"To be honest, I didn't expect you to be in such good shape." Bai Song said in admiration when he saw Sang Gui.
He and Sang-gyu had only known each other for a little over a month, from their initial superficial collaboration to living together for a few days later. Overall, he felt a little embarrassed in front of Sang-gyu.
If Bai Song and others hadn't come, Sang Gui and Xue Weimin wouldn't have been exposed, and they could still continue working at their previous workplace. Although this mission had nothing to do with Bai Song, the previous interruption was real.
Sang Gui was very excited when he saw Bai Song, and struggled to get up. Wang Huadong and Bai Song quickly stopped him.
"I was able to get out of bed, I know it was you who saved me", Sang Kyu clasped his hands together: "Great favor!"
"Your desire to live is actually very strong." Bai Song really admires Sang Gui. Sang Gui actually doesn't want to die at all. In that situation, he was able to hug him tightly. It was not just talk: "It's a pity..."
Bai Song glanced at Sang Gui's feet.
"I'm still alive." Sang Gui twisted his waist. "Look, the night before last, I didn't dare to think about it. After I was arrested, they drugged me. They wanted to use my cravings after the drug to force me to confess. To be honest, I was also a little scared. I'm not afraid of death. I'm afraid... I'm not a human anymore."
Sang-gyu has come into contact with too many beings that are neither human nor ghost, and it would be better for him to be dead if he became like that.
"I've probably heard about how uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms are," Bai Song sighed, "Looking at your expression, how much medicine did they give you the first time..."
"Let's not talk about that. I can get through this with medication here." Sang-gyu's willpower is really strong: "It's great to be alive, ha."
"What are your plans after you return this time?" Bai Song asked.
"I've been silent for a whole day, so I'll just say a few words. I'm actually a person with low self-esteem. I've read the theory of a psychologist named Adler, who said that inferiority complex is the source of all human efforts. He also said that inferiority complex is the force that determines a person's progress. Regardless of whether the inferiority complex is real or imaginary, individuals continue to develop in order to compensate for their own inferiority complex."
At this point, Sang Gui paused for a few seconds and then began to tell the story of him and Xue Weimin: "You said before that Lao Xue might have problems, why did I say he has no problems? I know Lao Xue best. Look at the mission he and I have to take, do you think most people would come for it? Five years, not to mention the danger, in the eyes of my family, these five years are like being in prison, and they have to worry about me."
"I come from a poor family and have always had low self-esteem. After I became a police officer, I tried to pursue the girl I liked for the first time, but she didn't like me. I know that she didn't look down on my money or status. She didn't like my character and thought I was irresponsible and insecure. I didn't understand it at the time. I thought I was just not as good as others. Now I understand that confidence...you all understand once I say it. How can poor people have confidence?"
"We don't have miraculous skills as many people imagine. Let's not say anything nice. To be honest, this job is not available to ordinary people. How many experienced criminal policemen who are 30 years old and can master the local language can abandon their families and come here for five years? In southern Xinjiang, there are not many policemen who understand the local language. Lao Xue and I are quite proud of this. We are considered talents. Talented people are even less willing to come here because it has been too long. I have never been married, so I am considered a relatively alternative person. I came here to find the answer to my life. I didn't find it in the past three years, but I found it this time."
"Director Bai, I'm not as awesome as you guys. I know about your past and I've been in contact with you. You always think it's nothing, but your experience is legendary to most people. I also dreamed of becoming a police officer like you. Of course, it's impossible now. I also know what my leader means. I will retire due to illness. This is also good. After retirement, I want to be a rural teacher. I think this is very meaningful. I figured it out at the moment of life and death."
"As for Xue Weimin, you don't have to worry about him. Many of you may not know his past. His father was a policeman who died on the front line of anti-corruption. Do you think he would give up his dignity for money and sex?"
"What?" Bai Song was really surprised when he heard this: "How is it possible? I should know this!"
"In our industry, many people hide their identities, and many cannot be made public after they die. Of course, if you check him carefully, you have the authority to see it, but you can't know it from daily chats." Sang Gui said: "I said, if you are not an ordinary person, it is impossible for him to be willing to come here. In the eyes of many people, we are great. I personally have no right to comment on this, but no one who comes here is forced to come. Everyone who comes here has his own reasons."
"Yes," Bai Song nodded without saying much, but at this moment, he suddenly had an idea. After hearing about Sang Gui's retirement life, he inexplicably wanted to go there.
"Old Xue is going back this time, he is unwilling to accept it, he has not yet taken revenge. In fact, he is a bit like Eric, they both want to see Mimei fall. It's up to you. I have seen and experienced a lot in the past three years. Now I am really confident to be a teacher. I have very good conditions. I have a full pension, so I don't have to worry about having no income as a teacher." Sang Gui was really happy when he said this.
"You have experienced life at the bottom of this world. It is really not easy." Bai Song knew what he would go through in the three years here.
"We are fine. It's not hard, but we have seen a lot. Officer Bai, in fact, you can go out and travel in recent years, go abroad to have a look, you can go to the Beautiful Country, you can also go to Africa to have a look, go to Kenya, go to Burkina Faso..." Sanggui seems to have rich experience.
"I don't watch those anymore. I know there are countless places where people live a life worse than death, but I don't have such a grand vision. I will be satisfied if I can build our country well. If I have the chance, I would like to visit your hometown." Bai Song is quite free and easy.
"Okay, looking forward to it." Sang Gui was a little excited when he heard this.
"Yeah." Bai Song then asked Sang Gui to have a good rest and left.
…
The preliminary operations in X Land came to an end here. Although Bai Song still had some scars on his body, he had basically recovered. After all, his injuries were mainly superficial.
The next period of time is to rest, recover and wait.
Sang Gui will go back early, and Bai Song and the others will wait here for Wang Liang and the others to arrive.
