That evening, when Gu Yanlin and Zhao Rui returned to the villa, they were severely reprimanded by Chu Guodong, who punished them by making them skip dinner and requiring each of them to submit a 10,000-word self-criticism.
Gu Yanlin looked to his sister and brother-in-law for help, but was met with two helpless looks in return.
Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao, as the second victims, were happy with this punishment and even thought that the punishment imposed on Chu State was too lenient.
The next day, the rest of Squad 532 learned the specific reason why Gu Yanlin and Zhao Rui were punished, and they joined forces to beat them up again.
The fact that the two men had bruises all over their faces when they went to the Tenglong collection team only added to the rumors.
No one from Team 532 escaped unscathed from this rumor, including Zhao Rui and Gu Yanlin, who started the rumor.
However, there are also some benefits to this whole ordeal.
Gu Yanlin and Zhao Rui discovered that someone had been secretly watching their every move these past few days, which was slightly different from the surveillance they received when they joined the Tenglong Search Team, where their strength was assessed.
Until this day, during the lunch break, a person from the Tenglong collection team who usually had a very low profile walked towards them mysteriously.
Gu Yanlin and Zhao Rui are the youngest members of the Tenglong Search Team, so everyone in the team calls them "Little Gu" and "Little Zhao".
"Brother Wang, is there something you need?" Gu Yanlin asked in confusion. The person called Brother Wang usually had a very low profile in the team. The two of them only knew of him and didn't have much contact with him.
Brother Wang lowered his voice and went straight to the point: "Do you two want to leave the team?"
"Leave the team? We're doing just fine here, why would we leave?" Gu Yanlin feigned ignorance.
"I'm not talking about our Tenglong Collection Team, I mean, that group you're in now, I don't know their name. But there's an opportunity for you to break free from that Chu guy's control."
"Really? Brother Wang, you really have a way?" Zhao Rui and Gu Yanlin both exclaimed excitedly.
Brother Wang frowned, put his finger to his lips, and said, "Shh, keep it down." In his heart, his opinion of Team 532 dropped even further.
Looking at these two greenhorns in front of me, I really don't know what's so special about this so-called special forces team.
"Brother Wang, what's the solution? Tell me quickly," Zhao Rui asked impatiently in a low voice.
"I'm here on someone else's behalf. Someone can't stand seeing you being bullied every day and wants to help you out, but we need your consent. We all need to work together."
For several days, Gu Yanlin and Zhao Rui had new injuries every day. In addition, when the two mentioned the other members of the 532 squad, they all looked aggrieved and unwilling to talk much. Finally, the people behind Brother Wang thought that they were being bullied in the team and must be eager to leave. That's why they started to contact them.
"But Brother Wang, what about my sister and brother-in-law?"
"Don't worry about that. We have a comprehensive plan. As long as you agree, we guarantee that your sister and brother-in-law will not be harmed in the slightest. Besides, your sister is almost recovered, right? It will be easier to move her then."
Gu Yanzhi has been persisting with rehabilitation, and goes to the hospital to check on his recovery whenever he has time. After a doctor's assessment, Gu Yanzhi's injury has healed, and he just needs to walk more to regain his sense of walking.
Now Gu Yanzhi is completely free from the wheelchair, and people in the villa area often see the very good-looking couple strolling hand in hand on the street during the day.
"Then what do we need to do, Brother Wang?" Gu Yanlin's tone was full of anxiety, as if he couldn't wait for me to leave.
Brother Wang lowered his voice even further, told the two men about their plan, then slipped a package into their hands and left quietly.
After Brother Wang left, Gu Yanlin and Zhao Rui exchanged a smile. The fish had taken the bait.
Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao have also made a breakthrough in their work at the hospital.
The two pretended to go to the hospital to have their legs checked every day. With Li Sheng's help, they had successfully found several suspicious places in the hospital and were just waiting for an opportunity to investigate them one by one.
That evening, Gu Yanlin and Zhao Rui returned to the villa with the package that Brother Wang had given them.
Without much discussion, the nine people immediately decided on a plan to turn the tables on the other side.
According to Brother Wang, what he gave them was a packet of strong sleeping pills. Most people would be asleep for at least a day and a night after taking them, and for someone like their special forces team who had received professional training, being asleep for a whole day was no problem.
In Brother Wang's plan, Gu Yanlin and Zhao Rui would find an opportunity to put sleeping pills in their food or water, and then their men would take care of the rest of the 532 squad without them noticing.
The remaining four can choose to stay at the Lotus City base or leave, and they will not stop them.
As for the fate of the entire 532 squad, and whether anyone from above will come to investigate, Brother Wang said that his people have confirmed through reliable sources that no one knows the 532 squad is in Liancheng. With things so chaotic outside, their disappearance could easily be attributed to an accident on the road, and they can't be traced back to the Liancheng base.
With information so scarce these days, if the four of them change their names or locations, it will be like searching for a needle in a haystack; no one will be able to find them.
Of course, what Brother Wang called "reliable information" was just a smokescreen deliberately released by someone Chu Guodong knew through special means.
To prevent any unforeseen complications, Chu Guodong made a decision immediately and took action the very next night.
The next day, Gu Yanzhi and Song Zhao met with Li Sheng again under the pretext of going to the hospital and discussed their latest plan.
One of them was operating openly, while the other was operating covertly; they were determined to find out exactly what the Liancheng base was up to.
That evening, Brother Wang received a signal that Gu Yanlin had succeeded. More than an hour later, estimating that the medicine had taken effect, he arrived at the villa with a group of men in black.
The villa door wasn't locked, and Brother Wang opened it with a gentle push.
They opened the door as if they knew the way well.
There, Gu Yanzhi and the other three were sitting casually in the living room. When they heard the noise at the door, all four pairs of eyes turned to look at Brother Wang, who was leading the group.
Stared at by four pairs of sinister eyes, Brother Wang was startled and couldn't help but complain, "Little Gu, didn't I tell you to go to sleep early?" "I'm just too excited and can't sleep. Brother Wang, hurry up and go upstairs. I've checked and they're all asleep," Gu Yanlin casually explained, urging Brother Wang to get to work.
"Alright, I'll take you somewhere else first, it's not convenient to stay here." After saying that, Brother Wang led a few people to surround the four of them and dragged them out.
"Brother Wang, what are you doing?" Zhao Rui said with dissatisfaction, as if they were prisoners being escorted.
"Sorry, sorry, they're used to it. Just bear with it, we'll be there soon," Brother Wang said, his words lacking sincerity. He didn't seem to suggest that his men try a different method of "protection."
