"Go on. Let's see what this secret of yours is."
Lin Kuang looked at Ye Tiannan with a smirk. "Ye Tiannan, you need to understand sothing. While I don't want to kill you, if you dare to deceive , I really won't mind doing it. At worst, it might cause
a bit of trouble. But without evidence, no one can do anything to , right?"
He casually sat down on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and took a drag with a faint smile.
Seeing Lin Kuang's expression, Ye Tiannan couldn't help but swallow hard. It was just as Lin Kuang had said. Even if Lin Kuang killed him, there would be no repercussions, since no one would know he was the culprit. Moreover, without any evidence, his father could only resort to underhanded thods to seek revenge. But would such thods even work on Lin Kuang? Clearly not.
More importantly, I don't want to die. If I die, what's the point of everything I have now?
As this thought crossed his mind, Ye Tiannan's gaze toward Lin Kuang filled with a mixture of respect and fear. He knew very well that trying to play any tricks on Lin Kuang right now would be pointless.
"Mr. Lin, please rest assured. You'll definitely want to know this secret," Ye Tiannan guaranteed.
"Then spit it out. Stop keeping
in suspense. I don't have that much patience," Lin Kuang said coolly, glancing at him.
Hearing this, Ye Tiannan trembled and hurriedly said, "Mr. Lin, do you know Tong Lin?" As he spoke, he cautiously observed Lin Kuang's reaction.
At the ntion of the na, Lin Kuang's expression faltered slightly. Of course, he knew who Tong Lin was—Yang Ruotong's forr lover. He had heard about the man from Yang Ruoxi before and knew that Tong Lin had supposedly died during a military operation. But Yang Ruoxi had also ntioned that the circumstances seed more complicated than that. From the sound of it, this guy seems to know Tong Lin's identity quite well.
Seeing Lin Kuang's reaction, Ye Tiannan knew he was on the right track and couldn't help but feel a sliver of relief.
"Go on. What's the real story with Tong Lin? Is he dead or not?" Lin Kuang asked nonchalantly, though he was very interested in hearing Tong Lin's story.
"Mr. Lin, this is a long story. This Tong Lin was once a very strong soldier in the East Sea Military Region. He was even the forr captain of the Seal Special Team, which is how he ended up with Yang Ruotong. In the end, during a mission, he and all his teammates were reported dead! The mission took place in the Island Country, and its objective was their genetic technology, which the Island Country had already begun developing at the ti," Ye Tiannan explained earnestly.
Lin Kuang said nothing, rely smoking his cigarette and listening intently. He knew Ye Tiannan hadn't gotten to the main point yet.
Seeing Lin Kuang's silence, Ye Tiannan gave a wry smile internally and continued, "Mr. Lin, I can tell you with absolute certainty that Tong Lin is not dead! Furthermore, he isn't from Hua Country; he's from the Island Country! To be precise, Tong Lin was a spy planted in East Sea by the Island Country, gathering all sorts of information about the East Sea Military Region. Once he had everything he wanted, he used that mission as a pretense to trap and kill every last mber of the Seal Special Team! As for him, he returned to the Island Country to carry out various secret missions. Most importantly, that man is right here in East Sea, right now!"
Hearing this, even the normally composed Lin Kuang's expression changed, his eyes flashing with shock. He had heard from Yang Ruoxi that Tong Lin's death was suspicious, but he never imagined this was the truth.
However, he quickly composed himself. Even Yang Wucheng doesn't know sothing this classified, so how did Ye Tiannan find out? What role is he playing in all of this? Thinking this, Lin Kuang's gaze fell upon Ye Tiannan again as he gently stubbed out his cigarette.
"Ye Tiannan, is everything you've told
true?" he asked, his tone grave as he stared into the man's eyes.
Ye Tiannan nodded vigorously, a bitter smile on his face. "Mr. Lin, do you really think I need to lie to you right now?"
Lin Kuang remained silent, his deep eyes, which seed capable of seeing through a person's soul, fixed intently on Ye Tiannan's. This ti, Ye Tiannan didn't look away, eting his gaze head-on. He was overco by a jarring sensation, as if Lin Kuang's profound stare was laying all of his secrets bare. It was an incredibly uncomfortable feeling.
After several seconds, Lin Kuang was convinced Ye Tiannan wasn't lying, and the gravity of the situation weighed heavily on him. He had only co here to teach Ye Tiannan a lesson, but he never expected to uncover such a huge secret.
I'm a soldier. Even though I'm not currently with my special forces team, I'm still a soldier! And what is a soldier's duty? To protect the people and the country! A spy like Tong Lin must be eliminated. He holds so many secrets about the East Sea Military Region... who knows what he might do?
With this in mind, Lin Kuang spoke again. "Tell , how did you find out all of this? This is highly classified information, after all."
Hearing the question, Ye Tiannan gave another wry smile. He didn't try to hide anything, replying directly, "Because… because my father is currently cooperating with Tong Lin!"
As he spoke, he watched Lin Kuang's expression begin to contort with anger and hastily added, "Mr. Lin, I know you're furious. But my father was forced into it; it was a desperate asure. If we don't cooperate with Tong Lin, he will have my father killed. He'll kill my mother and , too. My father was helpless.
"Of course, I admit my father isn't exactly a good man. He's done wrong in the past. But collaborating with an Island Country spy is sothing he's truly unwilling to do. After all, he is a citizen of Hua Country!
"Therefore, my father has always employed delaying tactics with Tong Lin, dragging out every plan. Any action that was taken was rely superficial.
"The reason I'm telling you this today is to ask for your help. If you can help us get through this crisis and eliminate Tong Lin, I swear that my father and I will stand firmly on your side!"
Looking at Lin Kuang with utmost sincerity, Ye Tiannan's knees went weak, and he dropped to the ground, kneeling before him.
