Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1266: Chapter 1266: They Won’t Guard Against Me

He Ming’s eyes rolled around as he glanced at his surroundings, then he whispered in Tang Jun’s ear, "Bro, when are we going to make a move?"

"You find a way to create chaos, and I’ll head over to Yuan Yu’s place later." Tang Jun reminded him again and again.

"Bro, don’t worry, I’ve thought it all out. Jiang Liu’s men will sneak in quietly. When the chaos erupts, we’ll definitely be able to get out safely," He Ming assured.

"But how are you going to find Yuan Yu?" He Ming looked at Tang Jun worriedly.

"Bro, don’t act recklessly," He Ming warned, saying, "Bro, let’s wait a little longer until it’s foolproof. There’s no harm in biding our time."

"Xiao Ming, do you not trust me?"

Tang Jun turned to question him.

With the light behind him, his face was cast in shadow. He Ming swallowed hard, wanting to say it wasn’t that he didn’t trust Tang Jun, it’s just that Tang Jun’s eyes were the biggest issue. But when facing Tang Jun, he didn’t dare deny it at all, so he grinned and said, "I trust you, I do. But this needs careful planning."

He Ming added, "Bro, I know you want to rescue her quickly, but we really can’t rush this."

"An hour from now, find a way to get these people to make a scene. The bigger, the better. Ideally, have a fire accidentally start," Tang Jun whispered. They were professionally trained and spoke at such a low volume when chatting to avoid being overheard, sometimes even without moving their lips, they could say simple things.

"Bro, what about you?" He Ming looked at Tang Jun anxiously.

If Jiang Liu’s men didn’t make it in time, going ahead with the action would place both him and Tang Jun in danger.

He wasn’t scared for himself; with his skills, these people would find it hard to kill him.

But he worried about Tang Jun. Even if Tang Jun was quite capable now, he couldn’t hold out against so many people.

"How about I go find Yuan Yu and the others?" He Ming proposed, figuring creating chaos was relatively safer.

"How would you get out?" Tang Jun questioned back.

He Ming was speechless.

Tang Jun grinned, revealing perfectly white teeth, and said, "I can’t see. They won’t guard against a blind man."

"Bro, don’t say that. It’s just temporary blindness. Don’t listen to their nonsense," He Ming quickly explained, fearing Tang Jun might be mentally affected by those words.

"Do you think I’d be hurt by what they say?" Tang Jun replied indifferently.

Was it just He Ming’s imagination, or did Tang Jun’s smile seem to deepen?

It didn’t make sense. Although his brother was always cheerful and optimistic and accepted things more readily than most people, how could he be so happy being called blind?

"Remember, act in an hour," Tang Jun reminded.

"Bro."

He Ming still wanted to say something, but Tang Jun already stood up, saying, "I want to see Doctor Yuan. She promised to treat my eyes."

"I need to see the doctor."

Tang Jun shouted loudly, annoying the people outside, who cursed him back. Tang Jun continued, "I want to see Brother Yan."

Tang Jun had guessed Ni Yan’s name earlier, but since everyone else called him ’Brother Yan’ when they left, he did the same.

"What’s all this shouting about? Do you think you can see Brother Yan whenever you want?" the guards barked impatiently.

"I want to see Brother Yan."

Tang Jun didn’t care and kept shouting.

He Ming joined in, "Yes, he promised my brother would be treated with ginseng. Now that we are locked up here, they can’t go back on their word."

"Brother Yan, we need to see you."

"Doctor, you promised to treat my brother’s eyes. You can’t go back on your word."

Tang Jun and He Ming raised their voices, and the guards couldn’t stop them. They couldn’t just rush in and gag them.

Soon, Ni Yan arrived. Having just heard that Nilo’s fever had subsided after taking medicine, Ni Yan was thinking of heading home for some rest. When he heard Tang Jun’s shouting, he turned back.

"What’s all the ruckus?" Ni Yan stormed over, thinking about how the blind man hadn’t died by falling and, more surprisingly, had found ginseng?

"Brother Yan, I found ginseng. You said anyone who finds ginseng gets a reward. I found it, and you promised to let that female doctor treat my eyes," Tang Jun spoke quickly, almost incoherently, repetitively reminding about treating his eyes.

"The eyes, you promised to treat my eyes."

Tang Jun appeared very anxious, repeatedly emphasizing the need for eye treatment in front of Ni Yan, which made Ni Yan impatient. He said, "Stop, stop, stop. Can you just stop talking?"

Ni Yan interrupted Tang Jun, "I never said I’d go back on my promises, nor did I say the doctor wouldn’t treat your eyes. Why are you so agitated? We worked late into last night, and you’re not tired?"

Ni Yan yawned. If it weren’t to check on whether Nilo had safely gotten through the danger, he would’ve been asleep already.

He was exhausted, and Tang Jun’s incessant shouting made his head feel like it was about to explode.

"Brother Yan, I’ve been blind for so long, and the doctor said it can be cured. I want it treated as soon as possible. What if... what if you change your mind?" Tang Jun persisted on this point.

Ni Yan thought this Tang Jun seemed normal. He exchanged a glance with Hei Zai, at which point Ni Yan no longer doubted Tang Jun. Only someone truly blind would be so eager about such a thing.

Besides, whether it was from Black Wolf or their side, they absolutely wouldn’t send in a blind person. If they did, that’d be nonsensical, utterly foolish.

"I didn’t say you couldn’t go. When have I, Brother Yan, ever gone back on my word?" Ni Yan retorted with impatience, thinking Tang Jun was wasting his breath.

"Brother Yan, better safe than sorry. Brother Yan, I really want to get my eyes treated quickly," Tang Jun expressed excitedly. "And besides, Brother Yan, I’m just a blind man. Let me go out to find the doctor; I can’t do much, can I? Are you honestly afraid of a blind man?"

"Who’s afraid of a blind man like you?" Ni Yan scrutinized Tang Jun, cursing the heavens for granting a blind man such good looks and luck.

No, how could he be jealous of a blind man?

If this blind man truly had good fortune, how’d he become blind in the first place?

"Brother Yan, I’m just a blind man. I really want to see again," Tang Jun pleaded softly.
