In the building, someone accidentally knocked a photo frame on the table over.
In this silent atmosphere, the sound was somewhat conspicuous.
"What should we do?" Huang Zheng’s eyes gleamed as he looked at the people below, and then he spoke to Xiao Jun.
Xiao Jun thought for a moment. Although the people downstairs had a murderous aura, it was clear that they possessed the demeanor familiar to those from the military ranks.
To directly come forward and stand out was already a gesture of sincerity.
Sufficiently magnanimous, and sufficiently courageous.
"Let’s go downstairs and have a chat with them," Xiao Jun said.
After finishing his words, he picked up his gun and started walking downstairs, with the others following.
Li Yu’s eyes narrowed, seeing a tall, muscular man leading the way.
Dressed in a military uniform, his muscles bulging.
Behind him followed twenty or so men, all clad in military uniform.
Li Yu advanced forward as well.
Suddenly, Third Uncle’s voice came through the earpiece:
"Xiao Yu, we’re all set on this side; they still have five people upstairs, now within our shooting range. If anything unexpected happens, give the signal."
Li Yu hummed softly in acknowledgment.
Then, with shining eyes, he looked at these people.
"Bring Yu Lei down," Li Yu said to Li Tie behind him.
Li Tie walked toward the car and helped Yu Lei out, whose leg had been injured by that Gan Gaojie that day.
Now bound with a plaster cast, he hopped down from the car and walked over.
Seeing this person, Xiao Jun and the others instantly understood the purpose behind Li Yu’s visit.
Indeed, he had guessed correctly.
Internally cursing, he had nothing but complaints about the meddlesome pharmaceutical company personnel, who had now hit a snag.
In his heart, he cussed out Gan Gaojie’s parents several times over.
Li Yu pointed at Yu Lei and said, "He got hurt by one of your people, right?"
Yu Lei, realizing that Li Yu had gone through all this trouble just to vindicate him,
found himself moved to the point of speechlessness.
In an instant, his sense of belonging and loyalty to Big Camphor Tree Base hit its peak.
Xiao Jun looked at Yu Lei, clearly recognizing him.
He raised his head to glance at the room upstairs where Gan Gaojie was located, and sighed.
Then, he responded directly: "Yes."
Li Yu saw his straightforward admission and was direct in return.
So he said straightforwardly:
"I know it wasn’t you, but another person. Bring him down. Breaking a leg will settle this matter."
It sounded almost childishly simple.
But in fact, it came from two considerations on Li Yu’s part:
Based on what He Chao and Yu Lei had gathered, these military personnel were already dissatisfied with Gan Gaojie.
Using this method was a test.
To probe the extent of the military personnel’s protection for Gan Gaojie, and whether they were blindly loyal,
determined to protect Gan Gaojie and his entourage.
If the man in front, Xiao Jun, does not hand over Gan Gaojie,
then there’s no point for Xiao Jun and his group to remain.
It doesn’t matter whether they are good people or not anymore.
If they’re not friends, then they must become enemies.
And if they are enemies, they must be eliminated at the first opportunity.
It’s cruel, but it’s reality.
Since Gan Gaojie was so arrogant and domineering, he would surely not want his leg broken.
He would certainly use his status to coerce Xiao Jun and the others for protection.
In that case, seize the opportunity to have Ma Di appear and expose these people.
Let Xiao Jun and the others realize that the ones they are protecting are good-for-nothing scum!
Xiao Jun hesitated for a moment.
Seeing his hesitation, Huang Zheng immediately said to Xiao Jun:
"Jun-ge, it’s Gan Gaojie’s mistake. We shouldn’t have to bear his burden.
Besides, it won’t kill him, and he deserves his punishment.
Jun-ge, our brothers’ lives shouldn’t be sacrificed here for him!
We’ve already lost too many people."
Indeed, because of Gan Gaojie’s wilfulness, in order to protect them, the unit had already suffered too many losses.
Reminded by Huang Zheng, the sliver of hesitation in Xiao Jun’s heart disappeared.
He said to Huang Zheng: "Have Xiao Liu bring down Gan Gaojie and his group."
Huang Zheng’s face lit up with joy. He had long been displeased with Gan Gaojie and his crew; now, he didn’t need to act himself, others would teach them a lesson, and he was delighted to see it unfold.
With that, he walked toward the building.
Upstairs, Gan Gaojie and a few others had already got up and were looking out of the window.
At that moment, Huang Zheng, gun in hand, came up and said to Xiao Liu, "Jun-ge asked us to bring them down."
Then, turning his head towards Gan Gaojie, said, "Mr. Gan, please."
Gan Gaojie, who was upstairs and at a distance, hadn’t heard what Li Yu and Xiao Jun were talking about,
but seeing Yu Lei, he knew that trouble had come knocking.
He was somewhat reluctant to go down, but then he thought, what could happen if he did go down? Surely they wouldn’t dare to harm me?
After all, these soldiers before him were there to protect him.
Not going down would seem as if he were afraid.
How could I, Mr. Gan, lose face!?
His thoughts raced, and a carefree smile appeared on Gan Gaojie’s face, saying:
"If I have to go down, then so be it. What’s there to worry about? Let’s go, brothers, take a walk downstairs."
His words held the poise of a nonchalant young master.
Paired with his lavish attire, it accentuated an aristocratic air.
"Mr. Gan is the best! Come on, let’s follow Gan!"
A group of people went downstairs.
Below, Li Yu quietly waited.
From the corridor, several people emerged, led by a young man.
