[Chapter 102 Chapter 102 Sacrifice]
Not long after Shen Yuyao arrived at work that day, someone came to inform her and asked her to go to the director's office.
Shen Yuyao was very surprised: "I'm busy here, what's the matter?"
The person who came was a clerk who did odd jobs in the office.
Seeing her like this, he went straight into the counter and said to her, "Go quickly, I'll help you watch over here."
Shen Yuyao had no choice but to hand him the bill book in her hand and then went to the row of bungalows at the back.
Director Wang was not in the office at this time. He was waiting in the backyard with Chen Fei.
When he saw Shen Yuyao, without waiting for her to ask, Fade Chen immediately said to her: "Sister-in-law, please come back to the division headquarters with me. Division Commander Ye asked me to come and see you."
"What's the matter?" Shen Yuyao looked at Chen Fei and asked.
The Chen Fei at this moment was completely different from the previous times that Shen Yuyao had met.
He must have been in the backyard for a while, but he was still sweating profusely and his military uniform was half wet.
I don’t know how fast he rode the bike along the way!
Chen Fei did not answer her question, but said: "Let's go quickly, the commander asked me to take you back."
Director Wang on the side also said repeatedly: "Go quickly, go quickly, don't worry about the company's affairs, I will find someone to take your place!"
Seeing the two of them like this, Shen Yuyao's heart suddenly sank.
Shen Yuyao followed Chen Fei to the division headquarters.
Although she had lived in the staff quarters for some time, this was her first time back to the office.
She had always been a little curious about this place before, but now she was not in the mood to take a look.
Shen Yuyao's mind was in a mess and she didn't even know what she was thinking.
She seemed to be thinking a lot, yet seemed to be thinking nothing.
He just followed Chen Fei mechanically, moving forward step by step.
Chen Fei did not take her to the division commander's office, but took her to the large conference room of the division headquarters.
This room is two or three times the size of an ordinary office. In the middle of the room are two rows of long tables placed side by side, and around the long tables are a circle of chairs.
At this moment, there were already several people sitting on that chair.
In addition to Commander Ye, Deputy Political Commissar Liu, and several familiar-looking leaders whom Shen Yuyao knew, there were also two soldiers whom she did not know.
Seeing Shen Yuyao come in, everyone in the room stood up at the same time, including the leaders.
One of the two soldiers she didn't know pulled out a chair and walked over to her, reached out to help her, and said, "Comrade Shen, please sit down first."
After that, he glanced at Division Commander Ye and said, "Can someone get Comrade Shen a glass of water first?"
Commander Ye is in a very bad condition at the moment.
He looked a little dazed, as if he hadn't heard the soldier's advice at all and ignored him completely.
Deputy Political Commissar Liu next to him quickly said, "Staff Officer Chen, go get Xiao Shen a glass of water!"
Chen Fei's condition was not much better.
After hearing the leader's order, I was stunned for a while before I reacted.
Without even saying "yes", he just said "oh" and turned to leave.
"No, I don't want to drink water." Shen Yuyao stopped him.
At this time, Shen Yuyao had already confirmed that something had happened to Cheng Liyan.
When this thought came to her mind, her heart suddenly ached!
The pain was so severe that she almost stopped breathing.
Shen Yuyao clenched her fists tightly, trying to calm herself down.
She did not sit down as the soldier suggested, but just stood upright.
She looked around, taking in everyone in the room.
Finally, he looked at the soldier standing in front of her and asked calmly, "Did Cheng Liyan get into trouble? Don't beat around the bush, please tell me the truth."
The soldier paused for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Shen Yuyao to be so calm.
He subconsciously looked towards his companion.
At this time, his companion also walked over from his seat, stood beside his comrade, and handed a piece of paper to Shen Yuyao with both hands.
Then he said to her in a very sad tone: "Comrade Shen Yuyao, we have just received a notice from Province A that a major fire accident occurred at the XX Shipyard three days ago, causing many casualties and bringing huge losses to the country!
We are here today to inform you that Captain Cheng Liyan's name is on the list of victims.
This is a fact that none of us want to see, and we ask for your condolences.
The military has now sent someone to Province A to handle the aftermath of Captain Cheng and other people involved in the accident..."
The man said a lot more, but Shen Yuyao could no longer hear him.
She just stood there quietly, watching their mouths move silently.
Until they finished their last sentence, then they took a step back at the same time and saluted her solemnly.
At this moment, Shen Yuyao seemed to finally understand what they had just said.
Her body shook, and everything in front of her eyes became gray and turned into shadows.
She wanted to cry, but her eyes were dry and there was not a single tear.
Only then did Shen Yuyao realize that when people are really sad, they cannot cry.
Her chest ached, as if a huge hole had been ripped out of her heart.
Shen Yuyao bit her lips hard, until her mouth felt a burning pain. She bit even harder, just wanting the pain to be deeper.
Use this kind of pain to keep yourself awake.
Then, her eyes fell on the piece of paper in her hand.
It was a red-headed document with the date and month of the urgent telegram received written on it. It looked like a telegram notification.
The document contained a description of the accident, and at the bottom of the document was a list of casualties.
Cheng Liyan’s name was written at the very front!
Shen Yuyao stared at the document for a long time, seemingly reading it very seriously.
But from beginning to end, the only three words "Cheng Liyan" flashed before her eyes.
Those three words that were once so familiar to her now seemed so strange.
Shen Yuyao closed her eyes tightly.
My heart was overwhelmed by a sudden and overwhelming sense of despair.
——So, her only relative in this world is gone?
The person she loved the most, relied on the most, and cared about the most, just left her like that?
The hole in Shen Yuyao's heart grew bigger and bigger, so empty that it seemed as if the wind could blow through it.
She turned suddenly and walked towards the door without saying a word.
Seeing her like this, Commander Ye was the first to react.
He pushed the chair away and chased over here.
"Xiao Shen, where are you going?"
Chen Fei, who was standing aside, quickly blocked Shen Yuyao's way.
He asked, "Sister-in-law, where are you going? I'll go with you."
Shen Yuyao stopped.
She looked up at Chen Fei and smiled at him.
She said: "I'm going home. I'm going to wait for Li Yan to come back. He promised me that he would come home as soon as he finished his work. I believe him. He won't lie to me."
Shen Yuyao's voice was very gentle, and there was even a hint of shyness in her smile.
Seeing her like this, everyone in the conference room stood still, and no one even dared to stop her.
