Reborn Soul: Me and My Family

Ouyang Bai's heart was full of self-blame and regret at this moment. He asked himself in his heart if he was very selfish. His family had always supported his dreams, and he had been pursuing them on this path. His parents' love for him was selfless, but he seemed to take it for granted to enjoy their kindness and had never done anything for his family.

I have never thought about this question. If I hadn't made this call today and Aunt Luo had let it slip, I'm afraid I would never have known about this matter! Thinking of this possibility, Ouyang Bo's face suddenly became particularly ugly. Do you regret the hardships you have suffered in the army over the years? Of course, I don't regret it, because this is my belief and the direction I am moving forward.

But he felt guilty towards his family. His parents raised him, but he had never done anything for them. He was not around when his family needed him the most. Today, Ouyang Bai took a day off for the first time. This was the first time he had taken a leave in all his years of military service except for the leave for visiting relatives. He did not go anywhere and just locked himself in the dormitory thinking for the whole day.

Gu Yueze hadn't seen Ouyang Bai at the training ground all day, and he thought it was strange so he went to ask around. He heard that Captain Ouyang had asked for leave because he was not feeling well. Gu Yueze and Ouyang Bai had entered the barracks together, and he had never seen him ask for leave in all these years. After the training, he even went to get Ouyang Bai a meal, but he knocked on the door for a long time but no one came to open it for him.

He thought he had gone out, so he took the food back to his dormitory. At 5: in the afternoon, the door of Ouyang Bo's dormitory was opened. Gu Yueze, who had just finished one meal, was thinking about where to go for the other meal when he heard the door next door open. He thought it was Ouyang Bo who came back, so he quickly walked to the door and opened it.

Seeing that Ouyang Bai was walking out of the dormitory and closing the door, he felt strange and said in surprise: "Ouyang, why didn't you open the door just now? I made you a meal by the way, do you want... "Gu Yueze felt that his friend's mood was a little wrong, and saw the dried blood on the back of his hand, and immediately changed the subject: "Why do you look so ugly, are you feeling unwell?"

Ouyang Bo, who had not spoken or eaten for the whole day, said in a hoarse voice: "Old Gu, I'm fine, I just want to be quiet. I have no appetite now. You can prepare the meal! I told my family that I will call later, so I'm leaving first." Gu Yueze was still a little worried when watching his friend's back. He had known Ouyang for so long and had never seen such emotions on his face. Even when they were on a mission and their lives were hanging by a thread, Ouyang had never been like this.

Seeing his friend like this, Gu Yueze was really a little worried, so he locked the door and followed him out. Ouyang Bai was thinking about something the whole way. He was usually very vigilant, but today he didn't notice that there was someone following him. Seeing that his friend went into the communication room, Gu Yueze felt relieved.

He did not disturb him but stood at the door of the communication room, waiting for him to come out. Gu Yueze sat and waited for a long time but did not receive a call from home. The staff on duty saw that he had something to do and left the key of the office with him, telling him to lock the door when he left. Ouyang Bai just nodded, sat there upright, and did not speak.

Gu Yueze, who had been waiting outside the communication room, saw the communicator Xiao Zhou coming out, and immediately went up to him and asked, "Xiao Zhou, are you off work? Why hasn't Captain Ouyang come out yet?" The communicator Xiao Zhou saluted Gu Yueze and then said, "Reporting to Captain Gu, Captain Ouyang is still waiting for a call." While waiting at the door, Gu Yueze had been wondering if his friend had encountered something today, so he asked again, "Who was on duty this morning? Did Ouyang come to call?"

Xiao Zhou said, "It's not my turn on duty this morning, but it's marked in the log book that Captain Ouyang will come over and wait for a call, asking me not to close the door so early. I don't know anything else." Gu Yueze knew that as a communicator he also had his responsibilities, and he would never reveal a word that shouldn't be said. "Okay, then I get it, you go and get busy!" Gu Yueze said, and Xiao Zhou saluted and left.

Gu Yue was waiting outside the door while Ouyang Bai was sitting inside. Ding ding ding... ding... the second the phone rang, he picked it up. Ouyang's father's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello comrade, I'm looking for Ouyang Zhou."

Ouyang Zhou immediately said, "Dad, it's me. How is my family doing recently?" When Ouyang Zhen returned to the office, Luo Qinxiang apologized to him after telling him about the phone call: "I'm so sorry, Ouyang. A-Bo called you and I let something slip in front of him. He asked me about it, and I saw that he was very worried, so I told him everything that happened at your home. He even said that he would wait for your call at night, no matter how late it was. I'm so sorry."

Ouyang Zhen didn't say anything and just replied, "It's okay. He is a member of this family, and he should know." Seeing that her husband didn't say anything, Zhou Ma grabbed the phone and said hurriedly, "Is it A-Bo? You also heard what your aunt Luo said. We thought you were busy with your usual training, but fortunately, it's all over. Telling you would just make you anxious, right!"

Ouyang Bo naturally heard the comfort in his mother's tone. Ouyang Bo said, "Mom, I am also a member of the family. I have the right and should know what happened at home, right? Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't lose my temper on purpose. I was just very angry about so many things happening at home, and I still heard about it from other people."

Mother Zhou: "Abai, it's not that we don't want to tell you. It's okay for us to tell you. I just thought that you might be on a mission in the army at any time. I don't want you to be thinking about home when you are on a mission outside. I just want you to come back safely, understand? Mom and Dad will take care of these things. You have to trust us?"

"Mom, I know you're worried about me for my own good, but I hope I can learn about family matters from you in the future, okay?"

"Okay, from now on, even if I'm in the army, I'll tell you everything about my family. Don't think I'm annoying then. I hope you didn't get hurt this time! You have to be careful when you're out there, okay? Come back more often when you have vacation time. Everyone at home misses you very much."

"I know you guys need to take good care of your health, so please tell me more about family matters when you write to me in the future. Mom, let dad answer the phone call. Aunt Luo didn't explain in detail, so let dad tell me what happened?"

Hearing this, Zhou Guilan reluctantly handed the receiver to her husband. The call was particularly loud at this time, so Ouyang Zhen, who was standing next to her, naturally heard it. He took the receiver and said in a low voice, "A-Bo's matter is a long story, so I will just pick out the key points... I don't know why every time we almost have a clue, it just breaks down. I have been observing those two people, but I can't find any flaws."

Ouyang Zhen directly told his son some things that others did not know, and also told his son his suspicions: "The human trafficker who was responsible for the connection also ran away, and the one who was arrested knew nothing. Now there is no clue at all. Who knows what tricks that person will use next time."

After listening to his father's narration, Ouyang Bai also felt that this matter was not simple. It seemed that there was an invisible big hand controlling the development of the matter. There were three people competing for the position of factory director, so why did they target his family? This matter was unacceptable no matter how you explained it.
