Chapter 2282: Chapter 2283: Let Her Walk Proudly

The cold dagger, like it was carrying an extreme chill, in an instant, solidified Ling Han’s blood.

“Team Leader Lin…”

Ling Han’s voice trembled, her face as white as paper.

But in her hands, she tightly grasped the armband Lin Yi had given her.

“It’s come to this point, talking about anything else is already meaningless.”

The car was completely silent, with no expression on Lin Yi’s face.

...

Ling Han’s hands clutched the armband, her body shaking violently.

“I’m, I’m sorry…”

Two lines of clear tears fell from Ling Han’s cheeks, shattering on her lapel.

Like fireworks, brilliantly bursting in the sky.

Beautiful yet fleeting.

“As Team Leader of the first group of the Central Guards Brigade, I hope you can tell me everything.”

As he spoke, Lin Yi retracted his dagger.

Like a quiet listener, silently waiting.

Ling Han bowed her head, the tears silently falling.

“After the national recruitment failed, I went home, and after discussing it with my family, we concluded that even if the Central Guards Brigade were to recruit again within a year or two, my abilities were unlikely to improve significantly.”

“If nothing unexpected happened, I would likely never have the chance to join the Central Guards Brigade in my lifetime.”

Quietly, Ling Han wiped her tears, her voice choked.

“Then my grandfather found an organization that sold E-class serum, and we made a deal.”

“The organization you bought the serum from is called Hongmen, from Shianggang, and I’ve already wiped them out,” Lin Yi said.

“I want to know how much money you spent to buy this serum. The Ling Family isn’t poor, but only in the eyes of ordinary people.”

“We scraped together 10 million, but they didn’t want it, instead, they asked me to do something for them.”

“To kill Ma Dehong?”

“Yes,” Ling Han said.

“If I didn’t agree to them, the deal would have been called off, and I would have lost this chance, likely for a lifetime I wouldn’t have been able to join the Central Guards Brigade.”

“So that was it…”

Lin Yi sighed. At this point, his emotions were incredibly complex.

Ling Han was a pitiful person too.

“Team Leader…”

“Go ahead.”

“Can you tell me how you found out?”

“If it hadn’t been for this car accident, I really might not have realized it was you,” Lin Yi said calmly.

“At the accident site, we found three different blood samples. Brother Li’s and the driver’s samples didn’t show anything special, but your blood sample had a very high single-cell percentage. Team leader Ning saw it and realized the data matched the research report on the E-class serum.”

“Also, a former colleague of mine gave me a tip. She said in cases like this, the perpetrator is very likely someone close to me. Then I remembered, ever since we dealt with the Pengcheng Chamber of Commerce affair, you’ve been in a state of gastroenteritis. Now that I think about it, it probably wasn’t gastroenteritis but an adverse reaction to the serum injection. I’m not wrong, am I?”

“Yes, yes…” Ling Han said in a low voice, seemingly much calmer.

“And the report I had you look into yesterday, you switched the samples out of self-interest, right?”

“Could it be…”

“That’s right, it was fake,” Lin Yi sighed and said.

“I already knew that the drugs Ma Dehong was taking were fake, from a pharmaceutical factory under Hongmen, made to look like Betalek as part of this scheme, only to test you, but you disappointed me.”

“And for all this time, even abandoning your own duties, you were always following me on Ma Dehong’s case, just to be informed about the investigation’s progress and to mislead me, right?”

“Moreover, you orchestrated this car accident because Brother Li’s investigation was getting too close to the truth. It was through your personal relationship with Wang Mei Jia that you switched Ma Dehong’s medication, making everything else fall into place, unknown to anyone.”

Ling Han didn’t speak, even her facial expression showed no change.

“Team Leader, I’m sorry.”

“You did nothing wrong, it’s the times that are at fault.”

“Rest here for a while and look at the scenery outside. Keeping the nerves wound tight will make a person break.”

Speaking, Lin Yi opened the car door.

“Team Leader.”

“What is it.”

“I want to ask you something.”

“Go ahead.”

In Ling Han’s hand, she tightly clutched the Central Guards Brigade’s arm badge.

“Did you give me this arm badge today because you pity me?”

“I am not a soft-hearted person, if you hadn’t met my standard, you wouldn’t deserve this arm badge,” Lin Yi paused.

“Don’t think too much, from now on, you are already a member of Team One of the Central Guard Brigade, so enjoy this moment.”

Ling Han turned her head to look at Lin Yi, “I know I have no way out, but my actions will bring shame to Team One.”

Lin Yi patted Ling Han’s shoulder.

“Don’t worry, as a member of our team, I won’t let you die at the hands of those lowlifes.”

“Stay quietly by yourself for a while, I won’t disturb you.”

Lin Yi opened the car door and got out, leaving Ling Han alone inside.

“Whooo…”

Ling Han lay on the front passenger’s dashboard, wailing loudly.

Regret?

Resentment?

Anger?

Guilt?

A stream of complex emotions, like rivers flowing into the sea, took over all of Ling Han’s thoughts.

At this moment, even she herself didn’t know what the tears truly meant.

Drip—

Drip—

Drip—

Suddenly, a rhythmic electronic sound started, and Ling Han abruptly lifted her head, her mind instantly clearing.

She knew exactly what it was.

But she wasn’t scared, she just remembered something she forgot to say.

Boom!

A piercing explosion sounded, and shards of glass scattered everywhere. Lin Yi’s LX570 burst into flames in an instant, and everything in sight was marked with a perfect full stop.

And the words Ling Han wanted to say, never did find their way out, nor did Lin Yi get a chance to hear them.

The impact this had on him was probably immeasurable.

The car exploded about fifty meters behind Lin Yi.

Not far in front of Lin Yi, Luo Qi stood there, wearing a black trench coat and sunglasses.

The arm badge that Lin Yi gave to Ling Han, it came from her, as did the hidden bomb placed under the car.

Looking at the graceful and slender Luo Qi, Lin Yi shook his head, suddenly feeling that this world was so unfair.

Luo Qi was the weakest in terms of strength in Team One, and her usual training was also sloppy and carefree.

But she had the qualifications to enter the Central Guards Brigade, and furthermore, Team One.

Yet Ling Han, who had been striving hard from a young age and abandoned everything, could never cross that threshold.

If only she hadn’t held on to so many obsessions, the future might have painted a different picture.

Obsession.

It’s a double-edged sword.

“Let’s go.”

Passing by Luo Qi, Lin Yi spoke indifferently.

“Aren’t you going to look back?”

“No need, let her depart with pride.”
