In the dimly lit office, Jing Yan felt extremely thirsty and immediately stood up and walked towards the water dispenser next to him. But when he turned around, he suddenly saw five or six pale faces looking at him from the window.
Jing Yan was so scared that goose bumps appeared all over his body and he turned around and was about to run.
The person floating outside the window rushed in, grabbed Jing Yan's neck with a ferocious expression, and shouted loudly, but he could hear nothing.
Jing Yan felt like he was about to suffocate. He struggled with his eyes bulging, but his hands were powerless. Just when he was about to be strangled to death, he saw the figure of Zhao Weihu appearing outside the window. The latter looked at him with gloomy eyes, motionless.
"flap!!"
In a bedroom, Jing Yan suddenly sat up, sweating all over. After he realized that he was dreaming, he instinctively glanced at the window with drawn curtains. Seeing that there was nothing unusual there, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"call!"
Jing Yan let out a long breath, lowered his head, buried his cheeks in his hands, and wiped the sweat off his face vigorously.
After sitting on the bed for a long time, Jing Yan's emotions still did not calm down, and he even had trouble falling asleep, so he picked up his phone and dialed a number: "Hello, call Xiaoying over, um, you go pick her up...!"
After finishing the call, Jing Yan lay on his back on the bed, looking at the ceiling with a gloomy look.
…
Inside the Casaro Military Base.
After Su Tianyu participated in the hostage exchange, he did not leave immediately because the Chi Army held a celebration banquet to celebrate the successful implementation of the Longcheng incident and the rescue of important personnel from the Chi Army's financial side.
But this kind of celebration banquet actually serves to boost the morale of the people below, because objectively speaking, although Zhao Weihu achieved his goal during his trip to Longcheng, he also paid a great price. It can be considered a miserable victory and does not meet the standards for holding a celebration banquet at all. However, it still has to be done for the sake of face.
At the celebration banquet, Su Tianyu drank some wine. His minor burns had almost healed and he had stopped taking the medicine yesterday, so a couple of drinks was not a big deal. In addition, many people from Chijun came over to toast him and express their gratitude.
In the dining hall, when Su Tianyu was bragging to Liu Mang and others, a soldier suddenly came over and patted him on the shoulder: "Mr. Su, the commander is calling you!"
Su Tianyu immediately stood up: "Where is it?"
"He's outside, come with me!"
"Okay!" Su Tianyu responded, and immediately followed the soldiers out of the hall, went out from the back door, and came to the large field behind the yard.
Zhao Weihu also drank, but not much. He was standing in the moonlight, smoking a cigarette and taking a walk.
Su Tianyu chased after him and asked with a smile: "Commander, you called me?"
"Yeah, just chatting." Zhao Weihu replied with his hands behind his back.
"Ah!" Su Tianyu followed Zhao Weihu's left side and moved forward, while the guards behind him automatically dispersed and stood guard around.
The lawn in the backyard was covered with dew and the temperature was slightly low. Su Tianyu followed Zhao Weihu and took two steps, and he felt his sneakers were soaked.
Zhao Weihu was a heavy smoker. He finished smoking one cigarette and then lit up another: "There's something I'm actually quite curious about. Yu Jinrong is gone, so why do you kids still want to set up this association? Is it just to make money? But as for Yu Mingyuan's family, he shouldn't be very short of money."
Su Tianyu was silent for a while: "Brother Yuan continued to do it because he was dissatisfied. We continued to do it because we were dissatisfied."
Zhao Weihu thought this statement was quite interesting, so he turned to look at Su Tianyu and asked, "Why are you dissatisfied?"
"Brother Yuan must be unhappy about losing his father. Uncle Yu had ambitions for a political career, but he was killed by a villain. Brother Yuan doesn't want to run back to District 1 in disgrace, so he has to continue working." Su Tianyu looked up at the night sky, paused for a moment, and continued, "And I... am also unhappy."
"What are you dissatisfied with?"
"I don't accept it. I shed blood and fought hard on the battlefield of independence, but when I came back, I got a stain that will never allow me to be hired by the government!" Su Tianyu looked ahead and replied in a hoarse voice, "I don't accept it either. My father fought in the south and the north for so many years and spent the first half of his youth and energy on the Chinese Expeditionary Force. In the end, he was executed by his own people for supporting the political independence of Longcheng. I don't accept it even more. My mother was such an honest and decent person, but she died of depression... I have a grudge in my heart, so I want to make a name for myself, I want to stand up, it's that simple."
Zhao Weihu looked at him in surprise: "Are your parents also soldiers?"
"My mother is not a soldier. She studies medical science. But my father is a soldier. He is a colonel and staff officer of the Third Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the old Nanhu Corps." Su Tianyu answered truthfully.
"The Third Army..." Zhao Weihu paused for a moment. "This unit was originally the most elite unit of the Nanhu Corps. It was formerly the 63rd Army, the trump card in Li Bokang's hand!"
"The ace is of no use. Because of Zhou Xingli's stubbornness and his decision to focus on internal strife, the 63rd Army was crushed on the Yemen battlefield. After Li Bokang's death, it was reorganized again." Su Tianyu replied with a sigh.
Zhao Weihu nodded slowly, and commented with his hands behind his back: "Your dissatisfaction is quite interesting! I am also dissatisfied, otherwise I would not come to Casaro and Sinaloa to engage in armed struggle."
"Commander, if I hadn't had a big family, I would probably do the same as you." Su Tianyu said with bright eyes: "Born in troubled times, kings, princes, generals and ministers, how can they be born with different races!"
This sentence went straight to Zhao Weihu's heart. He looked at Su Tianyu, raised his eyebrows and replied, "You are right! Young people like you who have ambitions in their hearts should not go with the flow and let others do whatever they want! Although I joined the army earlier than your father, I have also experienced a lot of things. I know better than anyone how difficult it is for us Chinese who have drifted overseas to get to where we are today! We fought in the civil war and were accused of betraying our nation, and we will never be able to get rid of this in our lifetime. In the Battle of Yemen, countless people were killed and wounded. In the War of Independence, our compatriots fell in the artillery fire, but in the end we didn't know who they were fighting for... The political environment in Longcheng is complicated, and corruption is rampant in the departments in charge. If this continues... All our previous battles have been in vain."
"right!"
"It's right to set up an association. It can unite people and unite their will." Zhao Weihu looked at Su Tianyu happily: "You kids are unwilling to obey and have a stubborn spirit. I think you can accomplish something."
"Try your best. How far you can get depends on fate!" Su Tianyu said with emotion.
"As a person, I always keep my word!" Zhao Weihu looked at Su Tianyu and said word by word: "In the Supervisory Committee Building, you gave me the news and indirectly saved three hundred of us, but I didn't touch Jing Yan and Gu Baishun! This is unacceptable. Let me owe you a favor, and I will pay you back when you need it!"
Su Tianyu stole a glance at Zhao Weihu, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "Commander, by the time you return this favor to me, I don't know if our Tongji Club will still exist. The promise is too far away, and I'm afraid I won't be able to wait!"
"So what do you mean?!"
"I think we should not wait for you to repay my favor." Su Tianyu stepped forward and said with a smile: "If you think highly of me, I will recognize you as my elder brother, and we should not talk about favors. It is only right for brothers to help their elder brothers, isn't it?"
"… Fuck!" Zhao Weihu was speechless.
