Chapter 284 The Shocking Truth

What secret is this? Why are you pouring it all out at once?

Su Mei noticed the trembling in Huo Jianguo's palm.

"No, we won't listen for now. Let's talk about it after a few days when you feel better, okay?" She was really afraid that he already had health problems, and if he suffered another blow, he would fall seriously ill.

People who rarely get sick can become seriously ill when they do.

Especially for people like Huo Jianguo who have been engaged in high-intensity work for a long time,

Although he looks strong and healthy, he actually has a lot of hidden pain in his body.

She took Huo Jianguo's hand and tried to pull him back to the ward.

But Huo Jianguo grabbed Su Mei instead.

He was so strong that it hurt Su Mei's wrist, but she didn't let go.

"What exactly do you mean? Explain it clearly!" Huo Jianguo looked at Huo Fugui and asked.

Huo Fuguiteng was not available to speak.

Because Liu Cuiyun was punching and kicking like crazy, she was trying to stop Huo Fugui from speaking.

Seeing Huo Jianguo insisting on knowing the truth now, Su Mei sighed.

She walked up to Liu Cuiyun and threw out a few silver needles, causing Liu Cuiyun to faint.

"Dad, go ahead!" After Su Mei finished speaking, she walked back to Huo Jianguo.

She took out a bottle of medicine, took out a pill and fed it to Huo Jianguo, "Be good and swallow it."

That medicine is a heart-saving pill.

Su Mei bought it for Huo Jianguo after examining him and confirming that he had a mild myocardial infarction.

Huo Jianguo didn't ask any questions, he just chewed it up and swallowed it obediently.

Jiuxin Pills are a traditional Chinese medicine with a bitter taste, but Huo Jianguo felt nothing when he took them.

Compared to the taste of the medicine, the bitterness in his heart was even greater.

Seeing Liu Cuiyun fallen asleep on the chair, Huo Fugui sighed and then told her the whole truth of that year.

It turns out that Huo Jianguo's biological mother Liang Shan was an underground party member when she was young.

Because he was lurking in the enemy's camp and provided the party with many confidential clues, he was hunted down by enemy spies left in the country after he was exposed.

When Huo Jianguo was born, Liang Shan was visiting the family of a fallen comrade in his hometown.

She planned to go to Shanghai to give birth after visiting the military families.

Unexpectedly, before she set off for Shanghai, her stomach started to flare up prematurely. Huo Jianguo's father had no choice but to send Liang Shan to the local town hospital.

When the baby was being born in the town hospital, a group of enemy spies surrounded the hospital.

In order to escape and to keep Huo Jianguo alive, Huo Jianguo's father had to reluctantly give Huo Jianguo away.

It happened that Liu Cuiyun was also giving birth in the town hospital at the time. She had seizures at home for many days and had not given birth to the baby, so she was sent to the hospital. When the baby was taken out of the hospital, it was already dead.

After losing her child, Liu Cuiyun hid in the stairwell and cried alone. While she was crying, she was bumped into by Huo Jianguo's father.

Thinking that Liu Cuiyun had just lost her child and would probably love the child, Huo Jianguo's father took out the only hundred yuan he had left and entrusted Huo Jianguo to Liu Cuiyun.

Then Huo Jianguo's father took Liang Shan and escaped by disguising themselves as old men.

At that time, Huo Jianguo's father deceived Liang Shan, saying that he would find a way to get the child back after he left.

After escaping from danger, Liang Shan found out that her child had been given away by her husband.

At that time, there were still many dangerous elements lurking in the country, and the couple faced assassination attempts at any time.

The car they were riding in exploded three times.

Although the couple survived, Huo Jianguo's father still felt that they were in danger. In order to better devote himself to the construction of New China, he decided to abandon the child.

But Liang Shan gave birth to Huo Jianguo at the age of 35. She was reluctant to give up because she had given birth to a child at such an advanced age.

So Liang Shan returned to the hospital without telling Huo Jianguo's father, found Liu Cuiyun, and wanted to take the child back.

Liu Cuiyun was young at that time and was afraid of hardship. She knew that breastfeeding a child did not require farming. Plus, she did not want to pay back the hundred yuan, so she was unwilling to return the child and had an argument with Liang Shan.

It happened that there were spies looking for Liang Shan at that time. Liu Cuiyun didn't know what she was thinking, but she stopped the spy who had asked her about Liang Shan and her husband before. She told the spy:

"The person you are looking for is right here with me. She is disguised as an old woman. Come and catch her."

When she heard this, Su Mei felt as if her heart was being gripped by a pair of invisible hands.

She couldn't imagine that Liu Cuiyun actually betrayed a biological mother in order to snatch her child away.

Huo Fugui continued:

"At that time, your mother...your dear mother, did not expect Liu Cuiyun to suddenly betray her, so after being betrayed, she was caught off guard and jumped out of the second-floor window in order to escape.

She broke her leg and was stuck downstairs, and the agents rushed to the window... and opened fire at the people downstairs, killing your mother."

The spies killed Liang Shan and then committed suicide one after another.

Everyone who knew the truth died in front of Liu Cuiyun.

Huo Fugui only learned the truth about Liang Shan's death many years later.

By that time, Huo Jianguo had grown into a man. He planned to join the army, but was stopped by Liu Cuiyun because Liu Cuiyun was afraid that after Huo Jianguo joined the army, he would meet his biological father.

At that time, Huo Fugui also advised Liu Cuiyun that it would be a good thing even if Huo Jianguo met his biological father. After all, his biological father must be in a high position and power now, and could give Huo Jianguo a better future.

But Liu Cuiyun was very hesitant. She had just confessed the truth about Liu Shan's death to Huo Fugui at that time. Liu Cuiyun was very afraid that Huo Jianguo would meet his biological father and bring up the incident of that year.

When he learned the truth, Huo Fugui was also shocked. He was shocked by the viciousness of the woman beside him who seemed timid and wiping tears at every turn.

But since Huo Jianguo was already 18 years old at that time, Huo Fugui already had deep feelings for him. He was afraid that Huo Jianguo would know the truth and cut off ties with the Huo family, so he did not tell Huo Jianguo the truth.

He just did his best to get Huo Jianguo to join the army.

If Liu Cuiyun hadn't become increasingly unreasonable, Huo Fugui would not have said this.

What a cruel, vicious, disgusting and outrageous truth.

Even Su Mei, an outsider, felt her hands and feet turn cold after hearing this.

So Liu Cuiyun gave up her job just to nurse her child and betrayed an underground party member who had been hiding underground for many years and had barely survived the victory of the Anti-Japanese War?

"I should have watched her die. Why should I save such a person?" Su Mei burst into tears. For the first time in her life, she doubted the theory of saving the dying and the wounded and treating everyone equally.

She thought Liu Cuiyun was just ignorant, domineering and aggressive.

But I didn't expect that this person was so cruel and vicious behind the scenes.

It's simply worse than animals.

What do you mean by equal treatment? Bullshit.

After hearing the whole story, Huo Jianguo seemed to have lost his soul and stood there in a daze.

Huo Jianguo couldn't tell what he was feeling. His eyes were fixed on the woman on the bench, but his pupils were dilated and out of focus.

Su Mei didn't know how to comfort him. It was really something that could not be comforted. She could only hug him tightly and stroke his back over and over again.

After a long time, Huo Jianguo finally burst into tears. He staggered to sit on another bench behind him, buried his face deep in Su Mei's waist, and asked with a sob: "Did I call the person who killed my biological mother "mother" for so many years?"

At first, Huo Jianguo just cried silently.

However, as the grief continued to surge in his heart, his body began to produce physiological reactions.

The feeling of nausea made him lower his head and vomit involuntarily.

During the vomiting process, his body gradually lost the strength to support itself.

Finally he fell to his knees and let out a series of heart-wrenching howls.
