Chapter 227 Old Friends
Moonlight shone on my face, but the young lady was backlit, so I couldn't see her face clearly.
It could only be vaguely seen that she was a short-haired woman.
"Chengcheng!"
The young lady excitedly called out my name.
I felt a little lost. That familiar voice, that familiar nickname…
"You, you are... Sumi?"
Before I could even react, I was pulled into a fragrant embrace.
Only now did I realize what had happened, and the shock I felt was like being swept away by a raging storm.
Who can understand the shock I feel right now!
Being kidnapped by bad guys, and the leader of their den is my best friend, is like my best friend winning the lottery and giving me 5 million!
What a satisfying read! My life is a super satisfying read!
Sumi didn't let go of me. Her voice came from beside my ear: "I missed you so much. How have you been all these years?"
I patted Sumi's arm, signaling her to let go of me, as I was having trouble breathing.
After a long-awaited hug, I took her hand and replied, "I'm doing well. How about you?"
"Me too."
Sumi and I laughed at the same time.
Under the moonlight, I could see that Sumi's eyes were shining slightly, filled with joy.
Sumi has changed a lot; she's no longer the sweet girl with fair skin.
He cut his hair short, which made him look somewhat dashing and neat.
After a brief reunion with Sumi, I realized my current situation: "But I'm not doing too well right now."
Sumi grabbed my hand and pulled me outside, saying, "These people are crazy."
Just as we reached the door, the burly man stopped us with a pitiful expression, making a final plea: "Don't go, okay?"
"Get out of here."
Sumi kicked the big man, grabbed me, and left without looking back.
We encountered many patrolmen on the road. They seemed hesitant to speak when they saw us, but no one dared to say anything.
Even with Sumi's protection now, I still kept an eye on my surroundings.
Rows of houses are arranged in an orderly manner. Compared to the White Town base, which uses local materials, the houses at the Eagle Base look newly built.
The walls were very high, there were many patrols, and each area was clearly divided, making it look much more organized than the White Town base.
It's more like a military base than a survival base.
However, Sumi pulled me to a small villa, which shattered my perception.
This little villa is the very place where I looked for Sumi back then.
It turns out that the famous Eagle Base was built in Sumi's villa area.
I followed Sumi into the small villa.
This villa is almost the same as when I came here many years ago, still maintaining the previous decoration and layout.
The room was warm, and after being frozen for so long, I felt instantly refreshed as soon as I touched the temperature.
"Shall I take a shower first?"
Sumi looked at me, who was all dirty, and made a suggestion.
I smiled and nodded: "You understand me best."
My hands and feet, which were a little stiff from the cold, were soaked in the warm bathtub, and it felt like every pore on my body was opening up.
After a comfortable shower, I changed into Sumi's warm clothes and found Sumi to get down to business.
I picked up the milk-flavored mini steamed buns that Sumi had prepared for me on the table and we ate them while chatting.
"Does this Eagle Base belong to your father? Is your father the base commander?"
Sumi nodded: "Yes, it was built during the extremely cold period."
"What's the story with that deputy base commander?"
Upon hearing the name of the deputy base manager, Su Mi frowned in annoyance: "He's a distant cousin of mine. He used to be my dad's secretary. After he built the Eagle Base, he naturally became the deputy base manager."
Sumi suddenly turned to look at me and asked, "By the way, we haven't talked about the important matter yet. Why did he arrest you?"
"This is what I mainly want to talk to you about. I've been at the White Town base recently. Your uncle has planted a lot of spies there, probably planning to wipe out the entire White Town base. I happened to be helping out at the White Town base when he caught me and brought me back."
Upon hearing this, Sumi angrily rolled up her sleeves: "How can he still be secretly doing this kind of thing? My dad has told him many times not to cause conflicts with other bases and not to be greedy and seize other bases, but he just won't listen."
I composed myself and said to Sumi, "Well... the main problem is that I think he's ambitious, and he might want to replace your father."
When Sumi heard me say this, she looked surprised: "What? How dare he!"
I continued, "When he brought me back, the first time he introduced himself, he said that the White Town base was his, and I thought he was the base commander."
Sumi frowned and thought for a moment, then said in a low voice, "But it is indeed possible. He is very combative and usually manages more things in the base than my father."
Holding Sumi's hand, I suggested, "However, we can't convict him based on just this one sentence. You can tell your father about this, and you can decide for yourselves."
Just as Sumi was about to speak again, there was a knock on the villa's front door on the first floor.
We both looked at each other simultaneously, our eyes filled with nervousness.
Sumi reassured me, "Don't be afraid, no one will dare to touch you while you're here with me."
I believe Sumi, and I tightened my grip on her hand.
Follow Sumi downstairs.
"who?"
Sumi asked loudly.
"Young Miss, it's me, Second Uncle."
The deputy base commander's voice came from outside the door, making me shudder.
What brings you to me so late?
Sumi didn't speak to him kindly.
"Is my person with you? Don't be ridiculous. Give him to your second uncle. He's busy with important business."
His tone of voice when he spoke to Sumi was completely opposite to mine; he sounded like a gentle and refined gentleman.
What a pretentious act.
Sumi's tone became even more unfriendly: "She's my friend. You arrested my friend, and I haven't even settled the score with you yet. How dare you come here?"
Seeing that Su Mi was not giving him any face, the deputy base commander brought up Su Mi's father: "Miss, if you continue to be so stubborn, I will have to talk to your father."
"casual."
Sumi said this and pulled me to sit on the sofa in the middle of the living room.
I asked in a soft, breathy voice, "Are you really alright?"
Su Mi pouted: "What are you afraid of? My dad knows you perfectly well, he'll definitely side with us."
Although Sumi said that, the two of us didn't chat or reminisce.
We all know that now is not the time.
After a silence of more than ten minutes, there was another knock on the door.
"Young Miss, Young Miss, something's happened. The base commander wants you to come over."
A man's anxious voice came from outside the door.
"What's up?"
Sumi asked while taking small sips of her tea.
We both thought it was the deputy base commander who complained to her father.
"I don't know why a large group of people came to the White Town base. I'm afraid a fight is going to break out."
