C373 It's All over
Yang Chen, who was standing beside Ning Guangyao, seemed not to have been seen at all.
Ning Guangyao was delighted, "Yang Pojun, how many times have I told you? Don't call me that when we meet in private. Do you think I don't know that you are lying?"
"Hehe, Old Ning, you know me better. But in front of so many soldiers, I have to give you some face." Yang Pojun said.
Ning Guangyao ignored Yang Pojun's politeness. Although he was half a head shorter, he still casually put his hand on Yang Pojun's shoulder and sighed, "The last time we saw each other was at a meeting. It's been a few months already. We two old friends can be considered to have met for a long time.
"I have nothing to do every day. As a soldier, as long as I don't fight, I can't be busy. Unlike you who have to give a speech and study there every day, I don't have time to see you again." Yang Pojun laughed.
"Aren't you going to run for the Politburo standing committee as well? With your qualifications, you are almost certain to be elected as one of the leading cadres of the country. You might be busier than me then."
"Haha, then I'll leave it to your blessings …"
The two middle-aged men chatted as they stood in the corridor.
Ning Guodong and a bunch of bodyguards were standing behind Ning Guangyao. They didn't dare to make a sound when the two big figures were talking.
Yang Chen knew that Yang Pojun was pretending to not know him, but he didn't get angry. After all, he didn't want to go against him, and he didn't come here for him.
However, he didn't expect that Ning Guangyao and Yang Pojun would have such a close relationship. According to age, Ning Guangyao should be a few years older, but it wasn't much different. After all, that era was not as obvious as today's generation after generation.
After the two old friends chatted for five to six minutes, Ning Guangyao pointed at Wu Tie and said, "This guy said he came to find you and Xuehua. You two know each other. Eh, by the way, why isn't he seeing Xuehua?"
Yang Pojun finally could no longer avoid Yang Chen who was standing on the side. The smile on his face gradually disappeared as he said lightly, "This is a long story. Old Ning, come in with my personal guard for a cup of hot tea. Xuehua is not feeling well, so she couldn't come to see you today."
"She is not feeling well. She is being held captive by you. Of course she is not feeling well." Yang Chen sneered.
Yang Pojun's face sank, "What nonsense are you spouting!?"
"Forbidden foot?" Ning Guangyao was shocked, "What do you mean? Yang Pojun, you want Xuehua to ban her feet? "
Yang Pojun took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress his anger as he said, "We have some private matters to settle, so you don't have to worry about it, Ning."
"How can I not worry? You've been friends with Xuehua and me for decades. I know your personalities very well. Xuehua has always been gentle and would never take the initiative to provoke anyone. She has always been obedient to you, so how could you lock Xuehua up for no reason?" Ning Guangyao frowned and was confused.
Yang Pojun's face became more and more unsightly. A hint of anger flashed in his eyes, but he did not flare up. He only said: "This matter is very complicated, so you don't need to worry about it. This young man and I will settle this matter."
With that, Yang Pojun looked at Yang Chen coldly and said, "Come with me."
Of course Yang Chen wouldn't be afraid of him, he wouldn't just let him say whatever he wanted to say. He stood still and said, "I don't have anything to say to you, just say it immediately. If you have nothing to say, then I'll go find it myself."
"Do you know who you're talking to?" Yang Pojun said in a deep voice.
"Who I talk to depends on your attitude." Yang Chen refused to give in at all.
"Do you think I'll let you wander around my military camp?" Yang Pojun's eyes were about to spew out anger, "Do you think that I don't dare to lock you up in front of Prime Minister Ning?"
"You can try." Yang Chen sneered.
Ning Guangyao saw that the two of them were at loggerheads, so he tried to dissuade them, "What are you guys doing? Pojun, quickly tell us what happened. What is this young man's relationship with you?"
Yang Pojun was silent. He looked at Yang Chen with a murderous look on his face. After all, he was the commander of a troop and his hands were stained with the blood of countless enemies. The moment he got angry, a sharp aura started to rise from his entire body, which made the several bodyguards beside Wu Tie tense up.
The man in front of him seemed to be more unwilling to see him than he had imagined. Yang Chen didn't know why he would reject him so much. Obviously, the reason why he stopped Guo Xuehua was because of his own feelings.
Just when Yang Chen was too lazy to waste time with Yang Pojun and was planning to look for Guo Xuehua on his own, he heard a surprised and delighted female voice coming from the arch at the other end of the aisle, "Yang Chen!?"
Yang Chen turned his head and saw Guo Xuehua with messy hair and an extremely haggard face. She was standing there with tears in her eyes as she looked at him excitedly.
Compared to the woman he had seen before, this woman seemed to have aged quite a few years. Her face was dull, her eyes were sunken, and her lips were slightly pale. At this moment, she stood in the cold wind, like a withered leaf in the middle of autumn that was on the verge of collapse.
It was not only Yang Chen, even Yang Pojun, Wu Tie and the others all had different expressions on their faces when they saw Guo Xuehua's appearance. This was especially true for Wu Tie. It was as if he had seen something terrifying. Anger surged up in his eyes as he glared at Yang Pojun. Obviously, he was dissatisfied with how Yang Pojun tortured Guo Xuehua to such a state.
Guo Xuehua, however, was not in the mood to pay attention to her situation. She didn't care about her messy hair. Her hair fluttered in front of her forehead as she ran towards Yang Chen with all her might.
Yang Chen only frowned for a moment. In the end, he allowed Guo Xuehua to hug his waist, hugging him tightly.
Guo Xuehua cried tears of joy. She hugged Yang Chen tightly, leaned her head on Yang Chen's chest and kept shouting, "Child, child, my child, Mommy finally found you …"
Although these words were vague, the people beside them could hear them clearly.
Yang Pojun's face was ashen, but he remained silent.
On the other hand, Ning Guangyao and Ning Guodong were shocked at first, then they looked at Yang Pojun and Yang Chen with disbelief.
Guo Xuehua's child? Then, these two were father and son!?
Although he did not understand what was going on, why did a son suddenly appear on Yang Family, but it was obvious that the matter in front of him was not fake. Otherwise, why would Yang Pojun cover up this matter?
Yang Chen didn't know what he was thinking at the moment. His mind was empty, he let the woman in his arms cry on his chest, let her hug him, and call him "Yang Chen", "son", "child" … Her voice was hoarse and weak, but it was like a powerful hammer that was violently pounding against her heart.
He wanted to make his heart hurt.
However, even though his heart was in pain, Yang Chen still felt warm, as if something was gradually melting.
This was something he had never felt before … Yang Chen thought.
Guo Xuehua's personal guard, Xiao Wen, and Little Li also ran here. The two female soldiers' faces and ears were red. It was obvious that they were ashamed of Yang Pojun and couldn't even raise their heads.
Yang Pojun glared at the two girls, "Who allowed you two to let Madam out?"
Xiao Wen and Xiao Li looked at each other, but did not dare to speak.
"It's me."
An old voice came from the arched door. Yang Gongming, who looked a little depressed, appeared with the old woman in front of everyone.
"Elder Yang?" Ning Guangyao was filled with respect as he bowed from afar. Ning Guodong immediately recognized who it was. Even his father had to bow to a senior.
The anger in Yang Pojun's eyes immediately died down and he cried out: "Father?!"
"I was the one who told Xuehua to come out, and it was also me. Tell her that Yang Chen came looking for her." Yang Gongming sighed and walked up to them, and said to Yang Pojun, who seemed to be in disbelief, "Pojun, you've gone a bit too far with this matter. How can you treat Xuehua like this when she wants to see her own son? "
"Father, I …" Yang Pojun wanted to explain, but he knew that this was not the time. He sighed and looked at Ning Guangyao, who was standing beside him, speechless. Yang Pojun's eyes were filled with worry.
Obviously, Ning Guangyao and co. heard this and felt that it was terrible.
At this time, Guo Xuehua was finally close to tears. Although Yang Chen didn't say a word in the middle and just stood there silently while she hugged him and cried, but Guo Xuehua smiled happily. She couldn't help but touch Yang Chen's face with her hands, mesmerizing him as she looked at his emotionless face.
"Yang Chen, thank you for coming to find mom. Mom is really happy that you came to see me. Now, even if you let me die, I won't have any regrets."
"What do you mean 'not dying'? Are you saying this in front of an old man like me?" Yang Gongming laughed and scolded. He turned around and said to Ning Guangyao, "Prime Minister Ning, I'm an old man who deals with family matters. I wonder if you and your son can stay away for a while?"
Although Ning Guangyao really wanted to know what was going on, he did not dare to ignore Yang Gongming's request. "Okay, Mr Yang, I will bring them to Pojun's office first."
When Ning Guangyao took his men away, the empty corridor finally quieted down completely. Only a few of Yang Pojun's personal guards were left, watching everything solemnly.
Yang Gongming looked at his son who was full of worry. He then looked at the expressionless Yang Chen and said, "Yang Chen, bring your mother to the place where you live."
Yang Pojun suddenly opened his eyes. Guo Xuehua also turned her head to look at her father-in-law in shock. A flash of surprise appeared in Yang Chen's eyes.
"Father, how can we let Xuehua follow this kid?" Yang Pojun asked.
"Do you mean to say that I'll keep you locked up like a prisoner?" Yang Gongming said unhappily, "Besides, Xuehua will definitely want to see more of Yang Chen, right?"
Guo Xuehua looked at Yang Pojun with disappointment and coldness in her eyes. She then looked at the hesitating Yang Chen and softly nodded, "As long as Yang Chen is willing, of course I am willing. If Yang Chen doesn't want, then I will follow you and return to the Yanjing."
"Why are you going back to the Yanjing? Your body is so weak, take care of yourself here in Jiangnan, there's no lack of a wife like you in the Yanjing Big House, I still have to stay here and look around for a few days." Yang Gongming said to Yang Chen, "Yang Chen, don't be so silly. Since you've already made your choice, don't be so silly. She's not someone else but your own mother. She became like this just to meet you!"
Yang Chen's body shook. He looked at Guo Xuehua's pale and weak face, yet he smiled happily. He took a deep breath and nodded, "I know. I can bring her back. Anyway, we have everything in the room."
"No way!"
Yang Pojun suddenly shouted. His eyebrows frowned and he finally couldn't control his anger as he shouted, "Father! Even if it is your decision, I will dare to disobey it this time! I can tolerate them recognizing each other, and I can also tolerate you letting Xuehua return to her Yanjing. But I can't tolerate letting Xuehua stay with this kid! What was this!? Is my husband dead? Or could I not compare with this little kid who had nothing to do with Yang Family that had already been there for more than twenty years!? Letting him return to the Yang Family is already a great sacrifice, and he has been contradicting me at every turn, so on what basis would I have to indulge him with everything!? "
"Pojun!"
"There's no need to speak any further, father. I've made up my mind!"
A hint of determination flashed across Yang Pojun's eyes. He suddenly pulled out a 54 gun from the waist of one of his personal guards and aimed at Yang Chen's heart!
"If you dare to bring my woman with you today, it doesn't matter whether my blood flows in your body or not, I'd rather kill you as a spy who trespassed into the military camp, and forget about everything!"
