C154 This was the truth

When Zhou Qingshan took out Ah Xiu's picture and examined it closely, he suddenly remembered that his son Zhou Guoli's most likely hiding place was his mother's hometown. Thus, he immediately went from Jiang Zhou City to Green Mountain.

He didn't expect that his son was actually here.

As Zhou Qingshan hid in the shadows, he heard his son's words to his mother. Only now did he know that his son's hatred towards him had already reached such a stage, and in his heart, it was like ten thousand worms were gnawing at him.

Zhou Qingshan didn't know if it was because he was growing older day by day, but the pain and guilt caused by his son's hatred was actually getting worse and worse. When he saw that his son had discovered him, he closed his eyes heavily, and two streams of old tears rolled down his cheeks.

The father and son duo had not seen each other for more than ten years, but seeing each other was already an enemy to them. Their hearts were filled with a myriad of emotions that were difficult to put into words.

Even though Zhou Guoli hated his father and had already dismembered his body into a million pieces and scattered them into ashes countless of times he had imagined it, when Zhou Qingshan truly stood in front of him, Zhou Guoli realized that he had never been prepared for it in the first place.

Just like that, the father and son pair stared at each other in front of Xiu's grave. They stood still where they were as many memories that had been buried deep in their hearts were blown away and awakened once again.

Amongst all the members of Sharp Blades, he was far ahead in all aspects, and everyone held high hopes for him. He was known as the most outstanding member of Sharp Blades since recent years, and in the future, he would be completely promoted to the role of Sharp Blades' instructor, and his future prospects were limitless.

At that time, Zhou Qingshan was young and vigorous, in the prime of his life, but he had committed an unforgivable mistake.

During one of the missions, Zhou Qingshan met his most beloved girl, Ah Xiu, who was also Zhou Guoli's birth mother.

At that time, Zhou Qingshan was only 21 years old.

When the beautiful Ah Xiu appeared in front of Zhou Qingshan for the first time and smiled at him sweetly, his heart was struck hard. It was as if a seed suddenly broke out from the ground, and a firework bloomed in the pitch black night sky. Zhou Qingshan was deeply captivated by his beauty, but he still used his strong willpower to restrain himself.

Later on, Zhou Qingshan came to the great mountain to carry out his mission, but unintentionally bumped into Ah Xiu.

That's how mistakes are made. Zhou Qingshan could not help it. When they parted, he could not tell Ah Xiu where he was going, and only after contacting Ah Xiu did he find out that Ah Xiu was pregnant with his child. It was already nine months old.

Zhou Qingshan had secretly interacted with the outside world and even allowed Ah Xiu to bear the child. This had severely violated the rules and regulations of the army and if he violated it, he would have to be punished accordingly. Zhou Qingshan was well aware of this.

Once the secret was exposed, all of his future and previous efforts would have been for naught. After painstakingly weighing the pros and cons, Zhou Qingshan choosing to hide it, also signified that he had chosen to be a ungrateful man.

Unexpectedly, not long after, a bad news came out. It was that the criminal group he had surrounded and annihilated had a few gangsters who hadn't fallen into his trap. In order to take revenge, he had actually captured a pregnant woman of Mount Daqing. This greatly angered Sharp Blade Group, and the instructor ordered that they must save the hostages at all costs.

When Zhou Qingshan received the news, he volunteered himself. As he was the most outstanding member of Sharp Blades, the organization would naturally give him the chance to contribute.

However, when Zhou Qingshan led his subordinates to Mount Daqing, he went in first and found the position of the thug and Xiu.

The thug had restrained Ah Xiu's throat and threatened Zhou Qingshan to surrender. He also wanted to kill all the members of the Sharp Blades who came to arrest him and take revenge for the comrades who died that year. Otherwise, he would announce to the world that Ah Xiu was his woman, carrying Zhou Qingshan's blade, and the child in his stomach was the fruit of their marriage.

Zhou Qingshan never thought that his enemy would actually know of his secret. He believed that this secret was definitely not leaked by Ah Xiu, and was afraid that his enemy had already been secretly monitoring him for a long time in order to take revenge.

Seeing that his other subordinates were about to catch up, Zhou Qingshan panicked. He was extremely afraid, because once this secret was spread out, his future would be ruined.

Thus, in the nick of time, he made a cruel decision. He personally shot a bullet into his beloved woman, and then shot the thug to death.

Although mistakenly harming hostages also required punishment from the organization, the nature of the punishment was completely different. More importantly, both their reputations would not be harmed.

Maybe this moment of selfishness had covered his true feelings, but when the bullet left his mouth, Zhou Qingshan saw his beloved woman lying soft in a pool of blood, and the heart-wrenching pain and guilt immediately broke him down. Zhou Qingshan's knees went weak, and he fell to the ground.

Just like that, he made one mistake after another. Because he accidentally injured a hostage and got expelled by the organization, he became a big regret in the history of Sharp Blades. The world was vast, and the hostages were the greatest. The orders of the army were like mountains, and they were no exception to him.

Originally, Zhou Qingshan thought that it was just a corpse and two lives. However, he had stolen Ah Xiu's corpse from everyone else.

Looking at this new life, Zhou Qingshan was overjoyed. He named his own son Zhou Guoli, hoping that he could become an unyielding man like the Sharp Bladed Warriors, and become the 'Sharp Bladed of the Nation' for his country and his people.

Although Zhou Qingshan had been expelled from the organization, according to the rules, he had to disappear for 3 years in order to return to his normal life. Thus, he handed Zhou Guoli over to a family with the surname of Zhou, in the rural area of Jiangzhou, so that they could raise their child.

His son was already three years old and he had accepted his son as his disciple. He had often secretly taught Zhou Guoli martial arts and taught all the skills of the Sharp Blade Group members that he knew. This was also the main reason why Zhou Guoli had such strong anti-detection awareness in the future.

Zhou Guoli had been extraordinary since he was young, and his ability to learn was extremely strong. He quickly learned all kinds of skills from his "master", and there was even a tendency for him to surpass his "master" by appearing out of nowhere.

The old couple who raised their son died one after another from illness. Zhou Qingshan took his son to live somewhere else and still addressed him as master and disciple, so he did not recount what happened that year.

He had thought that the truth would never surface, but he had never expected that his son would suddenly disappear when he was in his twenties. He only left behind a letter, stating that they would never meet again.

For more than ten years, Zhou Qingshan had been searching for the location of his son. He now knew that his son hated him because he had learned the truth from Union Of Gentlemen, which was why he had become enemies with his father.

Zhou Qingshan loathed the idea of Union Of Gentlemen. If it were not for the fact that the Union Of Gentlemen was leaked, he would have been able to enjoy the happiness of knowing everything. However, the Union Of Gentlemen was everywhere, it was used to pry into other people's secrets, and then control them.

However, even though Zhou Qingshan hated Union Of Gentlemen, he knew that he did not have the ability to make an enemy out of them. All these years, he had been secretly investigating the Union Of Gentlemen, but he had not gained much in the past dozen years.

A year ago, when Zhao Qingqing was looking for a job, the mysterious Union Of Gentlemen actually called him, asking him to take extra care of Zhao Qingqing. It was only then that Zhou Qingshan found out that Zhao Qingqing was possibly related to the Union Of Gentlemen.

He originally was not willing to be restricted by the Union Of Gentlemen, but Union Of Gentlemen had threatened him with the secret back then. Although Zhou Qingshan was no longer a member of the Sharp Blades, under the same threat, he came to a compromise once again.

Luckily, Zhao Qingqing was indeed a cute and kind girl, she was also willing to help her. Moreover, he planned to follow Zhao Qingqing's line of thinking and continue investigating the Union Of Gentlemen, but Zhao Qingqing seemed to not know anything about it.

In this past one or two years, his son Zhou Guoli's actions had become more and more outrageous, to the point where he began to blatantly challenge sharp blades.

Zhou Qingshan knew that his son's heart was actually not only hating his father, but his entire Sharp Blade Group as well. If it wasn't because of Sharp Blade Group's reputation, then that tragedy wouldn't have happened. Therefore, everything his son Zhou Guoli did, was for the sake of revenge against his father, and also for the sake of revenge.

Right now, it was just as his son had said in his letter. It was already an enemy for him if he said goodbye to his father. Zhou Qingshan did not want to see his son walk on the path of a criminal act, and wanted to personally settle this matter.

"Do you have anything to say about what happened that year?" Zhou Guoli clenched his fists and his voice trembled from anger and resentment.

Zhou Qingshan looked deeply at his son whom he had not seen for a long time, and said in an aged voice: "Son, I know you hate me. For the sake of my reputation, I killed your mother with all my heart, and for all these years, I have always felt guilty.

Disappointment flashed past Zhou Guoli's eyes, he coldly snorted, and his eyes immediately turned sinister, "Hmph, seeking fame, if you can ruthlessly kill your own kin and love, then what right do you have to stop me!? I must give some color to the Sharp Blade Group! "

As Zhou Guoli said this, he turned around to leave, but was stopped by Zhou Qingshan, "Daddy won't let you repeat your mistakes!"

Zhou Guoli raised his hand to block, "You are not worthy!"

Just as the father and son pair were about to fight, a voice suddenly came from behind them, "You two are done!"

The two of them suddenly turned around, only to see that Ye Haochen had finished his last mouthful of inferior tobacco, and was casually walking out, as if he had been here for a long time.
