Chapter 416 Border City
"We are sorry for him?! Don't you know what he did?!" Although the man was a little afraid of Li Muhan.
But when he mentioned Lin Ziyu, his anger suddenly began to rise. After being helped up by the girl, he pointed at Li Muhan and shouted, "He doesn't study! He's breaking the law! Go, go... become a hacker! He's made us suffer so much criticism!"
"Dad, stop talking... Ziyu already knows he's wrong..."
The girl gently comforted Jian Xiang.
But Jian Xiang clearly wasn't buying it. He pushed his daughter aside, walked up to Li Muhan and said, "I'm telling you, I don't care what you're doing here, but there's no such person as Lin Ziyu in our family! Get lost!"
Li Mu snorted coldly, raised his hand lightly and pushed the short and fat man aside, then he walked to Lin Ziyu's cousin.
"Boy! What are you going to do to my daughter?!"
The man was about to rush over in anger, but was driven back by Li Muhan's gaze.
Then Li Muhan ignored him and took out a bulging envelope from his arms and handed it to the shivering girl.
“T-this is…?”
"Lin Ziyu asked me to pass this on to you. No matter what he did before, this is his compensation."
The girl took the envelope and opened it with her fingers, revealing a large stack of money.
"What the hell is going on...?"
Jian Ying looked at the envelope in her hand with some disbelief, then looked at Li Muhan.
Li Muhan was a good judge of people. He could tell that Jian Ying didn't hate Lin Ziyu as much as her father did, so he tried his best to suppress his emotions and said softly, "He's encountered some problems now, and his life may be in danger."
"ah!?"
Jian Ying's eyes widened, and her hands holding the envelope were shaking.
"Isn't Xiaoyu serving his sentence in prison? What happened to him? Did he get into trouble in prison? "
Li Muhan looked at the anxious girl and it was difficult to hide the truth from her, so he said to her, "Well, he was stabbed in prison and was seriously injured. He is still undergoing surgery."
"Take me to him! Please!"
Jian Ying almost cried and begged Li Muhan, but Li Muhan also remembered Minister Lan's words and could tell them about Lin Ziyu's situation.
But you must never reveal anything about the Special Management Bureau.
Lin Ziyu is currently undergoing surgery in the medical department, so it is definitely impossible for them to meet.
So Li Muhan patted the girl's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the best doctor is operating on him now. He will recover soon. When the time comes... I will find a way to let you meet."
Jian Xiang's rude and arrogant attitude instantly disappeared after hearing the news that Lin Ziyu was in danger.
Instead, there was a deep worry. He slowly walked towards his daughter, gently replaced Li Muhan's position, and put his arm around her shoulders in his arms, with a hint of helplessness and sarcasm in his tone.
"Humph... This kid is really lucky. Even his mom and dad were killed by him. Don't worry, he won't leave so easily."
“But…but Dad…”
Li Muhan sensed the heavy atmosphere and slowly turned around, deciding to give them some time alone, and walked towards the door. His back looked so lonely, as if carrying endless worries.
"gentlemen……"
Jian Ying's voice sounded behind her. She hesitated for a moment, but decided to call Li Muhan.
"Are you...are you a police officer? Did Lin Ziyu really give us this money..."
Of course not, this is my private money.
Li Muhan complained in his heart.
But he still nodded and said, "Don't worry, this money is clean. Once he finishes the surgery and gets better, I'll arrange a meeting for you."
Li Muhan didn't tell them that there might be another situation.
That is, they may only be able to see Lin Ziyu's body after the failed operation.
Because Li Muhan himself didn't want to think about the occurrence of this situation, this could be considered a kind of self-comfort.
After walking out the door, Li Muhan could hear Jian Ying's sobs and Jian Xiang's heavy sighs.
He couldn't help but think that maybe Lin Ziyu's uncle was not as bad as he had imagined before. Many things in life are often in a gray area, and there is no absolute right or wrong.
This is a complex reality he has to accept.
It was getting dark when he left the community. He originally planned to go back home first, after all, Xia Yue was in a bad mood today.
But on the way, he was intercepted by Lin Ze's phone call.
Do you have time now? Let's do a mission report.
So thirty minutes later, he returned to the Special Management Bureau headquarters, Lin Ze's office, and this time Chang Yue was also present. It could be seen that Chang Yue was worried, and the cynicism between his brows was no longer there.
After listening to some briefings made by Li Muhan and the fact that two members of Team 7 were now lying in the hospital, Chang Yue rarely expressed his concern for Li Muhan.
"You should take a break during this period. On the 25th of next month, you will go on a business trip with Mo Qiao."
"On business trip?"
Damn it, he showed concern in the first half of the sentence and then started making plans for business trips in the second half, but the allowances for each business trip were shockingly high, and Li Muhan didn’t say anything.
But he still grasped the key point of Chang Yue's words.
"On a business trip with Minister Mo?"
Seeing that Lin Ze and Chang Yue both nodded, Li Muhan was a little troubled. Minister Mo was really difficult to serve. Not only did he have a bad temper, but he could hardly understand a few of what he said. He was obviously a college student, but in terms of academics, he couldn't even touch the toes of that kid.
"The Engineering Department is on a business trip. What are you asking me to do? Director Chang, Director Lin, I don't understand this either."
Chang Yue didn't hide anything and directly handed a briefing to Li Muhan.
"This business trip is about the Prometheus Project. The reason we asked you to go is because Moriarty has gained access to Prometheus's location through his last intrusion into the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau's network. Only you can stop him."
Li Muhan took the briefing and took a look at it, and suddenly felt dizzy.
After reading the entire report, I can only describe it in three words: poor student climbing up the ladder.
In short, there are too many professional terms. Li Muhan can't understand them, and the author can't understand them either. Although readers can understand them, the author cannot pretend to understand them. If it is written down, no one will understand it. How impolite.
Do you understand?
......
At the same time, deep in the mountains of Pingjing City, the military was working closely with the Special Management Bureau to carry out an operation.
The operation was kept extremely secret, and even some directors were unaware that their elite troops had already received direct cross-level orders and were transferred.
Su Xue's situation is somewhat similar. Her job is a long-range firepower sniper of the seventh team, but she is also directly under Lin Ze, just like Shuo Bai also has many direct troops.
And now she has been carrying out this secret mission in Pingjing City with the military and the Special Management Bureau for four months.
In this far northern mountain range, a cold land covered by eternal ice and snow, in addition to the perennial ice and snow and cold winter, there is a secret known only to a few members of the Special Management Bureau.
In this harsh environment, a special quarantine zone has been established to house abnormal creatures that pose a threat to humans and cannot be eliminated by traditional means.
Officially, it is called the Border City, implying that it is an isolated frontier area. However, in reality, it is more like a large, heavily guarded prison facility that holds all kinds of dangerous aliens.
Su Xue's military uniform had become tattered at this moment, and there was still blood at the corner of her mouth. She gritted her teeth, endured the severe pain, and struggled to get into a gloomy and dilapidated building.
Her left hand was almost numb, with blood dripping from the base of her palm, while her right hand tightly grasped the special pistol made by the Special Management Bureau, ready to respond to any possible crisis at any time.
When the old door creaked open in a gust of cold wind, she held her breath, waiting for the unknown to arrive.
Snap——
Snap——
The dull sound of footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, accompanied by a deep male voice, which spread in the darkness like the whisper of a devil.
"Little Lamb, where have you been hiding?"
Su Xue tried her best to calm her rapid breathing. This mission to investigate possible riots in the border city had lasted for four long months.
Just when they were about to reveal the enemy's true identity, they unfortunately fell into a trap carefully set by the other side. The team suffered heavy losses and was almost destroyed.
While fleeing, she accidentally obtained key intelligence: the degree of corruption in this border city far exceeded the expectations of the Special Management Bureau, and the chaos and danger inside it were beyond imagination.
And because of the existence of that thing, it poses a threat to the Chinese world that cannot be ignored.
"I heard you, little one... I'll count to ten. Come out on your own and I can get you out of Border City."
Su Xue's left hand slowly tightened around the pistol. Now she couldn't even open the realm again, but she had to convey what was happening here to the troops outside the city...
"Ten, nine, eight..."
The strange voice was getting closer and closer to Su Xue, as if it already knew where she was, but it still enjoyed the pleasure of forcing its prey into a desperate situation.
"It's almost time!"
She took a deep breath, finally made up her mind, and used her teeth to eject a bullet from the chamber. The bullet fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
A huge black shadow appeared in front of Su Xue.
"......One, the game is over."
