C442 What a Sad Fact
The matter here was considered to have ended. Next, he had to investigate the matter regarding Hwa Wenfeng. Although it was very difficult for Hwa Wenfeng to wake up now, he still had to do what he needed to do. Xiao Chen still had to do what he needed to do. At least, he had to avenge the First Star General of the empire. He had to find the man who ambushed him.
After returning to Hua Prefecture, Xiao Chen found that it was exceptionally quiet inside. He thought that something had happened again, but he only found out after entering. It seemed like everything here had been moved away. Those servants were also gone. The entire Hua Manor was now an empty house, with nothing at all.
"What's going on?" Xiao Chen muttered to himself.
Then he thought of something and called Hwa Qiye.
"Hello, Xiao Chen?" The voice on the other end was a little heavy.
"That's right, young commander. Why is the mansion completely empty now? Where have you been these past few days?" Xiao Chen asked.
"It's a long story. My dad needs money to treat him now. That's why I plan to sell all of Washington. We still have houses elsewhere. If you don't have a place to live, you can come and live. "Hwa Qiye's answer is a little lacking in spirit. It's obvious that a lot of things have happened in the past two days.
Even the usually energetic young commander seemed to have received a huge blow.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen suddenly felt even more furious. Why did Hwa Wenfeng have an accident? Why did the empire not pay for the medical fees? And now, he even asked the Hwa family to pay for it? This was really too disappointing, wasn't it?
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen quickly rushed to the hospital. After arriving at the hospital, Xiao Chen quickly found Hwa Wenfeng's room. Hwa Qiye was smoking in the corridor. Hwa Xuwan seemed to be too tired, so she fell asleep beside Hwa Wenfeng's bed.
"You are here." Hwa Qiye looked at Xiao Chen.
"What happened? Why do you have to pay for Elder Hua's medical expenses? Doesn't the empire know about this?" Xiao Chen asked with a frown.
"The empire knows about it, but the empire can't do anything about it, because if the empire pays for my father's treatment now... Then there will definitely be more people who will use this matter to make an article, and there will be an even bigger storm in the future. Most importantly, the plan in our country has yet to be completed. So, now that something unexpected has happened to my father, it cannot be announced to the public."
"My father's situation can only be made public after everything outside has been set up. "Hwa Qiye said and took a deep breath.
Xiao Chen heard this and clenched his fists. He really wanted to tell Hwa Qiye now. Hwa Wenfeng could not be saved. It was not just the medical skills he had now that could not be saved. Even he didn't have the ability to save him. The injuries he had suffered this time... In fact, it was equivalent to a fatal injury.
However, the hospital must have hidden some things from them. That was why they deliberately said that Hwa Wenfeng was in a vegetative state.
However, Xiao Chen still couldn't say it out loud. There was no other reason. If he told them about this matter, it would be even crueler for Hwa Qiye and Hwa Xuwan.
However, Xiao Chen was still quite angry. As a person like Hwa Wenfeng, he didn't even dare to die casually. Even if he was going to die, he would be deliberately concealed. It was all for the interests of the empire.
All this time, Xiao Chen suddenly realized that his grandfather seemed to have been busy with the matters of the empire. What exactly was it that was worth so many people rushing forward? What about giving up without asking for anything in return?
Xiao Chen suddenly wanted to find his grandfather, Xiao Qingyuan, and ask this question in front of him. Unfortunately, he didn't have any means to contact Xiao Qingyuan. He could only wait for Xiao Qingyuan to come and find him.
Moreover, even if Xiao Qingyuan came to find him, he might not be able to ask this question. Because Xiao Qingyuan usually appeared because of something else. After completing the task or handing it over to Xiao Chen, he would leave very soon.
It seemed like he had been very busy all this time. Xiao Chen really had no idea what he was busy with right now.
Seeing that Xiao Chen was silent for a long time, Hwa Qiye suddenly patted Xiao Chen on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Chen, don't feel too burdened. I know you might think that everything in front of you is quite unfair to us."
"That's right. It can be said that our family is contributing to the empire, but in the end, we got such a result. It is indeed unfair, but from another perspective, why should we do this?"
Hwa Qiye paused and looked at Xiao Chen.
After Xiao Chen stopped, his face was full of doubt. He shook his head. Obviously, he did not understand why they would sacrifice themselves like this. They had to stick to such a position.
"Because we are doing this for the sake of our beliefs. We also know that. Perhaps there are some people in the entire empire. He isn't worth us saving him. However, there are still many people in the Empire who need us to save them. "
"Besides, if we don't change the situation, perhaps a few more people will inherit our will, but if we insist on changing the situation, then there will be more people who will inherit our will. "
" If, one day, we can let most people know about this... I think the Empire will become truly powerful. The tragedies that happened to our ancestors will not be repeated among our descendants. This is the reason why we are able to persist."
Hwa Qiye said and smiled.
His current smile looked very miserable on his haggard face. It also made people feel sadness bursting out from the bottom of their hearts.
After listening to Hwa Qiye's words, although Xiao Chen had some understanding, he still hadn't completely resolved the knot in his heart. Xiao Chen himself wasn't a person who was good at saying hope or faith.
What he pursued more was to protect the people around him and do what he could. He firmly believed that the greater his ability, the greater the responsibility.
However, all of these didn't mean that he needed to be tolerant of those evil people. Or to understand the existence of evil, he did not want to be tolerant. And he doesn't want to understand what he wants to do... Just doing what he could do was enough.
As for the broad and bigger things that Hwa Qiye mentioned, he didn't have the mood to understand them right now. He wouldn't even understand them in the future.
