1965 Burning Desire

"General secretary?" Yun Lintian's surprise was evident. This was the highest rank in the military. Why hadn't he heard of him?

"Li Zong, I see." Yun Lintian recognized the name. "Why does he want to see me? Don't tell me he's planning to marry his granddaughter off to me and give me a villa as a dowry?"

Ye Ling burst into laughter. "You should stop reading those novels already."

Yun Lintian chuckled. He had already located Li Zong using his spiritual sense. The man's villa was just a few kilometers away.

"I will," Yun Lintian agreed. He was sure this wasn't a simple matter like repaying a debt of gratitude.

"Do you want to join us?" he inquired.
