Nine o'clock the next morning, Washington.
Wang Xiao, Wang An, and a group of Wang family members flew to Washington, D.C., to meet someone who was very important to them.
Under the protection of the guards, they came to an office building belonging to the Chinese Legion, and were led by the guards into a spacious meeting room.
After a long time, footsteps were heard.
An old man with gray hair and a hunched body, walked slowly and was escorted by guards to the room.
When he came in, all the Wang family disciples stood up. Wang Xiao took two steps forward and hurriedly supported him, shouting respectfully and caringly, "Uncle!"
The guards left the room and closed the door, leaving the Wang family alone.
The old man looked around expressionlessly, then, with the help of Wang Xiao, he slowly sat down on the sofa.
Everyone was silent for a while, and the atmosphere in the room was a little depressing.
After a long time, Wang Xiao took the lead in breaking the atmosphere and said very frankly: "Uncle, we came here this time just to pick you up. You have suffered a lot in these years. It's time to enjoy a peaceful life."
This gray-haired old man was the one who developed Su Tiannan in prison. Because he had lived in prison for many years, his skin was a little pale and he looked a little weak.
His previous generation and peers have all died. At this moment, he is the oldest person in the Wang family.
The old man did not answer directly, but looked at Wang Xiao and asked, "Do you have any cigarettes?"
"Yes." Wang Xiao hurriedly took out the high-end cigarettes from his pocket and handed it over.
The old man took the cigarette and Wang Xiao helped him light it.
After taking two puffs, the old man slowly said, "Including this year, I have lived in prison for a total of fifteen years. That place has adapted to me, and I have also adapted to it. Now, let me go... where can I go?"
Hearing this, Wang Xiao fell silent, not knowing how to respond.
Everyone in the room also sensed a strange emotion and kept their heads down without interrupting.
After a long silence, Wang Xiao slowly said, "Uncle, we did nothing wrong. It was the Hua District that gave up on us. You were in there for fifteen years, and the reason you were able to walk into this building was not because of their efforts, but because of our family's compromise."
"You haven't had an easy time these years. I understand even if you don't say it." The old man took a deep puff of cigarette, looked at Wang An, whose appearance had changed drastically, and then looked at Wang Xiao, who had experienced many hardships. He couldn't help but sigh and said slowly: "Our Wang family stood on the wrong side in the Chinese District and suffered suppression. It was my father, Wang Zongxiao, who kept a low profile and led the family to survive. Xiao Xiao, Xiao An, do you still remember what we were going to do when we traveled across the ocean to come to District 1?"
Wang Xiao shook his head and Wang An also remained silent.
The old man took a puff of his cigarette and did not answer the question. Instead, he continued, "During the fifteen years in prison, I have been telling myself that this is the price I have to pay to achieve that goal! It was with this breath that I survived in there for fifteen years. Now, you suddenly tell me that that goal no longer exists. Then we came here, so many people died, and in the end we turned to the enemy who massacred us. This doesn't make sense... Xiaoxiao, everyone has the right to complain and be dissatisfied. But there are many things that cannot be done. This is what my father told me when he was alive."
Wang An looked at him blankly, but Wang Xiao was a little anxious and advised again: "Uncle, I know you have suffered a lot, but your idea is a bit too radical! What have we gained in these years? In addition to the cold spirit tablet, there is also the yellow paper burned on the road every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month!!! What else do we have? "
The old man waved his hand and interrupted him: "This is not extremism, it is belief. You can't understand how I have lived in there for the past fifteen years. Just like I can't understand what you and Xiao An have experienced outside these years. We are a family, this is a fact that can never be changed. But on this matter, I can't stand with you..."
"Uncle..."
Before Wang Xiao finished speaking, the old man patted him on the shoulder gently. His cloudy eyes revealed an unbreakable firmness: "Xiao An, I live in a turbulent era, and it is impossible for me to deny my own life. You have made a decision, and it seems that it can no longer be changed. But I will not go with you. Even if I am the only one left among those Chinese exiled overseas, I will remain firm and will never compromise with District 1. Do you remember the question I asked you? This is the ideal I wanted to achieve when I came to this land! Why do I insist on it again and again? Because I have seen too many brothers who once fought side by side died in this matter! Including your father, many founders of the Chinese Workers' Union! Today I compromised. Not to mention the national position, I have to betray them first. Do you understand?!"
After saying that, the old man put out his cigarette, slowly stood up, his body seemed to have become more hunched, and he limped out, dragging a pair of old legs that had long been suffering from rheumatism, with the last bit of stubbornness in his heart.
Looking at his figure, Wang Xiao stood up and said with tears in his eyes: "Uncle!"
The old man waved his hand without saying anything. Ignoring the obstruction, he pushed open the door of the room alone and walked out.
This old man's name is Wang Tianxi. His father is the patriarch of the Longcheng Wang family near the old ninth district of Huaqu, named Wang Zongxiao.
After the unification of the Chinese region, Wang Tianxi followed the family development model left by his father and came overseas with funds and clansmen.
Initially, he planned to stay here to develop, but because Jiangzhou's mother had some connections with the Wang family, she pointed out a way for the Wang family to develop an association overseas. Because she knew that sooner or later, tens of millions of overseas Chinese would want to find the way home.
Therefore, Wang Tianxi finally embarked on the path of developing the association, and together with a group of members, he established the prototype of the Chinese Workers' Union overseas.
However, unexpectedly, before the first independence war broke out between Longcheng and District 1, the first group of awakened overseas Chinese were betrayed and wiped out on the road to independence.
This includes Wang Tianxi and Su Tianyu’s father and his group.
At that time, Wang Tianxi was arrested, convicted of espionage, and faced the death penalty. However, in order to protect him, the Chinese District secretly arrested a very high-level spy from District 1 in the Asian Alliance region to keep the two in check.
District One chose to compromise, saving Wang Tianxi's life and agreeing on the same terms to keep him in the cell.
However, as time went by, Wang Tianxi was reluctant to bow to District 1, so the higher-ups wanted to sentence him to death again. However, the Chinese Workers' Union had already grown to a certain size by then, and the higher-ups were also worried about offending this association, which had a great influence among the Chinese, so they ultimately did not implement the decision and wanted to use him to contain the Chinese Workers' Union, and they continued to brainwash him along the way.
As a result, after so many years, no matter how much he was threatened or tempted, Wang Tianxi never compromised!
Now, the entire Wang family's move to District 1 has become an established fact and cannot be changed. The only thing Wang Tianxi can do is to separate from the family.
He was too old to deny his life and betray those who had fought alongside him.
Even though he is over 60 years old, he has never forgotten why he came here in the first place...
He knew clearly that he could not persuade Wang Xiao and others, but he would not conspire with them either!
The moment he walked out of the room and looked at the guard standing outside the door, he knew what he was about to face. However, he had already made his decision.
…
Guarda region.
General Palu held the phone and shouted angrily: "Oh my God, say it again!!"
