After reading the messages and photos on Wu Jie's phone, Zhan Peng took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. His eyes were red and he sat there for a long time without saying a word.
"Uncle Zhan, are you okay?" Wu Jie asked.
"Ah Jie. How did you find out? I've been searching like crazy for the past year but couldn't find her. I didn't expect she went to Country M. She's living so well now, she definitely won't want me anymore..."
"I accidentally saw it when I was video chatting with Hong Qing. Uncle Long and Xixi also saw it, but they weren't sure at the time, so they probably didn't tell you.
I secretly hacked into my father's computer and found out that he wanted to send someone to participate in the joint operation. Uncle Long had to stay in Yangon to check and balance Sakun. My father would not send him. The only one left who could fight and was on our side was you, so I took a gamble and had someone check it out, and sure enough, they found it.
Zhan Peng glared at him with red eyes, "Do you want to go to heaven? Do you want to get involved in everything the adults do?"
"Anyway, you promised me that I would tell you where Yana is and you would take me there." Wu Jie sighed.
"Uncle Zhan, I have no choice. My father is always busy and away from home. My second child is still young and knows how to read books and act like a spoiled child all day long. If I don't take up the gun, will someone take up the gun and kill my mother and my younger brother in front of me?
Last time, we were lucky. Uncle Long saved us in Yangon, but what about next time? Can Uncle Long save us every time? The best way is for me to become the next Uncle Long. He entered the military camp at the age of eight, and I will be eight in a few days. I have to grow up quickly. I can't stand watching others put knives to my family's necks.
The little boy's eyes were full of determination. Zhan Peng was in a trance for a moment, as if he saw his good brother many years ago who carried him on his shoulders and pushed him through the border iron fence with gritted teeth.
"Zhanpeng, run for your life. Find your father and avenge the people in the village."
Balu, who said this, was also eight years old that year. He was dark and dirty, with dirt all over his face and body. Only his eyes were unforgettable to this day. They were calm, firm, and as tough as a knife.
Now, he saw this look in Wu Jie again.
Myanmar has a generation of war gods. In this country, hope still exists and will continue to thrive.
"Okay, I promise you, but only after your parents agree." Zhan Peng nodded.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhan. Don't worry, your work won't be in vain. I've already had someone guard Yana. Her every move will be traced before you go over."
"Well, thanks, brat. The joint operation hasn't been confirmed yet. I have to fly to Thailand tomorrow and then go to Country M to meet Yana. In the meantime, you should practice your skills in the barracks. I'm bringing soldiers who can fight, not burdens."
"Got it," Wu Jie jumped off the sofa. "I'm going fishing with Uncle Long. Do you want to come?"
"No, you guys go have fun. I'll call the satellite phone and have someone pick me up."
After waiting for so long and finally finding her whereabouts, Zhan Peng couldn't sit still for a minute, "Send me your man's contact information and tell him to pick me up."
"Okay, Uncle Zhan." Having achieved his goal, Wu Jie was extremely generous.
Less than twenty minutes after occupying the tent, he was picked up by a motorboat. Balu sat at the bow of the boat, a cigarette dangling from his lips, but it was unlit. His wife had given him a strict order: he was not allowed to smoke for a month, otherwise she would not allow him to go to bed with her.
Choose the lesser of two evils.
He played with the cigarette butt on the tip of his tongue, watching the long white waves on the sea surface where Zhan Peng was far away, and glanced at Wu Jie.
"You said that?"
"Didn't you ask me to say that?" Wu Jie said casually, sitting next to the fishing rod, drinking coconut juice.
"When did I ever ask you to say that?" Baru laughed.
"Your people have already found out, but you're still holding it back. Aren't you just waiting for me to speak?"
"I was just trying to decide whether to tell you or not. You're the one who can do it." Baru glared at him. "You're so young, but you don't know how to learn good things. You're always thinking about using crooked methods to do business. You're a loser."
"What can't be said?" Wu Jie asked curiously, "Uncle Zhan has aged several years this year. Seeing you and Xixi being so affectionate every day, his eyes have lost their luster."
"What do you know? If he doesn't go, he'll just keep looking for him. He still has some hope in his heart. But if he finds him, the other person will run away on their own and is living well now. They will definitely not want him anymore. That's when he'll really lose all hope.
Don't look at your Uncle Zhan, he's usually smooth-talking and acts like a scumbag, but in his heart he desperately needs love. He loves Yana too, he just doesn't know how to express it. Otherwise, why did he sleep in the red light district every day before, but never spend the night there after getting married? "
"But since Yana left, it means she was disappointed in him. No matter how much he changes, he will only be a little better than his past self. He is not so good that no one can replace him. What my father said is indeed right. A man cannot touch a woman casually before he meets true love, otherwise there will be retribution." Wu Jie shook his little head.
"Why would your father, with nothing better to do, tell you all this?" Baru said disdainfully. "He used to nag at me, and now he's nagging you again. What? Is he planning on passing this down the family line?"
"My father is afraid that I will become a scumbag and unable to get married. He's doing this for my own good. You don't know that I'm always being pursued by the girls in school. Even the officials are trying their best to transfer their daughters to my class. That's why my father doesn't let me go to school anymore."
"Well, it's hard for you, brother. You have to suffer from women at such a young age." Baru snorted and smiled meaningfully.
"Uncle Long, you are so disgusting. I didn't do anything wrong. I was waiting for Xixi to dump you and marry her. She even promised that if you are useless, she would consider me."
"Get lost." Baru's expression changed instantly. "I'm very useful, don't even think about it. Wu Jie, I'm not kidding you. If you dare to think about my wife, I'll really rebel against you. Do you believe it?"
Wu Jie shrank back when he saw that he was serious. "Got it, Uncle Long."
"It's so fucking annoying. Day by day, I'm becoming your old lady?" The man got angry and stood up and glared at Wu Jie. "Watch the fishing rod. If you can't catch any fish, I'll roast you and eat you like a fish."
After saying that, he walked in angrily, leaving Wu Jie alone sitting on the chair.
Wu Jie said indifferently, "Don't even think about asking me to help you coax your wife from now on."
In the bedroom, Nanxi had just woken up and was sitting on the bed in a daze. She didn't react when she saw him come in.
"Wife, what's wrong?" Baru frowned slightly and placed his big hand on her forehead. "Are you sick? Why are you so dazed?"
"No, maybe it's because I'm on the boat. I'm a little uncomfortable." Nanxi leaned on his broad shoulders, "I want to go back."
"Ancestor, you're going out for a while, just to sleep on the boat and then come back?"
"But there's nothing interesting here. There's nothing interesting except the scorching sun and the sea. The ultraviolet rays are strong, and the water smells fishy." The little woman complained lazily.
"Wait, it will be beautiful when the stars come out at night. The sun won't be shining anymore, so why don't you watch a movie first?"
"No." She shook her head, "I want to play with Ajie."
"What's so fun about that kid? Playing with me."
