According to Hong Xiaoyi, he intended to directly lead his troops to surround the Seventy-Ninth Regiment. Sun Gang sincerely apologized and admitted his mistakes, which was acceptable; however, as long as Sun Gang dared to act arrogantly, he would directly attack the Seventy-Ninth Regiment and wipe them out!
Of course, this confidence was based on his complete ignorance of the differences in combat capabilities between his own troops and the enemy's. As a seasoned rogue, he had always believed that his Sixty-Fourth Regiment was invincible. However, the Chief of Staff would not allow him to do so. It was one thing for him to die, but he couldn't drag innocent people down with him. Therefore, the Chief of Staff explained the stakes to Hong Xiaoyi. Although Hong Xiaoyi was a rogue, he still valued the hard-earned formal employment benefits of this country, so he hesitated and asked the Chief of Staff, "Damn it! What do you suggest we do?"
The Chief of Staff thought for a moment and said, "How about this? You take a smaller group over first; it's best if you can negotiate properly. If Sun Gang really insists on fighting us, I will bring a larger force to support you." The Chief of Staff had his own ulterior motives; did he really think he would go up there to support Hong Xiaoyi if a fight broke out? That was absolutely impossible. His own survival was paramount. Besides, if Hong Xiaoyi were eliminated by Sun Gang, he might even take over as the Leader of the Sixty-Fourth Regiment. Even if he didn't die, this blame would land him in military court; in any case, he would definitely benefit.
"Alright then, I'll take my Guard Platoon up first. You get all the soldiers ready below; as soon as you hear gunfire from above, charge up! We'll take down Sun Gang's stronghold in one go!" Hong Xiaoyi declared confidently. He then looked at the few injured soldiers standing nearby and said, "You guys come with me and help find those who attacked us!"
"Yes, Leader! We definitely have to go; we want to see how you take revenge for us and how those who hit us get dealt with. We can't miss such an exciting show," replied the soldiers who had been beaten up. They thought this time they could brutally trample those villains from the Seventy-Ninth Regiment who had humiliated them since their Leader was personally leading the charge—what could possibly go wrong?
Hong Xiaoyi quickly gathered his Guard Platoon and swaggered out of the camp, heading down Mountain Road towards the Seventy-Ninth Regiment's base. Here we go! Sun Gang, I'm coming for you!
Just as their vehicle turned a corner, several cars approached from the opposite direction on the upper road. With the headlights shining brightly, Hong Xiaoyi immediately recognized that these were indeed Sun Gang's vehicles. He thought to himself that it was truly a narrow road for enemies; just when he was looking for them, they came right to him. Leading the way in front of Hong Xiaoyi's vehicle was his Guard Platoon, and among them were those injured soldiers from earlier. "Block those cars coming down!" Hong Xiaoyi commanded through the intercom.
The car in front swerved sharply and came to a halt across Mountain Road with a screeching sound. The vehicles coming down had to slam on their brakes just in time to stop before the obstructing car.
"Who are you?! Get out of the way now!" The people from the Seventy-Ninth Regiment were not so easygoing. Although they knew that the car blocking their path belonged to the Sixty-Fourth Regiment, their Captain Sun had always taught them not to regard Sixty-Fourth Regiment's rogues as soldiers. They executed this lesson well; upon seeing that their vehicles were being blocked, they immediately shouted in an authoritative tone.
In the vehicle behind them, Sun Gang and Xin Yi also noticed what was happening ahead. Xin Yi deliberately adopted an official tone and asked, "What's going on here? Who has such audacity to block military vehicles?! This is simply outrageous!"
Although Sun Gang looked down on Hong Xiaoyi, it didn't mean he underestimated his opponent; he still recognized Hong Xiaoyi's vehicle. So Sun Gang replied, "Commissioner, it seems that vehicle coming down is Hong Xiaoyi's. Just as we were about to head down to find him, he appeared right before us. But why are they blocking our cars? Do they intend to trap us?"
"This bastard! What does he think he's doing? Is he trying to rebel?! Immediately send someone over to tell Hong Xiaoyi that I'm here and order him back to his camp! I need to inspect work at his camp right away!" Xin Yi declared with authority and intensity towards Sun Gang. This display of official power was free of charge; whether or not people would take it seriously was uncertain. Of course, he hoped that Hong Xiaoyi would not comply so that he could have a reason to explode with anger and escalate tensions between both sides further.
Sun Gang waved his hand, and a soldier immediately ran over. Sun Gang said to the soldier, "Go tell Hong Xiaoyi that the Special Envoy is coming to inspect his camp. Tell him to bring his men back immediately; I will accompany the Special Envoy shortly!"
The soldier hurried off to relay the message, and after a while, he returned with an angry expression. "Leader, Hong Xiaoyi is being very arrogant and refuses to give way. He says he has matters to discuss with you and wants you to come over, and also..."
"And also what? Speak!" Sun Gang noticed that the soldier kept glancing at Xin Yi sitting nearby and realized that Hong Xiaoyi must have said something disrespectful about the Commissioner. The soldier was hesitant to speak out of fear of angering the Commissioner. However, Sun Gang was quite eager to hear what Hong Xiaoyi had said; he hoped for something outrageous that would infuriate the Commissioner even more. If that happened, Hong Xiaoyi would be finished, and Sun Gang would be satisfied. So he urged the soldier to hurry up and say it.
Xin Yi could tell from the soldier's expression what was going on. He understood Sun Gang's thoughts as well; he himself felt similarly. You want me to explode in anger, right? Fine, I will fulfill your shameless request because I have even more shameless demands for you to help me with. So Xin Yi said to the soldier, "Go ahead, what disrespectful things did Hong Xiaoyi say? Speak honestly; I won't blame you."
The soldier then spoke up, "Hong Xiaoyi said he doesn't know what kind of Commissioner this is. Even if the King of Heaven came, he wouldn't care. He told the Commissioner to go back where he came from..."
"Outrageous!" Xin Yi slammed his hand on the car window and angrily said, "This Hong Xiaoyi really doesn't know how high the sky is! How dare he insult the Commander! Just watch how I deal with him today! You, go tell Hong Xiaoyi to come here immediately! Otherwise, I will charge him with disobeying military discipline today!" Xin Yi was indeed shameless; he truly acted as if he were the Commissioner of the Mingguo Party military, throwing around titles and threatening others with charges of disobeying military orders. He had seen people act pretentious before but had never seen it done so absurdly. Not to mention, when Xin Yi spoke with such righteous indignation, it did carry a bit of a commander's air. After all, Xin Yi was now considered a successful figure with a large Three Tiger Group at home and several hundred brothers from Beng Hu Camp; his influence was certainly greater than that of a single regiment.
Seeing the Commissioner angry made the soldier tremble in fear; his bushy beard seemed ready to stand on end with murderous intent. He quickly ran towards Hong Xiaoyi's vehicle, secretly astonished at how this Commissioner looked like Uncle Sam when calm but turned into a man-eating lion when enraged.
Since arriving at Liu Dingbang's military district, Xin Yi had deliberately not shaved off his bushy beard because Lijie and Roxy constantly ignored him. He knew they were deliberately holding a grudge against him for peeping at them while they bathed and taking advantage of them. However, there was no need for him to cling to Li Jieyu like a cat in springtime; they often asked Li Jieyu in front of him to help them find an officer in the army to marry. Fine, if you want to provoke me, I'll keep my beard until one day—hmm—I'll make sure every inch of your delicate skin feels my wrath! Let's see whose methods are more ruthless!
This time Hong Xiaoyi arrived not alone but followed by a large group of armed soldiers. Hong Xiaoyi was furious; he had never received any notification about a Commissioner coming for an inspection. Suddenly there was a Commissioner appearing out of nowhere? And from the Seventy-Ninth Regiment no less! His first reaction was that this Commissioner must be an imposter concocted by Sun Gang. If he could catch Sun Gang using a fake Commissioner or issuing false orders, perhaps he could turn it against him. With this thought in mind, Hong Xiaoyi got out of the car and approached.
As Hong Xiaoyi reached Sun Gang's vehicle, he arrogantly had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, which one of his guards quickly lit for him. After taking two deep puffs, he swaggered over and looked at Sun Gang and Xin Yi inside the car saying, "Which Commissioner is trying to accuse me of disobeying military discipline? Today I want to see who has such audacity to impersonate a Commissioner!"
However, Xin Yi sitting in the car remained silent because he noticed that under the headlights ahead stood a soldier whose appearance resembled that of a pig's head—his uniform was missing a button due to his protruding belly filled with food. The absence of that button exposed his round belly for all to see.
Xin Yi signaled Sun Gang with his eyes to pay attention to that soldier's belly. Following Xin Yi's gaze, Sun Gang noticed this detail as well; his expression changed slightly but quickly returned to normal as he turned back toward Hong Xiaoyi outside the window with a smile saying, "Commander Hong, right? Don't be angry; I was just joking with you! If I hadn't said it like this, how would you have come over?"
Hong Xiaoyi originally rushed over in a fit of anger, ready to confront the so-called Commissioner who had falsely claimed to issue a decree. However, he never expected Sun Gang to respond to him in this manner. From what he knew, Sun Gang was a proud and arrogant person who loved to show off, just like when he first arrived at Yin-Yang Mountain. Back then, when he went to pay his respects, he was only served a cup of cold tea. How could someone like that suddenly joke around with him? As a result, Hong Xiaoyi was momentarily stunned by Sun Gang's words, wondering what kind of game this guy was playing.
But Hong Xiaoyi quickly regained his composure. He hadn't come tonight to make friends; his purpose for coming was... what was it again? Damn! He almost forgot because of this guy's antics. Wait, let me think... Right! He came to seek justice for his Brothers from the Sixty-Fourth Regiment who had been beaten up! Damn it, I came here to be the bad guy, and you're over here joking around with me—what does that even mean?
