Yu Yongyou looked at Qin Siyang and drew a deep breath.
He could only think three steps ahead when something happened, yet Qin Siyang had already planned more than ten steps ahead.
The difference was plain to see.
Thinking back on Qin Siyang's origins only made Yu Yongyou even more astonished.
Yu Yongyou could not help praising him. "Brigade Commander Qin, you truly were born to see the big picture. Your foresight is remarkable!"
"What do you mean, born to see the big picture? Back when I was in the 14121 Region, I was so poor I nearly had to beg." Qin Siyang's voice was full of exhaustion. "Once you reach a certain position, you naturally start thinking about the things that come with it. You're tied down by the Yu Family and the mining business, Patriarch Yu. Of course you don't have time to think about much else."
Yu Yongyou disagreed. "A man should know his own limits. Even if I reached your position, I doubt I'd have your breadth of vision or generosity of spirit. You look tired after that battle, Brigade Commander Qin, so I won't disturb your rest. Once you wake up, I'll tell you what we learned from interrogating the survivor."
"Thanks for your efforts."
Qin Siyang lay down on the bed in the stone chamber and went to sleep.
Half asleep, his consciousness hazy, Qin Siyang seemed to sense sounds brimming with vitality coming from inside his body. Like vines budding in early spring, his torn muscle fibers rapidly knit back together under the impetus of some power, becoming as tough as they had been before.
Every heartbeat pumped blood rich with vitality through his parched blood vessels, bringing the warmth of renewal.
