Chapter 1588: Chapter 798: Military Support

Li Kui even burst out laughing directly. He just couldn’t understand why everyone thought Lin Beichen was an idiot. Just because he killed the top brass of the Milo Family and the Beishi Mercenary Corps that were backed by the military?

Hearing Li Kui’s laughter, Lin Beichen shot him a glare, clearly annoyed.

Li Kui immediately put away his smile and forced a serious look on his face.

Then he walked up to Red-haired, raised his hand, and slapped him hard across the face, making Red-haired’s head buzz.

"All your guys call Brother Lin an idiot—was that what you taught them?"

"Otherwise how come every one of your men who sees Brother Lin says he’s an idiot?"

Hearing Li Kui ask that, Zhao Ligeng, who had been standing there with a straight face, almost couldn’t hold back his laughter. He hurriedly turned his head away, afraid someone would notice.

Luckily everyone’s attention was on Red-haired. He clutched his head, crying out in pain, "Brother Li, it hurts, it hurts, it really wasn’t me who taught them."

"I swear to the heavens!"

"Then explain what’s going on?" Li Kui asked viciously.

"It’s because that’s how the military people talk, so now every force that knows about this thinks your Brother Lin is an idiot."

"Of course, that doesn’t include me." As he spoke, Red-haired hurriedly covered his own mouth.

At this moment, Red-haired’s men in the warehouse finally realized what had just happened.

They all turned to look at the guy who had called Lin Beichen an idiot earlier.

That guy’s scalp went numb on the spot. He realized he had just made a huge mistake.

Then he suddenly noticed that the friend guarding the door outside had a bit of redness on his face, that looked like a handprint, and he immediately put it together.

Before Red-haired could react, that guy also started slapping himself crazily. "I deserve to die, I’m a bastard, I really must have had my brain fried in lard."

"How could I say something like that?"

He cursed himself as he slapped, not holding back at all.

Li Kui watched, his heart pounding. He thought this kid really didn’t spare himself.

Then he looked back at Red-haired and said, "Your men are pretty good at reading the room."

"Heh heh, so-so, so-so." Red-haired kept a grin on his face, but inside he was cursing up a storm, thinking Li Kui was about to hit him again.

Li Kui suddenly raised his hand and brushed his own hair back, and Red-haired flinched hard in fright.

Everyone around was dumbfounded, and Li Kui laughed, "What are you dodging for, kid?"

"I just touched my hair, why are you reacting like that?"

"If you’re that idle, hurry up and let my friends go."

"Or do you want Brother Lin to do it himself?"

Li Kui said impatiently.

"No need, no need, I’ll do it, I’ll do it." As he spoke, Red-haired called a few of his lackeys over to untie Zou Cha and the others and apologize.

Zou Cha’s face was streaked with tears. She was thinking, you finally remembered me, finally realized you should untie us.

But watching this whole scene, Zou Cha was completely confused and utterly shocked.

She couldn’t understand why this Red-haired suddenly treated their boss with such respect, like he was some reborn parent, not daring to disobey him at all.

Earlier, Zou Cha had been imprisoned here by Red-haired and already had a feel for his temper...

She never expected that in just the blink of an eye, Red-haired would be completely cowed by their boss Lin Beichen. It made her feel even more that her boss was unfathomable.

Especially this time, Lin Beichen had come to rescue her.

"Thank you, Brother Lin, for going out of your way to save me." Zou Cha walked up to Lin Beichen, thanking him sincerely.

Lin Beichen was always courteous to his own people, and even more so because Zou Cha had run into trouble while carrying out a mission he assigned, which led to her being imprisoned by Red-haired.

"You’re my subordinate. You got grabbed while carrying out my mission, so of course I have to come save you."

Lin Beichen waved his hand, indicating it was nothing, not worth mentioning.

But how could Zou Cha possibly treat a life-saving favor as nothing?

Then Lin Beichen turned his gaze to Red-haired.

Red-haired’s heart tightened. He rubbed his hands together, looking at Lin Beichen nervously. "Big Brother, I’ve already let your people go. If you’ve got any orders, just say the word. Whether it’s blades or flames, I won’t hesitate for a second."

"How did you get in touch with the military people? I want you to take me to meet them." Lin Beichen dropped the bomb.

"No way, Big Brother. If I bring you there, they’ll definitely kill me."

"And you’ll be in danger too. Why do you have to go to them?"

As soon as Red-haired heard that Lin Beichen wanted him to lead the way to the military, his gut twisted. This was obviously trouble. If the two sides started fighting, he’d definitely be the first one to suffer.

Seeing Red-haired hesitate, before Lin Beichen could speak, Li Kui was already anxious. "You just swore you’d go through blades and flames for Brother Lin without complaint. How come you’re backing out already?"

"You think you can just kidnap our people and then walk away clean after you let them go?"

Li Kui strode toward Red-haired, voice vicious. "If you keep being this clueless, I’ll kill you right now."

Red-haired shuddered in fright and hurriedly changed his tune. "Brother Li, I’ll take you, I’ll take you, okay?"

On one side was dying right now; on the other, maybe dying later. Any normal person would know which to choose.

"Zou Cha, go back to the contractors and finish the mission."

"This time there shouldn’t be any more obstacles."

Lin Beichen said to Zou Cha, then followed Red-haired out of the warehouse.

Red-haired said that here in Freedom City there was a captain from the military, and he’d take Lin Beichen and the others to him now.

Then Red-haired led Lin Beichen and the other three to a hotel.

When they saw the hotel, both Lin Beichen and Li Kui felt it looked familiar, because they had been here before.
