Derek responded to Lei Tong's question simply: "Of course I remember."
"Do you remember asking Qiangzi what he was doing just now!?"
Derek was a little embarrassed by Lei Tong's follow-up question.
"I, I'm worried about you."
"Why are you worried about me? I am such an adult, why can't I take care of myself outside?" Lei Tong continued to tease.
Derek scratched his head: "No... Leizi, do you know it's been dozens of hours since you left yesterday. I'm not..."
"What are you doing!? I made it very clear to you when I left that I would be back by daylight at the latest. What are you in such a hurry for?
Do you know what the most important quality is for an investigator? Just be patient! !
When we are outside, especially in such dangerous areas, we must be patient and calm.
Do you understand that it is very easy to expose yourself if you are so irritable and restless when encountering an unexpected incident? "
Lei Tong gave Derek a scolding without any courtesy.
Derek couldn't even reply when he scolded Lei Tong.
The reason why Lei Tong is so serious about this matter...is not because he doesn't understand Drake's kindness.
On the contrary, Lei Tong is so "irritable" precisely because of his "love" for Derek.
He wanted to use this incident to teach Derek a lesson.
He had to teach Derek to think about the bigger picture.
Lei Tong returned to the station as scheduled today. If he failed to return in time, what would Derek do?
Wang Qiang looked at Derek's deflated appearance, exhaled, and interjected: "Leizi, Xiaode, he is mainly worried about your safety."
How could Lei Tong not know what Derek was thinking.
It's just that the core relationship of this issue is not worry.
"Qiangzi, I know you are all worried about me. But I made it very clear to Xiaode when I left. Xiaode, I just want to ask you, if I don't come back now, or I don't come back today, what are you going to do? Do?"
"I..." Derek didn't know how to answer.
But for questions like this...actually, everyone has answers psychologically.
Derek didn't know how to answer, so Lei Tong directly answered the question: "Are you planning to run into the forest to meet me again like yesterday?"
"I..." How do you think Derek should deal with this problem?
Even Drake himself wasn't sure about anything that didn't happen.
"Xiao De, I won't go into too much detail. Remember, I am the team leader. We can do whatever we want in our daily lives.
But when taking action, you must obey the command unconditionally! !
do you understand? "
Alas~ He let out a bitter sigh, and Derek nodded: "I understand."
Emotionally, Drake was honestly not able to accept this wave of reprimands from Thunder Eyes.
But rationally, he understood that there was nothing wrong with what Lei Tong warned him.
The team has important tasks to do when they come out this time. They are not out for a trip or fun.
Bringing back information about the skinheads is naturally the top priority of this mission.
After receiving Derek's affirmative reply, Lei Tong immediately calmed down the solemn look on his face, and said with concern: "You two didn't sleep last night because of me, right?"
It's not that Lei Tong can't understand Derek, he is also very grateful for Derek's concern.
However, as a commander and a team leader, Lei Tong must give life and separate tasks.
The public is public and the private is private.
Just as Lei Tong emphasized in his words.
In life, there is no problem whatever happens between our brothers.
But in action, you must do what he orders, and there is absolutely no room for ambiguity on this point.
"Oh, it's nothing. Lei Zi, you didn't reply last night. Did you encounter any trouble?" Wang Qiang asked back.
When Wang Qiang responded to Derek's related questions last night, he never mentioned that Thunder Eyes would be in trouble.
On the one hand, Wang Qiang trusted Lei Tong's ability to deal with things.
On the other hand, it was also to appease the restless Derek.
However, in reality, the option of Lei Tong getting into trouble has not been ruled out.
"I'm fine, everything is going well. I didn't return. I was exploring the situation at the skinhead camp."
As expected, the analysis content is the same as Wang Qiang's analysis.
Derek immediately glanced at Wang Qiang, shrugged and smiled: "Hey, Qiangzi, you are really a roundworm in the stomach."
After hearing this, Lei Tong raised his eyebrows. He didn't know why and subconsciously blurted out: "What do you mean?"
Derek followed up and responded with a smile: "Haha, what you said is exactly the same as what Qiangzi told me last night. He also confirmed that you were smearing and investigating the skinheads' nighttime operations and deployment."
It is easy to see from Derek's two replies to Lei Tong that Derek did not pay much attention to the relevant reprimands and curses given to Lei Tong before.
This is one of the factors that enables the Victory League team to survive to this day.
Between brothers, no matter how extreme the words may be, they will not take it seriously in the end.
What's more, Derek didn't think there was anything wrong with what Lei Tong said.
"That's it. That means Qiangzi sees things right. You guys should learn more." As the conversation started, Lei Tong also started to joke.
After casual greetings for a while, when the atmosphere relaxed, Lei Tong interrupted the conversation: "Are those two sleeping?"
The "those two" Lei Tong was referring to were naturally... Zhang Fei and Zhang Chi brothers.
Wang Qiang nodded silently: "Well, he should be asleep."
"They didn't do anything yesterday, right?" This was what Lei Tong was most worried about after leaving.
Wang Qiang responded decisively: "No, they basically didn't leave the tent yesterday."
"That's it." Originally, I wanted to give Zhang Fei more attention and relax the behavior of the two brothers.
But since Wang Qiang said that these two people had been hiding in the tent, he had nothing to ask.
"Leizi, we should go back today, right?" Lei Tong has also returned, and the most nerve-wracking and headache-inducing matter is finally over.
Wang Qiang naturally raised the key issues.
"Yeah." Lei Tong nodded simply.
This was part of the plan.
Again, this was discussed before.
After all, Lei Tong had to lead the team to prepare supplies for the village.
This matter is no small matter, and there is no room for negligence.
"Then you need to rest and replenish yourself first. We'll leave later." Considering that Lei Tong had just returned from his trek, Wang Qiang greeted him thoughtfully.
Lei Tong waved his hand: "No need, I'm not tired."
Lei Tong's words were not pretentious.
He had returned to the station a long time ago, but just to listen to the argument between Drake and Wang Qiang, he deliberately hid and did not come out.
So he continued to evade the chance of prying, and Lei Tong had already taken a full rest.
But Wang Qiang and Derek knew nothing about all of this.
Lei Tong didn't want to publicize this matter too much.
He didn't want to hurt Wang Qiang and Drake because of this matter.
After all, from Lei Tong's observation, he knew that the two young men were already very careful on their guard.
