She asked several times, but they only told her that something unfortunate had happened back then, and that’s why the family had scattered.
Hua Sheng left C City with his father, while Hai Xiaotang’s mother and grandmother stayed behind.
As a result, they were separated for decades.
It was not until six months ago when Hua Xuan, who was assigned to work in C City, met Hai Xiaotang, that she was found.
It was also at that time that Hua Sheng found out that his mother and sister had passed away a long time ago.
Not only did his sister marry Hai Zhiyuan’s son, but she also had a daughter, Hai Xiaotang!
But for the details of the past, Hai Xiaotang didn’t have a clue.
Upon hearing her uncle mention her mother again, Hai Xiaotang couldn’t help but ask, “Uncle, are you still not willing to tell me about the Hua Family’s past?”
She thought he might still remain silent, but to her surprise, he said solemnly, “It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but it’s complicated and I’m not sure how to begin. But since you want to know, I’ll try to simplify it for you…”
Then Hua Sheng narrated the events to her.
As it turned out, Hai Xiaotang’s grandfather, Hua Dongliang, was the top officer in C City’s military, also Hai Zhiyuan’s direct superior.
Hai Zhiyuan had been following Hua Dongliang since he enlisted. It’s safe to say that they shared a good relationship and Hai Zhiyuan was always very loyal to Hua Dongliang.
Hai Xiaotang’s grandmother was a child bride to Hua Dongliang, but he did not have feelings for her.
Hua Dongliang later fell in love with another woman and insisted on keeping her by his side.
Heartbroken, Hai Xiaotang’s grandmother left secretly with her young daughter.
She couldn’t take her son with her, so she could only leave with her daughter.
After they left, Hua Dongliang sent people to search for sometime but failed to locate them, and eventually, he gave up.
As for why Hua Dongliang’s family left C City, it was related to a major case 30 years ago.
Hua Dongliang’s sworn brother had exploited Hua Dongliang’s reputation to conduct numerous illegal transactions in secret.
He even stole Hua Dongliang’s classified documents and sold them to other countries.
When the state secrets were leaked, the higher-ups asked Hua Dongliang to produce an explanation quickly. Otherwise, they would try him in a military court.
Hua Dongliang had no idea how the secrets were leaked, so he didn’t know where to start.
During that time, the Dongfang Family was cooperating with Hua Dongliang’s army to set up a military research base.
And the establishment of the research base was related to the classified documents.
Of course, Hua Dongliang began to suspect the Dongfang Family.
Making matters worse, Hua Dongliang’s sworn brother intentionally framed the Dongfang Family, further deepening the suspicions against them!
In order to solve the case, without solid evidence, Hua Dongliang immediately ordered for the detention of the entire Dongfang Family.
The person dispatched to execute the order was none other than Hai Xiaotang’s grandfather, Hai Zhiyuan.
However, the interrogator was not Hai Zhiyuan, but Hua Dongliang himself!
In a rush to solve the case, and wielding a firm belief that it was the Dongfang Family who leaked the secrets, he resorted to torture to force them into confession!
Unexpectedly, not only did they refuse to confess, but some even died.
Hai Zhiyuan, realizing their willingness to die than admit guilt, suspected that something was amiss. As he had been with Hua Dongliang for a long time and had seen many things clearly, he had long suspected that the woman by Hua Dongliang’s side was the problem.
He suspected that it was this woman who stole the confidential documents.
Then, upon secret investigation, he discovered that this woman had secret dealings with Hua Dongliang’s sworn brother!
