The one appearing at the door was a waiter. Seeing Hu Bin suddenly open the door, he was startled for a moment and then adjusted his emotions before saying, "Sir, a gentleman asked me to relay a message, stating that he is waiting for you in Table 5 of the ocean-view private room."

A suspicious look flashed across Hu Bin's eyes: “What gentleman What does he look like”

“Yellow hair, wearing sunglasses. I couldn't see his face clearly,” the waiter replied.

"Alright, I'll be there in a moment," Hu Bin closed the door and adjusted his mood. He looked at himself in the mirror to check his makeup, confirming everything was fine before he coldly smirked: "Finally arrived."

On the way there, Hu Bin had already sifted through everyone he could think of who might be able to assist him with ambushing the Dark Military Academy en route. In this unfamiliar territory where Easterners were looked down upon, no one would go out of their way to do something like that.

Who exactly was it

Hu Bin had absolutely no idea who could be behind this; all he could do was clutch the dagger at his waist tightly. If the situation turned sour, he'd have to strike a fatal blow at any moment.

Hu Bin stood outside the room for an entire minute and took deep breaths for another full minute. He knew that opening the door might mean entering irredeemable calamity, but he had no choice but to open it.

He suddenly opened the door, only to see a man with his back turned to him—yellow hair, face unrecognizable, and an aura that didn't exude any danger at all.

Holding the dagger in his left hand and gripping the gun handle in his right, Hu Bin asked solemnly: "Who are you What do you want from me"

At this moment, Hu Bin believed that if anything were to go wrong, he could kill the man instantly.

However, the man did not speak.

"If you don’t say anything, I’m leaving," Hu Bin sneered. He wanted to see what tricks the other party would come up with.

But how could Hu Bin know that the reason why the other person wasn't speaking was because he had no idea how to start a conversation.

"No matter who you are, I warn you not to have any malicious intentions towards me or my family. I won’t let you off."

Wang Zheng heard that familiar voice and swallowed several times before saying, "You talk more now than you used to."

"Is that so Do you know how I was in the past" Hu Bin gripped the dagger in his hand tighter once again.

"Sang. Long time no see."

Wang Zheng forcibly suppressed the emotions in his heart as memories from the past played before him like a film, replaying endlessly in his mind these days.

Sang

Sang!

Hearing this nickname, Hu Bin suddenly felt enlightened!

It seemed so long ago...

Sorrow!

This name has long been automatically blocked in Hu Bin's mind.

All those past experiences, all the blood shed, and all the camaraderie were buried deep within that sealed history. Over these years, even during pitch-black nights when he was alone, Hu Bin had never dared to open it again.

Yet, this man in front of him just called out a code name that Hu Bin nearly forgot!

"Who are you" Sorrow couldn't help but loosen the dagger but clenched his fists tightly as his body trembled involuntarily.

"Long time no see."

Wang Zheng turned around, a complex expression on his face. Seeing Sorrow's appearance, he gave a bitter smile and said, "Five years have passed; your disguise is still so ugly."

When Hu Bin saw clearly Wang Zheng’s face, he was shaken to the core, disbelief flashing in his eyes as he trembled and said, "You... Leader!"

"Without a team, what use is there for a leader" Wang Zheng shook his head. Although he was very excited to see an old comrade after so many years, remembering He Yan’s words left him with an unpleasant taste.

People's hearts change; although he had always believed in Sorrow, many things are beyond human prediction, especially when it comes to the human heart—this is the most fickle of all.

In a classic Chinese poem from the Book of Songs, there’s a line that says "A lonely white rabbit goes east and looks west; new clothes surpass old ones but old friends surpass new." If an old friend remains unchanged in their heart, they are naturally still good brothers. But if his heart truly changes, Wang Zheng couldn't guarantee that he wouldn’t hesitate when pulling the trigger.

Hearing what Wang Zheng said, Sorrow's eyes flashed with a complex mix of sorrow and anger. At the same time, he snapped to attention, his right hand fiercely hitting his forehead as he rendered a standard military salute in Hu Bin’s honor!

"Captain, I'm here to report! Even if the team is gone, you are still my captain. If... if you're willing to accept me!" Hu Bin's voice was filled with self-blame and remorse, making his regret more apparent.

"Have a seat." Wang Zheng didn't return the salute because he found it somewhat awkward for him; when he first met Li Minghao, Wang Zheng had wanted to return the military salute but put down his hand halfway through.

Hu Bin still couldn't calm himself. He never would have imagined that he could run into Wang Zheng here, his former captain and also the one who guided him in his special forces career.

When Hu Bin saw Wang Zheng, everything became clear to him: the mysterious sniper during their pursuit on the highway must have been his captain without a doubt. Only he had such capability, with precise calculations, superb marksmanship, and tactical choices made instantaneously—something not every special forces soldier could achieve.

"Captain, how did you get here" Hu Bin was speaking more than usual; it seemed that years abroad had changed him for the better.

Back then, this kid would have just grunted "Captain" and remained silent. Wang Zheng stayed quiet as long as he wanted to.

"I came looking for you." After a brief pause, Wang Zheng said.

"You specifically came for me" Hu Bin shook his head with a bitter smile: "Looks like my whereabouts are already exposed. Captain, since you're here, ask whatever you want to know; I will answer truthfully."

Wang Zheng, usually straightforward and decisive, now found it hard to speak, because the person before him was not an enemy but his closest brother.

"I'm not doubting you; I've never doubted you." Wang Zheng squinted at Shang, what he said wasn't a cover-up or denial of the obvious, but rather, the truth in his heart.

"But there are things that I need to know. Shang, tell me the truth," Wang Zheng stated.

Hu Bin's eyes revealed pain as he spoke bitterly: "I've long stopped daring to think about those matters.e guards at the gate and armed patrolmen, there were numerous undercover sentries around the area who would take immediate action once they spotted anyone suspicious.In just a short while, Wang Zheng...
