After more than ten hours of squeaking, the train finally arrived at Nanjing Station.
Zhang Anping accompanied his cousin and others to get off the bus.
On the platform, three cars were waiting there. When they saw my cousin and others coming down, they immediately greeted them respectfully and said:
"Virgo."
Zhang Anping stood wisely with the other entourage, not juxtaposed with his cousin because of his nephew's status, but he was greeted by all the secret agents, and he immediately noticed the unfamiliar faces among the entourage.
Although they were curious, they didn't say anything.
Zhang Anping took the opportunity to look at the people who greeted him.
Young Xu Baichuan can see the outline of his future;
Wu Jingzhong, who had great trust in Yu Zecheng, is now also a handsome young man;
Li Weigong, who was forced to death by his own students, did not look like a potbelly, but actually had a little bit of meat left;
Wang Tianfeng, who was even more cruel to him, also appeared as a handsome guy - he was obviously the predecessor of the military commander, so why were there so many handsome guys!
Zhang Anping couldn't help but slander him in his heart.
The cousin deliberately did not arrange for Zhang Anping to ride with him to see if Zhang Anping would ride with him. As a result, after Zhang Anping sat down with his cousin, he decisively got into the car where Zheng Yaoxian was sitting.
It was then that my cousin made arrangements: "Tell Zheng Yaoxian to send Anping home first."
Anping?
The "King Kong" who knew the "hero spectrum" by heart immediately realized who Anping was.
The son of the deputy chief of the Finance Department and the nephew of his Virgo family.
Xu Baichuan rushed over first and got into Zheng Yaoxian's car.
"Lao Liu, Virgo asked you to take Mr. Zhang home first."
The first time someone called him Young Master Zhang, Zhang Anping couldn't help but laugh and said: "Sir, please don't yell randomly. If you don't mind, just call me Anping. But don't dare call me Young Master. My little body can't bear it." rise!"
At this time, Xu Baichuan was already a captain, and Zhang Anping didn't want to pretend to be big-headed - Xu Baichuan in the Kite TV series was quite cowardly, forced to stay behind, and even wore a grass-green hat.
In the end, he was tricked into the Public Security Bureau by "Old Six".
But this person is one of the Eight Great Vajras who came through the Anti-Japanese War. For Zhang Anping, this kind of person can only make friends, not enemies.
Zhang Anping had already planned his character in the Secret Service: friends all over the place and a bunch of buddies.
Only in this way will there be no backlash in the future. Even if someone says he is a communist, others won't believe him, right?
Zhang Anping's attitude even made Xu Baichuan feel comfortable.
Do you really think they are willing to surrender to this young master or that young master? It’s just the trend!
But deep down, they look down on this kind of young man - despite the sweet words, if they can stab him once at a critical moment, they will definitely not mind stabbing him three times.
"Since Brother Anping said this, I will be disrespectful. Don't call me sir, just call me Brother Baichuan." Xu Baichuan said this in a polite manner.
Zhang Anping and Xu Baichuan chatted about each other, and Zheng Yaoxian would occasionally interject. The atmosphere seemed to be very congenial, but I am afraid only the parties involved know the details.
…
The military commander, who has made all the changes and left a deep imprint on an era, is still just a secret service (military and police) department under the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. Compared with the overwhelming power in the future, the current secret service is outweighed by the first and third departments. Can't start yet.
Although Zhang Guanfu, deputy chief of the Finance Section, is a close confidant of the director, even the Secret Service is a seedling now, so it is naturally impossible for him to live in the most famous Yihe Road in Nanjing.
After his family moved here, he looked for a house to rent in Huiyuan with the help of his cousin.
That day, a car stopped in front of his house, and a young man got out of the car carrying a suitcase with wheels.
After saying goodbye to the people in the car, the young man arrived in front of Zhang Guanfu's house.
The young man is naturally Zhang Anping, who has just returned from Shanghai.
He stared at the door, and after hesitating for a while, he finally stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Who is it!" A woman's voice came, and soon the door was opened, and a fashionable middle-aged woman wearing a cheongsam appeared in Zhang Anping's field of vision.
The woman was stunned when she saw a young man in a Chinese tunic suit standing at the door.
Zhang Anping looked at his mother and said softly: "Mom, I'm back."
"Anping!"
The woman yelled and stepped forward excitedly, reaching out to touch Zhang Anping's face. The warmth brought by the touch made her realize that this was not a dream. The son she had not seen for four years was finally standing in front of her again.
The woman was so excited that she cried with joy.
In the room, Wang Chunlian held Zhang Anping's hand and kept talking.
"Anping, why were you so stupid back then? Tell your mother that you want to study abroad! It would be better for you to just leave a letter and leave quietly! Do you know how your mother and I have lived in the past four years?"
Wang Chunlian complained about Zhang Anping, but Zhang Anping had to laugh at him.
After his mother's mood stabilized, he took out the cosmetics he bought from the United States and fooled her for a while, which finally made her smile more slowly. Finally, he told her all kinds of interesting things about the United States, which made Wang Chunlian laugh heartily.
Zhang Anping secretly thought that he had finally passed the test of my mother.
He actually wanted to tell his parents in advance.
But after much deliberation, I didn't say anything.
Although his cousin had already made a fortune at that time, he had just taken charge of the Secret Service at that time and was short of money. The family was just a clerk and didn't have much savings. He was afraid that his parents would sell everything to satisfy him if he brought it up, so he discussed it with his cousin. When the move comes, kill first and then play.
In fact, it was his cousin who helped after all. Zhang Anping saved a little money after traveling through time for more than a year, and with his cousin's help, he was able to cover the travel expenses and initial living expenses.
After talking for a while, Zhang Anping took out a deposit certificate worth 5,000 US dollars: "Mom, you keep this money."
After taking it, Wang Chunlian saw the amount on it clearly and said in shock: "Citibank's certificate of deposit? 5,000? Or US dollars? Anping, where did you get so much money!"
"This is what I earned in the United States - foreigners, stupid people with too much money, rush to give me money." Zhang Anping pretended to be proud, but the mother didn't think so. She was used to the unscrupulous behavior of foreigners in China. She instinctively thought that it was difficult for foreigners to earn money, and immediately asked Zhang Anping to explain the source of the money.
Seeing his mother like this, Zhang Anping could only reveal the matter of selling the patent: "Did you see the wheels on this box?"
"I saw it. This kind of box has been selling very well on the main road in the past two years. It's really convenient to take this with you on business trips."
"This is what I invented. I made a lot of money by selling it to Americans." Zhang Anping looked proud, like a child showing off to his parents.
Wang Chunlian said happily: "My family, Anping, has been smart since he was a child!"
In the evening, Zhang Guanfu, who had been working hard, quietly left early and returned home an hour early.
When he hurried to the door of his house, he heard the chatter of his wife and son in the yard. Zhang Guanfu concealed the eagerness on his face, took a deep breath before returning to his usual appearance, and then knocked on the door slowly.
"It's your father who's back! I knew he would get off work early when he heard you were back -"
"Mom, I'll open the door."
Zhang Anping rushed to open the door first. When he opened the door and saw the middle-aged man standing outside the door, he couldn't help but blushing and said softly: "Dad."
Zhang Guanfu coughed dryly and said calmly: "I'm back."
"came back."
"Well, just come back."
Zhang Guanfu said nonchalantly, and then hurriedly walked into the house. He was afraid that if he took a few steps slower, he could not help but want to hug his son whom he had not seen for four years.
Zhang Anping was both amused and saddened by his father's deliberate indifference in order to maintain his dignity as the head of the family. He couldn't help but step up to catch up and hug his father from behind who was suppressing his excitement:
"Dad, I miss you."
"You..." Zhang Guanfu was a little confused. The influence of traditional culture prevented him from saying similar words. But feeling his son's sincere embrace, he finally took off his disguise, patted Zhang Anping's hand around him, and repeated One sentence:
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."
Wang Chunlian in the yard looked at the father and son and couldn't help but smile.
It's nice to have the whole family reunited.
night.
Wang Chunlian cooked a sumptuous table of dishes and kept putting dishes in bowls for her son. She couldn't stop even if she piled the bowls high.
Zhang Anping raised his glass: "Dad, Mom, I'd like to toast you."
The couple raised their glasses, happily clinked glasses of wine with their son, and drank it down happily.
This was the first time in four years that the family had dinner at the same table, chatting until late at night.
Zhang Guanfu winked at Wang Chunlian, but Wang Chunlian, who had been talking endlessly to her son, didn't notice her husband's wink. It wasn't until Zhang Guanfu kicked her under the table that she remembered her husband's quiet explanation before and asked with a smile:
"Anping, what are your plans when you come back? You've reached the age of marrying a wife, and what has your mother been doing for you these past two days?"
Zhang Guanfu pricked up his ears and listened.
"Plans? I told my cousin, and he said he would hold another training class and let me coach there."
Wang Chunlian didn't understand very well and thought her son was going to be a teacher, so she immediately smiled from ear to ear. However, Zhang Guanfu knew what the training class was like and couldn't help but frowned.
After all, the Secret Service was not in the spotlight and had a bad reputation, and he was not happy about it.
Although he works there himself.
"Don't worry about getting a wife. Mom will find one for you! I know you young people are shy." Wang Chunlian smiled happily.
"Mom, don't worry about getting a wife. Now it's all about free love. Can you let me find it myself? I will definitely find you a daughter-in-law that you are 100% satisfied with!" Zhang Anping is not shy - After all, he is a time traveler from later generations, how can he get an arranged marriage?
"Ahem!"
After Zhang Guanfu coughed twice, he said calmly: "Anping, why do you want to become a teacher in a special training class?"
"Dad, you should also understand the current situation. The Japanese are pressing forward every step of the way. There is no telling when a war will break out. As a Chinese, my son must do what he can. Are you right?"
Facing Zhang Anping's rhetorical question, Zhang Guanfu was speechless. Anyone with a discerning eye could see the situation!
But the higher-ups are pretending to be blind and ostrich like a blind man. They always think that China is very big and they can throw it here and there. Throwing it here and there will buy them enough time to settle down at home and then fight against the outside world.
"But why do you want to come to your cousin's place? I mean, if you want to be a teacher, you don't have to come here."
"This is what I have learned in the past few years."
"What?" Zhang Guanfu was shocked.
Wang Chunlian was startled by her husband's reaction and complained: "Why are you making such a fuss!"
"It's okay, it's okay." Zhang Guanfu didn't want his wife to know about the secret service's activities, so he suppressed the excitement and covered it up, but his heart was churning.
In the Secret Service, he was in charge of finance and nothing else.
But this does not mean that he is unaware of the activities of the Secret Service - the Secret Service is shady, not only because of the nature of its work, but also because of its methods!
He had seen the Secret Service torture people as if they were not human beings, so how could he want his son to be exposed to this?
After suppressing his anxiety and chatting for a while, he asked Wang Chunlian to tidy up and motioned for Zhang Anping to come to the study with him.
Entering the study, Zhang Guanfu's face darkened. He wanted to scold him, but after all, it was the first time he saw his son in four years. He suppressed his anger and said, "Anping, why do you want to learn this? This is something that good people can contact. Do you know how murky the water inside is? Do you know what the Secret Service does? "
"Dad, don't forget what I learned."
Zhang Guanfu became even more angry when he mentioned this: "How can you learn this? What's so bad about learning that you choose to learn this? Even if you were a soldier, I wouldn't be so angry!"
"Dad, the Japanese are determined to destroy China. The war between China and Japan is imminent. As the war begins, my son, as a Chinese, can I stand by and watch? You may think that the spy profession is too dark, but on the battlefield, the intelligence profession It’s extremely important again!”
Zhang Anping said softly: "No matter what the industry is, as long as it is beneficial to the war that breaks out in the future, someone has to do it! As a Chinese, why can't I do it?"
Zhang Guanfu listened to his son's sonorous answer. He wanted to refute it but didn't know how to refute it. After sighing several times, he said:
"It's normal for you to have your own ideas when you grow up, but you have to promise me that you will never be an inhumane executioner, okay?"
Zhang Anping nodded seriously: "I promise!"
