Lin Chen looked at the surveillance video, a cold smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

Today, Lin Chen left the Dragon Group base early, but of course, this was just to cover his tracks.

After driving away from the base, Lin Chen got out not far away and stealthily returned.

Of course, all of this was done without anyone being the wiser.

Sure enough, Wu Xiong started to take action as soon as Lin Chen left in the evening.

Wu Xiong first went to the surveillance room, instructed the soldier to turn off the surveillance, and then headed to the cell.

In the Dragon Group, no one dared to disobey Wu Xiong's orders, let alone these ordinary duty soldiers.

Thus, Wu Xiong smoothly passed through several sentry posts and arrived at the cell where Zhang Tian was held.

Today, after hanging up the phone, Wu Xiong became increasingly uneasy, even though he believed Zhang Tian wouldn't betray him, such things are hard to say.

Lin Chen was clearly not someone easy to deal with, and if he used some dirty trick to make Zhang Tian confess, it would be extremely disadvantageous to him.

Wu Xiong knew the longer he waited, the more dangerous it became, so he had to eliminate Zhang Tian, his big threat, as soon as possible.

Today, Lin Chen received a meeting notice and left in a rush.

Wu Xiong knew that his opportunity had arrived; with Lin Chen gone, this Dragon Den was his turf, and such an opportunity was rare.

So Wu Xiong decided to take a risk and act immediately.

Lin Chen watched Wu Xiong in the video, a mocking expression on his face.

Lin Chen originally wanted to use soul-capturing on Wu Xiong directly, but Xiao Shuai told him that this guy's body actually contained a Spiritual Treasure that blocked mental attacks, so Lin Chen had to lure the snake out of its hole.

Wu Xiong walked to the cell door and took a deep breath. He knew that now he could only move forward; there was no retreat.

Actually, Wu Xiong was once an outstanding Dragon Group warrior, with strength and brains, achieving major merits multiple times, which led to him becoming the leader of the Xicheng Dragon Group.

He was the youngest leader in various regions of the Dragon Group, with a promising future.

But everything changed when he met a woman named Hong Ling.

Hong Ling was someone he met at an official reception, and from the first meeting, he was captivated by her enchanting figure.

This woman occupied almost all his thoughts, and it was through Hong Ling's introduction that he met Family Head Qin Wei of the Qin family.

Actually, Hong Ling was sent by Qin Wei to Wu Xiong's side, as the Qin family had always been doing shady business, with the Dragon Group being a major threat to them.

But having an insider in the Dragon Group changed everything; Wu Xiong initially upheld his duty, but under Hong Ling's persistent persuasion, he finally succumbed.

At first, he only helped the Qin family with small favors, leaking minor intelligence, and the Qin family was very generous, quickly filling his Swiss bank account with tens of millions; however, as he sank deeper, his daring grew bolder.

Until he sold out information last time, causing Zhao Xiaohua's special operations team to walk right into an ambush, ultimately leading to their annihilation. To cover his tracks, he redecorated the warehouse and staged a scene the next day.

Finally, he detonated the explosives he had long planted, thinking he did it seamlessly, only to be completely seen through by Lin Chen.

This time, the Qin family promised him that as long as he took care of Zhang Tian, they would arrange for him and Hong Ling to go abroad, so he decided to take the risk.

Wu Xiong entered the cell, with two soldiers quickly snapping to attention and saluting him.

"How is the prisoner's condition?" Wu Xiong glanced at Zhang Tian inside the cell and asked.

"Report to Captain Wu, the prisoner just underwent punishment today and is now very weak; he hadn't eaten dinner," the soldier reported.

Wu Xiong nodded, showing a heartbroken expression: "I didn't expect such a disgrace to come out of our Dragon Group; this is my failing. The higher-ups are very concerned about this case; make sure to always monitor the prisoner's condition, and do not let any issues arise."

The two soldiers nodded continuously, after all, Wu Xiong was their superior and often lectured them.

Wu Xiong continued: "Zhang Tian is one of my men, he has been with me for so many years, and I know him the best. Let me take him out for some ideological work; it might help with your interrogation."

Lin Chen sneered; Wu Xiong was dreaming, thinking he could take the person away, find a reason to kill him, and at worst receive a reprimand.

The plan was too calculated by the other party, but Lin Chen anticipated this, and naturally wouldn't let him succeed.

Sure enough, one of the guard soldiers saluted and said, "Captain Wu, Advisor Lin instructed us before he left that no one could take the prisoner from the cell except him, and he specifically mentioned you."

"Alright, fine, people haven't even left, and already they're disregarding me?" Wu Xiong said angrily.

The soldier reluctantly said, "Captain Wu, we have no choice; we've sworn before Advisor Lin and if anything happens, we'll face a military court. How about I give Advisor Lin a call?"

Upon hearing the soldier mention making a call, Wu Xiong quickly shook his head: "Forget it, there's no need."

Wu Xiong dared to come because Lin Chen wasn't present. If Lin Chen found out, how could he silence the witness?

After pondering for a moment, Wu Xiong said: "If I can't take him, at least let me have a few words with him, right? Young man, that Lin Chen was sent by the higher-ups and will leave eventually."

Wu Xiong's words were a naked threat; his intention was clear: do me this favor today, and I'll take care of you in the future. But if you don't give me face today, it won't be pretty when that Advisor Lin leaves.

The two soldiers exchanged glances and nodded, saying: "Alright, Captain Wu, please go ahead, but don't take too long."

Only then did Wu Xiong nod with satisfaction, already having a plan in mind.

One of the soldiers opened the cell door, and Wu Xiong patted the soldier who opened the door.

"Well done, young man, you have a future. I, Wu Xiong, will remember this favor."

Wu Xiong patted the soldier's shoulder and then walked into the cell.

Looking at the injured Zhang Tian, Wu Xiong's heart was filled with mixed emotions.

After all, Zhang Tian had been with him for seven or eight years, and now the once gallant subordinate had been tortured in the Dragon Den almost beyond recognition.

Even though he was already covered in wounds, he was still shackled hand and foot, appearing as wretched as possible.

Looking at this once loyal subordinate, Wu Xiong gritted his teeth in secret: "Brother, if you must blame someone, blame yourself for being careless. Everyone works for themselves; I'm doing this to set you free."

Although Wu Xiong had the intent to kill Zhang Tian, the two soldiers outside were watching him, so if he acted directly, he would surely expose himself, but he already had a vicious plan in mind.
