No wonder she disliked the Bright Base, no wonder she refused to return...
So, there was still someone here waiting for her.
But what of it?
For the past half a year, they had been together almost every day. He didn't believe Xu Qian's feelings were insincere.
Xiang Jintian forced a strained, ugly smile.
"A Bai, she's mine."
Mei Yuebai felt a surge of heat rush to his head, and his mind spun.
"Xiang Jintian!! Have you no shame? I was already with her two years ago! We just separated, not broke up!"
The crowd, terrified, scrambled out of the control room. Aside from the Sunrise Team, no one dared to face Mei Yuebai's fury.
Xiang Jintian felt as if he'd been doused with a basin of cold water from head to toe, his body numb.
He suppressed the pain in his chest and asked, his voice trembling, "Then where have you been for the past half a year?"
Mei Yuebai froze. For a year, he had been unconscious; she didn't know where she had gone.
A year later, the Bright Base needed him...
Xiang Jintian closed his eyes, his voice hoarse. "During this time, she and I went through life and death, destroying the X Group across various regions.
You and she might have had feelings before, but now? A Bai, people change."
Mei Yuebai chuckled mockingly in his chest, each word spat out through gritted teeth:
"I... do... not... believe... you."
"You," he commanded, "hurry up and send people to find her according to the coordinates, immediately!!"
Everyone looked at Mei Yuebai with concern. The worst had happened.
His body had not yet fully recovered, and he couldn't withstand extreme joy or sorrow.
Gu Qing endured for a moment before speaking, "Commander Xiang, Sister Qian and Brother Yue Bai's relationship is very good. We were on the same team at the Hope Base.
Later, when Brother Yue Bai was injured, he returned to City A for treatment. After we recovered, we returned to the Hope Base to look for Sister Qian, but on the same day, Sister Qian also disappeared. We searched for her for a long time."
Xiang Jintian clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hands.
"That was your past. She and I are the present."
"Xiang Jintian!"
A flicker of madness crossed Mei Yuebai's eyes. He drew the gun from his waist and was about to pull the trigger.
Cheng Liangqing's eyes narrowed, and he lunged forward, snatching the handgun away.
"Mei Yuebai! Wake up, he's Commander Xiang."
With a "bang," a shot rang out.
The bullet grazed the man's shoulder.
Mei Yuebai's face was pale, his lips devoid of color.
He couldn't calm down.
"So what if he's Xiang Jintian? He still stole my woman!"
Xiang Jintian's face was ashen. He said sternly, "Mei Yuebai, I taught you how to use guns and cannons to attack me?"
Setting Xu Qian aside, they had known each other for nearly 15 years. They were mentor and friend. From a scrawny child to a man, all the skills he possessed were taught by him.
He felt he had given his all, and even for Xu Qian's sake, he was heartbroken.
Mei Yuebai hunched over, panting heavily.
He closed his eyes slightly, concealing the scarlet in his gaze.
He lowered his head, taking a long while to recover.
His voice choked with emotion, he said, "Uncle Xiang, I truly... love her very much."
He was genuinely afraid, afraid that Xu Qian would abandon him.
Xiang Jintian's heart trembled slightly, and he sighed.
A Bai had been strong since childhood. He had never seen him so dejected.
Xiang Jintian's gaze was deep. He stepped forward and patted his shoulder.
"Let's wait until we find her to talk about everything."
Mei Yuebai's eyes were red-rimmed, and he quietly agreed.
Suddenly, a soldier ran in, saying hurriedly, "Commander Xiang, we found a large amount of experimental materials related to the X Group on the cargo plane."
Xiang Jintian's heart skipped a beat, his palms beginning to tremble slightly.
"Take me there."
