85: Flag-raising ceremony, meeting the elder brother outside the military region

Jiang Chuan naturally didn't know about this matter. After he and Qin Lingwei parted ways, they didn't immediately return to the hotel but instead headed to the commercial district of the capital.

The commercial district in the capital was extremely developed, and Jiang Chuan and the others naturally indulged in some shopping along the way.

Lin Xiaoxiao bought very little; most of the clothing purchased was for Jiang Chuan.

The saying, "Clothes make the man, the saddle makes the horse," was absolutely true. When Jiang Chuan changed into those fashionable, exquisite designer clothes, his already handsome face seemed to be given new life, instantly becoming more defined and profound.

The saleswoman looked at the completely transformed Jiang Chuan before her and couldn't help but gasp in surprise. She had never seen such a handsome man, and for a moment, she was stunned.

What was even more astonishing was that Jiang Chuan's demeanor also underwent a massive change along with his clothes. He exuded a confidence and elegance that made people unable to resist taking a second look.

This unique charm naturally attracted the gaze of countless women along the way, and some bolder girls even asked for Jiang Chuan's contact information, but he refused them all.

The three returned to their respective rooms. Jiang Chuan instructed Liu Yong to use his military connections, as he wanted to take Lin Xiaoxiao to see Lin Yi tomorrow.

Liu Yong naturally took Jiang Chuan's request very seriously, contacting the military leadership immediately and receiving their approval.

The next day.

At two o'clock in the morning, Jiang Chuan and the other two woke up, quickly washed up, and headed straight to the venue, planning to watch the flag raising ceremony that day.

After waiting for several hours, the three finally saw the flag raising ceremony... Several hours passed, and finally, the solemn and exciting moment arrived—the National Flag Guard marched toward the flagpole with neat and powerful steps.

Accompanied by the stirring national anthem, the red flag slowly rose. That bright red flag looked exceptionally dazzling in the morning light, like a brilliant pearl embedded in the sky.

Every flutter of it carried an indescribable power, allowing people to feel the greatness and glory of the motherland.

The three looked solemn, their eyes following the red flag without moving an inch. In this moment, their hearts were filled with love and respect for their country.

This was not just a flag; it was a symbol of the national spirit, representing the blood and sacrifice of countless revolutionary martyrs.

As the red flag continued to rise, a sense of pride and honor welled up in the three, for they were fortunate enough to live in this great nation and witness its prosperity.

When the Five-star Red Flag reached the top of the pole, the entire square erupted in warm applause and cheers. People waved the small national flags in their hands, expressing deep blessings for their country.

At this moment, the sun also rose from the east, and the golden sunlight shone brightly upon the red flag.

"Old Jiang, I'm too tired. I won't go with you to see Big Brother. When you see him, help me say hello."

After the flag raising ceremony ended, Xu Jia's excitement diminished significantly, and a feeling of exhaustion washed over him. He yawned as he spoke to Jiang Chuan.

"Alright."

Jiang Chuan smiled when he heard this, called Lin Xiaoxiao over, and the two of them headed together to the Jingdu Military Region.

"Leader, here are the results!"

Secretary Sun received the call from the hospital and immediately rushed there to bring the results to Jiang Wenli.

"Thank you for your hard work, Little Sun. I'll approve a day off for you. Take a good rest today."

Jiang Wenli said this to him while looking at the sealed paternity test report.

"Thank you, Leader."

Secretary Sun thanked him, then turned and left without disturbing Jiang Wenli.

Jiang Wenli looked at the sealed report in his hand. His face was very calm, without any ripple of emotion. He slowly opened the report.

"This is...?"

Jiang Wenli looked at the report, which confirmed their father-son relationship, with a probability of paternity greater than 0.9999.

"He really is my son?!"

Jiang Wenli looked at the report in his hand, his expression still calm, revealing no joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness.

Jiang Wenli immediately called Secretary Sun: "Secretary Sun, no one else knows about this, right? Is it possible for the hospital to alter the results?"

Secretary Sun, being Jiang Wenli's direct subordinate, understood his meaning and immediately replied, "Leader, please rest assured. No one knows about this time, and the hospital had our direct subordinates handle the report, so it's impossible for the results to be altered."

"I understand. You should rest well."

Jiang Wenli said softly to Secretary Sun, then looked at the paternity report in his hand, wondering what he was thinking.

If the report was true, and the results were real, then it meant Jiang Chuan truly was his son.

His son, who had been missing for twenty-five years, had truly been found.

Jiang Wenli showed no emotion. He prepared to meet Jiang Chuan personally, hoping to obtain Jiang Chuan's hair or blood himself, and personally monitor the paternity test to see the final outcome.

If the final result showed that Jiang Chuan was his son, he would definitely ensure the other party returned to the Jiang Family. If he was not, Jiang Wenli would show no mercy...

Over the years, Jiang Wenli had encountered many people claiming to be his son. These people even tampered with paternity test results, and he was nearly deceived several times. Fortunately, he was cautious enough not to let them successfully enter the Jiang Family, which is why he was so careful now.

Jiang Wenli composed himself and went straight to work.

Qin Lingwei had quickly left home and hurried to work at the Chinese Academy of Sciences...

Jiang Chuan and Lin Xiaoxiao arrived at the Jingdu Military Region, and their eyes simultaneously fell upon a young man standing outside the military region.

He was tall and straight, his muscles clearly defined, each containing endless strength.

His face was resolute, as if carved by a knife, and his eyes were sharp like an eagle's, revealing determination and courage.

His hair was neatly trimmed short, standing straight up, making him look exceptionally energetic.

He wore a set of green camouflage fatigues that clung to his body, as if they were one with him.

He stood there ramrod straight, like a pine tree, giving people a sense of stability and reliability when viewed from afar.

His body was as hard as steel, as if nothing could shake his will.

"Big Brother."

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the young man standing outside the military region. Although he had become more mature and resolute, his appearance hadn't changed much. She recognized him instantly and cried out excitedly.

Lin Yi heard someone call him, and his gaze followed the sound toward Jiang Chuan and Lin Xiaoxiao.

As he looked at the two, his initial expression of confusion instantly turned into excitement and joy.

"Are you Second Brother? And you're Little Sister. It's been five years, your changes are too great."

Lin Yi roughly recognized Jiang Chuan and Lin Xiaoxiao. He excitedly ran toward them, examining the two closely as he spoke with emotion.
