Chapter 695: Chapter 694 Turning Humorous_1 Chapter 695: Chapter 694 Turning Humorous_1 “Dad!” Huo Beijiang couldn’t help but laugh, “I’ve found that you’ve become humorous during your lengthy disappearance this year.”
“Not only have you become humorous, but you’ve also picked up the habit of swearing.”
Huo Linong was speechless; this cheeky brat was now making fun of his old man. He was becoming more audacious day by day.
“Let’s eat first!” Huo Beijiang took off his military coat. Wearing his green military shirt, he still felt hot. So he rolled up his shirt sleeves above his elbows and unbuttoned the collar further, revealing a large patch of wheat-colored skin.
Huo Linong’s mouth twitched; this young man was obviously showing off in front of him.
Huo Beijiang never cooked. Most of his meals were usually at the cafeteria. Today, the dinner Huo Linong had was also brought over from the cafeteria by Ning Di. It was a simple dish, but the two men weren’t picky, and they just casually had some.
After they were done eating, Huo Beijiang gradually put on a serious face and said, “Alright! Since you are full now, there’s something I have to tell you.”
“What is it?” Huo Linong looked at him suspiciously.
“My eldest brother has passed away! He’s buried next to grandpa.”
Huo Linong’s smile instantly froze on his face, he looked at him in disbelief for a long moment before responding, “Don’t talk nonsense! How could that be possible? I know Dongfeng’s physical strength very well, he could even beat you.”
Although he was a whole generation older than Huo Dongfeng, their ages didn’t differ by much. They were technically uncle and nephew, but they were as close as brothers. His relationship with Dongfeng was much like the current relationship between Huo Beijiang and Huo Kewei.
The sudden news of Huo Dongfeng’s death was simply too absurd. What kind of a joke was it?
Huo Linong’s hands trembled uncontrollably. With a hoarse voice, he said, “If you dare joke about your cousin like that, I will beat you.”
“Dad, this is true!” It had been a few months since it happened, and Huo Beijiang had already moved on from the initial grief and pain. To him, pulling the Huo family through this crisis, and avenging his cousin was his priority.
“It happened right after your disappearance.” Huo Beijiang stared directly at Huo Linong, his eyes deep and piercing, displaying an assertive look as if he could see through people.
Huo Linong was momentarily taken aback. His eyes suddenly turned red. On one hand, he grieved for the sudden and inexplicable death of his nephew in his prime. On the other hand, he was heartbroken that his son had to bear so much during his absence.
“What exactly happened? State everything clearly.” Huo Dongfeng had robust military skills, capable of beating many single-handedly. How could he have just died?
Furthermore, Dongfeng was an air force colonel who always had security personnel and secretaries around him.
“A plane crash,” Huo Beijiang painfully closed his eyes, almost unable to utter those words.
Huo Dongfeng was one of the first generation of fighter jet pilots, who once took part in the South Border War. Who would have thought he would die in a plane crash? It was the height of irony.
If it was for any other reason, he might have accepted it. But a plane crash, he just couldn’t accept.
The air force explained it was due to adverse weather, but he knew it couldn’t be that simple.
“Impossible!” Huo Linong adjured emotionally as he abruptly stood up, “This absolutely can’t be. I refuse to believe it!”
“I also can’t believe it,” Huo Beijiang nodded, “I am already investigating this matter, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
After saying that, his gaze swept over his father’s rugged face, and he said pointedly, “Dad, what you need to do now is to explain clearly where you have been during this half a year.”
