I'm a hang

Chapter 31 This Is Your Destiny

An Gufeng pondered for a moment, then sighed helplessly.

He didn't immediately respond to An Ruxuan's complaint, but turned to look at the waiter not far away.

"Little girl, can I have a cup of coffee too?"

The waitress was stunned for a moment, and quickly responded: "Ah...Of course, just wait a moment..."

As the head of the War Preparation Department of Longdu, An Gufeng is a well-known figure in Longdu.

In Longdu, apart from the city lord Hu Haiquan, the most powerful person is probably this amiable old man.

From the moment he entered the cafe, he attracted everyone's attention.

Of course, the waitress girl is no exception, she did not expect that An Gufeng would take the initiative to ask for an order.

After a while, a cup of hot coffee was served on the table.

"Your coffee..." the waiter said respectfully.

"Thank you."

After saying thank you, An Gufeng didn't have any pretensions at all, picked up the coffee and took a sip, and said leisurely: "Well, the coffee here is really good, no wonder you girl come here every time you are in a bad mood ..."

"But, do you know how long it took coffee beans to make their way back to our tables?"

Facing the dazed An Ruxuan, An Gufeng said solemnly, "60 years..."

An Ruxuan remained silent, how could she not understand what the old man meant.

In the doomsday cataclysm hundreds of years ago, human society was defeated by the sudden appearance of freaks.

Large tracts of land and technology were lost, and technological civilization was destroyed overnight.

Things that were so common in the past have become history.

Nature also includes many crops...

But what does all this have to do with her own life?

"Not just coffee beans, but rice, corn, and peppers, all of which have been slowly reintroduced in the last 30 years..."

An Gufeng said slowly: "You have lived under the protection of your family since you were a child, and you may find it nothing strange, but do you know that there are still tens of thousands of people living on mass-produced energy bars in the slums of Longdu? "

Looking at the busy traffic outside the window of the coffee shop, An Gufeng smiled wryly: "Hundreds of years of hard work, the bloodshed and sacrifice of more than a dozen generations of night watchmen have brought us this seemingly good apocalyptic wasteland civilization... .”

"As the senior night watchman family of the Great Xia Empire, we have a heavy burden on our shoulders!"

Putting down the coffee, An Gufeng looked at his granddaughter deeply, and said word by word: "Your life really belongs to you, but unfortunately..."

"You were born in our Anjia, you have no choice in many things!"

"Reviving and protecting the civilization of the Great Xia Empire, and cultivating outstanding descendants to inherit this will, this is the destiny of our An family..."

An Ruxuan lowered her head, unable to let go for a long time.

It was her luck and misfortune to be born into a family of night watchmen.

Compared with most ordinary people, An Ruxuan not only has no worries about food and clothing, but also has a status and privileges beyond ordinary people.

But at the same time, she also lost her freedom...

Taking a deep look at her, An Gufeng sighed slightly, and changed the topic: "You girl, don't make a sad face."

"The predecessors planted trees, the descendants enjoy the shade..."

With a slight smile, An Gufeng said: "Since you don't want to work in the combat readiness department, it's not bad to be a free night watchman, as long as you think from the standpoint of our Great Xia Empire, where are you not hunting monsters? "

Hearing this, An Ruxuan raised her head in surprise.

An Gufeng said again: "As for the marriage with the Lin family, if you don't like it, then put it aside for now, you are still young anyway!"

"grandfather..."

Feeling a little moved in her heart, An Ruxuan looked at the sixtieth old man in front of her, and felt that he seemed to have aged a bit.

"My granddaughter, An Gufeng, is born beautiful, so I'm afraid I won't find a good husband?"

Frowning, An Gufeng said: "Of course, your future husband must be a night watchman, and must be highly talented, otherwise how can he be worthy of my good granddaughter?"

"Grandpa, thank you..." An Ruxuan laughed through tears, filled with emotion.

At this moment, the white-robed guard outside the coffee shop answered a phone call, and his face suddenly changed.

Walking into the coffee shop quickly, the white-robed guards came to An Gufeng's side.

He leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear.

The dignified look flashed by, An Gufeng nodded calmly, and then slowly stood up with the support of the white-robed guards.

"Okay, Grandpa still has some official business here, so I won't delay your afternoon tea."

An Ruxuan got up quickly and asked, "Grandpa, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

"It's nothing, it's just some old city defense trifles..."

Smiling and waving his hands, An Gufeng reminded: "Enough playing, remember to go home for dinner tonight, I asked the servant to make soup, I will greet your father at his place, and he will not force you again."

Nodding obediently, An Ruxuan was convinced of her grandfather.

"gone!"

Saying goodbye, An Gufeng leaned on his crutches and left the coffee shop accompanied by guards.

Unhurriedly getting into the car, An Gufeng's expression became ugly, and he asked in a deep voice.

"When did it happen?"

The guard on the side responded respectfully: "An hour ago, Qin Zhiqiang from Tianqin Metal Smelting Company personally submitted an accident report to Director Xia of the Communications Department. It has been more than half a year since the confidential research room fell..."

boom!

Hammering hard on the armrest of the car seat, An Gufeng shouted angrily: "It took half a year to report such a big matter, it's damned!"

In an instant, the temperature in the entire compartment dropped extremely rapidly, and frost formed on the windshield...

Everyone in the carriage was silent, not daring to make a sound.

After calming down the anger, the temperature in the compartment gradually returned to normal.

An Gufeng asked again: "Did Lao Hu notify you?"

"City Lord Hu and Director Beigong of the Operations Department have already been notified, and we are waiting for you to have a meeting to discuss countermeasures."

"It's really not worrying at all..."

Taking a long breath, An Gufeng leaned on the car seat and ordered: "Drive faster, I promised my granddaughter that we will go home to drink soup together tonight."

The three commercial vehicles immediately accelerated and roared through the streets of Longdu.

After a while, they drove to the building of the headquarters of the Longdu Combat Readiness Department.

An Gufeng quickly got out of the car, and walked into the building surrounded by a group of guards.

When the passing staff saw him approaching, they respectfully stepped aside, and many of them bowed flatteringly to salute.

Along the way, An Gufeng kept a straight face, appearing to be preoccupied.

Take the exclusive elevator to the basement three floors of the headquarters building.

Passed through layers of security checkpoints, and finally left a group of guards on the periphery, he walked into the meeting room alone.

In the conference room, Hu Haiquan, the city lord, was reprimanding something with an annoyed expression on his face.

Xia Lengling who was standing beside him was silent, his face full of grievances.

As for Bei Gongmu, he still had a cigar in his mouth, and his legs had long been on the conference table, always looking cynical.

"Everyone, sorry for being late, the meeting can officially begin!"

Leaning on crutches, An Gufeng sat on the seat and glanced at everyone.
