The life of Lao Liu since 1944

Chapter 208 A Sudden and Unexpected Mission

Seeing this, Hou Jie was too lazy to talk any more. Since the matter had been resolved, he didn't want to argue any further. So he waved his hand to signal the other party to leave.

Seeing this, Xu Fugui was as if he had been pardoned. He hurriedly took his son to thank Hou Jie profusely and then left in a hurry. Seeing their hasty appearance, it seemed that they were afraid that Hou Jie would suddenly change his mind and pursue the matter again.

Hou Jie looked at their receding backs, secretly lamenting the fickleness of the world.

Without these annoying guys, and after having a hearty breakfast, godmother finally had the mind to think about other issues.

Her eyes, which were already very sharp and full of care, were now fixed firmly on Hou Jie, as if she wanted to see through his appearance to his inner depths.

Then, the godmother could not wait to question Hou Jie about the secrets behind his abnormal behavior last night: "Chunsheng, tell me the truth, who are you? Although your godmother is a little stupid, she is not a fool. Don't try to fool me. Could it be that you have something important that you have been hiding from me?"

As the godmother spoke, she couldn't help but gently poke Hou Jie's forehead with her finger, and her tone revealed an emotion that was both anxious and confused.

Hou Jie knew very well that his godmother cared for him in every possible way, but the current situation made it difficult for him to cope with it.

He could clearly feel that the atmosphere around him suddenly became solemn, and even the air seemed to freeze. But even so, Hou Jie still firmly held on to his bottom line and did not intend to tell his godmother all the truth at this moment.

After all, the godmother was just an ordinary housewife, and even if she knew the truth, it would probably be of no use. So after a brief thought, Hou Jie decided to temporarily confess some relatively simple information to the godmother.

"Godmother, I really don't have any special identity. Although I used to be a rich young master, I lost everything. Now I am just an ordinary scrap collector, living on my salary."

Hou Jie tried his best to make his tone sound sincere and natural. His words revealed a bit of helplessness, mixed with a subtle concealment.

After hearing this, the godmother was skeptical and always felt that this boy was not telling her the truth.

"Why? There was such a big commotion last night. As soon as I mentioned that you were in trouble, seven or eight big men came over from next door. You don't know how scary that scene was. They rushed you to the hospital, which scared me a lot." There was lingering fear and confusion in my godmother's words.

Hou Jie keenly caught the fear and doubt revealed in his godmother's words, but he just smiled slightly, thinking in his heart that the people his godmother mentioned should be Wu Laoqi's gang, so he didn't take it too seriously.

"Oh, you mean them! They are my good brothers who have risked their lives for me, my close friends. They often hang out with me on weekdays. As soon as they heard that something was wrong with me, they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and they rushed to help me without stopping!"

Hou Jie tried his best to make his explanation seem both reasonable and sincere.

However, the godmother seemed to still be skeptical about Hou Jie's words.

Her eyes were as sharp as a knife, staring into Hou Jie's eyes, and she pressed on, "Is that true? Are you sure you're not hiding anything from me?"

Facing his godmother's increasingly urgent questioning, Hou Jie quickly nodded and replied: "Absolutely true, how dare I lie to you!"

Seeing this, the confusion on my godmother's face did not subside at all, but became even more intense. She kept asking, "If that's the case, why did so many soldiers suddenly appear in our yard to arrest people? Also, I clearly remember that they took you to the hospital in a car. Could it be that your family has a very deep background and powerful forces?"

Hou Jie shook his head vigorously and denied it again firmly and decisively, fearing that his donation of gold would be made public.

So he pretended to be calm and continued to make up lies, saying: "I really don't know anything about the specific situation!"

After saying this, he paused for a moment and fell into deep thought, thinking that it was Li Gui who was helping him secretly.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he was struck by lightning, and he clapped his hands together, making a crisp and loud sound.

This action was like a sudden burst of inspiration, which instantly gave him a clue to make up a lie.

Although there is some truth in what he said, there is also a lot of unbelievable stuff hidden in it.

"One day two years ago, my father mentioned something unintentionally. According to his description, my uncle whom I had not seen for a long time was actually an important government official. Alas... However, it is heartbreaking that my two cousins ​​died heroically in the war and sacrificed their lives for the country, which cut off the incense of my uncle's family. My father was just talking casually at the time, claiming that my uncle earnestly hoped that I would adopt my two sons to him in order to continue the family bloodline."

"At first, I thought it was just a joke. After all, I never even saw my uncle from beginning to end. So I didn't take it seriously. I thought, what does it have to do with me?"

However, when he noticed the obvious suspicion and distrust in his godmother's eyes, Hou Jie felt flustered.

In desperation, he had to hurriedly call the soldier standing guard at the door and interrogate him in detail.

As a result, the lie became a fact, leaving Hou Jie standing there in shock, like a fool, and finally muttering to himself:

"That's impossible! What hole did he jump out of? Do I really have an uncle and give him two sons?"

Hou Jie confirmed it with the soldier again and again, and admitted the fact, feeling helpless but also complaining;

"Oh! If I had known this relationship would happen, I wouldn't have struggled so hard! I would have done nothing but give birth to a baby."

At this time, the doctors and nurses who returned to the house witnessed the occurrence and process of this incident.

Gradually, they became interested, and everyone's face revealed a strong gossipy expression and irrepressible curiosity.

They all gathered together spontaneously, moving gently and cautiously, as if they were afraid of making any sound, and slowly pricked up their ears, as if they were afraid of missing even the slightest bit of gossip.
