Feng Wei sensed the dissatisfaction in Xiao Liu's words and said:
"Alright, alright, be careful someone hears us; it won't do them any good."
"I know, I was just venting to you. I wouldn't say anything to anyone else."
Feng Wei was well-liked, and the young soldiers felt very relaxed in his presence.
"Go on your way, I won't keep you any longer."
After walking a few steps, Feng Wei called out to Xiao Liu, "Hey, I just remembered, I happen to be going over there to see my fellow villager. Why don't I take you there?"
Overjoyed, Xiao Liu hurriedly slapped the paper into Feng Wei's hand, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, and said, "Brother Feng, Uncle Feng, please, please, thank you so much."
After saying that, he ran away in a flash, afraid that Feng Wei would change his mind.
Seeing him run like a rabbit, Feng Wei found it amusing and quickly scanned the copying notes, where his own name was prominently listed.
He was the security captain, and whenever he was on duty, he had to go out twice a day. But now, seeing his own name was particularly glaring.
Looking around, it was dinnertime, and the duty room was empty.
After finding the original notebook, Feng Wei tore out the page with his name on it, then randomly tore out a few more pages, and then took the page with his name on it from the one Xiao Liu had given him.
After finishing, he let out a long breath, straightened his uniform, and walked out.
When Feng Wei arrived at the base office, the person in charge glanced at the entry and exit records briefly, said nothing, and sent Feng Wei back.
Fearing he would be exposed, Feng Wei made a point of meeting his fellow villager and chatting for a while before heading back.
On the way back, Feng Wei thought about it more and more and more and the more he thought about it, the more he realized that the base office's request for entry and exit records was too coincidental. From this, he could deduce that the mysterious person he saw today must be a high-ranking official of the base.
Who is it?
Recalling that person's figure, they were wrapped up tightly, their features were obscured, and they were of medium build—many people fit that description…
I thought about it for a long time but had no clue what to do. I wanted to talk to someone, but I didn't know who I could trust.
The loud noise startled Feng Wei, who was lost in thought. He instinctively assumed a defensive stance, which startled the person opposite him, causing them to take several steps back.
It turned out that the man's tricycle was too full, and some items fell off. Feng Wei snapped out of his reverie and chuckled twice, "You were so lost in thought that you startled me."
The man breathed a sigh of relief and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, I startled you."
Feng Wei smiled and said it was no problem, and even helped the man load the items into the car. The man thanked him repeatedly.
That night, Feng Wei tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, constantly recalling the scene of the mysterious man's meeting with Liu Bao'er, and mentally searching for which base leaders resembled that man.
One by one they were eliminated, and then another one was added in; the number of people with similar characteristics was as high as twenty or thirty.
He suddenly sat up, realizing something; if others could check the base's entry and exit records, so could he.
On second thought, the person had been so discreet that they might not have left through the base gate; they could have gone by sea. This made me feel a little discouraged.
This went on and on until the early hours of the morning before I finally drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the window, bathing the floor in sunshine, which lifted my spirits considerably.
Pei Nansheng and Zuo Ling got up early, ate breakfast, and were about to go out when Bai Hongwei suddenly arrived.
Are you going out?
"Yes, we were just about to go find Chief Mei."
Zuo Ling told Bai Hongwei about finding hair and teeth by the stream.
Bai Hongwei's expression turned serious. The old man from the Ding family was still alive! Not only was he alive, but he had also secretly infiltrated the base. As long as this menace remained, the base would never have peace.
"Let's go, let's go together."
Bai Hongwei drove here.
Zuo Ling felt a pang of sadness; the children of high-ranking officials were indeed different from ordinary people like them.
It's a pity that she has so many vehicles in her space, but she doesn't dare to use any of them, relying entirely on a human-powered tricycle to get in and out.
On the way, Zuo Ling asked Bai Hongwei why he had come, but Bai Hongwei hesitated to speak.
"What, is it hard to say?"
"Of course it's hard to say, it's very hard to say!" Bai Hongwei shouted in his heart.
The old folks thought he had a good relationship with Zuo Ling, so they sent him. To be honest, he really didn't want to come.
But if they don't come, it's a matter of great importance, and someone has to be the bad guy.
Zuo Ling turned her face away. "No, it's not good to talk about, so don't say it. I don't want to hear it."
What could be a good thing that even someone as thick-skinned as Bai Hongwei finds difficult to talk about? Only a fool would want to hear it.
Bai Hongwei breathed a sigh of relief. Perfect, he didn't want to talk about it anyway, let the old guys talk about it themselves.
After that, no one spoke again, and the atmosphere became awkwardly heavy.
