The solidly tied-up Li Yuquan naturally could hear the contents of the phone call. He was just shocked by Wen Liang’s strength, but then the “Captain” address came from his mouth made him feel terrible.

Who’s he? Who’s qualified to be this man’s captain given his strength?

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have fallen into a great whirlpool, wherein he would run into a meat grinder, or better yet, an opportunity. After seeing Wen Liang hang up the phone, he asked again, “Who exactly are you?”

“Who I am, huh?” Wen Liang smilingly said, “That’s not something you’re qualified to know. Someone will quickly come over to identify you. Just hope you got some good luck so you can keep your life, boy.”

Li Yuquan drew a deep breath and replied, “I always knew what kind of ending I’d face—it’s nothing but death. But can I ask you one thing before I die?”

“I know what you gotta ask me, but no, I’m sorry.” Wen Liang lightly shook his head. “I got my own duty, so I can’t save your family.”

In that instant, Li Yuquan’s face seemed to have lost the spirit to live, deep despair rising inside him. But he couldn’t accept it. Even if he couldn’t kill that bastard who kidnapped his wife and kid, he wanted his wife and child to be safe! Unwilling, he begged. “Please, we both were members of the Blue Eagle special force and you’re also my senior. I know it’s wrong to steal, but it’s not like I can really help it.”

“You shouldn’t have come here as it should’ve been very easy for you to get 2 million given your ability.” Wen Liang shook his head and said, “I just don’t get it. You’ve always stressed that you got no time left. What’s that for, though? Are you afraid that Chang Zhao will really kill one of your family members to make you pay the ransom?”

Li Yuquan let out a mirthless and miserable smile. “Chang Zhao won’t do so shortly since it’s been me who he wants to deal with. The reason why he wants 2 million is that he wants to destroy me mentally. When I stressed that I got no time is that there’s also another wrong deed I’ve done.”

“Did you murder someone?” asked Wen Liang with a faint smile.

“It’s more serious than that.” Li Yuquan shook his head.

With a surprised look, Wen Liang said, “Then tell me about it. If your reply can surprise, I can plead with the Cap’ for you. Maybe it will touch his kindness and he’ll just let you go.”

Li Yuquan’s eyes lit up before they dimmed again. Then, he shook his head and said, “I just can’t say it. Only a dead-end remains once I do. Senior Wen Liang, I rarely asked help from anyone in all my life, but please, I beg you to help me save my wife and kid. If the afterlife does really exist, I, Li Yuquan, will definitely repay your kindness.”

“I already told you that I’m bound with my own duty. I definitely got no time to help you save them.” Wen Liang shook his head. “But of course you can ask the Cap. I can move if he gives me permission.”

“Who’s your captain?” asked Li Yuquan hurriedly.

“His identity isn’t something you can know.” Wen Liang shook his head and said, “But I can give you advice, boy. Don’t ask any questions such as ‘who are you’ for it will not be beneficial for you and instead speed up your chance to meet your death.”

Is it some mysterious organization or something?

Li Yuquan suddenly realized the possibility of such a situation. His bright eyes when he looked at Wen Liang now turned completely different.

Twenty minutes later, the door was pushed open from the outside as a sturdy middle-aged man with a cold face came inside. His expression moved ever so slightly when he saw Li Yuquan inside.

“You…”

Li Yuquan’s pupils suddenly shrunk after seeing the man, looking horrified and panicked. He just couldn’t believe his eyes since the man was someone he had long thought to be dead. But now, he appeared before him in perfect condition. Moreover, he was also the man Wen Liang addressed as Cap.

This… what exactly is going on here? How did the former soul of the army and the once unshakable King of Soldiers appear here?

It was Lang Tou, nicknamed Wolf Head, who was summoned to China by the order to assist Jin Shi to establish the intelligence network in China. He squinted after seeing the tied-up Li Yuquan and glanced at We Liang. “You got me into some shit here.”

“Trouble? How come?” Wen Liang was confused.

Wolf Heald snorted coldly. “Hmph. He knows me, kind of way back then. Isn’t that right, Yuquan boy?”

Lips squirming, Li Yuquan tremblingly said, “Wolf… No, instructor, weren’t you killed in action when carrying out a mission abroad?”

“That’s only the statement from the army.” Wolf Head shook his head and said, “I’ve already left the army then, in fact. But… how did you come to be here?”

“He snuck in to steal some things, Cap’, and I caught him red-handed,” answered Wen Liang. “Anyhow, he’s your old acquaintance, so let me do the killings so as not to expose your identity. I’ll destroy his dead body and leave no trace.”

Wolf Head stopped him and incredulously looked at Li Yuquan. “You stealing? You rushed here just to steal things?”

“I’m in dire need of cash since my wife and kid are kidnapped. I need 2 million to get them back,” said Li Yuquan bitterly.
