Chapter 1253 Forced to flee overseas
After a long while, Da Bao finally got back into the car. The old man was still in the same position as when Da Bao got in. Da Bao held the old man's hand, and the two of them remained silent.
The car quietly drove out of Zhonghai and headed towards the military compound.
The father and son remained silent for a long time before the old man spoke in a hoarse voice.
"Can't it be changed?"
Dabao nodded.
"Now is a critical moment. Everyone needs to unite and get through this difficult time together, so... I have no choice but to leave."
Da Bao recalled what the boss had just told him.
"Child, Zuo Wenbin was sent out by us. This is top secret. No more than three people in the whole country know this secret. I never expected that they would use this to make a fuss. This is something we will not allow."
I know about what you did in Macau and Hong Kong. That's what a young man should do—passionate and impulsive. If it weren't for those events in Macau and Hong Kong, you probably would have been transferred back to Beijing and put on hold long ago. Many people have submitted reports questioning your background because your every move is completely unlike that of a twenty-year-old.
Da Bao broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this. He had made no attempt to conceal his actions, never expecting that he had already aroused suspicion.
"But it doesn't matter. You're quite capable, kid. Originally, I wanted to give you a warning this time, and I agreed to that. As the saying goes, jade is not made into a gem without being carved. Only by growing up through hardship and setbacks can one cope with everything."
But they dug up information about the Zuo family, so things couldn't continue. That's why I sent Wenping to pick you up. There are two things I wanted to discuss with you.
First, my child, never use the interests of the country as a bargaining chip. The country does not belong to you or me, but to everyone. Only through our joint efforts and contributions can we make the country prosperous and strong.
Secondly, regarding this matter, we will deal with a number of people, but we must know when to stop, because the country cannot and should not be in chaos. I think you understand what I mean.
National affairs are just like daily life; it's impossible to treat everyone perfectly equally. So, child, this time you have to compromise. You should take Mingyue with you when you go abroad.
There are many voices opposing you domestically right now, and only if you go abroad for a while can they be quelled. This can be considered a small punishment for your act of illegally distributing grain.
Da Bao felt extremely wronged. He never expected that privately dividing the grain would cause such a big trouble. What he didn't know was that after he left, rumors spread everywhere, and Xiao Chen Village was the first to be affected.
The main reason was that Xiaochenzhuang received a batch of grain, while other villages did not. So people from five or six surrounding villages organized themselves and stormed into Xiaochenzhuang. Of course, the people of Xiaochenzhuang could not let them take the grain. As a result, by the time the local commune and government sent people to the scene, one person was dead and three were injured.
Although several ringleaders were executed, the losses and impact have already been significant. Now, no one says that Da Bao is kind and couldn't bear to see the villagers starve to death. Everyone says that Da Bao is arrogant and domineering, ruthless and heartless, never considers the big picture, and only has his eyes on one village or one piece of land.
Da Bao remained silent the entire way. He was filled with grievances, with nowhere to confide in, but there was nothing he could do. After all, people have to live in the real world, and it's impossible not to care about what others say...
……
Three days later, Da Bao boarded a cargo ship in Tianjin. Watching the land recede into the distance, he hugged Zuo Mingyue tightly, then looked back at Lu Xiu'e holding Nuan Nuan, and Qin Qingyou and Uncle Qing holding Niu Niu's hand.
Da Bao was ordered to go overseas, and Zuo Mingyue and Nuan Nuan were determined to go with him. Niu Niu, like a little adult, seemed to have carried over from her past life. She was determined to go with her brother, even if it meant enduring hardship.
Her son, daughter-in-law, granddaughter, and daughter were all leaving, but Lu Xiu'e hesitated. She wanted to go with them, but she was worried that Qin Qingyou would miss Da Bao's grandparents, so she was in a dilemma.
Unexpectedly, Qin Qingyou didn't even hesitate this time. He took his whole family back to the commune that very day. Qin Qingyou pulled Da Bao to kneel before the old man and woman, and the two of them kowtowed three times.
Qin Qingyou was in tears, hugging the old man and woman, who both wept bitterly. The old man and woman, however, were very strong; upon hearing about their grandson's situation, they didn't hesitate to let their son accompany him in death.
Qin Qingyou kowtowed to his two younger brothers again, begging them to take good care of their parents for him. The three brothers hugged each other and wept bitterly, knowing that they didn't know when they would be able to return after leaving, and that they might never see each other again in their lives.
Da Bao pulled his two uncles outside. He filled the cellar under the house with enough grain to feed the entire Qin family for ten years. He then took out all the money he had on him, about 70,000 yuan, and gave it all to his two uncles, instructing them to take good care of the two elderly people.
The family spent a day in the commune before returning to the military compound. There was a little incident: Wenwen insisted on going with her brother, but seeing the reluctance on her brother's and his wife's faces, Da Bao could only persuade Wenwen for two hours to stay home and help take care of her grandparents.
Wenwen is a smart and filial child. After hearing what her brother said, she could only wipe away her tears and agree.
On the day he left, Da Bao didn't let his family see him off. He drove his Jeep to Tianjin with his family. This time, he didn't try to hide it. In front of his parents and Uncle Qing, he put the Jeep into his spatial storage.
His sudden outburst nearly terrified Lu Xiu'e and Qin Qingyou, but Uncle Qing wasn't overly surprised. Da Bao knew that back in Hong Kong, Little Tiger and White Wolf's frequent disappearances had already aroused Uncle Qing's suspicion. Besides, with Zuo Mingyue and the others' intelligence and life experience, what could possibly escape the notice of an old fox like Uncle Qing?
After they were all taken into Da Bao's space, Lu Xiu'e and Qin Qingyou slowly accepted the reality that their son was a god.
If it weren't for the need to show up on the ship, Da Bao really wanted to put them all into his spatial storage and release them only when they reached the other side of the ocean.
But that won't do. Those who persecuted Da Bao insisted on watching Da Bao and his family board the ship, and even sent people on board to keep an eye on them. Only when they were out of the open sea would these people return on the escort ship.
Da Bao left, and he didn't know what happened afterward, but the capital had already been in turmoil. Liu Da Gui was sent to the Western Regions for defense, and then one night, he was captured by several soldiers and never heard from again.
The day after Da Bao left, Zhou Quanjie was relieved of all his posts and sent back to his hometown to become an old man farming.
Wei Wenxian was transferred to a border defense regiment in Heilongjiang as deputy commander, and never returned to Beijing in his lifetime.
Duan Huaiwen was found to have abused his power for personal gain and accepted bribes. He was dismissed from all his posts and sent to a labor camp in Northwest China.
As for Li Yumin and Li Yutang, no one paid any attention to such insignificant people, and they escaped this disaster.
