No one knows when it began—
But the world was split in two.
Those in the Upper City live in the sunlight, on vast lands, warm and free.
Those in the Lower City survive in a cram...
"You're really good at muddying the waters."
Xia Qing gave a fair evaluation.
Bai Peng was not angry, but smiled innocently instead.
Only then did Xia Qing look at Wen Xiuyuan again.
"So according to you, should I let He Cheng bring the troops back?"
Wen Xiuyuan just said it very frankly.
Now I feel calm instead.
"You're the district chief. You're the one who makes the decisions on this kind of important matter! I'm just a researcher. Talking too much...it's easy to overstep my bounds!"
"hehe."
Xia Qing sneered: "Teacher Wen is really taciturn and saves words like gold!"
Wen Xiuyuan smiled and said, "The District Chief understands me."
"Okay, stop pretending. I think you enjoyed your scolding just now."
Xia Qing waved his hand and then turned serious. "But let's talk about the facts. No matter what, I don't know that Ning Fan, and I don't trust him! If you want me to hand over the F70 area to him, fine! But first... he has to give me peace of mind!"
"Simple."
Wen Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be more reassuring if we let the regional defense forces keep an eye on him?"
Xia Qing raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah! Anyway, the regional defense forces have been squatting in the wild for so many years, and now they just happen to have a place to stay!"
Bai Peng clapped his hands. "If that guy behaves well, we'll let him help us manage Area F70! If he has second thoughts, we'll have the regional defense forces take him down!"
Xia Qing looked around at the two of them.
"Now I know why Wen Xiuyuan brought you here!"
Bai Peng looked clueless: "Why?"
"You sing well, White Face!"
Xia Qing waved her hand: "Alright, everyone, get out! The noise is giving me a headache!"
"Okay!"
Bai Peng stood up.
Wen Xiuyuan also followed Bai Peng.
When he reached the door, he turned around and looked at Xia Qing who was rubbing his temples.
"Xia Qing."
"What else?"
Xia Qing closed her eyes.
"Don't worry, I don't mean to use Lao Bai to force you."
Wen Xiuyuan said softly, "I sincerely think that child... is really good."
