Chapter 171 Father-Son Relationship
When he first came to the capital and the Tianhe, Qin Feng had been a different kind of man . He had the demeanor of a prince, believing that he could do whatever he wanted . He wasn"t concerned with honor, or military discipline, or responsibility, and he wasn"t concerned with his relationships around the city . There was only Qin Feng as the Qin family"s eldest son, and he was arrogant and free .
This was the true Qin Feng, but years of experience in the military had given him a n.o.ble temperament and grounding . He did not experience luxury during those years . What he had now was a solid sense of duty .
He did not regret leaving such a privileged life because the army had taught him many things that he would never have learned otherwise . He believed that if he hadn"t had that military experience, he would have become the same as Ji Dongchen and Jia Dapeng long ago .
This was also what Qin Wannian believed . When Qin Feng was only around five years old, he took him out of the bustling capital city to stay in the wild mountains in the suburbs . The mountains in the northeast were covered in snow and the temperature was far below zero . The boy"s body was so cold that it had turned purple . However, Qin Wannian still insisted on the training . When the boy did not reach his training targets, he was forced to take off his thick, padded jacket and stand in the cold in his thin clothing .
Those painful years were painful to think about . In other families, even in the most common families, children had happy childhoods, but as for Qin Feng"s, it was full of bitterness and hatred .
He had hated Qin Wannian, the stubborn fossil .
"Haha, the kind of person needs to be cleaned up!” said the driver about the secretary . If you did not stop me, I"d have killed someone that night . He should have been thrown into the river to feed the fish . "
"I don"t want to upset Tianhe . Even when I try to keep a low profile, messes still crop up . I don"t feel very optimistic about the situation in the Tianhe," Qin Feng said and sighed .
"There are about five million people in this city, and where there are people, there are grudges and hatred . This is unavoidable . But there is also the truth that the strong are respected . No matter where you are, except in the capital, as long as you are strong, no one will dare to touch you . "
The driver then asked, "Did you really go to Tianhe to protect your comrade"s sister? It"s not a special mission, is it? If you really want to protect her, why don"t you just bring her to the capital? I"ll arrange for people to protect her . Our Qin family is in--”
"No, at least not now . She didn"t know that her brother had pa.s.sed away, and if I took her away, it would have been cruel . Besides, we were thinking about opening her dream bar, and she has her own career plan, and I want her to be free from any outside control . Because I was controlled by others before, fixed in a way of life . I hate that feeling, so I don"t want to be so tied to her," Qin Feng explained thoroughly .
He put out his cigarette, then leaned back and smiled . “Actually, I have a selfish intention . I want to take advantage of this time protecting her to feel what it"s like to live leisurely in the real city . I"ve been so comfortable recently . I"ve never felt so relaxed and with nothing to worry about . ”
After hearing this, the driver smiled . "In fact, I guessed it might be something like that . Qin Feng, I am only about eight years older than you . I was brought to Qin"s house by the age of thirteen . Without him, I would have starved to death by the roadside . At that time, you were only a few years old, but I watched him strip you during the cold winter, tie you to a column outside and whip you, just because you mischievously broke a piece of uncut jade . Something like that hardly matters to the Qin family, but he still treated you so poorly . . .
At that time, I was so frightened of his temper, and thought that he loved violence, but I eventually realized he would never be that angry with anyone except you . Even if he becomes angry, he won"t start beating people, just you . There is one word to describe that behavior--cruelty!"
When he heard this statement, Qin Feng was plunged into a painful memory . Truthfully, he was afraid to see Qin Wannian . The old man was always beating him and punishing him . He had vowed to make Qin Feng the best special combat soldier in the world .
But the boy had only been a few years old . How could he understand the reasons behind the cruelty? During that time, he did not have even a trace of happiness .
"It hurts," he said . "Thinking about my childhood, that is . "
After a pause, Qin Feng continued . "But in retrospect, if he had not trained me since I was a child, I would not be the me I am today . I would be like those guys in the capital, drinking every day, spending all my time drunk . I may have had a good life, but I wouldn"t have made much of myself . "
In the end, he understood his father . Although there would always be some hatred in his heart, as he got older, he gained understanding . Qin Feng had begun to feel less bitter about his father"s actions in the past two years .
"Yes, you"re taking on the most difficult task in the world, but you can do it successfully . That"s your strength . There"s no better special combat team soldier than you in all of China . The Qin family is not short of anything except the opportunity to be themselves . When the master was young, his family was slandered, and he lost the opportunity to approach the world as himself . He has always had a special dream of war in his heart, which he"s since pinned on you . He wants you to finish his unfinished dreams . "
The driver continued, "In fact, I often see him standing on the terrace staring at the sky, smoking cigarettes, and looking so lonely . I think in those moments, he must be thinking of you . Don"t blame him . "
"Don"t worry about it . I"m back now, and I have something important to ask him . How"s he doing anyway?"
Qin Feng hadn"t been home in a while, and he unexpectedly felt nervous . In the past, he could step into the courtyard and scold Qin Wannian without a second thought, but now he was more sensible, and when he faced him, he wasn"t sure how to act .
When he acted friendly, the old guy remained cold and distant, which made it hard to establish a closer relationship .
"He"s fine, but he"s been smoking a lot lately and coughing all the time . You know, when he was in the army, he was shot . His body never fully recovered," the driver said, sighing . "You two really have served China well . One is a hero who fought back in self-defense against Vietnam and the other is the captain of the Golden Special Forces, specialized in conquering the most dangerous tasks . "
This was the integrity and accomplishment the Qin Family should have . Father and son would always be father and son . Their relationship couldn"t be severed .
