Chapter 13 The Thirteenth Little Tail
Clouds gathered in the sky, and the previously dazzling sunlight was completely blocked. Ling Chen's long legs in camouflage pants were spread apart, and his high-top military boots were tied up at the bottom of his trousers. He sat casually on a mossy stone.
He held a piece of grass in his mouth and waited patiently for Jiang Mu to finish reading the file he had sent over - the information about Ye Xiao.
After spending five minutes reading it carefully, Jiang Mu's expression did not change significantly, and he did not speak.
A lazy smile appeared on the corner of Ling Chen's mouth, "Do you know why I lost my mind at that time?" He bent down and broke off a few grass eyelashes from the ground, pinched off the heads and tails, removed the extra leaves, and moved his fingers flexibly, while narrating in a flat tone,
"He lived in an orphanage before the age of six, and his parents were unknown. At the age of six, he passed the genetic screening and was sent to the training base by the Silver Blade Organization. His experience during that time is unknown. When he was fifteen years old, I happened to lead people to wipe out the Silver Blade. After the Silver Blade was gone, he was taken to Shengjue, and his experience during that time was also unknown. In June of this year, he suddenly appeared in Area 4, and then entered Area D alone. A few days later, when we were facing the skeleton wolves, he rescued us."
"It seems like someone sent by Shengjue specially, targeting us, with a clear goal, and well prepared, right." Ling Chen's fingers stopped moving, he was silent for a few seconds, and it was impossible to tell what emotion he was feeling, "But I still want to believe him."
The word "trust" rarely appears in Ling Chen's dictionary.
The reason why he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Second Department at the age of 19 was because when he was on a mission with his predecessor Liang Ling, a traitor appeared inside and they were betrayed.
At that time, a total of 27 people were dispatched from the Second Department, and when they returned, only 11 were left. During that time, every night when he closed his eyes, Liang Ling, who was covered in blood, would appear in front of him, holding his hand tightly, and using his last strength to give an order - take your comrades, your brothers, and your subordinates and rush out, don't look back! Don't look back!
He did it, and didn't look back.
The tragic lesson made him realize that the trust you put in will often be stabbed back.
"His experiences during the time in Silver Blade and Shengjue are unknown, so we can't jump to conclusions too early." Jiang Mu looked at the straw lantern that was gradually taking shape in Ling Chen's hands. He didn't say anything more, but just repeated the sentence he sent to Ling Chen in the research institute, "You know how much he values you."
Ling Chen responded after a few seconds, "Yeah."
So he chose to believe in himself and him for the time being.
Jiang Cancan and Ye Xiao hadn't finished their conversation here.
"... Xiao Mu and I both graduated from the First Military Academy, and we are outstanding graduates! I am from the Department of Individual Combat, and he is from the Department of Information Technology. When we were about to graduate, the Second Department came to select people, and Xiao Mu and I were selected. I have to sigh that Brother Chen has a good eye for people!"
He sighed quietly, "The only thing I didn't expect was that I, a handsome and promising young man, was forced to become a crosstalk actor after entering the Second Department!"
