"My father?" Yang Chen was stunned, staring at the old officer in confusion: "You... know my father?"
Yang Chen didn't directly mention that he was an orphan; he thought it impossible for the old officer not to know these things.
The old officer said with a smile, "I think your father would be very proud to have such an outstanding son like you."
Yang Chen carefully observed the old officer but could not see any flaw, as if he were merely praising Yang Chen.
Yang Chen frowned and said, "Old officer, I'm an orphan; even I don't know who my parents are."
"Oh!" The old officer said regretfully, "Is that so? What a pity."
Yang Chen found the old officer's words very suspicious but knew he couldn't get anything from him, so he didn't inquire further and left with Zhou Qinghe.
