Chapter 419 It turns out it was because of him
Old Dai called out, "Little Song, come here quickly, it's an international long-distance call."
Who is this? An international call has come in here?
Song Tingnan answered the phone suspiciously, "Sister, I wish you could come. Father has passed away, sob sob..."
"Buzz..." Song Tingnan's ears rang. It was Suzuki Han's call. Zheng Yueqiang? Wasn't he fine just a few days ago?
"Tingnan, little sister, are you listening?"
"Him? Why? How could he..." Song Tingnan finally found her voice after a long while.
Suzuki Kan said on the other end of the phone, "His health has not been very good over the years. He suffered injuries on the battlefield, was poisoned by assassins... He said that his mission was completed and he could rest in peace, but he couldn't hold on any longer."
"Is it because of me...?" Song Tingnan clenched her fists. The man who inspired her to strive for success, was he really gone?
It must be because of her that Zheng Yueqiang lost his will to live.
"Little sister, what did you say? Because of what?"
"Is it...is it because he saw me and ate that soup..."
Suzuki Han hurriedly said, "No, no, no, Father has been very happy these days, all because he saw you. Sister, don't worry, your soup is fine. He passed away last night, and he left peacefully."
Suzuki Han knew his father well. Although he was born in Japan, he had heard his father talk about their distant homeland many times since he was a child. He longed for China and thought that one day his father could take them back to visit. So when he met his cousin Song Tingnan, he was incredibly affectionate.
However, given the recent turmoil in Japan, he suspected it might be related to his father's meeting with Song Tingnan, but he didn't mention it at all. His father had already passed away, and this 'sin' could not be placed on the Suzuki family's shoulders.
"No, it was me... I scolded him, I yelled at him, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was so serious..." Song Tingnan hurriedly hung up the phone, slid to the ground, hugged her knees and cried.
Zheng Yueqiang had completed his mission, and the last vestige of his strength finally gave way. Seeing Song Tingnan and learning the truth about his family filled him with remorse, and he lost all will to live.
"Sister, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault. Believe me, Mother doesn't blame you either. She still hopes you can come over, is that alright?"
"Okay!" Song Tingnan wiped away her tears; it was time to go pick him up and take him home.
"Xiao Song, what's wrong? Who called?" Old Dai pushed the door open and came in.
"My...my cousin!"
"Your cousin? This call is from Japan, isn't it?" Old Dai asked tentatively. What exactly is Xiao Song's family background?
During the censorship, they said he was from a rural area. Now his master is an anti-Japanese war hero, his godfather is an underground party member, and now a Japanese cousin has appeared... Is there something else going to happen?
"Yes, Professor Dai, could you take me to see the Prime Minister again? I want to confirm some things."
Mr. Dai nodded; he also needed to understand the true situation of each member of the team.
"Premier, Zheng Yueqiang has passed away. Can you tell us about his life?" Old Dai asked directly.
He's considered a senior figure, and after some back and forth, some speculations are just waiting for official confirmation.
The Premier looked at Song Tingnan and asked, "Song Tingnan, have your formal employment procedures been completed?"
"done!"
"That's good! Your uncle can rest assured now. He's very happy that someone has taken over his job."
"Was it my uncle?" It turned out that the reason I received the notice of promotion so quickly was because of him.
The Premier solemnly said, "He called me and strongly recommended you. Comrade Song Tingnan, I tell you with great responsibility that Comrade Zheng Yueqiang is a great Communist."
As the war drew to a close, for the sake of the Party's cause, he was ordered to infiltrate the enemy's ranks alone, squeezing into the Japanese military headquarters and sending back many confidential messages.
The information you brought back this time is of paramount importance. It revealed information that caused significant upheaval within the Japanese military leadership and secured substantial reparations for our country.
I cannot disclose the specific information to you. But this time, Japan has suffered a severe blow, and your Ministry of Foreign Affairs can now negotiate with them with greater confidence.
Old Dai was overjoyed. "That's wonderful! We don't have to put up with that jerk anymore. They're such a small place, yet they act so arrogantly."
Song Tingnan's eyes reddened, and she choked up as she said, "Premier, may I go to Japan again? I want to go with my brother and sister to pay our respects and bring him home."
