National Tide 1980.

Chapter 649

All parents in the world are the same, even wolves and beasts have the feeling of licking their calves, and they will feel sorry for their own wolf cubs.

Just like Jiang's father who was worried about Jiang Hao's future recently.

For their daughter, Huo Xin's parents also have endless worries...

At around nine o'clock on the night of May 5, in the courtyard of No. 12, Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street.

Huo Xin's father had just returned home by car after a day's work.

In order not to disturb others, he only asked the driver to park the Jim car in front of the Western-style gatehouse that used to be the main entrance of the Beiyang Government Guest House, and got out of the car.

Then he nodded to the two soldiers who saluted him, and walked into the compound with his briefcase on foot.

At this moment, Huo Yanping only drank a few glasses of wine at the buffet party and ate very little food.

In addition to the obvious hunger, there was also a headache.

He knew that this was the side effect of getting older and exhausting too much effort.

So he couldn't wait to go back, so he quickly ordered a bowl of plain noodles, took another aspirin, and went to bed.

It's just that he didn't expect that when he knocked on the door of his house, he found that it was very abnormal, and the room was actually dark.

The overhead light in the living room was off, and neither was the TV.

With the help of the still light and shadow of the floor lamp in the corner of the room, he could barely see his wife Huang Jinghua who opened the door for him, staring at him with extremely annoyed eyes.

And then asked coldly.

"Why did you come home? Does this home mean nothing to you?"

This inexplicable coldness and hostility made him stunned at the door.

He blinked in surprise, and asked in a panic, "Jinghua, you... what's wrong with you? Are you angry with me?"

"How dare I? You are a dignified chief minister, a pillar of the country, and you are busy with state affairs every day. Dare I be angry with you?"

Huang Jinghua's sneering face was almost distorted by anger.

Huo Yanping had never seen her so ugly.

I couldn't believe that the person in front of me was my usually gentle, virtuous, knowledgeable wife.

He was afraid that outsiders would hear him, so he hurried into the house and closed the door.

Then I couldn't help but tighten my mouth for a while.

"I...what did I do wrong? You...why is that?"

Huang Jinghua's eye circles suddenly turned red, and tears were about to fall down.

"It's not that you did something wrong, it's that we all did something wrong. We really shouldn't leave our daughter alone..."

"For so many years, we have sent her money and things, but what else have we cared about her? What she needs is love, her father's strong and broad chest, and her mother's warm heart. But have we ever given it?"

"We know how many times she cried herself, and why she cried? We also know what she is thinking every day? We don't know at all, we don't know anything..."

"So now, she... She doesn't regard us as parents anymore... She doesn't want to tell us anything..."

Huo Yanping suddenly understood in his heart.

It's the daughter, it must be the daughter Huo Xin, something happened again.

Otherwise, the wife would never be so gaffe, so abnormal.

Now he was also anxious, "Where's my daughter? What happened to Xinxin? What's the use of you crying like this? Call her out quickly?"

"She's gone, she's run away from home. Just an hour ago, I...we just had a fight."

"You... You two are arguing?" Huo Yanping was even more astonished.

"I smelled the smoke, and found that she was secretly hiding in her room, smoking, drinking, and crying secretly. Of course I have to take care of her, and then we quarreled..."

"What? Has our Xinxin learned how to smoke and drink? And even cried? How is this possible?"

Huo Yanping couldn't believe it.

"Yeah, of course I have to ask her when she learned the bad habit, why did she do that? But she refused to tell, just kept crying. Later, when I got anxious, I scolded her a few times, saying that she was worthless, even Mei There is no distinction between ugly and good or bad. She asked me to stop talking, saying that she has long since hated being a good daughter who can let us show off. She also said that since you dislike me so much and my family can't tolerate me, then I will move Let's go out, she packed her luggage as she said that..."

"Then... that's not enough to really leave. You mother and daughter, aren't these all angry words? You didn't stop her?"

Huo Yanping's eyeballs were about to fall out.

"I... I just blocked it before something really happened. I actually saw sleeping pills in her things. I was really anxious at the time! Ask her why she took this? How long has she been taking it? She didn't say anything, I... ...and I hit her..."

Speaking of this, Huang Jinghua didn't know whether he was sad or regretted, so he covered his mouth and sat on the chair, crying bitterly.

But Huo Yanping felt his head was hit hard by someone's fist, his ears rang and he was dizzy.

Sleeping pills!
He knew very well what it meant to have this thing beside his daughter.

No wonder she's been so haggard lately, no wonder her spirit and mood are getting worse.

Even though he had seen countless storms and waves, this news still made him flustered.

This is called caring and chaos.

Especially thinking of her daughter not knowing where she is now, and it's getting so late, in case something happens...

That's really regrettable!
Huo Yanping didn't care about comforting his wife, instead he began to ask impatiently.

"Don't cry yet. Where can she go? Have you called to find out? Does Xinxin have any money? What clothes are you wearing? What did you bring?"

Coincidentally, at this moment, the phone rang at home.

Huo Yanping rushed over a few steps and picked it up.

Good luck!

Before calling the police, he actually found out about his daughter's whereabouts!
It turned out that after Huo Xin left home, he went to live in Dongfang Hotel.

She has money, but she doesn't want to reveal her privacy to others.

Then finding a comfortable hotel to live in is undoubtedly the best choice.

But the problem is that the Dongfang Hotel is one of the few foreign-related hotels in the capital, so it is naturally inseparable from the control of our special department.

Even some managers of the hotel themselves were inserted by special departments.

A local girl like Huo Xin, so young and beautiful, spends so much money that she wants to live in a hotel.

It's really an abnormal situation.

It is impossible not to attract the attention of these personnel and report to the higher authorities.

Coincidentally, on May 5, the capital had just given this special department its official title and establishment.

Because there are many tasks that need to be coordinated with each other, Huo Yanping even went to congratulate as a guest of the counterpart unit when the listing was listed.

In particular, Duan Tielin, the director of this special department, was Huo Yanping's old colleague who had worked with him for three years in Europe.

They have not shallow friendship and working camaraderie.

Today, it happened that Director Duan was on duty.

As soon as he received the report from his subordinates and found out that Huo Xin was Huo Yanping's daughter, he immediately called to inquire.

I want to know, Huo Xin doesn't live at home and lives in a hotel. Huo Yanping knows what's going on.

Needless to say, this time, Huo Yanping's hanging heart finally fell down.

He thanked Director Duan for the news, explained what was going on, and then he was able to comfort his wife who was already crying.

"Okay, don't cry, I know you are also worried about your daughter. Now Xinxin's exact whereabouts are known. She is fine and has gone to the hotel. You can rest assured. However, we still have to learn a lesson. We must admit , my daughter is already grown up. She has a very independent personality, you can treat her like a child, it's no good..."

"You said it lightly. You didn't see it with your own eyes. If you want to see your daughter's decadent appearance, you will be anxious. Who is responsible for this? It doesn't look like her to make my daughter look like this." It's..."

Even though Huang Jinghua wiped away his tears, he still couldn't stop pouring bitter water.

Suddenly, she seemed to have found the crux of the problem.

"By the way, it must be that young man, that young man driving a jeep that we met in Shijia Hutong on Chinese New Year's Eve. The one whose surname is... surnamed Ning. The person who brought Xinxin here. Do you remember? , Xinxin also cried for a long time that day, causing Sister Zhang's family to have a hard time for many years, and she wanted to help us to comfort Xinxin. It was after the Spring Festival that Xinxin has been in a low mood, and there is no time to be cheerful..."

Huo Yanping pondered for a moment.

"No way? That young man's eyes are very clear. He has to be guilty of not being so calm when facing us. And Xinxin himself said it. There is nothing between them, just ordinary colleagues. From now on. Nothing. It's true that they haven't been in touch..."

But these words were immediately refuted by Huang Jinghua.

"Who do you think you are? You know people, you know your face, but you don't know your heart. You have such a big heart, so don't you worry about your daughter at all? You just believe what she says. At least she's not in a normal state now. You You can't deny it. And you are not a woman, you don't know, there are some things, especially emotional things. As long as a woman gets into the horns, she can't get out. Especially when facing parents, no matter how wronged they are, they would rather die I won't say it in my stomach. I'm really afraid of her...afraid of her..."

"What are you afraid of her?"

"I'm afraid she will suffer."

These words immediately made Huo Yanping speechless.

He rubbed his forehead vigorously, and after a while, he weighed his words and said.

"No, no, my daughter won't be so disrespectful. Maybe it's just your worry, and things won't be so bad. "

"I think we should still trust our daughter and find an opportunity to have a serious conversation with her. If we want our daughter to understand us, we must first try to understand her..."

"Ah, by the way, I will speed up the matter of Xinxin going to school in France. At that time, you will also go out with Huo Xin. Even if there is something. Go abroad for a few days and focus on studying, and she will Forget about this place."

"At that time, treat the disease if you are sick, and treat the heart if you are not. Her condition will gradually improve..."

"That's it. Is that it?" Huang Jinghua's body was trembling, and his voice was not loud, but he said harshly, "Huo Yanping, you are not worthy of being the father of the child! You just arbitrarily judged that your daughter has not been wronged? No?" Bullying? I really didn't expect that your temper can be so good. Alas, someone bullied your daughter, but at this moment you only want to send Xinxin away, you are so mad at me! You director, In my opinion, it is not as good as a policeman at a police station..."

These words made Huo Yanping feel like his whole body was on fire, his face was completely gloomy, and he slapped the table in anger.

"Fart! Whoever bullies my daughter, I, Huo Yanping, will make him regret it! But the problem is, we must first remember that we are state officials. We can't use public tools for private use, abuse the power in our hands, and we must respect the truth , Can't foist grievances on innocent people. No investigation, no voice. You have to wait for me to figure things out."

With that said, he picked up the phone and dialed again.

"Hey, Xiao Duan, I'm Huo Yanping. Yes, I have to ask you for a favor. Frankly speaking, it's a balance between public and private."

"French Pierre-Carton Company, as the first foreign-funded enterprise to enter the Republic, is the object of economic and cultural exchanges that our company focuses on. I have recently been referring to and sorting out information about them. Some of the information was given to me by you, and I also Part of it was provided to me by my daughter."

"After paying attention to this company, I found that many of the business behaviors and cultural activities of this foreign-funded enterprise are quite surprising and very interesting. I think it is necessary to have a deeper understanding and analyze the company's thinking and context .”

"For the middle-level managers of this company, can you help us find out more? Especially one named Ning, okay, okay, that's it. No way, my daughter may resign soon, so I can only trouble you Yes. Yes, all-round..."
