Qiu Yu stood stiffly on the spot, the pearl necklace hanging around her neck was round and probably worth a lot of money.

Jiang Xiaochuan really didn’t want to pay attention to her. He felt something ominous ever since he saw Qiu Yu’s photo. In fact, when he was young, he still had vague memories of his mother. It was not that there were no photos at home, but later, Jiang Encheng put them away. As time went by, he completely forgot about it.

He didn’t feel anything when he saw Qiu Yu before. It wasn’t until he found the photo at his door that he knew that things were different.

He walked straight past Qiu Yu. This wealthy woman, with the shrewdness and strength unique to a businessman, and a noble aura, spoke like a queen: “Stop, I want to see your father.”

“He is dead, why do you want to see him?” Jiang Xiaochuan felt for a moment that this woman was extremely vicious. How could there be such a person in the world who could hurt others unintentionally?

Besides, “Why did you come to see him? He has been lonely for half his life without seeing you by his side; he was old and sick, but you were living happily abroad; you left him when he needed others the most, abandoning your own husband and son. Are you coming back because I am now the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee and mayor of Chengzhou?”

Such a pungent and sharp counterattack and sarcasm was something Qiu Yu never expected. She was shocked by Jiang Xiaochuan’s words and froze on the spot, she opened her mouth to explain something, but under Jiang Xiaochuan’s calm and cold gaze, she slowly closed her mouth.

Behind him, Yue Qingci’s palm closed so tightly with the empty bullet case hurting his hand. He quietly closed his eyes and swallowed up all the bloody killing intent. Yue Qingci gasped silently, and then said to Yue Huasheng: “Uncle, let’s go.”

Yue Huasheng looked at the empty ward and stretched out his hand as if to grab something, but finally lowered it.

It was because of him that Jiang Encheng failed to return to the team in time. Jiang Encheng wanted to save him… but he did not report Jiang Encheng’s situation. At that time, the two of them went deep alone. If both of them came back, they would both be heroes… But, why didn’t he report the fact that Jiang Encheng also had merit?

When he left slowly, Qiu Yu still stood there, and Jiang Xiaochuan had already walked away.

Everything seemed to come to an end in such a bizarre gesture.

Qiu Yu was probably Jiang Xiaochuan’s mother, but she abandoned her husband and son and left when the whole family was in the most critical moment. Even now, Jiang Xiaochuan knew that this woman had an unexplained relationship with Hua Feng, the director of Huaxin Group.

Jiang Encheng left like this. Jiang Xiaochuan didn’t even hold a funeral for him. He just placed him in the cemetery and placed a few bouquets of flowers.

Standing in front of Jiang Encheng’s small tombstone, he looked down the mountain from the mountainside. There was farmland nearby, but dense urban buildings in the distance. At first glance, it looked quite open.

.

Jiang Xiaochuan had lost a lot of weight, but his eyes began to show an intimidating sharpness.

His phone was still turned off. Jiang Xiaochuan went back to his home to pack his things and opened the door of Jiang Encheng’s room. Everything inside was still neat and tidy.

He remembered that every time he saw the light coming from this room in the middle of the night, he walked to the old desk, opened the drawer, and found some things related to old memories in an old file bag.

A photo for each year, Jiang Xiaochuan’s awards and certificates over the years, the old version of his ID card, Jiang Encheng’s disability certificate and military ID, and the medal that Jiang Encheng collected.

He picked it up and took a look, flipped to the back of the medal, touched it with his fingers, and discovered something that he had not noticed before. In addition to a bullet mark on the back, there were also several small words stamped on the inside: “Honors awarded. The Soldier Yue Huasheng, 1975.”

This was not Jiang Encheng’s medal from the beginning, it was Yue Huasheng.

In other words, the event to express condolences to disabled soldiers was planned behind the scenes by the Yue family. This medal was specially sent by Yue Huasheng, which seemed to be a kind of compensation. Therefore, Jiang Encheng only wore this medal once or twice, and never wore it again. Did he know what this medal represents?

This bullet mark was consistent with the one on Yue Qingci’s hand.

Later, Yue Huasheng and Jiang Encheng met again. What happened during that period could only be a permanent mystery to Jiang Xiaochuan.

He packed up all these things and finally turned to some very old photos. One was a photo taken in the army a long time ago. Young Jiang Encheng and Yue Huasheng stood shoulder to shoulder, holding guns. They looked quite good. That kind of greenness and passion like the balls of a new recruit. Behind was the wedding photo of Jiang Encheng and… Qiu Yu.

Photos from that era were extremely old and easily damaged.

Sure enough, it was just like what he thought.

Jiang Xiaochuan tidied the room, closed the door, sat in the living room, and poured himself a glass of water.

From now on, he was really the only one.

Qu Zhendong, the photo, Jiang Encheng suffered from heart failure.

Qu Zhendong brought the photo and gave it to Jiang Encheng, for some purpose unknown to Jiang Xiaochuan. Then he left, and Jiang Encheng became ill – very reasonable, but also particularly infuriating.

Did Qu Zhendong know the relationship between Jiang Encheng and Qiu Yu? Did he know that Jiang Encheng suffers from heart failure?

If Qu Zhendong deliberately provoked Jiang Encheng, it would be extremely unwise – so he probably didn’t mean it.

Maybe he didn’t know about the relationship between Jiang Encheng and Qiu Yu, maybe he didn’t know that Jiang Encheng had heart failure, maybe he knew both, and just left the photo intentionally or unintentionally… No one could say what the facts were at that time.

He asked the cleaning staff nearby. The cleaning staff saw Jiang Encheng escorting Qu Zhendong out. He could not find any suspicion in this matter.

Jiang Encheng’s death could only be legally defined as an accidental death.

What did this man, Jiang Encheng, give to Jiang Xiaochuan? The training and growth since childhood, some things that others didn’t know – and everything beyond the family.

His career in his previous life was smooth sailing, and the help from the Yue family couldn’t be ignored. Maybe his father was responsible for this?

Many mysteries were solved in this way, but he didn’t feel relaxed; he only felt depressed, a heavy depression.
