Chapter 348: It’s human nature to take precautions
"General Lu? This... what is going on?" Jin Junli was completely confused when he saw Lu Shan for the first time.
It was not until he got off the car that he realized that he had not arrived at Military Advisor Park's residence, but where Zhang Ye lived.
What exactly is going on?
At this moment, Jin Junli looked at the smiling Lu Shan, and then glanced at Secretary Yin who was standing nearby. He had no idea what these two people were up to.
"Let's go, the Marshal is waiting for you." Lu Shan patted his shoulder to wake him up from his confusion. Then, he saw him approach Secretary Yin and whisper something.
After a while, the two smiled at each other and seemed to be having a very happy chat.
"No, when did you two meet?" Even after Secretary Yin drove away, Jin Junli still couldn't accept the fact that had happened.
You know, Secretary Yin has been following Military Advisor Park for more than a year or two, and a close superior-subordinate relationship has long been formed between the two. How on earth did the Independence Army manage to reach such a high level?
"Everyone has desires and weaknesses." Lu Shan looked at his horrified expression, smiled faintly, and said with great pride: "Secretary Yin doesn't want to continue living in this desolate place. I have given him the right to reside in District 7, and also a fortune that is enough for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life."
"If it were you, I'm afraid you would make the same choice."
"Tsk...amazing! Your intelligence and espionage system is truly terrifyingly powerful." Jin Junli sighed with a wry smile, "Do we have any of your people here, too?"
"Who knows? I don't care about intelligence." Lu Shan said casually, skipping the topic.
More than ten minutes later, the two of them arrived at the villa study, one after the other.
At this moment, Zhang Ye, who was finishing his meal, saw them and waved enthusiastically: "Ali, come and eat. You must be hungry after being locked up for most of the day."
"Thank you, Marshal." Looking at the gentle smile on Zhang Ye's face, Jin Junli felt extremely restrained. He stood awkwardly in front of the table and didn't dare to sit down for a long time.
He felt that Zhang Ye must have known what happened in the command center, including his plan to capture him and exchange him for the old man, and he couldn't hide it.
Now, he has taken himself out of the cage, most likely to ask for punishment.
In this situation, let alone eating, even if he was given a mountain of gold and silver, Jin Junli would not be happy.
However, he also knew that a gentleman should dare to act and take responsibility. Since he had said that, even if he did not implement it, as long as Zhang Ye held him accountable, he would accept it.
"Sit down, why are you standing there?" Lu Shan came over with two sets of bowls and chopsticks, gave him one, and then sat down and started eating.
The Marshal's dinner was relatively light. He had eaten too much meat recently, so he also tried some to scrape off the fat.
"Marshal, I..." Jin Junli, who had just sat down, looked embarrassed and stammered. He wanted to admit his mistake, but he couldn't say what he did wrong.
He didn't think he was wrong. If a person didn't even care about his own biological father, what was the difference between him and an animal?
"Don't say anything, I understand." Zhang Ye gave him a gentle look and casually put some vegetables in his bowl: "Eat, we can talk after dinner if you have anything to say."
"Thank you, thank you, Marshal." Jin Junli nodded slightly, picked up the bowl of rice and took two big bites.
However, at the moment, he was in no mood to savor the food. No matter how good the food was, it would taste like chewing wax in his mouth and would have no flavor at all.
Half an hour later, dinner was over and the servants took away the leftovers and brought a few cups of hot tea.
Zhang Ye sat on the sofa in the living room, took a sip of warm tea, rubbed his stomach and joked, "I don't know what's wrong with me lately. I always feel full after just two bites. My appetite is not as big as before."
"Shanzi, bring up the snacks we brought and let Ali have a try."
"Yes, Marshal!" Lu Shan nodded to the attendant beside him, and the people in the room hurriedly retreated.
As the others left, Lu Shan personally returned with two plates of pastries. He placed them in front of Jin Junli and said jokingly, "I brought these from Shanghai. I was planning to treat your father to a feast, but now it seems like you, the son, deserve more."
"Hey, what are you talking about!" Zhang Ye glared at him, then put down his teacup. Looking at the slightly dazed Jin Junli, he consoled him, "Ali, I know what you're thinking. Don't worry. I'm not a petty person. The Sakura Nation is trying to bring down our alliance with this plan. If I don't understand this, I've been living in vain."
At this point, Zhang Ye's lips curled up slightly, and the tone suddenly changed: "Besides, as a son, it's only natural for you to want to save your father. If you don't, I will look down on you."
"Marshal!" Upon hearing this, Jin Junli raised his head, his eyes suddenly reddened, his lips trembled, and he sobbed softly, "Thank you for your understanding, Marshal. I have no choice, I really have no choice..."
"He is my father after all..."
"Okay, it's no big deal, why are you crying?" Zhang Ye said with a stern face, unwilling to see the old man crying. He warned him seriously, "If there is a problem, solve it. Be a man, why are you crying?"
"Yes, Marshal, I lost my composure!" Jin Junli quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and his tense nerves relaxed a little at this moment.
No matter what the result is, at least Zhang Ye is not held accountable, which is a good sign.
"I've also learned about your father's situation. The Guard Division has already set out to rescue him."
"What!?" Jin Junli stood up quickly, his eyes blazing with light. He rushed to Zhang Ye and demanded confirmation, "Marshal, what did you say? You sent someone to rescue my dad?"
"Hey, hey, hey, calm down, please." Lu Shan, who had been standing behind Zhang Ye, was dissatisfied. He held the gun tightly in his palm and muttered, "I almost shot!"
"That's true, but I have to warn you in advance, don't get too excited yet." Zhang Ye, holding a cigarette in his mouth and lighting a match, slowly reminded him, "I only sent people to rescue them. Whether they can be rescued or not is still uncertain. Moreover, whether they can be rescued alive is also uncertain."
"You know, there are two enemy regiments in North City. With so many people and so many eyes, anything could happen. If something unexpected happens during the rescue, you can't blame me if anything happens to the old man."
"No, no, Marshal, don't worry." Jin Junli hurriedly shook his head, immediately took two steps back, and knelt in front of Zhang Ye with a "thump". He solemnly assured: "You can lend a hand at this critical moment. My father and I are grateful. If an accident really happens, it will be our fate. No one else can be blamed."
What he said was the truth. After all, given the current situation, Jin Junli could not find any other reinforcements except the Independence Army rescue team.
