Chapter 417 I Don't Want to Let Go
military region.
"This is absolutely outrageous!"
Qian Guangtao's roar carried far even through the closed door.
He paced back and forth in his office, his expression one of extreme anger.
"Those people don't need to be interrogated, just shoot them all!"
Xiao Yunfeng, the person involved, sat calmly to the side, watching his anger rise.
After Qian Guangtao had vented his anger, he calmly said, "Commander, calm down. Getting angry is bad for your health."
Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Qian Guangtao kept focusing on his breathing.
It's true what they say: the emperor isn't worried, but the eunuchs are.
Pooh!
The eunuchs weren't worried, but the emperor was.
Ptooey!
"How can you still keep your composure?"
Instead of getting angry, Xiao Yunfeng laughed, "Those who should be killed have been killed, and those who should be arrested have been arrested. What else can I do?"
It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned it; the more he did, the deeper the shadow fell on Qian Guangtao's face.
"You killed everyone you shouldn't have! Those who were captured were all low-level thugs under orders; they didn't divulge any useful information. Tell me, what were you thinking back then? Couldn't you have spared the lives of the important people?"
This kind of behavior is definitely not like him. Normally, in this situation, he knows better than anyone who should be spared.
Xiao Yunfeng explained calmly, "The situation was urgent. I was only focused on saving my own life. I didn't have time to think about anything else."
"Nonsense! Do you think I don't know your capabilities? You can kill them, and you can render them incapable of resistance, leaving them only with a breath left to undergo investigation."
Qian Guangtao spoke with absolute certainty. Of course, he didn't doubt that Xiao Yunfeng deliberately left no survivors; there must be some reason he didn't know.
Xiao Yunfeng was too lazy to even explain anymore.
Qian Guangtao looked at him with a probing gaze, and after a few seconds of silence, he seemed to have figured something out.
Su Jin was also there last night; he was most likely doing so to protect the little girl's safety, which is why he didn't leave any backup plans.
If that's the case, then it's understandable, but the trail will be completely cut off.
The enemy is in the shadows, while they are in the open; this situation is far too passive.
"How is Xiaojin? Was she frightened?"
This was the first time the little girl had encountered something like this, and she was very lucky to escape unscathed.
When Su Jin was mentioned, Xiao Yunfeng's expression softened considerably.
"No."
It wasn't the girl who was frightened, but someone else.
"I didn't quite understand why you sent the little girl to the army before, but now it seems that decision was right."
Qian Guangtao said confidently, after all, Su Jin lived with Xiao Yunfeng, and if she went to the army to train, she would at least have the ability to protect herself if something happened.
Xiao Yunfeng sighed softly, "I do wish she could rely on me like before."
Qian Guangtao rarely saw him look so dejected, but considering Su Jin's behavior these past few days, he could probably understand his feelings.
“The little girl has grown up, she has her own wings and her own ideas. It’s time for you to let go.”
"Commander, what if I don't want to let go?"
Xiao Yunfeng suddenly became serious and spoke out the feelings he had been keeping hidden in his heart, feelings that he shouldn't have said.
Qian Guangtao's expression instantly hardened, his incredibly deep eyes fixed on him.
"Yunfeng, do you know what you're saying?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the office became extremely tense.
