"Xinghe ! I need to tell you something . ", Feng Mian followed Rong Xinghe ."What is it Mian ? ", Rong Xinghe stopped in her tracks and turned around to face the woman .
" Your brother Zhi Al , confessed to me a week ago . "
Rong Xinghe was slightly taken aback when Feng Mian mentioned Zhi Al ," I know . But as far as I remember , you had rejected him . Right ? "
"You know about it already ? Aren"t you upset that I rejected him . After all , he is your brother .", Feng Mian was confused .
" Why would I be upset ? Everyone has the right to make their own decisions . ", Rong Xinghe shrugged ," Why do you ask , by the way ? "
"Uhh ... I just wanted to know if he is alright . You know he hasn"t shown up in the Military Chief office despite the fact that he has so much work here . I was just a little ... "
" ... worried about him ? ", Rong Xinghe raised her brows ever so slightly ," Don"t worry . He is my brother . Until and unless Rong Xinghe is alive , her brothers would stay strong . Yeah , he has been a little zoned out for sometime now . He has been drinking a lot as well . But he will be fine . I am there for him . "
"What ?! Why would he harm himself like that ? Xinghe , please make sure that he doesn"t drink alcohol like that anymore ! ", Feng Mian was concerned all of a sudden .
Rong Xinghe shook her head helplessly when she listened to the tone of the woman .
It seemed like she liked her brother as well , but she was herself having complex feelings about the possibility of their relations.h.i.+p .
And why not ?
Out of all her brothers , Zhi Al and Su Rogguang acted immaturely the most .
That man had been picking up fights and arguments with this woman for almost every day just so that he could come in contact with her .
How was she to like him ?
"Mian . Do you really think that I will let anything happen to the most important people in my life ? Trust me . He will be fine . You prepare for your wedding with Officer Yi . ", Rong Xinghe patted the woman"s shoulder and left her in a daze .
_______
" a.s.sistant Shou . Did you get the information about that Officer Yi ? The man Feng Mian is going to marry . ", this was the first thing Rong Xinghe asked to Shou Wu as soon as she entered her office .
"The investigation is still going on . So far , he is clean ."
" Hmmm . Alright then , clear my schedule for 8th of October . ", the girl looked seriously at Shou Wu .
" Is there something important , Military Chief ? ", Shou Wu was muddled .
Rong Xinghe nodded ," Yeah . I am going to Country I . Prepare a basic flight . No security . I will go alone in my disguise . "
" But why are you going to Country I , Boss? "
Rong Xinghe clenched her fists as looked into the s.p.a.ce ," To visit the place , where all of it began ."
The Youth Team had planned a Birthday Bash on 9th of October as Rong Xiao had also returned back , so she couldn"t leave Country X on that day . Instead , she would go there on 8th of October .
Shou Wu nodded and left the office .
He had no idea what his Boss was thinking about , but all he knew was that it was quite personal and going to Country I was important for her .

Meanwhile , In Country s.h.i.+ne Cafe :
Rong Xiao was sipping her coffee and discussing her future plans with Su Rogguang ," Bro Su ! Do you think I should study more courses or ... should I start practicing . "
"I think its perfect time for you to enter the battlefield . You are done with your masters in surgery . Although you are a cardiac surgeon now , it is all on the paper . You will have to take the scalpel in your hands in order to achieve the pinnacle of success in medical world. And about other courses , you can do that side by side .
"Remember one thing Xiao , a doctor can never stop learning . Even I am learning new things everyday . In this modern society , the lifestyle of people has been changing for worse which results in occurrence of different , chronic and new diseases . A doctor needs to catch up with these diseases and their treatment , or we won"t be able to save the patients . ", Su Rogguang gave his words of wisdom .
Rong Xiao nodded obediently .
Both the Rong sisters had an extremely rebellious character but compared to Rong Xinghe , Rong Xiao was less stubborn .
But then again , there was bound to be some differences between a surgeon and a soldier .
Rong Xiao saved people"s lives but Rong Xinghe secured the entire nation .
Moreover , Rong Xiao really respected Su Rogguang as he was her inspiration to get into the medical field .
After chatting for a bit , Su Rogguang went out of the cafe to pick up a phone call while Rong Xiao kept on sipping her coffee .
" Xiao Xiao ! "
As soon as Rong Xiao heard someone calling her name so intimately , she turned around to look at the person . But the moment she saw the old man standing with a walking stick , her face turned pale.
" Xiao Xiao ! My dear granddaughter ! I have missed you so much in the past years . I never expected to see you here .", the old man looked relieved and delighted yet a little weak .
Rong Xiao kept her coffee cup on the table and started to walk out the cafe .
She didn"t wanted to see this person at all .
She knew it very well , that this weak and helpless state was a mere facade of this man .
This man was Rong family"s elder , Rong Quiang !
She could never forget how high and mighty he was acting ten years ago . She could never forget the pain her sister had gone through back then because of them.
But before Rong Xiao could leave the place , Rong Quiang grabbed her wrist and started wailing as if he was wronged ," Xiao Xiao ! What are you and Xiao Xinghe punis.h.i.+ng us for ?! How many times have we called you both back to your home ?! Yet you don"t even meet us . What sin have we Rong family committed ? Tell us ! We will quickly change ourselves . "
" I could publish an entire book if I start writing the sins you people have committed !", Su Rogguang"s icy cold voice resonated from Rong Xiao"s behind as the man walked over and stared straight into the old man"s eyes ," Leave her hand ".
Rong Quiang"s eyes darkened but he eventually released Rong Xiao"s hand .
"You sure have some guts to show your face in front of my sister , Mr. Rong ! "
