Chapter 97 Aunt's Mission
Qi Xue grabbed her eldest brother who was about to run away and pointed upstairs, and Qi Zhijun sat down again.
"After Jiang Xingtian was arrested, the person who is now working with Ponnai Win is his eldest son Jiang Zheng."
"According to the intelligence, Jiang Zheng has established a relationship with Sha Kun, the leader of the New Freedom Army in Wanta. Now more and more people in China are missing in Wanta every year. I plan to use this connection to take the opportunity to get close to Jiang Zheng."
The muscles at the corners of Qi Zhijun's eyes kept died during the arrest of Jiang Xingtian, and he couldn't bear to see his sister taking the risk.
"No, I'll talk to Lao Zhou and tell him you can't go."
"Brother, there is a reason why the higher-ups agreed to let me go."
Qi Xue held her brother's hand and said, "You know the rules. I can't tell you the specific reasons. We have been setting up in Wanta for so many years. This time I am just cooperating with them to complete some tasks. There won't be much danger."
"Does the old man know?"
Qi Xue shook her head: "Dad is already so old , don't let him worry about it."
Qi Zhijun clenched his fists, but there was nothing he could do. Since the order had been given, he had to obey.
"This journey may take one or two years. Vanta is a protracted battle. We have paid so much, isn't it just for the moment of success?"
"Brother, I have completed this kind of mission many times. Don't worry too much. I know what I am doing."
"Once Wanta's mission is over, I will apply to be transferred back to Dadu to do some logistics work."
As the brother and sister were talking, Zhu Yu came downstairs with He Shu's dirty clothes.
"The child has bruises all over his body. You are such a brave aunt. You let him play with a motorcycle that is so dangerous."
Qi Xue didn't care about her sister-in-law's complaints and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, boys can only grow up through falling and fighting."
"What's with all the fighting? Can't you just be good?"
"You torture children just for your own ideas. You don't feel bad, but I do."
Zhu Yu said, holding He Shu's clothes and crying: "I just hope he grows up safely, why is it so difficult? Can't he just live a good life? Woo... my son..."
Qi Zhijun knew that Zhu Yu was sick again, and sighed: "Xiaoxue, I will go back to the room with your sister-in-law first, you should go to bed early too."
Qi Xue nodded and watched her elder brother bring his sister-in-law back to the house with a sad look in her eyes.
There was no one else in the living room. Qi Xue walked into the small hall inside and reached out to touch Qi Guangxing's young face in the photo.
In the room, Zhu Yu was still crying while holding He Shu's dirty clothes.
Qi Zhijun found the medicine and poured her a glass of water, but was slapped to the ground by Zhu Yu.
The cup broke into pieces and the water spilled all over the floor.
Qi Zhijun was already used to it, so he took a broom to sweep away the debris and wiped the floor.
When he looked up, he saw Zhu Yu looking at him hatefully: "The thing I regret most in my life is marrying you. You killed my son. Qi Zhijun, I will hate you forever."
Qi Zhijun pressed her down on the bed and hugged her tightly. Zhu Yu struggled desperately, but he covered her mouth.
He was afraid that Zhu Yu's crazy behavior would disturb the old man and scare He Shu.
He let Zhu Yu tickle and hit him mercilessly, but he just held her tightly in his arms to prevent her from shouting.
Like a statue, motionless, with lifeless eyes.
Zhu Yu was tired of struggling and stopped, just silently shed tears.
Qi Zhijun then let go of her hand and wiped her tears with his palm: "You are right, I was the one who killed your son, you just need to hate me, don't torture yourself."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yu's tears flowed even harder. She rested her head on Qi Zhijun's chest, grabbed his clothes to cover her mouth and nose, and then burst into tears loudly.
Her crying was muffled in her chest, and Qi Zhijun gently stroked her back.
Zhu Yu said that he was the one who killed his son, and Qi Zhijun never defended himself.
Because he was afraid that one day Zhu Yu would not even have this little hatred left and would not be able to live anymore.
Zhu Yu was once proud to marry into the Qi family, and Qi Zhijun knew that she would figure it out sooner or later.
There are so many people who sacrifice every year , Qi Guangxing is just one of them...
He Shu's room is right next to my uncle's.
Although the noise from next door was suppressed as much as possible, He Shu still heard it.
First there was the sound of a cup breaking, then my aunt crying, but my uncle didn't make any sound.
He Shu walked to the window, opened the curtains, and looked at the bright moon hanging in the sky outside.
He knew how much trauma the departure of a loved one would leave in a person, and it would be hard to forget even after a long time.
…
The next day, when He Shu got up, his aunt had returned to normal.
Breakfast is also ready and it is very rich.
Seeing that He Shu liked the side dishes she prepared, my aunt knew that there was a refrigerator in He Shu’s dormitory building, so she took out a lunch box and filled it up for him.
"Take it back and eat it. Come back and get it when you're done."
He Shu nodded and smiled at his aunt: "Okay, I'll come back in a couple of days when I don't have classes. Can you make some dumplings for me?"
When my aunt heard that He Shu wanted to eat dumplings, she happily agreed: "Do you want to eat leeks and eggs? I'll put more shrimp in it. Hey, I'll go buy some now. The shrimps at the morning market are fresh."
Having said that, my aunt stopped eating breakfast, took off her apron and went to buy shrimps.
"Aunt, I'll be here in a few days." He Shu didn't expect his aunt to react so strongly.
"I'll go buy some more and keep them here. As for shrimps, you may not always find good ones. I have to go early and buy more if I find good ones..."
My aunt went upstairs to change her clothes while muttering to herself.
He Shu was a little at a loss. He wanted to get closer to his aunt so that she wouldn't always think about the past, but this...
Grandpa smiled and said, "Yes, just tell your aunt what you want to eat in the future."
Qi Xue rubbed his head: "It's okay, this is good."
He Shu had never eaten dumplings at the Qi family, so he knew that the leek and egg dish should be Brother Guangxing's favorite.
His aunt treated him as Guangxing again, but He Shu didn't mind if it made her happy.
Qi Zhijun was a little surprised by He Shu's performance, but he immediately understood He Shu's intention, and his eyes towards He Shu suddenly softened a lot.
After breakfast, Qi Zhijun actually wanted to take him back to school, so Qi Xue had to put down the motorcycle keys.
After saying goodbye to his grandfather and aunt, Qi Zhijun got into his uncle's car, started the car and drove out of the compound.
The uncle drove very steadily. On the way, he asked He Shu if he had exercised recently. He Shu nodded and told him about his exercise methods.
At school, long-distance running is the main focus, and there is not much equipment training.
Qi Zhijun listened quietly without expressing any opinion until he sent He Shu to school.
"Keep running. If you have time, choose a sport to practice. Your school has many gymnasiums. You can play football or basketball. Don't just study hard. You'll end up being a nerd."
He Shu hummed: "I understand, uncle."
"Okay, go in. If you need anything, call me. If you want to go home, call me too and I'll pick you up."
