"Old man, we are very hot, you put down the gun first, let's talk about what we have to say slowly." Liang Zhecheng walked towards him slowly while talking.

"Don't come here!" The old man yelled and shot the ground not far from Liang Zhecheng's feet.

Liang Zhecheng was so frightened that he hurriedly took several steps back.

Seeing that his demonstration had worked, the old man smiled triumphantly, "One more step forward, the bullets will not be shot on the ground!"

Xia Houlei frowned and gave Liang Zhecheng a look, "Is this my father's comrade in arms?"

Liang Zhecheng shook his head and looked a little disappointed, "I don't know, but he has only appeared so far, so it must be him."

Xia Houlei pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then strode towards the old man.

"What are you doing?! Back up! Back up!" the old man yelled and moved back unconsciously.

Xia Houlei looked directly at the old man without flinching, "Xiahou Yanning, do you know him?"

The hand of the old man holding the gun trembled, he was in a daze, but within half a second he returned to his lunatic appearance just now, "Who is Xiahou Yanping! I don't know him! Get out of here! Get out of here!"

Xia Houlei could tell at a glance that the old man was lying. He grabbed the handle of the gun and pulled the distance between them closer, "My name is Xia Houlei, and I am Xiahou Yanping's son." His voice was very calm, but it was full of deterrent force.

All the psychological defenses of the old man collapsed now. He put down the gun decadently, with mixed emotions rolling in his throat, "It's time to come... It's still here... What do you want to know...?"

Xia Houlei's eyes lit up, it seemed that he had found the right person!This old man is really Xiahou Yanping's comrade-in-arms!

"Master! My father is missing." Xia Houlei hurriedly said, "I presume that he was caught here. I guess the reason why he disappeared is related to the battle my father participated in when he was young! You know what happened at that time something?"

The old man sat on the ground casually, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, rolled some unidentifiable grass and stuffed it into his mouth, "Is there a fire?"

Liang Zhecheng handed his cigarette and fire to the old man. The old man waved his hand and only took the lighter. After lighting the cigarette, he took several puffs, and saw that more than half of the cigarette he just rolled went down.

"That happened decades ago... I thought I would take it to the grave, who knew... I really can't do anything wrong!" He sighed, stuffed the butt of the cigarette under his feet and crushed it , Then rolled another cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth.

"First of all, let me tell you my name! I am Zhang Delong, the regiment secretary of the 41nd Regiment of the 121st Division of the former 362st Army." The old man's eyes were full of vicissitudes. He took a deep breath and returned to the past. Remember, the second regiment, that is, the regiment your father was in suddenly disappeared. I received an order from my superiors to rescue you, but... at that time, there were not many of my men left, and I..." Zhang Delong He said with some sobs, "I didn't dare to take risks at the time. Everyone knows that if I disappeared on the battlefield, I must not be able to find it. Later, I saw the corpse of the head of the second regiment on a tree, which made me even more determined. I can't wait for my brothers to take risks. I passed a false news to my superiors, telling them that the brothers of the second regiment are dead... After that, I brought my brothers back. ..”

Xia Houlei frowned when he heard this, which was different from the past recorded in his father's diary, "But it was written in my father's diary that he went to the battlefield to kill the enemy after returning... Could it be that no one Expose your lies?"

Zhang Delong covered his face and shook his head, "Yes, someone found out, and I found out too. I was afraid that my superiors would find out that I was lying and revoke my post as party secretary. This incident ruined my future... It happened that a person found me at that time. He was from the enemy country. He told me that as long as I did what he said, no one would know about this matter... I was obsessed with ghosts at the time! I don't know what I was thinking...I...I agreed!" Zhang Delong said with his shoulders trembling violently, and he tried hard to suppress his regret and agitation.

"Who is that person? How did he know about this?" Xia Houlei asked urgently.

Zhang Delong wiped his nose and shook his head, "I don't know who he is, and I don't know how he knew about it, but the appearance of this person at that time was like a life-saving straw, and I definitely couldn't miss it. So... .I did as he said..."

"What did he say?? What did he ask you to do?!" Xia Houlei asked, grabbing his wrist.

The old man smiled bitterly, his dry lips trembling up and down, he shook his head helplessly, "I promised myself, I can't say... I can't say..."

"Secretary Zhang! You have been wrong all your life! Do you want to continue to be wrong?" Xia Houlei said anxiously, frowning.

"Lei, take your time." Liang Zhecheng was afraid that Xia Houlei's reaction would be too violent and scare the old man, so he persuaded, "Old man, the wrong thing you did at the beginning is still fermenting today, decades later, so you just let it go." Let that person speak out... We will let you off, so that this matter can be terminated as soon as possible, and no more irrelevant people will be involved."

Zhang Delong looked at Liang Zhecheng imploringly, "I...I..."

"It's okay old man, we are all here, after you say it, you can go back to your hometown..." Liang Zhecheng held his dry hand.

Zhang Delong was very nervous. He took several deep breaths to adjust his emotions, "I don't know the name of that person. I only know his code name, which is Crocodile. He asked me to do one thing, as long as I do it. Well, it can deceive people and make... those who survived disappear without a sound."

Xia Houlei felt a pain in his heart, what Zhang Delong said was like countless sharp claws scratching his heart, it was painful and unbearable, before stepping into the battlefield, they were brothers and comrades-in-arms, but when it came to their own interests, they turned against each other... .

How terrible are human beings?

"Crocodile, what did the crocodile make you do?" Liang Zhecheng asked as calmly as possible.

"The crocodile made me..." Before Zhang Delong finished speaking, the dilapidated house suddenly began to shake.

Zhang Delong's eyes widened vigilantly, "The house is about to collapse!"

"Old man, stand up quickly and I'll carry you out! Lei! You go out first!" Liang Zhecheng called eagerly.

"The day has finally come... This day has finally come... I can finally be free..." Zhang Delong muttered something they couldn't understand.

"Don't talk about it, old man! Stand up!" Liang Zhecheng slipped on the soles of his feet, and he almost fell several times, but he kept holding Zhang Delong's hand as he walked.

Zhang Delong stood up slowly, and took a step back, "I can finally die..." He smiled and pushed Liang Zhecheng hard. As the house collapsed, he was buried in countless construction waste.

The ground under Xia Houlei's feet had already cracked a big crack. He stared closely at Liang Zhecheng, "Zhecheng! We're running out of time, let's go!"

Liang Zhecheng was very guilty. He looked at Zhang Delong's fallen ruins and opened his mouth without making any sound. He sighed and turned his head to follow Xia Houlei. The two ran fast, but they still couldn't keep up with the speed of the house collapse.

Xia Houlei ran to a window, "Zhecheng! Let's jump out from here!"

Liang Zhecheng nodded. As soon as the two jumped out, the house behind them collapsed into pieces as if they had lost their soul, stirring up countless dust.

After everything returned to calm, Liang Zhecheng propped himself up and looked at the ruins behind him in a daze. If only... he could hold Zhang Delong just now?You may not be able to know everything... Maybe you will be able to find Xiahou Yanping by following the clues...

Xia Houlei brushed his dusty hair and coughed a few times, "Let's go! We need to take a shower when we go back."

"Lei...I'm sorry..." Liang Zhecheng said guiltily.

Xia Houlei smiled and shook his head, "What kind of apology are you saying? If it wasn't for you, I might have been shot and collapsed by the runaway old man."

Liang Zhecheng pursed his lips and still felt uncomfortable. He finally found someone who knew the truth, and he died in front of his eyes...

"Let's go!" Xia Houlei pulled him up and patted him on the back. Liang Zhecheng looked at the subtle expression on Xia Houlei's face and sighed. Liang Zhecheng was stopped by Xia Houlei just as he was about to open the door. With one look, Liang Zhecheng deliberately pretended to have a stomach ache and bent down. The moment they turned to leave, a flame burst out from inside the car, and then a mushroom cloud exploded.

Liang Zhecheng's footsteps were a little unsteady, he almost fell, Xia Houlei kept holding him tightly to keep him from falling.

"Let's go!" Xia Houlei said in a low voice.

Liang Zhecheng nodded, and the two quickly disappeared into the alley.

Turning left and turning right, they finally returned to their base area. As soon as they entered the room, they both sat on the ground as if trying to lose their strength.

"Lei, how did you find out that there was something wrong with the car?" Liang Zhecheng asked, thinking about it now, he was still afraid for a while.

Xia Houlei smiled and shook his head, "Instinct?"

Liang Zhecheng hooked Xia Houlei's shoulder and squeezed it. If he hadn't been vigilant, he would have turned into a mushroom cloud at this moment.

"Thank you." Liang Zhecheng said sincerely.

Xia Houlei pursed his lips deliberately, "Can we be normal? You're gay."

Liang Zhecheng rolled his eyes, "Then I'll be more gay, and if I'm a woman in the next life, I'll play with you for free."

As soon as Liang Zhecheng said this, the tense nerves of the two were relaxed. They both laughed out loud. The feeling of survival after the catastrophe made them all cherish the future life even more.

"Don't blame yourself, at least we got another piece of news, crocodile." Xia Houlei said.

Liang Zhecheng nodded, "In this way, the scope of the investigation is also reduced a lot."

After they adjusted their mood, they realized that something was wrong.

"Eh? Where's Yuexi..." Liang Zhecheng looked at the sky and said to himself, it was already half dark, why did she disappear?

Xia Houlei stepped forward, "What's wrong?"

"Yuexi hasn't come back yet..." Liang Zhecheng couldn't help feeling a little worried, with more and more bad preconceptions in his heart, and he was afraid that something might happen to her going out alone...

"Try calling!" Xia Houlei said.

It was only then that Liang Zhecheng realized that there was still a phone call he could make. He frantically took out his mobile phone and dialed Sun Yuexi's number, but no one answered for a long time, and finally the cold goddess was ushered in.

"Sorry, the call you dialed was not answered, please try again later."

Liang Zhecheng's heartbeat became more and more unstable, he spat and threw the phone aside, "Do you think it's possible that something happened to her?"

Xia Houlei's brows tightened, and she was a little unsure. If she simply came back late, it would be too coincidental if you look at the series of things that happened today...

He always felt that all the events of this day, including Sun Yuexi's inexplicable disappearance, were somehow related, but he hadn't figured out the specific connection yet.

"What should I do?" Liang Zhecheng obviously started to panic.

Xia Houlei took a deep breath and looked at the sky, his mind was full of thoughts. Many complicated clues formed a fuzzy spider web in his mind. He wanted to straighten everything out, but there were too many random things , the more he thought about it, the more his head hurt.

"It's okay, it's okay, Yuexi is definitely okay...she is so powerful, even I am no match for her, she must be okay!" Liang Zhecheng comforted himself stiffly, and this is all he can do now...

Xia Houlei walked to Sun Yuexi's usual desk, flipped through the series of materials she investigated, maybe she could find something from here.

Thinking so, he pulled the drawers on the table, and one of the drawers was locked!He pulled hard, "Zhecheng! Find the key!"

Liang Zhecheng swallowed, he suppressed his rolling emotions, turned around for the key, "No...can't find it..."

Xia Houlei knocked on the drawer, the bottom was very thin, he found a Swiss Army knife from the luggage, he chiseled hard at the bottom of the drawer, a hole was made after a while, Xia Houlei reached in and pulled out the contents .

After completing a series of actions, Xia Houlei was already sweating, and there was a photo in the drawer.

Liang Zhecheng and Xia Houlei gasped when they looked at this photo.

In the photo, Sun Yuexi is wearing a military uniform and holding a gun in her hand. There are many women like her beside her. The one standing in the middle...is actually Lin Xi who they have been investigating!

Xia Houlei's support on the table was a little unsteady, did Sun Yuexi and Lin Xi know each other? !

What is the relationship between the two people?Before I hired her, I had clearly investigated her previous experience, but I didn't find this paragraph!Sun Yuexi... who is it? ?What kind of past do you have? !

Military uniform... guns... Xia Houlei narrowed his eyes dangerously. Sure enough, is it also related to the incident that happened decades ago?

"Lei...what does this photo... mean..." Liang Zhecheng gasped.

Xia Houlei's two eyebrows were almost knit together, "It seems that Yuexi, like my father, was kidnapped by this woman." He whispered.

Liang Zhecheng leaned on the table dejectedly, "This Lin Xi... why can't I find out anything about her! Who is she!" Liang Zhecheng had already collapsed.

Will Sun Yuexi come back?Liang Zhecheng felt sore when he put down the half-eaten strawberry cake on the table. He knew this woman too well, she must have only eaten half on purpose, and kept the remaining half for his sweet tooth...
