For this child whom he had watched grow up from a young age, the mayor had always held in high regard.
People say that you can tell what someone will be like when they're old by the time they're three, and from his childhood, he felt that Bei Jiang was different from other children.
And indeed, as he grew up, it turned out to be true; he had heard that Bei Jiang had even become a division commander in the army.
"It has already happened, don't... don't take it too hard..." The mayor said dryly, trying to offer comfort but ultimately unable to go on.
It's easy to make light of such matters when they're not happening to oneself, so words of comfort tend to ring hollow.
But he truly did wish the Huo Family and Huo Beijiang well.
In the end, the mayor let out a long sigh, "It's all in the past now..."
Huo Beijiang was calm and composed; he really didn't want to hear words of comfort.
Because he never needed them.
