"Han Zhan." Liu Bo suddenly stood up, pulled out a chair, and bowed deeply to Han Zhan.
Han Zhan quickly stood up and helped Liu Bo up.
Liu Bo refused to get up. He said, "Han Zhan, you are Song Lian's most promising soldier. Although you have retired, Song Lian is still proud of you. I remember that when you retired, you promised yourself that if the country was in trouble, you would return!"
Han Zhan immediately saluted, his expression solemn, and said in a loud voice: "When the country is in trouble, I must return. This sentence still stands!"
Liu Bo straightened up and patted Han Zhan's shoulder solemnly. He said, "Han Zhan, Song Lian's head is still hanging outside the city wall in a foreign country. I came here this time to ask you to return to the army and lead your men south to rescue the other captured soldiers and hostages."
"If..." Uncle Liu looked up, held back his tears, and said with a sob, "If it is really difficult to break through the encirclement, then I will send these soldiers to an end..."
If it is really difficult to break through the siege, Han Zhan will have to personally send his former comrades on their final journey. Such an order is really too heavy.
Han Zhan was shocked, his eyes suddenly widening. "Who gave this order?"
Liu Bo: "Marshal."
Once soldiers are captured, they will be subjected to torture that is unbearable for ordinary people. Even if they want to bite their tongues to commit suicide, the other party will find ways to prevent them from succeeding.
The marshal would not give such an order unless it was absolutely necessary.
You have to know that they are all elite warriors! They are loyal warriors who sacrificed their lives for their country! The departure of any soldier is a pain for the country!
Han Zhan lost all ability to express himself in words for a moment, and was left with only silence.
Liu Bo also knew that such an order was too cruel for Han Zhan. He said, "Han Zhan, the reason we came to you was also a decision we made after discussion. Han Zhan, among all the soldiers' psychological quality assessment reports, you are the only soldier whose psychological assessment reached the SSS level."
"The difficulty of this mission lies in... you might have to point your gun at your comrades who have lived and died with you! Han Zhan, only you are qualified for this mission. I stand here today representing the entire country!"
"Soldier Han Zhan, are you willing to accept this order?"
Han Zhan tilted his head to look at the family portrait on the small corner table behind him. Old Man Han was sitting in the middle. His smile was quite kind, but his eyes were as sharp and majestic as an eagle.
Han Zhan saluted again, "I do!"
After seeing Liu Bo off, Han Zhan returned to his study alone. He sat in front of the computer and pondered for a long time before opening the document, editing an email, and sending it to Li Li and Bei Zhan.
This journey is dangerous, and Han Zhan must make arrangements for all his affairs.
Just after sending the letter, Han Zhan's phone rang. As soon as he heard the video ringtone, Han Zhan knew it was his porcelain baby calling.
Han Zhan answered the video and saw Song Ci squatting in a dim basketball court with his nose red from the cold.
"Han Zhan, are you working?" Song Ci's voice was trembling with cold.
Han Zhan smiled and shook his head, then asked her, "It's so cold outside, why don't you go inside? Your nose is red from the cold, be careful not to catch a cold."
Song Ci curled her lips and said angrily, "Song Fei kicked me out. She wanted to have sex with Yan Jiang via video."
Han Zhan would definitely say, "She lied to you."
Song Ci also felt that Song Fei was lying to her, but she also had something she wanted to say to Han Zhan that she didn't want Song Fei to hear. Song Ci said, "I miss you so much."
Han Zhan wanted to reach out and touch Song Ci's cheek, but he touched the smooth, cold screen of his phone. Han Zhan withdrew his hand and said, "Cibao, there is something I need to explain to you."
"Huh? What's the matter?" Song Ci felt uneasy when she noticed that Han Zhan's expression became serious and solemn, and gradually, the smile on her face faded.
After a brief pause and arranging his words, Han Zhan said, "Tonight, my former boss came to me and asked me to do something."
Song Ci thought of the news push she had just seen on her computer. She asked tentatively, "Is it from Country D?"
Han Zhan: "You know?"
Song Ci's heart trembled, and she felt a little flustered. She vaguely guessed what Han Zhan was going to say next. She stood up, leaned against the basketball pole, and said, "He called you back to the army? He assigned you a mission?"
Han Zhan: "Yeah."
Han Zhan suddenly opened the drawer under the computer desk and took out a pack of nearly expired cigarettes. Han Zhan took a cigarette and lit it. He took a long, hard drag and puffed out the smoke behind the computer desk. "Song Ci, I have to go."
Song Ci asked, "Can you come back?"
Han Zhan hesitated for a moment before saying, "I promise you, I will never miss any chance to come back."
Song Ci suddenly covered her mouth and almost cried.
"Han Zhan, can you not go?" Song Ci knew her request was too selfish, but she was not yet twenty-five, just a mother of two daughters and Han Zhan's wife. She didn't have such lofty spiritual pursuits, she just wanted her man to be safe and sound.
Han Zhan's heart was in turmoil when he heard Song Ci crying. His hand holding the cigarette was a little unsteady. Sighing, Han Zhan looked at Song Ci helplessly and said pleadingly: "Don't cry, your crying makes me feel upset."
But Song Ci couldn't stop crying. Her tears just flowed as if she was acting.
But Song Ci was not acting today. She was really scared and worried.
Han Zhan waited until Song Ci calmed down before saying, "My former company commander, Song Lian, saved my life twice."
"He saved me twice, and he was injured twice. One bullet hit his left lung, and another hit his left shoulder. Song Ci, Song Lian, he's dead, his head was hung on the highest mountain in the riot area..."
