Chapter 955: Chapter 947: Plead Again

"So I’m being shameless in coming to you again, hoping that you can speak with your son and give Liu Rui a chance to see his father. It’s been over ten years since Liu Rui last saw him. You also have a son, and if you hadn’t seen your son for such a long time due to some reason, surely you would feel hurt inside," said Xiao Yifei.

What Xiao Yifei just said hit a sore spot for the old man, as he had experienced such emotions himself. He remembered when Deng Fuguo was sent to a remote place at the border for training seven years ago.

Before that, the old man and Deng Fuguo rarely went more than a month without seeing each other. Even if they didn’t meet, since the old man was essentially his son’s superior, he was well informed about his son’s daily activities and meals, all duly reported to him.

But when his son was sent to the border, his power was of no use. In those remote areas, the phrase "the mountain is high and the emperor is far away" applied, and the old man’s influence was limited.

During the year Deng Fuguo was at the border, the old man had hardly any news about his son, so he had to keep his concern to himself, constantly worrying about his son’s safety.

Hearing Xiao Yifei’s words now, the old man’s expression softened, as if his heart had melted, and Xiao Yifei noticed this change.

"It’s possible for them to meet," said the old man. "I will talk to Fuguo about it. He will understand as well. After all, we all have hearts of flesh and blood, with parents and children. I completely understand this feeling."

As Xiao Yifei was chatting, Deng Fuguo happened to walk in. Seeing Xiao Yifei in the ward, he initially paused in surprise, then smiled and greeted him. As he had entered, he had noticed Liu Rui’s car parked downstairs at the hospital, assuming Liu Rui was there to see him, only to watch Liu Rui pass by without acknowledging him.

Now seeing Xiao Yifei here, Deng Fuguo had a pretty good idea of what was happening. He felt a bit curious about Xiao Yifei being involved with Liu Rui. From his research, the two had only become acquainted in the last few months. Their relationship had suddenly grown so close—aside from Hu Jingtang’s connection, there had to be some benefit involved!

"Fuguo, you came just in time. Dr. Xiao Yifei is here to ask a favor from you. Dr. Xiao, please tell him," said the old man.

Hearing someone still address him as Dr. Xiao, Xiao Yifei felt a strange sensation, as if he were still a doctor working at this hospital. For a moment, he was a little dazed, finding the feeling quite intriguing.

"Mr. Deng, I’ve already resigned from this hospital; please don’t call me ’doctor’ anymore. I’m not worthy of the title," Xiao Yifei waved his hand and said. noveldrama

"Oh, don’t say that. With your superb medical skills, even if you’ve resigned, you still deserve the title of doctor. Dr. Xiao, you are destined for great achievements in the future," said the old man.

Deng Fuguo watched the two, one praising the other intensely while the other was incredibly humble. People’s hearts are peculiar; when they achieve something, they wish to announce it to the world, yet when genuinely praised, they pretend everything is fine and deny it vehemently.

Seeing the two before him, Deng Fuguo couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Then Xiao Yifei explained his intentions to Deng Fuguo once more. This time, Deng Fuguo agreed without hesitation, saying, "This isn’t a difficult matter; it’s well within my authority. It can be arranged by tomorrow."

"However, getting his father out of prison is significantly more challenging. You know, no matter how high my position, I can’t decide that, so don’t blame me for being unfeeling. Everyone has their own difficulties," Deng Fuguo said.

Xiao Yifei found it surprising that Deng Fuguo agreed so readily, which indicated that the matter was indeed not difficult for him.

Thus, under Xiao Yifei’s company, Liu Rui set off to visit his father.

Liu Rui sat in the passenger seat, his face heavy, lost in thought. His mind was difficult to fathom as he always hid his true emotions deeply. Perhaps no one would ever know what his heart truly held.

As they got closer to their destination, Liu Rui seemed increasingly uneasy. Xiao Yifei could even detect a hint of nervousness in his expression.

Liu Rui was indeed anxious. He was about to see his father, whom he hadn’t seen in over a decade, and didn’t know what his father would look like now. In his memories, his father was the same as he was over ten years ago. Surely in such a harsh place, his father must have aged significantly!

He too had grown up, no longer the clueless child of the past. In his current state, his father probably wouldn’t recognize him, and that would be fine. He thought of just seeing him from a distance and then leaving.

As the moment to see his father approached, Liu Rui hesitated. He suddenly feared that what he might see would not match his expectations.

So he said to Xiao Yifei, "Let’s just take a look from a distance. I don’t want to go inside."

Xiao Yifei didn’t press further. Although he didn’t understand why Liu Rui changed his mind so suddenly, he was sure Liu Rui had a reason for his decision.

There’s an old saying in China, "Near hometown, the more timid one becomes." Liu Rui’s feelings were akin to this as he faced something precious after losing it for so long, he felt cautious and overwhelmed. The concern was, ultimately, fearing a large gap between expectations and reality, unable to accept it.

The car’s route became increasingly desolate, sometimes lacking a complete road to traverse. The journey was bumpy all the way, and Liu Rui mused to himself that he had never traveled such a difficult path in his life, feeling like he had arrived in the mountains.

He suddenly realized his father lived in such an environment. Even now, the place seemed desolate, and who knew what the inside of the prison was like? His poor father, Liu Rui wondered about his living conditions.

Finally arriving at their destination, Liu Rui saw a large building from afar, guessing it was where his father was held. Indeed, the car stopped at the gate, and the person accompanying Xiao Yifei and Liu Rui made a call to someone, allowing them unhindered access inside the prison.

Liu Rui looked around, noticing the prison was in better condition than he imagined. The buildings seemed relatively new, likely renovated in recent years, and the sanitation was decent, much better than what he had seen on TV.
