Chapter 697 This scene hurts everyone
Compared with Qiu Qianghai, his grief was even greater.
Whether the two men cried silently or out loud, everyone in the room was infected by their grief.
“Dongdong——”
There was a knock on the door.
This is like a death warrant, but also like a signal.
Everyone in the room looked towards the door.
Qiu Qianghai and Gu Jiajie also stared at the door.
Gu Jin held An Mingji's arm and leaned lightly on him. She didn't have the courage to open the door at the moment.
No one knew how sad she was. Minmin was a really good and sensible girl. How could she just leave like that? How could people accept it?
No one opened the door until Wanqi Jingyi came out.
He walked towards the door and slowly opened it.
Outside the door stood two men in dark green uniforms. The leader saluted quickly: "Hello, comrade."
This person was none other than Hong Fei, the one who met with Gu Minmin at the sidelines.
The person behind him was holding a square box in his hand.
When Wanqi Jingyi saw the wooden box, a hint of heaviness flashed across his deep eyes.
Looking at the shoulders of the two people outside the door, he knew that their identities were not low, and he knew that they belonged to a special group.
"Come in."
Wanqi Jingyi moved aside to let the two men walk into the room.
Hong Fei glanced around the room and met several pairs of red eyes. The two men sitting on the sofa looked the most grief-stricken and obviously sad.
Before coming, Hong Fei had read Gu Minmin's file information. He recognized Gu Jiajie at a glance and knew that he was Gu Minmin's brother.
He turned around, took the wooden box from his comrade behind him, and walked towards Gu Jiajie.
"Hello, Comrade Gu Minmin died in action. She sacrificed herself to protect many comrades. These are her ashes. The leadership has awarded her the highest honor—"
From the moment they appeared, Gu Jiajie's ears started ringing when he saw the urn, and he felt like the world was turning upside down.
He didn't want to hear what Hong Fei said. His eyes were red and he stared at the urn in Hong Fei's arms.
"Give her to me!"
I finished the sentence in two parts.
The grief and sobbing in it are sad to hear.
Hong Fei stopped talking, pursed his lips slightly, took a step forward holding the urn, and respectfully handed it to Gu Jiajie with both hands.
"I regret that I failed to protect Comrade Gu Minmin when we were fighting side by side."
If the Red Eagle had been caught earlier, the 19-year-old girl would not have died.
A 19-year-old girl who had not yet been officially recruited saved hundreds of casualties on her own.
This is what they sincerely admire, but also what they regret.
Gu Jiajie didn't hear a word Hong Fei said.
The moment Gu Minmin’s ashes entered his arms, he held them tightly and let out a low, painful roar: “Ahhhhh——”
He roared sadly, tears streaming down his face, unable to be controlled like water.
“Minmin! My Minmin!!”
Gu Jiajie's eyes were dull and lifeless, filled with grief.
He collapsed on the sofa, curled up, and hugged Gu Minmin's urn tightly, wanting to protect her so that she would never be hurt again.
This scene hurt everyone's eyes.
Except Qiu Qianghai.
The moment he saw Gu Minmin's urn, his tears stopped.
Except for his slightly red eyes, his face was calm, as if nothing was wrong.
He stood up slowly and walked towards Gu Jiajie mechanically with stiff steps.
