“Commander Wei… Commander Wei, you have a phone call…”
Wei Kangnian, jolted awake by a tap, paused for a moment to clear his head before taking the phone.
“Hello, this is Wei Kangnian, who are you?”
“Dad! It’s Wei Xinghuo! I’m trapped by some people in the grove at the exit of the middle section of the Capital Airport Expressway. Please bring help to save me quickly!”
Normally, if Wei Kangnian received a call from Wei Xinghuo, he’d be so furious he’d immediately toss the phone aside.
Back when he first took Wei Xinghuo in, Wei Kangnian had been full of hope for him.
He had wished for this lad to grow up, study hard, join the military, toughen up, and eventually become his successor.
But as Wei Xinghuo grew older, he started indulging in excess, eating and drinking recklessly, and hanging around with spoiled rich kids every day.
This time, however, when Wei Kangnian heard that Wei Xinghuo’s life was in danger, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of compassion.
After all, to Wei Kangnian, Wei Xinghuo was still his child.
Even if Wei Xinghuo had his faults, outsiders had no right to judge him; at most, Wei Kangnian would take him home, close the door, and give him a proper lesson.
If Wei Kangnian himself publicly criticised Wei Xinghuo, wouldn’t that indirectly be a slap in the face to his own judgement and parenting?
So, with a sigh, Wei Kangnian said, “Alright, give them my name, I’ll bring people over right away!”
After hanging up, Wei Kangnian glanced at the guard.
“Notify the other guards immediately to prepare the vehicles, I need to get there as fast as possible!”
“Yes, sir!”
True to his military roots, even past the age of seventy, Wei Kangnian’s decisiveness and efficiency were as sharp as ever.
In less than half a minute, the convoy and guards were fully assembled.
As always, it was a line of military green jeeps. Wei Kangnian took the front passenger seat of the lead vehicle, and the convoy sped off without delay.
At that moment, Xu Fei, standing in the grove, wasn’t in any rush to act. On the contrary, his earlier public taunting had been deliberate.
Before coming to the capital, Bai Zhan had kindly warned Xu Fei to be cautious of Wei Xinghuo and Wei Kangnian.
But now, Xu Fei suddenly recalled that Wei Kangnian was an upright, no-nonsense old soldier.
The man couldn’t tolerate the slightest speck of dirt in his sight. Even if Wei Xinghuo used the threat to his life as bait to summon Wei Kangnian here, Xu Fei had a plan.
As long as Xu Fei later exposed all the rotten things Wei Xinghuo had done over the years, he was absolutely certain of Wei Kangnian’s character and temper.
Not only would Wei Kangnian refuse to shield Wei Xinghuo, but he might even disown him on the spot!
Meanwhile, Wei Xinghuo kept straining his eyes into the distance, his gaze practically burning with desperation.
After some time waiting anxiously, Wei Xinghuo suddenly spotted the convoy of military green jeeps approaching, and in his excitement, he immediately rushed forward.
Xu Fei turned his head to look as well, catching sight of Wei Kangnian seated in the front passenger position of the lead vehicle with a single glance.
