Hello, Mr. Major General

Chapter 1401 - Who Is Waving The Colorful Ribbon (3)



Chapter 1401: Who Is Waving The Colorful Ribbon (3)

Wearing a khaki trench coat, the man in the light was tall and slender.

His expression was calm and composed, and his smile was infectious. It was the face of the man Gu Nianzhi had seen in Ye Xuan’s photo!

It was Gu Xiangwen.

It was her father, Gu Xiangwen!

What the hell was going on?!

Just as she was about to ask, the hologram began to speak.

“Today is the XX of X month, year 2XXX. Approximately seven years and three months have passed since the day I pass away.”

A pleasant baritone, the voice of the hologram was probably Gu Xiangwen’s own voice. It was neither fast nor slow. It was calm, strong, and warm.

But this sentence... this sentence...

The warmth that had just risen from the bottom of Gu Nianzhi’s heart was instantly frozen by that sentence.

How could someone use such a tone to announce the news of his death?!

Gu Nianzhi wanted to pounce on the man and cover his mouth. She didn’t want to listen to him anymore. This wasn’t real. This was just a dream. Huo Shaoheng must be teasing her...

However, Huo Shaoheng held her tightly and made her unable to move. She couldn’t even cover her ears.

Gu Xiangwen’s holographic avatar continued to speak.

“I’m the owner of this submarine.”

“Since my death, the computer system on the submarine had automatically started to count down the time itself.”

“Day after day, month after month, year after year. I don’t know when someone will discover my submarine.”

“My countdown is only set for 100 years.”

“After 100 years, the trench here will shake. At that time, my submarine and I will be swept into the depths of the earth’s crust. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.”

“I’m very happy that it only took you seven years to find me.”

“Now, I have a few questions to ask you.”

..

Gu Xiangwen’s questions were answered by Huo Shaoheng this time.

Just like the story Huo Shaoheng had told her about the owner of the submarine, Gu Nianzhi listened to it again.

When Gu Xiangwen’s hologram finished describing their encounter, there was a long period of silence.

Gu Nianzhi thought that was it.

After the initial shock, she gradually calmed down and her intelligent brain started to work. She suddenly thought of many suspicious points.

For example, her father said that their plane had been hijacked and forced to land on an island near the Cape of Good Hope. Why were they coincidentally in the submarine?

Had his submarine just happened to be there, or had someone else driven it over for him?

Also, was there no other staff on such a submarine?

Why was there only her father, her mother, and the bodies of the four moles left in the end?

Gu Nianzhi was deep in thought and was about to voice her suspicions when she heard Gu Xiangwen’s holographic avatar speak again after a moment of silence.

...

“Nianzhi, my baby, Mom and Dad had once felt extremely fearful that we wouldn’t be able to see you grow up. Now, Mom and Dad realize that we really wouldn’t see you grow up.”

“But don’t be afraid, baby. Mom and dad are just leaving first. We’ll wait for you on the other side so you won’t be lonely.”

“Nianzhi, Daddy is dying. I really want to see you again, hug you, and kiss your cute little face.”

“Nianzhi, Daddy is a scientist and doesn’t believe in reincarnation. But at this moment, Daddy is willing to believe that if there really is such a thing as reincarnation, please be my daughter again in the next life, a healthy daughter. Let me watch you grow up, get married, have children, and live a happy life as an ordinary person.”

“Mom and Dad brought you into this world, but we didn’t give you a healthy body. We made you suffer from genetic defects ever since you were young.”

“It was due to dad’s incompetence that your illness couldn’t be cured. Dad wasn’t a good father. Your bad temper was extremely cute in Dad’s eyes. Your mom always said that I doted on you, but I know that you’re not bad-tempered. You were simply sick. You’ve done very well. It was Dad’s fault. Dad was incompetent for being unable to cure your illness.”

“Mom and Dad have both left, and left our baby to face this world alone. Mom and Dad feel very sad. But don’t be afraid and don’t cry.”

“Do you still remember your favorite story the Little Mermaid?”

“We didn’t die. Just like the little mermaid, we turned into foam in the sea at dawn. Every time the foam dissipated and a rainbow appeared in the sky, it was us who came to see you.”

There was a ding, and Gu Xiangwen’s hologram gradually blurred and disappeared completely.

Gu Nianzhi couldn’t describe her feelings at that moment with words.

These last words were actually all said to her! ! !

Her father, who had already passed away... was still thinking of her in the last moments of his life...

Gu Xiangwen’s last words were completely beyond her expectations.

It was as if she had never thought that she would be able to have such strong fatherly love. Unable to react for a long time, she stood there in a daze.

She had been able to analyze rationally just a moment ago, but now, all of her rational sense had left her.

Huo Shaoheng released his arm and turned to look at Gu Nianzhi, only to see that there wasn’t a single tear on her face.

However, her eyes were red. Her snow-white teeth bit her lower lip hard and left a clear bloody mark.

“Nianzhi...” Huo Shaoheng’s heart ached, but he was also worried. “If you feel bad, then cry it out loud.”

He didn’t want her to suffer like this, so he had chosen to let her know only now.

Gu Nianzhi’s eyes widened, and she stubbornly muttered to herself,”... I won’t cry... I won’t cry... Daddy said, baby, don’t cry...”

“Nianzhi! Cry it out!” Huo Shaoheng growled at her in a low voice.

She was in so much pain, and if she couldn’t vent it, the accumulation would cause a huge problem.

Gu Nianzhi shook her head mechanically. “I won’t cry... Daddy told me not to cry...”

Her big eyes were blank and completely unfocused.

She turned to look in the direction of the door and suddenly exerted great strength. Gu Nianzhi turned to push Huo Shaoheng away and ran towards the door.

Huo Shaoheng had only left the main door ajar and hadn’t locked it, so Gu Nianzhi ran out just like that.

“Nianzhi! Where are you going?” Huo Shaoheng chased after her in a hurry.

Gu Nianzhi ran very fast, and her voice echoed in the submarine corridor.

“I’m going to look for a rainbow!”

“My parents... my parents... are on a rainbow!”

She ran like crazy and rushed out of the submarine. She almost fell down the ladder and tumbled on the ground. She immediately got up and continued to run.

Chen Lie was shocked and was about to order someone to stop her when Huo Shaoheng jumped out of the submarine.

He shook his head at them and chased after her alone.

He knew Gu Nianzhi needed to vent, so he didn’t let anyone stop her.

Gu Nianzhi ran out of the cave unimpeded.

Unwilling to let anyone get close to her, she ran along the beach like crazy. Not only hurting others, but also hurting itself, she was like a little beast that had lost its mind.

She ran and shouted at the dark sky until she was thoroughly exhausted.

“Dad, Mom! Where are you two?”

“Come out!”

“I’m Nianzhi... your little Nianzhi...”

“Don’t you want me anymore?”

“I... I’ve grown up... I won’t cause you any trouble... come out...”

“I’ll be good, really good...”

“Please... please... give me back my parents...”

“... Give my parents back to me...”

The waves were loud, but they couldn’t cover her voice.

The moon seemed as if it didn’t have the heart to hear such a cry either. It hid behind a dark cloud and concealed itself.

She tried her best to hold back her tears. She really didn’t cry.

But no matter how long she shouted, no one responded.

She ran on the beach. When she was tired, she took a few steps and then started running again.

It seemed that as long as she ran forward, she would be able to see her parents in front of her.

She didn’t dare to stop. She felt that as soon as she stopped, her parents wouldn’t be able to wait for her anymore.

However, she ran for the entire night. From the dead of night to the dawn, there was no sign of her parents anywhere.

Exhausted, she knelt down on the beach and looked straight towards the direction where the sun was about to rise from.

Huo Shaoheng had been with her the entire night. Seeing her like this, he realized that she had suffered a greater blow than he had imagined.

She had been screaming and running all night, but not a single tear had fallen.

Her emotions were all weighed down in her heart.

Song Jinning followed her and angrily said to Huo Shaoheng, “Why aren’t you dissauding her? How could you bear to let her run all night?”

She walked over and hugged Gu Nianzhi. Her heart ached as she said, “Good girl, I’m your mother. Come back with me.”

Gu Nianzhi looked up at Song Jinning for a moment and shook her head. “No, you’re not my mother. I have my own parents, and you’re Major General Huo’s mother.”

Fine, at least her thoughts were still organized, but her mental state seemed to be abnormal.

Song Jinning was terrified. She held her hand and touched her forehead. She actually had a slight fever.

“Okay, okay, okay. I’m not your mother. You have your own parents. Let’s go back now, okay?” Song Jinning coaxed Gu Nianzhi patiently.

Gu Nianzhi shook her head again and said seriously, “No, I haven’t seen my parents yet. They made a promise to me. I want to see them one last time and send them on their last journey.”

“I can’t break the promise and disappoint them.”

Song jinning nodded sadly. “Let’s go see your parents. Come with me. I know where they are.”

She wanted to take Gu Nianzhi to see the bodies of Gu Xiangwen and his wife.

Gu Nianzhi’s words were clear and logical, but she was already in a state of delirium.

She frowned and rejected Song Jinning’s offer. “Don’t try to lie to me. I know where my parents are.”

Song Jinning: “...”

Her face full of admiration, Gu Nianzhi pointed to the sky with her fair fingers. “They’re right there on the rainbow. I won’t leave until I see them.”

Song Jinning sighed and walked back to Huo Shaoheng. “What should we do? Should we knock her out and take her away?”

Huo Shaoheng was silent for a moment. “I have an idea, but I need your help with something.” He whispered something into Song Jinning’s ear.

Song Jinning was stunned for a moment, but she still nodded and said, “I’ll do some calculations. The sunrise and the amount of rain have to be just right to succeed.”

The two of them left the beach. Yin Shixiong and Xiao Ye took over from them to stand guard around the area and take care of Gu Nianzhi, who was already out of her mind.

Gu Nianzhi didn’t cry. She quietly knelt on the beach.

She didn’t say anything and waited stubbornly.

In front of her was a vast ocean that stretched as far as one’s sight of vision. Above her was a vast and empty blue sky.

Between the sea and the sky, her slender and straight back looked lonely and desolate.

She didn’t cry, but this scene was even sadder than a crying scene.

Yin Shixiong and Xiao Ye weren’t romantics, but at this moment, both of them had their backs to each other and were quietly wiping away their tears.

Not long after, the surface of the sea revealed hints of the morning sun, and the sun was about to rise.

At that moment, the sky above them suddenly became dark, but there was no thunder or lightning. A downpour fell from the sky and drenched Gu Nianzhi, who was on the beach, as well as Yin Shixiong and Xiao Ye.

The two of them looked up at the sky at the same time, and were so stunned that their mouths were agape.

Could it be that someone was making rain?!

The timing was perfect.

It didn’t rain for long, and the rain soon stopped. Emitting thousands of golden rays of light, the rising sun just happened to rise above sea level at that moment.

After the rain stopped, a huge rainbow appeared in the sky where the sun rose from.

Red, orange, yellow, green, green, green, blue, and purple, there was a variety of colors.

Drenched, Gu Nianzhi looked up at the rainbow and smiled.

She reached out her hand, and the rainbow beamed into her palm. It was as if she was holding it up.

The rainbow after the rain was like a bridge. She stood on one side, and her parents stood on the other.

She felt as if she could see them smiling at her and waving goodbye to her.

Gu Nianzhi gradually snapped back to reality.

She knelt on the beach and looked up at the rainbow in the sky. She finally cried.

“Dad, Mom, just let me cry once...”

“I’m not being disobedient... I’m just too sad...”

“I promise, I’ll only cry for you two just this once...”

“You can punish me after I’m done crying. You can punish me however you want...”

After she said that, she realized that her parents would never punish her again.

No matter if she was obedient or disobedient, they would never punish her again.

This realization struck her heart like an arrow.

Gu Nianzhi sobbed softly as tears rolled down her cheeks. It was painful and anxious. Her shoulders trembled violently and she almost couldn’t kneel anymore.

Just as she was about to lose it, Huo Shaoheng walked over.

It was as if he had just gotten off the plane and hadn’t had time to change out of his flight suit.

He knelt on one knee behind Gu Nianzhi and hugged her tightly from behind. Huo Shaoheng said firmly and gently, “Little girl, I’ll take you to see your parents.”
