Chapter 492 [Can’t afford to hurt] (I)

Qin Hongjiang sat in the study, staring at the photo on the table for a long time. The photo was already a little yellow. The family of five was standing on the Mutianyu Great Wall. At that time, the eldest son Qin Zhendong had just joined the army and was dressed in military uniform. He was full of heroism. His second son and third son were in middle school. His daughter Qin Mengmeng was still in elementary school and wearing a red scarf. Everything seemed like yesterday, but everything was out of reach. The people in the photo could no longer get together. Qin Hongjiang picked up the photo, gently stroked his son's face, his lips were tightly pursed. His eyes were slightly red, and his heart was like a mountain pressing on his heart, which made him breathless.

The phone rings again, but Qin Hongjiang still didn't answer. His thick eyebrows frowned, forming a Sichuan character in the center of his eyebrows. He opened the drawer, took out a box of cigarettes, and smoked a dot from it. Qin Hongjiang had experienced countless dangerous scenes in his life, but he had never been nervous and painful like he is now.

Qin Hongjiang heard Chang Yujie's crying, and then the door was pushed open heavily. His wife rushed in with tears on her face. Her voice was hoarse and she said in tears: "Old Qin, Zhendong is gone... Our son Zhendong is gone..."

Qin Hongjiang took a sip of cigarette but did not speak. He tried his best to control his emotions and whispered: "I understand..." Although his tone was calm and soothing, anyone could feel the unshakable sadness in his words.

Chang Yujie rushed up like crazy, grabbed his arm, and shook it hard: "Old Qin, our son is dead..."

Qin Hongjiang looked at his wife's grief expression and sighed softly. He patted Chang Yujie's back of his hand and said, "I understand..."

Chang Yujie cried and punched Qin Hongjiang on the shoulder: "You know... Can you still be so calm when you know? You know... Do you know... you know that bitch killed our son, she did it, she did it!"

Qin Hongjiang pursed his lips, his wife could no longer control her emotions. He sighed and said, "The case is not clear yet, don't talk nonsense."

Chang Yujie said with tears in her eyes: "I'm talking nonsense? Someone saw Zhendong go to find her. They went upstairs together. The gun was covered with her fingerprints... She killed Zhendong..."

Qin Hongjiang shouted angrily: "What are you talking about?"

Chang Yujie screamed: "I didn't say nonsense. If it weren't for her, why would she run away? She didn't even want her own son, why would she run away?"

Qin Hongjiang said angrily: "Look at how you look now, you have completely lost your mind. Zhendong is our son, and Mengmeng is also our daughter!"

Qin Hongjiang's words obviously stimulated Chang Yujie's nerves. She shouted like crazy: "She is not! She has never been! If you hadn't saved her back then, our biological daughter would not have died, and our son would not have died..."

The muscles on Qin Hongjiang's face twitched suddenly. He raised his hand and slapped Chang Yujie hard, making Chang Yujie confused. Then he cried and bumped into Qin Hongjiang. Qin Hongjiang said angrily: "Believe it or not, I will shoot you!"

Qin Zhenyuan and Qin Zhen's cousins, who had been eavesdropping outside, rushed in quickly, one of them hugged their mother and the other stopped their angry father.

Chang Yujie shouted at the top of her lungs: "You kill me, I don't want to live anymore. I'll go down to accompany Zhendong, I'll go with him..."

Qin Hongjiang turned around and walked towards the desk. Qin Zhenyuan thought his father was really going to get a gun. He knelt in front of his father with a plop and hugged his legs: "Dad! Dad, don't be angry, don't be angry!"

Qin Zhentang said: "Mom, what did you say? You said Mengmeng is not your biological child? Is it true or false?"

Chang Yujie pointed at Qin Hongjiang and said, "You should ask him? Go and ask your father who is righteous... He left his biological daughter but did not save him... but went to save a girl he didn't know... It's a pity... He saved a wolf cub... a bitch... She killed your sister, and now she killed your brother..."

Qin Hongjiang grabbed the ashtray on the table and smashed it at Chang Yujie. Qin Zhentang protected his mother with his body. Commander Qin's hand strength was extraordinary. It made Qin Zhentang feel very painful. He persuaded him and persuaded him to leave the study room.

Qin Hongjiang sat down on the rattan chair weakly. His second son Qin Zhenyuan saw the photo on the table and asked with red eyes: "Dad, is it all my mother's words true?"

Qin Hongjiang did not answer his question immediately, but took out a cigarette and picked up the lighter on the table without lit it several times. Qin Zhenyuan took out his lighter and lit the cigarette for his father.

Qin Hongjiang said: "She is right. Mengmeng is not our biological child... Your sister was sent to Ning'an shortly after she was born. Shortly after she was born, she was sent to Ning'an to live with your grandparents. Twenty years ago, a major earthquake occurred in Ning'an. I received instructions from the central government to lead the troops to Ning'an to rescue the disaster. In that earthquake, almost all your grandparents and their family died in the earthquake. At that time, your sister Mengmeng was in the local government kindergarten. The rescue in the kindergarten was directed by me personally. I will never forget the tragic scene that day..."

Qin Hongjiang took a strong breath of cigarette, and his deep eyes showed unspeakable grief: "So many children were pressed under the collapsed classroom. The two teachers used their bodies to protect the children. I am the commander of the scene, and I am even a soldier. At this critical moment of life and death, I must make a choice. When a second collapse occurs on the scene, I must make a choice. One is the daughter of the dead female teacher, and the other is your real sister Mengmeng..." Qin Hongjiang could not continue, and his eyes were set out to the window. At this time, the sky was covered with clouds, just like his current mood.

Although the father did not finish the following, Qin Zhenyuan already knew that his father saved the daughter of the female teacher and gave up the life of his biological daughter. Qin Mengmeng, although this name belongs to their sister, Qin Mengmeng has no blood relationship with them. Qin Zhenyuan whispered: "Dad! You have done what a soldier should do. If you were me, you would make the same choice in that environment."

Qin Hongjiang dropped the ashes on the ground and whispered: "Your mother knew the news of your sister's death, and she was almost crazy. Mengmeng was only two years old at that time. Her mother died and could not contact her father. I could only take her home and give her to your mother for care. Maybe it was because your mother always had a shadow on her psychology. She didn't like Mengmeng and was always very repulsive to her. Later, I hired a nanny for Mengmeng..."

Qin Zhenyuan said: "Dad, do you know about this?"

Qin Hongjiang nodded and said, "He knew that he was already in his teens at that time, so how could he not remember his sister's appearance... And your mother was crying all day long, so how could he not see it?"

Qin Zhenyuan said: "Dad, do you know if Mengmeng himself?"

Qin Hongjiang took a strong sip of cigarette: "I didn't know at first, until she was fourteen years old, your mother beat her hard because of a trivial matter. When I knew it, I got angry and had a big fuss with your mother. When we were quarreling in the study that night, Mengmeng didn't expect Mengmeng to hear it..." Qin Hongjiang closed his eyes in pain: "Mengmeng has known her life experience since then, and she has begun to become taciturn."

Qin Zhenyuan sighed and said, "Dad, I am so numb. Since I was a child, I felt that my mother has always disliked Mengmeng. I thought she didn't like girls. Now I realize that it's because of this."

Qin Hongjiang said: "Maybe it was really me who was wrong. I shouldn't have brought Mengmeng to this family. I ignored your mother's feelings. Over the past twenty years, your sister's death has tortured her all the time."

Qin Zhenyuan whispered: "Dad, my elder brother rented a house in the community where Mengmeng and Qin Huan live, right in their opposite building. According to the initial clues obtained by the police, my elder brother and Mengmeng had an argument downstairs this afternoon. Later, Mengmeng followed him to the upper floor. The elder brother died under his own gun. The gun was covered with Mengmeng's fingerprints. He shot at the close range and used the sofa cushion as a buffer. The murderer had received regular military training and shot at his heart... three consecutive shots... What kind of hatred is this... Dad... I don't believe it would be Mengmeng, but..."

Qin Hongjiang's chest was fluctuating violently, and his painful emotions could no longer be controlled. They spread to his face and to every part of his body. His hands holding the smoke began to tremble violently.

Qin Zhenyuan continued: "Brother should have lived there for a while. The police found a camera, telescope, and many photos in his room..." Qin Zhenyuan took out a photo from his pocket: "I want one."

Qin Hongjiang took it and saw the photo of Qin Mengmeng and Qin Huan and his son playing on the balcony. At a glance, he knew that the photo was taken without the mother and son.

Qin Hongjiang threw the cigarette butt on the ground. He was usually a person who paid great attention to neatness. The sudden bad news made him feel inexplicably sad and in chaos.

Qin Zhenyuan said: "Dad, Mengmeng is missing, mom asked us to bring Qin Huan back."

Qin Hongjiang was shocked, and he suddenly stood up and said, "Where is the child?"

Qin Zhenyuan clearly noticed his father's nervousness and concern, and he whispered: "I'll let Hongmei coax him."
