In her previous life, Chen Rou had been in the military ever since she left the orphanage.
She had faced life and death, and been through gunfire, but no battle was like today, where she was just an observer and it ended. But this was also the only battle in which her father was involved.
Chen Ke's pink shirt was stained with blood, and his body reeked of the smell of gunpowder explosions, which was Chen Rou's favorite smell. So, this must be the smell of her father.
I can't bear to think how wonderful it would be if she had the chance to grow up from an infant, but instead grew up in her father's arms.
The two reached the stern of the boat. Chen Ke was very nervous and didn't know what to talk about first, so he reported the situation: "There are a total of 32 people on board, 31 of whom are men, all over the age of eighteen, and one woman, who is about thirty years old. There are 45 guns and more than 300 magazines of fifty rounds each, which have now been seized by us."
There were 32 people and more than 40 guns on this small boat, and they actually won.
Chen Rou said, "You guys are awesome, super amazing!"
This was the language habit of people from the future, which Chen Ke was not used to. He was also surprised that Chen Rou spoke Mandarin well. Nie Zhao would not reveal much about the situation to him. However, during the only time he spoke to his wife Li Xia on the phone, she mentioned that Chen Rou was Chen Ke's aunt and Chen Juan's daughter. But in Chen Ke's memory, Chen Juan had died long ago.
He had invited Chen Rou over alone to ask her this question. He gritted his teeth and tried to ask, "Mrs. Nie, is your mother's name really Chen Juan, and that she was a ballet dancer?"
Chen Rou went back in time and became her father's aunt, the daughter of her great-aunt, making her the same age as her father. With her hands behind her back, she bit her lip and nodded, "Mm!"
Chen Ke initially thought his wife was just spouting rumors and didn't dare to believe it. But now he dared to believe it was true. He took two steps back and carefully examined her under the light. As the saying goes, daughters resemble their aunts. Chen Rou and Chen Juan looked seven-tenths alike. Of course, Chen Ke was still a child when Chen Juan left home and had only seen postcards of his aunt dancing ballet. But now, as he looked closely, Chen Rou indeed looked very much like Chen Juan.
That's right.
He felt a strange sense of familiarity with her when he first met her.
It turned out that, after crossing countless mountains and rivers, these were his relatives.
He grabbed Chen Rou's hand and said, "So, I'm your brother!"
Chen Rou is the kind of person who, even if she suffers extensive soft tissue contusions while holding a Barrett rifle and sniping someone's head, will feel pain but won't shed a tear. But this is her father, so of course it's different. She didn't intend to cry, but with just a soft "uh," tears streamed down her face.
Chen Ke had no younger sister and only a wife, but he was always quite strong. He wasn't good at coaxing girls, so when he frantically reached for his handkerchief, it started clattering and banging as bullet casings fell out.
With another movement, the spent cartridge cases all over his body began to fall off.
In a flurry of activity, he said, "Don't cry, don't cry."
He then blankly patted his pockets and said, "It's our first time meeting, and I don't have any gifts for you. Tell me what you like, and I'll buy it for you later."
Chen Rou shook her head, of course. What she wanted was a father who could accompany her as she grew up, but that was no longer possible.
She lacks nothing else.
Chen Ke naturally asked, "Your mother..."
Seeing Chen Rou shaking her head, he understood: "Dead?"
Chen Rou had heard from Li Xia that Chen Ke's grandmother, who was also Chen Juan's mother, was still alive. However, Chen Rou didn't want to see her. The generational gap between them was too large for her, and she was somewhat reluctant to do so. Mainly, she was afraid that if Chen Ke got too excited and insisted on taking her back to the Northwest, she wouldn't be able to go. But refusing would be difficult.
But with just a few words, Chen Ke sketched out a vivid and magnificent picture of Chen Rou's great-aunt's life.
He said, "Your mother was exceptional. When she was little, before liberation, all girls had to have their feet bound, but she refused and resisted to the death, so her feet weren't bound. Later, her parents wanted to sell her to be a child bride, but she refused. Instead, she carried a hoe, crossed mountains and valleys to find revolutionary forces, and joined the revolution. After liberation, she became one of our country's first ballet dancers, performing in 'The Red Detachment of Women' and 'The White-Haired Girl.' She not only danced domestically but also went to the Soviet Union in the north. She was always the best dancer."
She added, "It was thanks to her guidance that I was able to join the army."
This was the first time Chen Rou had ever heard of such things.
So she actually had such a great-aunt whose life story was quite extraordinary?
She began her rebellion after being bound by her feet and sold into prostitution as a child bride, and fought her way to Hong Kong.
This brings us to how hateful Dong Ying and Er Hong are. If it weren't for them, how could such an outstanding woman have died so young?
Chen Ke added, "She was strong-willed by nature, but too trusting. It is said that she was misled by a hidden enemy agent and unknowingly betrayed intelligence, which forced her to leave."
So, Chen Juan was forced to smuggle herself across the border because she was lured by the enemy and betrayed their intelligence?
Chen Rou finally figured everything out.
Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered that Chen Ke was the same. He was able to stay in the Philippines for so long, which shows that he had no problem with combat. However, he was too honest and trusting. He would not be wary of anyone he considered to be one of his own.
Chen Rou had to find a way to remind him of this, otherwise the tragedy of being lured out and brutally murdered by Li Da the Cripple would still happen, and Chen Ke would still die.
But how can she teach her kind-hearted father to be wary of his own people and to be cautious in everything he does?
It's no use talking about this; people often have to suffer losses to learn from their mistakes.
Chen Rou needed to find something to teach her father a lesson so he would remember it.
...
Not to mention that the father and daughter were chatting happily at the stern of the boat.
Inside the cabin, out of basic respect for the deceased, the police arranged for everyone to sleep on beds. Those without beds were laid out side by side on the floor, their faces covered with sheets and clothes, and their clothes tucked in. Then everyone left, the cabin doors were locked, and the sinking of the ship officially began.
From this moment on, the ship will sink to the bottom of the sea forever, never to see the light of day again.
After finishing his work, Song Yuanchao was the first to run out and go up to the deck, where he saw Liang Lisheng sitting and smoking, with Boss Nie standing next to him.
Songzai's habit is that as soon as he sees the boss, his second instinct is to look for the boss's wife.
But when he looked, he really couldn't understand it anymore, because the proprietress was still chatting with Chen Ke, chatting enthusiastically, and even holding hands, but the boss looked calm and collected, as if nothing had happened.
Song Yuanchao was furious.
Chen Ke had already held the boss's hand, so why wasn't the boss jealous of him?
What exactly went wrong?
