Lin Zihan, who had been lying down for a long time, felt as if his body was rusty. Despite his youth and quick recovery, his injuries were almost healed quickly and he could get out of bed and move around.
Today was the mourning meeting. Lin Zihan now remembered that the battle that night seemed to have just ended.
"I'll go with you." Kexin walked in. She was not wearing a white nurse uniform today, but a dark black suit. There was lingering sadness on her innocent and lovely face.
"Since you want to go, then go." Lin Zihan did not refuse. He always felt that Ke Xin was hiding something from him, and his eyes were always evasive.
The car sent by the military arrived downstairs. Yuan Shu and Xia Ming were also there, and several people got into a car.
"You take your little girlfriend with you everywhere!" Yuan Shu joked when he saw Ke Xin following Lin Zihan.
"Don't talk nonsense." Lin Zihan rolled his eyes at Yuan Shu. He survived the disaster, but Yuan Shu was still so annoying. He didn't bother to argue with him. The closer he got to the mourning meeting, the more panicked Lin Zihan felt, as if something big was about to happen.
When I got out of the car, I was surrounded by people wearing black suits who came to attend the condolence meeting.
Many were officers from the military, many were people who survived that battle, and many were trainees who stayed in the training camp.
Many people who have met Lin Zihan will make way for the three of them when they see Lin Zihan, because these people are all people who were saved by Lin Zihan, and they also know Lin Zihan's strength, so they will naturally respect him a lot.
"Commander Ai, commander in chief." As soon as he entered the hall, Lin Zihan saw Lou Zhizhou and Ai Jie. The two looked serious and bitter, as if they were discussing something.
Seeing Lin Zihan and his party, Lou Zhizhou couldn't help but become furious. "The three of you are really going to cause me trouble! Each one of you has violated military discipline. The mourning meeting will be over and the solitary room will be closed for three days of reflection."
Yuan Shu and Xia Ming seemed to have been used to it for a long time, and they both nodded obediently, with only smiles on their faces. The two of them smiled shamelessly and didn't speak, which made Lin Zihan look a lot different.
The embarrassed Lin Zhi could only touch her head with a naive smile on her face, when Ling Fangyuan came over. "In the entire training camp, instructor Xia Ming and student Yuan Shu have probably entered the solitary room more times than everyone else combined. They are both frequent visitors there."
Hearing what Ling Fangyuan said, Yuan Shu and Xia Ming were not angry. This was an indisputable fact.
"Instructor Ling." Lin Zihan greeted respectfully.
"Commander, Yuan Tingkai is here, and he is bringing people from the Military Law Office." Ling Fangyuan nodded to Lin Zihan, came close to Lou Zhizhou's ear, and whispered.
Hearing this, Lou Zhizhou's expression changed, and he knew something was wrong, "Go and notify the strict commander immediately."
Seeing the looks on the two people's faces, Lin Zihan knew that he was probably right about what he guessed, and what was supposed to come would eventually come.
It's just that now Lin Zihan has no choice but to take one step at a time. There must be a road for cars to reach the mountain, and for boats to reach the bridge. Lin Zihan only hopes that this matter will not involve others.
"The mourning meeting begins." A bell-like voice echoed throughout the hall. The hall was completely silent. Only the sad and lonely music was seducing the participants to recall their painful past.
Lin Zihan held a white chrysanthemum and placed it in the wreath in the center of the hall. Among the victims' monuments suspended in the air, there was an extra petal floating in the air.
Turning around, Lin Zihan looked at Kexin behind him. The tears in the corners of his eyes had merged into two rivers and flowed down. The broken beads fell to the ground with a crackle.
"Are you okay?" He walked over, asked softly, and gently put his hand on Kexin's shoulder.
"Hmm~" The only answer to Lin Zihan was Kexin's cry. Looking at the tearful Kexin, Lin Zihan didn't know what happened for a while and why Kexin was crying.
"My full name is Wu Kexin, and Wu Jianming is my brother." Kexin wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand and said with a choked voice.
This was something Lin Zihan didn't expect. Now he understood why the smile on Kexin's face lost its luster when he saw the news and why he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
I also know why she has been depressed these days and has been in a daze alone. Instructor Wu was probably Wu Kexin's only relative in the world. Lin Zihan could not feel the pain of losing a loved one.
But he understood how lonely a person felt in this world. In those years, Lin Zihan once faced life alone and faced the cruel reality.
With that said, Wu Kexin threw herself into Lin Zihan's arms, wrapped her arms around Lin Zihan's waist, buried her head in Lin Zihan's chest, and cried bitterly.
This time, Lin Zihan froze on the spot, his arm stiffly wrapped around Wu Kexin's body, and his hand gently patted Wu Kexin's back. But he didn't know what to say to comfort her.
Maybe it would be better to say nothing at this time.
The mourning meeting was still going on normally, and no one would notice the two people hugging each other, except of course Yuan Tingkai who was standing on the second floor.
"The mourning meeting is over."
As the bell-like sound rang again, the mourning meeting came to an end, and everyone filed out and left the hall of the mourning meeting.
But Lin Zihan still stood there, motionless, not because of the beauty in his arms. The moment he entered the mourning meeting, Lin Zihan knew that he would not be able to leave this hall smoothly today.
Most of the people at the mourning party had left, and only a few people were left, each gathering together and discussing something.
Looking at Wu Kexin in his arms, Lin Zihan was entranced. This little loli can really cry, so let her cry. After all, she may never have the chance to lean on his shoulder in the future.
"Thump thump~" There was a sound of neat footsteps, and a group of soldiers with loaded guns rushed in and surrounded the entire hall. Several soldiers raised their guns and pointed them at Lin Zihan.
"What are you doing?" The soldiers who suddenly broke in aroused one person's dissatisfaction and yelled, but no one around him paid attention to him.
"Sorry, it's a routine matter to arrest Lin Zihan, the Northern Military Spy." Yuan Tingkai walked down the stairs, took out an arrest warrant issued by the Military Justice Department, and held it up high to display it.
There was silence in the hall.
Wu Kexin, who was leaning in Lin Zihan's arms, trembled when she heard Lin Zihan's name. She looked at Lin Zihan with panic in her eyes. The sadness in her eyes that had just cried has not faded away, and has become a little more sad. Worry.
"It's okay." Lin Zihan's hand gently stroked Wu Kexin's head and smoothed down Wu Kexin's long hair. He gently touched Wu Kexin's head.
He pinched Wu Kexin's melancholy face and said, "Don't cry, you are cuter when you smile." He pinched Wu Kexin's face with his hand, as if he were an older brother, looking at Wu Kexin with doting eyes.
Seeing Lin Zihan's look, Wu Kexin's nose felt sore. This action was also an action that her brother often did to her. It was so familiar, but the person in front of her was indeed a different one.
But even this person will be taken away now and no longer belongs to him.
"You can't take him away." Wu Kexin opened her arms and stopped in front of Lin Zihan, like a newborn tiger cub. The tenderness on her face had not faded yet, but she was fiercely protecting her food and looking directly at him. Yuan Tingkai was not afraid.
"Who do you think you are? Come and take it together." Yuan Tingkai didn't expect that a little girl would dare to hinder him from doing things, and he felt very unhappy. He didn't want to waste time here and took Lin Zihan away. He had time to slowly pry Lin Zihan away. Cold mouth.
"Stop!" The person who spoke, Lou Zhizhou, yelled and slowly walked out of the crowd and walked to Lin Zihan.
Following Lou Zhizhou were all the instructors from the training camp and Ai Jie.
"Yuan Tingkai, don't forget, the military regulations stipulate that the Military Justice Department shall not interfere with the extreme individual training camp." Lou Zhizhou showed no shame and stopped in front of Lin Zihan, as if he was protecting a calf.
"Hmph~" Yuan Tingkai sneered disdainfully, "Why don't I report it to the military headquarters after I finish the investigation? The war has failed. I think it is this spy who is behind the scenes."
"There's no need to blame someone if you want to." Lin Zihan shook his head and just sneered.
The battle was defeated and the losses were heavy. These so-called military law offices like to use the excuse to play. When he saw the vehicle with the logo of the Military Justice Department at the door, Lin Zihan had already guessed that these people were here to find him.
After losing the war, this hat was still attached to him, and it was hard for Yuan Tingkai to do anything for him. Lin Zihan reached out and pressed Wu Kexin's arm, walked up to Lou Zhizhou, and was about to speak when he was interrupted.
"If we are held accountable for the defeat of the war, then let me, the commander, be held accountable." Yan Yaoqing walked out slowly, followed by Ling Fangyuan.
"It was me who wanted to fight, and it was my fault that led to the loss of so many outstanding soldiers. I have resigned from the military department and let this matter be bygones." Yan Yaoqing reached out and took the military-covered copy from Ling Fangyuan's hand. Documents with ministry seal.
Open it and hold the document in front of Yuan Tingkai's eyes. "Your Military Justice Department is responsible for the failure of the war. Do you want to go against the military?"
"Withdraw." Yuan Tingkai glanced at the seal on the document, turned and left.
He miscalculated. He did not expect that Yan Yaoqing would take the initiative to resign for Lin Zihan. He took all the responsibilities on himself and even used the military department to suppress him.
This made the original plan to take advantage of the defeat of the war to arrest Lin Zihan come to nothing.
"Thank you, Commander." Lin Zihan looked at Yuan Tingkai who was walking out of the mourning meeting. This time, he owed a greater favor. Yan Yaoqing would have been held accountable, but he would not have resigned directly. He would have been sent abroad for a few days at most.
Now, in order to prevent himself from being taken away by the Military Justice Department, Yan Yaoqing actually took over all the responsibilities by himself, resigned from the position of commander, and handed over the dispatching and command power in his hands.
Until now, Lin Zihan still hadn't figured out what made Yuan Tingkai focus on him, so closely focused on him that he insisted on sending him to the Military Justice Department.
Lin Zihan had a terrible idea in his mind. Could it be that he was related to the incident ten years ago?
Look at the names floating over the mourning meeting and the falling chrysanthemum petals. Lin Zihan's heart was in chaos.
