Even if Xu Laosan was stupid, he could tell that something seemed to have happened. He couldn't help but wonder if he had really forgotten someone.

But that can't be! He's still young, it's impossible for him to have developed Alzheimer's so many years in advance, right?

Xu Mingyang and Shao Baixuan returned after completing their mission. At the research base in Northwest China, they captured the spies lurking there, destroyed their communication routes for sending intelligence abroad, and carefully investigated, ensuring that the enemy agents would never be able to re-establish their network.

With this, the enemy's spy network, which had been planted and organized in the country for so many years, was finally completely eliminated.

During the investigation, they also destroyed a special factory medical facility.

On the surface, this medical facility looks very ordinary, but in fact it is another secret research base besides Pear Blossom Village.

The medical equipment at this research base is very advanced; it can even perform minor facial contouring surgeries.

Presumably, the surgeries of those who impersonated others were all performed here.

The true owners of this research base are the Nakano family.

After a long period of lying in wait, Xu Mingyang and Shao Baixuan finally captured the main person in charge of the Nakano family in China.

This man was the younger brother of the head of the Nakano family and also the uncle of the Nakano family. He was also one of the main people in charge of the famous digital laboratory during the war.

After the defeat, he returned with the main force, but after a few years, he still cared about those experiments and secretly sneaked back.

At that time, the country had just been liberated and was not very stable. Population checks were not thorough, so he took advantage of this loophole.

After this person arrived at the factory's medical center, people in the surrounding area frequently went missing, mostly elderly people living alone. At first, no one paid much attention, assuming that the elderly had simply wandered off. However, later, adults working the night shift also mysteriously disappeared, which attracted the attention of the police. But for many years, they have been unable to catch the culprit.

Then, during the next decade of turmoil, they became even more arrogant, and the quality of the experimental subjects they obtained became increasingly higher.

When Xu Mingyang and Shao Baixuan destroyed the experimental base and saw the scene inside, even seasoned veterans like them couldn't bear it, and several young soldiers vomited on the spot.

Therefore, the cruelty and perversion of the people living in such a state are truly unimaginable. Such people and such a nation should be nailed to the pillar of shame and never forgiven.

Shao Baixuan was finally reunited with his wife and children. That day, his wife cried her heart out, releasing all the fear and anxiety she had endured over the years.

Chen Ping arrived; he was brought over by Xu Yaozu and his comrade from the Armed Forces Department.

Although Chen Ping didn't have Xu Yaozu's looks and demeanor, he was still a very handsome middle-aged man. But now, Chen Ping had a full head of white hair and looked nothing like his usual self.

Although Chen Jianguo was not his biological son, the affection he poured into him was incomparable to that of Chen Guoqing.

The most tragic thing in life is for a parent to outlive their child.

Chen Jianguo's hair really turned white overnight.

The news of Chen Jianguo's accident was not told to Old Mrs. Chen and Yao Dahai. They never knew that Chen Jianguo was not Chen Ping's son. How could they bear to know that Chen Jianguo was gone?

In just a few days, Xu Xinning lost a lot of weight, and Xu Laosan was constantly in a state of self-doubt because people would inadvertently mention the person named Chen Jianguo in front of him, and then panic and shut up when they saw him. Xu Laosan was sure that this person was very important to their family, but he really didn't remember him, so he had been in great pain these past few days.

When Xu Yaozu saw Xu Xinning and Xu Laosan, who had lost a lot of weight, he felt very sorry for them. But when he thought of Chen Jianguo who was gone, his heart ached.

Although Chen Jianguo is not a child of the Xu family, he is no different from any other child of the Xu family.

When Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu found out, they almost fainted. That's why Yang Chunqin didn't come with them this time. She wanted to keep an eye on them, since they were getting on in years and even if they were in good health, they couldn't withstand the strain.

Sato Takeru caused a scene in the interrogation room, insisting on seeing Chen Jianguo for the past two days. He started by making a huge fuss, but later he ran out of energy and stopped eating and drinking.

He never imagined that after years of lurking in China, he would end up losing his son at the last moment. He has been thinking a lot these past two days. He sacrificed his youth, his love, and his lover, and now he has lost his only son. What was the point of all this?

If in the end he was exposed because he was less skilled than others, he would have nothing to say. But what's ridiculous is that they were all schemed against by their own people. Sato Takeru hates it!

When Takeru Satoh learned that explosives had been planted on the train and in many places in Kyoto, he had already guessed the old man's true purpose.

It is said that even tigers do not eat their cubs, but this old man could abandon even his own grandson, let alone treat him and his son like this.

Sato Takeru witnessed Chen Jianguo's miserable state firsthand. Now, he no longer prays to take Chen Jianguo away; he only wants him to live a good life.

Fearing that Sato Takeru might be dead, the interrogators reported the matter to Mu Jingheng, who then went to the interrogation room to visit Sato Takeru.

Upon seeing Mu Jingheng, Sato Takeru immediately perked up, looking at Mu Jingheng excitedly and asking anxiously, "How is Jianguo? Is he alright? Your wife is such a skilled doctor, she certainly wouldn't let anything happen to Jianguo."

Mu Jingheng stared straight at him, his face expressionless.

While Sato Takeru is ruthless towards others, he is actually quite decent towards Chen Jianguo.

There's also the Shao family's three children; he's never harmed them over the years, which is why Mu Jingheng has a good impression of him.

Seeing that Mu Jingheng remained silent, Sato Takeru panicked and said anxiously, "Let me take one more look at Jianguo, just one more look. I promise I won't disturb him."

Mu Jingheng is a father himself, and he knows the feeling of a father losing his child, but Sato Ken has indeed caused considerable losses to China over the years.

Mu Jingheng said softly, "Jianguo is gone. He was too badly injured and couldn't wait for my wife to treat him."

Takeru Satoh slid off the chair, his face pale and his eyes glazed over. He collapsed to the ground, seemingly devoid of energy.

Mu Jingheng stood there watching him for a long time before turning and leaving.

Chen Jianguo was cremated on the same day Chen Ping and the others arrived. The military covered his urn with the national flag, as if he were a martyr, and the Ministry of Railways sent a banner to commemorate his act of bravery.

Holding Chen Jianguo's urn, Chen Ping whispered, "My child, my child, you are a hero, you are a fine son of China. Dad is proud of you. I hope you are happy over there!"
