"He..." Wei Jun's expression darkened.
Xiang Yong immediately understood.
"I understand: your father is a good man. After you left, Naidan partially dismantled this house and moved a lot of stuff out. We've been coming back to clean it, waiting for the day you might return and need a place to stay. Now that you've returned, things are better. Are you planning to stay permanently or just visiting?" Xiang Yong asked.
"Leader Ling agreed to sell this place to me, and I'll be back to check on it regularly," Wei Jun explained.
On hearing this, Xiang Yong was relieved: "That's great; Leader Ling is a good man. Although I've never met him, he is someone we all admire."
The implication of these words was a reminder: that Wei Jun shouldn't entertain other ideas. Otherwise, as far as he knew, nobody would side with Wei Jun. The changes of recent times had already shown them a glimpse of the future, a future that Wei Jun could not provide.
