Chapter 548 Brother, what exactly do you do?
Chapter 548 Brother, what exactly do you do?
"You mean, Anyang too...?"
unfortunately,
His voice was simply drowned out by Yang Hong, who was getting a bit carried away by the alcohol.
"Dad, shall I tell you then?"
"Actually, this matter is a little secret to those outside."
"But the brothers in Anyang are our own people, there's nothing to hide."
Talking,
Yang Hong moved his chair closer to An Yang.
"Brother Anyang, you must have heard about the idea of stepping down but not relinquishing power, right?"
An Yang nodded.
Shinkai has one such person, but he was rehired.
To be fair, while it wasn't exactly abdication, it was somewhere in between.
"I've heard of it."
"Yes, that's my dad."
what?
Leopard was completely stunned.
"What do you mean? It means that although the old man has retired, he still has..."
Yang Hong laughed heartily.
"That's right. Although he's retired, many things still ultimately require this old man to make the final decision."
"Take this operation in Fuyang as an example. The order came down from above, but as you know, it was an operation conducted outside the local jurisdiction, so there were bound to be many dissenting voices."
"Finally, it was the old man who stepped in and silenced all the opposition with a single sentence."
"That's how I was able to get Lao Duan to lead the team to Fuyang."
I rely on,
Leopard's eyes widened.
"Old man, you're amazing."
Hi,
Yang Yingsen, however, didn't seem to be surprised at all.
He slapped Yang Hong on the head.
"After all that rambling, is that all it is?"
"What's wrong? Just because I'm retired and at home, does that mean I can't participate in some important things?"
"The only reason I still have this much power is because you people behind me are all useless."
"If you guys were really capable, would the higher-ups have let an old man like me mess around like this?"
These words made Yang Hong feel somewhat ashamed.
"Yes, yes, we are still not up to the task."
But Yang Yingsen understood very well that Yang Hong had already tried his best.
There are other reasons why someone might be deemed unfit for such a heavy responsibility.
This may be the reason why this retired old man still holds considerable power.
After listening to Yang Hong's "secret,"
An Yang's face showed little surprise; instead, it remained calm and composed.
"I suspect that the reason the old man is still holding onto so much power is because things are complicated here."
"If all power were handed over to those people, I'm afraid..."
Yang Yingsen nodded and continued what An Yang hadn't finished saying.
"I'm afraid this place has already turned upside down."
At this point, the atmosphere unconsciously became somewhat dull.
Yang Yingsen also looked up and gazed at Anyang once more.
"Anyang."
"You said it, sir."
"Are you from Shinkai?"
For a moment, Anyang didn't know how to answer this question.
He gave a wry smile and shook his head.
"Although I'm from Xinhai, I was born here."
"But if I were a local, I would say I've lived here for seventeen years."
Seventeen!
It's unclear whether this number is too sensitive, or whether Yang Yingsen knows something about it.
His eyes flashed.
"Seventeen years? Then you..."
Perhaps the topic that followed was too heavy, so Yang Yingsen didn't ask directly.
but,
An Yang replied with a smile:
"Sir, are you asking if I know someone?"
"right!"
Yang Yingsen nodded immediately.
this moment,
Everyone at the table was in a daze.
Tang Chen's chopsticks, which he had placed near his mouth, remained motionless.
His eyes were fixed intently on everyone's expression, without blinking.
She looked as if she was afraid of missing something.
Even Yang Hong frowned, not wanting to miss a single detail.
"Your surname is An, and his...surname is also An!"
Finally, Yang Yingsen brought it up!
"hehe,"
With a laugh from Anyang, tinged with a hint of nostalgia,
He... nodded!
"An Hongtao, my father."
With a clang!
The wine glass in Yang Hong's hand fell to the ground with a thud!
The chopsticks that Tang Chen was biting broke in two!
Even Yang Yingsen, a robust old man, began to tremble uncontrollably!
"You...you're Hongtao's son?!"
"Yes."
Everything fits together!
That makes sense!
For a long time, no one spoke.
Until a snap,
Yang Yingsen slapped his thigh hard!
"good!"
"OK!"
No one knew what he meant by those two "hellos".
but,
Yang Hong's reddened eyes seemed to convey something even more clearly!
"Brothers from Anyang!"
"Now I finally understand why you said there could only be one ending!"
Seeing that everyone was holding back an invisible anger,
Leopard leaned back slightly.
He leaned close to Tang Chen's ear and whispered:
"Why do I have this feeling... that both of them seem to know Master An?"
Tang Chen didn't speak.
Instead, he hurriedly picked up the broken chopsticks from the ground.
"Yes, they do know each other."
What the hell?
You really know him?
Brother Leopard always knew that the name "Master An" had a huge influence.
But Xinhai is separated from here by thousands of mountains and rivers.
How could they know that?
Then, Tang Chen's words completely answered Brother Leopard's doubts.
"Uncle An is my grandfather's most...most prized apprentice!"
"For so many years, he has refused to relinquish his power, not because the successors are not capable."
"But...but he wanted to avenge Uncle An himself!"
Simple and unadorned words,
It made Leopard's eyes turn red instantly!
How could one not be moved by a man who is over seventy years old!
Even at his current age, he still thinks about helping An Hongtao...
Hey!
"Old man,"
An Yang raised his glass and stood up, then bent slightly.
"Thank you on behalf of my dad."
Clang,
Two cups gently clinked together.
The old man and the young man both drank it down in one gulp!
I don't know if it's because the alcohol is too strong when it hits my throat.
In short, both of them unconsciously wiped the corners of their eyes.
"Hahaha,"
As Yang Yingsen laughed, the atmosphere of grief gradually dissipated.
"I was wondering why I felt strangely familiar with you when I saw you earlier."
"picture!"
"Your looks, your temper, even your personality are three-tenths like your father's!"
Then,
Yang Hong's offhand remark stunned everyone at the table!
"It's similar, but Anyang has already surpassed the heights that Hongtao never reached in his entire life!"
"Dad, you don't know, when those leaders gave the order, it was just five big words."
"Unconditional cooperation!"
"They usually act all high and mighty, but when they actually meet someone in a higher position, they're not without fear, hahaha..."
As he laughed,
Yang Hong stopped laughing.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, he instinctively covered his mouth.
"Um...did I say something wrong?"
Tang Chen blinked.
"Dad, you just said... Officer An's position is higher than... your superiors?!"
