Chapter 1401 - 1402: I Let You Down
Liu Jianguo pointed at the large photo in the newspaper, speaking with indignation.
"A Chinese female university student was bullied by more than a dozen men in Luoshanji."
"These guys tortured her to death, and it has now sparked public outrage. Look at this, how pitiful the girl is."
Yang Fei snatched the newspaper and examined the photo closely.
In the photo, a female corpse was wrapped in a white cloth, only her pale face exposed.
Her eyes were wide open, filled with the panic and fear of a startled Little Deer, and her face expressed utter despair.
Seeing the girl's face, Yang Fei's mind exploded, his voice trembling.
"Wha... what's this victim's name?"
Liu Jianguo pointed to a spot in the newspaper, letting out a long sigh.
"She shares my surname, named Liu Zhengxiang, a former student of Jinghua University, who just went to Luoshanji last year."
"A student from Capital University, named Liu Zhengxiang... Xiang'er..."
Yang Fei only felt his head buzzing, as if hammers pounding repeatedly on his head.
In memory, that talented yet shy little girl seemed to reappear in his mind.
She hugged thick English books, hiding behind her brother Liu Zhengfeng.
She seemed like a timid Little Deer, curiously and shyly glancing at Yang Fei, like a beautiful sensitive plant...
And now, this beautiful sensitive plant had become a cold corpse.
Her wide-open eyes expressed endless attachment to the world, and vibrant vitality, but now they turned into dead black and white.
"Zhengfeng, I'm sorry, Xiang'er is gone, I didn't take good care of her."
The newspaper in Yang Fei's hand fluttered down, and he slumped weakly to the ground.
He buried his head in his arms, his body shaking violently, tears falling like rain.
Liu Zhengfeng, nicknamed Leng Feng, was the number 2 sniper in the Evil Dragon Special Combat Team.
In the battle in the Amazon jungle, Leng Feng was hit by the enemy's sniper while covering the squad's retreat, and he now rests forever in a foreign jungle.
Liu Zhengfeng died in the jungle.
When Yang Fei and others found his body, bloodily scrawled on the hem of his military uniform were three words: Take care of Xiang...
This Xiang, Yang Fei naturally knew, was Liu Zhengfeng's sister Liu Zhengxiang.
To fulfill his comrade's dying wish, Yang Fei once found Liu Zhengfeng's family and learned that Liu Zhengfeng's family background was quite unusual.
Liu Zhengfeng's father, Liu Hanlou, was the executive director of a major domestic consortium, and his mother was the deputy general manager of a certain state-owned enterprise in the East China region.
Such a wealthy family, Liu Zhengfeng's sacrifice was undoubtedly a heavy blow to his parents.
The grieving and angry Liu Hanlou hit Yang Fei, and Yang Fei, filled with guilt, took the beating and was eventually driven out by Liu Hanlou.
Afterward, Yang Fei stayed a little longer, observing Liu Zhengxiang's whereabouts.
He saw that wherever Liu Zhengxiang went, she was protected by bodyguards, displaying an air of a young lady, and only then was he relieved enough to leave for Yannan, where he found Sister Xueyi.
However, Yang Fei never thought that in just one year, he would see Liu Zhengxiang again in such a way!
Yang Fei sat on the ground, his head buried in his chest, tears flowing down like a flood.
Remorse and pain, like wild beasts, tore at his heart.
He never imagined that the cherished Little Princess, Xiangxiang, would end up alone in Luoshanji.
He also never thought that such a beautiful and kind girl would suffer such a fate!
Liu Jianguo was shocked by Yang Fei's abnormal behavior.
In his impression, Yang Fei was a tough hero who never shed tears, yet now he was crying like a tearful child. What was going on?
Liu Jianguo gently approached and asked Yang Fei.
"Brother Fei, do you know the victimized girl?"
Yang Fei wiped away his tears, nodded, picked up the newspaper, and strode off into the distance.
Liu Jianguo was startled: "Brother Fei, where are you going?"
From far away, Yang Fei's voice came.
"Director Liu, forgive me. Today's inspection ends here. I have an urgent matter to handle. Goodbye!"
Liu Jianguo worried about Yang Fei and shouted out loud.
"Do you need me to send you a car? I can see you're in a very bad mood."
Yang Fei waved his hand, his figure blurred, disappearing into the distance.
That evening, Yang Fei received a satellite call from Old Master Wang.
Yang Fei answered, but the voice coming through the phone was from a stranger, a middle-aged man.
"Is that Yang Fei? I'm Liu Zhengfeng's father, Liu Hanlou."
"I found you through Old Master Wang, going through great trouble, all for the sake of my daughter, Liu Zhengxiang..."
At this point, Liu Zhengfeng's voice suddenly became hoarse, wounded and unable to continue.
Yang Fei gently said, "Uncle Liu, I've seen the news about Xiangxiang in the newspapers."
"Rest assured, I'll take care of this matter. I won't overlook anything that Zhengfeng would have done."
"Yang Fei..."
Liu Hanlou's emotions were complicated, his voice rough and hoarse.
Yang Fei comforted Liu Hanlou a few words and finally said fiercely.
"Blood for blood. I will avenge Xiangxiang's blood debt a hundredfold. Please rest assured, Uncle Liu."
After hanging up, Yang Fei connected to the Changfeng Squad's local communication channel.
He lightly said, "Attention everyone, emergency assembly. Gather in two minutes at Helen Palace Meeting Room #3."
Two minutes later, Yang Fei was already waiting for everyone in Meeting Room #3.
Everyone arrived on time, except for Cui Xiang, who was late.
Cui Xiang waddled up with his big belly, panting heavily at the meeting room door.
"Report!"
Yang Fei coldly asked, "Reason for being late. You have thirty seconds to explain."
Cui Xiang helplessly said.
"This big house is too large, I got dizzy wandering around, and if it weren't for Lord Dan, I wouldn't have found my way here."
The innocent Dan Dan poked his head out from behind Cui Xiang, giving a proud smile.
"Yes, I can testify."
Everyone burst into laughter, and Yang Fei shook his head with resignation, allowing Cui Xiang to enter.
Dan Dan also hopped into the meeting room, bowing deeply to Yang Fei: "Hello, Boss."
Yang Fei kept a stern face and snorted.
"I'm not in a good mood today, so if you don't want me to beat you up, keep your mouth shut."
Dan Dan obediently sealed his lips and sat quietly aside.
Yang Fei took out The Times and recounted the atrocity that occurred in Luoshanji.
Mad Blade and Fan Yi were both shocked and angry, and the other team members were equally outraged, discussing fervently.
"Damn it, how can such a thing happen in the world!"
"Bastards, blood for blood, smash the Karate dojo!"
"Chief Instructor, just give the word, and we'll take them down."
...
Yang Fei waved his hand, halting everyone's words.
"This operation is a purely private mission, not a group operation."
"There's no bounty, and it's extremely dangerous, so everyone is free to choose whether or not to participate. Mad Blade, Fan Yi, and I will sign up first."
