Volume 1: The Empire Awakens Chapter 47: Father-Son Relationship (Part 1)
When the plane landed at Kadena Airport, Hao Dongjue and Chang Jianxin both rushed over.
The two are still second lieutenants, so naturally they couldn't help but congratulate each other after meeting.
It can be seen from the expressions of both of them that they are very envious of Tan Renhao for being able to become captain so quickly.
However, the feelings between good friends soon diluted everything, and Tan Renhao naturally agreed to treat the two of them to a meal at the best hotel in Songjiang.
"By the way, a middle-aged man came a few days ago and said he was your father."
While driving, Hao Dongjue was chatting with Tan Renhao next to him.
"My dad!"
Tan Renhao immediately opened his mouth in surprise.
Ever since he and Lei Shaoqing ran away from home and entered the Imperial Naval Academy, he has had no contact with his father. The few remittances he received were secretly his father's knowledge.
"Yes, he's about forty-five years old, very similar to you. Otherwise, we wouldn't have brought him to your dormitory!"
"Living in my dorm now?"
Tan Renhao was in a big trouble now.
"Why, is there a problem?"
Hao Dongjue looked at Tan Renhao in confusion, "Your father is a good man. After knowing that Lao Chang and I are your colleagues, he gave each of us a bag of local specialties. In addition, he also helped us wash clothes these days. We are very embarrassed. How can we let the old man work so hard?"
Tan Renhao touched his forehead and felt very distressed.
He knew very well why his father suddenly came to the army after more than three years of no contact. Wasn't it because of the incident of him running away from home?
"But it seems that you prefer women, right?"
Hao Dongjue glanced at Tan Renhao.
Tan Renhao glanced at his colleague next to him.
"Dong Jue, I'm not in the mood to joke with you right now."
"I'm not kidding you."
Hao Dongjue turned the car onto the road to the fleet base. "A woman came to see you yesterday. She seemed to be a nurse. To be honest, you have a good eye. That girl is quite pretty..."
"Do you know who she is?"
This time, Tan Renhao knew who was looking for him without asking.
"who?"
Hao Dongjue turned his head and glanced at Tan Renhao.
"She is Commander Liao's daughter, and you said she is a chick?"
Tan Renhao immediately sneered, "It seems that you won't be promoted in the next three years. Don't blame me for disregarding our brotherly feelings. You are just asking for trouble!"
"What!"
Hao Dongjue almost drove the car into the ditch beside the road. "You said she is Commander Liao's daughter?"
"Do you think I'm kidding?"
Tan Renhao really wanted to teach Hao Dongjue a lesson, "Old Chang, you heard this guy say that Miss Liao Yingyu is a girl, should we…"
Chang Jianxin smiled in a "simple and honest" way.
"Hey, you can't be so inhumane!"
Hao Dongjue became anxious, "We are brothers in the same trench, you can't betray me!"
"Okay, we won't betray you!"
Tan Renhao smiled and patted the driver's shoulder. "But you have to show some sincerity, Lao Chang, don't you think so?"
Chang Jianxin nodded quickly and said, "I heard there's a famous French restaurant on Binjiang Road in Songjiang. What's its name?"
"'Bona Bar Restaurant'!"
Tan Renhao answered this question which was not a question.
"Yes, that restaurant!"
Chang Jianxin nodded vigorously.
"Well, since we are brothers, we will not embarrass you."
Tan Renhao smiled and put his hand on Hao Dongjue's shoulder, "How about inviting us to the 'Bona Bar Restaurant' for a meal and letting this matter go?"
"You want my three years' allowance?"
Hao Dongjue screamed immediately.
"But since you don't want to do this, we have no choice but to cut off our arm!"
Tan Renhao acted as if he was very sorry, "Besides, don't even think about apologizing to Miss Liao. She won't go to another restaurant."
"You mean Miss ?"
Hao Dongjue's attitude immediately changed drastically.
"What? You think we want to kill you?"
Tan Renhao pursed his lips and shook his head, "You really don't treat us as brothers. How could we treat you like this? Since you want to show your sincerity, you should at least apologize to Miss Liao and create a better atmosphere. I believe that Miss Liao will not take your words to heart, right?"
Hao Dongjue nodded immediately.
"Okay, let's do it. I accept it. When?"
Tan Renhao also laughed.
"I'll let you know when the time comes. Just prepare the tickets. You'll have to take your share anyway. Old Chang, you've got to be ready when the time comes."
"Don't worry, I won't eat for three days!"
Hearing what Chang Jianxin said, Hao Dongjue rolled his eyes and almost drove off the road again.
It seems that these two bad friends are going to make him bleed heavily.
After returning to the base, Tan Renhao first went to report to Colonel Ji Xiaobin.
He is still affiliated with Colonel Ji Xiaobin's combat staff and is also Colonel Ji Xiaobin's subordinate, so he only needs to report to Colonel Ji Xiaobin.
Because it was almost evening, Tan Renhao did not stay in the headquarters for long. After Du Xing drove over, he went back to the dormitory.
Before the car reached the dormitory, Tan Renhao saw the familiar figure.
When he was a child, he always thought that figure was the tallest in the world, like a mountain.
When he was in middle school, he thought that figure was the most strict thing in the world and always restricted his freedom.
Before joining the army, he thought that figure was the most arrogant and unreasonable and almost ruined his life.
And now, in Tan Renhao's eyes, that back figure looked the oldest, as if ten years had passed.
Over the past three years, my father has aged a lot.
Hearing the sound of the jeep, Tan Jingkang turned around.
When Tan Renhao saw his father's white hair all over his face and the military uniform he was washing, his heart was suddenly shocked.
The resentment that had accumulated over the past three years melted away as quickly as an iceberg under the scorching sun. Tan Renhao almost forgot the dispute with his father that year. All he saw was an ordinary father, a father who had given him support and a sense of security since childhood.
"You're back!"
Tan Jingkang's voice is very hoarse, which is a sequelae of hawking on the street when he was young.
Tan Renhao felt as if a current ran through his body.
He nodded to his father, took his luggage and got out of the car, then asked Du Xing to go back first. He didn't want his adjutant to see what was about to happen.
