Fifteen minutes later, Xu Yiyu watched with his own eyes as everyone on the treasure hunting team put their luggage back into their rooms. He heaved a sigh of relief and told Tianlin to go back to his room to rest before he slowly walked towards Minghong's room.

Although Borno has many tourists all year round, early September is not the peak tourist season, so the guest rooms for the more than 9 members of the action team are all on the same floor, and in order to adapt to the actual situation of other tour groups, several members were arranged in deluxe double rooms with two beds.

——Including Xu Yiyu and Xu Cheng.

The overall decoration of this luxurious double room with two beds has a strong Nordic style. The main color of the room, with the wall as the main body, is mint green, which is not very saturated. Although the decoration does not look too new, it is clean and tidy as a whole, and it is interesting. The high-density carpet on the floor further enhances the sound insulation effect between the rooms.

Before Xu Yiyu went to Minghong's room, she left the room card and spare key to her sister Xu Cheng who was packing her luggage in the room.

"You go ahead, Benjia. I'll pack up the things we'll need when we go back into the mountains. If you don't mind, I'll help you sort out the supplies since I'm free anyway. How about that?"

"Okay, I have put very conspicuous labels on each of my suitcases. There is a lot of space in the room, so you can spread them out and take a look. If there is anything you need to take out, just spread it on the bed where I sleep."

Because he didn't know how Minghong and Mingyu were chatting, Xu Yiyu considered that he might have a lot of questions later, so after weighing the pros and cons, he decided not to be polite with Xu Cheng. He handed his suitcase to her with confidence and left.

On the way to Minghong's room, Xu Yiyu roughly planned the action team's itinerary for today in his mind, and his walking speed was not very fast.

Although the actual purpose of the action team was not to enjoy the scenery, Borno Town is a place very close to several famous attractions in Yidali and has convenient transportation. Taking many factors into consideration, she asked the local tour guide Mario to book two nights of accommodation in advance.

Everyone in the treasure hunting team hasn't had lunch since they settled down here. Although skipping a meal wouldn't have much of an impact, after taking a look at the map of Borno, Xu Yiyu still decided to ask for everyone's opinions with Mario to see how to solve the dinner problem later.

Everyone's rooms were on the same floor, so even though Xu Yiyu walked slowly, it didn't take much time for him to reach Minghong's room.

When Xu Yiyu knocked on Minghong's door, the response from inside the room came very quickly.

The person who opened the door was Minghong, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses. When he let Xu Yiyu into the room, she seemed to see that the eyes of this usually expressionless man had some redness.

After Xu Yiyu sat down, he looked between the two brothers whom he hadn't seen for a long time, then glanced at Lin Yi who was also present, and smiled and spread his hands towards them.

"Excuse me, can you tell me what happened now?"

Tongzi had previously sent the previous information of the two brothers to Xu Yiyu. Although he had read these brief and cold texts, the authenticity of the first-hand information was definitely not as high as that stated orally by the two parties involved.

Lin Yi still stood aside with his arms folded, expressionless, keeping a suitable distance from the three people sitting there, and seemed to have no intention of interrupting.

Mingyu and his younger brother Minghong looked at each other, then looked at Xu Yiyu, the benefactor who had tried every means to help him return to China. After a heavy sigh, Mingyu told the whole story.

The story of the two brothers was not long, but Xu Yiyu, who listened carefully, felt a wave of sadness in his heart.

According to the slightly plump Mingyu, his real name is not Mingyu, but Mingyu.

The names of the two brothers of the Ming family originated from an ancient Chinese saying, "Everyone has to die, some are lighter than a feather, some are heavier than Mount Tai."

Mingyu is ten years older than his younger brother Minghong, and Minghong is the son of his parents who was born in their old age. Although they are brothers, because of the huge age difference, Mingyu is actually like both a father and a brother to Minghong.

Both of their parents were very busy with work. After giving birth to Minghong at the risk of a difficult labor, his mother's health was not very good. She later died of illness when he was ten years old.

The brothers' father was a taciturn man. Although he poured all his love into the two of them, he never remarried. He spent most of his time working outside to make a living and rarely had time to accompany them.

Because of this, Mingyu basically took on some of the responsibilities that originally belonged to his parents after his younger brother was born, as he was very sensible.

The year Ming's mother passed away, Mingyu had graduated from university for several years. He had already been working for a few years and helped his father share most of the pressure of making a living. He also became one of the family's financial resources.

Minghong was a very quiet child when he was young. He didn't like to join in the fun in crowded places. Although he liked the toys and cartoons that most children liked, he was introverted and rarely asked his father or brother for gifts. He was also very sensible and never caused them any trouble.

Mingyu joined the Chinese confidentiality organization a few years before coming to Yidali. Due to the confidentiality of his workplace, he did not tell his father, his younger brother Minghong, or his wife who had just become pregnant after being married for just over a year about the specific content of his work. He just said that he had been promoted in his original company and needed to develop abroad.

Then, just as Minghong knew, this elder brother who went abroad to work gradually disappeared without a trace.

When Mingyu came to Yidali, his personal information in China had been changed due to the interference of his work unit. Due to the special nature of intelligence work, the name he used when he came to Yidali was not his original name.

Minghong remembered that after a confused farewell, he never saw Mingyu, who was like a father and brother to him, again when he was still in junior high school. He only received a large transfer from abroad every few months, which was used for his tuition, living expenses and household expenses.

Ming's father retired just a few years after Mingyu went abroad and received a monthly pension of 5000 yuan. However, because Minghong had successfully been admitted to Peking University at that time, he received a full scholarship from the school every year due to his excellent grades. He also worked part-time to earn pocket money in his spare time, so the family did not have much financial pressure.

This time at Yidali, it was the first time the two met after eighteen years.

Mingyu had not informed his younger brother of his previous returns to China. He only spent a few days in his own home with his wife and daughter, and had not visited his younger brother's workplace.

Although he felt very sorry for his younger brother, the nature of his job meant that he could not spend time with his family as freely as he could with other jobs, so he had no choice but to refuse to meet them.

"For a while, I really thought that you were already abroad..."

When Minghong said this calmly, Xu Yiyu could hear him choking up.

Thinking of Minghong, who still uses the photo of the three of them as his phone screensaver, Xu Yiyu felt a dull pain in his heart.

She knew too well the impact that the absence of family members had on a person's childhood.
