Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 993 Revealing the Truth, "This is my uncle, the Medical Sage of the Capital!" (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

Actually, Fang Yan originally intended to keep this a secret from his parents. But now that his father-in-law had asked, and it involved his friends from Fudan University, Fang Yan felt there was no need to hide it anymore.

He then told his father-in-law the whole story.

After hearing the story, the father-in-law seemed slightly surprised and pondered for a moment before saying:
“I have known him for many years and I do not believe he would do such a thing.”

Fang Yan picked up the conversation:

"I also think there must be some misunderstanding here. It's good to investigate and clarify the situation."

The father-in-law nodded:

"A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear. Once the investigation results are out, the misunderstanding will naturally be cleared up."

He paused, then asked:
Do your parents know about this?

Shaking his head in dialect:

"I haven't told them yet, because I'm afraid they'll worry. Besides, my second sister's trip to Japan has been adjusted, so telling them would only make them more anxious."

The father-in-law, however, said seriously:
I think we should tell them.

"Why?" Fang Yan asked, puzzled.

“This is no small matter. Now that it has been resolved smoothly, it’s better to let the family know what happened.” The father-in-law said seriously, “Firstly, so they know what’s going on, and secondly, it can serve as a reminder to the whole family so that they don’t cause trouble in the future with their words and actions. Think about it, there are many people in the family, how can you take care of them all the time? It’s better to keep everyone on guard.”

After thinking about it for a while, Fang Yan felt that what he said made sense.

If family members are unprepared, it is indeed easy to overlook something.

He nodded and said to his father-in-law:
“You’re right, we’ll do it your way. I’ll go tell them now and give the whole family a heads-up.”

The father-in-law waved his hand and said:

"There's no need to go now. Let's go later, after you've had dinner at Lao Mo's and come back tonight."

Fang Yan glanced at the busy crowd and nodded in agreement.

The father-in-law then went on to talk about his friend. The friend's name was Tang Zheng, and his connection with the father-in-law began with his wife.

Tang Zheng's wife and mother-in-law were childhood friends, which is how the two met.

In the early years, Tang Zheng's mother-in-law often went to Shanghai for study or business trips and almost always stayed at his house. When Tang Zheng's family came to Beijing for meetings, they also always stayed at his father-in-law's house. The two families had a very close relationship.

Based on his father-in-law's understanding of Tang Zheng, he firmly believed that his old friend could never have any connection with the Japanese, and that this matter must be a misunderstanding.

The main reason was that after the Japanese invited Tang Zheng, he remembered that his father-in-law had entrusted him with taking care of Fang Ning, so he wanted to take Fang Ning with him to Japan out of good intentions, but he did not expect to inadvertently cross the line.

Everything was just a series of coincidences.

Logically, this is indeed a possibility, but there are still some inconsistencies in the explanation.

My second sister, Fang Ning, has only been enrolled for a short time and has not yet completed many basic courses, so she is far from reaching the level required for international exchange in the conventional sense.

If Tang Zheng took her there out of "care," then this "care" seems too eager, even exceeding the scope of normal assistance.

According to the logic of the investigation, this anomaly would inevitably be noticed. In the conventional screening criteria for academic exchanges, freshmen are usually not qualified to participate in international projects. Whether there are other motives behind Tang Zheng's "good intentions" still needs further verification.

Fang Yan naturally hoped that Tang Zheng was just being overly concerned and wanted to broaden his sister's horizons. After all, if the matter involved deeper secrets, his father-in-law and mother-in-law would inevitably be saddened by the shadow cast over their long-standing friendship.

Fang Yan was also having a bit of a headache right now. He really hoped that nothing bad would happen, both to protect his family ties and to uphold the goodwill of humanity.

However, the father-in-law was a clever man and quickly saw through Fang Yan's thoughts, so he took the initiative to speak:
"You don't need to worry. If my friend really has a problem, I will never blame you for it. First, we are family; second, if he really has ulterior motives, he would be on the opposite side of us, or even plotting against me..."

At this point, he sighed and slowly said, "Then we can only let the law punish him."

After the father-in-law expressed his opinion, he said in dialect:

"I still hope it's all a misunderstanding."

The father-in-law nodded; after all, they had been friends for so many years.

Next, the father-in-law told the mother-in-law what had happened. The mother-in-law, however, was much calmer than her father-in-law. She said, "Just wait for the investigation results. I believe they're innocent. What's the rush?"
The father-in-law looked so worried, as if he had already discovered a problem.

The father-in-law was both amused and exasperated.

It has to be said that the mother-in-law is much more open-minded than the father-in-law in this regard.

It doesn't cause any internal conflict.

……

It was 5:30 in a flash. Fang Yan said goodbye to her family and then prepared to go to Lao Mo's place for their appointment.

There's still plenty of food left over from lunch; we can just reheat it and eat it again in the evening.

Fangyan doesn't have to worry about things at home anymore.

Next, Fang Yan got into the car at Xiehe Hospital and drove towards the Moscow Restaurant.

It's about ten kilometers from the entrance of Xiehe Hospital to Lao Mo. There were a lot of cars on the weekend, and it took Fang Yan more than twenty minutes to get there.

After parking the car in a nearby spot, Fang Yan checked his watch and realized it was almost six o'clock.

He quickly walked towards Old Mo.

"Fang! Over here!" Anna was the first to see Fang Yan and waved to him.

A beautiful, tall young European woman stood at the entrance of the Motel and waved to the street in Chinese, immediately attracting the attention of many people. Then, her friends also greeted her in their dialect.

Only then did everyone realize that they were actually greeting a young Chinese man.

Knowing that this was a gathering place for children of military personnel, the crowd wasn't so surprised.

Then Fang Yan was invited into Old Mo's house by Hosseini and the others.

“Let’s go, we’ve booked a private room here! The dishes are all served, just waiting for you to arrive,” Hossué said to Fang Yan.

Fang Yan said to them:

"I was planning to come earlier, but something came up at home and I was delayed. I'm really sorry."

Anna flicked her watch and said:

"It's not even six o'clock yet, no need to apologize."

Just as everyone was about to enter the private room, someone in the lobby suddenly called out to Fang Yan:

"Uncle Fang!"

At first, I thought the dialect was being called out to someone.

Then there were several more sounds:
"Uncle Fang!"

"Uncle Fang! Uncle Fang! Over here!"

Fang Yan then noticed that there were actually several of his acquaintances in the hall.

They were friends of his Russian apprentice; he'd met them once before, and he'd even taught them how to fight with chili powder. (See Chapter 287)
"Chen Yu, Li Jun, Zhang Haiyang, Fang Weiguo!" Fang Yan greeted them.

There were about forty of them sitting at a long table, and the scene looked like the scene in "In the Heat of the Sun" where two groups of people were eating together after a fight.

The only difference is that the leader of the scoundrels has become their boss, Chen Yu.

Chen Yu pointed to the dialect to the others and said with a proud look:

"This is my uncle, my brother Anton's master, the medical sage of the capital!"

PS: I got another 100 monthly votes, so after finishing this chapter, I still owe everyone 80000 words.

There will be more this afternoon.
