Chapter 86 On the day of triumph, Ye Jingchi disappeared
Li Ying realized that everyone seemed to be hiding something from her. Bad images emerged in her mind and her body wanted to fall uncontrollably.
Jing Yingyan subconsciously reached out to support her, and when Li Ying stood firmly, he quickly let go of her hand with a serious expression.
"Ye Jingchi is missing."
Li Ying had thought of thousands of bad things, but she never expected Ye Jingchi to disappear.
"I went to look for his unit, but he wasn't there. His guard said he left alone after arranging the troops. Now his unit is led by someone else, and Ye Jingchi is missing."
Jing Yingyan looked at Li Ying's calm face and really wanted to reach out and hug her, but he held back.
"If you want to cry, just cry. Don't hold it in. It's not good for your health."
Li Ying shook her head slightly, a smile forming at the corner of her lips.
"Missing means he's still alive."
Li Ying comforted herself.
Jing Yingyan laughed at himself: "These days, I have been thinking about how to tell you this. Now it seems that I was overthinking it. You are stronger than I thought!"
Li Ying smiled bitterly. She was strong only because she didn't love Ye Jingchi enough. She didn't love him enough, so she was very rational and calm about his life and death.
"Thank you for telling me this, Master Jing. I'm a little tired and want to take a rest."
Li Ying walked into the room.
Zhou Qi took Heihei into the yard and greeted Jing Yingyan.
"Master Jing, OK!"
Jing Yingyan saw the well-trained black dog Zhou Qi was holding and asked, "Did you buy it?"
"No, it was sent by Tong Danian. The hunting dogs he trained are pretty good, aren't they?" Zhou Qi praised sincerely.
"It shouldn't be Tong Danian's idea."
Jing Yingyan knew Tong Danian too well. That kid didn’t have that kind of brains. It should be Ye Jingchi.
He is back!
"Captain Ye asked Officer Tong to send him over to guard Miss Ying." Zhou Qi mentioned Captain Ye all the time, not wanting Captain Ye to be forgotten.
Jing Yingyan squatted down and reached out to stroke the black dog's strong body.
"It's well-raised."
Ye Jingchi has liked raising dogs since he was a child. Because of raising dogs, he was beaten to pieces by Tang Qiao. In order to protect a stray dog, he even ran away from home with the dog, lived and ate with the dog, and wandered outside for a month before being found and brought home.
He didn't believe that Tong Danian could raise a dog so well, except for Ye Jingchi.
"Have you seen Captain Ye recently?"
Zhou Qi shook his head: "Didn't Captain Ye join the Self-Defense Force?"
Jing Yingyan guessed something and smiled.
Maybe Ye Jingchi deliberately avoided him and didn't want to see him.
After the Chinese New Year, February passes and March begins.
Li Ying woke up early and heard Tian Li and Zhou Qi talking in the yard.
"Does that mean the whole team is back?"
"Yes, we're all back! My sister and I are going to deliver steamed buns to the soldiers who have returned victoriously. Do you want to go? Ask Sister Yingying if she wants to go too."
Zhou Qi thought of Ye Jingchi and nodded heavily: "Go, go, Captain Ye must be back too."
Li Ying opened the door and walked out.
Tian Li hurried forward to support Li Ying. Her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and it was very inconvenient for her to move.
"Sister Yingying, my sister made a lot of buns to send to the soldiers returning victoriously. Do you want to go?" Tian Lixing said hurriedly.
"Well, I'll go with you."
Li Ying couldn't describe her mood. She wanted to know if Ye Jingchi was okay, but she didn't want to know what happened to Ye Jingchi. She felt very conflicted.
Li Ying and Tian Lixian went to the bun shop and followed Tian Bingbing to deliver buns to the army.
When they arrived, Hua Qingqing was representing the drama troupe to express her condolences to the soldiers and some comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Hua Qingqing saw Li Ying and came over.
"You're here too?"
"Well, Tian Li and I will deliver some buns to the soldiers."
Hua gently pulled Li Ying aside and said after some hesitation, "Yingying, I just came here to ask about Ye Jingchi. His team is now led by Captain Fu, and Ye Jingchi is missing."
"Did he disappear after the victory, or before the battle?"
"It disappeared after the victory." Hua Qingqing asked clearly.
Because she came here with Ye Wenchi, and Ye Jingchi is Ye Wenchi's younger brother, she would naturally tell Ye Wenchi about Ye Jingchi's affairs as soon as possible.
Hua Qingqing only then realized that Ye Jingchi was missing.
"What do you think happened to him? He won the battle, but now he's gone?" Hua Qingqing was puzzled.
Li Ying knew why. The toxins in Ye Jingchi's body must not have been completely cleared away, and he was afraid that he would scare her when he appeared.
"It's okay, he must have his own things to do."
Here, Tian Bingbing and Tian Li were distributing buns to the soldiers.
"The gift may be small but the thought is great. Please don't despise it." Tian Bingbing is much more cheerful than before.
"How could that be? The Tian family's bun shop is a century-old shop. They make the best buns I've ever eaten!"
"Yes, I've been eating at Tian's Baozi Shop since I was a kid. If I don't eat there, I'll miss it."
Everyone was talking and eating with gusto.
Tian Bingbing carried the steamer to another team.
I came across several leaders talking.
Tian Bingbing saw a familiar figure in the crowd, paused, then quickly regained composure and continued distributing buns to the soldiers.
"The buns were sent from Tian's Bun Shop as a token of comfort to the soldiers." Commander Yan said with a smile.
Ye Wenchi frowned slightly, his eyes fell on Tian Bingbing, and then he looked away.
"This triumphant victory will enhance our country's prestige and there will be fewer conflicts on the border in the future." Ye Wenchi spoke a lot of official language.
"It's a pity that Ye Jingchi didn't come back. He was brave and resourceful in this battle. Many battle plans came from him. I don't know why, but he disappeared when victory was just around the corner." Commander Yan felt very sorry.
He is very optimistic about Ye Jingchi.
"Master Yan, do you know why my brother is missing?" Ye Wenchi asked.
"I asked Captain Fu, and he said Captain Ye seemed to have injured his arm. We don't know what the injury is. What a pity!"
Ye Wenchi fell into deep thought.
At the gate of the Ye family.
Tang Qiao supported Grandma Ye and her family and stood at the gate waiting for Ye Jingchi to return triumphantly. They waited for a whole morning, but Ye Jingchi did not show up.
"Why hasn't he come back yet?" Grandma Ye looked around anxiously.
Ye Jingchi’s name is not on the list of casualties, which means that his grandson is alive and well. According to his ability, he will definitely be praised.
But what’s going on? The neighbors have sent a plaque to her home, so why hasn’t her Ye Jingchi come back yet?
Not long after, Ye Wenchi's car came back.
Everyone gathered around.
"Wen Chi, where is your brother?"
Ye Wenchi frowned, and after a long while he slowly said, "I don't know why, but Jingchi is gone."
"Gone?" Grandma Ye looked confused.
"Second brother, what does it mean that third brother is missing?" Ye Zhonghong asked.
Ye Wenchi's face was filled with grief: "Before going to the battlefield, Jingchi injured his arm, but he didn't tell us. Now I don't know if his injury has relapsed. He didn't want us to be sad, so he hid himself."
