The male supporting role was captured by the protagonist after his rebirth
Chapter 56 The Night Before
Far away in the Code Bar in the Jiangnan region, it is still as crowded and bustling as ever.
The lights flickered, the music was deafening, and the air was filled with the smell of alcohol and perfume. Every corner of the bar was full of vitality, where people released their daily stress and enjoyed a rare carnival in the end of the world.
In front of the bar, the bartender skillfully mixes various cocktails. Each cocktail is like a work of art, attracting the attention of customers.
The waiters moved among the crowd; their smiles and enthusiastic service added a touch of warmth to the bar, and everything seemed as prosperous as before the end of the world.
On the dance floor, the crowd swayed to the rhythm of the music, their figures flickering under the lights.
"Come on! Drink! Lao Liao, keep drinking."
In the booth in the corner, several young men in casual clothes were drinking enthusiastically. They had relaxed smiles on their faces, but their eyes revealed a hint of dissatisfaction and jealousy.
"Your captain is too unreasonable. He has never taken you with him on so many missions, but only took that kid named Zhang!"
One of the men said indignantly, his voice standing out above the noise in the bar.
The people at the table nodded one after another, obviously dissatisfied with what he called the captain's partiality.
"Yeah, I, Liao Honglei, am no pushover, so why can't I compare to that guy named Zhang?"
Another tall and strong man echoed, with a hint of provocation and dissatisfaction in his tone.
He glared at me and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, as if trying to use the alcohol to dilute the unhappiness in his heart.
Although the atmosphere in the bar was lively, their conversation revealed a hint of tension and uneasiness.
A man with a feminine face patted Liao Honglei on the shoulder and advised: "Old Liao, drink less. You still have to go on duty at night."
"Chunyu, stop trying to persuade me. I know you're not feeling well either." Liao Honglei shook his head, opened a bottle of beer, and gulped it down.
His actions seemed a bit rude, as if he was using this method to vent his dissatisfaction and depression.
Bai Chunyu sighed. He knew that Liao Honglei had a stubborn personality and once he made up his mind, it would be difficult for him to change his mind.
He patted Liao Honglei's back gently and said nothing more. He just accompanied him silently and immersed himself in the hustle and bustle of the night together.
"Deputy Captain Bai, you should drink too! It's rare for us to have time to get together, so we should all enjoy ourselves."
Sitting opposite the two of them was a handsome man with a middle-parted hairstyle. He had a smile on his face and kept handing them wine.
There was a sly glint in his eyes, and he seemed to be enjoying this relaxed atmosphere.
He is a member of the Samsara Team and Gao Changkong's subordinate, Ji Yushen.
Ji Yushen's movements were skilled and natural, and each time he handed the wine, it was just right, appearing neither overly enthusiastic nor indifferent.
His presence was like a harmonizer for the night, livening up the dull atmosphere.
Bai Chunyu shook his head, lifted his shoulder-length hair, and said indifferently: "No, I don't drink."
Ji Yushen did not feel embarrassed. There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. His eyes moved back and forth between Liao Honglei and Chunyu, as if he was looking for a topic to make the atmosphere more harmonious.
"Deputy Captain Bai, I heard that you grew up in the Deng family with your captain since you were a child?" Ji Yushen picked up the goblet with a few fingers and shook it, saying casually.
Bai Chunyu gave him a strange look and said, "Yes, what's the problem? Why are you asking this?"
Ji Yu Shenzhuang sighed casually and said, "Alas, I feel sorry for you and Lao Liao!"
There was a hint of teasing in his voice, as if hinting at something.
Bai Chunyu paused tapping the table with his fingers, and said expressionlessly, "What do you mean?"
"Hey, don't get me wrong."
Ji Yushen raised his hands and said with a smile: "I just feel that you two are old people around Deng Shentong. Now that Zhang Yi is here, how many missions have you followed him on?"
His questions were direct and sharp, seeming to challenge Bai Chunyu's bottom line.
Bai Chunyu was silent for a moment, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
He knew there was something else behind Ji Yushen's words, but he didn't intend to discuss it. He responded calmly: "Task allocation is the captain's business, we just need to obey orders."
After hearing this, Ji Yushen's smile deepened. He didn't seem surprised by Bai Chunyu's answer. He gently put down the wine glass, with a shrewd light in his eyes, as if waiting for Bai Chunyu's next reaction.
"If I remember correctly, that Zhang Yi was just a nominal deputy captain?" Ji Yushen sneered, "But now I feel like the entire Tianshen team combined is no match for him alone?"
"He lives openly at the Deng family's house and takes him with him wherever he goes. Your captain treasures him very much!"
Ji Yushen continued speaking, his voice full of teasing and provocation, as if trying to stir up the emotions of Bai Chunyu and Liao Honglei.
"boom!"
Liao Honglei suddenly put the wine bottle on the table with force. His action was sudden and violent, and the wine bottle collided with the table with a dull sound, interrupting Ji Yushen's words.
There was a flash of anger in his eyes, and he was obviously dissatisfied with Ji Yushen's provocation.
"Ji Yushen! You passed."
Bai Chunyu's eyes also turned cold. He looked at Ji Yushen, his tone calm but with an unquestionable coldness:
"Ji Yushen, are you trying to sow discord? We have all seen Zhang Yi's abilities and contributions. The captain's decision certainly has its reasons, and as team members, we should support it unconditionally."
Ji Yushen was somewhat embarrassed by Liao Honglei's actions and Bai Chunyu's response.
He smiled awkwardly, trying to ease the atmosphere: "Hey, I'm just joking, don't take it seriously. Come on, let's drink."
He raised his glass and tried to change the subject, but the flicker in his eyes revealed his ulterior motives.
This little episode did not last long, and in the cheerful atmosphere of the bar, several people started drinking one drink after another.
The music started again, the lights flickered, the laughter and conversation of the crowd mixed together, and the night gradually deepened.
……
In the dark room, Gao Changkong suddenly opened his eyes. Although he was lying on the bed, he was neatly wearing combat uniform.
His eyes seemed unusually sharp in the dim light, as if they could penetrate the darkness of the night.
The woman lying next to him also sat up, her long black hair hanging down like a waterfall, and she was already fully dressed.
"Ding dong!"
The doorbell rang suddenly, followed by a man's voice: "Captain, it's me, Ji Yushen."
