Late at night, the small restaurant in the mountain city had no more customers. It was supposed to be closed.
However, since Li Weigong was brought here by Xu Zhongyi, he was probably a general.
Therefore, no one dared to chase him away.
He sat in a secluded corner to sober up, drinking tea while waiting for Xu Zhongyi to return.
"General Jun, Section Chief Xu went to get the car and asked me to help take care of you.”
The waiter bowed and said respectfully to Li Weigong.
However, Li Weigong had also been in the military for so many years, so he was naturally cautious.
Even when facing his closest students, he was no exception.
"How long has he been gone?"
The waiter looked up at the clock in the hall and calculated the time.
"Probably…Half an hour."
Li Weigong didn't reply and just nodded silently.
If he remembered correctly, when he came with Xu Zhongyi, the car was parked in an alley beside the small tavern.
Driving?
Why did it take so long?
He couldn't help but connect this matter with Young Master Qi spying on Xu Zhongyi.
could it
Did Xu Zhongyi deliberately get himself drunk? Was he using her to escape surveillance?
Li Weigong needed an answer, so he continued drinking tea. While waiting for Xu Zhongyi's return, he calculated the time based on the half an hour.
When Xu Zhongyi stood in front of Li Weigong again, he was panting and complaining. The latter couldn't help but suspect that he had done it on purpose.
"Have a seat. There's no hurry to go back."
Li Weigong raised his chin and gestured for Xu Zhongyi to sit down.
Xu Zhongyi looked around and found that the waiters were cleaning the place in an orderly manner.
Only he and Li Weigong were in the hall.
Now that Li Weigong had sobered up, his actions were obviously suspicious of him and wanted to interrogate him further.
If he hesitated and did not obey, he was afraid that it would cause Li Weigong's dissatisfaction.
Xu Zhongyi agreed readily, unbuttoned his suit, and sat down.
"Master, have you sobered up?"
"Yes, I'm a little awake."
Li Weigong finished the tea in his cup and continued.
"Zhongyi, you don't know, right? This wine goes to your head quickly and sobers up quickly.”
As he spoke, Li Weigong raised his eyes and his tone was very stiff.
Xu Zhongyi naturally understood. The other party's probing made him smile indifferently and quickly continued the conversation.
"Aiyo, this means that this is good wine, Master!”
"I've never drunk such good wine before. I only bought it specially for the banquet to invite you.”
Xu Zhongyi's words of praise entered Li Weigong's heart.
He had to admit that although Xu Zhongyi was not his most promising student, he was indeed the smartest.
In Li Weigong's heart, Xu Zhongyi was worth ten ironwood lumps of Young Master Qi.
Perhaps only such a person was the most suitable to develop in the northeast.
"Zhongyi, I heard you say that the tire was flat. How is it?”
Li Weigong continued to interrogate.
Xu Zhongyi put on an annoyed expression again.
"Teacher, I was just about to tell you about this.”
"I originally wanted to drive the car to the door so that I could help you back to rest. I didn't expect that this broken car would burst its tires after driving a few steps!”
"I don't have any spare tires in my trunk, so I can only try my luck nearby and see if I can borrow one.”
"But I'm almost back to our headquarters, and I don't see anyone. I'm worried that you'll catch a cold at night, so I can only return the way I came.”
Xu Zhongyi's excuse was flawless and almost impossible to find any mistakes.
Li Wei listened attentively and couldn't help but feel that it was somewhat believable.
"Really? Is the car okay?"
"That broken car is naturally fine. It's just that it's been hard on teacher.”
"I originally wanted to call the headquarters and ask them to drive a car to pick you up, but..."
Xu Zhongyi looked at Li Weigong and smiled embarrassedly.
"However, in this way, it would appear that Master is putting on airs the moment you return. If this reaches Boss Dai's ears, it would be too unpleasant to hear…"
Li Weigong's expression changed when he heard that and he hurriedly said.
"Yes, Zhongyi, you did the right thing.”
"If I was still awake just now, I definitely wouldn't have asked you to call the headquarters for a car.”
"There are so many rickshaws on the street. Just call one to send me back.”
Yes, what he cared about the most was his reputation.
In this regard, Xu Zhongyi, as a student, was very considerate of himself. Li Weigong was very gratified.
He cast aside the suspicions he had just had about Xu Zhongyi.
Li Weigong was somewhat determined to let him go to the northeast.
......
The two of them walked out of the small tavern. Xu Zhongyi took the lead and walked forward, ready to wave his hand to call a taxi for Li Weigong.
Unexpectedly, Li Weigong reached out and stopped him.
Then, he waved his hand slowly and deliberately said to Xu Zhongyi,"
"Don't be in a hurry to call a taxi. Take me to see your car and see if there's any way to remedy it.”
"After all, it's a military car. We can't just let him park in this alley!”
Xu Zhongyi was stunned, but he immediately understood that Li Weigong still did not believe him.
Fortunately, he had already punctured his tires and made all the necessary preparations.
Then, he could only reach out his hand without hesitation and support Li Weigong as they walked towards the car.
"Master, in my opinion, it's fine to leave this broken car here for a night. We'll think of a way to repair it tomorrow!”
Xu Zhongyi walked to the front of the car, not panicking at all. He kicked the tire and complained.
"I feel unlucky when I see this broken car!”
"You dropped the ball at the critical moment, causing Teacher to have to take a rickshaw back!”
"Hey, Zhongyi."
Li Weigong stopped him, his eyes staring at the punctured tire.
"Isn't it just a flat tire? Come over early tomorrow and get a new one.”
"Let's go. It's late. Let's go home early.”
After confirming that the car's tires were really flat, Li Weigong was not prepared to pursue the matter.
Xu Zhongyi helped to stop the rickshaw and sent him back to the military headquarters.
This small disturbance finally came to an end.
Xu Zhongyi did not know how much more Li Weigong was worried about him.
However, he was most certain about the person who would go to the northeast this time.
In Li Weigong's heart, there was probably no one more suitable than him.
It was October, and the mountain city had completely entered autumn.
The autumn wind blew past Xu Zhongyi's face, and he was already unconscious.
In the darkness, one would look forward to the arrival of dawn.
However, when dawn arrived, it was the darkest period.
Being sloppy all day and all night, doing everything with a smile was something he had to do every day for the mission of hiding.
Xu Zhongyi couldn't help but wonder if all of this would continue when they reached the northeast.
