Chapter 224 – We Are Looking For Him

Chapter 224 – We Are Looking For Him


On one side, they were cursing and swearing, while on the other side, everything was peaceful and harmonious.


Shen Xinyu pulled Guo Dabao, who had mud all over his mouth, up from the ground and enthusiastically helped him pat the dirt on his body. “Not bad, the Jiangnan Military Region still has experts like you.”


Guo Dabao had calmed down at this moment and asked curiously, “Shen Xinyu, where do you rank in your War Wolf Unit? I’m talking about pure free combat.”


Shen Xinyu raised his eyebrows and said, “I’m just a rookie. If you want to know who is the worst in the War Wolf Unit in the Southwest Military Region, it’s definitely me, Shen Xinyu!”


His War Wolf teammates next to him couldn’t help but smile. They knew that Shen Xinyu was just talking nonsense again.


In the War Wolf Unit, even if Shen Xinyu wasn’t ranked first, he was at least in the top three. Otherwise, how could he dare to boldly claim that if Guo Dabao defeats him, the War Wolf would admit defeat?


But the simple and honest Guo Dabao believed it to be true. He nodded and sighed, “The War Wolf are indeed full of talented people. I met a retired soldier from your unit before, who is now writing novels. He’s even better than you, Shen Xinyu. Unfortunately, he doesn’t have time to come and train with us.”


“A retired soldier from our unit? And even more skilled than Shen Xinyu?” Several team members of the War Wolf next to them frowned.


Veterans who have not left the Wolf Warriors in the past two years, and even veterans who retired due to serious injuries in the past, have basically been recruited by other military regions as advisors. Most of those who came out of their unit were figures at the level of king of soldiers, let alone someone more skilled than Shen Xinyu. Who would be willing to let them go?


So, they deeply questioned Guo Dabao’s statement.


In fact, Yang Yi’s book has also been promoted and distributed to the Southwest Military Region, but the Southwest Military Region didn’t have the several book-loving old gentlemen like in the Jiangnan Military Region, so the promotion efforts were naturally far inferior to those of the Jiangnan Military Region.


“Really, why would I lie to you? He came to our military region as a guest, and hundreds of people watched me fight him, but I couldn’t beat him at all!” Guo Dabao said discontentedly.


Shen Xinyu clenched his fist, and a vague answer emerged in his heart, but he couldn’t believe it. He calmly asked Guo Dabao, “What’s the name of that person you mentioned?”


“Yang Yi! Haven’t you all seen “Soldiers a.s.sault” and “Drawing Sword”? He’s the one…” Guo Dabao’s words were interrupted.


Sure enough!


After hearing the name, Shen Xinyu’s eyes immediately widened. He rushed forward with quick steps, grabbed Guo Dabao’s hand, and excitedly asked, “Yang Yi? Did you say Yang Yi? The Yang from “Muyi Yang”, the Yi in ‘Qi Wen Yi Shi’?”1


After thinking for a moment, Guo Dabao tried to remember how to write the ‘Yi’ in ‘Qi Wen Yi Shi’, but he mistakenly thought of the ‘Yi’ in ‘Qi Wen Yi Shi’ as the ‘Yi’ in ‘Qi Wen Yi Shi’. He shook his head, squatted down, and drew a few strokes in the dirt with his finger, saying, “Not the ‘Yi’ in ‘Qi Weng Yi Shi’, but this ‘Yi’.”2


“Yes! That’s it. Yang Yi. Where did you see Yang Yi?” Shen Xinyu was so excited that he almost grabbed Guo Dabao by the collar and lifted him off the ground.


The commotion here caught the attention of Old Li and Luo Zongsheng. Luo Zongsheng walked over and rebuked, “Shen Xinyu, what are you doing? Put him down quickly. They are all our comrades-in-arms! Are you confused between exercise and actual combat?”


Shen Xinyu quickly let go of Guo Dabao and didn’t bother to defend himself. He excitedly said to Luo Zongsheng, “Old Luo, this guy, Guo Dabao, said he has met Yang Yi.”


The name Yang Yi immediately made Luo Zongsheng feel dazed, as if he had suddenly returned to the past. The brother who made him feel ashamed every time he thought of him reappeared in his mind.


“Yang Yi? Is it really Yang Yi?” Several veteran soldiers of the War Wolf unit also widened their eyes and asked excitedly.


“Yang Yi, where is he now?” Luo Zongsheng, who was called “Brother Luo” by his brothers, asked with a slightly heavy voice, as if he was trying to cover up his slightly choked-up voice. “Is he doing well now?”


“He should be doing well, right? He wrote two particularly good novels himself. Haven’t you read them? By the way, he really was one of your War Wolf?” Guo Dabao scratched his head and said.


Old Li also nodded and said, “I’ve also seen Yang Yi. He’s doing well now. I heard that our superiors even wanted to hire him as an instructor for the Viper unit, but he declined. Oh! Old Luo, what’s the story with him in your team?”


“Ah, it’s all my fault for not protecting him!” Luo Zongsheng smiled bitterly and said calmly, “When he left, he didn’t even leave a contact information. We’ve been looking for him for years, but we can’t find him…”


“Two years ago, that guy, Lu…” Shen Xinyu almost blurted out the name. Fortunately, a brother next to him gave him a tug, and Shen Xinyu stopped himself from saying the name and said sulkily, “Anyway, the matter has been resolved. Old Luo wants to find Yang Yi. Even if he’s gained weight and can’t fight anymore, he should be given the treatment he deserves! By the way, his military status has already been restored, but he’s been cla.s.sified as retired!”


Guo Dabao couldn’t let others badmouth his idol, and he said unhappily, “Yang Yi hasn’t gained weight. He’s still very strong. Didn’t I say he’s even more powerful than you?”


“Bullsh*t! Yang Yi is more powerful than me? In the past, in the War Wolf unit, he was the one who was beaten by me!” Shen Xinyu exclaimed displeased.


In fact, there wasn’t that big of a difference. Yang Yi used to be equally matched with Shen Xinyu in terms of skill, and neither of them would admit defeat to the other. However, Yang Yi had a close relationship with Shen Xinyu, and they had mutual respect for each other, which is why Shen Xinyu has been thinking about his old rival Yang Yi.


But he couldn’t lose in terms of momentum!


“Ha, when I say he’s better than you, he’s better than you. With all his strength, I couldn’t even defend against him,” Guo Dabao snorted and said, “If you don’t believe me, go to Jiangcheng and challenge him yourself!”


……


Jiangcheng, Yang Yi sneezed and furrowed his brow, thinking he had caught a cold.


Although his body was strong enough to hardly catch a cold or fever, there was still a pet.i.te and delicate little girl at home. In order to avoid infecting his daughter, he explained to Ding Xiang and went to the school hospital in Jiangchuan Media to buy two packs of cold medicine to drink.


On the way back, he accidentally saw Guo Ziyi standing in front of the Film Academy building.


Standing face to face with Guo Ziyi was Du Yuanlei, whom Guo Ziyi could not forget.


Could Du Yuanlei be considered a beauty? Yang Yi didn’t feel much when looking at her. Mo Fei was much more beautiful than her, and even Mo Xiaojuan could barely compare with her.


However, as a director, Du Yuanlei indeed has a much better temperament than ordinary girls, perhaps because of her talent that attracted Guo Ziyi?


Because Guo Ziyi was his good friend, Yang Yi stopped with interest, not gossiping. He watched from afar for a while and saw Guo Ziyi’s expression change from joy to disappointment, and finally lowered his head and handed something to Du Yuanlei before leaving dejectedly.


Throughout the process, Du Yuanlei remained expressionless.


After waiting for Du Yuanlei to leave, Yang Yi quickly walked towards Guo Ziyi, patted the dejected little fatty and smiled, “What’s wrong? Didn’t you say you’ve given up? Why did you come to see her again today?”


“Big Brother Yang!” Guo Ziyi was a bit surprised when he saw Yang Yi, and immediately blushed, “Did you see everything?”


“I saw it, but it’s not a big deal. Isn’t it just a rejection?” Yang Yi comforted him, “There are beautiful flowers everywhere, why fixate on one flower?”


Guo Ziyi sighed and explained the whole story.


Originally, the little fatty had already given up, but later, Du Yuanlei convened a meeting of all the performers, requesting authorization from the songwriters of the non-original programs for subsequent profit distribution management. However, they basically couldn’t provide it, so the profits from their singing would basically all have to go to the hands of the songwriters.


Although even if the profit was split, it was only a small amount of money, it was indeed the requirement of the copyright organization that pervasively restricted all possible infringement for profit!


However, there were still a few people who could provide authorization, such as Tang Kaitai, who has a deep background.


If Guo Ziyi spoke up, Yang Yi would have granted him authorization, but this guy didn’t care about that little amount of money and was too lazy to deal with such a complicated matter.


But he still needed to provide the name of the songwriter of his song “College Days”. Guo Ziyi knew that Yang Yi didn’t want to make it known to everyone, so he suggested telling Du Yuanlei privately.


Du Yuanlei also agreed!


This gave Guoziyi a wrong signal, and this guy thought that his relationship with Du Yuanlei could be saved again, so he copied a move from Yang Yi, or more accurately, he copied Xixi’s handmade works. He wrote a full-page love letter and fold it into a heart-shaped pattern…


Then there was the scene that Yang Yi had just seen.


“Did she take the letter?” Yang Yi remembered that Guo Ziyi gave something to Du Yuanlei.


“No, it was just another piece of paper with your stage name, Mu Li’ang, and a link to a copyright organization’s authorization…” Guo Ziyi sighed and said.


He spread out the other hand he had been clenching, and the red heart had been soaked with sweat.


“Still, as the saying goes, there are plenty of other fish in the sea. There are so many beautiful women in Jiangchuan Media, you don’t have to hang yourself on the tree of Du Yuanlei!” Yang Yi comforted him.


“As a man, how can I settle down without achieving my career? Big Brother Yang, I don’t want to fall in love anymore. I need to work hard for my actor dream!” Guo Ziyi then threw the red heart into a pa.s.sing trash can and said solemnly.
