Fu Jingsheng looked at Song Yi’s expression. She was shocked, shaken, incredulous.
Fu Jingsheng raised an eyebrow slightly: "You didn’t know all of this and yet you dated him?"
"Yes, all of it, so after that, the squad was no more." Fu Jingsheng said, "That wasn’t Tang Si’s responsibility. It was an inherently dangerous mission, sacrifices were inevitable. Later, there were rumors that on that occasion, soone in the squad leaked information."
"A leader whose entire team was sacrificed—it’s a devastating blow." Fu Jingsheng said, "From a psychological standpoint, it leaves a trauma. Generally, one would lose the ability to lead again because so many lives were sacrificed rely due to wrong intelligence. For the leader, no matter what, the responsibility weighs on them."
"Who, if put in the sa position, could step out of the shadows, lead again, or remain in this line of work?"
"Moreover, Sister Yi, that ti, only Tang Si was left." Fu Jingsheng tapped the table, eyes fixed on Song Yi as if emphasizing, "Who do you think people outside would believe was the mole?"
Hearing these words, these past events, Song Yi felt her heart frozen with an icy chill.
"He couldn’t have," Song Yi clenched tightly, her knuckles turning red.
Fu Jingsheng smiled, his gaze falling on Song Yi’s hand: "With such little strength, you can’t break this cup."
He reached out, snatched the coffee cup from Song Yi, and holding it in his hand, squeezed with force.
"Crack—" the cup shattered instantly.
Coffee trickled down Fu Jingsheng’s hand, and he curled his lips into a rebellious smile, his eyes on Song Yi: "Yeah, he isn’t an undercover agent. The results of the upper-level investigation ca out, proving he wasn’t. That’s why he could continue working in this field."
"But those who knew of this incident did not think so." Fu Jingsheng discarded the cup fragnts, carefully wiping his hands with a tissue: "So, as long as Tang Si stays in this industry, wherever he goes, there will always be exclusion. If not openly, then certainly in secret."
"The better he excels in this field, the greater the ostracism he faces. Righteous people always believe he was the mastermind behind that incident, especially since so many teammates sacrificed their lives, their families mostly also work in the industry."
Fu Jingsheng’s pupils shimred with amusent, the more he spoke, the more thrill he felt.
These matters pierced his heart like a sharp knife.
Youngsters don’t possess a settled temperant; the more provoked, the hotter their blood boils.
He sneered, curling his lips, revealing a hint of disdain in his eyes: "Have you noticed how humans are? No matter how much a person has contributed before, how many tis they nearly sacrificed themselves on the battlefield—as long as they have a small flaw, all of their past contributions, saving millions, beco illusions, while the flaw is infinitely magnified."
Fu Jingsheng chuckled lightly, a sneer in his voice: "Ridiculously human."
At this mont, Song Yi’s expression was sowhat dazed, these words pricked her heart like dense needles.
She couldn’t imagine how desperate and dark such situations could be.
Fu Jingsheng looked at Song Yi’s appearance: "Sister Yi, perhaps you’ve really found a good man. See if he truly loves you."
Slowly, Song Yi raised her head, her eyes slightly red, her lips moved to speak, but several tis her throat tightened and felt parched, unable to utter a word.
She felt heartache for Tang Si’s experiences, hatred for those who judged him unjustly, yet she was powerless, there was nothing she could do, no matter how much resentnt or anger she felt.
Tang Si already carried so much, yet people still treated him that way.
She sowhat understood why Tang Si’s parents were unkind to him. Perhaps it was due to this matter, but that might be just one reason. It was clear, it wasn’t a fallout during his upbringing, it was a bad relationship from childhood.
Facing such conditions and experiences, Song Yi had one feeling in her heart: there was no step up, and no bottom when falling downward.
Tang Si, living in such a dark abyss, didn’t fall, didn’t turn into a ss, nor did he give up.
Under the pressure of over a dozen unjust lives, with everyone looking at him with tinted lenses, excluding him, he never gave in, but strived to live on.
Striving to give this world light, with all the ability he had, offering anything he could.
Never because others called him a piece of mud or a stream of sewage did he allow himself to fall and rot.
The more Song Yi thought, the more stifled her heart felt.
Such matters are truly not sothing everyone could withstand.
The voices of the outside world can shape an individual, almost everyone lives within its constructs, continuously receiving psychological cues from others, until they accept those cues and gradually beco such a person.
But Tang Si rejected all these cues; he had his own opinions, living brightly and beautifully in his own way.
In the end, Song Yi trembled as she reached for the glass of water, took a sip, and choked on it twice.
Fu Jingsheng patted her back, saying nothing.
After drinking the water, she felt her tightened and dry throat relax a bit, letting out a hoarse voice: "So why did you return this ti?"
Fu Jingsheng sat back on the sofa, hands rested behind his head, his tone relaxed: "You might not believe it if I tell you, but Tang Si is my idol. If I went through those experiences, I wouldn’t have the courage to carry on this far under such pressure."
"Even if I survived, I couldn’t continue in this field, because it requires imnse stress tolerance and psychological quality."
"Everyone thought that undefeated god of war had fallen, would never bounce back, or might commit suicide. Although he did indeed attempt once, openly attempting suicide once by jumping off a building, whether there were more under the surface, I don’t know."
Fu Jingsheng furrowed his brows as he spoke, then said, "He gives the feeling that..."
"Born into darkness, crawling out of it, but never succumbing to it."
"So, Sister Yi, I wanted to see him." Fu Jingsheng’s tone beca more serious: "There wasn’t an opportunity before."
"I even thought, what kind of case do I need to commit in Ning City to land in his hands?" Fu Jingsheng said lightly.
"Crazy."
"There’s so truth to that. Tang Si can either be my friend or my foe, but it feels like too much of a loss to be enemies."
Fu Jingsheng laughed: "Mainly because I’m a law-abiding citizen. Committing a case serious enough for him to handle would be a loss for . I don’t want to end up in the slamr."
"He doesn’t work on cases, and is rather aloof, never interacting closely with others. I had no way to arrange a eting with him. So, when I saw your post on social dia, I dealt with things over there quickly and flew back without delay."
