I Have a Date with a Thousand-year-old Female Corpse

Nowadays, Wei Tong is also showing his true nature, so he speaks with great expression: "But last night, just last night, my granddaughter with her sharp eyes, from the back view and some movements, recognized that the boy called Li Jiu is that already dead Li Tian!"

Hearing this, your grandfather finally understands why you haven’t come to see him recently, it turns out you are on a mission again.

However, your grandfather doesn’t quite understand, with your disposition, it seems impossible for you to still have any ties with the troops, after all, Chen Houtu’s death was too much of a blow to you, causing you to lose faith in the troops, in the instructor, and even in Du Ping’an.

"You mean, Li Tian didn’t die, but took the alias Li Jiu to carry out a mission?"

"That’s more or less what it means, but my granddaughter met Li Tian last night, spoke a lot to him, and he didn’t say a word, just turned around and left. And I called Du Ping’an multiple times before, he wouldn’t let anything slip, insisting that Li Tian was already dead."

Your grandfather looked at Wei Tong and asked: "So you have come to find me now, you want me to call Du Ping’an and make him talk?"

Wei Tong stared fixedly at your grandfather, suddenly stood up, and saluted your grandfather: "Platoon Leader! To tell the truth, these years I haven’t come to see you because I felt guilty for what I did to you back then."

"It’s all in the past, don’t mention it." Your grandfather waved his hand.

"Platoon Leader, I only have one granddaughter and grandson, this eldest granddaughter I’ve watched grow up since she was young. She and Li Tian were deeply in love, but now they are forcibly separated by Du Ping’an, I’m here today, hoping you, Platoon Leader, could stand up for me!"

Your grandfather looked up at Wei Yingyue, Wei Yingyue bowed ninety degrees to your grandfather.

Your grandfather, now seventy-five years old, scratched his head and smiled wryly: "Wei Tong, oh Wei Tong, you have never stopped worrying me since the past, now old and retired, yet you still bring trouble to me."

"Platoon Leader..."

"Alright, alright, I’ll immediately call Du Ping’an." That being said, your grandfather turned to Yan Zisu behind him and said, "Zisu, go to my room and fetch the small black phone from the leftmost drawer of the wardrobe."

"Alright." Yan Zisu quickly left, as a girl she could see that the beautiful-looking elder sister before her indeed held deep feelings for Li Tian, thus she also really wanted to help her, and her pace was much quicker than usual.

Taking advantage of the time Yan Zisu was fetching the phone, your grandfather said to Wei Tong: "Little Wei, sit down, let’s eat this Beggar’s Chicken, if we let it sit any longer it will get cold, if not eaten, it will be ruined."

"Yes, Platoon Leader!"

Your grandfather allowing him to sit down and eat the chicken meant he no longer blamed him, this trip also relieved Wei Tong of a long-burdened concern, he immediately sat down, tore off another Chicken Leg for Wei Tong, and took the chicken head to gnaw.

"You’re an old general, how come you’re still gnawing on the chicken head?"

Your grandfather remembered clearly, back then in his platoon, Wei Tong was young and often bullied, when eating chicken it was customary to give him the chicken head.

"Platoon Leader, in front of you, I will forever be that little soldier playing the charge trumpet!"

Your grandfather and Wei Tong were eating when Yan Zisu came jogging over with the phone.

Your grandfather took the phone and looked at the slightly breathless Yan Zisu, "You girl, it’s not something extremely urgent, look at you all out of breath, sit over there and rest first."

Yan Zisu shook her head slightly, then stood behind your grandfather by herself.

Wei Yingyue knew that Yan Zisu was kindly helping her, so she nodded towards her, Yan Zisu gave a light smile, her smile like Konggu Youlan easing the originally somewhat troubled mood of Wei Yingyue.

Your grandfather skilfully dialed Du Ping’an’s private phone number, which was quickly connected, and Du Ping’an’s voice came from the speaker.

Du Ping’an’s voice sounded a bit low, after all, it’s quite rare for your grandfather to call him: "Squad Leader."

"Ping’an, Wei Tong is right here with me."

Hearing this, Du Ping’an’s voice, which was initially low, instantly sounded a bit more elevated. Initially assuming that your grandfather called him due to some serious matter, hearing it was Wei Tong, Du Ping’an immediately laughed: "How rare, Old Wei Ghost hasn’t dared to see you all these years, now visits, surely with wine and chicken ready."

Wei Tong on the side felt a bit embarrassed by Du Ping’an’s words, the two having known each other for many years, thoroughly understanding each other’s temperaments.

Being able to become the Military District Commander, Du Ping’an of course has a shrewd mind, aware that Wei Tong seeking your grandfather and having your grandfather call him, is for Li Tian’s matter. Wei Tong had sought him not once or twice before over this, Du Ping’an was already used to it. At that moment he said to your grandfather: "Squad Leader, do you have the speaker on?"

"It’s on."

"Good, in front of the Squad Leader, I won’t be vague with you, Old Wei Ghost."

"Old Du, you old bastard, it’s one thing to hide something from me, but why did that Li Tian kid get spotted by my granddaughter, yet still doesn’t acknowledge her, you tell me, is this some trick of yours?"

"Nonsense!" Du Ping’an rolled his eyes over the phone, "I say, Old Wei Ghost, after all these years of knowing each other, do you think I’d willingly deceive you? I’ll tell you straight, this was all Li Tian’s own decision."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Specifically, I can’t say much either, after all, this matter Li Tian repeatedly asked me not to let it slip out." Du Ping’an knew such words wouldn’t fool Wei Tong, so he continued, "As for why Li Tian didn’t reunite with Little Yue, I think it might be related to his current mission, which is becoming increasingly enigmatic. What we’re up against could possibly be one or perhaps two extremely powerful international organizations, and we still don’t know their true intentions. All we know is that they are well-prepared."

"Grandpa Du, are you saying Li Tian is in great danger now?" Wei Yingyue stepped forward, her face showing not only anxiety but also a trace of worry.

"With Li Tian’s skills there isn’t much to worry about, currently he is cooperating with his previous two teammates in combat, perhaps in a few days that girl Yanan will join too. Don’t approach him for now, wait for a while... hold on, I’ve another call to take."

With that, a waiting tone came through the speaker, roughly two minutes later, Du Ping’an’s voice reappeared: "Sorry about that, where were we? Oh, right, I was saying Little Yue shouldn’t hurry to approach Li Tian, well, how to put it, as an elder I shouldn’t say much about your generation’s love matters, as always, just let nature take its course. Old Wei, you and I have been brothers for many years, I apologize for this matter, alright?"

"Hmph, at least you have some conscience."
