Chapter 406: 406
Captain Long was helped into a space capsule, and the bespectacled man closed the door and poured Captain Long a glass of water.
“Old Dragon, don’t be mad. The brothers from back then, so died, so went missing, there aren’t many left. Tian is one of them, and he’s already harboring resentnt. Don’t be too angry.”
Captain Long chuckled bitterly, “What do I have to be angry about? This kid, he’s doing this so that I won’t be embarrassed and so that old man won’t give a hard ti. Hmph, he thinks he can fool with these little tricks. I’ve said it before, among the people back then, many were capable, but only this kid had brains. If he hadn’t been sent on that mission, he’d probably be wearing a higher rank than you or I by now.”
“As long as you understand, there’s no point in getting angry with those outsiders. If the higher-ups don’t value us, there’s nothing we can do. Better just stay put and be at peace.”
Captain Long let out a heavy sigh, “As long as this kid doesn’t disgrace in front of those National Security Departnt people, I’ll consider saving his life not in vain.”
After these words, the two didn’t speak again.
Each room had a voice collector, and every word said between Captain Long and the other person was transmitted to Ye Tian’s ears without omission. It wasn’t until this mont that Ye Tian’s solemn face finally revealed a trace of joy.
“Looks like you’re quite happy too, eager to see ss them up, right?”
Chen Ting was looking forward to Ye Tian causing a big stir, but when Ye Tian directly pointed out her thoughts, she didn’t know how to respond.
“Don’t worry, I won’t expose you. Even if soone outside cos in, I will snap your neck first to spare you the misery of being ssed with again by that old bespectacled guy. What’s wrong, not happy now? Don’t glare at like that. Do you believe that if I let you go now, no one but Captain Long would speak a kind word for you? Do you believe ?”
Chen Ting’s mouth twitched, but she didn’t know what to say. Ye Tian was right – the National Security Departnt’s people always looked down on Dragon Team, especially in recent years, treating them like second-class. Going out now would only invite suspicion. At worst, it might end up just like he said… With this thought, Chen Ting glared hard at him and then shifted her gaze back to the screen.
Ye Tian casually shrugged his shoulders, then clicked around the computer with the mouse, aimlessly searching.
“Are you looking for sothing?”
“Even an idiot could see that.”
Chen Ting was taken aback by his retort and said no more.
“When did the docunts in the computer of the secure room beco so scarce? At this rate, I think Dragon Team should just disband in two years.”
“Hmph, who do you think you are? Do you really think the real secret docunts would be on a computer? There’s no end to expert hackers – who knows when you’d be targeted by a cyberattack. The real secret docunts are kept in paper form in the office of the boss. Idiot.”
Ye Tian gave her a disdainful glance, “Ever heard of the Red Box?”
Chen Ting was stunned and shook her head.
“Aircraft have black boxes; that’s where all the flight data is stored. The online world has sothing similar to black boxes too, they’re called Red Boxes. Unlike the physical black boxes, Red Boxes are virtual and contain all computer communications and information. What I’m looking for now is the secure room’s Red Box. Once I find that data, I can find what I’m looking for.”
“You’re trying to steal national secrets! Ye Tian, let tell you, if you dare sell these things to foreigners, I’ll be the first to take you down!”
Chen Ting swiftly pulled out a needle, and in the blink of an eye, that needle, gleaming silver, streaked toward Ye Tian’s neck.
Ye Tian snorted coldly. As the needle approached, his ruthless foot kicked out, hitting Chen Ting directly in the stomach. To Ye Tian’s surprise, he didn’t feel the expected thud against flesh, but instead a soft sensation enveloped his foot.
“Jujutsu!”
Ye Tian was startled, then quickly withdrew his foot and bent his knee, aiming straight for Chen Ting’s face with his knee. But at the last mont, his knee veered away, hitting her shoulder. The impact knocked her tendons out of place, causing her arm to twitch and her hand to drop limply.
“You really are full of surprises, having learned Thai jujutsu. But it seems your skills aren’t quite there yet.”
Chen Ting’s entire body was pushed against Ye Tian by the great inertia, and his hand indecently pressed her against himself. The two excess mounds of flesh on her chest were being flattened against him – what a feeling!
“Let go of !”
Chen Ting was annoyed, but she knew too well that this guy wasn’t easy to deal with. Calling him the pride of Dragon Team wasn’t an exaggeration. His knee barely brushed her, but why couldn’t she move her whole body now? Even if a tendon was misplaced, it shouldn’t affect the entire body – that required real skill.
“You’re too thin, not at all suitable for practicing martial arts within jujutsu. It’s fine for yoga as hobby, but when it cos to real fighting, a punch is more substantial.”
Abruptly pushing Chen Ting away, she stumbled awkwardly against the wall, her hair slightly disheveled in front of her face.
“Being fat – although a disadvantage in the eyes of most – is perfect for the jujutsu you just tried. True masters of jujutsu usually have a bigger build. With that physique, their jujutsu is at the peak level. Think about it, are the jujutsu masters around you fat or not?”
“Pervert!”
Chen Ting held her shoulder for a while before she recovered. The tingling sensation hadn’t completely gone away, but her arm could mostly move, and the intense numbness began to dissipate around her body.
“Don’t worry; it was just a minor acupoint I hit, it won’t harm your body. But let warn you, don’t even think about fighting in this room again. This ti it was just a minor acupoint, next ti it will be straight to the heart, you won’t have a chance to live. Don’t look at like that. The last ti I was stabbed in the back, I intended to go on a killing spree when I t anyone – but now I’ve had a change of heart, not because of you, but for the sake of Dragon Team, for Captain Long. You got that?”
