"My dear grandson, you have suffered a lot outside." Grandma Liang held Xiao Chen's hand with heartache.
"Come with me to the northwest for a while. Your uncle will definitely like you very much."
"Grandma, don't you want to stay in Yanjing and stay with us?" Xiao Chen asked in confusion.
"My home is there. Over the years, I've gotten used to the scenery beyond the Great Wall, the vast yellow sand, and the lonely smoke in the desert."
The old lady said leisurely, "So, in my eyes, the prosperity of Yanjing has become like a floating duckweed."
"I'm afraid I won't be used to living in Yanjing."
"Then grandma has to stay here for a while, at least until our family is reunited." Xiao Chen said seriously.
"Okay, grandma will listen to you and stay here for a while." Grandma Liang stroked Xiao Chen's head.
"I heard that you have a Grandma Wu. Was she the one who raised you since you were a child?"
"Yes, without her, there would be no me today." Xiao Chen nodded.
"Then I have to go to Jiangcheng in person to visit her and thank her for taking such good care of my grandson." Grandma Liang sighed.
"I'll bring her to Yanjing so you can meet her and get to know each other." Xiao Chen smiled slightly.
"That's even better. I must meet her." Grandma Liang smiled slightly.
Just then, a Bentley drove over and stopped beside the two of them.
As soon as the door opened, Wen Yi and Wen Wan got out of the car.
Wen Yi saw the old lady and hurried over to greet her: "Mom, the northwest is so far away, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming?"
"It's okay, I can still hold on. If I don't see Xiao Wanli, I will always feel uncomfortable in my heart." The old lady said with a smile.
"The timing is perfect. If it were any later, Xiao Wanli would have been taken away."
"Auntie, Xiao Wanli was sent to the hospital." Wen Wan said.
"I saw it, he deserved it." Grandma Liang said calmly: "After a lifetime of evil, this ending is reasonable."
"The doctor gave a diagnosis. It's a cerebral hemorrhage caused by a stroke. The person won't die, but he will be paralyzed in bed for the rest of his life." Wen Wan felt that the breath in her chest was finally smooth.
"Okay, how he turned out has nothing to do with me anymore." Grandma Liang held Wen Yi's hand: "Wen Yi, it hasn't been easy for you these years."
"When Xiao Gucheng comes back, I will definitely teach him a lesson."
"Goodbye, Mom. He has always felt guilty about what happened back then. I'm glad he's back safely now. Our family reunion is the most important thing. Let the rest be in the past."
"Okay, let's go back first." Grandma Liang smiled and nodded gently.
"Sister, please accompany your aunt back first. Xiao Chen and I still have some things to deal with." Wen Wan said with a smile.
"Okay, you guys go, Xiao Chen. Come back quickly after you finish your work and talk to grandma more." Wen Yi looked at Xiao Chen.
"Okay, Mom. I'll be back as soon as I finish my work." Xiao Chen nodded.
Wen Yi and the old lady left in the car together. Xiao Chen turned his head and looked at Wen Wan: "Aunt, what's the matter?"
After the two left, Wenwan's expression gradually became gloomy.
She turned her head and looked at Xiao Chen: "Come with me to Wu Ming's place."
"Is there any news about my dad?" Xiao Chen's first reaction was this.
Wen Wan nodded gently: "Yes, but it may not have a good result, so I haven't let your mother and the old lady know for the time being."
"You must also be mentally prepared."
Xiao Chen's heart sank. He had been vaguely worried since there had been no news from Xiao Gucheng for such a long time.
The more you worry about something, the more it will come.
Without saying a word, he got in the car and went to Wu Ming's place with Wen Wan.
Wu Ming received the two people, but his face looked a little unhappy. He took them to an office.
"Uncle Wu, what happened to my dad? Just tell me directly." Xiao Chen asked.
Wu Ming sighed and patted Xiao Chen on the shoulder: "Xiao Chen, you have to be mentally prepared for this matter."
Xiao Chen nodded slightly, he looked at Wu Ming, waiting for him to give an answer.
Wu Ming took out a document and handed it to Xiao Chen: "This is a call from the border defense force."
"Your father arrived at the border on the afternoon of the 7th, but a group of people behind him refused to let go."
"In order to cover the retreat of our comrades and to ensure that the intelligence we obtained was delivered to the country in a timely manner, your father stayed behind to cover our retreat."
"Because the enemy was too numerous and Xiao Gucheng was exhausted after fighting for many days, at the last moment, he requested the outpost command to cover his area with artillery fire."
Xiao Chen's face changed drastically. He took the information from Wu Ming's hand and read it several times.
The information was sent yesterday. It only has a few words, but from the words you can tell how sad it is.
Father, most likely he is gone.
Xiao Chen tightly grasped the information in his hand, his fist turning blue.
"Where is Xiao Gucheng's body? It was covered by artillery fire. Could it be that it was blown to pieces?" Wen Wan asked.
"There were twelve of them, one of whom was a mutant. Ten minutes after the artillery fire began, the outpost command sent a helicopter to search for them."
"Xiao Gucheng's body was not found at the scene. Later, border defense troops were sent to search along the river below all the way to the border, but nothing was found," said Wu Ming.
"Is that person dead or not?" Wen Wan was a little surprised.
"I really can't answer you on this matter." Wu Ming smiled bitterly, "The response from the outpost command post is to see the person alive or the body dead."
"We have mobilized a lot of manpower and material resources to search for him, but there has been no result so far."
"What I mean is, the body was not found, right?" Xiao Chen calmed down and asked after he regained his composure.
"Yes, your father's body has not been found, so the current official classification is missing." Wu Ming nodded slightly.
He hesitated for a moment. "But with such dense artillery fire, even someone with skin of steel wouldn't be able to survive."
"I understand. Thank you, Uncle Wu." Xiao Chen nodded gently. He held the information in his hand and had already made up his mind.
"Don't spread this matter for now. I'm afraid my mother will worry."
"So what are your plans next?" Wu Ming asked.
"I'll go find him." Xiao Chen said seriously, "You told me what his main mission was this time."
"The place he was last seen in is very close to overseas, so I want to try my luck in the Jinsanpo area."
"Are you trying to kill yourself?" Wen Wan frowned, "That's Jinsanpo, a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones."
"Your father is currently in a critical condition, if something happens to you, how will your mother survive?"
"Well, I'll have someone contact the people over there, form a team, and sneak in to look for them." Wen Wan thought, "This is more reliable."
