Samsara Online

Although Xie Feng didn't want to cause trouble since he had just arrived in Beijing, that doesn't mean that all the people next to him were the same.

Seeing the man standing next to Colonel Tang Pei talking to Xie Feng like that, how could Xie Yao not be annoyed? What's more, for her, it was a nuisance to see a little ant that could be crushed so easily acting in such a way.

However, before Xie Yao had time to say anything, Gu Qianxue stepped forward:

"How dare you talk to Xie Feng like that?"

The words Xie Yao got stuck in her throat and she looked at Gu Qianxue in surprise. Even Xie Feng did not expect such a move from her, so he also looked at her in astonishment.

"And who are you?"

The man frowned and questioned with disdain. Although he was amazed by the beauty of the young girls in front of him, this was a military base in China and not a place where kids could act rampant.

"Who am I?" Gu Qianxue's lips curved slightly into a sardonic smile before replying, "You don't even have the qualifications to see my picture but you dare to speak to the person my father entrusted my safety to? It seems that the audacious person here is you. Know your place!"

The man opened his mouth to say something but was stopped by Colonel Tang Pei's angry gaze:

"Major Wang, be quiet. The people in front of you have enough power to end your career with a few words and no one would object to it."

After saying that, Colonel Tang Pei ignored Major Wang's reaction and apologized:

"I'm sorry for what happened, Little Gu."

"Grandpa Tang doesn't need to apologize." Gu Qianxue smiled sweetly, "On the contrary, excuse Qianxue for being presumptuous earlier."

"Hahaha...Little Gu, looks like your trip to Shanghai didn't just earn you a bodyguard." Tang Pei narrowed his eyes as he exchanged glances between Gu Qianxue and Xie Feng's closeness.

Gu Qianxue blushed slightly at Colonel Tang Pei's comment, but his attention was now on Xie Feng, and with a friendly smile he nodded:

"Young friend, I see that your self-control is not bad at all.... You don't look as dangerous as they say."

Although Xie Feng does not know this Tang Pei, seeing Gu Qianxue's somewhat respectful attitude, Xie Feng knew that he was not just any old man. In reality, it was to be expected since after all, within the ranks of the Chinese army, the position of Colonel was one of the highest. In other words, Tang Pei was one of the most powerful people in the country's armed forces!

"I really don't like trouble." Xie Feng smiled bitterly as he shook his head, "I really just want a quiet life. It's just that sometimes, for various reasons, we have no choice but to destroy that tranquility ourselves."

Colonel Tang Pei seemed surprised by Xie Feng's words. Actually, he was so surprised that for a moment he did not know how to react to those words. It was hard to believe that such words came from the mouth of a young man only 20 years old.

"As for you..." Xie Feng looked at Major Wang, who was looking at him with hidden anger, and warned, "I advise you not to confuse kindness with weakness."

After saying that, Xie Feng ignored Major Wang again. If anything happened after this, it would no longer be his fault. He already warned him once and unless the other side was a monkey, he should understand what his words implied.

While Xie Feng and Colonel Tang Pei were engaged in a conversation with each other as if they were standing on equal footing, Shen Xinya and Yin Yue were paying close attention so they were both able to get quite a lot of information about Xie Feng.

At least, Xie Feng's power was enough for China's highest authority to entrust his daughter's safety to him.

Moreover, it also seemed that even the military was quite apprehensive about Xie Feng; this could be seen from Colonel Tang Pei's earlier comment.

"Let me off, you bastard! I'll flay you and your whole family alive!"

At that moment, a shout from among the passengers who were being inspected caused everyone's gaze to turn in that direction.

A woman in a military nurse's outfit was holding a passenger who was quite a dwarf. The dwarf passenger struggled furiously but no matter how hard he tried, he could not escape from the woman's grip.

What surprised everyone the most was that even while more than one military man was pointing his gun at the dwarf passenger, the passengers around him were not looking at him with sympathy, on the contrary, they were cursing him!

Colonel Tang Pei frowned and approached the scene.

"What's going on here?"

"Reporting." The woman holding the small man answered respectfully: "While conducting an inspection on this person, I noticed that he always kept a small child by his side. At first, I assumed that the child was his relative, but then I realized that this child bore a great similarity to a woman who was crying in the crowd. It was then that I realized that something was wrong."

The woman dressed as a nurse tightened her grip, causing the small man to cry out loud, then she continued:

"As I slyly pushed the child away, I realized that this man was trying to forcibly keep the child at his side. That's why I decided to apprehend him. Fortunately, my suspicions were not invalidated... Colonel Tang, I found this hidden under this person's foot."

The woman took out a very small gun and handed it to Colonel Tang Pei. Seeing the gun, Xie Feng's eyes widened slightly and he murmured:

"That is..."

Colonel Tang Pei's eyes flashed coldly as he held the gun:

"To think that these terrorists could obtain these weapons..." Tang Pei looked at the woman and nodded in satisfaction, "Good job. If it wasn't for your keen sense this person probably would have successfully escaped since these weapons are undetectable."

"It's nothing. After all, I'm a mother too." Saying these words, the woman in a military nurse's outfit looked at the woman who was crying in relief while hugging a small child.

"I'm sorry, this is my fault." Yin Yue approached Xie Feng and whispered in a low voice, "I was supposed to inspect the economic area but I didn't notice anything wrong, which caused this person to successfully slip."

"No, it's not your fault.... It's my fault." Xie Feng shook his head and patted Yin Yue's shoulder lightly.

"If I really wanted to, I had the ability to know if this person or someone else had slipped in among the passengers. But I was negligent. After making sure that the people important to me would be safe no matter what happens, I ignored the rest of the passengers."

Xie Feng whispered quietly enough so that only Yin Yue could hear him.

Yin Yue did not notice the slightest regret in Xie Feng's words and when she looked at him she saw that his gaze continued to be indifferent.

With a complicated look, Yin Yue gave Xie Feng a complex smile, "Although I don't know how strong you really are, after everything I saw today I know that you are someone powerful, Xie Feng. But, precisely because you are powerful, I think you should also do what is in your power."

"Why should I?" Xie Feng questioned indifferently, "Everyone is responsible for themselves. The one who goes hungry is because they are unwilling to work since nowadays, many food centers throw away food in perfect condition..... The one who is bullied or beaten is because they are weak. Is it my fault? Why should I help them?"

"I am not saying that." Yin Yue shook her head and looked at Xie Feng like an older sister accusing her younger brother, "I don't mean that you should help everyone. But look, this little boy is only about 5 or 6 years old, what could he do? Nothing! What I mean is, if you can, I think it would be good for you to help little kids who don't have enough power since they haven't lived long enough to have the ability to protect themselves."

After saying that, Yin Yue gave Xie Feng a small smile and said nothing more.

On the other hand, Xie Feng was thinking about Yin Yue's words carefully.

Although he did not know what decision he would make in the end, Xie Feng realized that he had grown up a lot as person. After all, at the age of only 20, it was normal for Xie Feng to have doubts or to realize that his behavior could perhaps improve a little more.

"I'm sorry, but the appearance of this weapon is more important than it seems so I must report this directly to the main government." Colonel Tang Pei approached with a serious look on his face.

"I really don't understand what goes on in some people's heads." A flash of coldness crossed Colonel Tang Pei's eyes, then, he looked at Xie Feng and said, "Major Wang will take you all to the place where the False Stars Plan will be carried out in my position."

After saying that, Colonel Tang Pei seemed to be in a real hurry as he immediately turned around and got into a military vehicle before leaving.

After several minutes, the few hundred passengers were carefully inspected and those who were injured received professional medical treatment.

"Everyone! Follow me this way. Soon you can leave, there is only one more thing to do."

Without waiting for answers, Major Wang turned around and started walking towards the interior of the base, but not before giving Xie Feng a glance.

'You'd better not make things difficult for me soon...'
