Chapter 1687: Chapter 848: Someone Else (2)

But then he was told that the audit personnel would be coming back to continue asking about Chen Lin.

Lin Beichen was a little displeased.

"Let me tell you this: as long as Chen Lin is still in the Seventh District, and as long as the higher-ups haven’t stripped her of her qualifications, she will remain your captain. Got it?"

After hearing this, everyone gradually understood—looked like the instructor was still firmly supporting Chen Lin.

"What do you mean by that?"

The auditors were a bit confused.

"We’re just acting under orders, you know that. We all believe Chen Lin is an excellent soldier and officer, but this needs a final ruling from above. We only..."

"It’s fine!"

Lin Beichen still intended to keep protecting Chen Lin.

"If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility!"

...

The auditors could only leave in frustration.

However, the women’s special operations team was still a bit dejected. Even though their captain was back, she still couldn’t perform her duties, which left them feeling very disappointed.

Seeing this, Lin Beichen, a little speechless, walked to the entrance of the special ops dorm and directly assembled the unit.

"Looks to me like you still haven’t figured out the situation. Put on your gear, immediately. We’re doing a twenty-kilometer urban cross-country run, starting now."

"Yes, sir!"

This time, Lin Beichen personally ran with the women of the special operations team.

In an instant, these women became a striking sight in the city.

Unexpectedly, the finish line turned out to be a restaurant, and waiting there was none other than their captain, Chen Lin.

"What’s going on?"

Everyone was stunned.

"This was my arrangement. I want you to understand that your captain is still here. One day, she will once again lead you onto the battlefield!"

...

Chen Bin watched this scene feeling especially warm inside. He was more and more convinced that Lin Beichen’s arrival would definitely bring new changes to the Seventh District, that he would completely revive this dead, stagnant place.

On the other hand, several team captains were still working hard—their job wasn’t done yet.

"Anyway, you’re definitely not going to say a single word, right?"

The captain grew more and more enraged at the scene before him. As a criminal investigation captain, he’d tried every professional method he had, and still couldn’t make this man open his mouth.

"You’re going to sentence me to death anyway. I’ll say it again—just shoot me and get it over with. I don’t give a damn."

"You animal—you violated others and now you think you can just walk away from it? Let me tell you, your daughter is still serving in our army right now."

...

Just then, Lin Beichen arrived. It was right after dinner, and he’d simply brought Chen Lin along with him.

"I don’t want to go in."

Seeing the criminal in front of her, Chen Lin felt extremely disgusted.

"No matter what, he’s still your father. If you really want to dispel your Heart Demon, you’ll need the power of family. I know he’s a bastard guilty of every crime under the sun, but I still believe that even a vicious tiger won’t eat its own cubs!"

And so, the door was opened again, and Chen Lin appeared before everyone.

"You all go out first. I think it’s time for the father and daughter to meet."

Once the door closed, Black Cat burst out laughing.

"Didn’t expect it—my daughter actually looks pretty good without her uniform on!"

"You filthy pervert!"

"Is that how you talk to your old man? Let me tell you, like it or not, I’m still your father."

Chen Lin slammed the table.

"You think you deserve that title?"

Black Cat looked every bit like a man with nothing to lose—a dead pig not afraid of boiling water...

Faced with his daughter’s curses, he didn’t care in the slightest. After all, he had far too many ’daughters’ like her.

"Love?"

Black Cat curled his lip and laughed.

"You think I’m stupid? Talking to me about love? In my eyes, you girls are only good for being used. Either you’re toys in my bed or tools to help me clean up my mess!"

Such a completely inhuman Black Cat left everyone present utterly stunned; it shattered their worldview.

"Still, you’ve got quite the tempting figure. If you were in my base, maybe we could even have a kid together, don’t you think?"

"You wouldn’t even spare your own daughter?"

Everyone who heard that was utterly shocked. They had never seen such a shameless beast, lower than a pig or a dog, who wouldn’t even spare his own biological daughter.

"Alright, I’ll give you a little piece of intel. You are my daughter after all; can’t let you make the trip for nothing, right? While you’ve been pouring all your energy and attention onto me, a small team with top-notch tactical skills has already slipped quietly into your turf!"

Black Cat smiled, still as arrogant and overbearing as ever.

"There’s something else I forgot to tell you. Even if I’m done for, I’ve still got a bunch of like-minded friends who’ve infiltrated your city. Aren’t you trying to host the Games? Then keep searching! There’ll only be more and more of us—let’s see if you can manage to find them all!"

Black Cat’s sinister grin completely enraged Chen Lin.

"Who the hell is it?"

Chen Lin no longer had the patience to think.

"You really think I’d know? Use your head. With something this big, if everything were fully connected, one telling ten and ten telling a hundred, how would we ever get anything done? Are you stupid or what? It’s not that I won’t tell you—I really don’t know. For top-secret stuff like this, how could a small fry like me possibly know the whole picture? You’re hilarious. Don’t you have an intelligence department? Go figure it out yourselves, slowly."

Turns out, they were all connected by single-line contacts. They didn’t actually know each other’s identities—at most, they might have crossed paths once in the past.

The problem was, Black Cat no longer had any attachments. Everywhere he went was a dead end. In his mind, everything he needed to do had already been done.

Chen Lin walked out of the interrogation room. This time, she wasn’t just depressed—her entire worldview had been upended. She’d never imagined it would turn out like this.

"Alright."

Looking at Chen Lin in front of him, Lin Beichen truly felt a bit of heartache.

On the way back, Chen Lin remained silent, mulling over what to do. Since the case hadn’t been fully resolved yet, she still couldn’t go to the hospital to see her mother.

"Sigh. I’m an only child. My mom told me before that she’d been kicked out by her family. Every time I asked her why, she refused to say. Now I finally understand. The only two relatives I have in this world—my mom is in prison, and my dad turns out to be that kind of person."

"But you still have us, your comrades-in-arms."

Lin Beichen knew that if he let this mood keep spreading, it would be bad for Chen Lin’s mental and physical health.

"Instructor, don’t worry. Three days is enough for me. I basically understand what you all are thinking. I’ll find a way to pull myself together. I know exactly what kind of woman I am. You think something like this can crush me? That would be a joke."

Chen Lin was very confident—bringing her down wouldn’t be that easy. She wouldn’t claim to be a flawless soldier, but she was still a daughter of Huaxia with a sense of duty to her country.

No matter what her mother had done, she needed to rely on her own efforts to protect the people’s safety and defend the city’s honor, because she had no other choice.

What was giving them the worst headache now was still the criminal investigation deputy captain from the relevant department. The two of them had already been sitting there for a whole day and night, and still hadn’t found any breakthrough.

"Is he really not going to spit out even a single word? I don’t believe that someone at his level has no idea about his terror organization’s deployments."

Lin Beichen looked at the two captains, their brows furrowed.

"Right now he’s acting like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, and we just can’t find his weak spot. We even brought his daughter—Chen Lin came, and it still didn’t work. He’s a complete and utter bastard!"

The deputy captain was about ready to explode from rage.

"Honestly, I’m starting to wish we could go back to the old days and just torture a confession out of him. Damn it, this guy is as stubborn as a dead duck—won’t say a thing. Every other department’s progress is painfully slow; we’re basically stuck. The World Games are getting closer by the day—what are we supposed to do?"
