Only Xu Yun and Yang Qi were left in the quiet room. Yang Qi, who was in the basement, was completely silent. She had no strength left after the extreme grief. She just wanted to be alone.
Xu Yun dragged his weak legs towards the basement. Although he didn't know how he was going to face Yang Qi now, he had to give her an answer after everything that had happened.
Yang Qi didn't say anything after seeing Xu Yun. She just didn't want to see anyone, so she chose to close her eyes.
"I didn't expect Brother Guang to do this, but I promise you, his sacrifice won't be in vain." Xu Yun walked in front of Yang Qi and said calmly.
Yang Qi didn't know where the strength came from, but she suddenly raised her hand. She really wanted to slap Xu Yun! She wanted to ask him why he had to do this to Li Guang!
But Yang Qi's hand didn't come down. After all, she knew that Xu Yun didn't have a choice. He had to sacrifice Li Guang to preserve the plan, or risk the lives of all three to ruin the plan. Obviously, Xu Yun didn't make the wrong choice.
It was just that this result was really unacceptable. This result was really hard to bear.
Yang Qi knew that Xu Yun was under even more pressure than he was. After all, he was the one who made the decision and carried out the execution of this matter. The torment he was enduring in his heart was far greater than what he was enduring.
"I know you're feeling terrible. Maybe you'll feel better if you let it out. Do it. " Xu Yun didn't have any intention of dodging. "I also hope that someone can wake me up. If you can give me a slap, maybe I'll be more clear-headed."
Yang Qi's hand slowly fell. She could no longer stop her tears. All she needed was a shoulder to lean on. Xu Yun took a step forward and allowed Yang Qi to hug him around the waist as she sobbed.
"Why did it turn out like this … Li Guang sacrificed so much, so why did he end up like this …" Yang Qi was overwhelmed with grief. "He said that when he finished this mission, he wanted to go back to the mainland and be a normal police officer. He also wanted to find a girlfriend, get married, and raise a son who was better than him. He wanted him to be a police officer in the future. He wanted to get rid of evil for the people and contribute to the great cause of public security … But all of this is impossible now. Why did he sacrifice his life in the end … Why not me? I didn't do anything, so why can't I sacrifice myself? "
"You've sacrificed enough." Xu Yun gently patted Yang Qi's shoulder. "No one knows Wang Jinjin better than Brother Guang. He knows that if he doesn't sacrifice himself, Wang Jinjin will never trust my loyalty."
Yang Qi felt that Xu Yun gave her an endless supply of strength. It was a kind of tenacity and strength. "You're not only shouldering your own responsibility, you're also shouldering Li Guang's. Can you hold on?"
Xu Yun nodded. Of course, he could hold on. This was the last bit of faith that supported him.
"Xu Yun, you're the last hope for all of us. You're the only one left … You can't fail, you can't sacrifice yourself anymore!" Yang Qi said worriedly.
"Wang Jinjin has already put the Ebola weapon on the agenda. Don't worry, I'll definitely do it." Xu Yun firmly believed in this.
The Ebola weapon, the only person who could end Wang Jinjin's conspiracy was Xu Yun. Other than choosing to believe in Xu Yun, Yang Qi had no other choice.
"I definitely won't let you guys down." Xu Yun said, "What you need to do now is rest well. Don't think too much … I believe that Brother Guang's final decision was the right one. He won't regret his decision."
Yang Qi hoped that was the case. Although she couldn't be sure what Li Guang's final thoughts were, she was willing to believe in Xu Yun's words.
In the dead of night, Yang Qi finally fell asleep due to excessive grief. Xu Yun stayed by her side the whole time. After she fell asleep, Xu Yun covered her with a blanket. Then, he left alone and went upstairs.
Because the night was cold, Xu Yun put on a thin jacket, took a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet, and went to the lawn outside the door.
Xu Yun lit a cigarette. He felt that Li Guang hadn't left. Although Xu Yun was an absolute atheist, he would rather believe that Li Guang's spirit was still in this world.
Xu Yun drank silently. From time to time, he would pour the wine into the air opposite him. He didn't speak, but silently played out a drinking game between the two of them.
Li Guang, rest in peace.
This was the only thing Xu Yun wanted to say. He believed that Li Guang would be more comfortable in heaven than here. He believed that heaven should be where Li Guang truly belonged.
"Come back often. I won't say anything like that." Xu Yun smiled bitterly. "I only wish you a good life in heaven. I will complete the mission successfully and comfort your soul in heaven."
After Xu Yun said this, the sky was suddenly pierced by a few bolts of lightning. There was a faint sound of thunder. Soon, a heavy downpour hit Hong Kong and Macao. Xu Yun was quickly drenched in the rain, but he refused to return to his room. It was as if this was a kind of baptism, a baptism that could make Xu Yun forget all the pain.
The whole night of rain made the world of Hong Kong and Macao much brighter the next day. In the eyes of many, it was another day filled with light. How many knew that such a day was another torment for Xu Yun?
The Hongdong Society's regular meeting was held as scheduled. Xu Yun became the most eye-catching star of the Hongdong Society.
Li Guang's identity as a spy was also known by everyone. Many people were skeptical about this matter, but since it was said by Wang Jinjin, they were more willing to believe Wang Jinjin.
After all, everyone knew that Li Guang was Wang Jinjin's right-hand man. He was the person that Wang Jinjin admired the most. If Li Guang didn't make such an untouchable mistake, they believed that Wang Jinjin would forgive him for anything.
Li Guang's death was a big matter for the Hongdong Society, a very big matter.
The position of the boss of Kowloon City became vacant. Everyone knew that the richest areas on Nine Dragons Island were Kowloon City and Youjianwang District. Now that Youjianwang District was under Xu Yun's management, who would take over Kowloon City?
Li Guang's death was just a passing cloud for many people. What they really cared about was the ownership of Kowloon City. No matter who it was, it would be a great honor for them to get this opportunity.
Because this place was of great importance, the bosses present were sure that Wang Jinjin wouldn't arrange for Li Guang's people to continue to take over. Moreover, Li Guang's underlings were now being interrogated and interrogated.
Arranging for someone to take over this place was something that all the bosses were eager to do.
"I declare that Kowloon City and Youjianwang District will belong to Xu Yun in the future." Wang Jinjin's eyes revealed an expression that made people unable to resist. He knew very well that when he made such an arrangement, there would be people who would be jealous and dissatisfied.
Of course, Xu Yun would be envied. These two rich areas were given to him alone! Why?!
Moreover, how many days had it been since Xu Yun came to the Hongdong Society? How many days had he worked for the society? Wang Jinjin's biased decision clearly threw a bomb in front of the bosses present. It would be strange if it didn't explode.
Even though Wang Jinjin had a "I've made up my mind" expression, it still attracted many people's dissatisfaction.
"Boss, I think you should reconsider this decision!"
"Yes! After all, one person's ability is limited. Kowloon City and Youjianwang District are such important areas. "
"Boss, you have to reconsider. This isn't something that can be casually decided. I think we should hold a public vote to choose the capable person."
Everyone was talking at once. Everyone was jealous. Why could Xu Yun get such good things so easily?!
Wang Jinjin suddenly slapped the table: "All of you, shut up!!!"
Everyone quieted down in an instant. Wang Jinjin rarely flipped out in this kind of situation, so no one was willing to be the first to be beaten. The more arrogant people were, the quieter they were now.
"My decision is not up to you to educate me," Wang Jinjin glared and said: "If anyone doesn't agree with Xu Yun, then bring people to find trouble with him! If you have the ability, then take Kowloon City from his hands! If you have the ability, then Kowloon City will be under your control! If you don't have the ability and die in Kowloon City, then don't f * cking ask me to take care of you! "
