Chapter 664 Serve The Country Xiang Hulin was shaking from anger. He looked at the soldiers around and said, "Find out what happened!"
"Yes, General!"
Once again his daughter got hurt while he was around! Deep down he even had a thought that he was the real problem. He only got to meet his daughter for the first time and she got hurt again.
Everyone might have thought that he was only following his mother's last wish for all those years. But that was only a part of the truth. The biggest reason why he couldn't bring himself to come before Raelle was his guilt. More than anything, the strongest feeling he had towards Raelle was guilt. It was undeniable that he felt guilty whenever he thought about her.
As a father, he couldn't even protect his daughter. But that was something he had to live with. He had to live with the fact that he wronged his daughter. He couldn't protect her. No matter how difficult it was, he had to live with it.
"General!"
Xiang Hulin looked at the soldier who called him and took the tab he passed him.
"We looked through all the surveillance footage but couldn't find anything. The footage we were looking for had been deleted. That's why it took a while to recover it."
"Have you recovered it?"
"Yes!"
"Then just let me see it," said Xiang Hulin and clicked on the tab. He played the video and his jaw tensed once he saw the video. Seeing all that blood, his heart chilled. His hands clenched around the tablet so tightly that cracks appeared on the screen.
"General Xiang..."
It was only after he heard someone calling him that he snapped out of it. He threw the tablet back to the soldier beside him and took deep breaths to calm himself down. But he wasn't able to extinguish this fire burning in his heart right now. And he so wanted to pull everyone else into those flames as well.
"Do you have any orders?" asked the soldier tentatively as he observed the dark expressions on the General's face. He looked scary. Scarier than usual.
"Go and find out how is my daughter," said Xiang Hulin. "And give me the details of her condition."
"Yes, sir!"
The soldier thought he heard wrong. How come the General only asked about his daughter's health? Why didn't he instruct them to find the culprit or do anything to avenge his daughter?
Although the soldier was feeling confused, he couldn't find the answer on his own. And Xiang Hulin definitely won't give him the answers he wanted either.
It wasn't like Xiang Hulin didn't want to avenge his daughter but he knew he couldn't do it. It was only after thinking for a while did he recall the identity of Anna. An SSS rank mercenary who was even worse than an assassin. She was once on the wanted list on the black market with a high bounty on her head.
He was suddenly curious to know how his dear sister, Mu Chenyna managed to tame someone like that? Was it even possible to tame someone who only grew up knowing the taste of blood? He wasn't sure but he was certain about one thing. If anyone could do it, it had to be his family's Mu Chenyan.
The reason why he couldn't act recklessly was that he was a General. He was bound by military laws. He couldn't go against them. Even his own father won't go against his principles. But Mu Chenyan was different. She hated being bound to rules. That was the reason why she never stayed in one place for long. She couldn't give up her freedom.
And since she was the rule breaker, only she was able to avenge his daughter with her ruthless means. As he recalled the look on Anna and the three people who followed her, he was certain that none of them were kind-hearted. It was for sure that they'd be able to torture Ruan Meilin in a way that wasn't possible for him to do so given his position.
"Hulin!"
Xiang Hulin didn't even look at Zhai Kuijun who found him while leaving the banquet. Placing his arm around his shoulder, he said, "Friend, I didn't even see you inside. Were you hiding here?" When Xiang Hulin didn't reply, Zhai Kuijun frowned, "Hey! What's wrong with you? Why does it seem like you want to murder someone?"
"Because I do want to," answered Xiang Hulin straightforwardly.
"Even if you're a general, you can't kill people however you want," said Zhai Kuijun. "As a soldier, your job is to protect people. If you started killing them, you won't be called a savior any longer."
"I have been a savior for far too long," was Xiang Hulin's reply. "I gave up too much to save this country and its people. But in the process, I have lost everything. Including my own children. So, lately, I've been wondering if it was all worth it?"
Zhai Kuijun didn't know how to reply to that question. Perhaps, there wasn't a right answer to that question at all. He patted his shoulder, "Hulin, soldiers have to make sacrifices. They lose the right to put their own feelings above everything. They have to put the country above everything. It's an inevitable sacrifice."
"I know," said Xiang Hulin. He could only sigh to himself. It wasn't like he didn't know that. He knew what he was getting into when he made his choice to become a soldier. Perhaps, when he first joined the army, it was only because of the influence of his bloodline and the legacy of his family. However, it wasn't the same after all these years.
He could never become a good father but he didn't want to be a horrible person as well. At least, for now, his children were proud of him.
He truly lost the right to put his feelings above everything once he decided to serve the country and its people.
