Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1267: Chapter 1267: Who Doesn’t Know Their Place

Not only was Ni Yan moved, even He Ming, standing off to the side, felt a kind of resonance with Tang Jun’s words. Tang Jun really did long for the light; every word out of his mouth carried endless yearning.

Why was heaven so unfair? Xiao Jun was clearly trying to catch bad guys, so how did he end up losing his sight?

"Fine, fine, fine, I’ll let you go now." Ni Yan looked disgusted and said, "Hei Zai, take him."

He really couldn’t be bothered to fuss with a blind man.

"Brother Yan, let me go too. My brother’s eyes are bad, I need to take care of him." He Ming crowded in, begging with his whole face.

"What are you going for?"

Ni Yan swept a cold glance at He Ming. Taking Tang Jun was only because he was blind and nothing to be afraid of, but He Ming was different.

Hei Zai pulled Tang Jun out and said, "You just stay put here."

"Bro, I gotta take care of my brother." He Ming rushed forward, wanting to follow Tang Jun, but Hei Zai ruthlessly shoved He Ming back again.

"Xiao Ming, just wait here for me to come back. Who knows, maybe my eyes will be cured."

Tang Jun looked back, grinned, then turned and followed along with Ni Yan and the others.

All the way Tang Jun walked extremely slowly, his head turning as if looking around.

Seeing this, Ni Yan couldn’t help but jab at him: "You’re blind. What can you see? Can you walk faster? I’m waiting to go back to my room and rest."

The way back to Ni Yan’s room just happened to pass by the house where Yuan Yu lived.

"Brother Yan, it’s exactly because I can’t see that I want to look around. I’m afraid of falling." Every word out of Tang Jun’s mouth showed how many times he’d fallen before.

"Brother Yan, how about letting Brother Hei Zai take me over instead?"

Tang Jun suggested again, that cautious yet clearly-afraid-of-anger tone making Ni Yan quite satisfied. He yawned and said, "Hei Zai, you take him to the doctor."

He’d been busy half the night and was indeed tired. Besides, whether Tang Jun’s eyes could be cured had nothing to do with him. He had no interest in dawdling along at Tang Jun’s pace.

"Walk faster."

Hei Zai hurried Tang Jun along. In the end, he really couldn’t stand it and was practically pushing Tang Jun from behind.

"Brother Hei Zai, I—I can’t see, don’t push me so fast."

Tang Jun clutched Hei Zai’s hand tightly, looking scared.

Hei Zai griped, but he relaxed a lot around Tang Jun. He said, "Didn’t you say you wanted to see the doctor? If you walk this slow, how’s that gonna work? You’re a grown man—a grown man—looking like this, what does that look like?"

"Brother Hei Zai, I’m just a blind guy who can’t see."

All the way, Tang Jun kept talking with Hei Zai. He was like a curious baby who knew nothing about anything.

"You’re a big man, how are you yapping like some woman?"

Hei Zai was annoyed by Tang Jun’s questions and went straight for the sore spot.

Tang Jun acted carefree and heartless, not scared at all by Hei Zai’s cold face. He just held onto Hei Zai’s hand and kept asking about everything along the way.

Suddenly a burst of dense screams rang out, accompanied by shouting. The place instantly descended into chaos.

Something had happened.

Hei Zai’s heart gave a jolt and he was about to run over to see when Tang Jun clamped down on his hand. "Brother Hei Zai, you said you’d take me to the doctor, you can’t go back on your word. There’re plenty of people here, it’s probably just a small problem. Brother Hei Zai, I’m begging you, I want to see the doctor."

Tang Jun anxiously turned toward Hei Zai as he spoke. That anxiety wasn’t an act.

The time he’d agreed on with He Ming hadn’t come yet. The sudden gunshots definitely weren’t fired by Jiang Liu’s people. If they weren’t Jiang Liu’s men, then they were the enemy. How did the other side show up at this exact time?

Tang Jun was anxious, and especially now that he needed to appear anxious, it was easy as breathing. He clutched Hei Zai tightly and said, "Brother Hei Zai, please, whether my eyes can be cured all depends on that doctor."

Tang Jun gripped Hei Zai tightly, head lowered, lashes down, speaking urgently: "It won’t delay much. If you pull me along and run, I definitely won’t slow you down."

"Okay, okay, okay, stop yapping." Listening to the gunshots outside, Hei Zai didn’t want to waste any more words with Tang Jun. He could understand Tang Jun’s eagerness to fix his eyes.

So even though Hei Zai was anxious, he still moved very quickly as he ran Tang Jun over to the house where Yuan Yu lived.

"Watch him."

Hei Zai shoved Tang Jun into the room, then turned and left to find out what was going on.

"Get inside." The guard pushed Tang Jun further into the room and then quickly locked the door again. The two doctors inside were key persons to watch. If anything happened to them, Boss Ni would skin them alive.

"No idea what’s going on outside."

"Probably some blind idiot came and started something on our turf."

"Isn’t that just asking to die?"

The two guards muttered to each other, not taking the matter seriously at all.

"You—you’re here?" Yuan Yu saw Tang Jun pushed in and immediately helped him up. "Are you okay?"

"I’m fine."

Tang Jun shook his head.

Xu Qinglang had been sleeping. The noise outside had startled him awake. He and Yuan Yu were listening to the commotion when Tang Jun was suddenly shoved in.

"Doctor, fix my eyes." Tang Jun called out. At the same time he pushed Yuan Yu inward and said, "They’re fighting outside. You two get ready to leave at any moment."

"Okay." Xu Qinglang didn’t feel anything off about Tang Jun’s behavior. Even though Tang Jun was blind, he was usually no different from a normal person, not at all like someone who couldn’t see, so Xu Qinglang didn’t overthink it. He just lowered his voice and said, "How do we leave?"

"Slip away in the chaos." Tang Jun answered directly. Listening to the growing noise outside, things were about to blow up.

Sure enough.

Ni Ji was furious and immediately ordered a transfer. The originally hidden place turned into a noisy mess.

"Xiao Yu, stay behind me." Tang Jun reminded her. He’d been listening to what was happening outside, waiting for the right moment. Best would be to drag it out a bit, long enough for Jiang Liu and the others to arrive. Then he could fish in troubled waters and wipe them all out.

These people had done every bad thing in the book, and they’d kidnapped Yuan Yu on top of that.

Even if they hadn’t hurt Yuan Yu, would a young woman not be scared after being kidnapped?

Tang Jun planned to pin every last one of these debts on their "Eagle."

"It’s really chaotic out there. Are we heading out now?" Xu Qinglang whispered. "But what about the two guards outside?"

"Knock them out, plain and simple." Tang Jun answered without a second thought.
