Chapter 1929: Mysterious Past
Opening the folder, the first thing that she saw was a photo of a young woman in an old military uniform. She looked very familiar. This was… her mother. Although she had only been with her for less than four years, she would always remember her gentle appearance.
After a lifetime, it was still so vivid.
The reception room was so quiet that no one seemed to exist; there wasn’t even the sound of breathing.
Director Cai looked at Ye Jian, who was reading carefully. When she turned the second page, she read softly, “…The mission back then was indeed a mission with no return. Some people used their positions to collude with the dark forces. And this opened up the country’s convenience and allowed them to make huge profits from it.”
“I’m afraid your mother knew how bad luck she was when she received the mission. Before leaving, she told us that she has a daughter in her hometown. If she doesn’t come back, we must take care of her.”
“In those days, we weren’t able to find out who used their identities to open the country and participated in smuggling and drug trafficking. We couldn’t find those people with what we had at that time. The ugliness of a family cannot be publicized. This was the same for the ugliness of a country. Most of them will be concealed.”
It was an era when everything began to emerge. Some people could not contain their minds, could not withstand the temptation of money, and began to violate the original oath, and stepped toward sin.
“Look at what the comrade who was on the mission with your mother said. He said that your mother called a person’s name loudly in her native dialect before she died, and then she was attacked and shot in the chest and killed instantly.”
“This was her sacrifice…” Director Cai stopped abruptly and silently took out a kraft paper envelope from the other pocket of the briefcase, putting it gently on the coffee table and slowly pushing it in front of Ye Jian, “…Ye Jian, take a look at this.”
Seemingly to know what was in it, Ye Jian’s already stretched out hand shrank back suddenly and glanced at the secretive Director Cai. Her hands clenched into fists, and when she released it again, she had made a decision. She quickly picked up the envelope.
There was a picture inside, even after more than ten years, the color was still so bright, the red national flag, some greenish leaves, and lying under the national flag…, Ye Jian’s lips trembled, her eyes flickering with tears, “…This is a photo of my mother at the time of sacrifice. She is lying under the flag, right?”
“Yes, child, that is Martyr Sun Xueqing lying under the flag. This is the photo taken after her sacrifice.”
Director Cai’s voice was full of sadness. It had been more than ten years later. Talking about his comrade who had saved his life and her sacrifice still made him feel sad.
Tears rolled out of Ye Jian’s eyes, dripping drop by drop. She looked at the photo closely, and a low whimper of grief came out in her throat.
The entire national flag covered her mother’s body, from head to toe. There was only a vague outline of her body. She could not see her mother’s face and body, but…she could see the bloodstain on the red flag.
“The country that performed the task with Sun Xueqing said that before her sacrifice, she yelled in her hometown dialect. It was very short like she was calling someone’s name. Unfortunately, there were so many bullets at the time, and he could not remember what your mother said.”
“Look at the second photo… The second photo is a bit bloody. It’s a combat dagger stained with blood. Later, when extracting the tissue from the combat dagger, we found that it was the tissue of a human eye.”
“In other words, before your mother died, she stabbed a criminal in the eye with her combat dagger.”
