Chapter 75: Martyr Certificate

Thick smoke obscured the sun, and above the ruins, a grayish-white sun slowly rose from the horizon.

A high-end Hongqi sedan stopped in front of Camp 21, and a middle-aged man in a suit with an outstanding temperament stepped out of the car; it was Liu Shengjing, the Chinese Ambassador to the Sozali Republic.

"Shi Yi's family, please come with me," the staff notified.

Shi Heng took a deep breath, pressed his uneasy heart, and followed the staff to the entrance of the meeting room.

This was a temporary meeting room converted from the camp's cafeteria. The air was still filled with the faint fragrance of food. In the center of the room was a long table, and Liu Shengjing sat opposite, his expression dignified, with two bodyguards in suits standing behind him.

"Are you... Shi Yi's biological brother?"

Shi Heng nodded.

"I am her biological brother, Shi Heng."

Liu Shengjing frowned secretly. He had heard of Shi Heng's name; he should be the head of the Shi Group, a top-notch young talent in China. The man in front of him... although he looked a bit tired, he was noble and had an extraordinary temperament; he should be Shi Heng of the Shi Group.

However... if Shi Yi was really his biological sister, why would she come to a place like Sozali alone?

And with a determination to die, leaving a last will and testament, sneaking into the tiger's den alone to exchange hostages?

However... this matter didn't look like a fake either.

Because Shi Yi and Shi Heng looked very much alike.

Both had exquisite, handsome features, deep eye sockets, straight noses, and even the shape of their lips was exactly the same... only Shi Yi's eyes were amber, while Shi Heng's eyes were as pitch-black as obsidian.

"May I ask, where are Shi Yi's parents?" Liu Shengjing continued to ask.

"They... are in the country and can't come over for a while." A complex look appeared on Shi Heng's face. After a pause, he said, "You can tell me anything."

"Okay, then I'll tell you."

Liu Shengjing cleared his throat and was just about to start the main topic of the day when the door was pushed open with a "bang" from the outside, and two tall, disheveled men rushed in.

"Ambassador, these two people are trying to get in desperately, and no matter how we stop them, we can't!"

Liu Shengjing frowned, seeing that one of them looked quite delicate and scholarly, but there was a ball of gauze wrapped messily on his left shoulder, with black blood congealed on the gauze, and his face was dirty. And the other... a head of gray hair stuck to his head like weeds, his features were angular, his eyes sharp, and his face was bruised...

"Unauthorized personnel, leave immediately."

Liu Shengjing said expressionlessly and coldly.

"I am not unauthorized personnel!" the two men said excitedly at the same time. "I am... I am Shi Yi's... friend... she is very important to me..."

"Me too... I came to Sozali just to get news of her; no matter what, I must see her!"

The two big men scrambled to explain incoherently.

Liu Shengjing pursed his lips unhappily...

"Let them listen."

Just then, Shi Heng's sword-like brows furrowed coldly, and he decisively interrupted their ridiculous explanations. Now, he had nothing left to hide, and he didn't want to tangle with these two guys anymore, just wanting to get news of Xiao Yi as soon as possible.

With the permission of the family, Liu Shengjing no longer had any concerns and let the two men sit opposite.

Immediately after, he suddenly took out a red, square book from the document bag in his hand.

It was a certificate.

"Mr. Shi Heng." Liu Shengjing's expression was heavy, "I regret to inform you that your sister, Miss Shi Yi, passed away at 7:23 PM yesterday in the missile explosion that destroyed Kabango's armed forces. After discussion, we have decided to award her the honor of martyr. This is her martyr certificate."

With a rumble, a bolt of lightning seemed to strike in mid-air.

Shi Heng's heart felt as if it had been stabbed unexpectedly by a sharp knife.

"What did you say? She died?! I don't believe it, where is her corpse? I want to see her with my own eyes!"

Liu Shengjing said with a complex expression:

"Mr. Shi Heng, we understand your feelings, but Miss Shi Yi's body has already, already... been destroyed in the explosion, and we were unable to find any... complete human tissue."

"Then on what grounds do you say she is already dead?! On what grounds?!"

Shi Heng roared with scarlet eyes.

Liu Shengjing seemed prepared to accept a storm, his face still wearing a regretful expression, but his voice was terrifyingly cold.

"I am very sorry, we conducted a search all night yesterday and found no signs of any survivors."

In an instant, something flashed through Shi Heng's mind.

No place to be buried!

That was the poisonous oath he had once forced Xiao Yi to make. He had personally crafted a sharp arrow dipped in poison, but at this very moment, it struck his own heart.

So, in this world, there really is retribution...

Shi Heng took the "martyr certificate" from Liu Shengjing's hand blankly, his eyes unfocused, his fingertips trembling as he opened it. What came into view was that familiar yet strange face.

This was a photo Shi Yi had specially taken at a photo studio to join the medical team.

Perhaps because she still held longing for her future life and a glimmer of hope for this world at that time. Her mouth was slightly curved, with two shallow dimples at the corners of her lips. Her amber eyes were clean and bright, like crystals washed by rain.

Shi Heng looked at the girl in the photo with a dazed gaze.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that Shi Yi looked very much like him...

Their features were so consistent, even the arc of their curved mouths was the same as his, as if they were carved from the same mold.

Yes, she was his biological sister; they flowed with the same blood, how could they not look alike!

And below the photo, the bright red characters "Martyr," carrying the most ironic mockery and the most vicious curse in the world, stabbed directly into Shi Heng's heart. His heart ached with every beat, aching so much he couldn't breathe.

Just then, Chu Yehan, who was sitting on the side, stood up with a "thud."

His whole body was burning with intense flames, his aura extremely heavy, like a Yama from hell.

"I'm going to kill him... I'm going to kill him!"

Chu Yehan clenched his hands until they creaked, raging: "Who let Shi Yi deliver the medicine, who forced her to go to such a dangerous place?!"

Liu Shengjing looked at the few men opposite who were almost crazy, his expression unchanged, saying calmly and composedly:

"Regarding this question, I think you should take a look at this letter yourself." ===== CHAPTER 76 =====
