After leaving the small courtyard, it wasn't long before Xiao Feng saw the man walking out like a walking corpse.
To be honest, at this mont, he didn't feel any sense of schadenfreude.
Although the man was Bai Huanyu's man, and even though sothing happened, in theory, he should be happy.
But Xiao Feng truly didn't feel any joy, as if he intended to see the man embarrass himself, but ended up witnessing his funeral.
Moreover, he didn't think the man was very cowardly, or any less of a man.
A commoner's rage can spill blood for seven feet.
White blade in, red blade out, it's certainly a swift act of vengeance.
Yet often, for adults who have established families and careers, living is easy, dying is hard.
Just like the man at this mont, he did wield a knife, but in the end, when Bai Tieniu threatened him using his daughter, he still "chickened out."
"Old Cui." The man saw Xiao Feng approaching with a flashlight from the opposite direction and greeted him with difficulty.
Xiao Feng froze for a mont, then rembered he was wearing Cui Liangjin's face, and replied, "What's up?"
Saying this, he pointed the flashlight over, only to see the man's face covered in snot and tears.
The man frowned, turned his head to the side, blocked the light with his hand, and murmured, "Got any booze?"
"I'm patrolling right now, how can I drink?" Xiao Feng replied offhandedly.
The man unzipped his jacket, reached into the inner pocket, fumbled around, and pulled out two hundred-yuan bills, saying, "I'll pay."
"I really didn't bring any alcohol…" Xiao Feng intended to show his empty pockets, but when he reached in, he actually found a bottle of white liquor, flat-packaged, half a kilogram.
The man smiled, took the liquor, and handed over the cash by the way.
"It's just a bottle of liquor, don't need to charge for it, no need, no need." Xiao Feng said generously.
Usually, he would have accepted it, but not this ti.
However, the man forcefully shoved the money into Xiao Feng's pocket, unscrewed the cap, and chugged down over half the bottle.
"Will you keep company for a chat?"
Xiao Feng looked around and nodded, "Let's move, this spot's too open, we'll be in trouble if anyone sees us here."
The man nodded in agreent.
The two left the vicinity of Bai Huanyu's courtyard and walked to a relatively secluded spot behind a rockery before stopping.
The man took another swig, sat on the cold ground without concern, lit a cigarette, and said, "Old Cui, do you know what's the biggest mistake I've made in my life, , Miao Zhihui?"
Xiao Feng shook his head, inwardly relieved because now he wouldn't worry about revealing not knowing the man's na.
Of course, with Miao Zhihui's current attitude towards the Bai Family, knowing he was Xiao Feng probably wouldn't even make him report, he might even kneel and beg him to slaughter Bai Huanyu and his son.
Miao Zhihui continued speaking to himself, "It was joining the Bai Family, diligently working for them, only for it to…"
He got stuck here, apparently unable to continue, took the bottle again, and finished what's left.
Xiao Feng only patted his shoulder, said nothing, unsure what to say.
Clearly, Miao Zhihui wasn't holding his liquor well, or maybe misery loves company, drink doesn't ease the burden, it often magnifies.
He drunkenly continued, "Old Cui, I'm quitting tomorrow. Guess what I plan to do?"
Xiao Feng shook his head: "No idea."
"Let tell you, don't tell anyone, absolutely."
"I promise!"
Miao Zhihui bit on his cigarette harshly, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to find Xiao Feng."
Xiao Feng was stunned: "???"
Dear lord, why look for ?
Miao Zhihui saw Xiao Feng's reaction, smiled, "Surprised, hey?
But, you heard right, I'm aiming to find Xiao Feng."
"You know Xiao Feng?"
Xiao Feng initially wanted to ask, "What do you want from Xiao Feng?"
But he figured asking this way wouldn't yield an answer, so he went around it.
Unexpectedly, Miao Zhihui nodded, "Know him."
Xiao Feng's eyes subtly changed, scrutinizing the man anew, but couldn't recall any dealings between them.
While puzzled, Miao Zhihui added, "You've been on night shift, hence you don't know. Xiao Feng ca twice before, last ti he beat up Bai Yongge.
Even if you haven't seen it, you must've heard."
"Heard a bit," Xiao Feng's eyes lit with realization, understood Miao Zhihui's motive.
Essentially, knowing revenge was hopeless alone, seeking to borrow his hands to vent frustration.
If that's the case…
"Are you drunk?" Xiao Feng asked.
Miao Zhihui shook his head, smiled bitterly, "I just want to be drunk, preferably never wake."
Xiao Feng took out a carried Antitoxic Pill, without hesitation pushed it into Miao Zhihui's mouth.
Antitoxic Pills work wonders even for sobering up, especially for just half-a-kilo drunkness, no problem sobering him up.
"Ugh…"
Miao Zhihui struggled, pried Xiao Feng's hand off, clutched his throat ready to vomit but couldn't, panic blurted, "What did you feed ?"
Xiao Feng smiled: "You ca to —oh no—you went to Xiao Feng, surely to ask for vengeance assistance, right?"
Miao Zhihui froze, frowned, "So what?
You want to run to Bai Huanyu to tattle, then claim a reward?"
"What if I told you, I am Xiao Feng?"
"Stop joking, you…"
Miao Zhihui's words halted, wide-eyed, watched the plain face transform into a handso young man's face.
That face, recognizable, exactly Xiao Feng's likeness.
"You, you…"
Xiao Feng patted his shoulder, chuckled lightly, "Don't be surprised, if you want revenge, follow my instructions, and I promise satisfaction."
"Slap!"
Miao Zhihui fiercely slapped himself, sound echoed, with clear imprint proving strength wasn't stingy.
Xiao Feng's mouth twitched twice, internally noted Miao's ruthlessness, even self-punishnt doesn't relent.
After confirming reality with a slap, Miao Zhihui grimaced, "You say, if revenge possible, I'll follow your lead!"
Xiao Feng waited for just this, beckoned the ear closer, whispered instructions.
Miao Zhihui nodded repeatedly, hearing till end, knelt for thanks.
Xiao Feng quickly supported him, "Get it done correctly.
Also, rember, once successful, imdiately relocate far from Li Jiang City, rent a car, no ticket buying.
If want to return to Jiangcheng, watch Jiangcheng news, when Bai Family declared bankrupt, then coback."
