Chapter 437 I don’t want to step on his corpse to get promoted
Chief Lu wanted to say something, but when he saw Tian Guangzhi's expression,
There were many things that I couldn't say at the moment.
Although Chief Lu felt regretful about Tian Guangwen's death, he could accept it.
After all, he is a person who has committed a serious mistake. Even if he did not participate in this mission, even if he was lucky enough to live to see the trial.
But so what?
For some people, the moment they make a mistake, it means they are already dead, and there is no chance of redemption.
From the moment Tian Guangwen betrayed his motherland and became an enemy spy, he was destined to die.
Even Chief Lu felt that Tian Guangwen's final action made up for many of his sins.
To put it bluntly, Tian Guangwen died a worthy death in the end.
However, Tian Guangzhi obviously didn't think so.
Although Chief Lu tried his best to suppress his expression, Tian Guangzhi still saw a lot of it.
Tian Guangzhi has been following Chief Lu for quite some time, so he naturally knows what Chief Lu is thinking.
He stood opposite Chief Lu's desk and smiled.
"From the moment I put on this military uniform, I, Tian Guangzhi, have put the interests of the motherland first."
"Since I joined the army, I have lived up to the uniform I wear and the conscience of heaven and earth."
"But I, I can't step on my brother's body and continue my journey of defending my country."
"I, Tian Guangzhi, voluntarily retire from the army." As he said this, Tian Guangzhi saluted Chief Lu again.
Before Chief Lu could say anything, there was a knock on the door.
"Report!" A familiar voice came.
Hearing the voice, I knew it was Zhou Qishan coming.
Chief Lu shouted, "Come in," and the door was pushed open.
Zhou Qishan walked in and saw that Tian Guangzhi was indeed here.
In the past two days, when Zhou Qishan and Gu Nan were chatting, they speculated that Tian Guangzhi might not stay in the army after returning this time.
Gu Nan’s idea is that the sky is high and the birds fly freely. Tian Guangzhi is such a smart man, even if he is not in the army, he can still go to many places.
Gu Nan is willing to respect Tian Guangzhi's choice.
However, Zhou Qishan didn't think so. He felt that everything Tian Guangzhi showed seemed to be tailor-made for the army.
Such an outstanding person must stay in the army so that he can continue to shine for the motherland.
No matter what, Zhou Qishan was unwilling to let Tian Guangzhi leave the army.
Zhou Qishan felt that if Tian Guangzhi left the army, it would be a loss for both Tian Guangzhi and the motherland.
So, when Zhou Qishan got the news that Tian Guangzhi had returned and was in Chief Lu’s office, he hurried over.
He just wanted to stop Tian Guangzhi before Chief Lu approved his retirement.
Change his mind.
When Tian Guangzhi saw Zhou Qishan coming, he gave him a smile, although it looked a little unnatural.
Zhou Qishan first nodded to Chief Lu, then looked at Tian Guangzhi and spoke in a deep voice.
"We are all strangers, I will just say it straight."
"Are you going to leave the army this time or stay?" Zhou Qishan stood not far from Tian Guangzhi, looked at Tian Guangzhi and asked.
Tian Guangzhi smiled and said, "I'm here to apply for discharge from the army."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qishan took two steps forward and grabbed Tian Guangzhi by the collar.
The fist as big as a sandbag landed on the side of Tian Guangzhi's face.
"Are you sure?" Zhou Qishan did not let go, but just held Tian Guangzhi's collar.
"Sure." Tian Guangzhi could smell some blood in his mouth and thought, this bastard actually used such a heavy hand.
"Do you know that if you retire now, your brother Tian Guangwen's death will be in vain?" Zhou Qishan said angrily.
In Zhou Qishan's view, Tian Guangwen sacrificed his own life to protect his brother's career in the army, but his brother did not appreciate his kindness.
Then didn’t Tian Guangwen die in vain?
"He deserved to die. It was his way of making up for the sins he committed." Tian Guangzhi said as he used his tongue to resist the taste of blood on his teeth.
Zhou Qishan wanted to punch Tian Guangzhi again to wake him up.
Then there was another knock on the door.
A voice came from outside, "Report!"
"Come in!" Chief Lu held his forehead and asked the person outside to come in.
Because of this voice, Chief Lu recognized it as Gu Nan's voice.
When Gu Nan pushed the door open, he saw Zhou Qishan grabbing Tian Guangzhi by the collar and raising his other hand high.
Gu Nan, who came in, first nodded to Chief Lu, then went to Zhou Qishan and asked him to let go of Tian Guangzhi.
"He wants to retire." Zhou Qishan turned his head and said to Gu Nan.
Gu Nan looked at Tian Guangzhi deeply, then patted Zhou Qishan's hand.
"I can guess it." Gu Nan said in a low voice.
Zhou Qishan loosened his grip on Tian Guangzhi's collar.
"We've known each other for so long, and I only have one thing to say to you, which is that if you retire now, your brother's kindness will be in vain."
"He was determined to die and wanted to carry out that mission, just to get you out."
"He doesn't want his affairs to affect your future."
"When he was dying, he kept saying that he was sorry for you and didn't want to implicate you."
"Can he rest in peace if you retire now?" Zhou Qishan said with a look of disappointment.
After Tian Guangzhi's collar was released, he patted his collar with his hand.
Although the collar is still wrinkled.
"My brother, I know him better than any of you." Tian Guangzhi spoke slowly.
Then his eyes became blank and he turned his head to look out the window.
The sky was very blue at this time, with not many clouds.
In the distance, there are dense branches and leaves, and from time to time there are the sounds of insects and birds chirping.
Outside in the training ground, you can occasionally hear the training calls of new recruits.
Each sound is strong and powerful.
Each one is filled with passion for defending the country.
"Perhaps, if he hadn't done so much for me, I would have really wanted to stay."
"But I can't. I can't keep moving forward over his dead body."
"I feel that every step I take in the army, all the footprints I leave behind are stained with his blood." Tian Guangzhi muttered as he stared blankly at the sky outside the window.
Gu Nan could understand Tian Guangzhi's choice since he knew what Tian Guangwen did for Tian Guangzhi in the end.
Gu Nan knew that Tian Guangzhi would no longer stay in the army.
Every day in the army will be a day with Hirofumi Arita.
Only by leaving here can he let go of everything and start over.
Although it's a pity that Tian Guangzhi left the army, they are all good brothers, and he living the rest of his life freely is what Gu Nan wants to see.
Thinking of this, Gu Nan walked to Zhou Qishan and patted him on the shoulder.
