Chapter 690 The Past
Chen Chuan's eyes narrowed. He gave birth to offspring with the being opposite him?
At this moment he felt the complexity of the matter.
He had never heard before that humans could reproduce with the opposite existence, and there was no relevant record in the Ministry of Defense and the Processing Bureau.
He didn't know whether the higher-ups knew about this, but if such news were to be spread, it would be enough to cause a huge stir around the world and have a strong impact on many people who knew about it.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that when Chang Dong mentioned that target before, he only said that the person violated the ideas and rules of the Purists, but he did not know the specific situation.
If this is the reason, I can understand why he concealed it without explaining it, and it is indeed necessary.
He looked at Tian Rui and asked, "Senior Tian, how did you know about this? And how did you confirm it?"
Tian Rui revealed a look of reminiscence and said, "In the past, the branch was jointly managed by the team leader and the deputy team leader Gui. The team leader was very young, about the same age as me, but his fighting ability was the best in the branch, and we were all convinced by what he said.
Deputy team leader Gui is the oldest and most experienced. He always makes reasonable suggestions and the team members are very cooperative.
At that time, the branch was thriving and everyone was very active. Although we often had conflicts with the Fusion Faction, the Refinement Faction and many other forces during the execution of our missions, with the two team leaders leading us, all of us had the confidence to overcome every difficulty.
The old minister also said that he would be replaced by the team leader, and everyone agreed and supported it. Once..."
When he said those words before, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he seemed to be immersed in the beautiful memories, but at this moment, an uneasy look suddenly appeared on his face.
"When we returned from a relatively important mission, there was a young woman by the team leader's side. The faction doesn't interfere with the personal lives of its members, so no one said anything. But I remember that six months after this woman appeared, the team leader and she had a child. At first, none of us cared much.
But, but, we didn’t expect…”
He held his legs tightly, his breathing becoming somewhat rapid. "Deputy Team Leader Gui accidentally discovered that this woman had been possessed by a certain being on the other side..."
Chen Chuan listened quietly, his eyes fixed. If this were true, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the members of the branch at that time.
Because this kind of thing is absolutely intolerable to the purists whose mission is to eliminate the existence of the opposite party, and the person who committed the crime is their superior who they live with and love day and night, which is probably even more difficult to accept.
Tian Rui bent down at this time, clenched his fists and said, "I remember it very clearly. It was the night of August 5th. It was raining heavily and the thunder outside was very loud.
Deputy Team Leader Gui called all of us together and told us that the team leader had violated some rules and that he was definitely colluding with the other side. He also mentioned the child...
At that time, apart from some core members, only I and other ordinary members knew about this.
At that time, none of us could believe that the team leader would do such a thing, and asked if it was a mistake.
And we have all seen that child, he looks no different from ordinary people.
Deputy Team Leader Kegui said that he had clear evidence and had reported it to the headquarters, and also presented the response from the headquarters on the same day.
After repeated confirmation, everyone confirmed the authenticity of this matter..."
His voice became subdued. "We were all very depressed at the time. Deputy Team Leader Gui said that this kind of thing was intolerable and a mistake that must be corrected. To uphold the ideals of the Purists, we decided to carry out the order from headquarters: arrest the team leader immediately and eliminate that person... and that child as well..."
Having said this, he seemed to have entered the state he was in at that time. He remained silent for a long time, his body trembling slightly.
Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "Senior Tian, what happened next? Please tell us more in detail."
"Okay, okay," Tian Rui seemed to have realized. "In order to prevent the team leader from escaping after learning the news, Deputy Team Leader Gui decided to take action as soon as possible. In the end, it was decided that most of the combatants in our branch would participate in this clearing operation. Deputy Team Leader Gui also told us that the superiors would also send people to help us.
And according to the time, the people were almost there.
Because I was the weakest, the deputy team leader did not assign me to the specific operation, but asked me to go to the team leader's house to deal with the child who was being taken care of by the nanny.
But……"
He lowered his head and said, "When I got there and saw the child, I really couldn't bring myself to do it...
Because he is really just an ordinary child and should not be involved.
At that time, I really didn't have the courage or the heart to do that, so I chose to take the child away and hide him somewhere, preparing to explain to the branch office later. I would accept any punishment at that time.
But when I found a place to settle the child and hurried back, I saw... all the dead bodies..."
At this point, he suddenly hugged his head, as if immersed in deep self-blame, and said painfully and choked: "I killed them. If I had arrived earlier, perhaps the result would have been different."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "I don't know the specific details of the battle, but considering the force displayed by that person at that time, even if you, Senior Tian, really arrived, it might not be able to resolve the situation."
"No, it's not."
Tian Rui raised his head and said in a hoarse voice, "I can tell him that the child has been dealt with. This might shake the team leader's spirit, and the outcome might be different."
Chen Chuan didn't think that a fighter's spirit would be shaken so easily, but he was not involved in the matter and it was difficult for him to comment on it.
He thought for a moment and asked, "You said you hid the child. Then you probably didn't get rid of the child afterwards. So, is the child still there?"
Tian Rui stammered, "I..."
Chen Chuan continued, "This happened fifteen years ago. Based on the clues you provided, the child was about sixteen or seventeen years old..." He looked at Tian Rui, "He is your son Tian Wo, right?"
Tian Rui raised his head and looked at him in shock.
Chen Chuan nodded, "Now I can be sure."
Tian Rui opened his mouth wide, then suddenly became frustrated. He lowered his head and said, "I know, I always mess things up..."
He pleaded, "Mr. Chen, the child is innocent. Look at him now, he's just like a normal person. He's never done anything out of the ordinary since he was little. He's really, over the years, I... he's not that kind of person..."
Seeing that he was emotional and incoherent, Chen Chuan said, "How to deal with him? Let's put the matter aside for now. So, was it because of this child that you disappeared for fifteen years?"
Tian Rui said in a trembling voice: "In fact, all the teammates in the branch were dead at that time. I was very angry and thought about going back to get rid of the child. But when I returned to the hiding place and took him out, the child was smiling at me. At that time, I was thinking, he is so young, what does this have to do with him? He doesn't understand anything.
I really can't do it, I can't face those dead friends, and I don't want my children to face the subsequent reckoning..."
He said dejectedly: "I can only choose to leave and hide."
Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "It seems that person found you later."
Tian Rui shuddered and gritted his teeth as he said, "Yes, the team leader came to see me. Because I saved his child, the team leader didn't do anything to me. He even came to express his gratitude to me and said that he would remember this favor for the rest of his life."
He suddenly burst into anger and shouted, "But I don't want his mercy at all! Damn the favors! Can he let us all live?!
I spit at him and cursed him with the most unpleasant words, but he didn't get angry at all. I rushed to fight him and wanted him to kill me so that I could be like everyone else.
But it’s no use, everything I do is in vain…”
He put his hands in his hair and laughed, as if mocking his own powerlessness, his eyes full of tears. "I'm no match for him. In front of him, I can't even muster up the courage to commit suicide."
He panted, leaning back in his chair, his eyes empty. "Later, I gave up all my persistence. I didn't want to think about these things anymore, nor did I dare to think about them. I just thought it was a nightmare. I had surgery to change my appearance, and I just thought of myself as another person..."
Chen Chuan looked at him leaning there helplessly, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Didn't that man take the child away afterwards?"
Tian Rui slowly shook his head and said, “He seemed to have ignored this matter, and I didn’t say anything to him.
In the following years, he kept coming over to tell me about the training camp and even tried to recruit me, but I ignored him. When Xiao Wo got older, he still came often to teach Xiao Wo some fighting techniques, but he came less often later. In recent years, I have hardly seen him. Only the instructors from the training camp would occasionally bring me some things.
Chen Chuan asked, "When was the last time he came?"
"Five years ago."
Tian Rui said: "I remember it very clearly. My youngest son Xiaolei had just been born at that time."
"Five years ago..."
Chen Chuan thought about it and, judging from the previous situation, the man had been coming here frequently and should value his son very much.
Even though instructors from the camp were sent here later, they haven't shown up in the past few years. It's probably not because they are too busy. It's not that they haven't shown up at all. It's very likely that they can't come here for some reason.
He guessed that this was probably because...this person became a fighter during that time.
Because once a fighter arrives in the central city, it will definitely cause various reactions. It is very likely for this reason that he can no longer show up casually.
