Chapter 1497: Chapter 1497: Won’t Your Conscience Hurt?
“Why are you here again?” Mu Mian’s face darkened, “Didn’t I say you are not allowed to co again? Why do you keep coming?”
“Mu Mian, I’m your dad! Why do you always talk to dad in that tone?”
“Mu Qiankun! I have already severed father-daughter ties with you!” Mu Mian looked at him disappointedly, “Please leave! I don’t want your image to be completely ruined in my heart.”
“Are you adamant about severing ties with ? Why must you take this step? Where have I wronged you?” Mu Qiankun said angrily.
“You know very well yourself.” Mu Mian glared at him and turned to leave.
Mu Qiankun hurriedly followed for a few steps, then said to Mu Mian, “Where’s the letter? Hand it over?”
“What letter?” Mu Mian pretended not to know.
“Stop hiding it. I heard everything you said.” Mu Qiankun looked at his daughter, “Can’t you give your dad a break? I earn money so you can live happily. Don’t you like Lin Sheng? When I have more money soday, I’ll marry you off to Lin Sheng in style, wouldn’t that be nice?”
“Dad, that’s not what I want. I just want to ask, during those things you do, doesn’t your conscience hurt? Doesn’t it?” Mu Mian nearly squeezed the words out through clenched teeth.
“Hurt? It’s better than starving. You’re my only daughter. Your mom died early and left you to ; I could only—”
Mu Qiankun’s words were cut off by Mu Mian, “Stop talking. The captain inside is a very smart man, and he will figure it out eventually. Although I hate you, I don’t want you to get into trouble. Please leave!”
After things reached this point, what else could Mu Qiankun do, who couldn’t bear to leave his daughter?
He had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.
Before leaving, he said to Mu Mian, “Rember, don’t leave an address when sending the letter.”
………
The fifth day, the military’s holiday was over.
The earthquake relief task was completed, and now it was ti for post-disaster reconstruction; the higher-ups demanded that they rebuild the houses and fix the roads to high quality in the shortest ti, and restore communication in the village.
Everything had started in full swing.
It had been a while since Qin Jian and Tian Niu disappeared. Although the news hadn’t been announced yet, it had already spread throughout the camp.
Captain Qin and Battalion Commander Tian were gloriously sacrificed.
After this reconstruction work ended, the military was going to hold a comndation ceremony.
Captain Qin and Tian Niu were to be posthumously awarded first-class rits. Collective second-class rits for officers below deputy battalion level, and a few warriors who perford excellently during the earthquake were also to be awarded second-class rits, among other honors…
No one knew where this information had co from, but it was detailed.
Upon hearing this news in the disaster area, Hen Zhiyuan was so overjoyed that he couldn’t close his mouth for days.
anwhile, the Ning Family was covered in dark clouds.
It was certain that the bodies would not be found; to uncover the bodies of Qin Jian and Tian Niu, Zhang Jianguo had mobilized an entire battalion of engineers.
That battalion nearly turned the foot of the mountain into a huge pit.
Still, there was no news.
Everyone kept their heads down and worked, not daring to say anything, but it was clear in everyone’s mind that the legendary figure from the Northern Military Region was not coming back.
Qin Jian was not coming back.
A week later, the comndation ceremony was suddenly to be held.
Normally, this ceremony took place before the New Year, affecting the warriors’ promotions and changes in rank within the camp the following year, as there were tilines for promotions in the military.
If you couldn’t climb up within the set tiline, then the harsh reality hit, and it was ti for you to either transfer to another service or be discharged.
But, this year was exceptional, so it was moved to after the New Year.
Originally, they planned to hold it after the reconstruction ended, but the battle lines were too extended.
So, after discussions among the military leaders, it was decided to hold the comndation ceremony earlier.
On this particular morning, Yan Ye was also about to depart for the disaster area, when Yan Huan rembered the white coats she had promised to wash for Yan Ye.
She hurriedly went to grab the pile of dirty clothes, but unexpectedly, two letters fell out from among the clothes.
“What’s this?” She was startled and picked them up.
