Chapter 542 Sadness
"Son," Tang Guoqiang patted Wu Xiaolin on the shoulder and said with a heavy expression, "Please accept my condolences. Your parents were both wonderful people."
"Uncle Tang," Wu Xiaolin sobbed, choking back tears, "do you know who did it?"
Tang Guoqiang shook his head and said, "I don't know yet, son. Don't cry. As a man and a soldier, you should know what it means to shed blood but not tears. Your parents will not have died in vain. Uncle Tang will definitely avenge them."
"Uncle Tang~" Wu Xiaolin sobbed.
"Alright, stop crying. Wipe your tears. A soldier should act like a soldier," Tang Guoqiang comforted him.
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiaolin wiped away his tears, then stood up, his expression filled with extreme sorrow, and said, "Uncle Tang, we are all soldiers. I know that as soldiers, we must be prepared to sacrifice ourselves for the country at any time. So I am proud of my parents. It's just that my parents died so inexplicably, and..."
Tang Guoqiang smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Lin, don't worry, Uncle Tang will definitely make the murderers who killed your parents pay a heavy price."
"Thank you, Uncle Tang," Wu Xiaolin said, then added, "Uncle Tang, with my dad's skills, ordinary people simply can't do anything to him unless he's completely unprepared."
Tang Guoqiang let out a long sigh and said, "Yes, Uncle Tang knows your father's skills very well."
"Uncle Tang, do you have any leads?" Wu Xiaolin asked.
“It’s hard to say right now,” Tang Guoqiang said. “The person who killed your parents is either one of your father’s closest confidants or a top assassin from another country. Uncle Tang is looking for clues. Xiao Lin, hurry up and go see your parents! They’re at the national funeral home. You might not see them again if you wait any longer.”
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiaolin grunted in agreement and then said, "Uncle Tang, I'll head over there now. I'll leave the matter of my parents' revenge to you."
Tang Guoqiang smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I will avenge them."
After Wu Xiaolin left, Tang Guoqiang fell into deep thought again. After a while, the old leader and Su Wenlong and others came over. The old leader asked, "Old Tang, have you found any clues?"
Tang Guoqiang shook his head and said, "This place is now a ruin; it's difficult to find any useful clues. Old Chief, how's the situation on your end?"
The old commander replied, "There's nothing really going on. I asked Wu Siling's bodyguard, and he said that when Wu Siling was killed, he happened to be going to the deputy commander's place to get a document for Commander Wu. When he came back, he found that Wu Siling had been murdered. I went to the deputy commander to confirm, and Wu Siling's bodyguard is fine."
Tang Guoqiang nodded and said, "Then there's only one possibility."
After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
Tang Guoqiang frowned in thought. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a pile of dust in the middle of the ruins. His eyes widened, and he quickly walked over, put on gloves, and pulled a shell from the rubble at his feet.
The old leader and the others were all startled—
"This is a 9*19"mm bullet. Judging from the year, it was probably produced in the 1980s. Judging from the impact force on the tail of the bullet casing, the gun that used this type of bullet should be a Browning."
In just a few words, Tang Guoqiang immediately analyzed the origin of the dan shell.
"The Browning pistol was originally designed and manufactured by American firearms designer Robert Browning. It was a powerful semi-automatic pistol that was later widely used in the military. However, this type of pistol was retired and stopped being used fifty years ago," the old commander said.
Tang Guoqiang pondered for a moment and said, "This type of pistol is already under control in many countries around the world. It is still being illegally traded in some black markets. Chief, I think we should secretly visit the black markets for firearms and drugs in HX to see who is using it."
Upon hearing this, the old commander nodded.
"Furthermore," Tang Guoqiang continued, "since we've retired, we're no longer under their assassination attempt, but we must remain vigilant. We estimate their next target is Deputy Commander Liu. So, Lao Chu and Lao He, you two will have to work hard these next few days to secretly protect Deputy Commander Liu's safety. We'll handle the rest."
Old Chu and Old He had no objections and said in unison, "Alright, we'll go protect Deputy Commander Liu's life right now."
"If anything happens, remember to let us know," the old commander instructed.
"Okay, I understand."
The two of them left a message and then disappeared from the spot.
"Old Tang, next, we'll visit the illegal gun and drug markets across the country. You'll be in charge of investigating other leads!" the old commander said.
Tang Guoqiang nodded and said, "Then be careful."
When Chao Bufan and Tian Yue arrived in Xihai Town, it was already 10 PM. Looking at the surrounding lights, the colorful lights twinkling everywhere, and the bustling streets, Tian Yue couldn't contain her excitement and exclaimed, "Wow, this is the real world! It's truly amazing!"
Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "This is the trend of the times. For ordinary people, technology changes everything."
"Are these fast-moving metal shells cars?" Tianyue asked, pointing to the cars coming and going.
Chao Bufan grunted in agreement and said, "Never seen this before, have you? This is the result of technology, the trend of human development."
"Indeed, cultivators have their own world, and mortals have their own paradise!" Tianyue exclaimed once again.
“Therefore,” Chao Bufan said, “the human race is a force that no power should underestimate, especially since some of the technologies that humans have developed are beyond my wildest imagination.”
“Looks like I made the right decision to leave that awful place,” Tianyue said excitedly. “The human world is so much fun.”
Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan smiled slightly and said, "Brother, I'll take you to experience real human life another day, so you can personally feel the true joy that only mortals can have."
Tianyue asked excitedly, "Isn't it possible now?"
"It's too late now," Chao Bufan laughed. "Everyone's already going home to rest. Let's do it another day!"
“Okay,” Tianyue nodded, “So where do we go now?”
"Of course I'm going home," Chao Bufan said with a smile. At this moment, as he stepped into this homeland, he couldn't suppress his excitement and joy. After being away for so long, he could finally see his family.
Standing in front of his own villa in the West Sea, seeing the brightly lit interior, Chao Bufan couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief. Then, he opened his arms and announced loudly, "Ladies, I'm back."
