Chapter 2281: Chapter 2282: Obsession
“I’m going back to organize the police force, to crack this case with the people from the Xinshan branch office.”
“No need, we’ve already found a clue.”
“You’ve found a clue?” Ling Han’s expression was filled with surprise.
“The driver involved in the accident abandoned the car and ran away, but he’s already burned the vehicle. I’m getting ready to go over and take a look.”
“I’ll go with you,” Ling Han said without a second thought.
“Let’s go.”
...
The two walked out of the hospital together and got into Lin Yi’s car, heading towards the suburbs.
Lin Yi drove fast, and in just over half an hour, they reached the suburbs. There was nobody around, and ahead was a highway that stretched as far as the eye could see.
They had driven for more than an hour before Lin Yi finally stopped the car.
Ling Han looked around; there were no signs of life, and the passing vehicles were sparse, lending an eerily quiet feeling.
“Team Leader Lin, is this the place where the driver abandoned the car and fled? It doesn’t quite feel right.”
“We’ll be there soon, but I’ve just rembered sothing I’d like to discuss with you.”
“Are you going to talk about the case?”
“Not really. Let’s talk about sothing personal.”
Ling Han smiled at Lin Yi.
“Team Leader Lin, you don’t have… thoughts about , do you? But I guess I’m not really your type.”
Lin Yi smiled, “Let’s talk about the Central Guards Brigade.”
At the ntion of the Central Guards Brigade, Ling Han’s heart involuntarily sped up, and she beca emotional.
But she controlled herself well; this might be her chance.
“Team Leader Lin, what do you want to tell ? Is there another national recruitnt happening? I will prepare seriously this ti.”
Lin Yi nodded and looked wistfully out the window.
“I want to know, what does the Central Guards Brigade an to you?”
“Everything!”
Ling Han blurted out earnestly and decisively.
“Isn’t there anything else in life, besides the Central Guards Brigade, that’s worth striving for?”
“Nothing else.” Ling Han replied with a touch of bitterness, flipping her hair as she spoke:
“To , the Central Guards Brigade is my lifelong pursuit. Unless I die, I will never give up.”
“It’s good to have aspirations, but being too obsessed can beco a burden,” Lin Yi said,
“Doesn’t your family have soone who ca from the Central Guards Brigade? Haven’t they advised you?”
Ling Han shook her head.
“When I was little, they really wanted to join the Central Guards Brigade because it was the only way for the Ling Family to succeed. And I’ve always been competitive and wanted to be the best at everything, so joining the Central Guards Brigade has been a goal of mine since childhood.”
Ling Han laughed at herself.
“To be honest, I’ve always felt that I’m a very capable person. Even before participating in the recruitnt, I thought there were no issues with ; as long as I perford normally, joining the Central Guards Brigade, even Team One, wouldn’t be a problem.”
“It wasn’t until after the recruitnt that I realized there’s always soone better. Those few days after I was rejected, I didn’t even know how I managed to get through them.”
“I understand your feelings, otherwise, with your pride, you wouldn’t have actively sought out my thods for training,” Lin Yi said,
“But looking at you now, it seems like you haven’t thought about giving up.”
“Right, I haven’t given up. At the very least, I still have one more chance. When the next recruitnt cos, I’ll make sure to seize it.”
Finishing her words, Ling Han smiled at Lin Yi.
“Team Leader Lin, can you give a hint, is there going to be a national recruitnt soon?”
“There should be another one next year. They’re planning to recruit three people, so the competition will be much fiercer.”
Ah~~~
Ling Han let out a breath of relief.
“No problem, I have a lot of confidence in myself.”
“Actually, I think your level is not bad. If you were a bit luckier last ti, you should have been able to join.”
Ling Han’s eyes lit up as she looked intently at Lin Yi.
“So, you acknowledge my skills, right?”
“Yes.”
Hearing Lin Yi say this, Ling Han was overjoyed.
Getting Lin Yi’s acknowledgnt ant a great deal to her.
“Here, take this.”
Lin Yi fumbled in his pocket and pulled out a black armband with a golden blade in the middle.
Seeing the armband Lin Yi extended, Ling Han was stunned, her body trembling.
“This, this is the armband of the Central Guards Brigade.”
“Yes, as of today, you are a mber of the Central Guards Brigade. On behalf of all mbers of Team One of the Central Guards Brigade, I sincerely welco you.”
Ling Han sat frozen in her chair. For her, this mont felt like a dream.
In countless sleepless nights, the thing she had yearned for and dreamt of had happened without warning at such a mont.
It felt unreal, like a dream.
“Team Leader Lin, why would you do this all of a sudden?” Ling Han seriously asked,
“If it’s for personal reasons, I won’t accept this armband. I want to earn my way into the Central Guards Brigade with my own true strength.”
“For , Team One is different from the others, but in terms of personal combat ability, our people are probably not as good as those in other teams. However, the battlefield is constantly changing, and re strength isn’t enough to solve all problems. Your resilience and persistence are what I value and sothing I rarely see. It’s exactly what Team One needs in soone with strong willpower. Overall, you have satisfied in this respect, which is why I decided to let you in.”
Lin Yi’s voice was soft and faint, almost as if he was talking to himself.
“Don’t feel that it’s shaful because it seems like nepotism. I have a special quota, and though it’s just one, it’s suitable for you.”
Hearing this, Ling Han’s emotions eased quite a bit.
“But I know, Team One has a special significance for you. Am I really qualified?”
“Of course,” Lin Yi said,
“The Central Guards Brigade is a special place. Without the readiness to face death, one doesn’t deserve to join. Your strong willpower is the best guarantee.”
After a long silence, Ling Han asked,
“Team Leader Lin, if one day you were to embark on a mission where death is certain, what would you choose to do?”
“I would choose to give up. If it’s a mission that leads to certain death, I wouldn’t joke with the lives of my Team One.”
“But what if we were ambushed during the mission and couldn’t fight back?”
“If that happened…”
Lin Yi fell silent, his gaze fixed on the highway outside the window.
“If that were the case, I would kill them myself. I absolutely wouldn’t let them die at the hands of such scum.”
After that, Lin Yi sighed.
“If one day they commit an unforgivable sin, I would also kill them myself. The people of Team One should be dealt with by .”
With that, Lin Yi quietly took out a black dagger and silently pressed it against Ling Han’s neck.
