Jiang Xiaowen rarely saw Si Cizhan so angry. Seeing him attacking frequently, he was really worried that Si Cizhan might lose control and kill someone. He thought to himself that it was a good thing that he followed him!

Si Ci Zhan grabbed the man's collar and lifted him up along with the chair. The man had difficulty breathing because of his clothes, but he was not strangled to death. His face, which had turned pale with fear just now, slowly turned red again.

Si Cizhan's eyes were fierce. If he hadn't remembered that he was wearing a military uniform and was aware of his job, he might have really taken action. But he restrained himself and continued to question with almost furious emotion, "In a few years, will you be kings and emperors in Forbidden City? Will your sons and daughters also be in Forbidden City! In this country where the people are the masters! In this socialist country, will you be the crown princes and princesses, tyrannical and domineering?!"

With a bang, he threw the man to the ground. Jiang Xiaowen was startled and hurried to pick up the man and the chair. He found that the man's forehead was bruised by the ground. Upon closer inspection, it was just a minor scratch.

He glanced at Si Cizhan and said, "Don't be angry. You're yelling so loudly, and you'll probably have to write a thousand-word apology soon."

Si Cizhan's action was not considered a private execution, but his actions and words were a bit intense. It did not really violate military regulations, but he had to write a self-criticism just to set an example.

This was not something that could be solved by simply asking the commander for leave. Moreover, they had taken the initiative to submit a letter of self-criticism after asking for leave in order to find Jiang Yan.

Si Cizhan's breathing became heavier due to his unstable emotions, and his words were a little muffled: "I know."

The man who was helped up spit at Si Cizhan with a "Puh" sound, then taunted him:

"Why not? My family built the empire, so we, the younger generation, should enjoy the good life!"

This was the only reason he had from the beginning to the end. Si Ci Zhan didn't know what he was thinking about, but he suddenly laughed again. Jiang Xiaowen saw that the face that was always praised for its beauty and handsomeness showed an extremely sarcastic smile, which actually seemed a little bad.

Feeling that his brother wasn't so upright at the moment, Jiang Xiaowen quickly patted the man on the chair on the head. Even if his brother was evil, he was being evil in a righteous way.

"Stop your quibbling. Even if you really enjoyed conquering the world, did you conquer it? Even if Mr. Xu is a veteran, he is a veteran made up of countless people's soldiers. Why should a scum like you enjoy the benefits? The people are the ones who deserve the benefits!"

Si Cizhan seemed to have calmed down after he laughed in anger. He sat down again and said:

"During the war, throughout all the operations, no matter how arduous the battle, the soldiers back then prioritized protecting those above them and getting out first. This peace was achieved with the blood and bones of tens of millions of people, and it was never the work of any one person or organization."

"I suddenly remembered something I should tell you." His voice was calmer than ever, even to a degree that was familiar to Jiang Xiaowen, just like... just like his sister, as if she had become emotionless. Jiang Xiaowen glanced at Si Cizhan and found that his eyes seemed to be red.

Jiang Xiaowen was horrified and stepped aside without saying anything. He even decided that even if Si Cizhan attacked again later, he would not stop him.

This man deserved to die, and Si Ci Zhan would not really kill him, but would just let him be beaten up and suffer a little.

"After helping Mr. Xu that year, my father asked me something when I returned home that I didn't understand at the time."

"He said to me, 'Why do you think the Si family betrayed their class?' At the time, I really didn't understand. I just thought they were wrongly accusing me. Now that I see you, I understand. I was wrong. In order to truly realize socialism and make 'the people are masters of their own country' a reality, some people should indeed step down from their current positions. The ideals of the older generation are the same, but each person believes the path to achieving that goal is different. Most of them are driven by their own personal ideas. Only a few people truly consider the masses, truly stand from that perspective, and even go so far as to treat and think of themselves as enemies of the people."

There was a hint of self-mockery in his words.

"The cleanup wasn't thorough enough, so after just a few years of opening, a cancer like you appeared. You deserve to die. Mr. Xu is doomed to lose his integrity in his later years because he has a son like you."

In fact, Jiang Xiaowen couldn't understand why Si Cizhan was so angry. The man had indeed committed a serious crime, but they had encountered life-and-death situations and uncovered even more serious crimes over the years.

After listening to his words which seemed like he was talking to himself but were actually self-reflection, Jiang Xiaowen finally understood, and finally figured out things that he had not figured out before.

They did a lot of things wrong, and they were once convinced that these mistakes were right.

It wasn't just Si Ci Zhan who took action back then; they all followed Si Ci Zhan.

But Jiang Xiaowen's understanding was not as profound as Si Cizhan's, and he was not the leader. At this moment, he knew that he had done something wrong and even became an obstacle to the original correct path. Jiang Xiaowen was indeed uncomfortable, but not to the extent of overturning his past.

Si Ci Zhan is different.

Si Cizhan is the leader among them, shouldering more responsibilities. He personally rescued the people of the Xu family and now personally exposed their ugly faces.

What he had done was denied by himself and even led to big mistakes.

Jiang Xiaowen is now certain that the matter of Xu Lao's son was personally sent to Si Cizhan and him by someone from above, so that they would realize how big a mistake they had made back then.

During the war, people shed blood and tears for the country, and later on, people also suffered for the country. Among those who were rescued by them, how many of them seemed to have gone through a bloody journey and should have been sincere and fought for the ideals of the country and the organization, but in fact they enriched themselves?

After Si Cizhan finished speaking, he sat in his chair with his eyes downcast, silent for a long time. "I was terribly wrong. This land is covered in the blood of the people. Only now do I truly understand why the people are great and why we say, 'Long live the people.'"

"You can rest assured to die. As an old senior, there will naturally be someone to take care of you."

The man was about to continue mocking Si Ci Zhan, but Jiang Xiaowen quickly covered his mouth and knocked him unconscious.

After a while, Si Cizhan got up and left, and Jiang Xiaowen followed him.

By the time the two of them had dealt with some accumulated military affairs and finished writing their self-reviews and submitted them, it was already dark.

But it’s only a little after six o’clock, so it’s not too late.

I should have gone home after get off work, had dinner, and returned to the dormitory, but at this moment Si Cizhan said:

"Today is the weekend, I should go see Jiang Yan."

Jiang Xiaowen: “?”

"No need. Yanyan is very smart. She could guess that there was a mission even without us going."

Si Cizhan insisted, "I'll go take a look."

Because of the mission of protecting Mr. Codename in Xiaoyu City, they did not need a leave note to leave the army during this period.

Si Cizhan said as he headed towards the main gate of the army. Jiang Xiaowen sighed and was about to call out to him, but then he shut up again.

"Okay, then. I won't go so late at night! If you do see my sister, tell her."

He suddenly realized that Si Ci Zhan might not really want to go and see how his sister was doing, but was just looking for an excuse to be alone for a while.

In the army, you never know when a private might come looking for the captain.

Si Ci Zhan really wanted to be alone for a while, but he also really wanted to see Jiang Yan today.

He knew that if he could survive past midnight, he would give up the idea of ​​meeting Jiang Yan, but he still chose the former.

He might be calmer around someone like Jiang Yan who didn't have many emotional ups and downs, and he also wanted to talk to her.

Talk about what he did when he was a child and what happened today.

He always seemed to be wrong. No wonder his father Si Xiao stopped caring about him from that year on and only set rules for him not to break the law.

Different road non-phase plan.

So how much significance has his actions had over the years? If he had not taken action back then, would the people in the country who are like Xu Lao's sons now not be able to be in their organization?

Has his ideal socialism already arrived long ago, or has it even begun to move towards the communist era?

Si Ci Zhan didn't know the answer.

When he arrived in Liufeng City and stood in the community, it was already past one in the morning.

The light in the second bedroom was off, indicating that Song Yuwei was already asleep.

The light in Jiang Yan's master bedroom was also dim. Si Cizhan pursed his lips and looked up at the window, slightly pulling the corners of his mouth. No matter how much he hoped that the light in the window would light up, it was of no use.

It was a very cold night. He stood downstairs for almost half an hour before finally moving his feet which were too cold to feel the warmth.

The moment he started moving, the blood flow throughout his body seemed to start as well. He felt his legs were numb from standing, and the cold made his movements a little slow.

After taking two steps, there seemed to be some light behind him. Si Cizhan looked back and found that the light in Jiang Yan's bedroom was on.

Without thinking too much, he walked out from the dark, climbed up the stairs using special means, and went straight to Jiang Yan's window.

Jiang Yan had just sat down at the desk when she heard some movement at the window. She turned around and saw Si Ci Zhan sitting on the windowsill looking at her.

A hint of doubt slowly appeared on her face, and then she said:

"Come down and half-close the window."

……

The room was shrouded in dim light and was very quiet. Only Jiang Yan was writing on the paper. She seemed very busy.

But she was obviously not busy with her studies. Si Ci Zhan knew that she was probably busy with their new research on spatial force.

Si Cizhan shouldn't have disturbed her, but he still couldn't help it. From the time he entered the room until now, almost ten minutes had passed, and Jiang Yan ignored him.

He said aloud:

"Aren't you going to ask me why I'm here now?"

One second, two seconds... one minute passed, and Jiang Yan didn't even look at him.

Si Ci Zhan sat down on the floor against the cabinet with a look of frustration. He looked up at Jiang Yan's serious profile under the light and laughed at himself in his heart.

Knowing her personality well, coming to her at this time is really asking for trouble.

Instead of hoping to get comfort from Jiang Yan, it would be better to let him calm down alone.

But he didn't leave. He just sat there quietly and waited for more than ten minutes before reaching out and grabbing Jiang Yan's left arm, saying:

"What do you want me to do to make you pay attention to me and listen to me?"

Jiang Yan paused, put down the pen, and turned to look at him: "I've been listening, you should get straight to the point."

The expression on Si Cizhan's face was a little different today. Because in the past, he had often been seen with an expression as expressionless as himself, so the change on his face at this moment was easy to notice.

Jiang Yan looked at him carefully, but couldn't figure out his current state. She only half-guessed and asked, "Do you want to cry?"

Si Cizhan was stunned for a moment by the question, then let go of his hand: "It's not that serious, I just ran into some trouble, and I want to hear your thoughts."

Jiang Yan flexed her left hand and turned her chair to face him. Seeing him sitting on the ground in his military uniform, he had obviously come straight from the army without changing into anything. She asked, "Aren't you cold? You can sit on the bed."

"It's not cold." How could Si Cizhan possibly sit on her bed? "If you did something wrong, something that would affect the future of many people, what would you do?"
