Chapter 371

Lu Qiaoge originally pushed the courtyard gate open gently, but she didn't expect that her Second Aunt, who was sleeping with Grandma, would suddenly sit up.

Lu Qiaoge also felt a bit sour in her heart.

Many times, she could feel that her Second Aunt was a strong, intelligent, and very proud person.

Second Aunt was a student at the Beidu Command Academy. Because of the war, she resolutely signed up for the front line as a student.

If she hadn't been framed, Second Aunt would definitely be a big-shot talent now.

But she did servant work at the Sheng family, never sleeping peacefully at night. No matter which room had a sound, she would wake up at the first moment.

Lu Yun got off the kang lightly, stood at the door, and said softly to Lu Qiaoge: "Working overtime so late, it must be very hard, right? There is red date and millet porridge cooked in the kitchen tonight; do you want to eat a bowl to warm your stomach?"

Lu Qiaoge's excuse for returning late was naturally working overtime.

As for how she came back, she told her family not to worry; Qin Hengzhi would send her back.

Knowing Qin Hengzhi would send her, the Lu family felt relieved.

Lu Qiaoge also lowered her voice and said: "Second Aunt, go to sleep; I'll just do it myself."

But Lu Yun still went to the kitchen to scoop her a bowl of porridge, covered the rest, and put it in a high place to prevent mice.

But actually, she found that although the eldest brother's small courtyard was small, it was very comfortable to live in. Even though she often woke up because of sounds, as long as she lay down, she would fall asleep very quickly.

The sparrows' chirping was also very nice; there were only three, very cute. After they were full, they would squat quietly on the branches.

And in this small courtyard, she hadn't found any cockroaches or mice so far.

Lu Qiaoge was drinking the red date and millet porridge obediently in the kitchen while whispering to Lu Yun.

But the house was small, and besides the young people who were fast asleep, Grandma Lu also woke up.

She lay on the kang, and although this was nothing, it was normal for an aunt to take care of her niece, but she just felt uncomfortable in her heart.

She was actually poor too, and the old Lu family was even poorer before, but no one wanted to live a poor life; otherwise, there wouldn't be the Long Kingdom today.

Clearly, her daughter had defied the heavens and changed her fate, but she had fallen into the dust again. How could Grandma Lu not feel uncomfortable?

Meng Xia sighed with her husband: "Where do you think Chen Liangsheng went?"

Chen Liangsheng went missing to find Lu Yun. Now that Lu Yun is back, what about Chen Liangsheng?

And at this moment, a jeep drove from outside Beidu City into the city.

Sitting in the car was an old man in his fifties with a straight posture.

His hair was completely white, and his figure was thin but showed no cowardice.

The jeep entered a courtyard, and then two guards accompanied the old man into a small conference room with lights on.

Next to the small conference room, two other old men of similar age were also waiting for him.

Seeing two of them, he widened his eyes instantly, paused for a moment, and said in disbelief: "Dapao, Ertie, is it you two?"

"Yes, yes, Brother Mancang, it's us!"

The three of them hugged each other while crying.

After they calmed down again, Team Leader Shen walked in, poured each of them a glass of water, and said with a smile: "Old brothers, sit down and drink some water. You also know about Lu Yun's matter. Now I just want to understand the situation at that time with you. Originally, you old brothers should rest first, but thinking you are also anxious, let's get familiar with each other first, look at the files, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

The old man who came in later was named Song Mancang.

He stood up and said proactively: "I'll confess one thing first. Three years ago, I called Lu Yun's husband, Chen Liangsheng. It was I who told him that Lu Yun might not have sacrificed herself; she was very likely saved by a big ship."

The conference room went quiet instantly.

Team Leader Shen looked at Song Mancang with some excitement; this was a breakthrough, it was not easy at all.

And the other two were also stunned.

They naturally knew that Lu Yun from the company was alive now, but she had lost her memory and was in Jiangcheng.

And Cao Jing and Lu Yu were both in Jiangcheng now.

They were brought over to cooperate with the investigation.

If there were no problems, then they would have to restore Lu Yun's true identity and everything she deserved.

And they had to investigate the events of that year clearly.

But no one expected that Song Mancang had known for a long time.

Old Shen's expression tightened: "Can you tell us what exactly happened?"

Song Mancang nodded solemnly.

After Song Mancang was injured that year, he was treated in the hospital for a period of time. By the time he retired and returned to his hometown, it was already a year later.

Because casualties were inevitable in war, his company didn't have many survivors. In that era, there was no telephone contact, letters were inconvenient, and there were no addresses, so contact was basically broken.

And he lived in the mountains of the Southwest, where transportation was even more inconvenient.

Three years ago, Chen Liangsheng went to the local area on a business trip. Song Mancang heard from others that Chen Liangsheng's wife had sacrificed herself in that battle, saying his wife was a military doctor and a top student from the Beidu Command Academy before she came.

Saying this, Song Mancang knew who this person was.

The sealed past was suddenly lifted. Song Mancang was full of regret. He went to chase Chen Liangsheng, wanting to tell her something, but Chen Liangsheng had already left the local area and returned to the Northwest.

Then he started asking around everywhere, finally found Chen Liangsheng's work unit, and called Chen Liangsheng to tell him a past event he had just remembered.

Lu Yun was not in that explosion!

She was executing a mission with Cao Jing, Company Commander Wu, and a Chief of Staff at the time, so she definitely wasn't in that explosion.

Later, while in a coma, he heard a local fisherman helping in the rear say that he went out to sea to fish and saw a big ship not far away that seemed to have discovered someone in the water. The people on the big ship saved the person. His eyesight was very good, and he saw it was a woman, wearing the team's clothes.

Song Mancang didn't dare to be sure if the woman saved was Lu Yun, but he dared to be sure that Lu Yun was definitely not in that explosion, because she wasn't at the scene at the time.

Chen Liangsheng asked him where that big ship went. He told Chen Liangsheng it was heading toward the Nanyang area, but he didn't know exactly where.

He didn't know whose ship it was either, but it seemed to be a supply ship for support.

They came to send a lot of rescue supplies to the team and finally left with an empty ship.

Song Mancang clenched his hands and said: "At that time, I wanted to come to Beidu to report the situation, but Chen Liangsheng stopped me. He said he would go to Beidu and call me when he needed me."

Everyone listened in silence.

Doing this was right; in war, missing actually meant death, especially in naval warfare. As long as people couldn't be found, the result was the same.

"I also told him that the person might not be Lu Yun, just something a fisherman said casually. Besides, there were doubts here. Assuming the woman saved by the people on the big ship was Lu Yun, and she was wearing the team's clothes, shouldn't they have sent her back?"

The recorder on the side noted down this doubt.
