Chapter 379 The Last Meeting in This Life
Gu Nan did not answer Tian Guangwen's question, but looked towards the door.
Tian Guangzhi stood at the door and took a deep breath.
It's as if taking a single step forward requires immense courage.
Gu Nan didn't urge him, but just watched him and waited for him to be ready before coming in.
Tian Guangwen, who was handcuffed to a metal chair, knew that Tian Guangzhi was at the door.
Tian Guangwen looked at the door and shouted, "You're already here? Come on in!"
When Tian Guangzhi heard his younger brother Tian Guangwen's voice, his heart felt as if it had been struck.
He let out a long breath and stepped inside.
This step seemed incredibly heavy for Tian Guangzhi.
Upon entering the interrogation room, Tian Guangzhi looked at Tian Guangwen.
I feel a kind of indescribable sadness in my heart.
"What's with that expression? Did you eat shit?" Tian Guangwen asked casually when he saw Tian Guangzhi's expression.
Seeing Tian Guangzhi standing there unharmed, Tian Guangwen was quite happy.
Tian Guangwen's gaze fell on Tian Guangzhi's bandaged hand.
After a long silence, Tian Guangwen finally spoke, "I'm sorry."
When Tian Guangzhi heard Tian Guangwen say "I'm sorry" to him, his eyes instantly welled up with tears.
Gu Nan patted Tian Guangzhi on the shoulder, gesturing for him to sit down.
Tian Guangzhi and Gu Nan both sat opposite Tian Guangwen.
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
The interrogation room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
After a long while, Gu Nan broke the silence.
"Is there anything else you need to add to what you've told us?" Gu Nan asked Tian Guangwen.
Tian Guangwen thought for a moment and then shook his head.
"I've told you everything I know and can remember," Tian Guangwen said, looking at Gu Nan.
"Mm," Gu Nan replied.
Tian Guangzhi, who was standing to the side, knew what Gu Nan meant by those words.
If everything that needs to be explained has been explained, then Tian Guangwen should be moved to another location.
Tian Guangwen will be detained separately and await a decision from his superiors.
Everyone present knew that only death awaited Tian Guangwen.
Although Tian Guangwen confessed everything he knew, it couldn't atone for his capital offense.
I'm destined to eat peanuts.
Tian Guangzhi looked at Tian Guangwen, wanting to say a lot, but couldn't utter a single word.
Because his younger brother went astray and did something irreparable, death awaited him.
"You've come here, aren't you going to say anything to me?" Tian Guangwen asked, looking at Tian Guangzhi.
Tian Guangzhi had a lot to say, but he couldn't utter a single word.
I don't know how to start the conversation or what to say.
"If you don't speak up now, you'll miss your chance."
"I believe this is the last time we will ever meet," Tian Guangwen said, trying to sound casual.
Tian Guangzhi's eyes reddened again and again.
"It's good that you were able to speak up at the very end," Tian Guangzhi finally said.
“It was Tian Guangwen who made me say it when I was a child. It was Tian Guangwen who made me say it when he saw that orange-flavored fruit candy.”
"..."
"Brother, ever since I joined the army, I've been really jealous of you. I feel like you can be number one in everything."
"With you here, I feel like my brilliance has been overshadowed by you."
I want to beat you just once, even just once.
"But from the moment I was wounded on a mission, from the moment I started working in an office, I knew I would never have another chance to beat you."
"I thought that this was how I won against you."
"In the end... it was just that we were too arrogant and went down a dead end."
"If I could do it all over again, I would probably still make the same choice."
"I don't regret any of the choices I made, because they were the most correct things I did at the time."
"You may not understand, but you don't need to understand me."
“I am not afraid to face death; it is the punishment I deserve.”
"You don't need to be sad for me, I deserve this."
“I still think the same way I did in that abandoned warehouse.”
As Tian Guangwen spoke, he looked directly at Tian Guangzhi with an open and honest gaze.
At this point, Tian Guangzhi believed that his younger brother had finally come to his senses.
If he could do it all over again, he probably wouldn't choose to enter the darkness, nor would he choose to betray his country.
But he actually said that he would do the same thing again if he could do it all over again...
This was somewhat disappointing for Tian Guangzhi.
"Which sentence are you referring to?" Tian Guangzhi asked his younger brother, Tian Guangwen, with a frown.
"My dear brother, in the next life, I don't want to be your brother."
"If there is an afterlife, let's not be brothers anymore," Tian Guangwen said, looking at Tian Guangzhi, word by word.
Upon hearing this, Tian Guangzhi felt extremely distressed.
Does Tian Guangwen still think this way now? If there really is an afterlife, wouldn't he want to be brothers with me again?
Tian Guangwen looked at Tian Guangzhi and added in his mind.
Having a younger brother like me will only bring you trouble.
In your next life, just continue being the radiant Tian Guangzhi.
As for me, I don't want to be a human again in my next life.
This life has been too bitter; I won't come back for the next life.
As soon as he finished speaking, Tian Guangwen closed his eyes.
Tian Guangzhi also lowered his head.
Gu Nan patted Tian Guangzhi on the shoulder.
"Go out," Gu Nan said.
Tian Guangzhi remained silent.
The group sat for a while longer, and after a while, Tian Guangzhi said, "Let's go."
Gu Nan then left the interrogation room with Tian Guangzhi.
As he reached the door, Tian Guangzhi turned back and took one last deep look at his younger brother.
This might be the last time the two brothers see each other.
Tian Guangwen only opened his eyes and looked towards the doorway when the interrogation room door closed again.
"Goodbye, brother."
Brother, I'm so sorry this matter has dragged you into this mess. Because of my good-for-nothing brother, you probably won't be able to stay in the army anymore.
Brother, childhood was so good. Although we often went hungry, with you by my side, I felt that my childhood wasn't so bad.
Brother, if there is an afterlife, let's not meet again.
Gu Nan and Tian Guangzhi left the interrogation room, and Gu Nan patted Tian Guangzhi on the shoulder.
"I'm fine," Tian Guangzhi forced a smile.
"Someone has already gone to interrogate Tan Wen to see if there's anything he hasn't confessed."
"Ah."
"Go and rest for a while," Gu Nan said to Tian Guangzhi.
"No, I'll go see Chief Lu and see when I can be suspended from my duties," Tian Guangzhi said with a smile.
"It doesn't necessarily mean he'll be suspended; it depends on the higher-ups' considerations and decisions," Gu Nan reassured him.
Tian Guangzhi smiled and looked at Gu Nan. "Do you even believe what you're saying?"
"Don't you have any idea why you were discharged from the military in the first place?"
Tian Guangzhi actually wanted to stay in the army, because he felt he could make a difference there.
He loves his motherland and is full of passion.
