Chapter 1018 - 506: It’s All Retribution
A certain deep mountain base in the north.
Zhao Lin glanced at the sky, large clouds gathering, a mountain rain was imminent.
Therefore, he ordered expressionlessly, ending the training early, dismissing the team.
After arranging all matters of the base, leaving his trusted aides to guard, Zhao Lin took two people down the mountain.
The two attendants were Zhao Lin’s confidants, having done many secretive things with him, but this time going down the mountain, they sensed a feeling of unease.
Just like the gloomy sky that was about to rain, there seemed to be an invisible danger ahead, causing anxiety in their hearts.
The off-road vehicle braved the thorns, racing through the mountain forest.
Thunder exploded overhead, wind and rain beating the treetops, the world changed colors.
Two kilometers west down the mountain, passing through a dense undeveloped forest, there is a naturally formed lake, because this place is so remote, hardly anyone sets foot here, the more naturally beautiful the scenery, the more it proves to be dangerous.
The magnetic field here is chaotic, many modern devices lose signal here, even radar cannot detect it, making it a suitable place for secret meetings.
When Zhao Lin arrived, a black SUV was parked by the lake, a man with a black umbrella was standing still by the lakeside, direction facing away from Zhao Lin.
Zhao Lin signaled the two to wait in place, then took an umbrella, got off the vehicle and walked towards the man by the lakeside with the umbrella over his head.
Hearing the footsteps, the man slowly turned around.
"Captain Zhao, it’s not easy to meet you."
Zhao Lin spoke expressionlessly: "Secretary Han, I’m very busy."
The implication was, speak quickly.
Han Li sneered: "Captain Zhao, you’re getting more and more arrogant. Will there be a day when even Mister cannot command you?"
Zhao Lin snorted coldly, his face full of defiance.
Han Li squinted his eyes, suddenly raising his tone: "Zhao Lin, do you still remember your identity?"
The noise from the rain drowned out the speaking voices, the wind lamented, the world was faint and dim.
Zhao Lin stared at the lake surface not far away, beans-sized raindrops fell into the lake, splashing continuous water flowers.
"Of course I remember, Captain of the Xuanwu Army, Zhao Lin, swearing to protect the country."
The man’s resolute voice overshadowed the sound of rain, exploding by the ear like thunder.
Han Li aggressively questioned: "Don’t forget who promoted you to this position, don’t be an ungrateful person, otherwise Mister can raise you up, naturally can also bring you down."
Zhao Lin spoke coldly: "No need for your reminder, I naturally remember."
Han Li snorted coldly: "Good that you remember, Mister has a task for you."
Han Li observed Zhao Lin’s demeanor, seeing his face remained resolute, really could not see anything.
These people, each one like stones in a latrine, both smelly and hard.
Han Li took out a piece of paper from his chest, handed it to Zhao Lin.
Zhao Lin was silent for a moment, then took it and opened it.
A list was on top.
"Leave no survivors." Han Li’s cold voice was quickly carried away by the drifting wind and rain.
Zhao Lin felt the chill seeping from his bones.
Han Li took back the paper, crumpled it and threw it into the lake, soon the thin paper was wetted by rainwater, sinking into the lake bottom.
"Within three days, Mister wants to see the result."
After speaking, Han Li patted Zhao Lin’s shoulder: "Among the four, Mister trusts you the most, Zhao Lin, don’t let Mister down."
Han Li turned and walked towards the car.
Zhao Lin suddenly asked: "Secretary Han, what grudge does the people on this list have with Mister?"
Han Li suddenly turned, eyes sharp like knives: "That’s not your concern, you just need to do as Mister instructed."
Zhao Lin was not afraid at all: "If I remember correctly, that Li Qu is the head of the Special Investigation Group, right? Mister wants me to assassinate this kind of person, is this not akin to treason?"
Han Li’s expression changed, quickly pulled out a gun and aimed at Zhao Lin’s head: "Zhao Lin, are you thinking of betraying Mister?"
In the car, the two observing the situation saw their captain being held at gunpoint, instantly panicked, one instinctively reached for his gun, the other remained calm, "Don’t be impulsive, wait for the captain’s signal."
Facing the gun barrel, Zhao Lin’s expression remained unchanged: "Our four armies each have their roles, clearly distinguished, Azure Dragon does protection, White Tiger monitors intelligence, Xuanwu prepares for action, and doing this kind of assassination has always been Vermilion Bird’s role, hasn’t it? Now it falls on me, what, has Hongyu betrayed Mister?"
Han Li’s face turned gray and white, in peaceful times before, this Zhao Lin seemed loyal, never imagined in Mister’s troubled times, Zhao Lin turns out to have the greatest rebellious heart, Mister misjudged him.
"Hongyu naturally has other tasks, this is the mission Mister has given to you, you won’t accept, are you thinking of betraying Mister? You should know best what happens to traitors."
