"Yes, you're right. Do you know who the Senior General of the Huaxia Army is? And who was his murdered wife?" Cyan Flame couldn't help but drop a hint.
"I don't know the general's real name; at that time, he was codenamed Black Lion. The Government Army didn't dare to fight when they heard it was Black Lion leading the troops; their past record was ten battles and ten losses," Qin Zhi Han recalled. Back then, he was still with Li Tuan of the Huaxia Four Corps, and information was not well disseminated in the early days of the apocalypse. By the time they learned about this tragedy, the information was already fragmented.
"Black Lion is now Qi Runzhou, the Vice Captain," Cyan Flame finally revealed.
"What?" Qin Zhi Han exclaimed in shock, slamming his hand on the table.
"And his brutally murdered wife was named Su Ruolan," Cyan Flame dropped another bombshell.
"How do you know this? Is the information reliable?" Qin Zhi Han was at a loss for words.
"Absolutely reliable; I heard it from Qi Commander's wife, Kang Wanying. Back then, she was a propagandist in Qi Commander's team and had feelings for him. She and Su Ruolan met Qi Runzhou almost at the same time. However, Su Ruolan came from a noble family and had a high moral standing; she was also a talented woman admired by local young elites. When Qi Runzhou's team arrived in Su Ruolan's hometown, he received support and recognition from her father. They met during a family banquet and fell in love afterward. Eventually, Su Ruolan became pregnant and couldn't follow Qi Runzhou when he had to evacuate. When the Government Army besieged him, Su Ruolan was captured while trying to cover his escape. They thought it would only be imprisonment at most and that she could be rescued, but somehow she suffered such a horrific fate."
"So did Qi Runzhou betray her during their marriage or did he remarry after her death?" Just thinking about Su Ruolan, even though they weren't the same person, their shared name made Qin Zhi Han feel deep sympathy and curiosity about whether she had suffered.
"No. According to Kang Wanying, it was after Su Ruolan's death that she couldn't help but express her feelings for Qi Runzhou and often comforted him, which led to their relationship and marriage," Cyan Flame shook his head. "However, it’s too forgetful and heartless for a new bride to enter just three months after the death of his first wife."
"I wonder what connection Ruo Lan has with this; seeing her so heartbroken over this matter must mean there’s something significant behind it. Could they be sisters or close friends?" Qin Zhi Han said. "I really want to see her soon to comfort her; not all men are like that. She mustn't dismiss everything just because of her friend’s man. I need to find her as soon as possible."
Back in his room, Qi Runzhou was lost in thought. How could that girl share a name with Ruo Lan? Why did she seem so deeply affected by Ruo Lan's plight? What was her relationship with Ruo Lan? Where could she be? He had to find her and ask her directly.
The last time they met ended on bad terms; how could he find her now? Wait, she seemed to have a good relationship with Qin Zhi Han—if he followed Qin Zhi Han, he would surely find her. With that thought in mind, Qi Runzhou hurried toward Qin Zhi Han's apartment.
In the room, Kang Wanying sat in disbelief, unable to comprehend that Qi Runzhou was acting as if she were invisible, despite her being right there. Although she knew that as long as Su Ruolan was present, she would be overlooked, it was hard to accept that even after Ruolan's death, she was still being ignored. It felt like an unbearable insult. During Ruolan's life, she had constantly suppressed her emotions, but now that Ruolan was gone, her true feelings could finally surface. Yet here she was, a mere spirit lingering on, determined that her family would not be torn apart. She had done nothing wrong by Ruolan.
Just moments ago, Runzhou had hurried out—was he going to find her?
This time, no matter who it was, they could not take Runzhou away; she had to protect this family. Kang Wanying gently touched her abdomen, a loving smile on her face. "Runzhou," she whispered softly, "do you know? You have a baby now. You're going to be a father."
