Chapter 549: Formal Evacuation and Final Farewell
Song Yuanqing sighed. She knew her sons were thinking about her, but she still felt a little worried. She looked at Huang Changfeng with worry in her eyes: "You must be careful and don't make any mistakes. Your father is gone. If something happens to you two again, what's the point of me living?"
Huang Changlin also came over, held his mother's hand, and comforted her: "Mom, don't worry, we have arranged everything. We have made careful arrangements this time to ensure that nothing goes wrong." His voice was gentle but powerful, trying to make his mother put her worries aside.
Song Yuanqing felt a little relieved when she saw their confident eyes. She knew her sons had grown up and could stand on their own.
She nodded, took a deep breath, and tried to look calm: "Okay, I believe you. Let's go together. No matter what happens, we will be together."
Huang Changfeng and Huang Changlin smiled at each other. As long as they could get their mother out of this vortex, from now on, the sky would be high for birds to fly and the sea would be wide for fish to jump.
The three of them silently packed up their final items, preparing for their upcoming escape.
Outside the Huang Mansion, the night is growing darker, while inside the Huang Mansion, a life-and-death escape is about to begin.
"Young Master, Young Master, everything is ready, let's go!" A middle-aged man wearing a black Zhongshan suit, who looked extremely tall and strong, with a resolute face, walked in and spoke to the two brothers.
This man is named Chang Wei, Chang Tai's cousin and the highest commander of the guard force around Huang Guangtai. He is taciturn but smart and quick-witted, and excels in both martial arts and marksmanship.
"Okay, let's go!" The two brothers supported Song Yuanqing and came to the depths of the secret room under the escort of Chang Wei and others. There was a secret passage here, which stretched for several kilometers and led directly to the compound of Taolin District Police Station. Chang Wei was accompanied by 30 experts from Huang Guangtai's guard unit. This time, they were the ones to escort the mother and her two children out of Liuwan.
The crowd carefully passed through the dark and damp underground passage and finally arrived at the logistics compound of the Taolin District Police Station. At this time, the compound was brightly lit, and rows of bright lights illuminated the entire compound as if it were daytime. From a distance, you can see a large group of soldiers arranged by Chang Tai guarding the surroundings, and their figures look particularly majestic under the lights.
Chang Wei led several capable guards to the guard post at the entrance of the tunnel. He stood by the entrance, scanning everything around him with a sharp gaze to ensure that there was nothing unusual. At this time, a major battalion commander came up to him. He was wearing a neat military uniform and a shining medal on his chest, looking majestic and solemn.
"Commander Chang, you are here!" The major battalion commander saluted Chang Wei respectfully.
Chang Wei nodded and ordered in a serious tone: "Major, I will take people down to check the situation. You arrange the soldiers and strengthen the vigilance. Do not allow anyone to approach here."
"Yes, sir!" The major battalion commander immediately replied, and then turned around and gave orders to the soldiers behind him. The soldiers acted quickly and strengthened the vigilance around them.
Chang Wei nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and said to the people behind him: "Let's go down." After that, he took the lead and walked into the tunnel entrance.
The tunnel was completely dark, with only the light of the flashlight guiding the direction of the group. Chang Wei and the others moved forward cautiously, fearing to startle something. They went down the tunnel and soon came to a spacious corridor. The air here was extremely humid and exuded a smell of corruption. A soldier guarding the entrance of the corridor nodded to Chang Wei, indicating that everything was normal here.
Chang Wei checked around and confirmed that everything was normal before turning around and saying to everyone, "Okay, we can come up now."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and followed Chang Wei upstairs. When they returned to the compound, they saw Chang Tai was already waiting for them there.
Chang Tai stood in a corner of the compound. Seeing Huang Changlin and the others come out safely, a relieved smile appeared on his face. He walked forward quickly and greeted Song Yuanqing respectfully, "Madam, I'm here."
Then, he turned his gaze to Huang Changlin, frowning slightly, seeming a little puzzled.
"Young Master, our original plan was to evacuate in two days. Why do we suddenly have to leave early?" There was a hint of confusion and concern in Chang Tai's tone.
Huang Changlin looked at Chang Tai, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Chang Tai, we have to act in advance. The situation is turbulent now, and our whereabouts may be leaked at any time. Every day of delay will increase the risk. For the safety of my mother and the future of the Huang family, we must leave as soon as possible."
Chang Tai nodded his head to show his understanding. He was silent for a moment, looking at Huang Changlin with complicated eyes, and slowly spoke with a sense of vicissitudes and emotion in his voice: "My Lord, after this separation, I don't know when we will meet again. You must pay attention to your safety and live well in the United States. Don't set foot in China again in this life."
This was the first time that Chang Tai communicated with Huang Changlin, the eldest son of the Huang family, in the tone of an elder. In the past, Chang Tai always bowed and scraped, and kept himself in a very low profile. Even though he was already the new president of the Southern Government, he never forgot his roots, and no matter how Huang Changlin bossed him around, he never complained.
Huang Changlin felt mixed emotions when listening to Chang Tai's words. He had always regarded Chang Tai as a servant of the Huang family and never really took him seriously. However, at this moment, looking at Chang Tai's old and determined face, he felt an unprecedented shock and respect.
"Uncle Chang, I..." Huang Changlin wanted to say something, but found that his throat was choked and he couldn't speak.
Chang Tai waved his hand, interrupting Huang Changlin. He turned around, his back to Huang Changlin, and said in a trembling voice, "Young Master, you don't have to say more. I, Chang Tai, have been favored by the Huang family all my life. For the Huang family and the Southern Government, I have no regrets. After you and your wife leave, I will stay in the north of the bay and perish together with the northern bandits. This is my destiny, Chang Tai, and my last loyalty to the Huang family."
Huang Changlin listened to Chang Tai's words, and he felt an indescribable emotion and guilt in his heart. He had never thought that this person who had been silently paying for them had such firm belief and determination.
"Uncle Chang..." Huang Changlin walked forward and wanted to hold Chang Tai's hand, but was gently pushed away by Chang Tai.
"Young Master, you'd better leave as soon as possible. I know you have always looked down on servants like me, but please believe that everything I have done is for the Huang family. I hope you can take good care of your wife and live a good life in the United States in the future." There was a hint of bitterness and helplessness in Chang Tai's voice.
Huang Changlin looked at Chang Tai's back, and a strong sense of respect and guilt surged in his heart. He lowered his head silently, as if he wanted to bury this guilt deep in his heart.
Song Yuanqing stood under the light of the compound, looking at Chang Tai in front of her, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes. Her voice trembled slightly, and every word revealed deep gratitude and guilt: "Atai, our Huang family owes you, and we can only repay you in the next life. After Old Huang left, he left such a mess, which really made things difficult for you."
Chang Tai heard this and gently waved his hand, with a relieved smile on his face. His eyes were gentle and firm, as if he had already put life and death aside: "Madam, you don't have to say that. This is what I should do. When the master was alive, he was very kind to me. It is my honor to be able to contribute to the Huang family and the Southern Government."
He paused, then continued, "It's getting late, Madam, the eldest and second sons, please leave quickly. I'll be guarding here, don't worry."
Song Yuanqing listened to Chang Tai's words, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knew that Chang Tai had always been the most loyal guardian of the Huang family. No matter how difficult and dangerous it was, he would stand behind the Huang family without hesitation.
Huang Changfeng, who was standing aside, was always calm, but couldn't help but shed tears. He looked at Chang Tai's resolute back, and his heart was full of respect and gratitude. Such a person who was loyal to the Huang family and devoted to the Southern Government was indeed worthy of respect from everyone.
Huang Changlin also stood aside silently, with mixed feelings in his heart. He had never felt Chang Tai's loyalty and dedication so deeply as he did now. He knew that the Huang family owed Chang Tai too much and might never be able to repay it in this lifetime.
Under the bright lights of the compound, the eldest and second sons of the Huang family bid their final farewell to Chang Tai. Their hearts were filled with gratitude and respect, as well as worry and uncertainty about the future. Chang Tai stood there firmly, guarding the way they left until their figures disappeared into the night.
