Chapter 1177 – What on earth are you people?

　　The vehicle drove into the road out of the city, smoothly approaching the suburbs.

　　Suddenly, a silhouette rushed out from the side of the road, stopping before the vehicle’s path!

　　Jab-la-!

　　The lengthened version of the Lincoln quickly braked, the inertia caused the people inside the vehicle to sway, and at the same time raised their heads to look out of the window, and the moment they saw the silhouette clearly, everyone was stunned.

　　It was a sweaty old man, his back was a little bent, his wrinkled face looking at the vehicle in front of him, his eyes full of determination.

　　”Dean Liu?” Baili Chubby spoke in surprise, “Why is he here?”

　　”By the looks of it, he’s here to chase after Wu Quan.”

　　An Qingyu glanced back, only to see that Wu Quan was also frozen inside the car, staring blankly at the figure in front of the car.

　　”But how does he know where we’re going?”

　　”The road out of the city in Linjiang is the only one, he should have come here in advance and waited.” Secretary Jin explained at the right time.

　　In front of the car, Old Man Liu stepped forward with open feet, his eyes saw Wu Quan, Li Xiaoyan and Qian Cheng sitting at the very back through the front windshield, and that vicissitude of his face surfaced with an expression that was surely so.

　　”You guys …… hid me so bitterly.” Old man Liu smiled bitterly.

　　In the sky, the dark clouds that were about to dissipate piled up once again.

　　Lin Qiye looked at the figure in front of the car, remained silent for a moment, and turned back to look at Wu Quan whose lips were slightly pursed:

　　”It seems that this time it can’t be avoided ……”

　　Wu Quan took a deep breath, “I’ll get out of the car.”

　　He pushed open the car door, his footsteps stepped on the road, Li Xiaoyan and Qian Cheng also followed closely behind, his originally stiff and dull face, suddenly animated, his eyes flickered with a divine light.

　　”Grandpa Liu!” Li Xiaoyan shouted, quickly rushing forward and jumping into Old Man Liu’s arms.

　　She looked up at Old Man Liu, on her flushed face, those eyes were a bit evasive, “Grandpa Liu …… why are you here?”

　　Old man Liu said with a stern face, “Hmph, if I don’t come, who knows what you guys are going to do?”

　　Old man Liu looked gloomy, but the anger and unwillingness that was originally saved in his heart, in the moment Li Xiaoyan jumped into his arms, it dissipated nearly half of it.

　　One is because of the subconscious softness towards the children, and the other is that this action of Li Xiaoyan sends a signal to him.

　　You see, the children still care about me!

　　Old man Liu hugged Li Xiaoyan, his eyes looked towards Wu Quan and Qian Cheng, “You two, don’t you have anything to say?”

　　Wu Quan was silent for a moment, “I am sorry, Grandpa Liu …… we must go.”

　　”Go? Walk where? Don’t tell me that you three little dolls whose hairs haven’t even grown, are going to join the army just like Shen kid?”

　　Wu Quan was dumbfounded.

　　The excuse of joining the army was probably not going to work, but he couldn’t tell the other party that he was going to be imprisoned for murder, could he?

　　Just as Wu Quan was torn and troubled, the car door opened again and Lin Qiye stepped out of the car and said gently:

　　”Dean Liu, these three children do have some things to do, but specifically, it involves state secrets, so I can’t say it yet.”

　　”State secrets …… hum.”

　　Old man Liu looked at Lin Qiye, his gaze getting more and more complicated.

　　”After that inexplicable fire back then, Shen kid has been secretive, and then he said he was going to join the army, which was also suspicious.

　　Several of you came to visit also, I was surrounded by that group of gangsters, the next day they were missing arms and legs door to door to beg for forgiveness, Li’s group to force us to move, the day is not yet bright, they were wiped out the whole family.

　　Shen kid went to your place and didn t come back for four years, and now you are coming to take these kids …… away.

　　You guys are asking for my old life ah?!”

　　Old man Liu became more and more agitated as he spoke, he raised his hands shakily and slapped heavily on the front of the Lincoln.

　　Bang – bang -!

　　His face was filled with confusion and pain!

　　He stared at Lin Qiye, opened his dry, cracked lips, and spoke hoarsely:

　　”You guys tell me …… what exactly are you guys?!”

　　Old man Liu’s voice echoed in the air, and the people inside the car, as well as Lin Qiye and the others outside the car, simultaneously fell into silence.

　　Only after a long time did Lin Qiye slowly open his mouth, and

　　”Elder Liu, our identities are state secrets, no comment ……

　　But we are by no means bad guys, we are indeed soldiers as well, only that we are protecting this country in another way that ordinary people cannot understand.

　　Shen Qingzhu is also one of us, those feats I said about him, all of them are true, and he did far more than I described.

　　Perhaps, when the war is over and our existence can be publicized to the world, you will naturally understand.”

　　Old man Liu’s brows were tightly locked as he extended his hand, pointing at Li Xiaoyan in his arms, as well as Wu Quan and Qian Cheng in the distance:

　　”What about them? They’re just a bunch of fourteen or fifteen year olds, and they’re going to do those things as well? This is too dangerous! I don’t agree!”

　　”Their situation is rather special, they don’t need to do the same things as us or be born to die, and the place they’re going to, it’s very safe.” Lin Qiye said seriously.

　　Upon hearing these words, Old Man Liu’s expression relaxed a bit.

　　He swept his gaze over the three Wuquan people in turn and spoke with a complicated expression:

　　”Shall we talk to them alone?”

　　Lin Qiye glanced at Wu Quan, “Of course.”

　　Old man Liu led Wu Quan and the three of them, walking to the side of the road, talking about something with a serious expression as Wu Quan turned his head from time to time to look at Lin Qiye and the others.

　　Cao Yuan rolled down the window and lowered his voice to ask:

　　”Seven Nights, that kid won’t take the opportunity of Dean Liu to refuse to go to the fasting center with us, right?”

　　If it was before seeing the memory of the fire four years ago, Lin Qiye really couldn’t come up with an answer, but after reading that memory, Lin Qiye had some new knowledge about Wu Quan’s character.

　　This child had grown up following Shen Qingzhu, and would never be able to do anything to betray his trust, and he would not use other means to escape after promising that he would not make any extra trouble on this journey.

　　”No.” He shook his head.

　　As expected by Lin Qiye, soon Wuquan and the three of them walked back to the car, and Old Man Liu slowly walked up, his entire person looked like he had aged several years as he helplessly spoke:

　　”Since they are determined to go with you guys, then let them …… please make sure you take care of them, please.”

　　Old man Liu hunched over and bowed deeply to Lin Qiye.

　　Lin Qiye held him up and persuaded him to leave after a while.

　　Lin Qiye looked at Old Man Liu’s forlorn back as he left, his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

　　These children, although none of them were born to old man Liu, but in his heart, they were indeed more intimate than his own children, seeing one child after another leave him, to say that his heart wasn’t hard to bear, it was impossible.

　　But even more rare is that he can respect every child’s choice.

　　Wu Quan watched Old Man Liu leave, calmly turned around, took the initiative to open the car door and sat in.

　　”Let’s go.”

　　Lin Qiye nodded, and the vehicle started up again, speeding towards the military airport on the outskirts.
