"It wasn't me, it was our captain," Lin Cheng whispered to Song Zhao.

Before he could continue, the young man in the white suit, with a gentle smile on his face, walked towards them, stopped in front of Lin Cheng, and said in a mild tone, "Vice Captain Lin, you're here too. Where's your captain? Long time no see, I've missed you so much."

"With the captain not here, Mr. Yan, you should take care of your own business first," Lin Cheng replied curtly, clearly not wanting to acknowledge the person in front of him.

"Alright, Deputy Captain Lin, you should convey my feelings of longing to 'Brother Dong' later. We can catch up then." Mr. Yan seemed oblivious to the rejection in Lin Cheng's words, continuing to say what he wanted to say. Without waiting for Lin Cheng's reply, he turned and left.

Lin Cheng rolled his eyes at him from behind.

"you……"

"Hurry up and get the paperwork done, I'm tired."

When Mr. Yan's companions saw Lin Cheng's disrespectful behavior, they were about to speak when Mr. Yan raised his hand to stop them, as if he were tolerating a disobedient child.

Lin Cheng rolled his eyes a few more times in anger.

Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao also realized that the matter between Lin Cheng and Young Master Yan was probably not a trivial matter, and they might be able to cooperate in the future.

The other members of Squad 532 were also very curious about who this person was who was so arrogant, knew the captain, and had a grudge against the vice-captain.

Now is not a good time to ask questions, so I can only suppress my curiosity for now and wait until later.

A short while later, Gu Yanlin returned after completing the license renewal procedures. Upon seeing Young Master Yan sitting in the lobby, he almost lost control of his expression, clenching his fists tightly to regain his composure.

"Go investigate," Young Master Yan casually instructed his subordinates, watching the group of people leave, especially Gu Yanzhi who was close to Song Zhao.

He had noticed this woman earlier; she was very much to his liking. The man beside her was an eyesore, and he hoped they would be more discreet. Thinking this, Young Master Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, becoming long, deep, and menacing, filled with danger.

It ruined his original gentle and refined demeanor, making him seem gloomy and unapproachable at first glance.

After completing the registration, Gu Yanzhi and his group drove towards the points redemption area following the directional signs.

The exchange hall isn't far away; it's only a two-minute drive.

After discussing it, Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao used half of the supplies in the car to exchange for a villa, with a six-month lease term and the option to renew it after six months.

They used the remaining half of their supplies to exchange for some odds and ends of daily necessities and some points. With the help of a group of young men, they loaded everything onto the car and headed towards the villa area where they had exchanged their points, following the staff's directions.

Because they had already selected what they needed, they didn't linger at the exchange counter for too long and didn't run into Young Master Yan's group again.

The capital base is already well-developed, with many people coming and going every day. The houses in the villa area are also in high demand, with only a few remaining.

Gu Yan knew that the house they chose was located on the very edge of the villa area, but this suited them just fine. They had many secrets and didn't want to have too close contact with the people around them.

Chu Guodong had not yet returned, and the members of Team 532 did not yet know where they were going, so they went to their villa with Gu Yanzhi first.

The house looked like it had been uninhabited for a long time; when you opened the door, the air was filled with a thick layer of dust.

The house they chose wasn't very big; it had two floors, two bedrooms, and two living rooms. The second floor had two bedrooms, while the first floor had a living room, kitchen, and bathroom.

The house seemed even smaller as soon as the seven young men entered.

After working for half a day, they barely managed to tidy up the house to a habitable state. The rest would have to wait until Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao moved in before they could finish tidying it up.

The kitchen equipment wasn't complete yet, so it wasn't easy to cook. Gu Yanzhi simply took a few self-heating rice bowls that Zhou You had given them and treated everyone to a meal.

"Brother Cheng, tell me quickly, what's the story with that guy this morning?"

The living room sofa couldn't accommodate everyone, and since it was hot and no one was worried about getting sick, the others sat on the floor around the coffee table.

Everyone stared at Lin Cheng with curious expressions.

"That man's name is Yan Yu, and he's from the same compound as the team leader."

"A few years ago, the captain and I were two greenhorns who had just enlisted, and we were assigned to the same unit."

"Our team leader at the time received information that a drug trafficking group would be smuggling large quantities of drugs across the border, so he sent our team as the advance team to verify the information."

"Our whereabouts were leaked, and we were surrounded by drug dealers as soon as we arrived at the designated location. Only the captain and I survived from the entire team." Lin Cheng's eyes gradually reddened as he recalled the horrific scene from that year. "It was as if the entire team risked their lives to give us a chance to live."

In the dead of night, he would often think of his comrades-in-arms and be unable to sleep for a long time. His teammates were framed and killed tragically, but he was powerless to avenge them.

"After years of investigation, it was determined that someone had colluded with drug traffickers to send false information to the military, with the aim of wiping out their entire squad."

Their team was feared by drug traffickers. Under their captain's leadership, they repeatedly prevented drugs from entering China and dismantled no fewer than 20 drug trafficking groups of varying sizes. The drug traffickers hated him to the core.

Under the manipulation of drug dealers and their backers, they became lambs to the slaughter.

"The person most likely to have spread false information back then was Yan Yu, but my captain and I have never been able to find crucial evidence of his connection with drug dealers."

As he spoke, Lin Cheng closed his eyes in anguish, as if he were back in the hail of bullets of yesteryear, his teammates falling one by one before his eyes, their bodies never found and unable to be laid to rest.

He was in pain, but the captain must have been in even more pain.

Chu Guodong guessed that the main reason why this beast spread false information back then was still because of him.

In the compound, Chu Guodong was always the "model child" that everyone admired. He and Yan Yu were the complete opposite.

A few months after Yan Yu's mother passed away, his father remarried, marrying a stepmother who was more than ten years younger than him. At first, his stepmother treated him quite well, always showing concern for him.

After having his own child, he revealed his true colors, constantly beating and scolding him. His father didn't care, only doting on his young wife and never giving Yan Yu a kind look.

Yan Yu was 12 or 13 years old. She was thin and small, covered in injuries, dressed in tattered clothes, and had a gloomy demeanor.

The other children in the compound all avoided him, but Chu Guodong didn't mind and played with him.

However, when Chu Guodong wasn't with him, he committed all sorts of petty theft and other evil deeds. The parents in the compound all warned their children not to get close to him, fearing that their children would be led astray.
