Shi Yong is fifty-three years old this year. If his parents were alive, they would be around seventy, which many people find hard to believe from that era.
It is precisely because of this that Shi Yong rarely ntions this matter to anyone.
Because if he were to talk about it, out of ten people, nine would probably be skeptical, wondering if he was making up a story.
But in fact, it was much more rampant back then than it is now, almost everywhere in Western pharmacies, and it was very popular, once treated as a cure-all redy.
And Shi Yong's parents were both doctors. They often publicly exposed the so-called "cure-all redies" on the market as actually being "poisons."
Such actions, although righteous, did cut off so people's financial sources.
As the saying goes, cutting off soone's financial source is like killing their parents.
Especially in that era, the outco can be imagined.
At the re age of ten, having witnessed his parents' tragic deaths, Shi Yong vowed to fight for the rest of his life.
So in his teens, he joined the army, later gave up all benefits, and resolutely chose to join in, becoming one of the first to dance on the blade's edge.
"I will do my utmost with this matter!" Xiao Feng nodded in agreent and said with a smile, "Actually, I always thought that catching them and shooting them imdiately was too easy for those people.
But as lingchi has long been abolished, there's nothing else to do; it can only be said that the era saved them."
Shi Yong said, "Then it's settled. I'll find soone to investigate on my side too. When there's news, we'll notify each other."
"Okay."
Agreed with a nod, Xiao Feng took out a stack of A4 papers from his pocket: "A gift for you."
"Is this a bribe?" Shi Yong's thick eyebrows furrowed, and a clear look of vigilance appeared in his eyes.
Xiao Feng shook his head and chuckled, slapping the papers on the table: "See for yourself first."
Shi Yong suspiciously picked up the papers and started flipping through them. By the seventh page, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and he exclaid, "Isn't this Wang Ermazi?"
"Hmm?" Xiao Feng was montarily stunned and leaned closer for a look.
Indeed, the photo showed a middle-aged man with a pockmarked face, along with so brief personal information.
One part ntioned that he was being hunted by his forr boss Jie Long for embezzling a shipnt.
Xiao Feng felt a bit embarrassed, realizing it was his mistake for not looking closely at the contents earlier. Otherwise, with his mory, he would have imdiately recalled that Liu Ermazi was on the island.
But then again, this was quite a normal thing.
If a person is a loser, they'll still be a loser even with a machine gun. Xiao Feng didn't pay much attention to the people Xue Nuofu investigated.
The ones who could make Xiao Feng take notice would have to be at the level of the instructors at Devil's Concentration Camp or soone like Uesugi Yumi.
Beyond that, characters like Iwakami Shigehiro are entirely unqualified!
"You just said this is my gift; don't tell you've caught all these people?" Shi Yong widened his eyes, appearing sowhat incredulous.
Xiao Feng shook his head in denial: "These people are now on an isolated island thirty miles east of Jiangxin Bridge.
Though they're small fry, the sheer number makes it a significant accomplishnt.
What do you say?
Interested in taking a shot?"
"Do you even need to ask?" Shi Yong slapped his thigh with a know-it-all tone: "We must do it!"
Then, he imdiately started making calls to seek approval from superiors, showing decisive action to the extre.
After getting the approval, Shi Yong appeared very excited: "Agreed, orders will soon be issued to the surrounding ard forces. To ensure nothing goes wrong, local ard forces will also be deployed for assistance."
"This was agreed to so fast?" Xiao Feng seed a bit taken aback: "Won't they investigate the enemy's equipnt and numbers, or see if there are any hostages first?"
Shi Yong glanced at Xiao Feng, sowhat speechless: "The 'small fry' you're talking about are all wanted criminals.
This is such a good opportunity; do you think it could be missed?"
"I see." Xiao Feng nodded in understanding.
After a brief pause, Shi Yong suddenly asked, "By the way... is your intel reliable? If such a large operation ends in a bust, soone will have to take responsibility."
"Don't worry, it's absolutely accurate!" Xiao Feng assured confidently.
After all, the source of the intel was Xue Nuofu, and at worst, he would just point the finger at him; there's no way he'd take the bla.
"That's good then!" Shi Yong felt relieved and was about to start mobilizing forces.
But before leaving, he turned back and added, "One more thing."
Xiao Feng, seemingly knowing beforehand, said, "Are you referring to Zhao Xingfeng?"
"That's right." Shi Yong took a deep breath and said, "In my opinion, personal revenge would be best; blood for blood.
But what I'm worried about is that if he acts impulsively, it might disrupt the entire operation or lead to unforeseen consequences for him personally."
After a mont's silence, Xiao Feng said, "I'll go talk to him. You focus on your duties."
Shi Yong didn't hesitate and readily agreed, starting to plan for the upcoming operation.
Xiao Feng quickly found Zhao Xingfeng.
After not seeing him for so ti, he seed thinner and still had those big dark circles under his eyes, with visible bloodshot eyes.
"I just heard you were here and was planning to have a chat with you."
Upon seeing Xiao Feng, Zhao Xingfeng showed his signature smile, put down his thermos, and asked, "Can you share what's up with our new director looking for you?"
"They wanted to return as a consultant, but I declined," Xiao Feng truthfully replied.
Zhao Xingfeng showed an unsurprised expression and said, "Makes sense. Director Song is at least young and pretty; the new director is much older and can't offer you much, so of course, you wouldn't agree."
Xiao Feng ignored his teasing and said solemnly, "Old Zhao, if I tell you there's a chance now to avenge your wife and daughter..."
Before finishing the sentence, Zhao Xingfeng suddenly stood up: "What did you say?"
He knew Xiao Feng's temperant well enough that he wouldn't joke about such matters, hence his extre reaction.
For a mont, Zhao Xingfeng's breathing beca rapid, his fists clenched and unclenched repeatedly.
After a long ti, he sat back down, took several deep breaths, and said, "As long as I can avenge them, I don't care even if it costs my life!"
Xiao Feng shook his head: "It's not that serious."
He then explained to Zhao Xingfeng in detail about Shi Yong receiving the anonymous letter and how he coincidentally discovered Liu Ermazi's location.
"Liu Ermazi..." Zhao Xingfeng gritted his teeth, his whole body trembling, and said, "I never expected it to be that bastard!"
Xiao Feng patted his shoulder and said, "I guarantee he won't be taken alive."
The implication was clear: this was a death sentence for Liu Ermazi.
However, Zhao Xingfeng shook his head: "Being shot to death is a montary thing, that's too easy for him.
Letting him know his death is imminent and then counting down the ti he has left in fear is the best revenge."
"..." Xiao Feng.
He didn't expect that this man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was also such a tough guy!
