He felt more at ease after getting into the car.
This vehicle could withstand not only heavy sniper rifles but also rocket launchers.
No one spoke in the car.
Zhao Lei and Jin Kaiyu still couldn't believe that in this day and age, someone would dare to openly fire a sniper rifle from a rooftop.
And it was a Type 10 heavy sniper rifle. How did he get such a heavy weapon in?
And the woman driving the car, what was her identity?
It seemed that their boss and Luo Luo both knew her.
After more than ten minutes, Luo Luo was the first to speak, "Senior sister, why are you here?"
"To protect your little brother, of course. Your little brother has offended someone formidable!" Ye Ling had already removed her mask, and her sunglasses were pushed up onto her head.
Dressed in black combat attire, she looked very capable, and her cold expression gave her the aura of a heroic woman.
"Do you know who it is?" Chu Tian asked.
"Do you want to know?" Ye Ling glanced at Chu Tian, who was sitting in the passenger seat. "This is confidential. You'll only have the right to know once you join the Ninth Bureau."
Chu Tian rolled his eyes. "Even if you don't say it, I already know who it is."
"Oh?" Ye Ling glanced at him.
"It's Huang Xueyi, isn't it!" Chu Tian said.
Hearing the name he spoke, Ye Ling slammed on the brakes.
"It seems you know quite a bit. Then do you know who he is?"
This time, Ye Ling was surprised. She asked Chu Tian.
"From the Great Serpent Island Nation, a mole left in our country. What's wrong? Don't you guys know?" In his previous life, he had already learned these secrets. Huang Xueyi's identity was exposed after he organized the assassination of elite players from the Dragon Country in the game.
However, his mission was completed. That incident had nearly caused the Dragon Country's economy to collapse.
The elite players of the Dragon Country suffered heavy losses. Other players attacking the Dragon Country
looted the Dragon Country. Fortifications, facilities, and so on in the game were destroyed.
Directly or indirectly, this caused immense financial losses to the major consortiums that had established themselves in the Heavenly Dao.
Major consortiums protected themselves, leading to economic problems in the Dragon Country.
The Great Serpent Island Nation took the opportunity to instigate an economic war against the Dragon Country.
"Are you sure?" Ye Ling was surprised.
Chu Tian realized that they did not know Huang Xueyi's identity.
So her claim to protect him was pure nonsense. Perhaps they had tracked the opponent's movements but had no idea who the target was.
"Senior sister, you said you came to protect me, but I don't think that's right! I think you're using this as an opportunity to recruit me into the Ninth Office, aren't you?" Chu Tian said with a half-smile.
Before Ye Ling could speak, Chu Tian continued:
"Your target should have been that mutant. Otherwise, your shot should have been aimed at the building opposite us. That's where the greatest threat to us came from.
Moreover, you fired first, and the shots from the opposite building came later, which clearly shows you didn't know there was someone there.
You received a mission to eliminate that mutant and coincidentally discovered that their target was us.
And the incendiary round you fired should be specially made by your Ninth Office. Normal incendiary rounds wouldn't turn a person's bones to ash, leaving no trace.
Don't rush to refute me. I haven't said I won't join. But what benefits would I get if I joined?"
Chu Tian spoke in a rapid-fire manner, leaving Ye Ling no chance to interject.
"Are you from the Ninth Office?" Gao Kai asked at this moment.
Ye Ling, having been exposed by Chu Tian, appeared somewhat flustered. When Gao Kai spoke, she glanced at him but didn't answer. Instead, she said:
"Gao Kai, nicknamed Heng Dao. Served in the Northern War Zone for seventeen years, the first year in the recruit camp, and the subsequent sixteen years in a secret unit.
Retired at thirty-five due to injury, working as a security guard in the business sector. His mission completion rate during his service was excellent. DAFeng Novel Network.
During one mission, he rescued a sixteen-year-old girl named Qi Xi, who is now your wife.
Before retiring, he applied to join the Ninth Office for five consecutive years, submitting eighteen applications, all rejected seventeen times.
His rank upon retirement was Lieutenant General, but he did not accept the bureau-level leadership position offered by the transfer unit after retirement.
Instead, he chose to become a security guard. I truly don't know what you're thinking.
A month ago, you were planning to leave the country privately and were in contact with mercenary groups from Country S.
Is it worth ruining yourself like this for the orphans of your comrades?"
Ye Ling listed Gao Kai's deeds one by one, even knowing his intention to leave the country. Her tone was not very pleasant.
Perhaps it was because Chu Tian had rendered her speechless, so she took her anger out on Gao Kai.
Gao Kai forced a smile. "As expected of someone from the Ninth Office. I didn't take the bureau chief position because I knew I wouldn't be good at it.
What else can I do besides killing? If I had to scheme and plot with those people every day, I wouldn't be able to handle it.
For the sake of my brothers' families, it is naturally worth it. I promised them..."
"No need to explain. Open the case. You have your eighteenth application letter." Ye Ling interrupted him.
Gao Kai dazedly opened the case that Ye Ling had thrown at him as soon as she got in the car. When he took it, he knew from its weight that it contained the 88 sniper rifle.
Opening the case, he found his final application submitted to his superior four years ago.
Below it was a large "Approved" in bold letters. Holding this paper,
the iron-willed man's eyes reddened slightly, but he quickly took a deep breath.
"Forget it. I'm already married, and besides..." He glanced at Chu Tian.
He placed the paper back into the gun case and gently closed it.
"Him? Don't worry, he'll join the Ninth Office too. As for your newlywed wife, she was taken away by our people when you left the hotel. We naturally protect the safety of our own people." Ye Ling said.
Hearing her words, Gao Kai took out his phone. Chu Tian naturally knew who he was calling.
Regardless of what was said, Gao Kai's tears truly came then.
He put down the phone, unsure what to say, looking as if he wanted to speak but couldn't.
"And the two of you, no need for special recruitment," Ye Ling pointed at Jin Kaiyu and Zhao Lei.
"Huh? Us?"
"Stop pretending. Did you think that mutant was targeting Chu Tian?
I have two missions here. The first is to recruit the three of you into the Ninth Office.
The second is to deal with that person. What I didn't expect was that his target after entering the country was also you.
It just so happened that I finished everything in one go. I didn't expect to bring Chu Tian into this mess as well. As for the two of you, I suspect you broke your promise with the mercenary groups from Country S, and they sent people to deal with you."
Ye Ling said carelessly.
"Holy crap, what do you mean by 'Chu Tian this mess'? What kind of mess am I? Don't think I won't hit you. Let me tell you, if you want to poach people from me, no way!"
Chu Tian was agitated. This woman, Ye Ling, had given herself the nickname "trash" back in school.
Now she called him a mess and wanted to poach his people, wanting to take them all.
