Chapter 1652: Why Did You Participate in the Mission?

After the exercise, Xu Zhenyu set up the basement into a temporary base station all by himself.
After the previous exercise before the official operation and the mortal battle between Xu Zhenyu and the foreign team leader, this temporary top-level elite preparation team finally passed the running-in period and began to slowly build trust within the team.
And because Xu Zhenyu was able to fight, his strength was recognized and respected, and he successfully established prestige and a very strong voice in this team.
These few days there were no activities because they were in a foreign country, and they were also responsible for important tasks, thus no one could move at will, and they all lived in the basement all day.
Life was boring and meaningless.
The soldiers could not stand the idling, so everyone gathered together for friendly competitions, playing mahjong and cards, smoking…
“F*ck, staying in this ghost place all day long is bad enough, but we also aren’t allowed to drink. They really don’t want anyone to live.” A Country E soldier with anxiety written all over his face slammed a card to the ground.
Several soldiers complained.
As the saying went, soldiers who could not drink alcohol could not be regarded as soldiers.
Soldiers all over the world were the same.
The foreign team leader grabbed Xu Zhenyu’s shoulder with one arm and said in a brotherly manner, “Well, let’s find a way to get some wine and help everyone to solve the problem?”
After a fight, he actually became close to Xu Zhenyu. During this time, the two men often interacted with each other. Whenever they fought for fun, the soldiers would get together and bet on who would win and who would lose.
This had also become one of the fun activities for everyone during this time.
Xu Zhenyu said bluntly, “We are not allowed to drink on this mission!”
His prim and proper expression shocked the foreign team leader, and he felt ashamed.
Xiao Huang, who was playing cards, raised his head and yelled, “Captain, sending condemned soldiers that are not allowed to drink. Which code is this in the military’s expatriate code?”
Several Country Z soldiers heard Xiao Huang’s words and immediately laughed.
The foreign soldiers did not know anything.
Xu Zhenyu was immediately annoyed, “How will I know that. I do not follow this code.”
Suddenly, all the people in the basement laughed.
The foreign team leader patted Xu Zhenyu’s shoulder and laughed. “You really are something! You’re really good at fooling people.”
He was almost fooled just now too.
Xu Zhenyu reluctantly said, “In this deserted country, if you have the ability to get wine, I will acknowledge you as my grandpa.”
Suddenly, everyone went limp.
Those playing cards went back to the cards, those playing matches went back to the fighting, and those smoking went back to their cigarettes.
While smoking a cigarette, Xu Zhenyu emerged from the basement where the soldiers gathered.
Si Yiyan was sitting on the sofa, banging on the computer, and the noises next door seemed to not affect him at all. He sat there quietly with a sense of boldness around him.
Xu Zhenyu leaned on the gray mud wall for a while and said, “Ninth Si, can I ask you a question?”
Although Ninth Si was the third party in this mission and they were not meant to interact often, the chances of them meeting each other were almost innumerable.
“No, I won’t answer your question.” Si Yiyan rejected Xu Zhenyu without hesitation. He knew what questions Xu Zhenyu wanted to ask.
He clearly wanted to inquire about his identity.
Besides the subordinates who had followed him for many years and Wen Xinya, so far no one knew his true identity.
Regardless of his identity as the authoritative figure of Xiasi Group, or Lucifer’s highest decision-maker, all of his identities were hidden, and he would not expose them unless necessary.
Xu Zhenyu’s expression was resolute and cold. “Why?”
He did really want to ask Ninth Si about his identity, not as colonel Xu Zhenyu, but as Xu-er.
Ninth Si’s identity was too mysterious and unpredictable, as if everyone who knew his identity was unscrupulous, which caused him to have some bad associations and speculations.
Since this involved Wen Xinya, he wanted to understand it.
Si Yiyan continued to knock on the computer. The crackling sound was almost inaudible with the noise next door.
Xu Zhenyu was a little annoyed and asked relentlessly, “I’ll ask you another question. Regarding your identity, does Wen Xinya know?”
Unable to inquire about his identity, he had to back down.
Si Yiyan then looked at him seriously. “I would never deceive or intentionally hide anything from her.”
Xu Zhenyu was afraid of his identity. Since the two people got to know each other till now, he had been very guarded against him. This time, although he participated in this task in the east, Xu Zhenyu did not trust him fully.
Xu Zhenyu suddenly went speechless.
Of course!
Wen Xinya definitely knew.
She was a person who could not stand secrets. How could she tolerate any deception?
Xu Zhenyu was silent for a long while and then suddenly asked in a hoarse voice, “Why are you participating in this mission?”
Ninth Si was not the kind of person who liked to gossip, nor was he the kind who was driven by the military at will. He was authoritative, noble, powerful, magnificent, and even the military was when cautious dealing with him.
Someone like this would surely not suddenly participate in this task for fun!
Wen Xinya knew the identity of Ninth Si, so naturally, she knew that Ninth Si could help him in this task.
He had to make such associations and links.
Si Yiyan slowly leaned into the back of the sofa, the dim light reflecting on his face. “You said before that you only wanted to ask one question. I didn’t answer it, so I made it up to you. Instead, you are pushing your boundaries.” He looked at him with a smile. “Sometimes you shouldn’t be too curious or you won’t be able to accept the answer.”
He was not surprised that Xu Zhenyu would guess this!
Xu Zhenyu was not stupid. On the contrary, he was extremely clever. This was reflected in his military talents. Xu Zhenyu seemed to be very casual and playful, but he was quite open-minded. Even in the peaceful 1950s, such people would shine.
From a man’s point of view, Si Yiyan quite admired him.
However, obviously, from the standpoint of an enemy, it was not a good thing to have a clever and intelligent opponent.
There was no need for a positive answer. Xu Zhenyu already got the answer he wanted. He bit his cigarette butt and said, “You think wrong, the answer is not so difficult to accept. I am not the kind of self-confident, self-righteous silly dumbass. You being willing to participate in the task is beneficial for me and not at all harmful. Not only can I complete the task more smoothly, but I can also make Wen Xinya care for me. The person who is unable to accept the answer is you!”
