Chapter 182 Thorough Investigation
"What? Who? You said someone...who died?"
Gu Yanxiao stood there, stunned, hardly believing what she was hearing.
Second brother?
How could my second brother be dead?
Could it be...?
America...
expert……
His heart clenched as he thought of those key words.
At the same time, Shao Zijie's words reached his ears: "Commander, Su Xiangbei... is the leader on that ship. These experts are all from the Su family in America..."
Shao Zijie relayed what Su Xiangbei had said to him.
Upon hearing that Su Xiangbei had pulled the grenade off Shao Zijie's body, pushed Shao Zijie off the boat at the crucial moment, and then detonated the grenade himself, perishing together with the enemy, he was deeply moved.
Gu Yanxiao's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and he buried his face in his hands.
Who says men don't easily shed tears? It's just that they haven't reached the point of heartbreak yet.
Hot tears streamed from between his fingers, one drop after another, dripping onto his legs.
Water stains appeared...
"Commander, punish me! I failed to protect Second Brother Su. I'm the one who should die, it's me who should be..."
Seeing Gu Yanxiao like this, Shao Zijie felt an overwhelming sense of guilt.
Upon hearing Shao Zijie's words, Gu Yanxiao forced herself to pull herself out of her grief and asked, "You just said that after your second brother pushed you off the boat, he detonated a grenade himself?"
“Yes…” Shao Zijie nodded, his face pale.
"Where is it? Tell me the exact location!"
Gu Yanxiao took a deep breath to calm herself down.
He also had to calm down and not let himself be controlled by his sadness.
I want to see him alive or dead.
My second brother is a hero; no matter what, I have to go and bring him back.
Even if it's just a scrap of clothing, I must bring it back!
Shao Zijie naturally understood what Gu Yanxiao wanted to do, and immediately reported the location of the destroyed ship without hesitation.
"Commander, I'll go with you!"
As Shao Zijie spoke, he began to get out of bed.
"You'd better lie down quietly!"
Gu Yanxiao knew very well that Shao Zijie's shoulder had been punched through, and his arm was still in a sling!
Going there would only cause trouble, as for myself...
As long as he's not dead!
With this in mind, Gu Yanxiao quickly returned to her room, changed out of her hospital gown, and prepared to leave.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Huo Chang'an blocking the entrance.
Dr. Chen stood helplessly to the side, wiping away cold sweat.
Fortunately, Chief Huo arrived in time; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to do anything about Gu Yanxiao.
"What are you doing? Lie back down!"
Huo Chang'an looked at Gu Yanxiao with a cold expression.
God knows how terrified he was after learning that Gu Yanxiao was covered in injuries and had fainted from blood loss.
This was a fierce general he had finally managed to regain after losing him.
If anything were to happen, it would be a huge loss for the entire military region.
"Commander, I have a reason to go, please don't stop me!" Gu Yanxiao's eyes were bloodshot, but his eyes held an unyielding determination.
Seeing his expression, Huo Chang'an choked for a moment, then said helplessly, "Tell me what you need to do, and I'll send someone to do it. As long as it's not illegal or against regulations, I'll definitely get it done for you!"
Gu Yanxiao believed that Huo Chang'an was telling the truth.
But at this moment, he was unwilling to believe anyone; he only believed in himself!
If he doesn't go in person today, how can he face Su Xiangwan? And how can he face the Su family in the future?
"Indeed, there is something that requires your attention, Commander!"
Gu Yanxiao's face was icy, his eyes sharp: "Our mission this time must have been leaked, which caused such huge losses. I need an explanation from the organization! An explanation for the comrades who sacrificed their lives in this mission! An explanation for the experts who traveled thousands of miles to serve the country!"
Upon hearing Gu Yanxiao's words, Huo Chang'an's expression changed drastically, and his gaze towards him became serious: "Alright, I'll go investigate right away, but you..."
"I know what I'm doing, and I must go there in person today!"
That was his savior, his wife's second brother. If he didn't go in person, he would never forgive himself!
Huo Chang'an realized that it was impossible to keep Gu Yanxiao today, so he could only summon two people to escort him away.
He returned to the military region with a gloomy expression and immediately issued the highest military order to thoroughly investigate the leak of secrets related to this mission.
Gu Yanxiao sat in the back seat of the car. The driver drove very steadily, maintaining speed while trying not to bump into him, who was covered in injuries.
Even so, blood still seeped through the gauze on Gu Yanxiao's body, clearly because the wounds that had just been stitched up had been torn open again by the jolting.
However, at this moment, Gu Yanxiao seemed to feel no pain, and closed his eyes with a numb expression.
Shao Zijie's words filled my mind.
Su Erge detonated a grenade, taking the enemy with him in a fatal attack...
Because she was engaged to Gu Yanxiao when they were young.
Therefore, he was not unfamiliar with the Su Xiangnan and Su Xiangbei brothers.
Compared to Su Xiangnan, who had learned martial arts and shooting, he would occasionally spar with him.
Su Xiangbei was quiet and perfectly fit the image of a young master from a prestigious family, aloof and noble, just like the "jade-like gentleman in the world" described in those novels.
Sometimes, even when Gu Yanxiao appeared in front of Su Xiangbei covered in sweat, he had a feeling that he might have accidentally offended this noble and unworldly young master.
Who could have imagined that such a scion of a prominent family would one day detonate a grenade and perish together with his enemies?
What were Su Xiangbei's feelings at that time?
Born into the Su family, the richest family in Shanghai, he could have lived a life of luxury and ease in the United States, untouched by worldly concerns.
Now, however, in order to escort these experts back to their home country, they have embarked on such a difficult and dangerous path...
"Commander, we've reached the seaside!"
Just then, the young soldier's voice came.
Gu Yanxiao opened his bloodshot eyes, got out of the car, boarded the boat that was already prepared there, and headed towards the place Shao Zijie had mentioned.
Unfortunately, after one night, the already battered ship had vanished without a trace, clearly having sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Seeing this, Gu Yanxiao did not hesitate to take off his clothes and start diving into the sea.
"Commander!"
Upon seeing this, the two young soldiers standing nearby were terrified and quickly stopped him.
"Commander, no! Your wounds are still bleeding, and the weather is so cold. If someone were to enter... they would probably be long gone by now..."
In this kind of weather, if a division commander covered in wounds were to jump into the sea to search for someone, he would probably lose his life before even finding the person!
