"Thump thump..."
"Co in!"
A man in his thirties, about 175 cm tall with dark skin, ca in holding a teapot, smiling at Luo Ye, "Sister-in-law, I have so top-quality Longjing tea at my place, brewed a pot for you."
Luo Ye was exasperated, "Brother Lin, just call Luo Ye." The visitor was Lin Shengming, the team leader of Island City’s A team, introduced by Ye Xuan during a previous eting.
"Although Colonel Ye is younger than us, in terms of experience and capability, he is our leader, so naturally, you are our sister-in-law." Lin Shengming spoke while pouring tea for Luo Ye and Liu Xing, then looked at Liu Xing with a smile, "Mr. Liu, it’s admirable how soone so young can commit to such righteous deeds!"
Liu Xing smiled faintly, "It’s what should be done."
"What is Mr. Liu’s relationship with Nie Yu?"
"Nie Yu is my little uncle." Liu Xing frowned slightly, "Mr. Lin, may I ask if this is an interrogation or just casual talk?"
Lin Shengming waved his hands quickly: "Just casual talk, casual talk. Sister-in-law ca here to volunteer, and what you did has spared us a lot of trouble. As the leader of Island City, I naturally want to extend hospitality."
Luo Ye’s gaze turned towards Lin Shengming, "Brother Lin, Liu Xing and I are friends, classmates, and family friends. You get on with your work; no need to fuss over us."
"Alright, alright, I’ll leave then." Lin Shengming complied and left.
"This person..."
"Brother Lin is really enthusiastic. Although it’s our first eting, he feels particularly cordial..." Luo Ye interrupted Liu Xing, while praising, and signaled him with her eyes, standing up, "Let’s go out for a walk; this room is too stuffy."
Liu Xing cooperated, "Good, I also feel that way; let’s go out for a walk. It snowed last night, such a rare opportunity."
As they just stepped out, Lin Shengming ca over, "Sister-in-law, are you going out?"
Luo Ye smiled and nodded, "Yes, it’s still early; we’re going out for a walk."
"I’ll find soone to accompany you," Lin Shengming quickly said.
Luo Ye waved her hands repeatedly, "No need, we both are from Island City, if we need soone to accompany us for a simple walk here, that would really be troubleso."
Once they were outside, the smile faded from Liu Xing’s face, "Ye’er, do you suspect..."
"He’s too enthusiastic, it’s always good to be cautious." Luo Ye smiled, "Let’s take this opportunity to enjoy the snow scenery by the seaside, shall we?"
Liu Xing nodded repeatedly, "Couldn’t ask for more."
Due to the de-icing agent, there were only faint traces on the ground. If it were not for the thin layer of snow still pressing on the branches, it would be hard to imagine that there had been a blizzard the day before.
No one around, the sound of stepping on the snowy ground "crunch, crunch" echoed clearly in their ears...
"Liu Xing..."
"Ye’er..."
"You first..."
"You first..."
Both of them laughed at the sa ti, and Luo Ye stretched out her hand, "You go first then."
Liu Xing looked at her seriously, "Ye’er, Chu Jiu is getting engaged, can I attend?"
"Yes, let Auntie co with you, can you persuade her?"
"I’ll talk to mom, she loves Ye’er so much, how could she miss Ye’er’s engagent?" Liu Xing sighed lightly, "And I believe, mom will agree."
This ti coming back, I found Mother had changed a lot. Before, it was hard to see a sincere smile on her face, but now, she has blended in well with the neighbors around us.
I’ll tell you, Mother was even elected as the neighborhood head of our residential area. Although it’s a nominal official position, it represents her being recognized. Seeing her like this, I am genuinely happy."
"Hearing you say that, I feel like I could go visit her. I used to be afraid of stirring her emotions, but I genuinely like Auntie.
Liu Xing, let’s be honest, after Uncle Liu’s incident, it’s probably not possible for there to be no hard feelings between both parties. But to be as magnanimous as Auntie, there might not be many who can do it!"
Liu Xing nodded: "Hard feelings, there definitely were at the beginning, including , I inevitably blad Uncle Luo a bit. But when you really calm down and think it through, you’ll realize the bla was completely unreasonable.
It’s not a fight to the death; should Uncle Luo just wait to be sent to the chopping block by my father? The fault lies with my father taking the wrong path.
But what puzzles the most is that, up to now, no one has co for , or maybe my worries all along were unnecessary?"
Luo Ye thought for a mont: "Let go of the grudge, face whatever cos, if you trust , rember to tell if there’s anything."
"Of course." Liu Xing said unhappily: "How can Ye’er say such a thing? If I didn’t trust you, why would I bring little uncle to you?
Besides it concerning little uncle’s fate, it also involves the credit for the interrogation. If I minded, I would never have handed this credit over to Ye Xuan."
Luo Ye quickly apologized: "Alright, alright, I was wrong, is that okay?"
"What did you want to ask just now?" Liu Xing said.
Luo Ye waved his hand: "Nothing, actually I just wanted you to persuade Aunt Nie to join and Ye Xuan’s engagent ceremony, we can go together."
Liu Xing hesitated for a mont and said, "Ye’er, I’ve decided to apply for Fierce Tiger."
"Great, we will fight side by side then."
...
As Luo Ye and Liu Xing returned, they happened to et Ye Xuan and Nie Yu leaving the eting room, Luo Ye observed carefully, noticing a hint of indescribable relief in their expressions.
Nie Yu smiled at Liu Xing: "Xingxing, little uncle can’t go back with you, please tell your sister, I did as she instructed, and I hope she visits Yao Qian more often."
"I will." Liu Xing hugged him tightly: "We are waiting for you."
After Liang Wuping and another teammate took Nie Yu away, Ye Xuan greeted them: "Co in, I have sothing to tell you."
"Boss, are we having a eting?" Lin Shengming ran over.
"In half an hour." Ye Xuan glanced at him: "I’ll have Wuping notify everyone."
"Yes." Lin Shengming backed down with a sheepish smile.
Closing the door, Ye Xuan turned to Liu Xing: "I’ve already filed the report, you can participate in this operation."
"Operation?" Liu Xing repeated, then nodded imdiately: "Yes!"
"Liu Xing, I must say, you saved Nie Yu’s life." Ye Xuan looked at him seriously: "Ye’er told when you brought Nie Yu to turn himself in, I was puzzled, how could there be such a coincidence in the world.
Now it seems, so things really cannot be asured by regular standards. Originally, we were going to carry out a ’clean-up’ operation tonight, aiming to completely eliminate the Wild Wolf Gang.
Nie Yu, being the leader of Wild Wolf, was naturally a priority. Unexpectedly, a few hours before the operation, such a dramatic change took place.
However, his change of heart doesn’t an we cancel the operation, after all, he was just puppeteered by soone, and to target that person, digging out his roots bit by bit is necessary.
Of course, this operation still carries a bit of risk, whether to participate or not, the final decision is yours."
