However, Lin Chen seemed somewhat at a loss when faced with this sudden request. After all, his sniping skills largely came from Huang Ya; did he, the "apprentice," have to teach his "master" now?

As for that mysterious "insight" ability, it's like an "internal top-level cheat," so how could it be shared with others!

However, Lin Chen couldn't resist Huang Ya's excessive enthusiasm, and he could always see the shadow of Liu Tiantian in her, so he had no choice but to agree.

Ultimately, he decided that the two of them would explore the secrets of sniping together through practical combat training.

Lin Chen once again transformed into a "mentor," launching into a long explanation of map control and seizing opportunities. Huang Ya was very respectful of Lin Chen, even taking careful notes in a small notebook at times!

This made Lin Chen feel embarrassed. After all, he didn't even quite understand what he was saying!

In the actual combat phase, they wore bulletproof vests and carried blank bullets. In repeated simulated confrontations, not only did Lin Chen's sniping skills improve further, but Huang Ya also felt a subtle increase in her own strength under tremendous pressure.

As one of the world's top snipers, she can keenly detect even the slightest improvement.

The two days of practice not only improved their skills but also completely resolved their differences.

Huang Ya's prejudice against Lin Chen vanished, replaced by a barely perceptible sense of gratitude. Even during a teaching session, their hands inadvertently touched; at that moment, Lin Chen's face was inches from Huang Ya's lips, and a subtle electric current filled the air.

Huang Ya's heart raced, her cheeks flushed, and she forced back her heavy breathing, shaking her head hastily to calm her turmoil.

However, Lin Chen's close cooperation with Huang Ya aroused the dissatisfaction of another person—the Demon Blade.

He had always harbored hostility towards Lin Chen, and now, seeing his beloved Huang Ya inseparable from Lin Chen day and night, his jealousy and anger grew wildly like weeds.

He secretly followed her multiple times and saw that Huang Ya's attitude towards Lin Chen was becoming increasingly gentle, and she even almost kissed him! The powder keg in his heart finally exploded.

Fortunately, Black Mamba noticed his abnormality in time and prevented a potential conflict.

At this point, Zhao Zhuowen, Little General, Black Mamba, and Huang Ya had fully accepted Lin Chen, while Yang Meilin and Yao Dao, for various reasons, stood on the opposite side of Lin Chen, which made Lin Chen feel a little helpless and bitter.

This complex web of interpersonal relationships adds further twists and turns to Lin Chen's jungle life.

...

A week passed in the blink of an eye. The message from superiors arrived as scheduled, revealing that the mission objective had come to light.

This operation, codenamed "Cold War," pitted them against the "Harris" organization, a mysterious group from the Silver Triangle.

The Harris organization, a terrorist force that has been entrenched in the area for over a decade, is a large and powerful organization. It is estimated that the number of personnel they have dispatched is at least ten times that of Lin Chen's "Code C" team. Faced with such a formidable enemy, the danger of the mission is self-evident.

The Harris organization is no ordinary group; its members are mostly professional terrorists, and many are highly trained retired special forces soldiers from abroad.

They were well-equipped, even possessing heavy weapons, and their combat capabilities were extremely formidable. Local authorities had repeatedly dispatched government troops to suppress them, but all efforts had yielded little result.

This time, the "Operation Red Sea" club was commissioned by Interpol to participate in the operation to combat the "Harris" organization. Of course, this mission was not unpaid; Zhao Zhuowen did not reveal the specific reward to Lin Chen, only telling him to focus on completing the mission and that he would receive a surprise afterward.

The mission objective seemed simple and clear—kill the target and then quickly retreat. However, in that flat, open environment, how easy was it to escape unscathed?

Fortunately, Lin Chen and his group were all highly skilled individuals. Although the mission was fraught with danger, it remained within their control.

However, just as they were about to set off for their target location to ambush him, a strange unease welled up in Lin Chen's heart. The feeling was subtle yet intense, and he couldn't ignore it.

"Brother Bawang, are you sure the information they gave you is accurate?" Lin Chen couldn't help but ask Zhao Zhuowen during the journey.

Zhao Zhuowen assumed Lin Chen was nervous because it was his first time on such a mission, so he smiled and reassured him, "Old dog, this intelligence was provided to us by Interpol. I've already had Black Mamba and Black Widow confirm it, there's absolutely no problem."

Despite hearing Zhao Zhuowen's explanation, Lin Chen's unease did not dissipate in the slightest. He thought to himself, "What if there's a mole within the organization?"

But he didn't voice this thought.

...

Destination ambush point, area A.

Just as everyone took their positions and lay in wait, Demon Blade suddenly found an opportunity and approached Lin Chen. His face was grim as he whispered, "You absolutely mustn't get killed, because your life belongs to me!"

Lin Chen smiled slightly and replied, "Oh? So confident? Can you tell me why?"

The demon sword snorted coldly and said, "You know perfectly well why I'm asking this!"

Lin Chen shrugged and said, "If it's because of the Three-Second Girl, I can tell you definitively that nothing happened between me and her."

"Nonsense! If that had happened, you would be dead by now!" Yao Dao said through gritted teeth.

At this moment, Yang Meilin walked over and rudely chased Yao Dao away. Before leaving, Yao Dao glared fiercely at Lin Chen with a hostile look.

Of course, Yang Meilin wasn't there to smooth things over for Lin Chen. Her hostility towards Lin Chen was only deeper than that of the demon sword.

"Our score isn't going to be settled so easily," Yang Meilin said coldly.

"And what's it about you this time, my Black Widow sister?" Lin Chen asked, feigning casualness.

"You touched my butt, you knocked me to the ground, I can let all that go. But..."

Yang Meilin paused, then looked around to make sure no one was paying attention before asking in a low voice, "Who told you that I'm a lesbian? Do you know my sister?"

Lin Chen was surprised that Yang Meilin would ask this question, and for a moment, he didn't know how to answer.

“I have had the young general conduct a thorough investigation into you. It turns out you are the eldest son of the Lin family in Haizhou, and my sister Meixi’s lesbian partner is actually your eldest sister, Lin Ruoyue! However, the intelligence reports that your relationship with your eldest sister is extremely cold, and she even kicked you out of the house. So, how did you find out about the secret between my sister and your eldest sister?”

With a genius assistant like the young general by her side, Yang Meilin could easily obtain any information or intelligence she wanted. Lin Chen was not surprised by this.

A playful smile played on his lips as he replied, "Widow, speaking of which, your relationship with your eldest sister doesn't seem to be very harmonious, does it? Do you dare say you know nothing about your eldest sister's secrets?"

Yang Meilin was taken aback upon hearing this, but then she suddenly realized the deeper meaning behind Lin Chen's words.

Lin Chen sneered and continued, "You should know your enemies better than you know your friends. I don't need to teach you that, do I?"

"You..." Yang Meilin was speechless for a moment, glaring angrily.

Lin Chen didn't care at all and continued to tease, "Speaking of which, if my older sister and your younger sister really get together, wouldn't we be relatives? Haha, then we'd really be family! Hahaha!"

Looking at Lin Chen's annoying smile, Yang Meilin wished she could shove a rattlesnake into his mouth right away!

"You're dreaming! I will never let Meixi continue to be your older sister's slave, plaything, and to be manipulated at will! Lin Chen, listen to me, every insult and harm your older sister has done to my sister, I will repay you double, even tenfold! Just you wait and see!"

Yang Meilin glared fiercely at Lin Chen, then stormed off.

Lin Chen had already discerned Yang Meilin's thoughts, knowing that she had only learned about all this a few days ago through the young general, which explained why her attitude towards him had changed so quickly.
