Chapter 391: This Is It
Isn’t this treating them like fools? How could such a ridiculous thing be taken seriously?! Flying cars, smartphones, chips, chess… The miracle creator of all this is Lu Ming.?A strong thought couldn’t help but appear in his mind.?What else couldn’t my godson do?
After an unknown period of time, he finally came back to his senses when his legs were numb from standing on the spot. He stared blankly at the setting sun’s halo shining in the courtyard, as if it had draped a layer of gorgeous gauze over them. A brisk gray bird slid through the air and finally stopped on the tree to rest for a while. It was beautiful.
For a moment, he was in a daze. Even the young man and the old man’s energetic appearance felt a little unfamiliar to him.
When I was playing with the old leader, the other party had never been so happy, right??The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. It seemed that his goal had finally been achieved. The more his good friend liked his godson, the more relieved he was. Wasn’t the reason why he was so worried about Lu Ming a few days ago because he was afraid that the other party would suffer outside and have nowhere to complain to?
With the old leader around, no matter what Lu Ming wanted to do in the capital, it would be much smoother!
“I won again!”
The young man with outstanding looks said with a smile. The old man sitting opposite him was not annoyed or depressed. Instead, he clapped his hands and laughed. “It’s a great blessing to be able to play chess with you. It’s great that Old Tang brought you to me! I can’t imagine how my life will be without you playing chess with me!”
“Let’s have one last game, shall we?”
When Lu Ming heard this, his eyes immediately became lifeless. Although he liked to play chess, he couldn’t stand playing so many games in a row. If he continued, he felt like he was going to vomit! Moreover, how many times had he said it was going to be the last game today? His ears were about to get calluses!
What last game? It was probably the last hundred millionth game. If he didn’t find an excuse to refuse, there would be no end to it! He didn’t want to rest here tonight. His wife was still waiting for him to go back! When he thought of Chu Jinyu’s coquettishness and reminders before he left, his heart itched.
It felt good to be missed.
So he pointed at the sun and said, “The day is almost over. I think we should stop here. It’s not like we won’t have a chance to play again in the future.”
The old leader could not help but feel a little disappointed. He looked at the chessboard lovingly, but his mind still did not stop spinning. Although he had been tortured for almost a few hours, this long-lost excitement made him unable to stop. He thought that he would not experience this feeling after retreating from the battlefield. He did not expect to be stimulated by a junior now!
He was unwilling to let him go so easily! Coincidentally, he met his good friend’s gaze. Looking at Tang Mingkun’s boastful gaze, he could not help feeling envious. If only Lu Ming was his son, he could play chess with him every day. When they were free, they could even talk about they insights and skills in chess.
He suddenly felt that it was too boring for him to stay in this courtyard. Then he seemed to have thought of something and quickly said, “Auntie should have finished cooking at this time. Why don’t you eat dinner at my place first? Little Ming, don’t you like her food very much? Why don’t you stay for a while longer? How about it?”
From the corner of his eye, Lu Ming saw a certain figure walking over unsteadily. He immediately suppressed his hesitation and the urge to refuse the invitation to dinner. He almost forgot about this! Should he be glad that he was not too late to accept? He took out his discerning glasses from his pocket and looked at the captain of the garrison. When he saw those words, he could not help but raise his eyebrows.
It seemed like he was destined to stay for dinner today.
The old leader looked at his series of actions and wondered, “Is it because you’ve been looking at the chessboard for too long that your eyes are a little tired? It’s all my fault. If I didn’t want you to play a few more games with me, you wouldn’t be so tired. It’s my fault this time. I hope you don’t mind.”
Seeing the genuine self-reproach on his face, Lu Ming knew that his actions had caused the other party to misunderstand. He smiled and said, “What are you talking about? Actually, it’s not too serious. I’m just a little curious. Why did that garrison captain only come now?”
Logically speaking, that person was always protecting the old leader’s safety. It was normal for him to not take a step away. Now that he had actually left his original position, he felt that it was a little strange no matter how he looked at it. Since he couldn’t think of the reason, he might as well ask. In any case, the old leader definitely knew the truth!
As expected, the old leader seemed to have known about it and explained, “He took leave yesterday until tonight. He said that his relative came to the capital to see him. He happened to be a tour guide. I also thought that it had been a long time since he had a break, so I agreed to this matter. Is there a problem?”
“Hahahaha, no. I was just asking.”
Lu Ming put away his glasses and looked down. He couldn’t say that he had doubts about the captain’s nature since the last time he saw him. Coupled with the comments he had just seen, he was even more certain of his thoughts. But if he directly told the truth, who would believe him?
He had not forgotten that the captain of the garrison had personally admitted that he had followed his old leader for more than 10 years. He was just a godson adopted by his adoptive father. What reason did the other party have to not trust the old man beside him and choose him instead? After all, even geniuses could make mistakes, right?
I’d rather take my time.
Tang Mingkun narrowed his eyes and looked at his godson, who seemed to be lost in his thoughts. He could roughly guess what Lu Ming was thinking. This time, he would treat it as homework for Little Ming. If he depended on his help in everything, then who would be able to protect Little Ming personally when he was no longer alive? As the saying went, it was better to rely on oneself than on others. Only one’s fist was the strongest.
As for the old leader, he did not think too much about it. He simply thought that Lu Ming had used his brain too much and was a little tired.
After dinner, Lu Ming hesitated for a moment and said to the old man, “I have something to talk to you about. I wonder if it’s convenient for you to bring me to a quiet place to talk. This is not a simple matter. I only found out about it recently through my subordinates. It concerns the lives of many people. If it’s not handled well, other countries might have the goods on us!”
Afraid that the old leader would reject him, he even took out his final trump card. He firmly believed that as an old leader, he would definitely not ignore this matter! He could not bear to see so many people lose their lives! The reason why he asked for a change of location was because he was afraid that the captain of the guards would find out about the other thing he was plotting. If Fang Tiancheng was driven to desperation, the situation would definitely be disadvantageous to him!
