#2513 - Full of struggle

He Chenguang was silent. He knew Qin Yuan's strengths and weaknesses, and he also knew that he had no room for resistance. But he couldn't betray his comrades!

"Why, you don't want to?" Qin Yuan's eyes flashed with a cold light, "Don't forget, you are my prisoner now, you are not qualified to negotiate with me!"

"I..." He Chenguang clenched his teeth. He knew that he was in a dilemma.

"I'll give you three seconds to think about it." Qin Yuan said coldly, "Three..."

"two……"

"Wait!" He Chenguang suddenly said, "I can help you find Wang Yanbing, but I have a condition."

"Conditions?" Qin Yuan looked at He Chenguang with interest. "Tell me about it."

"I want you to promise that you won't hurt him." He Chenguang looked directly into Qin Yuan's eyes and said word by word.

"Heh." Qin Yuan chuckled, as if he had heard a funny joke. "Do you think you are qualified to negotiate terms with me?"

He Chenguang didn't say anything, but just looked straight at Qin Yuan, his eyes full of determination.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and finally, Qin Yuan was the first to look away.

"I can promise you that I won't hurt him." Qin Yuan said calmly, "But he must come with me."

"Where are you going?" He Chenguang asked.

"Don't ask if you shouldn't." Qin Yuan glanced at He Chenguang coldly, "You just need to tell me, do you agree or not?"

He Chenguang fell silent. He didn't know whether he should believe Qin Yuan, but he knew that if he didn't agree, Wang Yanbing might be in greater danger...

He Chenguang clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, and he was struggling fiercely. On one side was his comrade whose life and death were uncertain, and on the other side was the powerful and despairing "God of Death". After a long silence, he seemed to have made a major decision, took a deep breath, and slowly uttered three words: "I agree."

Qin Yuan's face showed no sign of fluctuation, as if he had expected this, and he simply said, "Lead the way."

He Chenguang turned and walked out of the woods, while Qin Yuan followed him slowly. The two of them walked in silence, with only the rustling sound of their feet on the fallen leaves echoing in the silent woods.

"Who are you?" After walking for a long time, He Chenguang finally couldn't help but ask.

Qin Yuan paused, turned his head and looked at him, with a playful smile on his face: "Why, are you curious now?"

"I just want to know who I'm working with." He Chenguang met Qin Yuan's gaze without showing any weakness.

"Cooperation? Do you think that we have an equal cooperative relationship?" Qin Yuan chuckled, his tone full of sarcasm.

He Chenguang was speechless. He had to admit that Qin Yuan was right. He was in a completely passive position and had no right to discuss cooperation with him.

"You just need to know that I have no ill will towards your friend." Qin Yuan said calmly, "Of course, the premise is that he cooperates enough."

He Chenguang didn't say anything, but just quickened his pace. He just wanted to find Wang Yanbing as soon as possible and figure out what was going on.

…

At the Red Cell Special Operations Team's base, Wang Yanbing was doing his daily physical training. He had been feeling uneasy since the last mission, always feeling that something was going to happen.

"Yanbing, what's wrong with you today? You seem absent-minded?" Li Erniu asked breathlessly while carrying a thick piece of wood.

"It's okay, maybe I'm too tired from the training." Wang Yanbing said casually, but his eyes drifted involuntarily into the distance.

"You kid, you must be hiding something from me!" Li Erniu put down the wood, walked to Wang Yanbing, and nudged him with his elbow, "Tell me, are you thinking about women?"

"Get out!" Wang Yanbing cursed with a smile, but he felt even more annoyed.

At this time, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard, and He Chenguang's figure appeared at the entrance of the training ground.

"Chen Guang, why are you back?" Seeing this, Wang Yanbing hurriedly went to greet him.

He Chenguang didn't answer, but looked at him with a complicated expression, then turned his head to look behind him. Wang Yanbing was puzzled, and followed his gaze to see a tall figure slowly walking towards him.

The man had a tall and straight figure, sharp features, a pair of deep eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and a cold murderous aura emanated from his whole body.

"Qin Yuan?!" Wang Yanbing recognized the man at a glance and his face changed drastically.

"Long time no see, Wang Yanbing." Qin Yuan raised a cold arc at the corner of his mouth and approached him step by step.

Wang Yanbing subconsciously took a step back, clenched his fists, and his eyes were full of vigilance: "What do you want to do?"

"I'll take you away." Qin Yuan said calmly, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

"Take me away?" Wang Yanbing sneered, "Who do you think you are? Why should I go with you?"

"Just because of this." As soon as Qin Yuan finished speaking, his figure flashed and he appeared in front of Wang Yanbing in an instant, and one hand grabbed his neck like lightning.

"You..." Wang Yanbing squeezed out a word from between his teeth with difficulty, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness.

"You should be thankful. He needs you alive now." Qin Yuan glanced at him coldly, then turned to look at He Chenguang, "Lead the way."

He Chenguang took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, turned around and walked out of the training ground. He knew that he had no choice but to obey.

Wang Yanbing was held hostage by Qin Yuan, following behind He Chenguang, watching all this with complicated eyes, his heart full of doubts and uneasiness. He didn't know what was waiting for him, but his intuition told him that a huge storm was coming...

…

In a desolate Gobi Desert, there stands a heavily guarded military base. This is the headquarters of the Langya Special Operations Brigade and a sacred place in the hearts of countless special forces soldiers.

A military jeep came speeding and stopped at the gate of the base. The door opened, and Qin Yuan got out first, followed by the pale-faced He Chenguang and the unwilling Wang Yanbing.

"Stop! Who are you?" Two fully armed sentinels blocked their way and asked vigilantly.

Qin Yuan didn't say anything, but took out a black token from his pocket and handed it to the sentry.

The sentry took the token, carefully identified it, his face suddenly changed, and he stood at attention and saluted: "Commander!"

Qin Yuan took the token and walked straight to the gate of the base without even looking at them. He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing looked at each other, and saw shock and confusion in each other's eyes. What exactly is this token? Why can the heavily guarded Langya base let them pass so easily?

After entering the base, Qin Yuan walked straight to an inconspicuous office building, while He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing were escorted by two soldiers and followed behind him.

On the second floor of the office building, in a spacious office, Fan Tianlei was sitting at his desk, looking at the documents in his hands with a frown.

"Report!"

"Come in."

Qin Yuan pushed the door open and walked in, followed closely by He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing.

"Qin Yuan? Why are you back?" When Fan Tianlei saw the person coming, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, but it was quickly covered up by a serious expression. "Also, what's going on with these two?"

"I need them to assist me in completing a task." Qin Yuan said calmly, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

"Mission? What mission?" Fan Tianlei frowned, his eyes scanning back and forth between Qin Yuan and Wang Yanbing, "Speak clearly!"

Qin Yuan didn't say anything, but walked to the desk and placed a black chip in front of Fan Tianlei.

Fan Tianlei picked up the chip and examined it carefully. His expression suddenly became extremely solemn: "Where did you get this thing from?"

"It's not important." Qin Yuan said in a cold tone, "What's important is that it is related to national security, and..."

He paused, glanced at He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing, and raised a playful arc at the corner of his mouth: "...your fate."

Qin Yuan's words were like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves. Fan Tianlei stood up suddenly, staring at the black chip, as if it was the key to the fate of the world. He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing looked at each other, not understanding what was going on. They could only feel a sense of depression in the air.

"What on earth is in this chip?" Fan Tianlei asked in a deep voice, with a barely perceptible tremor in his tone.

"A list." Qin Yuan's tone was still calm, as if he was talking about something insignificant. "A key list related to overseas spy networks."

"Spy network?!" Wang Yanbing couldn't help but exclaimed, but He Chenguang covered his mouth. Although He Chenguang was also shocked, he knew that now was not the time to ask questions, so he could only use his eyes to signal Wang Yanbing to keep quiet.

"What the hell are you doing, kid?" Fan Tianlei slammed the table and glared at Qin Yuan. "Don't think that just because you have done a great deed, you can play tricks in front of me! Tell me! Where did you get this chip? Why did you involve the people from Red Blood Cell?"

"I told you, this is related to national security and their fate." Qin Yuan was not moved at all, and his eyes swept over He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing sharply, "They both must come with me."

"Bullshit!" Wang Yanbing pushed He Chenguang away and pointed at Qin Yuan's nose and cursed, "Who do you think you are? Why should we follow you? I am from the Red Blood Cells and I only follow the orders of Chief of Staff Fan!"

Qin Yuan glanced at Wang Yanbing coldly, as if he was looking at a clown, which made Wang Yanbing feel creepy.

"Yan Bing!" He Chenguang held Wang Yan Bing back, signaling him not to act rashly. He turned to Qin Yuan, trying to keep his tone calm, "Qin Yuan, I know you are very skilled and have made many contributions, but you can't force me like this, right? We red blood cells have our own mission, and we can't listen to your orders alone."

"Really?" Qin Yuan sneered, "What if I say that there are people from your Red Blood Cells on this list?"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderclap exploding in the ears of He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing. The two of them froze in place, their faces turning extremely pale in an instant.

"You...what did you say?" He Chenguang's voice trembled a little. He couldn't believe his ears, and was even more unwilling to believe Qin Yuan's words.

Qin Yuan didn't say anything, just threw the chip in his hand to Fan Tianlei, turned around and walked to the window, looking at the training ground in the distance, and said lightly: "Believe it or not, but this is all I have to say. If you want to find out the truth, come with me."

Fan Tianlei took the chip, quickly inserted it into the computer, and began to read the contents. As lines of code flashed by, his expression became more and more ugly, and even a layer of fine cold sweat seeped out of his forehead.

Seeing Fan Tianlei's reaction, He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing's hearts sank to the bottom. They knew that Qin Yuan was not lying, and this list really concerned the life and death of red blood cells!

"Okay, I'll go with you." He Chenguang took a deep breath and his eyes became determined. He knew that now was not the time to hesitate. For the sake of red blood cells and to find out the truth, he had to take a risk.

“Chenguang!” Wang Yanbing grabbed He Chenguang’s arm, his face full of worry and anxiety, “This is too dangerous. We don’t know what he’s going to do. What if…”

"Nothing will happen." He Chenguang interrupted Wang Yanbing, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a steady tone, "Trust me, I'll be fine."

After saying that, he resolutely walked to Qin Yuan's side, looked at him firmly, and said, "Let's go."

Qin Yuan didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, then turned and walked out the door. He Chenguang followed closely behind, leaving Wang Yanbing alone standing there, his face full of struggle and worry.

"Chief of Staff Fan..." Wang Yanbing looked at Fan Tianlei, his eyes full of requests for help.

Fan Tianlei looked at Wang Yanbing deeply and said in a deep voice: "Go, be careful."

After getting Fan Tianlei's permission, Wang Yanbing felt like a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. He heaved a long sigh of relief and quickly caught up with Qin Yuan and He Chenguang.

The three walked out of the office building and came to a black SUV. Qin Yuan opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat first, while He Chenguang and Wang Yanbing sat on the left and right in the back seat.

"Fasten your seat belts." Qin Yuan said coldly, then stepped on the accelerator. The black SUV rushed out of the Langya base like an arrow and disappeared into the night...

No one knows what awaits them, but they all know that a battle of life and death has just begun.

The black SUV was running wildly in the night like a roaring beast. Qin Yuan gripped the steering wheel tightly with both hands, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. He Chenguang sat in the back row with a frown on his face, and his mind kept replaying Fan Tianlei's expression and the shocking codes in the chip. Wang Yanbing seemed a little restless. He looked out the window from time to time, and occasionally stole a glance at Qin Yuan, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

"Just ask whatever you want to ask. Don't act like a woman." Qin Yuan spoke coldly, breaking the silence in the car. (End of this chapter)
