There was a knock on the door, and a man in a military uniform came in. He was in his fifties, tall, thin, and upright, with thick eyebrows and fierce eyes. Although there was wind and frost in his eyes, and his sideburns were slightly white, he did not look old or dispirited. Instead, he looked more mature and wise.
When Gu Dalong saw who it was, he quickly stood at attention and gave a formal military salute. "Hello, Commander."
Commander!
Yun Jingting heard the commotion and immediately turned his gaze. His voice was low and distant. "Dad, why are you here?"
Dad!
Not bad!
Yun Mocheng was not only Yun Jingting's father, but he was also the highest commander of the Third Military Region.
He nodded faintly at Gu Dalong. "You go first. I want to talk to your commander alone."
"Yes!"
There was a knock on the door, and only the father and son were left in the room. Yun Mocheng walked slowly to the bedside, his gaze fixed on his son's face. "Tiger, how are your injuries?"
"Yes, I'm fine." Yun Jingting was a little embarrassed. He did not have the enthusiasm of a father and son who had not seen each other for a long time. His legs were inconvenient, and he could not get off the bed, so he could only sit up. "I won't die for a while."
Yun Mocheng frowned awkwardly. "Why are you still treating me like this? It's been so many years, and you still can't let it go!"
Yun Jingting lowered his head silently and did not reply.
The room was silent.
Yun Mocheng took out a pack of cigarettes and lit one. He sat on the chair beside the bed and took a few deep breaths. His empty hand rubbed the leg of his trousers a few times, and his gaze lowered to his shoes. The father and son did not look at each other, and tried their best to avoid each other's eyes.
They were a little embarrassed.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and then a woman in a police uniform rushed in. She looked to be in her thirties. She was tall, had beautiful eyes, and her facial features were somewhat similar to Yun Jingting's. They were both angular and deep, and so beautiful that they were unforgettable. The only difference was that her curved eyebrows made her look more feminine.
The moment she entered, she glanced around the room and immediately stopped in her tracks. She respectfully greeted Yun Mocheng. "Dad, you're here too!"
The person who came was Yun Jingting's second sister, Yun Jingqi. The siblings had always been close. She was two years older than her brother and worked in the archives department of the provincial capital's Public Security Bureau. Of course, she had many suitors, but for some reason, she was still single.
"Why are you here?" When Commander Yun spoke to her daughter, she was much more casual. "There's not much work at the station …"
"No matter how busy I am, I still have to come." Yun Jingqi walked quickly to her younger brother's side. "Tiger, look at you. You're not fighting now. How did you get injured?"
Yun Jingting laughed. "Why don't we go to war? Soldiers won't get hurt. Sis, don't worry, I just got a few scratches. There's no need to mobilize so many people to disturb the whole family!"
There seemed to be something wrong with what he said!
However, Yun Jingqi did not mind. She patted her younger brother's shoulder affectionately. "What do you mean by just a few scratches? Didn't you get five stitches? Don't let your guard down. I asked around briefly. You saved your life this time. Guns and cannons don't have eyes!"
She was a straightforward person, and she did not beat around the bush when she spoke. "Also, I don't like to hear what you're saying. Why are you mobilizing so many people? You're the only male in our Yun family, my only younger brother. If something happens to you, shouldn't we be concerned?"
She glanced at Yun Mocheng intentionally or unintentionally. "Dad, I'm right, right? You must be feeling the same as me. Otherwise, you wouldn't have rushed over from the provincial capital immediately!"
Judging from her expression, she knew that there was hostility between father and son and wanted to smooth things over.
Yun Mocheng was stubborn. "I happen to have some work in the county. When I heard about this, I came to take a look!"
Just nice!
How could it be so coincidental?
The commander of the military region would come to the county to preside over work when he had nothing to do!
Wasn't this a fantasy story?
Yun Jingqi did not expose him. She sighed softly. "When did our family become so distant? We're even less polite than outsiders!"
The room was silent. The three of them did not speak.
After a while, Yun Mocheng broke the silence.
He stubbed out the cigarette butt in his hand and asked casually, "Tiger, I heard that you're getting married. The report has been submitted to the organization!"
Getting married?
This was big news!
Yun Jingqi widened her eyes curiously. "What do you mean it's true? Which family is she from? I know her, right?"
"Which family is she from?" Yun Mocheng's tone did not reveal any emotions. He turned to his daughter indifferently. "You'll be shocked if I tell you. She's the granddaughter of the biggest landlord in Qi County, Tang Daishan. Also, that girl is only 18 this year. She's the little girl from Tiger's base!"
Although he did not say it explicitly, his tone …
Yun Laohu's eyebrows raised imperceptibly. The scar between his eyebrows moved slightly. His expression was like that of a fierce tiger that had been awakened from a deep slumber. His entire body was filled with provocation and indignation. It made people shudder at the sight of him.
He pursed his lips and seemed to be giving tit for tat. "Dad, you've heard so much about it!"
His tone raised by half a degree. "From what you said just now, I seem to understand a little. You're accusing me of dating the people in the base. Hehe, you can't accuse me of this. I'm a regimental cadre. In principle, I can organize a family on the base. This is not against the rules of the army. Besides, Mi Xaing 'er is already an adult. She can marry freely. No matter who it is, they can't use these irrelevant excuses to suppress me!"
He raised his head and met his father's gaze. He raised his firm chin. "Since we're already on this topic, then it's just right. I want to ask now. Do you agree to my marriage or not? Give me a straightforward answer!"
----- Digression —
Speaking of which, there were many stories in the Yun family. There must be a reason for Tiger's attitude towards her father.
