Chapter 052: Warmth and Comfort
Anna accompanied Yang Fan to the bar on the top floor of the hotel, and the two of them each ordered a non-alcoholic drink. This is the custom of Group B, and it is absolutely forbidden to drink alcohol during the mission, except for special needs.
Anna sat next to Yang Fan, looked at Yang Fan with a tired face, and asked softly, "What's wrong?" Still thinking about South Africa? β
"Well, yes." Yang Fan nodded.
At the moment, his mind is very chaotic, since joining T3, he must have killed more than four figures, but that is all for the mission. Moreover, in his heart, everyone he killed was a "bad person", so he had never felt such a strong sense of guilt.
He always remembered what Thomas had said, that mercenaries were just a way of life that he had no choice but to choose in order to achieve his goals, not life itself.
Killing Li Shipeng and Mao Yunfei made Yang Fan feel for the first time that his life was for revenge and killing.
Although he had enough reasons to kill them, Yang Fan seemed to feel the pleasure of killing the enemy, and he was actually a little obsessed with that feeling.
Thomas has said that the feeling of being able to control the life and death of others through power on the battlefield is addictive. This pleasure can also slowly erode a person's heart, making them like that feeling, and never again being able to leave the only battlefield that can provide them with all this.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan felt an inexplicable fear in his heart. He picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp, and the bartender consciously poured another glass for him.
Anna took Yang Fan in her arms and said softly: "Yang Fan, you did nothing wrong!" Although you killed Li Shipeng and Mao Yunfei today, no one will blame you. I understand very well that they are the kind of people who will not be bound and sanctioned by the law in Huaxia.
Just because you kill them doesn't mean you have violence inside. On the contrary, I feel that it is precisely your sense of justice. If I were me, I would do the same thing. I think even if it were Thomas, he would have made the same choice! β
Yang Fan nodded slightly, in his heart, Anna will always be the one who knows him best.
Anna always knew what Yang Fan cared about most, and she was always able to comfort him when he needed it most. Let him feel the warmth that melts everything in the coldest moments of his heart, a feeling that the brothers in Group B can't bring him.
The brothers brought him strength, and Anna brought hope to Yang Fan! They are all the people Yang Fan is most grateful for, and they are his greatest dependence on survival.
Yang Fan leaned on Anna's arms with peace of mind, he felt very safe and steady at the moment, and said softly: "In my heart, there are countless reasons to convince me that I should kill them. I didn't feel guilty, I felt fear. I'm scared, I'm really scared to be the kind of person who is obsessed with killing. Today, I do feel the thrill of killing, and I'm afraidβ"
"No, it's not!"
Anna held Yang Fan's cheeks with both hands and said, "That's not the pleasure of killing!" That's just the relief you feel when you finally avenged your adoptive father and killed the murderer who directly framed your family.
That's just a release, and this repression has been building up in your heart for too long, and you need to release them. It's just that the way you release is by killing those two enemies, so you won't be obsessed with that feeling.
Yang Fan, I understand you. Even today, if there was a better way to make sure they wouldn't hurt anyone else, you wouldn't pull the trigger. You are a kind person, and the gene of kindness has long been deeply rooted in your heart, which will never change! β
Yang Fan could read from Anna's eyes that she cared about him, he couldn't bear to see Anna working hard for her own business, held Anna's hands, smiled slightly, and said gratefully: "Anna, I know." I'm not that vulnerable, there's a lot of work to do, and I'm not going to fall for that! β
Anna nodded and said, "I believe in you, you've done a good job. Since becoming a mercenary, you have overcome so many physical and psychological hardships to get to where you are today, and I have full confidence in you.
As for what Li Shipeng mentioned, you can never get rid of the fate of being at the mercy of others, which makes no sense. No one else, no one, would have survived the Thailand incident.
And you, not only survived, but also became the core force to stop the genetic weapons project, you have rewritten your fate! Yang Fan, I'm proud of you! In my heart, you are a hero and a miracle! β
"Thank you, Anna."
Yang Fan held Anna in his arms and hugged him tightly, and at this moment he felt that he had the strength to fight against everything.
He suddenly let go of Anna and said, "Anna, I want to rest for a while after this mission." Let's go to San Diego together and see our house, shall we? β
"Our house?" Anna nodded and said, "Okay, let's take a look at our house together." β
The two chatted for a while, and Anna saw Yang Yan walking into the bar and was looking at their location.
Anna said hello to Yang Yan, then stood up and whispered in Yang Fan's ear: "You have a good chat with your sister, I'll go back to the room and wait for you first!" β
Anna nodded to Yang Yan and left the bar.
Yang Yan walked over and sat in Anna's place, and casually said to the bartender: "Please give me a glass of wine that is the same as the lady just now!" β
The usher nodded and handed the drink to Yang Yan.
Yang Yan rotated the wine glass on the table slightly embarrassed, was silent for a moment, and said softly: "What's the matter, are you still angry with your sister?" β
"No, of course not!" Yang Fan hurriedly said.
Yang Fan didn't blame Yang Yan, in that case, only people who really cared would react like that to their actions. He knew that he had always been the kind of honest person in his sister's heart, and his sister slapped him because she saw Yang Fan's excessive actions.
In fact, instead of blaming his sister, he felt very happy to be cared for.
Yang Yan picked up the water cup, took a sip, and said leisurely: "Xiaofan, do you know, since I joined the Guardian, I have also killed many people. But I have never killed for my own ends.
The master said that you must not fall into the thrill of killing. So, I'm just todayβ"
"I know, sister."
Yang Fan smiled and said, "Actually, some people have said these things to me. I've always been afraid I'm going to fall into that kind of temptation, but I won't! Because I will not forget what I have been taught!
Sister, you believe me, no matter what I do, I am still that little fan! Kind little fan! I will not live up to my father's expectations for me, and I will return to Huaxia to honor my mother! β
Yang Yan was very pleased, she also took Yang Fan into her arms, and said softly: "Xiaofan, of course my sister believes in you." We are relatives, no matter what you do, my sister will not blame you, let alone give up on you. Seeing you so mature, my sister is really relieved.
Xiaofan, don't be affected by Li Shipeng's words. Sister knows that you have to be strong since you were a child, there is nothing wrong with this, manly, you just need this kind of blood! In this regard, you are very similar to Dad!
You have all been fighting for our home and want to make our lives better! Sister believes that you will be able to achieve your desired goal through your own efforts! β
"Thank you, sister."
Yang Fan felt extremely satisfied at the moment, he was content to be able to get the understanding and love of Anna and his sister. Even if he was about to die tomorrow, he had no regrets.
Yang Yan smiled faintly and said, "Xiao Fan." You are really lucky that when you are questioned, those brothers of yours can go out of their way to defend you and protect you. Such a person is worth cherishing.
Sister knows that you have suffered a lot of grievances when you were in Huaxia before, if Huaxia could have more such people. Maybe ......"
Yang Fan sighed lightly and said, "Sister, this kind of affection may only be obtained under certain circumstances." For more than two years, I have lived and died with these brothers, and everyone can give their lives for each other. How can this kind of feeling be obtained in those fake workplaces in Huaxia!
When facing the test of life and death, you will want to be as strong as possible with the people around you! Because that way, your chances of survival will be better too! That's why I have to train hard. They are all my brothers, my loved ones, and I will never let them be harmed in any way. I can't let them get hurt because of me!
But in the workplace! Hehe, too many people are just indiscriminate, and those people who are in high positions and hold real power, they naturally like some people who are sloppy.
In order to please the people above, they don't want the people around them to be stronger than themselves, but whenever you show a little bit of surpassing them, you will become the target of their attacks, everyone wants the people around them to be inferior to themselves, it's really funny. That's the difference! In the Chinese workplace, how can there be any feelings! β
Yang Yan nodded silently, she knew Yang Fan, knew the grievances Yang Fan had suffered in Huaxia, and she could guess what he had suffered in T3.
She suddenly remembered something, looked at Yang Fan, blinked, and asked, "Xiaofan, you tell my sister, are you and Anna ...... I think she really knows you.
Originally, I thought that today's events would be a big blow to you, but she was able to enlighten you, which proves that she always knows what you are thinking, and she must be very concerned about you.
Xiaofan, we don't have that kind of cheesy person in our family, you can't dislike Anna's background. Such a good girl, you must grasp it! β
"Sister, this is the second time you've asked me. You can rest assured, these years of life have made me understand who is worth cherishing, and I will not miss it again! Yang Fan said firmly.
Yang Yan patted Yang Fan's shoulder and said, "Well, I knew that my brother could do it." But ......"
Yang Yan hesitated for a moment, and then said, "That Ouyang Jing, in fact, I think she seems to care about you very much." Xiaofan, women are still more sensitive to this kind of thing. Hey, forget it, forget it, let's talk about it later......"
Yang Fan's eyes rolled, and he changed the topic and said, "Sister, what about you?" After so many years, you don't have someone you like? If so, you must tell me, and I want to see who is worthy of my sister!" β
Yang Yan stretched out her hand and patted Yang Fan's head, and said sharply: "I haven't seen you for a few years, you are bold!" Sister's business, parents don't dare to ask, when will it be your turn to take care of it! β
At the mention of Yang Lin and Liu Wen, Yang Yan showed a sad look on her face, she didn't want Yang Fan to think of those things anymore, so she got up and said, "Okay, Xiaofan." You should rest early, too! Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, there may be a fierce battle, you have to keep your spirits up. Remember, no matter what you encounter, Sister has your back! β
"Thank you! Sister, you should rest early. β
Yang Fan watched Yang Yan leave the bar, and he continued to stare at the door of the bar, as if he was still waiting for someone to appear. Then he lowered his head again, drank the wine in his glass, and returned to his room.
In order to comfort Yang Fan, Anna specially stayed in Yang Fan's room. The two hugged each other and slept together, Yang Fan's wish had never changed, he only hoped that he would always hold Anna like this, even if he would never wake up again.
