Chapter 60: The Price
As soon as the call was connected, Jiang Yu's mother Hu Huilan asked anxiously: "Xiaoyu, tell the truth to your mother, have you committed something? Why did the police comrades ask us to see you!"
Jiang Yu explained to his mother for a long time, but she just didn't believe it. She thought that the police comrades were being sarcastic when they said that their son had made great contributions.
What great contribution can a sophomore make?
He explained it several times, but when his mother didn't listen, he simply hung up the phone and didn't bother to explain.
Jiang Yu sighed and couldn't sleep because of his mother's call. He planned to go to school to pack clothes and daily necessities before his mother came.
Anyway, before I traveled back in time, I had already gone to college and graduate school, so there was no point in going through it again.
It would be better to stay in the villa and carefully polish his academic achievements in the past two years, so that the armed police can protect him.
Jiang Yu estimated that ETO had no spare power to retaliate against him in the recent period, but after the large-scale manhunt, he might not be able to do so, so he had to be careful for a while.
When I returned to the dormitory, only the dormitory boss was there. He was a little confused when he saw the two armed policemen following Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu smiled and said: "Okay, I confess, I want to go home and inherit the big villa!"
The boss came to his senses and said, "Third brother, what have you done? Even uncles from the People's Liberation Army have been dispatched!"
"Boss, you need to change your glasses. I'm an armed policeman!" Jiang Yu said with a smile, "What kind of uncle am I? I'm only one or two years older than you."
"Brother of the Armed Police," the boss quickly changed his words: "What did Jiang Yu do? You can reveal it a little more. When Jiang Yu's parents ask, I'll let them know what's going on!"
The two armed policemen laughed and said nothing.
Jiang Yu said while packing his things: "Bring me the shampoo I lent you. There is nothing in the villa. You have to buy everything yourself."
He had tens of thousands of yuan in bonuses that had been distributed before, and he still had money to buy these daily necessities.
Back at the villa, his parents had just arrived, as well as his sister and brother-in-law.
When Hu Huilan saw that her son was not wearing handcuffs, her heart was half relieved at first.
Jiang Yu took them to the living room and told them about his recent "undercover" career.
However, he did not tell his family many things, such as his experience of killing people in Mongolia, the "Wallfacer Shop", etc.
The family has not been together like this for a long time. Jiang Yu was still in Mongolia during the Mid-Autumn Festival and only made a phone call to his family.
During the summer vacation, Jiang Yu stayed at school and did not go home in order to win Kong Xiang's trust as soon as possible.
Hu Huilan and other family members feel that ETO is easy to understand and is an international terrorist organization.
Jiang Yu spent a lot of effort to convince his family of the existence of the Trisolarans and asked them not to publicize it to the outside world.
Finally, Jiang Yu said: "Although I assisted the police in arresting half of ETO's top executives, the price paid is that several of us, including Lele, are likely to become the targets of ETO's revenge."
Jiang Yu's sister Jiang Ying was shocked: "I left Lele at his grandma's house! He won't..."
Jiang Yu smiled and said: "Don't worry, there are several armed police comrades who have been protecting Lele."
Then he said with a serious expression: "I must apologize to you for putting you in danger."
The old man Jiang Wenhuan slapped the table: "What are you apologizing for? This is what a man should do. Don't be vague when you should serve the country!"
"I'm telling you, none of you are allowed to complain about Xiaoyu, do you hear me?"
The old man served as a soldier for more than ten years, and after changing jobs, he worked as the security section chief of a confidential unit for more than ten years. His consciousness has always been very high.
At home, if the old man says one thing, no one dares to say two things.
The old man had already set the tone, and Hu Huilan and Jiang Ying, who had somewhat complained about Jiang Yu, could not say anything more.
They complained about Jiang Yu, not that he put everyone in danger, but that he did such a dangerous thing without saying a word.
From now on, Jiang Yu will have to live under protection, which will affect the rest of his life.
For Jiang Wenhuan, since his son has committed no crime and has made great achievements, he should celebrate.
At that moment, the old man directed Hu Huilan and Jiang Ying to go to a nearby supermarket in an armed police car to buy some vegetables and meat. He also helped Jiang Yu buy a set of pots, pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
In the evening, everyone had a few drinks in the spacious living room.
After three rounds of drinking, Jiang Wenhuan began to criticize that his son should not live in a villa owned by the state! This was obviously taking advantage of the state.
Hu Huilan had a different opinion. She believed that it was polite for her son to live in a villa if he neglected his studies and took such a big risk to help the country so much.
Besides, this villa was lent to Jiang Yu by the state, and it didn't say it was for Jiang Yu. The combat center was too petty.
The family was happy that night, but early the next morning, as the family left, the villa quickly became deserted.
Jiang Yu's parents have not yet reached retirement age, and his sister and brother-in-law also have their own jobs, so they cannot stay with Jiang Yu.
Looking at the empty living room, Jiang Yu pondered for a long time, feeling a little uncomfortable staying at home like this.
The old man gave him a long ideological education class yesterday, and he was already inclined to agree to Chang Weisi's invitation, but he planned to reply to Chang Weisi tomorrow.
As for today, he planned to take a look at Yang Dong first.
Arriving at the faculty and staff community in a car, Jiang Yu hesitated before entering the building door.
He was really afraid that Yang Dong would yell at him.
After meeting Yang Dong, Jiang Yu discovered that Yang Dong was not angry, nor did he even have major mood swings.
This made Jiang Yu even a little suspicious. Did Yang Dong still not know that his mother was arrested?
After Yang Dong made a cup of tea for Jiang Yu and the two of them sat down on the sofa, Jiang Yu said, "Sorry."
Yang Dong shook his head and smiled: "There is nothing to be sorry for. When I learned that my mother was a terrorist leader, my first thought was to call the police."
She took a deep breath: "I talked to my mother on the phone last night, and she didn't blame you and said she would cooperate with the police in the interrogation.
"My mother asked me not to blame her."
Yang Dong shook his head: "Actually, I have known my mother's secret for a long time. She has a computer and it is very hidden. No one knows its existence except me.
"Some time ago, I was looking for something and accidentally discovered that computer and the shocking information on it."
Jiang Yu was stunned. Kong Xiang had previously said that Ye Wenjie did not have a computer at home, and then he discovered that Ye Wenjie was taking advantage of the opportunity to buy groceries to deliver letters. Jiang Yu had completely ignored the computer issue.
It seems that Ye Wenjie conveyed some information through computers and other information through letters.
Perhaps the letter was simply used to confuse the enemy. Since the old lady knew that Kong Xiang of the Academy of Social Sciences was the leader of the Adventist sect, it was normal for the old lady to put up a smokescreen in conveying information based on her cautious habits.
Jiang Yu glanced at Yang Dong. No wonder Yang Dong was so calm. It turned out that he had been mentally prepared.
Yang Dong suddenly said: "Do you have time today? Come with me to see my mother!"
