Chapter 1226: 1226: Brothers In Trouble
“He told me to protect you. He said that he would come back for us once he was safe. He even told me not to trust anyone.”
Even today, as Du Yanzheng spoke about that devastating night, he still felt his scalp turn numb.
“I carried you on my back and left. He was still running next to me, but slowly, he was running behind me. He told me to head east and continue running. I was only allowed to stop when I got exhausted.
“When I ran, I could feel our father running as well, but he headed in the opposite direction.”
!!The reason? Du Yanzheng and Zhan Lichuan had both grown to become powerful and capable men. They obviously knew what their father had in mind.
Their father was trying to distract their enemies.
From the moment their father went into the opposite direction, it meant that he would not be able to make it back alive.
Their father had sacrificed his life in exchange for their safety.
“Father… What’s his name?”
Although Zhan Lichuan had never met his father, he still felt heartbroken.
“Du Bo.”
Zhan Lichuan was confused. “The Du family?”
Du Yanzheng nodded his head and said, “Du Heng is our grandfather, our biological grandfather.”
Zhan Lichuan was surprised to hear such news.
“When our father was young, he was the most talented son of the Du family. Then, he headed off to the Central. Soon after that, their family received news that father had passed away, but grandfather knew that his son was only working for a top secret laboratory.
“Our father has never told grandfather what our mother did for a living. He only sent out a signal to our grandfather before he died. Unfortunately, the forces of the Du family in the Central were very limited. By the time grandfather found me, I already lost you.”
Hearing how guilty Du Yanzheng was, Zhan Lichuan asked instead, “What happened?”
“It was snowing heavily that night. It was freezing cold and since we left in a hurry, I only brought along one can of milk powder, but before you could have them, they were poured into the ground.”
Seeing how guilty Du Yanzheng was, Zhan Lichuan couldn’t help but chuckle.
Du Yanzheng stared at Zhan Lichuan, “why are you laughing?!”
This was the darkest moment of his life. God knows how devastated he felt that day when he realized he had lost his brother. He almost killed himself.
However, Zhan Lichuan spoke mercilessly, “Nothing. It’s just that I can’t imagine that the man who owned 70% of the mercenaries worldwide, the holy Z of the Sanctuary, would spill a baby’s milk powder.”
“You bastard! You don’t even have a hint of sympathy for your brother.”
Seeing the smile on Zhan Lichuan’s face, Du Yanzheng realized that he could finally move on from the part of his life that he had hated and was hurt by the most.
This was the first time that he had shown his wounds with such a calm manner.
“The snow was heavy and it was freezing. When I took you out of your warm bed, you kept crying. I was worried that your voice might attract the enemies. I turned to you and told you not to cry since we were in danger. With that, you really stopped crying. You even showed me a bright smile.
“In the end, you cried again because you got hungry. I wanted to make some milk for you, but I didn’t have any warm water. I went to one of the restaurants and when I asked for some water, there were a bunch of kids that targeted us. All of them were taller than me. There were three of them in total. They threw away all the milk powder that I had and you were left with nothing.”
At this point, both the brothers became quiet.
“Those that are clean can still be used,” Zhan Lichuan said. as if he was someone thrifty.
