"Yo? What are you doing? There's a gunman outside, don't be reckless," Huang Wei said, a hint of panic in his voice as he noticed Yang Xiaoyou seemingly about to open the door.
Although the stranger outside had helped them solve a major problem, his cold-blooded demeanor instilled fear in them. He could very well be a madman pushed to the brink.
"It's fine. I remember hearing his voice a while back; I think I know him. Although he has a license to kill, he wouldn't randomly harm innocent people. That group outside must have done something to cross his line," Yang Xiaoyou explained as he pushed the bed away with his legs and opened the door.
"Huh?" Zhao Liang, leisurely reloading his gun while smoking, was surprised to see the door open. He hadn't expected anyone to dare open it at such a time.
"Oh? So it's you. Haha, what a tragedy for you to be caught up in the 617 incident and now this virus outbreak. You're not the one spreading it, are you?" The person outside was none other than a member of the Special Department who had come to Yang Xiaoyou's house last time with the police to ask him some questions.
Seeing Yang Xiaoyou peeking out, Zhao Liang couldn't help but chuckle. The cigarette in his mouth trembled slightly as he spoke. His relaxed demeanor combined with his scruffy beard gave him an unexpected masculine charm.
"Hello, Uncle Zhao," Yang Xiaoyou greeted politely.
"Uncle? Am I that old? The city is pretty chaotic right now; you should stay inside," Zhao Liang waved his hand casually.
"I only came out because I heard your voice, Uncle Zhao. I wanted to ask if the law enforcement team has arrived. Are you here for that? Also, will this incident affect my hometown? It's so close by," Yang Xiaoyou took the opportunity to ask.
"Do I look like law enforcement? I'm more like adding fuel to the fire. If I go back, I'll just get scolded again. I'm here just to see if I can catch a glimpse of that cat sneaking into the country. Hehe, if my instincts are correct, it might be related to what happened at your doorstep last time. That's not your family member, is it? They are special forces from the Vietnam War; it's not impossible," Zhao Liang said with a smirk as he enjoyed his smoke, teasing Yang Xiaoyou.
Teasing this somewhat shy young man was quite amusing. Zhao Liang's younger brother was around the same age but had a completely different personality and didn't show any respect for him as an older brother.
After all, he had investigated Yang Xiaoyou and could easily ascertain his public identity without much effort.
"Is it possible that those two irresponsible fellows of mine have really joined some terrorist organization?" Yang Xiaoyou expressed a hint of worry on his face, while a flicker of suppressed killing intent flashed through his heart. Last time, he had merely thought the other party was an ordinary special agent.
However, he never expected that their abilities and instincts would be so strong. The cat he mentioned was probably the one that had come from George Osborne's mouth. Initially, Yang Xiaoyou had just wanted to confirm this issue, to gauge the upper management's concern about it and determine whether he could continue using this identity domestically in the future.
Yet, hearing him forcibly link two unrelated matters together left Yang Xiaoyou exceptionally surprised. Due to the temporary halt by the Common Unity Party, the issue of third-party interference had indeed been exposed. But to connect that incident with the current situation required an extraordinary imagination.
"Relax, relax, I was just joking with you. Your parents are indeed in SH right now, but they are there for work. The evidence is quite substantial. I’m impressed they’re filming a documentary in such a place," Zhao Liang laughed as he looked at Yang Xiaoyou's frowning face.
However, this statement almost made Yang Xiaoyou, who was initially just pretending, burst out laughing. Those two irresponsible fellows were actually here? What a ridiculous situation! But upon hearing that they were fine, he let out a huge sigh of relief. Although he often belittled them verbally, his parents were a part of his heart that could not be touched; there was absolutely no room for compromise on that matter.
"They can't keep doing things like this. No matter how much money they make, isn’t it all for living? Wouldn’t it be better to find a quiet job after returning home?" Yang Xiaoyou said indignantly, now fully showing his true colors without any pretense.
"Leaving you alone is indeed a bit irresponsible. However, they have their own ideals and pursuits; perhaps they think you’ve grown up now. If you force them to come back, they might agree, but do you think they would be happy? Just as you said, making money is for living, and can you be sure they don’t like their current life?" Zhao Liang walked over and ruffled Yang Xiaoyou's hair into a messy state before smiling.
At that moment, however, there seemed to be something on his mind as his focus appeared slightly off.
"Alright, I'm going to check other places to see if I can find any more annoying fellows. Try to stay in your room and don’t come out. Here’s a confiscated police handgun for you to scare people with. Remember, this is for your self-defense. If I find out you use it for anything else, I won’t let you off easily. When the bomb squad arrives and takes everything away, it’ll be because of me—no worries," Zhao Liang said as he took out a Type 54 pistol from his pocket and handed it to Yang Xiaoyou while patting his head with a smile.
Afterward, he turned around and waved goodbye to Yang Xiaoyou.
But as soon as Zhao Liang turned his back, Yang Xiaoyou quietly stepped into the blind spot of the camera and silently raised the handgun, aiming it at Zhao Liang's head.
After exhaling softly, he lowered the gun again and shook his head. For now, the other party hadn’t caught onto his identity or suspected anything about it; it was better not to take risks and observe for a while longer. However, if he needed to use another identity in the future, he would have to be much more careful.
Zhao Liang, is it? It seems I need to take a closer look. Having someone like that in the National Security of JS Province is indeed a bit of a headache.
"Hmm? Zhao Liang, Zhao Liang, right? I remember that the brother killed by that fellow was also named Zhao Liang. Could it be the same person? Did he really do it himself?" After reevaluating, Yang Xiaoyou recalled an inconspicuous memory from when that fellow came to her house and handed her a business card.
When Zhao Chen's identity was exposed, one of the charges listed against him was that he personally killed his brother, who had discovered his secret. His brother's name was Zhao Liang.
"Comrade Leader of the Common Unity Party Radicals, what kind of person are you really?" After adjusting her handgun, Yang Xiaoyou entered the room and closed the door once more.
