#350 - Chapter 350 Wulongshan Mutiny
"What?" The person inside the thatched hut instantly came out.
It turned out that he was also an infiltrator.
He was Ji Hongfei, who once rented a warehouse to Dongfang Chen, now codenamed: Guigu.
This young man is named Liu Zhenping.
"Master, it's all my fault, I didn't protect Manyun well!" Liu Zhenping was overwhelmed with grief and regret.
He pressed his head to the ground, crying his heart out.
Perhaps only here with his master could he show his vulnerable side without any reservation.
"What are you crying for? Look at your pathetic self! Go, bring the person to me!" Ji Hongfei roared, scolding him for being hopeless.
"Master, they have already been killed by me!" Liu Zhenping replied.
"Hoo~" Ji Hongfei took a deep breath, calming himself down.
"Alas! Get up!" He sighed and said.
"Master, I'm sorry! I was wrong!" Liu Zhenping didn't get up.
"It's just this one thing about you, so stubborn! Once you've made up your mind, ten bulls couldn't pull you back.
You don't need to say sorry to me, I don't want to hear it either.
Get lost!" Ji Hongfei couldn't persuade him, and was too lazy to say anything more, turning around and re-entering the thatched hut.
Liu Zhenping was already a little annoyed when he didn't listen to his advice and didn't let Xu Manyun go to the Binjiang base for training together.
Liu Zhenping believed that he had the ability to protect her and that there was no need for her to suffer this hardship.
This led to her having no ability to protect herself when encountering danger.
So, Xu Manyun's death was half his fault.
Later, after the training ended, Liu Zhenping again didn't listen to Ji Hongfei's advice and didn't strive to stay at the base.
Instead, he chose to return to the Chaohu Resettlement, which made Ji Hongfei even more annoyed.
He was headstrong, lacked ambition, and was unmotivated, only wanting to marry Xu Manyun, have children, and live a simple life.
Therefore, Ji Hongfei had been angry with him for some time and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Everyone has their own choices, and no one can control them.
But similarly, everyone has to pay for their choices, no matter how great the price.
"Master, now that there is no one in charge of the Chaohu Resettlement, the security team wants me to take over.
Zhenping would like to hear your opinion." Although Ji Hongfei had entered the house, Liu Zhenping was still kneeling in place.
"I told you before that I won't interfere with the affairs of the resettlement.
You can make your own decisions on these matters, you don't need to ask me," Ji Hongfei replied.
Now Liu Zhenping is no longer considered a person from the base, nor is he an infiltrator, so many things naturally cannot be revealed to him.
"Since that's the case, then Zhenping will leave." After saying that, Liu Zhenping stood up and left directly.
After Liu Zhenping left, Ji Hongfei sighed again.
It is unknown whether this sigh was out of helplessness towards Liu Zhenping or regret for Xu Manyun.
… …
"Brother, how is it?" The security team member saw Liu Zhenping return and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"From today onwards, I have the final say in Chaohu!" Liu Zhenping said decisively.
"Yes!" The team members were overjoyed and stood at attention, responding in unison.
… …
September 1, 2055 AD, 2:40 AM.
Liaoshen Province, Andong City, Wulong Mountain Resettlement.
Normally at this time, the resettlement would have already quieted down.
But today is very unusual.
The resettlement is brightly lit, and the square is densely packed with people.
They are not ordinary people, but young and strong men, all armed with guns.
"Brothers, I ask you, do you want to fill your bellies?"
"Yes!"
"Do you want to marry a wife?"
"Yes!"
"That's right! Who doesn't want to eat three meals a day until they're full, who doesn't want a wife, children, and a warm bed?
But someone is withholding our food and not letting us live, what do you all say we should do?"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Well said! I solemnly declare here that we are not bandits, nor are we rebelling.
We just want to take back the food that belongs to us, is that right or not?"
"Yes!"
"Good! Comrades, let us take up the guns in our hands and take back the food that belongs to us!"
"Now listen to my orders, everyone get on the train, move out!"
The person speaking is the mayor of Andong City, the person in charge of the Wulong Mountain Resettlement: Que Xin.
In the past, inciting civil unrest was a serious crime that undermined national stability.
It's just that now the parliament does not interfere in the internal affairs of the resettlement, which has allowed some people with ulterior motives to take advantage of the situation.
So, is there really someone withholding their food?
Actually, there isn't.
This is just a rhetoric to incite popular sentiment.
If you really want to say that someone is withholding everyone's food, then it is Que Xin himself.
Of the food allocated from above each month, less than half actually reaches the hands of the people.
The planned allocation of food could only barely fill their bellies, and now that Que Xin has withheld 50%, it would be strange if they could eat their fill.
Que Xin is doing this to cultivate the discontent of these people.
Now that they have also been issued guns, these young and strong men have formed a civilian soldier team with a certain degree of combat effectiveness.
At Que Xin's order, these civilian soldiers jumped onto the train one after another.
Que Xin's real target is the provincial capital city located in the northwest direction: Fengtian City, Liaoshen Province.
Fengtian City is the same as other cities, there is no one in the urban area.
But this is an important transportation hub in the Northeast region.
After capturing Fengtian City, they can use this to advance in the southwest direction and occupy China's largest steel industry city: Andong City.
