Jiang Chao's meaning was obvious. Either Wen Lingran was dead, or Wen Lingran voluntarily stayed in Athena and worked for Athena.
His younger brother has been looking for her for sixteen years, but she may not be the same Wen Lingran as before.
Haven't Jiang Teng thought about this?
Of course he had thought about it. It was precisely because it was unknowable that he had to figure it out. He always wanted to find a result for his sixteen years, whether it was good or bad, there had to be a result, right?
"Brother, no matter what, I have to find her.
I will not fall behind on this mission, and I will definitely complete it."
Jiang Teng assured in a deep voice.
Jiang Chao sighed, knowing that nothing he could say could shake his determination, and the target of the two incidents was the same organization, and he couldn't stop it even if he wanted to.
"I won't stop you, but you have to promise me to stay vigilant at all times and not to get carried away by anyone or anything."
Jiang Chao warned worriedly.
Jiang Teng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother, if you want me to stop being a trap for Americans, just say it straight away, instead of beating around the bush, you're not afraid that I won't understand?"
Jiang Chao picked up the document at hand and smashed it: "You bastard."
Jiang Teng didn't even bother to raise his hand to pick it up, and just let the document fall on him. It didn't hurt or itch. His elder brother was not willing to use force at all. Even if he threw a brick, it would definitely pass him by "coincidence".
, not even touching the corners of his clothes.
In the evening, the two brothers went home together. Jiang Chao usually lived in the army and would only go back to his second uncle's house to eat and stay when he was not busy.
His own parents are not in S City. Uncle Jiang is in the Beijing Military Region, and his mother is with the army to take care of his father. He is gilded here in S City, and will be transferred to the capital when he is promoted to a general.
Basically, the family's arrangement for him and Jiang Teng is to copy the path of Uncle Jiang and Jiang's father. From now on, the two cousins will be stationed in the Beijing Military Region and the other in the S City Military Region, watching each other and jointly carrying the banner of the Jiang family.
It was rare for the three men in the family to have dinner at the same table. Jiang's mother was the happiest. She prepared a sumptuous meal and cooked a few dishes that she was good at. Jiang's father was in a good mood and asked people to open the treasure.
Maotai, I am going to have two drinks with my nephew and son.
A bottle of Moutai was shared among three people, and each person only had two or three taels. They only tasted it briefly, and there was no greed for it.
When Jiang's mother learned that her son was going on a mission again tomorrow, she couldn't help but sigh: "It's almost the Chinese New Year and you have to go on a mission again, and you won't be back for the Chinese New Year."
Jiang Teng said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mom, I can't celebrate the New Year with you this year."
This is not the first time that her son has not been at home to celebrate the New Year. Jiang's mother is somewhat used to it. Besides, even if her son is at home, she and her husband are not necessarily at home. Her husband will go to the countryside to visit the soldiers stationed during the Chinese New Year, so naturally she will follow.
It takes several years for a family of three to get together for a reunion dinner.
"Mom just wants you to be safe and come back in good health."
What Jiang's mother cares about is not these forms, but her son's safety and life.
"Report to the chief's wife and promise to complete the task."
Jiang Teng playfully performed a military salute, which was similar to a military order.
Jiang's mother laughed and gave her son some vegetables, asking him to eat more.
Jiang's father had higher requirements for his son, and warned: "This mission must be completed well. It involves the military ranks of you and your brother. Next year, your military ranks will also be changed. Your military rank will be changed."
After several years, you are not tired of it, and I am tired of seeing it."
It would be more difficult for Jiang Chao to be promoted to general.
However, Jiang Teng's military rank still has a lot of room for improvement, and if he had accumulated military merit, his military rank would have been promoted to colonel long ago. However, the political opponents of the Jiang family deliberately suppressed Jiang Teng's momentum. After more than two years, they still let him stay.
In the position of major.
However, the suppression was only temporary. Jiang Teng had made many military achievements, but he was not promoted. Everyone in the military region was watching, and sooner or later they were going to be heartbroken. In order to prevent the soldiers from being heartbroken, the higher-ups decided to promote his son to the same rank.
This is the advantage of relying on military merit to earn military rank. Unlike relying on political performance to get promoted, there is nothing you can do if you are stuck for three to five years.
As long as Jiang Teng successfully completes the mission this time, the superiors will take the initiative to promote him to the military rank without him and his faction having to mention it.
As the commander, Jiang Chao will also make a note in his political achievements book.
"Let's eat when we eat. No matter what the military rank is, can we let them both have a good meal? Do you think this is the army's canteen?"
When Jiang's mother heard that her husband mentioned his military rank at the dinner table, she became angry and glared at her husband fiercely.
Jiang's father touched his nose angrily: "I just mentioned it casually."
"Don't you have anything else to say?
Why don't you care about your son's safety?
If it didn’t crawl out of your belly, you wouldn’t feel bad, would you?”
Jiang's mother complained with a dark face.
Jiang's father shouted that he was wronged: "How long have I stopped feeling sorry for him? He has been on vacation some time ago. Didn't I approve the vacation for him?
The fact that he was born from your belly is not due to me. If I had not provided the sperm, would you have given birth to this kid?"
Jiang Teng:...Jiang Chao:...They suspect that their father and second uncle are driving, and they have solid evidence. What should they do? Should they call the police?
"Nonsense, you old gangster, what are you talking about in front of children?"
Jiang's mother's face suddenly turned red, and she kicked Jiang's father under the table angrily.
Father Jiang shrank his feet and glanced at his nephew and son.
The two brothers put down their chopsticks very wisely and ran away.
"Okay, okay, I was wrong, don't kick me, don't kick me, your old bones will almost fall apart after you kick them."
As soon as the children left, Father Jiang put down his old face and coaxed his wife.
"I didn't even mention you."
Jiang's mother complained.
Father Jiang immediately stretched out his legs to kick her.
Jiang's mother cruelly kicked his old leg. It was soft and didn't hurt at all, but Jiang's father still let out an exaggerated ouch, which made Jiang's mother roll her eyes at him.
The two peeking bachelors suffered a critical hit of 10,000 points and went upstairs in depression.
"The relationship between the second uncle and the second aunt is still as good as ever."
Jiang Chao said with envy.
"Fortunately, I'm not at home very much, otherwise I would have been stuffed to death if I was stuffed with dog food every day."
Jiang Teng said happily.
Jiang Chao punched him: "I don't know how lucky I am when I'm blessed. You go to my house and you want to see my father and mother doing nothing but nothing. They have respected each other all their lives, and I feel embarrassed just looking at them."
Jiang Chao's parents were not in a free love relationship. They were married to a military businessman. They had been together for most of their lives, and they were still a husband and wife who respected each other like guests and raised eyebrows. They had never had a bad temper like the second uncle and second aunt.
He had seen his parents like this since he was a child, and he had a psychological shadow on marriage from the bottom of his heart. If he was asked to marry a wife who respected him for the rest of his life, he would rather stay single for the rest of his life.
"There are countless couples in this world, and there are countless patterns of mutual support. In your eyes, the uncle and the eldest aunt are a married couple without feelings, but maybe in their eyes, each other has long been the most important person in their lives.
.”
Jiang Teng patted his eldest brother on the shoulder and comforted him not to boycott marriage because of his parents.
Jiang Chao laughed: "Wait until you get married before you teach me. A single guy still says to me, are you trying to make a fool of yourself with fifty steps?"
Jiang Teng: ...like a god, he laughs at fifty steps and laughs at a hundred steps. What's wrong today? He likes to use idioms.
