Chapter 735: One Step to
Give In An Ran looked behind Tang Siluo. Wu Simiao and the fat man had already ended their fight. Under the faint moonlight, two people, one fat and one thin, got up from the ground together and talked to each other... no, complained to each other.
So An Ran stopped caring about the fat man. She turned her gaze back to Tang Siluo, looked at him, nodded, and pointed to the cushioned chair in the yard outside the door. "Let's talk here. I'll make you some tea."
The tea was roasted tea grown by an elderly couple in Baihua City. It was particularly coarse and not as delicate as the teas before the end of the world. However, it was this coarse tea that exuded the strong flavor of Baihua City.
When An Ran walked out of the room with a pot of tea, Tang Si Luo was already sitting in a chair, his big belly rising and falling slightly in the moonlight. An Ran smiled and put the teapot on the table.
"S/he's moving."
"Yeah." Tang Silu nodded, with a strong sense of struggle on his face. He raised his head, looked at An Ran in the moonlight, and said, "Let Chen Chaogong take me back."
"Um?"
Hearing Tang Siluo's words, An Ran was a little surprised. She raised her eyes and sat opposite Tang Siluo, "That's not the case. Aren't those people still undecided?"
The so-called "those people" refers to Chen Chaogong, who did not formally propose to Baihua City the matter of extraditing Wu Simiao and Tang Siluo. Zhan Lian, Luo Feifan, Fatty, Yun Tao and others in Baihua City also did not make the final decision to hand Wu Simiao and Tang Siluo over to Chen Chaogong to be taken back to the Kinmen base.
“I love this place.”
Tang Siluo tilted her head, her expression showing a transformation after maturity. She thought for a moment, frowned slightly, and said, "These days, I have been thinking about the value of my life. Apart from being a drag, what else can I do?"
Then, she looked An Ran in the eyes, with a dead ashes in them, "If there is ever a time when I can be of use, it might be now."
An Ran looked at Tang Silu silently, thinking about what Tang Silu said. She roughly understood what Tang Silu meant. Tang Silu reflected on his past life trajectory and now wanted to sacrifice himself and his children to accept the olive branch of Kinmen Base for Baihua City.
"I really can't make the decision on this matter, and I don't understand what the rest of the people in Baihua City think."
An Ran pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and said sincerely:
"From a strategic perspective, it would definitely be better to hand you over, but I personally don't think that handing you over will bring peace to Baihua City."
She was the one who killed Chen Chaofa. The Chen family of the Kinmen base will settle the score with An Ran sooner or later. In order to make peace today, Baihua City handed over Wu Simiao and Tang Siluo. Tomorrow, in order to make peace, they will hand over An Ran as well.
Today, the Kinmen base only needs Wu Simiao and Tang Siluo. Tomorrow, the Kinmen base will make new demands, and these demands will become more and more excessive and outrageous.
So An Ran thought that it would be better to make it clear from the beginning that she would not give in, rather than giving in step by step.
Besides, isn't that what Chen Chaogong said? They had no intention of coexisting peacefully with Baihua City, they just praised and affirmed Baihua City on the surface.
Sooner or later, Baihua City will be destroyed by the Kinmen Base, and it will definitely not take just a few months. The Kinmen Base will not allow Baihua City to continue to develop.
