Chapter 605: Chapter 602 Trial

"You..."

Before Tang Guoxiong could finish speaking, Ling Chen, impatient, waved his hand and interrupted him, saying, "Old Tang, take him down. Let me have a good chat with this friend."

Tang Yuan nodded, pointed a gun at Tang Guoxiong, and gestured for him to walk outside.

With the black muzzle pointed at him, Tang Guoxiong, no matter how courageous, didn’t dare disobey and had to obediently leave the office.

After Tang Guoxiong and Tang Yuan left, Ling Chen got up, walked to the coffee machine, ground some coffee beans, and then brewed himself a steaming cup of coffee.

Watching Ling Chen leisurely making his coffee, the man felt somewhat uneasy, neither sitting nor standing, feeling as though there were needles on his seat.

Holding the coffee, Ling Chen savored it by himself, showing no intention of chatting with the man.

"Um... Mr. Ling..."

Finally, the man, feeling the oppressive atmosphere, couldn’t help but speak.

Ling Chen, with a slanted glance, looked at him and asked, "What is it?"

The man, trying to ingratiate himself, said, "Mr. Ling, I... I don’t know much, everything was ordered by Tang Guoxiong, it has nothing to do with me."

"And so?"

"I’m willing to turn state’s evidence and help you testify against Tang Guoxiong. I know clearly about the matter of him making Han Bing take the fall; it was all orders delivered by me, and moreover..."

"That’s enough." Ling Chen waved his hand and said, "I don’t want to know so many details, nor am I interested. You should save those words for the higher-ups."

After speaking, Ling Chen put down his coffee cup, stood up, and walked to his desk, casually flipping through the items on it. Soon, a magnetic card caught Ling Chen’s attention.

He picked up the magnetic card and asked, "What’s this?"

"That’s Tang Guoxiong’s identity card, which grants access to any area within the base."

Hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Ling Chen’s eyes as he subtly pocketed the magnetic card and then turned to leave the office.

With Tang Guoxiong’s subordinate as a witness, even the formidable backing behind Tang Guoxiong couldn’t reverse the situation. But this time, it still turned out to be a win for Tang Guoxiong. Given Ling Chen’s temperament, he really wanted to kill that bastard and avenge the General and Han Bing. However, some matters must follow legal protocols, and personal punishment must be avoided, or it would eventually bring harm to oneself.

Considering Tang Guoxiong’s network, Ling Chen could foresee his end. Lonely Wolf certainly couldn’t stay, and even if he went to prison, it wouldn’t be for long.

Reaching the second floor of the base, Tang Yuan was escorting Tang Guoxiong in the interrogation room, quietly waiting for Ling Chen’s arrival.

"Old Tang, have you found out where the General is?"

"I asked. The General isn’t in the base; he was taken to the military headquarters for interrogation."

Military headquarters?

At least, he wasn’t in Tang Guoxiong’s hands.

"Old Tang, keep an eye on him. I’ll contact Mr. He to wrap things up here."

"Alright."

After leaving the interrogation room, Ling Chen found a cell phone and called He Ziyun to inform him of the situation. Fortunately, after meeting with He Ziyun the night before, He Ziyun had arrived in Beijing the next day and was currently in a high-level meeting discussing the matters concerning Lonely Wolf.

After hanging up the phone, Ling Chen did not return directly to the interrogation room but instead went alone to the third floor of the base. noveldrama

The third floor of the base was vital with labs and storage, shielded by several thick steel doors. However, this was no issue for Ling Chen. He took out the magnetic card he had found in Tang Guoxiong’s office, swiped it gently on the reader, and the tightly closed door immediately opened.

After passing through three doors, Ling Chen finally entered the storage area of the base. Following the signs posted inside the warehouse, it took only a few minutes for Ling Chen to find several heavy boxes.

Upon opening the boxes, he saw that they neatly housed more than a dozen square metallic objects, emitting a faint luster.

At last, they were found!

A glimmer of joy appeared on Ling Chen’s face; these were the materials needed to make exoskeleton armor. However, the materials were too numerous and cumbersome to carry. He could not realistically walk out with several boxes to Lonewolf Base without raising suspicion.

After much deliberation, Ling Chen found some bags nearby and stuffed all the metallic materials into them.

After he had packed everything, Ling Chen dragged the bags out of the storeroom, securely closed the gates, and then found a relatively safe room to temporarily store the materials. He planned to transport them later when the opportunity arose.

He Ziyun arrived quickly, and besides him, about forty or fifty military personnel came.

Watching Tang Guoxiong being escorted from the interrogation room, He Ziyun sneered coldly, and without saying anything, slapped Tang Guoxiong squarely across the face.

Slap!

Accompanied by a loud slap, Tang Guoxiong’s left cheek immediately swelled up, and blood trickled down from the corners of his mouth. Had He Ziyun not controlled his strength, that slap could have been fatal.

"Take him away. Do not let him appear before me again," He Ziyun said coldly.

With a resentful glare at He Ziyun, Tang Guoxiong spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and was escorted away by several military personnel.

Once they had left, Ling Chen asked, "Mr. He, what about the general? Why didn’t you bring him back?"

He Ziyun sighed and shook his head, "Couldn’t bring him back."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Rules are rules. With Qiao Zhen assisting you in stealing government property, he has breached military regulations. No matter what Tang Guoxiong has done, it does not change the fact that Qiao Zhen violated the rules. I just came from there; the military has already judged him. He’ll retain his general title but retire from active duty. He won’t lead Lonewolf anymore."

Ling Chen was shocked and quickly asked, "Then who will take charge of Lonewolf?"

"It’s not clear yet, but they asked for my opinion, and I suggested they choose someone from the inside. After all, only Lonewolf’s own people understand it best and won’t mess things up like Tang Guoxiong did."

That’s good!

Ling Chen nodded; there were very few people at Lonewolf Base qualified to replace the old general, and they were all trustworthy people. Whoever it was, they would be more reliable than Tang Guoxiong.

"Ling Chen, if you don’t have anything else, you can go with me."

Hearing He Ziyun speak, Ling Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. He, I haven’t caught up with the brothers for a long time. You go ahead, and I’ll come to find you later."

"The choice is yours," He Ziyun wasn’t insistent.

After sending off He Ziyun, Ling Chen immediately found Old Tang and pulled him into the room where he stored the metallic materials.

"Old Tang, we are brothers; you have to help me this time."

Old Tang asked suspiciously, "What is it?"

Ling Chen chuckled mischievously, rummaged through a corner, and pulled out several large bags, then started taking out the metallic materials.

"This is..." Old Tang’s face changed, surprised, he said: "You’re stealing?"
