Chapter 175 First Female Agent
"Instructor, don't talk nonsense!" Xiwen quickly grabbed Liu Shuzheng's arm. "I don't want to be blacklisted!"
"..." Liu Shu blinked, looking at the hand that was holding his arm, and felt a little better.
In just a few words, they had reached the end of the memorial hall.
Pushing open the door in front of them, a vast expanse suddenly opened up before them!
Surprisingly, there's also a semi-circular outdoor area here.
In the center of the venue stands a tall stone monument!
The stone tablet is engraved with many names, but due to its age, the characters are somewhat worn and unclear. At the very top of the tablet is a statue of a woman with short hair wearing an old-fashioned military cap.
The woman's face was etched with a pair of bright, expressive eyes that were incredibly lifelike!
"Who is this heroine? She's so cool!" Xiwen exclaimed softly, covering her mouth.
“Flower Expo…” Cai Wenyou read aloud, following the first name on the stone tablet.
"This is the statue of Hua Bo, the first female special agent during the war." Wen Ni stood by the door, her posture straight and her eyes solemn. "The area you see now is the monument to the heroes of the 357th Hero Company."
"The 357th Company is called the Hero Company because it made a huge contribution during the war. With only a few hundred men in the company, it forcibly broke through the blockade of thousands of enemies, winning a crucial opportunity for the follow-up troops to turn the tide!"
"So, did they come back alive in the end?" Xiwen asked, her heart clenching.
“None of them came back.” Wen Ni slowly shook her head. “The one in charge of leading the team is Hua Bo.”
"Hua Bo joined the army at the age of fourteen and became the first female secret agent of China at the age of eighteen. After successfully completing several years of undercover missions, she was transferred back to the army and served as the captain of the special operations team at that time! In August of the same year, the Battle of Wengshan began. She fought bitterly against the enemy for a year and sacrificed herself in September of the following year. In October, the enemy announced its surrender, ending years of chaos!"
"Oh my god..." everyone sighed in regret.
Lu Jinye arrived late, just in time to hear her explanation of the Flower Expo.
No wonder she fell in love with the flower-patterned knife he gave her at the banquet through General Zhang, and carried it with her ever since. It turns out the knife's owner was a senior member of the Hero Company...
"Hua Bo was so young, and she sacrificed herself? Then... was she married?" Xi Wen was curious about the person's life.
Wen Ni raised an eyebrow slightly. "I don't know about that."
She had only heard the general outline of the Flower Expo from the older members of the company; she knew nothing about the other details.
"Well, I have heard some things about that. However, whether they are true or not is now impossible to verify!" Liu Shuzheng walked over and took a clean handkerchief to wipe away the dust on the stone tablet below.
"It is said that Huabo had a daughter."
"When Hua Bo died in the battle of Wengshan, the child was still an infant. Later, when the troops were ambushed during an emergency withdrawal, the child disappeared, and no one knows whether he is dead or alive!"
"Oh my god! If it's true, that's so tragic!" Xiwen's eyes reddened slightly as she counted on her fingers, "If Huabo's child were still alive, he would be in his forties or fifties by now, right? And Huabo's child's child... would be about our age by now!"
"These are all other records, some true and some false, we don't know."
Liu Shuzheng continued his introduction to them.
Wen Ni's phone, tucked in her inner pocket, vibrated repeatedly, dialing no less than ten times.
She glanced at it; it was an unfamiliar number. She then turned and walked back to the memorial hall alone to answer the call!
Hello, who is this?
"Hello? Wen Ni, is this Wen Ni? It's your father! Wen Yuanshan!"
Hearing that familiar yet unfamiliar voice, Wen Ni's brows furrowed slightly before slowly relaxing.
"What's up?"
"It's been several months since you last came back to pick up your household registration. In these months, you haven't contacted the family even once, and now even when I call you, you're so impatient! You don't ask a single question, you don't care about your father at all! Wen Ni, are you really going to live up to the title of 'ungrateful wretch'?"
On the other end of the phone, Wen Yuanshan launched into a tirade of criticism.
Wen Ni moved the phone a short distance away.
She listened to the phone again only after the sound on the other end gradually faded.
"One million, and a complete break in relations. This is what you demanded, and what you agreed to."
"You're still bringing up that million! After you left that day, the house suddenly caught fire for no reason, and that million went up in the fire! I couldn't contact you no matter what I did after that, and even this time I had to go through several hands before your cousin got your number..."
"Alright, stop talking nonsense and get to the point!" You could hear the urging voice of stepmother Sun Yuling on the other end of the phone.
Wen Yuanshan then took a deep breath and mustered all his strength to say, "I heard from your cousin that you retired from the army and went to study at Huaguo Medical University? Studying there must cost a lot of money, right? Is the person supporting your studies still that old man in his forties? If so, he's quite generous with money for you. Why don't you talk to him and ask him to transfer some money to me? Your brother is sick this time and needs money for treatment!"
"After all, I can't just give away the daughter I raised!"
"Oh……"
Wen Ni was initially unmoved, but her face darkened upon hearing that last sentence.
"My mother raised me, not you! Also, I only have one younger brother, Wen Cheng! The life or death of everyone else is none of my business!"
Wen Ni was about to hang up the phone.
Then I heard Sun Yuling on the phone, desperate and reckless, she grabbed the phone and started yelling!
"Wen Ni! You won't listen to nice things, do you? You want us to say the nasty things? Believe it or not, I'll expose all your dirty secrets and let your school know what kind of person you are! Unfilial daughter, a slut who fawns over men..."
The memorial hall was very quiet, so quiet that even without speakerphone, you could hear Sun Yuling's vulgar words.
An arm suddenly reached out from behind Wen Ni and snatched the phone from her hand.
She turned her head and met Lu Jinye's deep, storm-brewing dark eyes!
"Slander, spreading rumors, threats, intimidation—the police will contact you soon!" Lu Jinye answered the phone, his tone chilling. "Of course, if you want to experience prison life, I can send you there for a few more days!"
Who are you?!
"My surname is Lu."
"Lu...Lu? That rich kid from the Lu family in Gotham City? What's your relationship with Wen Ni? How did you two get together? You...you're not her..., are you?"
The signal suddenly became weak, and the voice on the phone sounded a bit weak; Wen Ni couldn't hear the last few sentences clearly.
All she heard was Lu Jinye's firm reply: "Yes, that's exactly what you think."
"!!What……"
Before Wen Yuanshan and Sun Yuling could finish speaking on the other end of the phone, Lu Jinye hung up the phone!
The phone was handed back to Wen Ni.
