60: My life, though seven feet tall, has been dedicated to the nation; I can no longer dedicate it to my family! (Fifth update, please give a good review)
Very quickly, the Guard took Li Dakang and Hou Tao away.
Zhao Mengsheng put away his documents, as if he had just completed a trivial task.
Whether it was Li Dakang or Liang Wanfeng... they meant nothing in his eyes.
"Where is the Gao Family, the root of all this evil?"
Zhao Mengsheng's voice rang out again.
His gaze was like a sharp sword, sweeping the surroundings, carrying unquestionable authority: "Today, we'll settle all the scores at once!"
"Uncle Zhao, I know!"
Yue Xiaofei spoke up: "Just now, Gao Zisheng video-called me and threatened me, saying that the Gao Corporation Building was completed today and they are holding a ribbon-cutting ceremony in the city center!"
"A ribbon-cutting ceremony?"
Zhao Mengsheng curled his lips into a cold smile: "Since they've finished construction, we'll go deliver a 'grand gift'!"
"I know the way!"
Cannon Jin immediately stepped forward: "It's that tallest building recently constructed in the city center. They've been hyping it up on the news lately, calling it Jiang City's new landmark."
"Alright, Old Jin, you drive."
Zhao Mengsheng nodded, then looked at Yue Xiaofei: "Xiaofei, you're injured. Let the Guard take you to the hospital to get treated first."
"No, Uncle Zhao, I'm fine, I can hold on!"
Yue Xiaofei shook his head vigorously, his eyes filled with stubbornness: "I must personally witness the Gao Family receiving their punishment!"
Zhao Mengsheng looked at his determined gaze, remained silent for a few seconds, and finally nodded.
"Good, then let's go together."
... Soon, the three got into a black SUV.
"Rumble!"
Cannon Jin sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and drove towards the city center.
"Uncle Zhao, can I ask you a question?"
Yue Xiaofei looked at Zhao Mengsheng sitting beside him, his eyes carrying a hint of hesitation and curiosity.
"Of course you can, ask away."
Zhao Mengsheng guessed that the child might want to ask about his identity, or perhaps about that mysterious document.
After all, Li Dakang's reaction was so extreme, anyone would be curious.
Unexpectedly, Yue Xiaofei quietly asked: "Uncle Zhao, what kind of person was my father...?"
Zhao Mengsheng was momentarily stunned, feeling a little surprised.
Yue Xiaofei is the biological son of the Old Company Commander, why would he ask others about his own father?
That was too strange!
Yue Xiaofei lowered his head, his voice even softer: "When I was little, Dad was always in the military and only came back once every few years. I don't have a deep impression of him."
"Although Mom and Grandpa often tell me about him, I still want to hear what he was like in the eyes of his comrades."
Hearing this, Zhao Mengsheng's heart suddenly trembled.
Alas!
A seven-foot body!
Having already pledged himself to the country, it was difficult to pledge himself to his family!
Yue Changlong was a truly great hero, worthy of heaven and earth, but only to this son, he carried a debt.
"Your father, ah..."
Zhao Mengsheng was silent for a moment, his gaze fixed on the distance, as if lost in recollection.
"The stories of me and your father, the Old Company Commander, are endless; we couldn't finish them even if we talked for days and nights."
"He is the person I respect, admire, and most want to be in this lifetime."
"Since time is limited on the road, let me tell you a small story that happened during my first year of enlistment."
"The Steel Seventh Company I belonged to, also called the Steel Hero Company, has a glorious history; it is the elite of the elite."
"To be the Company Commander of the Steel Seventh Company meant you were an absolute powerhouse of a tough guy; you wouldn't trade that position even for Regiment Commander!"
"That year also happened to be when your father was getting married. Early in the year, he submitted a report saying he wanted to return home to marry a doctor, who is your mother."
"But unfortunately, that year, the border was unstable. Y Country was constantly stirring up trouble at the border, and small-scale friction never ceased."
"So your father's marriage leave was never approved, and the wedding date was delayed repeatedly."
"They finally managed to wait until the end of the year, and the superiors finally approved 10 days of marriage leave, allowing your father to go back and get married."
"All the brothers in the company were happy for him. Everyone pooled money together, prepared a large red envelope, and just hoped he could get married without a hitch."
"Unexpectedly, your father had just left on the train that morning. In the afternoon, the company received a telegram from headquarters, demanding the entire company immediately assemble and prepare for war!"
"Moreover, the mission assigned to the Steel Seventh Company was the most dangerous—to capture Black Hat Mountain!"
Pausing here, Zhao Mengsheng's voice faltered, and his expression grew solemn.
"You might not know the situation at Black Hat Mountain. Many conflicts had happened there before. That place has complicated terrain, is easy to defend and difficult to attack; it is a natural fortress."
"Many companies were sent to attack it before, and every time, blood flowed like a river, and many people were sacrificed."
"So at that time, the atmosphere in the Steel Seventh Company was somewhat low."
"Although everyone was elite, with outstanding training scores, they had only ever trained on the training ground and had never been on a real battlefield, so they were all a little apprehensive."
"What's more, the Company Commander had left at this time; it felt like we had lost our backbone."
"However, my brothers, including Uncle Jin, and I were actually a little relieved for your father."
"Because we all knew about your father's family situation. Both of his older brothers had been sacrificed on the battlefield. He was the only remaining son, and now he was about to get married. We truly couldn't bear to watch him go to his death!"
"Moreover, communication was primitive back then; there were no cell phones, and we couldn't contact your father at all. Even if we could have, he was already on the train and wouldn't have been able to rush back in time."
"Under these circumstances, everyone could only force themselves to cheer up, starting to pack their luggage and check their weapons and equipment overnight."
"The next morning, the entire company was assembled and ready to set off."
"Cannon Jin, present!"
"Qilianshan, present!"
"Li Danda, present!"
"Xu Que, present!"
"Zhao Mengsheng, present!"
"..."
"'Steel Seventh Company should have 120 personnel present, 119 actually present. Company Commander Yue Changlong, absent'!"
"Everyone's mood was heavy, but an order is an order; no matter how difficult, it must be executed."
"As we marched out of the camp gate in neat formation, we suddenly saw a figure, walking towards us step by step, facing the morning sun."
"Company Commander?"
"Company Commander..."
"Company Commander!!!"
... Zhao Mengsheng's voice was filled with excitement, and his eyes lit up.
"That figure, although covered in dust and fatigue on his face, with that tall posture and resolute gaze, we recognized him immediately—"
"It was none other than your father, our Company Commander, Yue Changlong!"
