The latest chapter of Rebirth in the Barracks: Ace Military Marriage is updated the fastest!
When she opened the folder, the first thing she saw was a photo of a young woman in an old military uniform. She looked very familiar with the photo. This was... her mother. Although she was with her for less than four years, she would always remember her gentle look when she told stories.
Even after another lifetime, it is still so vivid.
The reception room was so quiet that it seemed as if no one was there; not even the sound of breathing could be heard.
Director Cai looked at Ye Jian who was reading carefully. When she turned to the second page, he whispered, "...The mission back then was indeed a one-way mission. Someone took advantage of his position to collude with the underworld forces, opened the country's borders, and made huge profits from it."
"When your mother received the mission, she knew that she was in great danger. Before she left, she told us that she had a daughter in her hometown. If she didn't come back, we would need to take good care of her."
"I still have no way of finding out who took advantage of their positions to open the country's borders and engage in smuggling and drug trafficking. It is beyond our power to find out who these people are. Family disgrace should not be made public, and the same is true for national disgrace. Most of them were executed in secret."
That era was a time when everything was beginning to emerge. Some people could not keep their original intentions, could not resist the temptation of money, began to violate their original oaths, and gradually moved towards committing crimes.
"Look at what the comrade who was on the mission with your mother said. He said that before your mother died, she shouted a person's name in her native dialect, and then she was ambushed and shot in the chest and died on the spot."
"This is what she sacrificed..." Director Cai suddenly stopped talking, silently took out a manila envelope from another pocket of his briefcase, gently placed it on the coffee table, and slowly pushed it in front of Ye Jian, "...Ye Jian, take a look."
As if realizing what was inside, Ye Jian's outstretched hand suddenly retracted. Glancing at Director Cai with a gloomy expression, Ye Jian clenched his outstretched hand into a fist, and when he released his hand, he quickly picked up the envelope as if he had made up his mind.
There was a photo inside. Even after more than ten years, the colors were still so bright. The bright red national flag, some green leaves with a bluish tint, and under the national flag was... Ye Jian, with tears in her eyes, trembled, "...This is the photo of my mother when she died, right? The one lying under the national flag is her, right?"
"Yes, child, the person lying under the national flag is Martyr Sun Xueqing. This is a photo taken after her death."
Director Cai's voice was filled with sadness. More than ten years later, he mentioned the comrade who had saved his life again, and her sacrifice still made him sad.
Tears slowly rolled out from her eyes, one drop at a time. Ye Jian stared at the photo closely, letting out a low, sobbing sound from her throat.
The entire national flag covered her mother's body, from head to toe, with only the vague outline of her body. She could not see her mother's face or her body, but she could see... the blood stained on the red flag.
"The comrade who was on a mission with Martyr Sun Xueqing before her death said that she had shouted something in her hometown dialect. It was very short and sounded like she was shouting someone's name. Unfortunately, the sound of bullets was dense at the time and he was unable to reconstruct what your mother said in her hometown dialect afterwards."
"Look at the second photo... The second photo is a bit bloody, a bloody combat dagger. Later, when the tissue on the combat dagger was extracted, it was found that it was human eye tissue,"
"That means your mother used this combat dagger to stab a criminal in the eye before she died."
