Chapter 1584: Chapter 796: The Answer!

That’s right, he saw Lin Beichen seem to be showing concern for him, even patting him on the shoulder, which made him extremely excited, likely unable to sleep for several days.

Of course, Lin Beichen was completely unaware of this. He certainly couldn’t have imagined that a small gesture of his could have such a huge impact on his subordinates.

At the training ground, everyone without exception turned their gaze towards Lin Beichen.

Those nearby with nothing to do all stepped forward to greet Lin Beichen.

"Hello, Brother Lin."

Lin Beichen was quite approachable, smiling and nodding at them, indicating that they should go about their business and not worry about him.

Then Lin Beichen and Emily arrived at the designated area for rifle shooting practice.

There were a total of ten shooting booths here, and quite a few people were already practicing.

Seeing Lin Beichen approaching, some people got so excited that they missed their targets entirely.

Lin Beichen didn’t pay them any attention as he knew that sometimes, the gap in status could indeed create a barrier. If he focused too much on them, they might feel uncomfortable.

Finding an empty shooting booth, Emily picked up the prepared firearm and smiled at Lin Beichen, saying, "This time I don’t have to disassemble this gun for practice, right?"

Lin Beichen shook his head.

Following that, he began teaching Emily how to aim and shoot using the three-point line method, and how to practice and find the right feel.

The two of them continued practicing at the shooting booth.

After a while, someone ran over from afar towards Lin Beichen.

Naturally, Lin Beichen stopped teaching Emily and looked at the person running over.

It turned out to be the little brother who had been patrolling outside Lin Beichen’s room earlier.

Seeing it was him, Lin Beichen knew that something must have happened.

"Lin... Brother Lin, Captain Chen... Captain Chen..."

It looked like he had been running hard, exhausted to the point of being tongue-tied.

Lin Beichen comforted him, saying, "Speak slowly, no rush."

Hearing Lin Beichen’s comforting words, the person relaxed, took a moment to breathe, adjusted himself, and when he felt he could speak normally, he continued.

"Brother Lin, Captain Chen has returned from outside, saying there’s an urgent matter for you."

Lin Beichen nodded and asked, "Hmm, where is he?"

"He’s waiting for you in your office."

"Okay." Finishing his sentence, Lin Beichen turned to Emily apologetically and said, "Emily, you see, something came up. You practice on your own for a while."

"Eh, I knew this would happen, it was the same last time too." Emily pouted her lips.

But she also knew Lin Beichen had important matters to attend to, and didn’t want Lin Beichen to dislike her, so she sensibly said, "Go ahead, go ahead, remember to come find me when you’re back."

"Hmm." Lin Beichen said, then ran off quickly out of sight.

Returning to his office, Lin Beichen saw Chen Bing sitting on a guest chair with a look of embarrassment and confusion on his face.

Seeing Lin Beichen return, Chen Bing’s expression became even more awkward and ashamed.

Lin Beichen curiously and quickly asked, "What happened, Captain Chen, just say what you have to say."

Lin Beichen himself sat down beside him, hoping not to put too much pressure on him.

Chen Bing licked his lips and said, "Brother Lin, didn’t you assign me to protect Zou Cha in Freedom City to find someone to expand the base?"

Zou Cha was the woman managing resources yesterday, Lin Beichen remembered that.

"Hmm, and then?"

Lin Beichen signaled Chen Bing to continue speaking.

"At that time, thinking that it was in Freedom City, and we wouldn’t have any conflict with anyone, I didn’t bring too many people along."

Chen Bing felt so ashamed that he wanted to crawl under the table.

But seeing Lin Beichen seriously listening, he knew if he didn’t quickly say what had happened, it would definitely upset Lin Beichen.

So, he couldn’t care about anything else and continued, "I followed Zou Cha to find the biggest house construction company in Freedom City."

"At first, Zou Cha and the opposite party were negotiating well, and they were already going to arrange people and resources to build at our base."

"But at this time, a large group suddenly arrived, looking like they were from another Mercenary Corps, disregarding that we had already made arrangements with the opposite party, and directly told the house construction company to build their base first."

"Naturally, Zou Cha was not agreeable, and of course, neither was I, so we told them we were here first, and they should look for another house."

Hearing this, Lin Beichen roughly understood what had happened.

It was probably a conflict with these people, but if there was a conflict, why did Captain Chen come back?

This point was something Lin Beichen couldn’t make sense of, but he didn’t ask outright because he knew Chen Bing would continue to explain what happened next, so it was better not to interrupt casually.

Having said so much in one breath, Chen Bing was also exhausted, but seeing Lin Beichen staring seriously at him, he knew Lin Beichen wanted to know what happened next, so he took a breath and continued.

"Unexpectedly, they actually fought us directly in Freedom City."

"Luckily, at that place, guns were prohibited, so it was just a melee fight."

"Brother Lin, some areas of Freedom City are under military control, and guns are not allowed to be carried in. Brother Lin, you should know about this, right?" Chen Bing worried that Lin Beichen, being an outsider, might not be familiar with the regulations of Freedom City, so he specifically explained to him.

"Hmm." Lin Beichen expressed he was aware. When he first came to Freedom City, Li Kui had mentioned this matter to him, since it was quite unique, so he had always remembered it.
