At the same time, Beijing City.
The main residence of the Xie family, which had a mourning hall, received a call from Lang Ye.
In just two days, Mr. Xie, whose hair was already half white, slowly closed his eyes when he learned that his son's body had been burned to ashes.
He covered his chest, which was in so much pain from suffocation, and said in a hoarse and rough voice: "Okay, I got it. I will announce Lan Zhi's death as soon as possible. When he is buried tomorrow, the bloody clothes will be replaced with ashes."
Mrs. Xie, who was sitting beside them in a daze, raised her head stiffly when she heard this.
She asked in a broken voice, "What happened?"
Father Xie said in a trembling voice: "Qin Shu and the children will bring Lan Zhi's ashes back tonight."
"ah--!"
Mrs. Xie let out a hoarse whimper from her throat and her body slid off the sofa.
She hugged her father Xie's legs and cried, "Old Xie... our son is really gone... we don't have a son anymore!!!"
Without hope, there is no disappointment!
Mrs. Xie has been living on faith these past two days.
She thought Qin Shu would be able to save her son, but what she got was that her son's body had been burned to ashes.
Father Xie held Mrs. Xie's neck with trembling hands and shed silent tears. His whole body was filled with deep sorrow, like an old lion, whose soul was howling in sorrow.
After a long time, Father Xie held Madam Xie's hand and said, "Madam, our son volunteered to die for the person he loved, for the benefactors of the Guo and Xie families, and for the person who would change the fate of China..."
The last few words were spoken by Xie's father one by one.
Xie Lanzhi no longer holds any position, but the desire to defend his country is ingrained in his bones and cannot be erased.
He saved Qin Shu not only because of his responsibility as a husband, but also for the sake of his family and country. Qin Shu was too important, and the influence she brought was extraordinary.
Mrs. Xie knew exactly what she was doing the moment her son chose to die, but as a mother she still could not accept it.
She lay on Xie's father's legs, crying breathlessly.
The cell phone on the table suddenly rang. It was Qin Shu calling.
Father Xie hugged Mrs. Xie, who was crying and trembling, and reached out to pick up the phone and answered the call.
Qin Shu, who was far away in Yunxiao Mountain, heard her mother-in-law crying as soon as the call was connected. She explained, "Dad, Brother Lan will not die. I will tell you in detail when I go back tomorrow. Please tell Mom not to be too sad. I promise that Brother Lan will not die and he will come back to you."
Xie's father's eyes widened: "Are you serious?!"
Qin Shu said seriously in her crying voice: "Really, I swear on my life!"
Father Xie cried with joy and was so excited that he spoke incoherently: "Good, good, good! You are all fine, fine, fine!"
Mrs. Xie raised her head suddenly, her eyes flashing with anticipation, and asked in a hoarse voice: "What did Ah Shu say? Is Zhizhi's body still there? Or did Ah Shu rescue him?"
Father Xie hung up the phone, held Mrs. Xie's face with both hands, and said with tears and laughter: "A Shu said that as long as Lan Zhi is alive, our son will be alive!"
Mrs. Xie pressed hard, her heartbeat about to burst, and asked anxiously, "What about the ashes?"
She was so overwhelmed with sorrow and joy that she felt like she was dreaming and almost fainted.
Father Xie shook his head: "A Shu said she would tell us in detail when she comes back."
Mrs. Xie was confused again and asked anxiously, "Is Ah Shu trying to comfort us?"
Father Xie was silent for a while, then shook his head: "That kid wouldn't joke about this kind of thing."
In fact, he was not sure in his heart. Seeing his wife about to faint from crying, he could only comfort her with these words.
