The person shouting was a man who looked to be about thirty years old, wearing a navy blue Zhongshan suit.
Zheng Tiansen felt that this person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was.
"I'm Zheng Tiansen, who are you?"
After receiving his affirmation, the man patted his shoulder vigorously and said, "Well done, you have become a cadre now. I am your brother and comrade."
Zheng Tiansen suddenly realized and vaguely remembered that his brother had brought this person home.
"Are you, Brother Li?"
"Yes, yes, I am Wang Li."
In the teahouse, three people sat opposite each other.
"Alas, in the blink of an eye, many years have passed. You have become quite successful, your brother would never have thought."
When talking about his brother, Zheng Tiansen felt a little lonely.
"Brother Li, you actually still remember me."
“Hey, isn’t it because your brother often takes out your photos to look at them, that’s why I’m impressed by you.
"My photo?" Zheng Tiansen was surprised.
"Oh, it's not a solo photo of you. It's a group photo of you, your brother, and your brother's girlfriend."
Zheng Tiansen vaguely remembered that there seemed to be such a photo.
"By the way, what is your current position?" Wang Li asked curiously.
"I, the captain."
"Wow, that's awesome." Seeing Zheng Tiansen wearing a cadre uniform with four pockets, he already felt that Zheng Tiansen had developed well, but he didn't expect that he had become the regiment commander.
"Fortunately, I'm lucky."
"No matter how lucky you are, you still need strength. By the way, I haven't asked who this person is yet?" Wang Li glanced at the silent Linglong.
"This is my fiancée, Zhong Linglong. We're going to get married soon."
"It's a happy event, I wish you all the best. Alas, Tianlin back then, look at my mouth, why would I mention these things?" Wang Li quickly stopped talking.
"Brother Li, it's okay. Linglong knows it too."
Linglong smiled at Wang Li.
"Oh, your brother is real, what a pity." The bond between the two of them is Zheng Tianlin, and when they first meet, the topic cannot avoid him.
It was a rare opportunity to see Wang Li, so Zheng Tiansen didn't care whether he was sad or not.
"Brother Li, you and my brother had the best relationship in the army, right?"
"That's right, who can have a relationship as close as ours?"
"Brother Li, can you tell me about my brother?"
"What do you want to know?"
"Nothing, anything is fine."
"Is that so?" Wang Li was lost in memories.
"I don't know what happened to your brother before he went on that mission. He was in a bad mood and became very silent. He spoke less and lost some weight. I was really worried about him at the time. I asked him, but he didn't say anything. Now I think about it, I really regret it."
"Brother Li, are you saying that my brother was acting abnormally before the accident?" Zheng Tiansen asked anxiously.
"If you want to say something unusual, these should be considered. I didn't go on that mission. But later I heard them privately mention it when they came back. They said your brother was fearless and unafraid of death. In fact, he had a chance to survive, but he gave it to someone else."
Wang Li's eyes welled up when he mentioned this. "He's getting married soon."
He remembered the comrades who were rescued by Zheng Tianlin crying bitterly.
The guy kept blaming himself later, saying it was all his fault. He was an orphan with no relatives, so why should he risk his life to save him?
This was the first time Zheng Tiansen heard of this.
He and his family only knew that his eldest brother had an accident while on a mission, but they didn't expect that there were so many stories hidden behind it.
But, why did my eldest brother become silent and thin before that?
Zheng Tiansen wanted to check these.
The death of his eldest brother was an indelible pain for his whole family, and he didn't want his eldest brother to have any regrets.
"Brother Li, who else knows what you said?"
"Which ones do you mean?"
"Just, something was on my brother's mind before the accident."
"Well, a few of my comrades noticed something, but they don't know as much as I do. Tianlin didn't even tell me, so there's no way he'd tell them."
"Is it true that no one knows about this?" Zheng Tiansen said regretfully.
"Oh, there's another one. Your brother's fiancée, the one who plays the qin."
"Wang Meiqin."
"Yes, yes, that's her. If there's anyone else who knows your brother's secret secrets, I think it's her. Ever since your brother got engaged, he's been looking forward to getting married with a smile on his face every day. He'd send letters every week and even call whenever he had the chance. Oh, that made us jealous."
"So, Brother Li, was my brother still in contact with Wang Meiqin before the accident?"
"I think so. By the way, your brother read a letter and then ran out to make a phone call. After he came back, he started to change."
"Where is the letter now, Brother Li, do you know?"
"After Tianlin's accident, his belongings should have been given to your family. I don't know where Wu Xin is now."
Seeing that he could not get any more information from Wang Li, Zheng Tiansen exchanged contact information with him and said goodbye.
Now, he is anxious to return home to look for his brother's belongings.
Linglong is not stupid. She heard something from the conversation just now and naturally understood Zheng Tiansen's mood.
Even though there was someone following him and a lot of things were hanging on the bicycle, Zheng Tiansen still rode very fast.
When he got home, he didn't even bother to help Linglong get her things and rushed into the house.
"You came back pretty quickly. Where's Linglong?" Zeng Yu, who was sitting in the room, asked.
"Mom, where are my brother's belongings?" Zheng Tiansen looked at his mother and asked.
"Your brother's belongings?" Zeng Yu was stunned. "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"Mom, I have something to check. First, can you tell me where my eldest brother's belongings are?"
Although he still didn't know what was going on, Zeng Yu still stood up and said, "I've put away your brother's things."
As he spoke, Zeng Yu walked to the small room where his family stored things and took out a sealed cardboard box.
"Except for your brother's clothes, everything else is here."
Zheng Tiansen quickly opened the box and started searching inside.
"Tiansen, slow down." Zeng Yu couldn't help but moan.
Zheng Tiansen saw his brother's military medals, awards, and some certificates here, and he was looking for the letter.
When I saw a stack, I quickly took them out and read the covers one by one.
"Tiansen, what are you looking for?" Zeng Yu frowned.
"A letter." Zheng Tiansen continued to read with his head down.
Linglong had already entered the room and walked to Zeng Yu's side and whispered.
After listening to Linglong's story, Zeng Yu finally understood why Zheng Tiansen rushed back to look for the letter, and at the same time, his hands hanging by his side clenched.
So, Tianlin's death wasn't entirely due to the mission or an accident? Was there something else going on?
At this time, Zheng Tiansen no longer cared about his brother's privacy. Since there was nothing wrong with the envelope, he opened it and looked at the contents inside.
After a while, Zeng Yu also squatted down and joined them.
Linglong thought about it and finally stood there.
It’s not that she was unwilling to help, but she felt that even if the letter was read, Zheng Tianlin probably wouldn’t want it to be seen by anyone other than his family.
