The tacit understanding between the two had been cultivated long ago, and now they understood each other's meaning with just a few words. Xiao Yi's dark side, Fan Zun's cunning. Once they set their sights on someone, they would either kill them or be skinned alive.
The tablet was playing the classic film "A Better Tomorrow," a fittingly apt film. A poignant, heart-wrenching, and righteous epic of violence and beauty. The two of them stared intently at the screen, their thoughts simultaneously drifting off into the distance.
The next day, Xiao Yi packed up and took out a small can of chili oil and a small bag of 5 kg flour from the space. He decided to go see his old friend. When he reached the 17th floor, the guard at the gate was even more cordial to him. The road was smooth and Xiao Yi arrived at the door of Huang Xiongwei's office. He knocked on the door and heard Huang Xiongwei's deep voice from inside: "Come in."
When Xiao Yi pushed the door open, he saw Huang Xiongwei still wrapped in his big cotton-padded jacket, looking at the base's floor plan while writing something furiously. He didn't even look up until Xiao Yi approached.
Huang Xiongwei was currently studying the base's floor plan, revising patrol deployments and personnel distribution. When the visitor knocked on the door and approached, no one spoke. Huang Xiongwei assumed it was one of his men coming to report back, to make a routine report for the day, so he simply kept silent. After waiting for nearly two minutes, the visitor still remained silent. Only then did Huang Xiongwei reluctantly tear his eyes away from the floor plan. Upon seeing the visitor, his brow, which had been furrowed in thought just a moment ago, instantly blossomed like a brilliant flower.
"Why are you here, kid? Come on, sit down." Huang Xiongwei's voice was full of joy. He quickly stood up and invited Xiao Yi to sit on a chair beside him. Xiao Yi didn't hesitate and responded with a smile and sat down: "I came to see you. After all, this is my base camp."
Huang Xiongwei couldn't hide the smile on his face. Heroes like Xiao Yi, who were "unconventional," were usually arrogant, cold, and extremely selfish. But Xiao Yi was different. Perhaps Xiao Yi could only be described as "calm." Yet, he still had a human heart.
"You're always welcome at the base camp. Why don't you want to stay at the Supernatural Research Institute anymore?"
Xiao Yi: "Hahaha, isn't it the same fighting and killing when I come back? It's the same everywhere."
Huang Xiongwei: "Slippery, tell me, there is no such thing as a visitor without a reason. You must have something to worry about."
Xiao Yi naturally stopped hiding his feelings after hearing Huang Xiongwei's words, but his tone became more serious: "Feng Tian, do you know this person?" Huang Xiongwei felt that the name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before, so he shook his head and said: "No, I don't know him? Is he from the base?"
Xiao Yi nodded: "Yes, he has an older brother who is also in the base. The Finance Department. But you also know that I am the type of person who doesn't pay attention to what is happening outside the window, so I would like to ask you for a favor and ask about his situation."
Huang Xiongwei has always felt that he owes Xiao Yi a lot. He was afraid that Xiao Yi would become the "executioner" of those politicians fighting for power, so he wanted to help Xiao Yi win the hearts of the people early on, but Xiao Yi didn't want to, so he had to give up. It was rare for Xiao Yi to make a request, so naturally there was no one to refuse. Huang Xiongwei slapped his thigh excitedly and said in a firm voice: "Okay, no problem. Not to mention figuring out a person. Even if I kill him, it's okay. Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter."
Xiao Yi smiled and waved his hand: "No need, actually I want to ask you a question."
Huang Xiongwei waved his hand, looking very relaxed and happy: "Go ahead, we are here for a relationship, why would you ask? Just tell me directly."
Xiao Yi suddenly changed the subject, his voice serious and cautious: "When I came here, I saw the guards on duty still wearing the animal skins we had sewn on the road. Why didn't the base distribute new cold-weather supplies?"
Huang Xiongwei's excited expression suddenly became serious as he waited for Xiao Yi's next words.
"Does it feel good to have your fate in someone else's hands? My brothers followed you and ate coarse food because you ate coarse food too. But what about now? Do you want to continue like this???"
Huang Xiongwei listened to Xiao Yi's words quietly, then his expression became serious and he unconsciously clenched his hands: "So what do you mean?"
Xiao Yi saw Huang Xiongwei's nervousness and immediately smiled and explained: "I won't ask you to rebel and seize power, don't be nervous. I can only feel that if you sacrifice your life, you should get a corresponding reward, right?"
Huang Xiongwei relaxed a bit and asked again, "It's not a very feasible plan to fight for rights without spending any soldiers."
Xiao Yi: "Then let me tell you, the most critical and largest batch of supplies in the base was taken back by our team at the cost of almost all our lives. Do you think it is more feasible?"
Huang Xiongwei looked at Xiao Yi affectionately and seriously, with many emotions in his eyes. Some of these emotions Xiao Yi could understand, while others he couldn't. In short, Xiao Yi knew that Huang Xiongwei must be watching those fighting days through him.
In fact, Xiao Yi saw it right, but he only saw half of it. Because Huang Xiongwei not only saw the days of fighting, he also saw those who lost their lives because of the fighting. What they didn't get. Then those who are still using their lives to stick to it, can't they get what they deserve? "The rich have wine and meat, while the poor are frozen on the road." Is it right to keep doing it the same way? Maybe what Xiao Yi said is right. Even if the process is a little tortuous, even if he doesn't have to stick to those so-called character and reputation. But he really fought for real rights and interests, isn't it the best?
"The sin is in the present, but the benefit will last for thousands of years", doesn't anyone need to do it? ? ? Okay, let's do it. It took Huang Xiongwei seven or eight minutes for his eyes to go from being distracted to regaining focus. Xiao Yi did not interrupt him, just looked at him quietly, without disturbing him. Because Xiao Yi believed that he would be able to think it through. The so-called false reputation, compared with the vital interests of the brothers, which is more important, Huang Xiongwei would definitely figure it out. "Okay, then what do you want to do?" After Huang Xiongwei regained his focus, he asked Xiao Yi directly.
