Chapter 326: Chapter 32 Origins_2
“Yes, certainly.”
“Could I join the military in the future and beco an officer with a rank higher than my father’s?”
“Yes.”
Zeng Yi’s always unquestionable mindset had changed, affecting his entire deanor.
Zeng Wenxin felt relieved, thankful that it wasn’t too late, his son could still be saved.
That Shen Family kid truly was his son’s lucky star. Although his son had made a mistake last ti, he had quickly learned to bear the consequences and reflect on himself, visibly improving from his previously bossy and willful nature.
He planned on giving Shen Yinian a generous red envelope during the New Year to thank him for tily waking him and his son.
anwhile, in the hospital, Shen Chi and Lin Xiaoguai were also discussing Shen Yinian.
“Your son really is cunning; he knows how to manipulate people at such a young age,” Lin Xiaoguai said with a laugh.
“What ‘your son’?” Shen Chi raised his hand to tap her forehead and then shook his head, saying, “That Zeng Wenxin can be so careless. He always talks about wanting his son to study hard but keeps belittling scholars in front of him.”
“I’m not surprised. If he were careful, he wouldn’t give a child sothing as dangerous as a Swiss Army Knife,” Lin Xiaoguai sighed.
“Speaking of which, Zeng Wenxin was quite a fighter. During the Vietnam War, I actually encountered him once. We were part of the rescue forces sent to save his battalion, and by the ti we arrived, they were down to less than a hundred n, facing hundreds of enemies. The first person I noticed when we got there was Zeng Wenxin. Can you guess why?” Shen Chi seed to recall sothing amusing.
“Why?” Lin Xiaoguai asked curiously.
“One side was our ally and the other the enemy, and only he, one of our allies, had charged into the enemy ranks. He was completely strapped with explosives, enough to kill those hundreds of enemies. With everyone fearing death, the enemies were all too cautious about shooting the explosives, which allowed him to kill freely. He single-handedly held back hundreds of n. If not for that, many of his comrades wouldn’t have survived.”
“Would the enemy be so easily restrained?” Lin Xiaoguai was skeptical.
“Of course, it wasn’t easy,” Shen Chi smiled. “The explosives on Zeng Wenxin were actually fake, not much more powerful than firecrackers. If the enemy shot the explosives, only he would get hurt. Everyone in our forces knew, but only Zeng Wenxin volunteered to be the bait. Everyone knew that if the explosives were not shot, the bait might survive unhard, but once discovered, the bait would just be a live target.”
“What happened to Zeng Wenxin afterward?”
“As soon as the enemy realized the explosives were fake, they shot him up like a hornet’s nest. Fortunately, he was covered with explosives packs, which sowhat shielded him from the bullets. Although he ended up severely wounded, he luckily survived. Have you noticed? Zeng Wenxin actually has many scars on his face, quite light ones from that incident. His body doesn’t have a spot without injury.”
“It’s rumored in the military that his wife left him because she couldn’t handle this,” Shen Chi sighed slightly in the end.
“I didn’t realize you two had such a history,” Lin Xiaoguai remarked, sowhat moved.
“Otherwise, do you think I would easily let go of soone who pushed my son to take the brunt?” Shen Chi replied calmly. “I had a strong impression of him. After I ca to the Capital Military District and saw his na in the archive files, I specifically reviewed his service records. That old guy’s combat skills are indeed comndable. I even thought about transferring him under my command, but he was loyal to his old superior and refused to leave, so I didn’t insist.”
Lin Xiaoguai shook her head, thinking how Shen Chi always knew which tactic to use on whom. The only ti he ssed up was probably with her in a previous life, but that too was fate playing its hand.
To be honest, had she successfully given birth to Little Niangao in her previous life, she might really have continued living with him. Without such profound pain, the conservative her would never have thought of divorce or reached such a confrontational state with him.
Lin Xiaoguai suddenly paused, feeling, perhaps, a sense of calm?
Had she unknowingly reached a point where she could recall those once heart-wrenching mories without pain?
After her rebirth, she had always wanted to forget those grudges and thought it would be hard. Yet, without realizing it, she had already done it.
It turned out every ti she thought of her four brothers, her heart would ache with a faint resentnt, but now, she felt nothing at all.
It wasn’t that the feelings had disappeared, nor had they faded.
As they say, one increases as the other decreases; perhaps when one’s happiness is plentiful, all negative emotions gradually get neutralized.
She looked at Shen Chi, unsure whether to sigh or feel relieved.
In the end, this man still held a crucial place in her heart.
Let it be, just consider it a repaynt for that one ti.
Unintentionally, those consciously forgotten mories erged from the depths of her mind. (To be continued. If you like this work, please go to Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian to read.)
