Chapter 199 Absolute Trust
Ding Baian was startled by Cheng Sinian's words and subconsciously glanced at Jiang Zhan.
Jiang Zhan had a blank expression on his face, as if he hadn't heard them talking about him at all.
Ding Bo'an's heart trembled, but after thinking it over, he insisted, "If it's inconvenient for us to sit in on the class, I can definitely find a separate room for you. You're all very popular right now, and it would be bad if you were targeted."
Who among the mercenary hunting team in the base doesn’t know about the pendulum?
The combination of handsome men and beautiful women is very efficient in completing tasks. If they go out with several level 4 teams, they can get 30% of the task rewards.
Although everything seems calm on the surface, who isn't watching them secretly?
Qiao Yu thought about it carefully and felt that what Ding Baian said made sense.
Since he truly cared about them and didn't mind bloodshed, there was no need for them to worry about it.
So Qiao Yu nodded, "Okay. Thank you for your help."
Ding Baian quickly took Qiao Yu and others to a storage room.
This room has no windows and is very soundproof.
Qiao Yu looked around and felt that Ding Baian was indeed very reliable.
Ding Boan brought in a solar-powered camping lantern and went to the Situlanya restaurant to get four chairs. As he placed them in the room, he said to the four people, "Do you need anything else?"
"No thanks." Cheng Sinian took the two chairs and said, "Old Ding, this is for your own good... I advise you not to look at it for a while and just wait outside. But if you are really curious, you can come in and take a look."
Seeing Cheng Sinian's face full of confusion, Ding Baian shook his head firmly, "...I think, actually, I'm not that curious."
After saying that, Ding Baian strode out and closed the door considerately.
After walking out of the house, Ding Baian stood at the door for a long time without moving.
He is reflecting.
Teammates who once fought side by side have now become like this. What went wrong?
But for Xu Xin, he has really done his best.
"Captain..." Xu Zishan's worried and concerned face appeared in Ding Baian's sight.
She stood in the light source next to the stairs, looking very bright.
It was like two different worlds compared to the darkness where he was.
Ding Baian suddenly felt relieved and walked to Xu Zishan with a smile, "It's okay, let's go. Don't stand here."
Since Cheng Sinian has reminded him like that, the interrogation scene will definitely not be a good look, and Xu Zishan is not suitable to stay here.
Xu Zishan nodded when she heard this, and as she followed Ding Baian out, she glanced in the direction of the storage room and pursed her lips, "Xu Xin..."
Ding Baian shook his head, his expression calm, "He provoked someone he shouldn't have provoked. Now it's no longer something we can interfere with."
--
When Xu Xin woke up, he felt as if his whole body had been hit by a hammer, and there was a dull pain.
His hands and feet were tied, and it was dark around him. Xu Xin squinted his eyes and found himself in the storage room of the villa. Qiao Yu and the other three were sitting opposite him, looking down at him.
"You guys..." Xu Xin's voice trembled slightly, "What do you want to do?!"
He is now tied up in the storage room, which means that the captain and the others must know about it.
Xu Xin gritted his teeth. He couldn't believe Ding Baian could be so cruel as to treat him like this!
"Did you hit your head and made yourself stupid? How come you have lost your memory?" Cheng Sinian scratched his brow, a wicked smile on his face, "Don't you know what we want to do?"
Xu Xin was indeed hit hard that time, and his mind is still confused.
It was not until he heard Cheng Sinian's question that Xu Xin suddenly remembered that the topic they were talking about before was the matter of Xia Chao and Xia Mu, brother and sister.
"Young man, I advise you to tell us everything as soon as possible." Cheng Sinian raised his chin towards Xu Xin with a bully look on his face.
Seeing this, a trace of panic flashed across Xu Xin's face. He suddenly shouted, "I... I don't want to return to the team. I can tell you the news, but it only takes two hundred crystal cores... No! One hundred crystal cores will do!"
But just as Xu Xin finished his words, a wave of air suddenly surged in the air, and with two "swishes" four cuts were made on Xu Xin's body.
"ah--"
The blood spurted out and soon dyed the wall and the ground behind Xu Xin red.
“You guys…ah—”
He opened his eyes wide and looked at Jiang Zhan standing in front of him with some fear. Just as he was about to say something, he felt pain again in his body, and he couldn't help but cry out in pain.
It hurts so much...
My head felt like it was being pricked by needles, and my body was extremely sensitive.
It was clearly just a flesh wound, but it hurt as if even the bones were cut.
Qiao Yu looked at the scene in front of him calmly and said calmly, "Xu Xin, do you think you still have room to negotiate with us now?"
That's how people are. Even though they've been given opportunities before, they still want to push for more, and only when their greed bites back do they realize what "contentment is happiness" means.
Xu Xin's screams of pain were heard outside the door and were soon heard by Ding Baian and several of his team members upstairs.
Jiang Zhan deliberately set up the spiritual barrier outside the villa.
In other words, anyone in this villa has to endure Xu Xin's screams at all times.
He is not as kind as Qiao Yu, who is always willing to trust others.
In his world, absolute fear is the king of the world.
He would never try to exchange sincerity for sincerity.
Because human hearts are greedy and fickle, and are never worth trusting.
Only the fear engraved in the bones and the absolute submission that makes people dare not even think of resistance can satisfy Jiang Zhan.
He wanted to let Ding Baian and his teammates know that if they dared to anger them, they would have to be prepared to pay a thousand times the price.
Jiang Zhan's method of "killing the chicken to scare the monkey" was indeed very effective. Now, except for Ding Baian, the other four team members in the villa began to tremble unconsciously.
"Captain..." Xu Zishan's face turned pale, and she pulled Ding Baian's clothes with some fear.
The other three team members were not much better, and they all quietly moved closer to Ding Baian.
Ding Baian patted Xu Zishan's head gently, then scanned the four people's faces with a serious look, and whispered, "Don't be afraid. Although they are indeed a bit cruel, they still have a bottom line. As long as we don't infringe on their interests, they will naturally not attack us."
"But... didn't you just say that we'll soon be working under them?" One of the team members pursed his lips and said anxiously, "What if we don't meet their requirements by then? What if..."
"No." Ding Baian shook his head firmly.
Although Jiang Zhan always gave him a dangerous feeling, but...
"I trust Captain Joe. She's definitely not that kind of person."
