Duan Peng shook his head dismissively, saying, "We've already saved him; what more could happen? Worst case, we just make the higher-ups run far away and never come back!"
Wang Jiefang let out a cold laugh. "Uncle Duan, you really have a big mouth. No matter how infamous the Wind Committee is, it's still a legitimate national department. Going in fully armed to rescue someone? That would be considered a prison break in any era! You know well what the consequences of a prison break are, right?"
Hearing Wang Jiefang's words, Duan Peng and his group suddenly realized the gravity of their actions. Yes, what they were doing was indeed a prison break! They weren't saving the old leader; they were putting him in danger. No wonder no one had come to rescue the other leaders who had been captured—he had once mocked those people as cowards!
Feeling ashamed, Duan Peng lowered his head and quietly asked Wang Jiefang, "So what should we do? The old leader has been taken by those lunatics; he will definitely be tortured!"
Wang Jiefang reassured him, "Uncle Duan, don't worry. Grandpa Li has already made a decision. Just stay put and don’t try to rescue him; he will be out before long!"
Duan Peng could only trust Wang Jiefang. "Alright then, thank you, Jiefang. Otherwise, I would have made a huge mistake and harmed the leader!"
"There's no need for thanks; you were just too concerned about Grandpa Li. Now that the matter is settled, I should take my leave!"
A few days later, Wang Jiefang was invited over by Li Yunlong.
"Grandpa Li, are you alright?" Wang Jiefang asked excitedly upon seeing Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong shrugged it off. "Oh, like you said, we’ve all retreated; what else could happen? Old Li still has people above him!"
Wang Jiefang thought about it and agreed. As a founding general, there must be many who appreciated Li Yunlong's leadership. As long as Li Yunlong was willing to seek help, he would likely be fine!
"Kid, remember what you said? When I get out, you'll cook me a feast. I've already prepared the ingredients for you; hurry up and get started!"
Before he could say much more, Wang Jiefang was shooed into the kitchen. Tian Yu shot Li Yunlong an annoyed glance. "You just had him arrive and haven't even let him have a sip of tea before putting him to work!"
"Jiefang, thank you for convincing my old man! Otherwise, who knows what would have happened!" Tian Yu added warmly. "If you ever need anything in the future, just come to me!"
No wonder Wang Jiefang felt that Tian Yu was speaking to him more warmly this time; it seemed Li Yunlong had shared his appreciation with her!
The dishes were soon served on the table. Zhao Gang also came over for the meal, and it was then that Wang Jiefang learned that Zhao Gang had also proposed retirement and was planning to go to the countryside with Li Yunlong!
Wang Jiefang scoffed; saying that Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were retiring was really just a euphemism—they wouldn’t have to live in a cow shed! What retirement? There was no such procedure!
Before proposing to step down, Zhao Gang had sent both his son and Li Yunlong's son into the army. Neither of them had any blemishes on their records that would affect their children's careers.
Li Yunlong was fed up with the chaotic scene in the capital. He had applied to return to his hometown but didn’t understand why the Wind Committee hadn’t approved it. Instead, they sent both him and Zhao Gang to Xiaoyang Village in northwest Shanxi!
Li Yunlong looked around and thought this place was quite nice. After all, he had been stationed here before! The ground was no different from home!
