"Mu Madman, as the teacher said, evil people can be killed... I am not wrong," Zhao Chen said with reddened eyes and a face full of anger. He repeated this phrase, emphasizing something.
Mu Lianshen understood his feelings. These men had always fought enemies on the battlefield. They had never truly killed anyone outside of battle. This might be Zhao Chen's first act against his principles, and his beliefs were collapsing. Even if he was killing evil people, it was still uncomfortable.
Mu Lianshen's gaze shifted to Fu Xiao, and he thought of Fu Jingxiu. If anyone harmed them even a little, he would certainly do much worse. So...
He looked at Zhao Chen, not contradicting him, and nodded calmly, with a sharp tone, "Evil people... can be killed!!!"
Zhao Chen suddenly laughed, a laugh filled with heartache.
Fu Xiao did not want to hear more. She quietly withdrew to her room.
Mu Lianshen raised his glass, clinking it with Zhao Chen's, and drank it all.
"This matter is so big, Madman, do you believe it? The county committee only pushed out a secretary, hahaha," Zhao Chen said with a mocking smile.
"So this is how the officialdom works? Really dirty..."
He patted Mu Lianshen's shoulder, "I still prefer fighting on the battlefield. At least there, everyone in front of you is an enemy, and everyone behind you is a brother."
"And now? You can't see clearly the people in front of you, and those behind you might stab you at any moment."
He seemed drunk and started to speak incoherently, "Mu Madman, now I feel like the sky above me is not blue, but black."
Mu Lianshen sipped his drink, his deep eyes reflecting a cold light. The sky was always the same sky; what was black was humanity.
Every place, every profession, has its scum. But if those in power are corrupted and breed corruption, they are a disaster for the people and a pestilence to the nation.
He looked at his struggling comrade, who had fought for the country on the battlefield. Now, he was as lost as a child, unsure of the path ahead.
Mu Lianshen stood up, walked to the door, and looked out at the distant horizon. The moonlight was bright, and shadows danced on the ground. Stars flickered in and out of the dark sky, an eternal cycle of light and dark.
After a long while, he turned back and spoke firmly, "Zhao Chen, uphold your principles. It will be over soon!"
Zhao Chen finished his drink and stood up, standing shoulder to shoulder with him. They both looked into the distance, and for a moment, it seemed like they could see the dawn approaching.
The two exchanged smiles.
In the room, Lu Yuan lay on the bed, filled with mixed emotions. He sighed softly, letting his thoughts wander.
At the table, the clinking of glasses began again.
"Mu Madman, is that young girl your daughter?" Zhao Chen asked.
Mu Lianshen raised an eyebrow and nodded, "Yes... my biological daughter."
"She seems quite bold," Zhao Chen remarked.
"Of course, she's my daughter. How could she not be bold?"
"Get lost. Since she's your daughter, let her know what you did on the battlefield. Or should I promote it for you?"
"You dare..."
"Hey, you madman, I'm also your senior brother. Be gentle with me..."
"..."
