Wu Xiangyou …
How could Liu Xiaojiang not remember this' innocent 'boy who died in his hands?
Besides, it was also because of Wu Xiangyou that Rhode began to doubt the validity of the Dark Fortress. He believed that such a secret organization still had a certain degree of drawbacks in accepting Mutants …
A few months ago, at least in the case of Wu Xiangyou, the word 'irresponsible' was applied to the person in charge of the Dark Fortress. It was a more objective and appropriate statement of the truth.
However, if Rhode were to fuss over Wu Xiangyou's death, the Dark Fortress would only be considered as being irresponsible.
Emotionally, Wu Xiangyou's death was indeed regrettable, but rationally … What was the difference between him and the guy who destroyed the orphanage and caused the death of dozens of innocent children?
Back then, when this boy barged into the real estate company and killed his enemies in the orphanage out of revenge, he also caused serious injuries and deaths to many innocent people …
Moreover, when he escaped from the Dark Fortress, he didn't stop hurting innocent people. Even the staff who treated him well ended up in a wheelchair for the rest of their lives …
Liu Xiaojiang learned about these details from Zhao Fangxu. Even though he still sympathized with Wu Xiangyou's experience and ending, apart from feeling guilty and regretful about the fact that he had killed this boy, he also felt an inexplicable sense of comfort.
Under the influence of this self-consolation, he even gradually forgot the boy's name until Wuyue mentioned the name 'Wu Xiangyou' again …
…
"Alright, I promise you. I'll visit the Dark Fortress when I'm free …"
Liu Xiaojiang gazed at Wuyue who sat beside him. In the end, he didn't reveal the truth as he didn't intend to shoulder the responsibility of the person in charge of the Dark Fortress.
"But I'm sure you've heard about the situation in the Dark Fortress. Not everyone will join the company and not everyone is willing to let the so-called special ability follow them for life …"
"If this superpower is equivalent to the painful memories of the past for Wu Xiangyou, then after his mental illness is fully cured, he will most likely give up on this superpower and choose to return to normal society, so that he won't be reminded of the past when he sees the superpower."
"And if it's as I guessed, he has already given up his special ability under the arrangement of the Dark Fortress and returned to ordinary society for many years. Then, his memories of the orphanage … I'm afraid they are fading bit by bit as time passes."
"Wuyue, if that's the case, as a sister whom he has never met before and only contacted because of the orphanage … are you really going to disturb his life?"
Upon hearing this.
Wuyue thought carefully and said, "If that's the case, I won't disturb him. But at least let me see him from afar and see that he's living well …"
"After all, apart from me and him, everyone else who was in the orphanage back then has left with the old principal. I'm the oldest … so naturally, I have to assume the responsibility of a parent on behalf of the old principal. Only then can I at least live up to the care the orphanage has given me back then."
"… How long have you been in the orphanage?" Liu Xiaojiang suddenly asked curiously.
"Less than four months …" Wuyue replied, "At that time, the orphanage had just been opened. There were only three children apart from me and the old principal. I'm the oldest … and the only child who awakened a special ability. But even the old principal doesn't know about this."
"That can't be right …" Liu Xiaojiang couldn't help but squint when he heard this. "You said that Mr. Su and the others picked you up. Could it be that you weren't an infant …"
"I was taken away from the orphanage by Mr. Su and the others …" Wuyue shook her head and said, "Because I couldn't stand the gangsters around. They always said that the children in the orphanage were defective goods that no one wanted, so I used my ability to teach them a lesson."
"I see …" Liu Xiaojiang smiled and picked up the wine bowl on the floor. "It seems that you have deep feelings for the orphanage. You've been thinking about the old principal for only a few months. After that incident at the orphanage, you … were already here?"
"Yes …" Wuyue's face showed a trace of bitterness. "If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't leave, I wouldn't have watched that child go to extremes …"
"At that time …" Liu Xiaojiang couldn't help but say, "It wasn't that no one took this matter seriously. Besides, the old principal had a good reputation. Many of the neighbors were working hard for this matter. Chairman Zhao said … if we wanted to deal with a real estate company like this, we had to deal with them from the roots."
"In the end …"
"That child, Wu Xiangyou, didn't wait any longer. Instead, he chose the stupidest way. Just as the protection of the real estate company was taken care of, he had already killed his way in alone …"
"… Didn't you just say that you didn't know about Wu Xiangyou?" Wuyue heard this and looked at Liu Xiaojiang with a puzzled expression.
"How did he …"
"He's already dead." Liu Xiaojiang fully understood how important this matter was to Wuyue. In the end, he gave up on hiding the truth about Wu Xiangyou. He didn't want her to suffer a heavy blow when the time came.
"The person in charge of the bunker gave the order. I was the one who carried out the mission. The content of the mission … was to kill the severely injured staff of the bunker, the fugitive and extremely unstable Wu Xiangyou.
"Wuyue, I'm sorry. I lied to you …"
If she hates me, then so be it …
It doesn't matter if we can't be friends …
But at least I have to make sure that this woman won't do anything stupid …
After all, Wuyue chose to hold a grudge against me because of this matter. It's better than her being unable to recover from the setback when she finds out the truth in the future …
Liu Xiaojiang admired a woman like Wuyue who was far away from home, but still knew who she was.
Therefore, he didn't want to see her go to the extreme because of Wu Xiangyou. Before the matter really started to ferment, he took the initiative to tell her the truth so that she would have a target to hate in the future.
This target could be Liu Xiaojiang, or the person in charge of the bunker, but it definitely couldn't be the company's bunker, or Mr. Su and the others who stood at the top …
Because …
Once a person like Wuyue felt despair about the things she was protecting, then in the future … who could guarantee that she wouldn't go to the other extreme?
If a person like Wuyue went to the other extreme, regardless of whether it would be Mr. Su's loss or not, for Liu Xiaojiang personally … he didn't want to see a person like Wuyue go to the end of the road.
"Is this all true …" Wuyue was stunned for a moment, and the expression on her face gradually turned gloomy. "The order of the person in charge of the bunker … but you killed that child Wu Xiangyou with your own hands!"
Hearing that …
Liu Xiaojiang looked at the woman kneeling beside him and her hands that were slightly white from holding the wine pot. He nodded and admitted, "That's right …"
"That child Wu Xiangyou is dead, and I did kill him with my own hands. I don't intend to explain anything. If you choose to hold a grudge against me because of this … I can completely understand."
At this point, he slowly got up from the floor and looked at the cherry blossom tree in the courtyard.
He said calmly, "Wuyue, no matter what you think, I feel that the order given by the person in charge of the bunker at that time, as well as my own actions in dealing with Wu Xiangyou … There's nothing wrong with it."
"Perhaps there's something wrong with one of the links before that …"
"But, to you, that's not important. What's important is your feelings for the orphanage, and who killed that boy with his own hands …"
"The person in charge of the bunker gave the order, and I carried out the mission given by the order. I killed Wu Xiangyou, who you valued so much, with my own hands. This is a fact that no one can change …"
"So …"
Liu Xiaojiang turned around and looked at Wuyue with a smile. He did not care about the gloominess on her face.
"Wuyue, you can avenge Wu Xiangyou, but I can also let you kill me. Although I won't kill you, I won't passively wait for you to kill me. After all … I also have people that I value. I don't intend to go overboard just because I understand you."
"If I can't kill you, aren't you afraid that I'll do something to the people around you …" Wuyue looked up at Liu Xiaojiang.
"You won't do that …" Liu Xiaojiang shook his head and smiled. "Every injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. You're much more rational than I am when it comes to the Mutants in Japan …"
"Of course …"
"If you really do that …" Liu Xiaojiang gradually put away the smile on his face, and then slowly said to Wuyue, "Let's not talk about whether you can do it with your ability. If you really do do it, then I will no longer see you as a friend."
"Friend …" Wuyue was so angry that she laughed. "You and I have only known each other for two days. Friends … are we?"
"That depends on what you think …" Liu Xiaojiang shook his head indifferently and said, "Anyway, to me, you're a person who is far away from home, but still knows who you are. Your ability, thinking, and attitude … are all very admirable."
"So …" Wuyue put down the bottle in her hand. "Mr. Su and the others kept refusing because Wu Xiangyou died in your hands … right?"
"They probably don't know how to explain it …" Liu Xiaojiang sensed Wuyue's thoughts and couldn't help but frown slightly.
"After all, objectively speaking, the person in charge of the Dark Fortress didn't do anything wrong with Wu Xiangyou. His death … can at most be attributed to the lack of ability of the staff of the Dark Fortress. They couldn't completely solve Wu Xiangyou's psychological problem after years of contact."
"But considering you, it's understandable that they didn't have the heart to speak …"
"After all, you have deep feelings for the orphanage. The incident back then must have affected you greatly. If you know about Wu Xiangyou, no one can guarantee that … this won't be the last straw that breaks the camel's back."
After saying that.
Liu Xiaojiang didn't care about Wuyue's reaction. He walked directly to his room and reminded her without turning back.
"Wuyue, if you want to take revenge, you'd better hurry. After all, I don't have much time left here. Tomorrow … I'll take a plane to the next mission location."
"There are still many things waiting for me in China …"
"…" Wuyue looked at Liu Xiaojiang's back as he left. Her eyes seemed to be filled with hatred and complexity. In the end, she could not maintain her kneeling posture and sat down on the wooden floor.
Then, she looked at the blossoming cherry blossom tree in the courtyard. Her eyes were red as she picked up a bottle of wine and, in a rare moment of forgetfulness, downed the wine in the bottle …

At the same time.
Lianmen Port.
Near the secret base where Er Zhuang and Chen Duo were.
A group of men and women in black suits gathered at the corner of the street near the base. They reached out to take off the golden badges near their collars and put on masks to hide their identities.
"The president actually asked us to do this. If we really capture Gao Lian's daughter this time … is it really okay?"
"… What are you talking about?" In the team of more than a dozen people, only one person did not take off the badge on his suit, nor did he wear the same black mask as the others. When he heard the question, he only glanced at the person who asked the question beside him and said, "
"If you're talking about the company, will they find out that it was us … Aren't you all wearing masks?"
"No … What I mean is that the guy who even the president is afraid of, even said something about the president before he left. He's always on guard against us attacking the northeast region. Can't he guess that we're the ones who did it?"
"Hey, that guy from Mount Longhu …" The man took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, lit it, and took a puff.
"So what if he guesses that it was us? Anyway, we've already got Gao Yushan. If he doesn't want her to die … then he can only be led by the nose by the president in the future."
"Sigh, look at these powerful guys. Every one of them has a weakness that's easy to target. Sure enough, no one is perfect …"
"… That's true. But other than the few company employees arranged by Gao Lian, does that person really not have any other backup plans? That's an existence that even the president has to be careful of …"
"What's there to be afraid of? How many people do he have that can be used?" The man shook his head.
"Even if he really has a backup plan, with so many of us coming together, who among the few people who have a good relationship with him can stop us? If we can't fight … then we'll just have to pay a little price."
"After all, this is the president's order …"
As he spoke..,
A light blue light appeared in the man's eyes. When the rest of the people heard this, their eyes also flickered with the same light when they spoke in agreement..
