After returning to Beijing, Xu Yun was still troubled by a question. He had wanted to ask Wan Kuangxiao many times. How did Uncle Xiang know about his father? How did he know about his identity? Even after knowing his age, Uncle Xiang confirmed his identity.
With so many doubts, Xu Yun didn't ask in the end. He knew too well that Wan Kuangxiao wouldn't say anything about his father. Not to mention that he couldn't ask, even if Zuo Lengyue was in front of him, she couldn't force him to say anything.
"Are you going to leave again?" After seeing Xu Yun, Wan Kuangxiao smiled and said, "About Dong Xiang, I believe you must have a lot of doubts. I also know that you won't ask me anything … But, I want to talk to you more or less about this matter. "
Xu Yun was a little surprised. This was the first time that Wan Kuangxiao took the initiative to mention something that he didn't think should be talked about. "Commander, although I'm very curious about this matter, I don't mind not knowing anything if it goes against my principles."
"Because you already know that Dong Xiang is a person who escaped from Hua Xia's army." Wan Kuangxiao said, "You also know the reason why he escaped."
"Because he secretly escaped from the investigation team and ran to our Dragon God Special Operations Group?" Although Xu Yun said that he didn't mind not knowing anything, he still couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart out of curiosity, "Did our team refuse him?"
"Of course we didn't reject him." Wan Kuangxiao said, "In fact, we planned to recruit him after he finished his service. He was very likely to become another top-notch captain of the Dragon Brigade. Unfortunately, he didn't wait for that time. The one who ruined him was himself. He didn't even have a little determination … We can only say that we are very disappointed in him. "
As Wan Kuangxiao spoke, he coughed a few times and raised his head to look at Xu Yun.
"Do you know why he had to choose our Dragon Brigade?" Wan Kuangxiao threw the question to Xu Yun, his gaze fixed on Xu Yun.
Xu Yun thought for a long time and finally shook his head. "I don't know."
"Because of your father." Wan Kuangxiao said lightly, "East Xiang and your father were both from the same investigation team. The two of them were sworn enemies when they were in the reconnaissance team. They were competitive and would do anything for the sake of victory and first place. Of course, this is the most basic requirement to join the Dragon Brigade. "
"And then?" Xu Yun knew that what happened next was the main point. "He and my father …"
"Only your father was selected for the Dragon Brigade." Wan Kuangxiao said coolly, "They are different from me. I was groomed by the country since I was young. After I came back, I became the cornerstone of the Dragon Brigade. Before that, there was no Special Operations Group. Thus, they could only compete within their own investigation teams. With the Special Operations Group, things were different. They hoped to be able to display their strength in front of more people. "
Xu Yun sat quietly before Wan Kuangxiao, quietly listening to his story.
"Unfortunately, back then, the Dragon Brigade was not as strong as it is now. Thus, we could only choose a small number of people." Wan Kuangxiao's voice was a little hoarse. "We can only choose the most outstanding one among the various reconnaissance teams and Dalian teams in the country."
"There is only one person for each team?" Xu Yun was slightly surprised.
"Yes, only one." Wan Kuangxiao shook his head helplessly. "That is the country's strength. The country only has this strength. Thus, we could only let a portion of the soldiers become the country's special forces. Then, we could slowly develop … because back then, our country's strength was there for all to see. "
Xu Yun nodded his head. He could understand. It was just like what Comrade Deng Xiaoping had said when developing the economy. Let a portion of the people get rich first. The logic was the same. There was nothing wrong with that. They needed to let a portion of the people get better first. Only then would they be able to bring about the entire situation.
"However, a large reconnaissance team and company have their own strengths and weaknesses. Not all of the top people in the army are selected to be the best in the country." Wan Kuangxiao smiled faintly. "The investigation team that your father and Xiang Dong were in had many talented people … those who were in the top ten during the training were all among the top five in the country. That was their investigation team … "
Speaking up to this point, Wan Kuangxiao felt quite bad. Back then, the situation did not allow for it. Thus, the country lost a lot of talents. However, rules were rules. Some things could not be changed by one person.
"Do you know, your master … Wang Yi." Wan Kuangxiao said, "At that time, the company he was in was probably the least competitive. After he came to the Dragon Brigade, all of his training results were at the bottom. This lasted for more than two years. Only then did he catch up with everyone bit by bit through his own efforts. "
Although Xu Yun did not know about this, he knew very well how serious and hardworking his master was. Thus, he was not surprised at all when Wan Kuangxiao said this. He knew very well what kind of person Wang Yi was.
"Because of this, many people felt unbalanced. Especially Xiang Dong … "Wan Kuangxiao took a deep breath." Of course, I can understand his thinking. In the investigation team, he was second only to one person and above tens of thousands of people in all subjects. He scored full marks in shooting and had no limits. He was on the same level as the man he had been chasing his whole life. But … sigh … "
The heavy sigh expressed the unwillingness in Wan Kuangxiao's heart. However, there was nothing he could do.
"Because he was unable to become number one, he was unable to be selected into the Divine Dragon Special Operations Group?" Xu Yun said calmly. "It seems that there are too many unfairness in this world. But it is because there are so many unfairness that this world is so fair … "
"Yes." Wan Kuangxiao let out a long sigh. "Because of this, he was unable to be selected into the Dragon Brigade. Because of this, he was mercilessly rejected."
"And then he felt unbalanced?" Xu Yun was stunned.
Wan Kuangxiao nodded. "Perhaps at that time, he had the impulse to prove to everyone that he was the best. He wanted to prove that he had the ability to become the first batch of members of the Divine Dragon Special Operations Group … and then he did something irrational."
"Truth be told, when he was locked up, you also felt that it was a pity," Xu Yun asked.
"Of course I felt that it was a pity, a great pity." Wan Kuangxiao nodded his head. "Perhaps you are unable to understand how important a talent was to our country back then … truth be told, what Dong Xiang did not know was that after he was locked up, I had been constantly thinking of ways to get him out. If not for the fact that his personality was too troublesome in prison, I would have gotten him out long ago."
Xu Yun was silent. Clearly, this was something that made Wan Kuangxiao feel very uncomfortable.
"What was even more unfortunate was … if he had been able to hold on for another four days, as long as he had held on for another four days without breaking out of prison, the approval for his early release would have been issued." After saying that, Wan Kuangxiao appeared to have aged many years. "Because of that approval, he he … sometimes, the efficiency of the higher-ups can really change a person's life."
Xu Yun did not speak again. He knew how much Wan Kuangxiao felt regretful in his heart.
"Because of the approval document for his escape, the higher-ups scolded me for being blind and saying that such a prisoner was a talent." Wan Kuangxiao laughed bitterly. He did not care about these things. What he cared about was losing such a talent. "Then, the entire country started to put Dong Xiang on the wanted list, but in the end, he still managed to escape."
"What a pity." Xu Yun wanted to comfort Wan Kuangxiao, but he did not know what to say.
"Forget it. This is all in the past. Perhaps Dong Xiang's fate was supposed to be like this. " Wan Kuangxiao shook his head. "It's not a big deal. There are too many coincidences in the world. It's very normal. There's nothing to pity. "
Uh …
Xu Yun did not reply. He nodded and said, "Sir, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first. You've been busy the whole day. Rest early. "
"You're going back now?" Wan Kuangxiao was slightly startled. "You should at least go and say goodbye to Yu Meiren. Ever since she was sent back and found out that you went to the border, she has been worried about you every day. You should go and see her. What do you think? There's also that little demon Guoguo. She misses you every day. It won't be too late to say goodbye to them. "
"Yes!" Xu Yun stood up and saluted.
