At this time, Lin Yu suddenly remembered that Xiao Manru had told him before that he would contact Mr. He every night, or contact Mr. He's lieutenants to confirm whether Mr. He was safe.
So since Mr. He has lost contact with the headquarters for three days and three nights, he has naturally lost contact with Xiao Manru, so Xiao Manru should have known about this matter for a long time!
Lin Yu couldn't figure out why Xiao Manru didn't tell him earlier, and was still trying to deceive him even now!
Hearing Lin Yu's question, Xiao Manru on the other end of the phone fell silent for a moment, and then suddenly burst into tears without warning, filled with grief and long-repressed grievance and despair!
Lin Yu was stunned by her crying, his heart was beating wildly, and he asked urgently, "Aunt Xiao, what's wrong with you? Did something happen to Uncle He?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill from the soles of his feet to his back, fearing that something had happened to Mr. He.
Xiao Manru on the other end of the phone didn't respond to his words, she was still crying loudly by herself, venting her inner emotions to her heart's content.
Lin Yu shouted anxiously, asking repeatedly, "Is it possible that Uncle He has encountered something unexpected? Please make it clearer!"
"I...I don't know..."
Xiao Manru then tried her best to control her emotions, her crying became a little quieter, and she sobbed, "Since he left, he has only called me three times in the past six months..."
"Only called you three times?!"
Lin Yu couldn't help being surprised when he heard this, and asked hurriedly, "Didn't you agree to contact each other every day?!"
"That was before..."
Xiao Manru choked up and said, "Before rushing to the border this time, he specifically told me that this mission was difficult and he had to perform tasks abroad from time to time. He was unable to contact me many times. In order to avoid my worry of not being able to contact him sometimes,
So he canceled the habit of contacting me every day and only called me when he returned to the base camp... I only heard the news from elsewhere yesterday that he had lost contact with the army... Wuwuwu
…”
Speaking of this, Xiao Manru cried sadly again.
"I see……"
Lin Yu murmured solemnly, then changed the subject and asked hurriedly, "Then why didn't you tell me yesterday? And why did you lie to me today?!"
"This is what your Uncle He ordered before he left!"
Xiao Manru cried and said.
"Uncle He ordered it? What do you mean?!"
Lin Yu was confused and puzzled for a while.
"Before he left, he specifically told me that no matter what happens to him this time, I am not allowed to ask you for help!"
Xiao Manru cried and said, "When you called me last time, you specifically asked me to hide everything about the border from you, especially his situation. No matter whether he was trapped in a siege or died at the border,
Let me not tell you, let me tell you only the good news and not the bad news..."
"Uncle He...why did he do this..."
Lin Yu's heart seemed to be hit by something in an instant, and his emotions were mixed and indescribable.
Although he asked questions, he already guessed He Zizhen's intention in doing this.
"He did this because he didn't want you to risk going to the border, and it was for your safety..."
Xiao Manru choked up and said, "He also said that if the war situation at the border escalates and any news reaches Beijing, based on your nature, after knowing it, you will rush to the border at all costs. If you insist on rushing to the border, let me do it no matter what.
I want to dissuade you... In the past two days, the news that your Uncle He has lost contact has spread to Beijing. I was afraid that you would find out, so I visited Jiang Yan every morning and afternoon to inquire about your movements with her... But I
I dare not see you..."
The reason why she didn't dare to see Lin Yu was because she was afraid that she would not be able to control her emotions when she saw Lin Yu.
"Uncle He...why is he doing this..."
Lin Yu's eyes suddenly turned red and his nose felt sour. He didn't expect He Zizhen to care so much about his safety. He would rather die fighting at the border than risk his support!
"Jia Rong, listen to your Uncle He's advice, and listen to my advice..."
Xiao Manru sobbed, "Stay well in Beijing and don't worry about border matters... Your Uncle He may never come back. I don't want you to never come back either..."
