Chapter 366 Opening the Envelope!
Zhang Yan watched her walk over and open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Qin Xiao peeked out first.
"Sister-in-law, is Brother Yan awake yet?"
Nie Qingcheng said coldly, "You'd better have something important to say."
Qin Xiao immediately picked up his breakfast.
"Yes! A victory celebration banquet!"
Nie Qingcheng glanced at what he was holding.
"breakfast?"
"Brunch counts too."
"Where's the wine?"
Qin Xiao coughed.
"A symbolic celebration. I didn't dare take the fiery one."
Nie Qingcheng turned around.
"Come in."
As soon as Qin Xiao entered the living room, he saw Zhang Yan sitting on the sofa.
He paused for a moment.
Watching it on the security camera last night and seeing it with my own eyes now are two different things.
Zhang Yan was still sitting there, perfectly fine.
Qin Xiao suddenly didn't know what to say.
Zhang Yan looked up.
"What are you doing standing at the door?"
Qin Xiao snapped out of his daze.
"Let me check if you're missing any arms or legs."
"no."
"Then I'm relieved."
He placed the breakfast on the coffee table, laying them out one by one.
Steamed buns, porridge, soy milk, shumai, and a few side dishes.
Nie Qingcheng watched him arrange it.
"Buying so much?"
Qin Xiao said, "I didn't eat either."
Nie Qingcheng sat down next to Zhang Yan.
"Can't you eat at home by yourself?"
Qin Xiao spoke with righteous indignation.
"Isn't this a celebration? Sister-in-law, you can't send me away, can you?"
Nie Qingcheng said calmly, "I'll leave after I finish eating."
Qin Xiao nodded immediately.
"OK."
The three people sat down.
Qin Xiao opened the porridge box and handed a portion to Zhang Yan.
"Brother Yan, have a drink."
Zhang Yan accepted it.
Thanks.
Qin Xiao waved his hand.
"Don't thank me. If anyone should thank someone, it's you."
Zhang Yan remained silent.
Nie Qingcheng glanced at Qin Xiao.
This time, she didn't interrupt.
Qin Xiao picked up a steamed bun and took a bite.
After swallowing, he suddenly smiled.
"I was watching the surveillance footage from the outside last night."
Zhang Yan said, "Hmm."
"I can't see you in person, I can only look at the data."
"Um."
"When the sealing progress was stuck at 99%, I really thought it was over."
Nie Qingcheng's fingers paused slightly.
Qin Xiao saw this and immediately changed his tune.
"Of course, the main problem is that the equipment is terrible."
Zhang Yan said, "Continue."
Qin Xiao lowered his head and smiled.
"Later, all five mechs exploded."
"At that moment, I only had one thought in my mind."
Zhang Yan looked at him.
Qin Xiao put down the steamed bun.
"If I die in the future and go to the King of Hell, and he asks me what grand scenes I've seen in my life, I'll just say one thing at most—I've seen Zhang Yan."
The living room quieted down.
Qin Xiao looked at Zhang Yan.
"Brother Yan, this life has been worthwhile."
Zhang Yan did not answer.
Nie Qingcheng remained silent.
Qin Xiao lowered his head and continued eating.
He ate very quickly, as if afraid the atmosphere would become dull.
"But seriously, can Xing Tian's shield still be repaired?"
Zhang Yan said, "Yes."
"Where's the White Tiger?"
"able."
"Tyrannosaurus's left shoulder looks pretty bad."
"able."
"Is the Suzaku furnace core overheated?"
"It can be repaired."
Qin Xiao's eyes lit up.
"Can I watch it?"
Nie Qingcheng coldly replied, "No."
Qin Xiao immediately looked away.
"I was just asking."
Zhang Yan said, "I'll show you when it's fixed."
Qin Xiao suddenly looked up.
"real?"
"Um."
Qin Xiao looked at Nie Qingcheng.
Nie Qingcheng said, "If he says it's okay, then it's okay."
Qin Xiao immediately smiled.
"Your sister-in-law is very generous."
Nie Qingcheng ignored him.
After finishing breakfast, Qin Xiao collected the trash.
Before leaving, he stood at the door and suddenly became serious.
"Brother Yan."
"Um."
"Old Qin asked me to tell you that all subsequent reports will be suppressed to the highest level of confidentiality."
"Um."
"The military won't force us to keep the records from Guantiange."
"it is good."
"The remaining TFC members are being rounded up by the sister-in-law, and the military will cooperate as well."
Nie Qingcheng spoke.
"It's not about cooperating, it's about wrapping things up."
Qin Xiao immediately changed his tune.
"Yes, wrap it up."
Zhang Yan looked at him.
"Where's Ito?"
"He is still under medical observation in isolation. He regained consciousness once after purification, but only said one sentence."
"What?"
Qin Xiao's expression was somewhat complicated.
"He said, 'Please tell you, thank you for not killing him.'"
Zhang Yan paused for a moment.
"understood."
Qin Xiao nodded.
He opened the door, then turned back.
"Brother Yan, take a couple of days off."
Zhang Yan said, "It depends."
Qin Xiao sighed.
"I knew you'd say that."
Nie Qingcheng said calmly, "I will let him rest."
Qin Xiao was immediately relieved.
"That's fine then."
After he left, the living room became quiet.
Nie Qingcheng put the remaining porridge containers into the kitchen.
Zhang Yan sat on the sofa, his hand reaching into his underwear pocket.
The letter is still there.
The seal has not been broken.
Nie Qingcheng came out of the kitchen and saw what he was doing.
She didn't urge her.
He simply walked over and sat down opposite me.
Zhang Yan took the envelope out and placed it on the coffee table.
The envelope was ordinary.
But inside was something he had never looked at.
He stared at it for a long time.
Nie Qingcheng said, "If you don't want to watch, you can watch it later."
Zhang Yan shook his head.
"It's time to take a look."
"I'll stay with you."
"Um."
He opened the envelope.
Inside was a thick stack of documents.
At the very top is a hospital birth record from thirty years ago.
Zhang Yan paused for a moment.
The name field is empty.
Mother's name.
Father's name.
Time of birth.
Place of birth.
Below is another investigation report.
And an old photograph.
The photos are well preserved.
A young couple stood in a hospital ward.
A woman is holding a newborn baby.
The man stood to the side, looking down at the child.
There is a line of handwritten text on the edge of the photo.
On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year.
Zhang's eldest son.
Zhang Yan stared at the photo for a long time without saying a word.
Nie Qingcheng sat down next to him.
I didn't touch the file.
They didn't say anything on his behalf.
She simply placed her hand on the back of his hand.
Zhang Yan said in a low voice, "They seem... quite happy."
Nie Qingcheng said, "Mm."
"What's my dad's name?"
Nie Qingcheng said softly, "Zhang Huaichuan."
Where is my mom?
"Lin Shuning".
Zhang Yan nodded.
He continued flipping through the documents.
The investigation report is very detailed.
Zhang Huaichuan, geologist.
He has long been engaged in the study of special minerals and anomalous magnetic field regions.
Lin Shuning, a plant ecology researcher.
The two had participated in several field expeditions together.
Thirty years ago, Zhang Huaichuan died during a mountain expedition.
The cause of death was a landslide.
Zhang Yan looked down.
When the location field appeared, he paused.
The border area between Yunnan and Guizhou.
The mountainous area surrounding Duanyun Valley.
The living room fell silent again.
Nie Qingcheng looked at his hand.
"Zhang Yan".
Zhang Yan did not respond immediately.
He continued reading.
Zhang Huaichuan's inspection was not on the official project list.
He entered the outer perimeter of Broken Cloud Valley in a private capacity.
Among his personal belongings was a handwritten mineral record.
The same word appears multiple times in the records.
Wind-breathing Jade.
Zhang Yan put the document down.
The sound was very soft.
"My dad went to see Feng Xiyu."
Nie Qingcheng gripped his hand tightly.
"Um."
"He didn't die by accident."
"Um."
"He knows."
Nie Qingcheng did not answer immediately.
