It was fortunate that Da Xiong discovered it in time.
If it hadn't been for his discovery, Lin Weidong and all the Dragon Team members would have descended.
And then everyone would have been trapped in the warehouse.
If the Shadow Organization hadn't gone far, they could have thrown a few bombs down, and everyone would have died…
Because of the reminder from Da Xiong.
By the time Lin Weidong descended, he only brought a password expert with him. All other official members of the Dragon Team waited at the cave entrance.
To prevent any accidents!
“Young Yang, well done. We were lucky you were so meticulous this time,” Lin Weidong said with a smile as soon as he arrived.
The password expert, acting on his own initiative, went to unlock the password for the box.
While the expert was busy, Lin Weidong continued, “How did you discover this exit? From a distance, the traces of the cement seal weren’t obvious.”
Da Xiong looked a bit embarrassed and scratched his head. “Doctor Zhou asked us to look for clues about the password box. I thought maybe the password was written on the wall, and I ended up finding this.”
Lin Weidong nodded approvingly, looking at Da Xiong and then at Ouyang Feng. “You two are doing great. In this mission, you two have made the most significant contributions!”
Lin Weidong was never stingy with his praise for talented individuals.
Moreover, Da Xiong was someone he had always thought highly of.
And Ouyang Feng had also achieved outstanding results.
Lin Weidong had already considered their future assignments after their training was completed!
At this moment, Da Xiong’s teammates were still present.
They clearly heard Lin Weidong’s praise for Da Xiong and Ouyang Feng!
Their faces twisted slightly, and a surge of jealousy instantly welled up in their hearts!
It’s just discovering a damn passage, so what!
And this Lin Weidong is so sentimental, praising them over and over again!
Originally, Da Xiong was discussing the next mission with Lin Weidong.
But when he turned his head, his peripheral vision caught the unwilling expressions of those teammates.
He froze for a moment.
Then, he gave a wry smile and turned to Lin Weidong, saying, “Right, Old Lin, I have a humble request, and I hope you can help me.”
Lin Weidong raised his eyebrows, looking at Da Xiong with curiosity.
This kid rarely used the word “help.”
What was happening today?
“Tell me first, no need to be so formal. I will help as much as I can,” Lin Weidong said after some thought.
Da Xiong gave an awkward smile, took a deep breath, and said, “Old Lin, I want to split the team now.”
This time, not only Lin Weidong but also those two teammates were stunned.
When Da Xiong said those words earlier, they had thought he was just venting his frustration.
Who ever heard of a team being disbanded halfway through a mission?
Wouldn’t that be a laughingstock!
So, they were certain that Da Xiong would not request a split in this mission.
As for whether he would split in the next mission, they didn’t care.
In this mission, Da Xiong had first found the ledger, then the password box, and now the passage.
His performance would definitely be good.
These two teammates decided to at least get credit for this mission first.
Who would have thought that Da Xiong would actually propose to split the team in front of Lin Weidong!
Now, both of them looked grim, exchanged glances, and remained silent.
They were all waiting for Lin Weidong’s decision!
Disbanding a team while on a mission was unprecedented.
Even if Da Xiong wanted it, Lin Weidong might not agree.
They were waiting for Lin Weidong to refuse, so they could keep their credit and maintain their dignity.
They would then tell Da Xiong that it wasn’t that they didn’t want to split, but that Lin Weidong disagreed!
These two were quite cunning in their calculations.
Lin Weidong also remained silent for a long time.
The main reason was that Da Xiong had always been calm and steady. What was happening today?
A team that had been working together for so long, and he wanted to break it up just like that?
“Can you tell me why?” Lin Weidong asked indirectly.
Da Xiong didn’t badmouth his teammates. Instead, he found an excuse: “Our personalities are not very compatible. To avoid future disputes, it’s better for us to go our separate ways.”
“This… choosing teammates is not like playing house. It’s more serious than finding a wife. You’ve been working together for so long and have developed a tacit understanding. Personality incompatibility is too far-fetched,” Lin Weidong said helplessly.
At this point, Zhou Yu, who was standing nearby, couldn’t stand it anymore.
Didn’t he see the expressions on Da Xiong’s two teammates?
Why should he still spare their feelings!
So, Zhou Yu directly said, “There’s no need for freeloaders in the team. They don’t do anything and still drag Da Xiong down.”
“Old Lin, if you don’t agree to disband the team, you can think about how you will lead the team in the future!”
If Lin Weidong didn’t allow the team to disband and insisted on letting those two teammates slack off and get credit through Da Xiong, then in the future, others in the Dragon Team would follow suit when they saw it.
If everyone became a freeloader, the Dragon Team would eventually collapse!
Hearing Zhou Yu’s words, Lin Weidong finally understood the whole situation.
He glared at Zhou Yu, then looked at Da Xiong. “Is that so? I want you to say it yourself.”
Da Xiong hesitated for a moment, then nodded. “That’s right.”
Lin Weidong had intended to persuade them.
Unexpectedly, the two teammates listening nearby heard Da Xiong not even sparing them any face.
Their faces turned even redder, and they glared at him in annoyance and shouted, “Fine, split up then! Do you think you’re so great?”
“Do you really think you’re so high and mighty just because you did a few things!”
“If this place doesn’t want me, there are plenty of other places!”
“I wish you, Da Xiong, a good life in the future!”
After speaking, the two teammates snorted and walked directly out of the pit.
Everyone present was stunned.
Who would have thought.
That there could be such brazen freeloaders in the world!
Listening to their parting words, it sounded as childish as a primary school student making threats!
“You, you,” Lin Weidong sighed at Da Xiong. “Have you made up your mind?”
If Da Xiong hadn’t made up his mind, it was still possible to chase after them and salvage the situation!
However, Da Xiong’s expression was exceptionally firm. “I’ve made up my mind, and I won’t regret it.”
Lin Weidong nodded. “Good, then your team will be disbanded now. Form two new teams, and you can arrange the personnel distribution yourself through the walkie-talkie for the recorder to note down.”
Da Xiong nodded gently.
Just as they were busy with the team disbandment,
The password expert had already opened the password box!
Everyone gathered around to take a look.
They saw that the box no longer contained test tubes.
But stacks and stacks of cash!
Just a glance made it difficult to breathe.
Because there was so much of it…
And beneath these banknotes, there was a piece of paper, roughly recording the source of these banknotes.
It was similar to a ledger!
“No wonder the Shadow Organization moved this thing first. It’s money!” Da Xiong exclaimed.
If it were him, with so much money, he would also move the money first!
