"I was reckless many tis in my youth and got into trouble with my superiors, and it was always Feng Lei who helped sort it out without letting the old man find out."
"Hmm."
Mu Wan quietly nestled in Qin Mu’s arms, imrsed in the mories with the man.
It’s almost imaginable, the deep brotherhood among the three of them.
"At that ti, we were all searching for Old K because he was the biggest drug lord in Southeast Asia, of course, which was actually Feng Jun. However, for so reason, every ti the military district received insider information and planned to carry out a mission, Old K always managed to escape without a trace. As it happened more often, there was widespread anxiety in the military, and the most suspicion fell on the possibility of an insider spy."
"Later, Officer Liu, to avoid this situation, only inford a few people within the military district. I was one of them, along with Feng Lei, Feng Jun, and a few others. The next day when it was ti to carry out the mission, I went to check Brother Feng Lei’s weapons, because before every mission, my favorite thing to do was to check the gear for Feng Lei and Feng Lie, just to... ensure each other’s absolute safety."
Mu Wan: "..."
The story was reaching its climax, and Mu Wan held her breath, listening to the man’s words and nodding slightly.
"And then?"
"Then, when I walked up to Brother Feng Lei’s room, I heard him on the phone. At that ti, to ensure the mission stayed secret, everyone was required to hand in their phones. Initially, I thought about teasing Brother Feng Lei, mocking him for not knowing such a basic rule even as the boss. But soon, I realized sothing was off."
Mu Wan’s heart inexplicably skipped a beat, waiting for the man to continue speaking.
"Feng Lei was speaking on the phone, revealing the ti, location, and participants of the mission the next day... Only then did I realize he was the insider spy! Until he called the person on the other end ’Dad,’ I realized the gravity of the situation even more."
Mu Wan: "..."
So, it really was ironic.
Feng Lei had been working for Feng Jun all along.
"At that mont... I was so furious, I almost wanted to rush up and slap Feng Lei twice across the ears, my whole body trembling with anger. In the end, I couldn’t resist going up to reprimand him, questioning why he did it."
"In the end, the answer was obviously money... People are truly blinded by greed, their hearts darken, and they are desperately eager to obtain everything they never had. Then, greed knows no limit, always wanting more and more."
"Feng Jun used his position’s convenience to act as Old K himself. He transported goods from Old K, allowing himself to intercept them smoothly, thus becoming the so-called anti-drug hero. Then, as if passed down from father to son, Feng Lei also joined Feng Jun in this line of work. Because of Feng Lie’s rigid nature and Feng Jun and Feng Lei wanting to protect him, they never let him get involved."
Mu Wan: "..."
Understood.
Mu Wan’s inside was filled with irrepressible shock. Maybe it was because she never thought that the truth behind it was so bloody and cruel.
Listening to Qin Mu recounting the story, although his words were calm, one could feel the tumultuous waves in Qin Mu’s heart deep down.
Qin Mu gazed at the woman in his arms and hoarsely said, "At that ti... Feng Lei and I had a fierce argunt that everyone in the military district knew about. This has been the issue confronting from Feng Lie over the years."
Mu Wan nodded and listened to the man’s words, softly saying, "So, what happened in the end."
"In the end, Brother Feng Lei knelt in front of , begging to grant him a completion, to let make a mistake on purpose and take his life, as an explanation to Team A. Over the years, he initially started to protect Feng Jun and gradually walked down this road of no return. After all, you couldn’t stand by and watch your father being a drug kingpin and willingly go to capture him, could you? At first, he leaked information, and later, it turned into informing."
"He also wanted to use this secret to threaten Feng Jun, to make the man stop completely. Otherwise, I would reveal this secret to the world. As a mber of the Qin Family, this held so deterrence."
"Hmm, the most important thing, of course, was to protect Feng Lie, because from beginning to end, Feng Lie never knew his father and older brother were drug lords. His purpose of joining the army was rely for the convenience afforded by his position. For so many years, I didn’t tell Feng Lie for this reason, because reality was too cruel for him to accept. Countless brothers died at the hands of Old K over the years."
Mu Wan: "..."
It’s truly tragic.
Mu Wan felt an inexplicable desolation in her heart, listening to Qin Mu’s words and not knowing what to say.
Qin Mu wore a bitter smile at the corners of his mouth and said hoarsely, "Hmm, because I let Feng Jun go, I felt extrely guilty, so there was no way I could stay in Team A any longer. So, I voluntarily resigned and left, putting an end to the matter, and Feng Jun didn’t stir trouble anymore."
Mu Wan: "..."
However, Feng Lie had misunderstood Qin Mu for many years.
The comrades from the past had also misunderstood Qin Mu for so many years.
Mu Wan felt heartfelt pity for the man in front of her, reaching out her small hand to gently embrace the man’s shoulders, speaking in a hoarse voice.
"Qin Mu, you’re really an enormous fool... do you even know that yourself?"
"Hmm, I know! But if you still like this fool so much, then aren’t you the biggest fool in the world, Mu Wan?"
Mu Wan couldn’t help but lift the corners of her mouth and laugh softly because of the man’s words. However, what followed was heartache-filled tears welling up in her eyes.
