#2523 - Get to the bottom of this!

"Now that you're here, take a seat." Fan Tianlei took a deep puff of cigarette and said slowly, "Have you heard about Qin Yuan's incident?"

"Report! I heard it!" the three answered in unison.

"Old Fan, you can't blame Brother Qin for this!" Wang Yanbing was impatient and was the first to jump out. "Those two bastards colluded with foreign forces and sought glory for themselves. They deserve to die!"

"Shut up! Is it your turn to speak here?" Fan Tianlei glared at him, "Things are not as simple as you think! Chen Feng's father is..."

"We can't just stand by and watch Brother Qin get bullied!" Wang Yanbing stiffened his neck, "He was trying to complete his mission! If they really investigate, I'll be the first to disagree!"

"That's right! That's right!" Li Erniu also echoed, speaking in a muffled voice.

Although He Chenguang didn't say anything, Fan Tianlei knew from his clenched fists and determined eyes that this guy had the same idea as Wang Yanbing.

Fan Tianlei sighed. These guys were all very loyal, but in this society, problems could not be solved just by loyalty. He had to think of a way to save Qin Yuan and calm the storm.

"Okay, I understand your intentions." Fan Tianlei waved his hand, "I will take care of this matter, don't worry about it."

"But..." Wang Yanbing wanted to say something, but was stopped by He Chenguang.

"Report! We believe you!" He Chenguang saluted, and the three turned and left the office.

After seeing off the three people, Fan Tianlei had an even bigger headache. He picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, old leader, it's me, Xiao Fan... Oh, don't mention it, something happened..."

"Bang!"

The dormitory door was pushed open suddenly, and Wang Yanbing rushed in and pulled Qin Yuan up.

"Brother Qin, let's go! Let's have a drink!"

"No." Qin Yuan closed his eyes and said lazily.

"No, Brother Qin, I know you feel bad. Come on, your brothers will accompany you!" Wang Yanbing pulled Qin Yuan out without saying anything.

"Go away, I don't have to feel bad for anything." Qin Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and could only let Wang Yanbing drag him away.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, He Chenguang and Li Erniu had already prepared the food and wine and were waiting for them.

"Come on, Brother Qin, we brothers haven't had a drink together for a long time!" Wang Yanbing said, filling Qin Yuan's glass with wine.

"That's right, Brother Qin, don't think too much, just drink up!" Li Erniu also raised his glass.

Qin Yuan looked at the three brothers in front of him, and his heart warmed. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

"You can drink a lot!" Wang Yanbing cheered and poured another glass for Qin Yuan. "Brother Qin, don't worry. No matter what happens, we are on your side!"

"Yes! Whoever dares to touch you must first ask the gun in my hand if it agrees!" Wang Yanbing slammed the table and said indignantly.

"With your limited shooting skills, you'd better practice first!" He Chenguang joked with a smile.

"You..." Wang Yanbing was choked and said unconvincedly, "If you can do it, go ahead!"

"Come on, who's afraid of who!" He Chenguang was not willing to be outdone, and the two started arguing again.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing." Qin Yuan interrupted them, "Drink, drink!"

The four of them clinked glasses and after three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere became lively.

"Hey, what do you think? Where should we go to have fun after this mission is over?" Wang Yanbing asked.

"I want to go to the beach." Li Erniu said honestly, "I haven't seen the sea yet!"

"The beach? Great!" Wang Yanbing was interested. "Let's go to Sanya. I heard the girls there are so pretty..."

"What are you thinking about!" He Chenguang knocked him on the head, "You know, girls, be serious!"

"Ouch!" Wang Yanbing covered his head and said aggrievedly, "Just tell me what happened, but you didn't say you were really going..."

"Okay, stop making trouble." Qin Yuan interrupted them and looked at He Chenguang, "Where do you want to go?"

"I..." He Chenguang hesitated, "I want to go..."

Before he could finish his words, the door of the cafeteria was suddenly pushed open, and a tall woman in military uniform walked in.

"Qin Yuan, come with me." The woman's tone was cold and left no room for questioning.

Qin Yuan looked at the woman in front of him, frowning slightly. He knew that trouble was coming.

The cafeteria suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on the woman at the door. The woman was dressed in a straight military uniform, looking heroic, with a black beret pulled down so that people couldn't see her face clearly, but from her cold temperament and sharp eyes, one could feel a strong sense of oppression.

"Hey, isn't this the cold-faced devil of the Thunder Commando? What brings you here?" Wang Yanbing smiled nonchalantly, with a hint of provocation in his tone.

The woman glanced at Wang Yanbing coldly, her eyes scraping across him like a knife, making Wang Yanbing feel goosebumps in his heart and shrink his neck unconsciously.

"I'm looking for Qin Yuan. Does it have anything to do with you?" The woman's tone was cold, without a trace of warmth.

Wang Yanbing was choked by her and was speechless. He could only shut his mouth awkwardly.

Qin Yuan put down his wine glass, stood up, and looked at the woman calmly, "What do you want from me?"

The woman walked up to Qin Yuan and said, "My superiors order you to come with me now."

"What order? On what basis?" Wang Yanbing couldn't help but jump out again. He hated it most when others showed off in front of him, especially when the target was Qin Yuan.

The woman ignored Wang Yanbing and repeated coldly: "The superior ordered that you be taken back for investigation."

"Investigation? Investigate what?" He Chenguang also stood up. "What did Brother Qin do to be investigated?"

"This is confidential," the woman said expressionlessly, "You have no right to ask."

"Bullshit!" Wang Yanbing finally couldn't help cursing, "Who do you think we are? Can you just take people away when I say so?"

A hint of impatience flashed in the woman's eyes. She reached out to grab Qin Yuan's arm, but Qin Yuan dodged her hand easily.

"I will leave by myself." Qin Yuan said calmly, "But I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation."

The woman looked at Qin Yuan deeply and said, "You will know." Then she turned and walked out of the cafeteria.

Qin Yuan patted Wang Yanbing on the shoulder, signaling him to stay calm, and then followed the woman out of the cafeteria.

"Brother Qin!" Wang Yanbing wanted to say something, but was stopped by He Chenguang. "Don't be impulsive. Let's go ask Chief of Staff Fan what's going on."

Li Erniu was so anxious that he scratched his head and said, "What on earth is going on? Why was Brother Qin taken away just like that?"

He Chenguang frowned, "It seems that this matter is not simple, we have to find a solution quickly."

On the other side, Qin Yuan followed the woman to a heavily guarded secret base. The woman took him into an interrogation room, which had only a table and two chairs, dim lighting, and a depressing atmosphere.

Qin Yuan was forced to sit on a chair, his hands cuffed to the table. He raised his head and looked at the woman standing in front of him, "Can you tell me now? Why did you arrest me?"

The woman took off her hat, revealing a delicate and cold face. She had neat short hair, eyes as sharp as a hawk, and a cold aura all over her body. "Qin Yuan, my name is..."

Before she could finish her words, the door of the interrogation room was suddenly kicked open and a figure rushed in angrily.

"Who the hell dares to kick my door?!"

With a roar, the lights in the interrogation room flickered. Fan Tianlei rushed in like an angry lion, followed by anxious He Chenguang, Wang Yanbing and Li Erniu.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Chief of Staff Fan!" When the woman saw the person coming, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly returned to her cold look.

"You bitch, who gave you the guts to touch my people?!" Fan Tianlei grabbed the woman by the collar and lifted her up like a chicken.

"Fan Tianlei, watch your words and actions!" the woman shouted sternly, not afraid of the anger in Fan Tianlei's eyes at all, "I am following orders from my superiors!"

"An order from the superior? Bullshit! I want to see who is so bold as to touch my people!" Fan Tianlei threw the woman aside, walked to Qin Yuan, checked him carefully, and was relieved to see that he was not injured.

"Qin Yuan, are you okay?"

Qin Yuan shook his head, stood up, moved his wrists which were numb from being handcuffed, and stared at the woman fiercely, "You haven't told me yet, why did you arrest me?"

"This is the highest level of military secrets, you have no right to ask about it!" The woman said with a cold face, straightened her collar that was messed up by Fan Tianlei, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes.

"The highest level of military secrets?" Wang Yanbing sneered, "What kind of bullshit secrets are we not allowed to know? I think you are just too guilty to tell us!"

"Wang Yanbing!" He Chenguang pulled him and signaled him not to be impulsive.

"Shut the fuck up!" Fan Tianlei roared, and the entire interrogation room suddenly became quiet. "Tell me! What's going on?"

The woman took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. "Three days ago, a secret military research institute was attacked by unknown armed elements. A large amount of important information and research results were stolen. Qin Yuan is the biggest suspect!"

"What?!" Wang Yanbing was the first to jump up. "This is impossible! How could Brother Qin…"

"Bullshit! I know the soldiers I trained better than anyone else!" Fan Tianlei slammed his fist on the table, causing the documents on the table to jump up. "Don't you know who Qin Yuan is? Is he someone who can do such a thing?!"

The woman looked at Fan Tianlei coldly, "The order I received is to take Qin Yuan away for investigation. If you have any objections, you can appeal to your superiors."

"Appeal? I'm taking him away now, and I'll see who dares to stop me!" Fan Tianlei grabbed Qin Yuan's arm and prepared to leave.

"Let's see who dares!" The woman stood at the door, with a pistol in her hand, the black muzzle pointing directly at Fan Tianlei.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"How dare you point a gun at me?!" Fan Tianlei's eyes were as big as copper bells, and he was furious.

"Chief of Staff Fan, I advise you to calm down," He Chenguang walked to Fan Tianlei and whispered, "Things haven't been figured out yet, don't be impulsive."

Fan Tianlei took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. He knew that now was not the time to act on impulse. He let go of Qin Yuan's arm and stared at the woman with a gloomy look, "Okay, I'll give you face today, but I'll make this clear. If Qin Yuan loses a hair, I'll tear down this shabby place of yours!"

"Hmph!" The woman snorted coldly, put away her pistol, and stepped aside to make way. "Go ahead!"

Fan Tianlei led Qin Yuan and others out of the interrogation room. Before leaving, Qin Yuan looked at the woman deeply. That look seemed to be able to see through all disguises.

The woman felt a little uneasy when he looked at her, and she unconsciously avoided his gaze.

In the corridor, He Chenguang walked up to Qin Yuan and asked in a low voice: "Brother Qin, what's going on? Are you really..."

"I'm fine," Qin Yuan patted his shoulder and said calmly, "The innocent will be innocent, believe me."

"But..." He Chenguang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Qin Yuan.

"Let's go back first."

…

Back in the dormitory, Fan Tianlei sat on the chair with a gloomy face, not saying a word.

"Damn it! What the hell is going on?" Wang Yanbing slammed his fist on the table, causing the water cup on the table to jump up. "Who is framing Brother Qin?"

"We don't know yet," He Chenguang frowned, "It seems that this matter is not simple. We have to find a way to find out."

"Investigate! We must get to the bottom of this!" Li Erniu said indignantly.

Qin Yuan sat on the bed, saying nothing, and kept thinking about what the woman had said: "Secret military research institute...unknown armed elements...important information and research results..."

These key words made him vaguely feel that this matter might not be as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Fan Tianlei took a gulp of strong tea, which dripped down his stubble and spread a dark color on his camouflage uniform. "Damn it! How dare these bastards touch my people?!" He slammed the teacup on the table, causing the documents on the table to jump up.

Wang Yanbing was so anxious that he kept scratching his head. "Thunder God, what should we do now? We can't let Brother Qin take the blame for no reason, right?"

He Chenguang was always calm, but he frowned at this moment. "This matter is very strange. The woman's origin is unknown, and she insisted that she was Brother Qin. I'm worried..."

"Don't worry about it!" Fan Tianlei interrupted him rudely, "I still don't believe it. In this open and clear world, can anyone bully me?!" He stood up suddenly, "I'm going to find the old leader right now. I don't believe he won't give me an explanation!"

Just then, there was a knock on the dormitory door.

"Report!" A clear female voice came from outside the door.

Fan Tianlei shouted impatiently: "Come in!"

The door was pushed open, and a heroic female officer in military uniform walked in. She was tall, with delicate features, and a neat short hair that made her look more capable.

"Thor, long time no see. You're still as hot-tempered as ever." The female officer had a smile on her lips, but her eyes were as sharp as an eagle.

When Fan Tianlei saw the person coming, he was stunned at first, then his brows frowned even more tightly, "It's you? What are you doing here?"

"Why, you don't welcome me?" The female officer walked to the table, pulled over a chair and sat down gracefully. "I'm here to take you to see someone."
