Chapter 875: Chapter 875: Gunshots on a Rainy Night 6

Seeing Niu Rang’s corpse, He Zhilan didn’t know if accompanying him in this way could make his passage a bit more comforting.

"Niu Rang, rest assured, I have handed the gun over to Xing Ye. I believe the army won’t let you sacrifice in vain. Your contribution is not fruitless," but even so, He Zhilan still couldn’t accept that a living person had suddenly left this world, and this person was someone she was so familiar with.

When daylight came, Bian Xiulin hurried over upon hearing the news. When she arrived, there were many police officers in the morgue apart from He Zhilan, and the white cloth covering Niu Rang’s body had been replaced with a bright red national flag.

It was a privilege reserved for martyrs, only they may rest under the national flag.

"Are you okay?" Although Bian Xiulin did not know Niu Rang, she was quite worried when she saw He Zhilan’s reddened eyes. She knew that He Zhilan had not rested all night and had even been out in the rain.

He Zhilan shook her head, "I’m fine."

"You should go back and rest. There are people here watching over, everything is arranged. If you don’t rest, your body won’t hold up," Bian Xiulin said as she pulled He Zhilan out and reached to touch He Zhilan’s forehead. Indeed, He Zhilan’s constitution was like this, she’d get sick from a major shock.

He Zhilan didn’t insist on staying strong and let Bian Xiulin take her back to the hotel.

Inside the hotel, Bian Xiulin urged He Zhilan to get into bed and rest, saying, "You should get some sleep. If you feel unwell anywhere, call me. I’ll bring you some medicine."

"Don’t worry, I’m fine." He Zhilan gave Bian Xiulin a small smile, escorted her to the door, then locked it and went back to bed to rest.

However, try as she might to sleep, the moment she closed her eyes, the images from the night before surfaced in her mind, the sight of Niu Rang bloodied, and the regret in his eyes when he spoke of his fiancée.

Niu Rang and his fiancée grew up together and were engaged, with their wedding date already set. Without this accident, Niu Rang would have been able to return for his wedding next summer, but in the end, he left his fiancée nothing but a white dress and an apology.

He Zhilan thought, Xing Jialang must be an angel sent by heaven. If it weren’t for Xing Jialang’s fondness for that black toy pistol, and had he not left it at the hotel when he left, perhaps she would have lost the item Niu Rang had entrusted to her before his death.

She didn’t know what the pistol represented or what it concealed, but she understood that whatever Niu Rang had asked her to pass on must be very, very important.

He Teng arrived the next morning, accompanied by Kang Xing. In order to save a few hours, they had taken a train and then a plane to S Province.

Seeing He Teng and Kang Xing, He Zhilan said nothing, just looked at them, silently shedding tears.

She understood what they were feeling at the moment; to them, Niu Rang was a brother worth more than mountains.

"We’re here to take our hero home." Kang Xing looked at their good brother lying under the national flag, who had been sacrificed for several days, and couldn’t help but shed tears in front of everyone, "Niu Rang, you disloyal one! How old are you to need your company commander and deputy regiment commander to fetch you? Get up, damn it! If you don’t, what will your fiancée do?"

He Zhilan, seeing He Teng clenching his fists tightly, walked over, reached out, and gently covered his hand, "Brother, have we notified Niu Rang’s family?"
