The white-haired old man moves very quickly. On the left side, steamed buns are being steamed on the stove, while on the right side, vegetables are being stir-fried. The aroma of rice fills the air, and the sound of oil sizzling arouses appetite.

In comparison, Cheng Suhao and Wei Chaolong are much clumsy. They mostly do physical work, carrying bowls and pots. Their clumsy figures seem a bit redundant in the small kitchen, but even so, they still

Work hard without complaining and dare not have any dissatisfaction.

The old man's back was facing away, and the room was filled with smoke, so Lu Han couldn't see his face clearly. At this time, Cheng Ying quickly entered the kitchen and said: "Grandpa, let me help you."

Grandpa? Lu Han couldn't help but be even more curious. This old man turned out to be Cheng Ying's grandfather, Cheng Suhao's father, which made him full of doubts about this man's identity.

When the old man heard that Cheng Ying was coming, he immediately turned around with a smile: "Yingying, why are you here! Your dad is too stupid, come and help me cook." At this time, Lu Han followed Cheng Ying slowly.

Entering the kitchen, when he saw the old man's face clearly, his body was shocked and he was so shocked that he could not speak.

The old man also saw Lu Han. Although he was old, his eyes were as sharp as a nighthawk, scanning Lu Han's body like an electric current.

As if he was very familiar, the old man called to Lu Han: "What are you still doing? Come over and help." After saying that, he immediately walked aside and opened the lid of the pot.

Lu Han glanced at Cheng Suhao and Wei Chaolong. They both stood there awkwardly. Cheng Suhao nuzzled at Lu Han, signaling him to go quickly. Lu Han understood and hurriedly walked to the old man's side to help him lift the lid of the pot.

"Go and wash the vegetables, the rice is gone." The old man seemed to be instructing his grandson, without saying anything. Lu Han, on the other hand, was even more diligent, squatting down and starting to wash the vegetables without saying a word.

Cheng Ying, who was cooking on the side, also felt something was wrong. She wondered why her grandfather seemed to know this stinky gangster? Had he ever interacted with him before? Impossible. Her grandfather had such a high military rank and he was just a soldier. How could there be any interactions with him?

Lu Han was very obedient. He washed vegetables, washed rice, stir-fried vegetables, and served rice. He was exactly like a new soldier in the cooking class. He did whatever heavy tasks he was told. He rushed to do whatever tasks he was tired of. After finishing a meal, he was basically eaten.

He did it, and even Cheng Ying only cooked two side dishes. Lu Han worked so hard, which made her even more curious, why did this stinky gangster change his gender today? He is so honest.

Lu Han was naturally in trouble, because the old man was none other than General Cheng Geng, the director of the General Information Department of the Ministry of National Defense. The General Information Department he was in charge of controlled all information about the Chinese military, including news and information at any level.

All the information had to go through his hands. I didn't expect that he actually lived here and was Cheng Suhao's father. In this way, everything was explained clearly.

Just imagine, a person who is in charge of the most confidential information in the country suddenly appears, then naturally all his information is no longer a secret. Unless he doesn't want to tell it, otherwise, the whole world will know that he is the "leading" special forces soldier.

The reason why Lu Han is so honest is that Cheng Geng's military rank is so high, General, that it is almost like a mountain weighing him down.

Secondly, Lu Han knew that this old man was a selfless old stubborn. He remembered that Cheng Geng was a commander of the South China Sea Navy. He was very popular and law-abiding. He was sent by the "leading leader" to the South China Sea to guide the special forces for half a year.

In layman's terms, he helped Cheng Geng train the new recruit Dan Zi, but in the end because the method was too bloody and cruel, Cheng Geng was eager to protect the young boy, so he refused. The two had an argument, but in the end neither one got an advantage. How should Lu Han train him?

How can they train? After half a year, they went their separate ways. Since then, neither of them has seen each other.

Lu Han wouldn't even think of meeting him to death. And looking at him now, he seems to be living a leisurely retirement life. Could it be that he has retired? Although he is curious in his heart, he will not ask why these things are still there.

It is better to swallow it in the stomach.

The meal took two hours to cook, and at exactly 12 noon, the five of us sat around the dining table, talking and laughing like a family gathering, and started eating.

Cheng Ying is the closest to Cheng Geng, and it seems that they have a good relationship. Cheng Geng kept praising Cheng Ying for being sensible and the food is delicious. Cheng Suhao and Wei Chaolong also smiled and toasted each other while picking up food. The four of them were talking and laughing.

It's fun.

This was very painful for Lu Han. He didn't dare to pick up the food with his chopsticks. He sat alone across from him, feeling very depressed. He had worked so hard to prepare a table of dishes, but he could only look at them but not eat them. He felt so sad.

Cheng Ying took a symbolic bite of the lotus root meat made by Lu Han. The lotus root slices were sweet and crispy, the meat filling was chewy, sweet and fragrant, and it was delicious. She couldn't help but glance at Lu Han opposite her, thinking that this stinky gangster was actually still...

Being able to cook seems to be not useless.

On a whim, the old man suddenly opened a bottle of Moutai that was lying next to him. The aroma of the national brew suddenly filled the house. After filling himself up with a glass, he suddenly handed the bottle to Lu Han: "Are you driving?"

"No...no." Lu Han hurriedly took it and filled a cup for himself. Cheng Geng raised the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

What can Lu Han say? He just drank it. I have to say that this Moutai is really a good wine. It has an elegant and delicate taste, a full and mellow body, a long aftertaste, and a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth.

"Lu Han, count the time, how long have we not seen each other?" As soon as these words came out, others immediately stopped eating and looked at Lu Han curiously. The latter smiled bitterly and said: "About... six... six years

.”

Cheng Geng nodded and played with the cup in his hand. Lu Han understood, and immediately held the bottle and filled it up. During this period, Cheng Ying kept using her eyes to stop him, but Lu Han didn't pay attention at all. He was joking. Now is the opportunity to please.

How can you not drink.

As the saying goes, if a man doesn't drink, he won't have anything to talk about.

Cheng Geng took a sip, savoring the sweet liquid. After drinking it with a slurp, he smacked his lips: "Lu Han, I heard that you were expelled from the military. Is this true?"

"...Yes." Lu Han slowly sat down with an awkward expression. Being asked like this by the admiral made him feel ashamed.

Cheng Geng was fine and continued: "I remember that you were the squad leader at Longtou. How could you be fired for no reason? What happened?"

Lu Han was stunned and immediately asked, "You...you don't know?"

"Should I know?" Cheng Geng spread his hands with an innocent expression, looking cheerful and harmless.

This shocked Lu Han. Even the head of the General Information Department of the Ministry of National Defense didn't know about the news that he had been expelled from the military. How could this be possible? Who suppressed the news? Is there anything else that he didn't know about?

Do you know?

Cheng Geng suddenly came closer: "Lu Han, can you tell me?"

Lu Han slowly raised his head, and the four of them looked at him curiously, their eyes full of doubts, especially the gazes of Cheng Ying and Cheng Geng, the grandfather and grandson, who made it almost difficult for him to look directly at them.

After Lu Han struggled repeatedly in his heart, he murmured: "I...I healed people to death."

"Doctors kill people??" Cheng Geng took a breath and said in a rather uneasy tone: "Who is that person?"

Lu Han was confused about whether he should say it or not. He raised his head. Wei Chaolong and Cheng Suhao flashed their expectant eyes, waiting for him to speak. Cheng Ying was even more curious and hopeful, not to mention Cheng Geng, who shot out eagle eyes.

The gaze that was like a real thing made Lu Han feel extremely guilty.

He hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "General Cheng, this matter... I don't want others to know."

Lu Han's meaning was very clear. I can tell you one person about this matter, and forget about the others. Cheng Geng understood and winked at Cheng Suhao and Wei Chaolong, and they hurriedly got up and walked out.

Cheng Geng said to Cheng Ying again: "Yingying, go to the kitchen and see if the soup is ready."

How could Cheng Ying not know what her grandfather meant? She nodded obediently and stood up slowly. She kept glaring at Lu Han. She was very dissatisfied. Huh, what is there to hide? I don't care to know about it.

After a while, Cheng Geng and Lu Han were the only two people left in the room. Cheng Geng's eyes flashed brightly and he said in a deep voice: "Can we talk now?"

Lu Han tightened his mouth, his brows furrowed deeply, and the words slowly came out from between his teeth: "Yes... he is my former old chief."

"Old chief?" Cheng Geng immediately searched for information about this person in his mind.

"That day, the old chief complained of back pain and asked me to use acupuncture to warm him up and open the acupuncture points. I did so. There was nothing unusual at first. He only said it hurt a little. I thought it was because he had applied too hard, but it didn't take long.

The old chief's body can't hold on anymore... Wu..." When he said this, his whole body was shaking uncontrollably and he fell into incomparable grief.

A grown man burst into tears and covered his face while weeping. Although Lu Han tried his best to suppress his tears, his whole body was shaking extremely violently and his voice sobbed: "I... I really don't... know... wuwu... old chief, I,

I'm sorry..." Lu Han's tears finally rolled down the corners of his eyes. He had hidden this incident for so long that when he thought about it now, the past was still heartbreaking.

Cheng Geng kept looking at Lu Han without disturbing him, letting him cry out all the pain in his heart. He knew how much courage it took for a soldier, a man who stood upright to cry loudly in front of others, and he was suppressed by

The pain in my heart is much more than that of ordinary people.

After a minute passed, Lu Han gradually stopped crying and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. He slowly returned to normal, with his mouth tightened and not speaking, and his eyes were a little dazed and lifeless.

"What will happen after that? Will you be directly fired from the military?"

"No." Lu Han kept his head lowered and his voice was very calm: "At first, they said that I was guilty of murdering an officer and would have to go to a military court. But in the end, I smoothed over my connections and cleared up my connections, and the case was suppressed.

I also received a lighter sentence, except that I was expelled from the military and the party, and my military records for ten years were erased."

"Oh..." He groaned for a long time. Cheng Geng knew what this punishment meant. The army no longer wants you. You are a stain on the army. Expulsion from the party, military membership, and erasure of army files are undoubtedly the most serious consequences for a soldier.

, the most severe punishment.

Cheng Geng suddenly took the wine bottle, stood up and poured a glass of wine for Lu Han, then filled it for himself and drank it all in one gulp. When Lu Han saw this, he just flashed a puzzled look and did not drink.

Cheng Geng smacked his lips and said slowly: "Lu Han, in the past ten years in the army, you have made outstanding contributions and performed outstandingly. You have devoted almost everything to the country. But in the end, the country abandoned you like this. I want to know, do you hate it?"

?"

"Hate?" Lu Han had never thought about this problem. He slowly lowered his eyebrows and his eyes wandered twice: "I don't think I hate it. I thank the army for letting me grow up and letting me know my comrades. I have learned a lot.

Although I have been expelled from the military now, I feel that it was my own fault and had nothing to do with the army."

Cheng Geng kept staring at Lu Han's eyes, which were very clear. Although they were a little distracted just now, at this moment, his eyes became extremely firm, showing the courage and tenacity that a soldier should have.

"Good! You are indeed worthy of being the leader!" Cheng Geng suddenly praised, which frightened Lu Han. He wondered what happened to the old general today. He still remembered when he was performing missions in the South China Sea.

Because he didn't abide by the rules, Cheng Geng often pushed against him. He was still not used to it now.

"General Cheng, don't you know about my affairs...?"

Unexpectedly, Cheng Geng immediately waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't call me General Cheng, call me Mr. Cheng. I retired three years ago. Now I am the director of the Agricultural Museum. I plant and raise trees in this area."

Hua, those national affairs have long been out of my control, haha..."

Lu Han suddenly realized that he had committed the crime a year ago. It was normal for someone to have retired for three years and not know about it.

The only thing that made him curious was that since he had retired, how could he still look through the army's files? Could it be that he was retired in name only, but actually still held military power? Lu Han couldn't help but be speechless. Things in the army are indeed complicated enough.

.

At this time, Cheng Geng suddenly asked: "Lu Han, do you know why you are asked to help this time?"

Finally getting down to business, Lu Han sorted out his turbulent emotions and whispered, "Is it because of Taiantang?"

"That's right." Cheng Geng sounded more worried and sighed: "According to Wei Chaolong's investigation, this group of terrorists has been scattered in every corner of Dongdu. They have very good anti-reconnaissance capabilities, their whereabouts are elusive, and they carry many

Arms are very dangerous and may very well cause a terrorist attack during the Prime Minister's visit."

Lu Han knew the seriousness of the matter. Judging from his past experience of fighting against those terrorists, they should be mercenaries. They were skilled and ruthless. From these two points alone, he must increase his vigilance and take precautions.

At this time, Lu Han suddenly noticed that there was a lot of gloom between Cheng Geng's eyebrows. He was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Mr. Cheng, what's wrong?"

"There is another thing that gives me a headache." Cheng Geng squirmed his Adam's apple and said slowly: "Wei Chaolong and the others also found many chemicals in Tai'an Hall. It is said that... it is mefosinic acid."

"What?!" Lu Han's pupils shrank suddenly, his whole body seemed to be frozen, and he was exuding unspeakable shock. He couldn't believe that those bastards actually had such a thing.

Methofronic acid, also known as sarin gas, is a deadly nerve gas developed by the German Nazis during World War II. It can paralyze the human central nervous system. It can invade the human body through the respiratory tract or skin and mucous membranes, and is extremely lethal once it is released.
