Lin.

The desk lamp illuminates a small area, but it cannot illuminate the inner world.

Father Lin was sitting in front of his desk, his eyes blank, looking ahead in a daze.

Mother Lin was sitting on the other side, also in a daze, as if she couldn't believe it.

After getting the news today, they thought it was a joke.

Their own son knew clearly that although he was a bit of a bastard, in this military courtyard, no one's son was a lawless master.

If there is anything wrong, it is because my son did not integrate into the circle of the compound.

Even if it is my own small circle, I have not integrated into it.

You must know that the circles of the courtyard are like concentric circles. The one in the center is naturally the one with the highest status, then there is a circle near the center, then there is a circle outside, and there is another circle at the outermost circle.

Even within the same circle, there are several small circles of varying size.

These circles may not matter in the eyes of our fathers. After all, we all come from the same trench and don't think much about each other.

But the next generation doesn’t think so.

Especially those who grew up in such an environment, this kind of circle has been ingrained in their bones since childhood, which is the same as the relationship between villages in the countryside.

The difference is that in this military courtyard, it is even more obvious.

The reason why they were disappointed with Lin Shen, their son, was because he was out of place.

If they are not integrated into the circle of the compound, they will have no one to rely on when they grow up. Who will use the connections that their generation has worked so hard to save?

It's fine now, but without a son, what's the use of these connections?

The two of them sat in silence until now, silent and dead.

"Head of the family, please think of a way. We only have one son."

Mother Lin couldn't help but speak, tears falling as she spoke.

"What else can you think of?"

Father Lin lowered his head and his eyes became red.

"I've thought about everything I should think about."

"I found everything I could find."

"But this time, we..."

Father Lin spoke word by word, with a flash of pain in his eyes.

"Xiao He, tell me, am I wrong?"

"What I have in my mind now is what Lin Lin was like when he was a child. I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin's father covered his face and started crying.

When a white-haired person gives a black-haired person a gift, this is the pain.

Mother Lin lay on the table with a sob, sobbing.

Bang bang

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. The two of them calmed down, and then Lin's father stood up and opened the door.

Standing at the door was an old man with a flat head, a resolute face, and a slightly serious expression.

"Old Liu!"

"Um!"

After a brief greeting, the old man came to the house.

"Brother Liu, you are here~"

Mother Lin said with a tearful voice, while Father Lin was preparing to make tea.

"Don't bother, I have to go back later."

Father Lin's hand movements froze, and Mother Lin's heart skipped a beat.

The other party's attitude was beyond their expectations.

"Old Lin, let me first tell you what I heard."

Old Liu spoke calmly, and Father Lin sat aside and listened carefully.

"The main task this time is Chief Chen. You know this, right?"

The two nodded. If Mr. Chen hadn't taken the lead, they would have rushed into the machinery factory.

But it was Mr. Chen who took the lead and they were flustered. Who didn't know what Mr. Chen had done in the past?

Although these years have been focused on domestic economic construction, the enemies were frightened by the former great reputation.

"Of course, he is only the presiding officer on the surface. In fact, in private, the two parties have reached a consensus."

"What?"

Father Lin was suddenly shocked.

Even Mother Lin found it incredible that she had established a friendship with the Coordination Office in private and helped complete many things.

This stabbing in the back probably wouldn't happen.

Seeing the two of them looking like this, Old Liu sighed, "There are too many things involved in this matter, and the arrests haven't stopped yet."

"Some people want to use this to eradicate the carrion and restore order. Naturally, some people will take advantage of this to install their cronies and control the situation."

"You guys, understand."

Father Lin and Mother Lin looked at each other, and both of them had a look of sadness in their eyes.

In the game between the two sides, they are the sacrificial pawns.

"Old Liu, tell us what we should do."

Father Lin gritted his teeth and said, "As long as I can save his life, I, I will risk my life's honor."

When Mr. Liu heard this, he sighed and shook his head, "It can't be saved."

"Xiao Lin made a big mistake this time. Do you know how much money they made through this line and how much supplies they spent?"

"A while ago, in order to deliver supplies to the disaster area, all the rice grains were pulled out from the cracks in the warehouse. You can imagine the meaning of this."

"This incident has caused shock among the people above, and voices of severe punishment are rising one after another, especially among the centrists who make up the majority. No one dares to confront them."

Lao Liu said so much in one breath, and the meaning was already obvious.

People cannot be saved.

Mother Lin covered her face, feeling extremely regretful.

"well!"

"Old Lin, you must also be prepared."

Lao Liu stood up and prepared to leave, leaving a few words before leaving.

Father Lin sat blankly on his chair and did not get up to see him off.

That last sentence is obvious.

The child does not teach, the father too.

If a child in the family commits this crime, the father will also have to bear the consequences.

What's more, if something like this happened, his position is no longer suitable.

He had expected this a long time ago.

After Lao Liu left, Father Lin stood up tremblingly, then walked to his wife, stretched out his hand to touch his lover who had been with him for many years. "Stop crying, be good!"

Mother Lin raised her head and threw herself into Father Lin's arms.

"Master, what should we do? Let's do it."

Mother Lin cried, her whole body became helpless.

"It's okay, it's okay."

"Tomorrow, I will make arrangements for you. You go to the south first and go back to your hometown to visit."

Father Lin's voice was very calm, but to Mother Lin's ears, it had a different meaning.

He raised his head and looked at his man.

"Master, you..."

"I'm fine."

"In these years, because I failed to discipline my children well, I let them go down this path. I am sorry for him, and I am also sorry for you."

"Now, I have to fulfill the responsibility of a father."
