HCB Chapter 208: Ruining the Pure Revolutionary Friendship
Chapter 208: Ruining the Pure Revolutionary Friendship
"I'm not saying this to ask for your forgiveness. At first, I didn't expect you to join the Central Special Branch, and I certainly didn't expect you to be among those arrested in Hong Kong. Perhaps this is God's blessing, allowing me to see my family before I die."
He was content with this aspect alone, and he would not force Chu Xinyuan to forgive him whether she wanted to or not.
In this life, he was worthy of the country, but he was not worthy of his family and the brothers who died for him.
Fortunately, his family members are all fine, so he can die without regrets in this broken body.
Chu Xin frowned, "I know you want to kill Lin Yue, but you don't have to die even if that's the case."
Chu Xin smiled bitterly when he heard that. He said that because he didn't know how terrifying Lin Yue was.
Of course, he had no idea how terrible his cheap niece was.
As for the hatred in the world, Chu Xin believed that one should not advise others to do good without experiencing their suffering. Moreover, when she heard that the person she was carrying was a life-and-death hatred, she did not say anything more.
Turning to ask other questions,
"Although Aqiang has followed me back to the mainland, you should know that with his temper, if he insists on coming back, Chu Yunting will not be able to stop him."
Hearing this, he thought of that bad-tempered but sensible and filial rebel, and said distressedly:
"He was a child that Hong Lin took in early on. He has lost his parents and family. Living in this cannibalistic place, he will be hacked to death sooner or later.
Seeing that he was smart and capable, Hong Lin brought him into the Hong Gang and gave him a job."
Then he sighed again,
“In fact, he’s not the only child. There’s another one named Ayang, also an orphan. He’s stronger than Ayang and has been with Hong Lin for a longer time.
He knew I was fake the moment I came back from the US."
Then he seemed to remember something and changed his words.
"No, it turns out Aqiang knew about it too, but he just didn't say it out loud. Instead, he has been with me all these years and helped me to stabilize the gang."
"What about Ayang?" Chu Xin asked him.
"Why have I never heard Aqiang say that?"
To be precise, no one in the entire Hong Gang discussed this person, as if he had never existed in the first place.
Hearing this, he took a deep breath, and his emotions, which had finally calmed down, became a little excited again. He stammered and said after a long time:
"Hong Lin has never given up on searching for me since I disappeared. After learning about me, he abandoned such a big gang and went to the United States to look for me. Unfortunately, I was the only one who came back. Wuwuwuwu, I was the only one..."
Chu Xin had a headache. She was most afraid of someone crying. "Then what?"
"Then, I returned to Hong Lin's place in Hong City. After Ah Qiang found out that Hong Lin hadn't returned, he went to the United States alone to seek revenge. He had entered the experimental base at the same time as Zhen Long. Not only did he fail to seek revenge, but he was tortured to the point of being worse than death by those people. He was even more unwilling to be used by them, so he committed suicide.
Zhen Long came to tell me all this after returning from the United States, so I turned a blind eye to Zhen Long's repeated schemes, as long as they were not too excessive."
Perhaps it was the sadness that had been suppressed for too long, and she cried for a long time after hearing this, and Chu Xin knew everything.
The Hong Gang supported the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and had been providing transportation of medicines and supplies to the country until Hong Lin was sent to the United States. This had been done by his father's generation.
Because it is very risky to do this in the Eagle Leased Territory, only the closest people know about it.
Until the old gang leader passed away, those who followed him were all retired and no one caused trouble in the gang that Hong Lin took over. In addition, when he organized people to go to the United States to rescue Wen Yan, he brought brothers with him who he had been through thick and thin with.
Only Aqiang and Ayang were left. Although Aqiang acted weird all day long, he actually knew everything but was unwilling to say it.
Until now, he still maintains the same disposition as when Hong Lin left, and always remembers Hong Lin's words to protect Wen Yan.
No one was allowed to mention Ayang, so as to avoid anyone doubting Wen Yan's identity.
Chu Xin waited until he could cry no more tears before handing him the water she had found.
"You must be tired after shedding so many tears. Drink some water and take a rest."
Hearing this...
This sounded a bit strange to him and he couldn't respond, so he could only wipe his eyes and take a few sips of the water.
His bloodshot eyes scanned the courtyard, and then he continued:
"I didn't know what Hong Lin said to Aqiang and Ayang before he left. I just thought I had at least fooled the impulsive Aqiang.
It wasn't until now that I realized that I had been seen through from the very beginning. They called Hong Lin "Dad" and called me "Boss".
Alas, no matter how carefree a person is, he or she is also very thoughtful, it’s just that I discovered it too late.”
Both children lived up to Hong Lin's trust. One died to avenge him, and the other guarded the Hong Gang for him, allowing the dying Wen Yan to hide here safely to recuperate.
Chu Xin didn't know if there was something wrong with her thinking. Perhaps she had never encountered a friendship that was worth exchanging life for life. She looked at Wen Yan, who was secretly sad, with a strange look in her eyes.
After a brief hesitation, I tentatively asked him,
"So, you... uh... um... and Hong Lin really are... um... just friends?"
He was stunned when he heard that!
"……What?!"
When he realized what Chu Xin said, he looked up at her in astonishment. He really couldn't imagine that she would ask such a question.
He has lived in the United States for many years. It is an extremely open country, so he certainly understands what Chu Xin means.
The eyes under the mask showed disbelief, but a passage of scripture that Hong Lin had read came to mind.
"Where you die, there I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord punish me severely if death does not separate you and me."
At this moment his heart was completely confused.
Chu Xin looked up at the sky with regret, secretly cursing himself for being too talkative and ruining other people's pure revolutionary friendship in an instant.
Just as Chu Xin was about to flee, she heard footsteps. She turned her head and saw a tall figure striding towards her under the dim porch light. It was Zhou Yichen.
Chu Xin had never felt that Zhou Yichen was so pleasing to the eye. He was definitely a good tool as he could rescue her from embarrassment.
"Is everything done?"
Zhou Yichen walked closer, looked at Chu Xin who seemed to be overacting with his deep dark eyes, and then glanced at Wen Yan who was distracted. His intuition told him that he had to respond to this sentence.
“Well, it’s all done. Lin Yue has been fooled and should have received the news that we have all returned.
So, I hope you can tell me about Mr. Hong’s next plan.”
This sentence not only relieved Chu Xin's embarrassment, but also brought Wen Yan back to his senses, leaving him with no time to think about anything else.
…………
Zhen Long has been waiting since Lin Yue left him, waiting for either an immediate death or an opportunity to cooperate with the Hong Gang.
The two people who followed Lin Yue to the Hong Gang also had their own intentions. He asked them to follow Lin Yue to find Master Hong just to show him that they were "on the same front" with him.
In fact, it would have been best if he went there in person, but unfortunately he was really powerless at the time. He did not get enough rest after being seriously injured. He had a high fever for two days in a row and really did not have the energy to deal with it.
In the past, he was able to survive by relying on Chen Qianqian's perverted selfish desires. Now that Chen Qianqian is useless and the Chen family is gone, he can only take the initiative to join forces with the Hong Gang if he wants to survive.
And today is the day to reveal the answer. As for the news that Chu Xin and others have returned to the mainland, he doesn't believe a word of it.
Ding-ling-ling-ling
The phone on the desk rang, and Zhen Long breathed a sigh of relief. It was Mr. Hong's call that he had been waiting for.
