Perhaps this was the conviction of a soldier. They would rather have their bones destroyed than to just leave nothing behind to ensure the safety of the masses.
But what about Fang Zhijun? Why did he choose to flee the moment he was in danger?
Qi Qi Qi sat powerlessly in her chair and looked coldly at the development of that world after Zheng Qiqi's death.
Zheng Qiqi died valiantly from his duty. Although there were still some casualties among the residents who did not evacuate upstairs, the number of casualties was much smaller than originally estimated.
Zheng Qi was still young, only in her early thirties. She had good military training and many years of experience in the army. If nothing happened to her, with her own ability and the Zheng Family's connections, her future would be bright. But she had lost her life in this mission.
In order to give an explanation to the public and to give an explanation to the Zheng Family, the military decided that this mission should still be decorated with peace, with emphasis on Zheng Qi's dedication and the medal of martyrdom given to him.
Since this was an action worthy of praise, naturally, no one could be punished. Denying it, wasn't that slapping his own face?
On the surface, it was supposed to be peaceful, but everyone knew it.
The Zheng Family learned the truth from the soldiers led by Zheng Qiqi. They knew that Fang Zhijun was responsible for a large part of his death.
As a result, Fang Zhijun was transferred to a more remote area, and Mei Hong naturally went with him.
Moreover, during that mission, she did not forget him at the most critical moment, and it was she who had pulled him away from danger. Although Fang Zhijun did not say anything, from his recent performance, Mei Hong knew that Fang Zhijun was already in her pocket, and the rest of her life depended on time to hone her skills.
Seeing this, Qi Qi Qi knew that the end of the story was already very clear. Mei Hong, as a reincarnated woman, had relied on her own hard work and persistence to reap the rewards of love and career. It was just that he pitied Zheng Qi. He should have gotten along well with Fang Zhijun, but because of the appearance of the reborn girl, he had been completely reduced to cannon fodder.
The target of this quest had moved her, made her feel heartache. Even after she had died, she had never once blamed fate for being unfair to her, rather she had given up her own soul, only because she wanted to save those innocent and implicated people, and also because she wanted to drive out Fang Zhijun, who was not very ambitious, from the army. She had never truly sought anything for herself.
When Qi Qi opened her eyes again, she saw a festive scene, as well as a red tablecloth. Qi Qi quickly realized that she had entered the mission, and the scene now should be her and Fang Zhijun's engagement banquet. She remembered that the only time Zheng Qiqi had been in such an environment was when she was engaged, but unfortunately, her engagement party had become a joke in the eyes of others because of Mei Hong's rebirth.
"Qi Qi, what do you think we should do?" The old man was sitting in the banquet hall with the Zheng Family, Fang Zhi Jun, and Mei Hong left. His aged hands were tightly holding the crutches in his hands, his brows were tightly knitted, and his sharp eyes were sweeping over the three young men in front of him.
Qi Qi Qi was stunned for a moment, she remembered that Zheng Qi was just silent and did not say anything. It was because of her attitude that the Zheng Family did not have Fang Zhijun to act, because all the Zheng Family elders present knew that Zheng Qi still had feelings for Fang Zhijun.
But right now, even the original Zheng Qiqi had been utterly disappointed by Fang Zhijun. How could she leave Fang Zhijun with the chance to start all over again?
"Grandfather, although Fang Zhijun has his difficulties, he still has a marriage contract with Ms. Mei. I know that in most of the villages in the country, such a marriage is still recognized as valid, and since Fang Zhijun is already married, he has concealed the truth and is betrothed to me again. I cannot accept this kind of marriage no matter what, so naturally, this marriage has to end."
Hearing this, Fang Zhijun suddenly raised his head and looked at her in surprise. How could this woman, who had once chased after him, suddenly turn hostile in an instant? He was at fault for this matter, but he shouldn't have endured such a severe punishment.
"Seventh Brother, have you made up your mind? "If this is done to you, it will be detrimental to your reputation. In the future, you …" His mother looked worriedly at him.
She was a mother after all, so she was interested in her daughter's future happiness. If the Zheng Family could bear it this time and suppress this matter, then they could at least find a better partner in the future.
"Mom, there are so many guests here today. Even if we suppress this matter, they are still well aware why we are deceiving ourselves." Qi Qi turned her head back to the silent father. "Dad, I remember you taught me since I was a child that black and white is still the best thing to do in this world. Don't put a bit of grey in the middle of it, right is right, wrong is wrong, wrong is wrong, we need the courage to admit our mistakes so that we won't make a mistake next time."
This grandson of his had always been a treasure in his heart, but she was also the child he owed the most. This child had been so lonely since he was young, lacking the company of the family's elders, yet she was so good looking by herself. How could he not feel heartache?
If Septimus really did like Fang Zhijun, the old man had also made up his mind that he would put forth all of his face, use his connections, and forcefully suppress this scandal to give Fang Zhijun another chance. But now, since Seventh Seven had said so, he still had to respect her wishes.
Please don't blame Brother Zhijun, this is all my fault. If I didn't do something that let Brother Zhijun down, Brother Zhijun wouldn't even mention me, so Miss Zheng mistook Brother Zhijun for being single. This is all my fault, please let Brother Zhijun go.
Mei Hong had been quietly listening by the side the entire time. She had only revealed her identity when she first entered the arena to prevent the engagement banquet, but after that, she did not say a single word because she knew that at a time like this, it was better for her to pretend to be pitiful and stand by the side. This way, at least everyone would think that she was a weak person and the balance in their hearts would be leaning towards her.
But now, it was time for her to step forward.
"Shut up. Do you have the right to speak here?" At this moment, he had not been together with Mei Hong for a long time, nor had he received a large amount of economic assistance from Mei Hong.
Now that Mei Hong had appeared, his good marriage had been ruined, and it was even extremely likely that she would ruin the life he had spent for so many years. It was already rare for him to remain standing and not make a move against her.
Hearing Fang Zhijun's rebuke, Mei Hong's eyes instantly turned red. She bit her lips, looking like a vexed wife.
Everyone thought that Mei Hong would obediently move to the side. However, no one expected that this unremarkable village girl would do something that would make everyone flabbergasted.
She actually knelt down and kowtowed to the Zheng Family members.
"Today's matter is all my fault. Please don't punish Brother Zhijun, okay? If you don't want me to show up, I can go back to the country right away. "
Qi Qi Qi saw that Mei Hong was putting on an act in front of everyone, but remained silent. She first raised her head to look at Fang Zhijun's face, which was getting redder and redder, and then she started to speak.
"Fang Zhijun, let's give up on our marriage. From now on, we will return to the bridge and return to the road. As for now, with your wife kneeling here, do you have the heart to continue watching her like this? "
Mei Hong was putting on a show to soften their hearts and let Fang Zhijun stay behind. She wanted to find a chance to stay by his side and change Fang Zhijun's mind. This plan of hers was good, but it would still depend on whether she was willing to give it to her or not.
Fang Zhijun had always been held in the palm of his hand by Zheng Qiqi, so how could he have heard her use such a tone when she talked to him? He looked at the surrounding Zheng Family members, and his already flushed face turned red, even showing signs of turning black.
"Get up." Fang Zhijun pulled up Mei Hong, who was still kneeling on the ground, completely ignoring the muffled groans Mei Hong let out from his strenuous tugging.
