Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi- Bo Studio
The elders admired the Huo Corporation’s latest research and development, and they also lamented that the pharmaceutical industry had been able to flourish in recent years. It was indeed the blessing of ordinary people. They did not know when they would be able to see the ranking of domestic pharmaceutical companies on the list of international pharmaceutical companies. But now, the difference was like the difference between clouds and mud.
When he thought about how this concerned the health and lives of millions of ordinary people, Elder Xu became even more cautious about the choice of the two heirs of the Huo Family. An immoral manager would not do anything to benefit the people. Therefore, he would be extremely cautious between Huo
Shengyuan and Huo Jiuxiao.
Soon, it was lunchtime.
The Xu family held a banquet by the lake. There were not many guests, and one table was enough.
Xu Jingzhi was still sitting between Huo Shengyuan and Mu Qingya with a sour face, as if everyone at the table owed him money. However, no one cared because there were no outsiders here. Everyone knew what kind of temperament he had.
Although Elder Xu was dissatisfied with Xu Jingzhi’s attitude, he did not oppose him. He only mentioned Elder An before the banquet began.
“I recently read your Elder An’s new book, ‘Returning the Phoenix to Mountain’. I remember that there’s such a story in it. The general of the resistance army was seriously injured during the fierce battle with the enemy and fell into the lake. And the person who saved his life was a village woman from Fenghuan Mountain. The two of them got along day and night, and as time passed, they fell in love, so they naturally became husband and wife.”
“Not long after, Feng Huan Mountain was ambushed by the enemy. In order to protect her husband, this village woman sacrificed her eyes and legs, and in order to cover the villagers’ retreat, she narrowly escaped death. She could be said to be a heroine, not inferior to men. However, what made people sigh was that she was an enemy spy. If it were you, what would you do if reinforcements arrived?”
Mu Qingya almost rolled her eyes at Elder Xu’s question. This was not the era of the War of Resistance, and there were not that many spies sacrificed. Why would he ask such an assumption that it would never happen again?
These old thing only had war and sacrifice in their minds. But this was the technological era. Wasn’t scientific research and economics important?
“Hand him over. Only with a country can we have a home. Moreover, as a general of the war, you must realize that if you want to win, you have to sacrifice.” Huo Shengyuan answered first.
It was a very standard answer, and it was within Elder Xu’s expectations. However, he wanted to hear something different. Therefore, he turned his gaze to Xu Jingzhi. However, Xu Jingzhi said in a bad mood, “Isn’t what Brother Shengyuan said right? Even if she saved him, she is still a spy.” “Don’t you have a guilty conscience?” Elder Xu asked him back.
In the end, Elder Xu’s gaze landed on Huo Jiuxiao, and Lin Wanli also pinched his palm, indicating that he had been called out.
“I’ll die with her,” Huo Jiuxiao replied without any expression.
After hearing Huo Jiuxiao’s answer, Elder An was stunned for a moment because it was a perfect answer. In the country, this general had an explanation. He indeed did not cover up for the spy. Personally, she was his lover and benefactor. He could not abandon or betray her. Therefore, to die together was to make the best choice as a person, as a man with indomitable spirit.
“Don’t you feel sorry?” Elder Xu asked, somewhat moved.
“If not for his wife, this general would have died long ago. How could he be patriotic? What was the ultimate purpose of being patriotic? To put it bluntly, he wanted to defend his homeland. To put it simply, it was to protect the lives of the people and safeguard their dignity. Going against my conscience and stepping on the corpse of my benefactor to love my country is a loss of dignity.
I can hand over the person, but I won’t live alone.”
War was cruel, and Huo Jiuxiao’s choice was tragic.
However, he still had an explanation for his country and those who had been saved by the general’s wife.
What was the most charming thing about a man of blood? Wasn’t he responsible for everything in the country?
“The ending that you, Elder An, drew is exactly the same as your choice.”
“That’s only right.” Huo Jiuxiao said without hesitation, “Those who have been on the battlefield, seen the rainforest of bullets, and seen the joys and sorrows of separation and reunion all understand the meaning of war. That’s not something you can understand by sitting in the office all day or staying on the training ground. ”
“There’s a point to sitting in an office.” Huo Shengyuan retorted.
“No one denied the significance of you sitting in the office. It’s just that I can sit in the office too, but you can’t hold a gun.” This was what it meant to instantly kill..
