After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 320, Episode 0345: As expected of the old man.

After having dinner with the old man, the grandfather and grandson took a car to the house in Yong'an Lane.

Old Chen and the others had just finished eating and were in the garden inside the second courtyard. Some were taking a walk, some were drinking tea, some were playing chess, and some were watching the game and chatting.

They're all quite old, and as people get older, their physical functions decline, so hearing loss and other problems are normal.

Another normal phenomenon caused by hearing loss is that one's voice will unconsciously become louder.

Even before I entered the hospital, I could already hear them chatting, shouting at each other.

Old Liu: "You should have placed your white piece here, but why did you place it there? Look, look, it got captured!"

Old Zheng: "Don't you understand the principle of 'not speaking while watching chess'? Shut up."

Old Liu: "I didn't want to be so tasteless, but you forced me to. Your cooking is so bad it's unbearable to watch. Even a chicken could jump up and peck at a handful of rice and cook it better than this."

Old Zheng: "You old geezer, you were always so cheeky when you were young. I thought you would be more restrained as you got older, but I didn't expect you to become even more shameless as you get older."

Old Liu retorted just as bluntly, "We're all old, who would feel bad if we weren't a little more comfortable? Unlike you, Old Zheng, you're such a fool. You're already this old, and you're still afraid of this and that. Can you take your reputation to the grave? Will it be reincarnated with you, or will it make you a celestial being with boundless merit?"

The Zheng family was a scholarly family with many rules and regulations. It is said that they still abide by the clan rules today. Although Old Master Zheng is only a member of a collateral branch, he has learned as much as he should and has been required to abide by all the rules.

Having lived most of his life, his words and actions had become a habit. However, spending a lot of time with this group of unreliable old men had changed him somewhat, but in the eyes of others, he was still considered old-fashioned.

Especially Old Liu, who never cared about martial ethics, would seize any opportunity to tease him, and their bickering had become a regular occurrence.

Old Zheng was so angry he was panting, "You brute!"

Old Hua, who had been watching the drama unfold for a while, saw that the two were about to start arguing again, so he suppressed his smile and quickly stepped in to act as a peacemaker.

He pushed the two men, whose heads were almost touching, apart and stood in front of Old Liu. He then said to Old Zheng with a smile, "Old Liu is just like that. He's born to be slapped. Old Zheng, don't you know him? There's no need to get angry with him. It'll only hurt your liver and lungs."

You can't resort to violence, one a fighter and the other a scholar; Old Liu can't withstand a punch from Old Zheng.

Old Liu was very practical and quick to learn. He poked his head out and was about to apologize when he saw the grandfather and grandson coming towards him.

Savior!
Don't let Old Zheng's old age fool you; he's been fighting on the battlefield for decades. Even now, he still practices boxing every morning without fail, rain or shine. His fists, as big as sandbags, are still hard as ever. Give him a good whack and he'll be able to chat with his great-grandmother for months.

"Xi girl, hello old chief."

He jumped up and shouted, his tone as cheerful as if he had seen his own parents.

His call drew the attention of all the elderly people, and when they saw Old Master Leng, they all hurriedly greeted him as well.

"Hello, old chief!"

The old man chuckled and said, "Everything is fine, everything is fine. How are you all doing here? Is there anything you're not used to? If you need anything, just let Xiao Xu and the others know."

"Thank you for your concern, old commander. I'm doing well and don't need anything."

The elderly people all seemed a little uneasy.

Well, the man in front of them is not only their beloved old leader, but also Xi's grandfather. This grandfather doesn't need Xi to support him in his old age, but these outsiders are shamelessly clinging to Xi. Doesn't that make them feel even more embarrassed?

The old man seemed oblivious to their discomfort and inquired about their lives in a natural and concerned tone.

The old man was very friendly and didn't seem to mind at all. Gradually, everyone relaxed. They were all great figures in their respective fields and had seen all kinds of situations. For example, Elder Zheng and Elder Hua had slammed their fists on the table with the First and Second Elders when they were young and impetuous.

The atmosphere quickly became harmonious, and the two sat around in the corridor chatting happily. The grandfather and grandson even had a late-night snack with the elderly people before leaving.

On the way back, Lin Yuexi, who was sitting in the back seat with the old man, secretly glanced at him several times. Her little expression, full of undisguised struggle, made the old man's eyes ache.

"Ask whatever you want to ask?"

"Grandpa, didn't you come to see Old Wang?"

She had been watching closely all night, and the old man and Lao Wang hadn't even exchanged a few words. And that was it?

“Grandpa already knows the result, so there’s no need to go to him separately. It will only make him worry more.”

The old man has always been serious about teaching his granddaughter, Lin Yuexi.

“Grandpa was going to find Wang Decai because he was worried that Wang would be unwilling to stay on the mainland because he harbored resentment. Now that Grandpa knows the outcome, he will not go.”

ha?
How did you figure that out?
It can only be said that Lin Yuexi is still too young and lacks experience. Compared with the old man who has been in a high position for many years, she is still far from being able to judge people.

“Wang Decai has faith in his heart. A person like him would not betray his faith.”

Even if the world has been unfair to him, he will still hold fast to his beliefs.

He was blinded by his own perspective. He only saw that Wang Decai had once been the president of the Chamber of Commerce, living a life of wealth and even luxury in a place where all sorts of people mingled. Although he had helped our team, he had never truly joined the team, so he harbored distrust towards him.

Seeing that Lin Yuexi still didn't understand, the old man pointed to his eyes: "Look at his eyes. Wang Decai's eyes are very clear and honest. When he said the words 'trust the country,' his tone was sincere from the bottom of his heart."

Lin Yuexi: "..."

What she really wanted to ask was, how did the old man figure it out?
The old man tapped her forehead and chuckled, “These are skills you can’t acquire overnight. They come from experience. The more people you meet and the more things you encounter, the more all sorts of monsters and demons you’ll see. Then your eyes will become like discerning eyes.”

Goodness, he even praised himself while teaching her; no wonder he's an old man.

Perhaps unable to bear the old man's sudden smugness, Lin Yuexi launched a belated act of rebellion.

He immediately retorted without any politeness, "Then why didn't you notice anything wrong with that person?"

The old man was so angry he laughed, and flicked the head off the other man. "Your grandpa has been through a lot, but that guy must have been through just as much!"

It's so good that my dear grandson is healthy again; he feels really good to touch.

The old man couldn't resist flicking it again.

Lin Yuexi quickly covered her forehead: "Grandpa, this isn't a watermelon. What if I go crazy? Be careful Grandpa Zhou doesn't chase after you and beat you up."

This drafty cotton-padded jacket...

Don't let the Second Elder's refined and handsome appearance fool you; he's quite skilled in martial arts. He trained in martial arts when he was young, and he's actually quite capable of taking action against these old guys in private.

The old man both loved and feared the Second Elder.

Lin Yuexi knew this perfectly well, and her threats were always effective, making the old man so angry that he looked up and ruffled her long hair into a bird's nest.

You've really improved, haven't you? You even dare to threaten me. He didn't teach you that!

It must be that Lao Feng and his ilk have corrupted his precious grandson.

Inside the Spark Base, Old Feng, who was innocently implicated, sneezed loudly.
