"Tianlin, the boss assigned us a task today. Remember to finish what you're doing this afternoon and come with me."

Lin Tian froze instantly.

He awkwardly turned his head away, trying to find a way to refuse, but then he saw the man's cold gaze glaring at him.

There was a sense of 'You dare refuse me? You want to die' in his eyes.

Lin Tian felt that there was something wrong with that look in his eyes, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only laugh awkwardly and agree.

Even as they set off in the afternoon, he remained anxious and even considered refusing to go with Zhou Jianguo.

Zhou Jianguo, however, feigned concern and said, "Tianlin, the boss was very dissatisfied with your performance the last two times. I heard from them that the boss has begun to doubt your identity, and I'm afraid that if you don't try to prove yourself soon, you're doomed!"

Suspect?

Lin Tian kept his head down, not daring to look up at Zhou Jianguo.

He was worried that the other person would notice the guilty look on his face, but after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong. He shouldn't be able to be found out!

His reasons were never questioned unless you investigated them thoroughly. Could it be that Zhou Jianguo discovered them?

"What are you thinking about? Are you still figuring out how to reject me this time?"

"Tianlin, I've promised the boss I'd investigate this matter thoroughly. If I discover anything suspicious about you, I'll inform the boss immediately! And we have strong reason to suspect Tiger's whereabouts! Is he...?"

Zhou Jianguo said a lot, clearly trying to provoke Lin Tian into revealing himself.

Lin Tian looked up and smiled in response: "Although I don't know what you're talking about, Sixth Master, since you think so highly of me and insist on taking me there, then let's go. Don't worry! I will definitely perform well and dispel your doubts about me."

Lin Tian was full of confidence.

Zhou Jianguo's gaze lingered on him for a moment before shifting away.

It wasn't until the afternoon, when they headed to their destination, that Lin Tian learned the true purpose of their mission.

He was shocked but also wanted to leave immediately, afraid that he would give himself away. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Zhou Jianguo's question.

"Why are you hesitating? You're not thinking of refusing to come in with me, are you, Tianlin? Is there really something wrong with your identity?"

Zhou Jianguo's words immediately made Lin Tian abandon his thoughts, and he swallowed hard. He looked up and smiled, "No way! Sixth Master, you must be joking. Have you ever encountered anyone who would dare to do this before? Why are you acting so strangely today?"

Lin Tian pretended not to care and took the lead, walking forward.

Zhou Jianguo's expression had already changed behind him, but he pretended to be calm and remained still.

"No, since everything's alright, let's hurry. Time waits for no one! If we're too slow, they might lose trust in us."

Led by their subordinates, they turned left and right. Soon they arrived at the target room.

Lin Tian followed Zhou Jianguo anxiously.

When Zhou Jianguo turned to look at him with a curious gaze, Lin Tian smiled as if nothing had happened.

Lin Tian never imagined that his identity would actually be discovered one day. He had persisted for so long; was he going to lose everything at the last minute?

Suddenly, Lin Tian pretended to notice something was wrong and looked around.

"By the way, Sixth Master, where's Maodou?"

"You usually have Maodou with you when you're handling related matters, but you didn't bring him this time...is that because Maodou isn't feeling well? Should we go back and check on him soon?"

As Lin Tian spoke, he turned to leave.

But the next second, Lin Tian was grabbed by the wrist by Zhou Jianguo. The man chuckled in a low voice, "So you're planning to run away again? I knew you had something going on. In that case, come with me to see the boss after the transaction is over today."

"Traitors must never be allowed to live in this organization. And you probably don't know this, but the boss can be incredibly ruthless when it comes to subordinates he likes who have betrayed him. You'd better pray for yourself!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhou Jianguo pulled him into a room with the door already open. They were here. Only tomorrow would they learn that their purpose for this trip was actually to trade contraband!

Unexpectedly, during the preparation for the transaction, the other party suddenly pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Zhou Jianguo's head, also targeting Lin Tian.

"I'm going to dine and dash on this, but as his trusted subordinates, we'll only allow one of you to live. The other must take a gun and kill him. Come on! You decide who stays."

This was a classic case of double-crossing, catching Lin Tian completely off guard.

Lin Tian frowned, pondering how to respond.

Zhou Jianguo, however, simply picked up his hand and shoved the pistol into his hand.

"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have doubted you and would have insisted on bringing you along to complete this bullshit mission. No matter who you are, I believed in you, and now I'll just consider my fate as God's punishment for me."

"Come on, Tianlin, kill me!"

Zhou Jianguo closed his eyes, and his resolute acceptance of death was truly admirable. But at the same time, it left Lin Tian at a loss.

"I……"

Lin Tian wanted to refuse.

But the man beside him refused to back down, pointing the gun at Lin Tian's head.

"Aren't you going to make a move? Then you'll all die together!"

Zhou Jianguo suddenly realized what was happening, grabbed the other person's hand, and pressed it hard against his head.

"Don't hesitate, Tianlin, do it!"

"If we don't fight, we'll all die together!"

Two voices fell right beside my ears.

Lin Tian hesitated, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Just as he was at a loss, the man next to him pulled the trigger.

Snapped--

The gunfire that should have been heard suddenly fell silent.

Lin Tian turned his head in surprise, only to see the other person with a helpless smile in his eyes, complaining: "Young man, your superiors sent you here, but you have no guts. If you really run into that group of heinous thugs, how are you going to escape? Their behavior and manners are far superior to ours!"

clam?

Lin Tianmeng was stunned, and at the same time, he didn't know what the group of people were talking about. He just blinked and was hesitating when he heard this sentence.

What the hell?

Who sent them from above? What are these people saying?

At the same time, Zhou Jianguo, who had just been forcing Lin Tian to take action, stood up abruptly and complained helplessly, "If you're so scared, you should really go back home as soon as possible. Otherwise, if you really run into trouble, you might not be as scared and hesitant as you are now. Otherwise, they wouldn't give you time to react like we do; they would have shot you dead long ago!"
