Chapter 157 Xiao Bao is a descendant of a martyr
After Huo Yanchuan finished speaking, Wen Jinian, who was standing to the side, was also stunned.
He didn't know Xiao Bao's background. He heard from He Wenjun that Xiao Bao was her brother's child, whose parents had left early, and that she had taken pity on him and raised him.
This was the first time Xiao Bao had heard about his background. Upon learning that his parents had been killed by that woman, his eyes filled with intense hatred.
"Second brother, did you hear that? That woman isn't what you think at all. Xiao Bao's parents were killed by her and her accomplices. Do you still want to take the blame for her?"
At this moment, Wenrou also looked at Wen Jinian, wanting to bring him to his senses.
"I don't know what you mean. I believe Wenjun. She wouldn't do that." Even at this point, Wen Jinian still refused to believe the facts before his eyes.
Seeing that he had truly fallen for that woman, and hearing his words, it was clear he was even prepared to take the blame for her, Wenrou's face showed a look of disappointment.
"Second brother, you..."
She wanted to persuade Wen Jinian again, but then she saw the figure standing next to her stride towards him.
Huo Yanchuan clenched his fists, showing no mercy, and stepped forward to punch Wen Jinian hard in the face.
He didn't hold back with his punch; Wen Jinian's face swelled up from the blow, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
"Huo Yanchuan!"
Wenrou was also surprised that Huo Yanchuan would suddenly make a move. She was startled and cried out in concern.
Huo Yanchuan knew that Wenrou was worried about her second brother, so he was careful not to hurt him too badly.
I just wanted to beat him awake and let him see what that woman was really like.
Wen Jinian, having been punched, looked up at Huo Yanchuan, his face turning cold. "Who are you?"
He just saw that Wenrou and this man seemed to have a very special relationship. He wondered what their relationship was.
Huo Yanchuan punched him once, but he was still not satisfied, so he raised his foot and kicked Wen Jinian hard in the stomach.
Although Wen Jinian was physically capable, he had no chance of fighting back against Huo Yanchuan, who had trained in the military for many years.
"You..." Wen Jinian was kicked and his body went straight backward, crashing into the wall behind him.
He stood up and glared angrily at Huo Yanchuan.
"Are you awake now? You want to take the blame for someone from a spy organization. Have you thought about your family? Once you're labeled a spy, your parents, your older brother and sister-in-law, your niece, and your sister will all be implicated. They'll never be able to hold their heads high in public again because of this crime."
Huo Yanchuan looked at Wen Jinian with a chilling coldness on his face.
"I..." Wen Jinian looked up at Wenrou at this moment, thinking of his parents, older brother and sister-in-law. He opened his mouth, then slumped his shoulders weakly.
He really hadn't thought about these things this time, and now it seems that he was indeed too selfish.
But he didn't know how to choose; on one side was his lover, and on the other side were his family.
Can anyone tell him how to choose?
Wenrou sighed gently, stepped forward and helped Wen Jinian sit down in a chair, then looked at Huo Yanchuan and introduced him, "Second brother, this is Huo Yanchuan, my husband. We also have two daughters. You haven't met your niece yet, have you? You'll be able to meet her when we get home."
"Is he your husband?" Wen Jinian looked at Huo Yanchuan again.
"Second brother, you always protected me when I was little. You even said that when I grew up and got married, you would carry me on your back to the altar. You said you wanted to see me happy. Do you remember all of this?" Wenrou looked at Wen Jinian with red eyes and talked about many things from her childhood.
She believed that her second brother was definitely not a selfish person, and that he could distinguish right from wrong.
At this moment, Huo Yanchuan took out a letter from his pocket. He opened the envelope, and inside was a list of everything He Wenjun had done over the years.
"You don't know this yet, do you? The person you've been protecting is actually the biggest boss of the spy organization. He Wenjun is the mastermind behind all of this. She approached you to use you. Many men like her, but you are just one of them, and the only one who is willing to take the blame for her. You think she really loves you? You're wrong. She only ever loves herself."
Huo Yanchuan slammed the letter in his hand down in front of Wen Jinian; it was something he had obtained from the spy organization.
If it weren't for this evidence, they would still be unaware of He Wenjun's true identity.
Wen Jinian looked at the letter on the table. Although he didn't believe He Wenjun was that kind of person, he still reached out and took the letter, reading it word by word.
By the end, his eyes were filled with disbelief.
He sat there in a daze, never expecting that the person he had loved for the first time, the one he had given everything to, had been a liar from beginning to end.
Wenrou picked up the letter and started reading it. It not only listed everything He Wenjun had done, but also all the people she had killed, as well as the names of Xiaobao's parents.
"Second brother, that woman has killed so many people, many of whom were researchers and soldiers who had contributed to the country. If you take the blame for her, you will become a sinner for all time. A person like that deserves to be executed a hundred times over."
After reading the letter, Wenrou was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
She never imagined someone could be so evil, so wicked to the core. Such a person should have died long ago.
In her past life, her second brother took the blame for her, allowing her to take Xiao Bao away, which harmed many others.
In this life, no matter what, I must shoot her to vent my anger.
In fact, they didn't even need Wen Jinian. Huo Yanchuan and his group had already obtained evidence of He Wenjun's crimes, and she wouldn't be able to cause trouble for long.
He came here because of Wenrou, wanting to give Wen Jinian one last chance.
If he still cares about his family, he would never repeat the mistakes of his past life.
Wen Jinian sat in the chair in silence for a long time before slowly sighing and saying, "I will confess. I will tell you everything I know. Little sister, your second brother said he would protect you and would not let Nu suffer any criticism or harm."
Hearing that Wen Jinian had finally confessed, Wenrou hugged Xiaobao and a relieved smile appeared on her face.
"Second Brother, Xiao Bao and I are waiting for you outside. We'll wait for you to come home together."
Now that Wen Jinian had been persuaded, it was no longer appropriate for Wenrou to stay there any longer, so she took Xiaobao and left.
Inside the interrogation room, Huo Yanchuan stayed for a full half hour, asking all the necessary questions. He then ignored Wen Jinian, instructed someone to keep an eye on him for the time being, and went out to find Wenrou.
Seeing him come out, Wenrou hurriedly went up to him and asked, "How are you?"
"His confession was mostly accurate, and he has been cleared of suspicion. However, his actions have affected our mission, so according to regulations, he cannot be released so soon and must remain in custody for a period of time."
"As long as he's not executed, that's all that matters." Wenrou finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Soon, they heard He Wenjun's shouts coming from inside.
After hearing that Wen Jinian had betrayed her, she finally began to panic.
"Where are you taking me? I've already told you I've been framed. I'm not a spy. Wen Jinian did everything. Let me go."
Hearing that He Wenjun was still trying to shift all the blame onto her second brother even at this point, Wenrou's face turned cold. Such a person should be shot immediately.
"Where are you taking her?" she asked Huo Yanchuan.
She wasn't part of an intelligence organization and knew she was overstepping her bounds by asking such a question, but in this life, she hadn't personally witnessed He Wenjun's execution, and she probably couldn't sleep soundly.
Huo Yanchuan knew that Wenrou was still somewhat uneasy, so he said with a serious expression, "Execute her on the spot."
They have already obtained evidence of He Wenjun's crimes, and each piece of evidence is enough to warrant her execution. Such a heinous person has the right to be executed directly.
Hearing Huo Yanchuan's words, Wenrou was finally relieved.
She and Huo Yanchuan waited outside for a while, and then they heard a gunshot in the distance.
As the gunshots fell, He Wenjun's cursing finally stopped.
She looked gently at Huo Yanchuan. He was dead. That woman was finally dead.
Although she couldn't witness her execution, she knew that Huo Yanchuan had brought her here specifically to put her mind at ease and let her hear the outcome with her own ears.
"She's dead, she'll never hurt anyone again, you can rest assured." Huo Yanchuan looked at Wenrou at this moment and gently wiped away her tears.
It wasn't until his fingertips touched her cheek that Wenrou realized she had been crying without even noticing.
She cried because the female demon was finally dead, and all the heroes she had killed could finally rest in peace.
"Thank you," she said to Huo Yanchuan, her voice choked with emotion.
Huo Yanchuan stepped forward, reached out and hugged Wenrou tightly, gently comforting her, "Don't thank me, I will definitely do what I promised you."
Xiao Bao was being held by him at this time, and he also had great respect for Xiao Bao's parents.
Wenrou reached out and stroked Xiaobao's head, saying, "Xiaobao, the murderer who killed your parents has finally received the punishment he deserved. They can rest in peace now."
Xiao Bao nodded. Although he had never seen his parents since he was born, from now on, he was no longer an unwanted child.
He knew his parents were heroes, that they were watching over him from heaven and protecting him.
"Aunt Xiaorou, can I really go with you?" Xiaobao looked up at Wenrou and asked.
He longed to go with Wenrou and couldn't bear to leave her.
She helped him find the murderer who killed his parents and uncover his background. After spending these days together, he had already come to regard Wenrou as his mother, so of course he couldn't bear to leave her.
"Of course, I'll tell Grandma about it when we get back, and we'll go back to the military family compound together." Wenrou gently rubbed his head and said with a smile.
Her decision to take Xiaobao with her was made after careful consideration.
Of course, I didn't want to ruin his future. Besides finding him a good school, I also wanted to keep him by my side and watch over him, since he was the boss of a criminal organization in his previous life.
She was still a little uneasy leaving him in the countryside if she didn't keep an eye on him herself.
What if he goes astray again because of Li Xiuying's pampering?
Given the lessons learned from the past, she couldn't afford to be careless.
Xiao Bao was very happy to hear Wenrou say that.
At this moment, Huo Yanchuan also spoke up: "I have already applied to the higher-ups. Xiaobao's parents are both martyrs, and he is a descendant of martyrs. He is also entitled to martyrs' family compensation, and his parents' honorary medals will also be given to him."
Upon hearing Huo Yanchuan's words, Xiao Bao looked at him earnestly and said, "Thank you, Uncle Huo."
He knew that Huo Yanchuan had helped him with all of this. If it weren't for him and Wenrou, he probably would never have been able to get rid of that woman in his life, nor would he have known about his background.
Although she used to resent him for always monopolizing her tenderness, she has now forgiven him.
"You're welcome. Your father's surname is Jiang, your mother's surname is He, and you also have your own name, Jiang Yan. These are the belongings of your parents that I found, and I'm entrusting them to you for safekeeping."
After Huo Yanchuan finished speaking, he took out a half-broken jade pendant from his pocket. It had Jiang Yan's name on it and should have been left to him by his parents.
It's a bit of a shame that it's only half broken.
"Jiang Yan..." Xiao Bao slowly uttered his name. It turned out he had a name too.
Over the years, He Wenjun has always called him Xiaobao, and he has always believed that this is his real name.
"Xiao Yan, this name is indeed given by cultured people. Your parents gave you a very nice name. From now on, we will call you Xiao Yan." She said with a gentle smile.
Jiang Yan reached out and took Wenrou's hand, saying, "My little sister is still waiting for us at home, Aunt Xiaorou, let's go back."
Wenrou nodded gently. "Okay, let's go home."
"You guys go back first, I'll come back to find you after I've finished dealing with things here."
Huo Yanchuan needed to stay and finish dealing with the remaining matters, so he didn't go back with Wenrou and the others, but he did arrange for someone to send them back.
After Wenrou took Xiaoyan back, she told her family about her second brother's situation.
After hearing that Wen Jinian had almost been executed, the whole family felt a sense of lingering fear.
"The second son is out of his mind. He took the blame for a woman. He has really disgraced the family." Wen Jianshe said with a stern face, slamming his fist on the table.
Wen Jiguang nodded in agreement, "When he gets back, I'm going to give him a good scolding."
Li Xiuying looked at Jiang Yan, still somewhat disbelieving, and asked, "Xiao Bao really isn't your second brother's child?"
Wenrou nodded gently. "Xiaoyan's parents have been found. They are both martyrs. I was just about to tell you about this. We will take him back to the military family compound."
"Oh dear, my precious grandson, I can't bear to part with Xiaobao." Li Xiuying cried uncontrollably at the thought of her beloved grandson, whom she had finally gained, leaving her.
Seeing this, Jiang Yan stepped forward and reached out to wipe away Li Xiuying's tears. "I will always be Grandma's good grandson. If you miss me, you can come to the military family compound to see me."
