Yuedao tucked the gun back into his waist and slowly walked over to Li Yeqi. After a long silence, he finally heard Li Yeqi ask him, "Yuedao, did I make a mistake?"
Yuedao's pupils constricted. Seventh Brother had never doubted his own decisions, but now here he was, dejectedly asking if he had made a mistake. He hesitated for a moment, "Seventh Brother, maybe the situation isn't as bad as we imagine."
Li Yeqi exhaled a heavy plume of smoke and gave a bitter smile. "I exhausted all my strength so I could protect her in the future and ensure she wouldn't endure such things again. But that day, I watched her being taken away, utterly helpless."
"Seventh Brother, pull yourself together. Sister-in-law is still waiting for you to bring her home." Yuedao couldn't bear to see him blame himself. When choosing a path, who could predict that it would be full of thorns?
He abandoned commerce for the military to make their future smoother and more peaceful.
