Because he seldom visited the military base, the guard at the gate, a newcomer, didn't recognize Lu Hongxuan. He had to register and pass through a series of checks before he was allowed into the base.
He had been to Lu Zhendong's office before and knew where it was.
"Please announce my arrival," Lu Hongxuan said to the guard outside.
"Please wait a moment." As Lu Zhendong's guard, who frequented the Lu family household, he recognized Lu Hongxuan.
The guard went in to announce his arrival.
Lu Zhendong was slightly surprised at Lu Hongxuan's visit.
He was relatively indifferent to his youngest son, choosing to focus his attention on Lin Xiao.
Why had he come to the base today?
To negotiate on someone's behalf?
To ask him to come home?
"Come in."
Lu Hongxuan entered the office, looking at Lu Zhendong who was busy at his desk.
"What do you need? Make it quick." Lu Zhendong's tone was commanding.
He had complicated feelings towards this unexpected son of his.
