Chapter 138 The Vulture Reveals Its True Form, New and Old Hatreds!
These words silenced the entire cave.
Gu Beichen stared at his wife, stunned by the powerful aura emanating from her slender back.
The enemy agent leader looked up abruptly, his face filled with disbelief.
But the will to survive overwhelmed everything.
"Write! I'll write! I'll write right away!"
The battle ended quickly.
The remaining enemy agents were all disarmed and brought under control, and the list obtained at the cost of lives was firmly in Su Yue's hands.
Back at the temporary camp, the atmosphere was heavy and oppressive.
Su Yue was treating the wounded. She moved quickly and efficiently, bandaging and cleaning the wounds in an orderly manner.
While dealing with a comatose enemy agent, her fingers accidentally touched the agent's collar and she felt an unnatural bulge.
Without making a sound, she gently cut open the sutures with a scalpel blade and pulled out a tiny roll of film smaller than a fingernail.
Su Yue clenched the film in her hand expressionlessly and continued to treat her wound, as if nothing had happened.
Just then, Gu Beichen strode over, still smelling of gunpowder and blood, his expression incredibly complex.
He lowered his voice and whispered something in Su Yue's ear that was enough to cause a huge uproar.
"Yueyue, among the prisoners we captured, there is one whose identity is very special."
"He is a survivor of the 'Lone Eagle' squad more than 20 years ago!"
Su Yue's hand suddenly stopped moving.
Lone Eagle!
survivor!
She suddenly looked up at Gu Beichen. The two looked at each other and saw an indescribable solemnity and a determination to uncover the truth in each other's eyes.
We are only one step away from uncovering the truth of what happened back then.
The makeshift interrogation room was dimly lit.
The old man named Zhao Weiguo was nearly seventy years old. His face was full of vicissitudes, and although the wounds on his body were not serious, he exuded an air of impending death.
He huddled in the chair, his eyes filled with wariness and mixed emotions as he looked at Su Yue.
Su Yue didn't rush to ask questions. As a doctor, she first treated Zhao Weiguo's wounds.
Her movements were very light and gentle.
"Sir, don't be afraid, it's just a superficial injury, it will heal soon."
Under Su Yue's gentle and professional care, Zhao Weiguo's tense body gradually relaxed.
His cloudy eyes scanned the excessively young and beautiful female doctor in front of him, and for some reason, he felt a strange sense of familiarity.
After treating his wound, Su Yue poured him a cup of hot water.
"Old sir, could you tell me about what happened back then?"
Zhao Weiguo's hand holding the water glass trembled violently.
"What happened back then...it's all in the past..."
Su Yue looked at him, her voice soft yet firm: "There is no past. The blood of heroes cannot be shed in vain, and the crimes of traitors must be punished."
"Do you know Huo Shouzhen? His code name is Lone Eagle."
The words "Lone Eagle" were like a key, instantly unlocking the floodgates of Zhao Weiguo's memories that had been sealed for more than twenty years.
His cloudy eyes instantly filled with tears, and his hand holding the water glass trembled even more violently, spilling hot water all over the floor.
"team leader……"
"The captain isn't a traitor! He's a hero!!"
Zhao Weiguo suddenly broke down in tears, his aged voice filled with endless pain and regret.
Under the watchful eyes of Su Yue and Gu Beichen, he began to recount, haltingly, the buried bloody past.
"The supply escort mission back then was a trap from the very beginning!"
"There's a traitor in our ranks! Codename 'Vulture'!"
"It was him! He leaked our marching route in advance, causing us to be ambushed by the enemy!"
Zhao Weiguo burst into tears, slamming his fist hard against his leg.
"That battle was too tragic... Brothers fell one by one..."
"Finally, it was the captain, Captain Huo Shouzhen! In order to protect the box containing the most important intelligence, he ordered me to take the supplies and evacuate through the secret passage first!"
"He...he stayed behind alone to cover the retreat, and he perished together with the pursuing enemy..."
The old man's cries echoed in the small interrogation room, each word a tearful lament.
"The captain isn't a traitor! He risked his life to protect that intelligence that was crucial to the safety of the entire war zone! It's my fault! It's my fault!"
"I escaped with the intelligence, but was framed as a traitor and spent more than 20 years on the run..."
His testimony perfectly matched the erased name that Su Yue found in the archives and the information on her father's map!
The wrongful conviction of "Lone Eagle" has finally been confirmed by direct eyewitness testimony!
Su Yue's heart was struck hard. It turned out that her biological father, whom she had never met, was such a great hero.
Zhao Weiguo suddenly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes filled with deep-seated hatred.
"Later I found out that that beast Su Guohua had already tricked the captain's girlfriend into marrying him several years before the mission! I was furious and went to confront him, but that heartless bastard actually tried to kill me to silence me!"
"He first gained Miss Chen's trust, and then, using some unknown means, forced Shuting to marry him!"
"That beast! In order to climb the social ladder, he even... he even wanted to personally send his own wife to another man's bed!"
These words struck Su Yueru like a thunderbolt. She never expected the truth to be like this, and she never expected that Su Guohua had just plotted against "Lone Eagle".
It turns out that the root of the vague pain in my mother's diary was right here.
Su Guohua, the man she had called "father" for over twenty years, turned out to be such a despicable and shameless scoundrel!
Suppressing the turmoil in her heart, Su Yue took out the miniature film from her pocket.
"Sir, I have something here that might help you remember who the traitor is."
Using simple equipment, she projected the contents of the film onto the white wall opposite.
On the wall, a list and some transaction records were clearly displayed.
Zhao Weiguo's breathing became rapid instantly, and he stared intently at the names on the wall.
Suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply, his withered fingers trembled as he pointed to one of the names, and he roared out with all his might.
"It's him!"
"That's him! He's 'Vulture'!"
All eyes turned to the direction he was pointing.
That name was none other than—
Qian Guodong!
The deputy director of the logistics department, that conservative deputy director Qian who had been making things difficult for Su Yue in the military region!
It turns out he was the biggest cancer that had been lurking for over twenty years!
The truth has come out!
All the clues came together at that moment!
Gu Beichen acted decisively and immediately reported all the evidence and testimonies to the military region headquarters via encrypted radio.
"Immediately detain Qian Guodong and all his associates! Seal off the Logistics Department's archives!"
A purge storm sweeping across the entire island military region is about to begin.
Su Yue stared coldly at the familiar name on the wall.
She recalled the various difficulties that Deputy Director Qian had made for the pharmaceutical factory, and his disdain and mockery of the military wives.
It turns out that it wasn't just a difference in opinions.
That was deliberate sabotage, a premeditated attack from the enemy!
New grudges, old hatreds.
Su Yue slowly clenched her fist.
Qian Guodong, it's time to settle our accounts properly!
