Chapter 18: Suspicion
After a while, he calmed down and finally found me next to him.
"What are you going to do?" He didn't turn his head to look at me, still looking up at the sky, his voice hoarse.
"Are you alright?" I asked softly.
"I thought... I'm still hating her. But when I saw that she was living happily, that she had someone who loved her very much, and that she had a very cute child, I didn't feel a little hatred, a little hate, but felt very happy. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he said softly.
The pain that had been buried for a long time was thought to be scabbed and no longer painful.
Who knows, after more than ten years, when it was dug up again, it was found that the wound seemed to have recovered, but it was still bloody inside.
"Little Martyr......" he called out to me in a choked voice.
I was stunned for a moment, and after four years, he called me "Xiao Yan" again, and after Xiao Xuan died, no one called me Xiao Yan anymore.
"Can you ...... Don't go on a mission ... Pleaseβ" He turned his head to look at me, and in the moonlight, I could see his face.
His eyes were red, and he looked at me with pleading eyes.
"I... I..."
This is the second time I've seen him so helpless, the first time was when Xiao Xuan left, at that time, he didn't break down and cry, nor did he live in decadence, he just scolded me and went on to live as usual and carry out the task.
But one day, when I arrived at the base of our three-person squad, I saw him, he was sitting in the seat belonging to Xiao Xuan, looking at her picture and crying silently, like a young beast that could not find its way, lost in the night.
At that time, Xiao Xuan had been gone for a year.
I didn't know what to do, but on the one hand, I was instructed by my teacher and asked for help by my friend......
Suddenly, he grabbed my hand tightly and said to me excitedly: "It's good to find information, just pretend to kill them, huh?" β
I said to him softly, "Do you really think that the teacher won't find out?" β
"Aren't you the most gifted agent in the organization? I know you can, you can...... Good no good... I begged you... Okay...... his eyes were red and two lines of tears flowed, and I knew very well that this was the first time he had begged someone.
With patience, I turned my head to look him in the eye and whispered to him, "I was thinking from the beginning why the teacher asked us to do this task. β
"The teacher never assigns me to a long-term task, let alone you, because we are not good at this, and the teacher knows all this, but why did he assign us anyway? It can't be because there's no one. β
"I didn't figure it out until I knew that Zheng Lan was your mother."
"Luo Shaofeng, do you remember that the old man in the cemetery last time still has a purple hyacinth?"
He didn't understand why I mentioned this, but nodded back anyway, "Remember, is this related?" β
I replied, "Yes, of course." β
"I saw at that time that there was a scar on the deceased's right arm, and when Qin Yan helped us carry our luggage today, I saw the exact same scar on Qin Yan's right arm."
"Now I find out that Qin Yan is the deceased of my parents, Zheng Lan is your mother, and Qin Luo is your half-brother."
"And they're all the targets of our mission, and they're all the people we're going to kill."
I paused, chuckled, and asked, "Do you think the teacher didn't investigate us?" β
