392: Linlang, Where Are You?【1】

Linlang, Where Are You?【1】

0"Ah-Wang, did you investigate the ashes for me? Are the ashes really not hers?"

"Yes, I have investigated the ashes. According to tests, the ashes belong to a man."

Qie Wang's words startled Xie Xuning. Man? "Ah-Wang, does that mean that Linlang is still alive?"

Qie Wang sighed, then shook his head.

"Xuning, I really don't know if your wife is still alive…," Qie Wang admitted.

"It's my fault. I should have investigated the ashes before..."

In the depths of Xie Xuning's heart, there was regret.

Qie Wang didn't know what to tell Xie Xuning, though he felt sad for him. It wasn't fair for him to blame himself. 

Xie Xuning blamed himself for being too careless…for just accepting what he was given him without question. 

"A-Ning, technology wasn't developed back then," Qie Wang said, trying to console his friend. "Even if you wanted to have the ashes examined, they might not be able to provide you with accurate results." 

Qie Wang had been recalling every detail of that year since the report came out.

Doing so brought a lot of memories to Qie Wang, and they made him sad.

He couldn't understand. What kind of blunder was there in the process?

Xie Xuning had been dwelling in the past.

"A-Ning, I know that you will be very excited to hear this news now, but have you ever thought about the fact that you and I, we went to Linlang's hometown back then, and these ashes were brought over from our hometown. If it's not like that, how could we..."

"What are you trying to say?" Xie Xuning asked directly. "Ah-Wang, are you implying that Linlang is no longer in this world? Or do you want to say that Linlang is already married?"

"I'm just saying, don't get your hopes up. Better to think of the worse than be overly optimistic."

Qie Wang's voice was low and hoarse.

"If you didn't make this call, I was going to find time to meet with you and talk in detail. Xuning..."

"I have my own measures. Thank you, Ah-Wang. Thank you, Brother."

After Xie Xuning hung up, he covered his face with his hands, and tears rolled down his cheeks.

Hot tears made him feel the burning pain in his palm.

In the unseen world, was there providence?

Linlang.

Linlang.

Do you resent me?

Resenting me all these years for not coming to you…

Linlang.

My wife, I miss you very much. I wish you're here with me.

Xie Xuning closed his eyes, and everything from that year appeared in his mind again.

He was injured during the mission and was hospitalized for more than three months. When he returned to the army, another six months were spent proving his identity.

He was under investigation in the army at that time, and there was no way for him to find Ye Linlang.

He entrusted his good brother Qie Wang to find Linlang.

What Qie Wang told him was that Ye Linlang died upon learning of his demise.

Qie Wang brought the recordings of the landlord at the time, the recordings of Ye Linlang's colleagues, and the proof of the government unit in Ye Linlang's hometown.

He didn't believe Ye Linlang would commit suicide.

How could he believe that? Ye Linlang had always known that something bad could happen to him when carrying out missions.

The two of them also joked that if one day, he really died while on a mission, what would she do?

What did Linlang say at the time?

Linlang said that she would live her life well.

She would travel to the place where his life was sacrificed to honor him.

They had an agreement. When the mission was over, they would return to their hometown to bring their mother to the capital.
