Cheng knew what he wanted. He just wanted his parents to be able to live out their remaining years in peace. He wanted to marry a wife and then have a few chubby boys to fulfill his parents' long-cherished wish, because that was the right path.
Jiang Cheng turned down General Ning's invitation and boarded a plane to the provincial capital. Then he bought a train ticket from the provincial capital and went home. When he arrived at his home, it was already past seven o 'clock in the evening.
Jiang Cheng pushed open the door of the yard and found that there was no one at home. The fire in the kitchen stove had already been put out and the stove was cold. It seemed that there had been no fire to cook at home for two days.
Jiang Cheng hurriedly ran to the neighbor's house to ask about the situation. When Uncle Zhou next door saw that Jiang Cheng had come home, his face was full of surprise and he didn't say a word for a long time. In the end, it was his grandson who answered Jiang Cheng's question.
"Uncle Jiang, Grandpa Jiang and Grandma Hu were beaten. They are now in the hospital."
Jiang Cheng grabbed him and asked which hospital they were in and why they were beaten. Little Zhou only said that they were in the Municipal People's Hospital. He didn't know why they were beaten.
Jiang Cheng couldn't wait to go out and took a taxi to the Municipal People's Hospital. On the way, he clenched his fists tightly. He thought that he had only been on a mission for a little more than a week, and such a big thing had happened at home. His parents were actually beaten up and hospitalized. If this happened when Jiang Cheng was at home, Jiang Cheng would definitely beat the person who beat his parents to death on the spot.
Along the way, Jiang Cheng kept urging his brother to hurry up. In the end, it took them more than 20 minutes to reach the hospital. Jiang Cheng threw a 100 yuan bill to his brother and told him to keep the change. Then, he rushed into the hospital like a gust of wind.
Jiang Cheng ran to the front desk of the emergency department and asked for the whereabouts of his parents. The nurse at the front desk still remembered that this handsome guy in front of her was the one who beat dozens of people in the hospital last time. She immediately stuck to him and asked for his phone number, QQ number, and WeChat number. Jiang Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He explained to the nurse for a long time.
When the nurse heard that the handsome guy's parents were in the hospital, she quickly picked up the file and began to check. Finally, she told Jiang Cheng that they were in room 205, Bed 18 and 19. Hearing that, Jiang Cheng directly turned around and ran upstairs. The receptionist was so angry that she pouted and scolded, "Humph, you have no conscience. You didn't even say thank you. You didn't even tell me your phone number or WeChat number. Humph, I'll draw a circle to curse you."
Jiang Cheng didn't know that he had just been cursed by a beautiful girl. At this moment, he only wanted to see his parents. He ran to the door of room 205. When he was about to open the door, he heard a man's rough voice coming from inside.
"Humph, surnamed Jiang, you are too unscrupulous. Your son said that he would marry my niece. He also agreed to the gift of two million yuan. But you took the money and didn't give it to us. What the hell is this? You obviously agreed to it. You won't go back on your word, will you?"
After hearing this, Jiang Cheng was stunned. He didn't even open the door to see what the man was talking about.
As soon as the rough man's voice fell, Jiang Cheng heard his father's words.
"Chen Jianhao, it's true that my son wants to marry your niece, but you can't do this. You beat us up like this for the two million yuan gift, and you said that the Jiang family will go back on their word. Is there such a thing in the world? I also told you that the Jiang family has decided not to marry. Your niece can marry whoever wants to. My son is so outstanding. Do you think he can't find a wife? Don't even think about that money. It's impossible for me to give it to you. "
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he understood. It turned out that this man was Shiya's uncle. He didn't expect that he would beat his parents for the two million yuan gift. Jiang Cheng was furious when he heard this. But in order to understand what had happened, he held back his anger and continued to listen.
It turned out that the man inside was called Chen Jianhao. He was Chen Zhaodi's younger brother. Last time, his sister came to his house and said that the son of the Jiang family had taken a fancy to her daughter. She came to propose marriage with two million yuan. But later, there was an accident. Jiang Cheng was rescued by a helicopter, and the bank card containing the two million yuan gift was sent back by his silly daughter.
Chen Jianhao was originally a gangster in the city. He followed Zhang Qiang from Linjiang Street. But some time ago, Brother Qiang seemed to have run away, so Chen Jianhao didn't have any business. Every day, he followed others to collect protection fees. Recently, he just happened to be short of money. He didn't expect that such a huge sum of money would suddenly appear. When Chen Jianhao heard that there was two million yuan, his eyes lit up.
Two million yuan! Two million yuan! He couldn't earn so much money even if he was a gangster for a lifetime. The son of the Jiang family, who came back less than half a month ago, could take out so much money. Moreover, it was only a gift, not a house or a car.
This time, Chen Jianhao began to think about it. The two million yuan was originally a gift for his sister, but Jiang Cheng had left. It was unknown whether he would come back or not. If he didn't come back, then the two million yuan would go down the drain.
Chen Jianhao couldn't sit still no matter how he thought about it. He took a few gangsters to Shiguan Village and found Old Jiang's family. He asked the Jiang family to take out the two million yuan as the wedding gift first. He also said that it wouldn't be too late to hold the wedding ceremony after Jiang Cheng came back. He had to take out the gift first.
Jiang Zhiguo knew Chen Jianhao's character. When he heard that Chen Jianhao was asking for money, he would definitely not give it. He flatly refused Chen Jianhao's rude request, saying that the gift could only be given when his son came back.
This time, Chen Jianhao refused. He came here for money, otherwise he would not bother to meddle in his sister's business. As soon as he heard that Old Jiang was not willing to give him money, he directly said that the Jiang family was not particular. "Your son slept with my niece and took her virginity. Now you're trying to deny it. No way." Chen Jianhao was not willing to give him money.
Jiang Zhiguo was not afraid. No matter what Chen Jianhao said, he wouldn't give the money. He said that he could ask for the gift, but he would wait until his son came back. Both sides couldn't reach an agreement. This time, Chen Jianhao's temper rose. He directly went up and beat Jiang Cheng's parents.
How could the old people afford to be beaten by the young people? Jiang Zhiguo and his wife almost vomited blood. Fortunately, their neighbor Uncle Zhou stopped them in time and called 120 to send them to the hospital. Only then did they survive.
