"Ma'am, the captain liked you a lot. Whenever we didn't have any missions, he would go to see you in the village." The young comrade pointed to a letter in the wooden box and said, "That is the captain's testament. He had it prepared a long time ago because of his constant dangerous missions. At that time, we had always thought that the testament would only resurface when he died of old age."
After his remark, the young comrade cried his eyes out and wailed, "The captain is such a nice person. It's all my fault! Ma'am, please punish me for my mistakes, it's all my fault! I killed the captain..."
"No, it wasn't you, it was me." Jiang Yao bit her lips as she clenched the testament tightly in her hand. It was as if the testament had sucked all her energy and strength that she didn't have the courage to open the letter.
It was she who chose to hide here and that's why he pursued her here. If it wasn't for her, he wouldn't be in this base. If he wasn't here, last night's unfortunate events would not have happened.
Therefore, the culprit who murdered Lu Xingzhi was none other than her, the incompetent wife.
Jiang Yao retrieved the letter carefully from the wooden box, her hands trembling vigorously. Ever so cautiously, she slowly unfolded the letter as if any sudden movement would tear the letter apart.
When the letter was opened, Lu Xingzhi's elegant penmanship was the first thing that reached Jiang Yao's gaze. She couldn't comprehend why but it made her feel very sad. He had many fine qualities that she admired him for, and this was one of them.
Jiang Yao could imagine the scenario of him writing the letter. Perhaps this letter was written genuinely and sincerely after a long day of training.
