Chapter 1571 Sisterly Night Talk 1
The one who stole the child was not an outsider but one of Commander Rong’s comrades—a comrade who had returned from the battlefield, suffering injuries that led to infertility and subsequent mental health issues. His name was Li Jun.
This incident was something Commander Rong and his wife had never disclosed to anyone, including their son Rong Yuan.
Some people accept the reality of losing the ability to have children, while others can’t. Li Jun was the latter. Coincidentally, the couple received a letter from his hometown, saying his elderly mother was in poor health and was waiting eagerly to see a grandson.
Li Jun and his wife Hu Lan were revolutionary companions, having braved life-and-death situations together. After their marriage, they hadn’t returned home for several years.
Commander Rong’s twin sons, Rong Yuan and Rong Hui, were just over a year old. The twins looked identical—fair-skinned and clean-cut, each with a small black mole above one eyebrow. At the time, they were the pride of the troops.
Li Jun and his wife requested leave and, privately, asked Commander Rong to lend them one of his children to take home for his elderly mother to see. After all, his mother knew nothing about their life as a married couple. Commander Rong didn’t overthink it; he and Li Jun were sworn comrades who shared life-and-death bonds. He managed to persuade his wife to lend one of the children to Li Jun. At the time, the elder twin Rong Yuan was slightly under the weather, so they decided to give the younger twin Rong Hui to Li Jun.
No one could have imagined that after Li Jun and his wife left with the child, they would never return. Commander Rong discovered that Li Jun had retired from the military due to injuries and regretted his decision deeply. He sent people to Li Jun’s hometown, only to learn that Li Jun and his wife had held a funeral for his mother and then disappeared.
Because of this, Hu Lan refused to meet Commander Rong again. After Commander Rong stayed in the northwest, Hu Lan took Rong Yuan and lived in the Capital.
A fractured family—this was the story of Commander Rong’s life.
"What’s the child’s name, how old is he, and on which train? I’ll contact my comrades in the railway bureau right now to investigate. I’m certain we’ll find him. We must find him!" Commander Rong said urgently.
