At this moment, countless people appeared in Luo Zixi's mourning hall.
After the farce involving those older sisters came to an end, everyone was once again immersed in grief.
After all, almost all the villagers from Crescent Moon Mountain had come, as well as the educated youth who hadn't left. Although they weren't very close to Luo Zixi, they were all educated youth themselves, and seeing Luo Zixi leave like that, they all felt a sense of shared sorrow.
Moreover, Luo Zixi was originally so famous that everyone in this area knew her.
Now that she's gone, countless people want to come and see her remains.
They later learned that Luo Zixi had perished with the enemy while holding explosives, and her body was mutilated.
This incident caused immense grief to countless people who came to pay their respects.
Bai Jingyan, as Luo Zixi's comrade-in-arms, presided over the entire memorial service. He suppressed his grief and greeted and saw off the guests.
Luo Zixi had no relatives and had always been all alone.
Upon learning of this, Luo Qingfeng, who was far away in the capital, immediately canceled all his work and came to Crescent Moon Mountain.
He couldn't believe that his sister's only child was gone.
He absolutely could not accept this, and was unwilling to believe it at all.
But he still came; he wanted to confirm the truth of this terrible news.
Arriving at Luo Zixi's funeral, Luo Qingfeng, Luo Zixi's nominal uncle, could no longer contain his grief upon seeing the mutilated body.
If Luo Zixi is indeed here, then he should be the one to handle and complete all matters here.
In fact, he rushed over only after receiving a notification from Zhai Gang.
"Comrade Zhai Gang, what, what exactly is going on?"
"My niece, how could this happen..."
At this moment, Luo Qingfeng stared intently at Zhai Gang, wanting to see if this head of the special department in charge of enemy intelligence work had any unavoidable difficulties or was hiding anything.
As a result, Zhai Gang told him in great detail what had happened that day.
And, to be very certain:
"Chief Luo, it is our fault for failing to protect Comrade Luo Zixi."
"She sacrificed herself to protect the people and our soldiers."
"This all happened right under our noses...it's absolutely true!"
"If you want to punish someone, then do it directly at me."
"As the person in charge here, I am largely to blame for this..."
Frankly speaking, the most direct impact of Luo Zixi's death, in terms of various aspects, was that it had a lot of negative effects on Zhai Gang.
After all, Luo Zixi really died so tragically while trying to save them.
However, under the circumstances at the time, Luo Zixi's choice seemed to be the best option.
Sending any other person to stop that special Gu worm master would come at an even heavier price.
Now, Luo Zixi has single-handedly prevented even greater casualties. But Zhai Gang feels he must shoulder the responsibility that should be borne.
On the other hand, Luo Qingfeng already felt a deep sense of guilt towards Luo Zixi.
He had planned to arrange a very good and lucrative job for Luo Zixi after she returned to Beijing.
Find Luo Zixi a suitable match that will bring her lifelong happiness.
But he didn't have time to do any of these things, he hadn't even gotten Luo Zixi to acknowledge him as her uncle. She just left like that, and all of this was hard for Luo Qingfeng to accept.
People often only realize their regrets after they've lost something, but by then it's too late to make amends. At this moment, Luo Qingfeng looked at the mutilated body covered by the white sheet and felt his own body trembling.
Although he and Luo Zixi had no familial bond, they never even acknowledged each other in the end.
But he was convinced that Luo Zixi was his niece, the only bloodline of his dearest sister.
Now that her niece is gone, how much of a blow will her sister Luo Qingyan, who lives far away in Hong Kong, suffer!
After all, Luo Qingyan had always longed to come to Northeast China to find her daughter.
As a result, now...
Should he tell his sister the devastating news? But if he didn't even get to see his daughter one last time, wouldn't his sister blame him even more?
Finally, he went directly to Bai Jingyan's side and stated his request:
"Comrade Xiaobai, thank you so much for helping our Luoluo on her final journey."
"As her uncle, it is my duty to stay here with Luo Luo."
“But I have something very important to do. Lolo’s biological mother has been looking for her.”
"I finally found her, but this happened before her mother could even arrive. Lolo's mother is in Hong Kong and can't come back."
“I want to plead for a special shortcut so that Lolo’s mother can come back to see her one last time.”
Bai Jingyan was stunned by Luo Qingfeng's words.
Wasn't Luo Zixi's mother already dead? Luo Qingyan has become the laughingstock of the capital.
How come there's another biological mother? What exactly happened?
Luo Qingfeng noticed Bai Jingyan's confusion and sighed softly, saying:
"There are too many people here and too much chatter, so it's not convenient to explain many things to you right now."
"I'll talk to you properly after everyone leaves."
Bai Jingyan was in a state of utter confusion. He was already heartbroken, and now this had happened.
Now it seems there are still many things he doesn't understand about Luo Zixi...
For a moment, Bai Jingyan felt immense regret. He really shouldn't have gone to Hong Kong after receiving that mission from the organization.
