Chapter 067: The Love of Master and Apprentice
Rogers quickly covered his wound and took a few steps back until he knocked over a chair and reached the outside of the table. He leaned against the table, holding on to the table with one hand before he could barely stand.
"Captain!" Yang Fan wanted to step forward to help.
Rogers held out his hand to stop him. Then he struggled to pick up the chair, sat down on it, and pressed hard against the wound. Blood flowed from Rogers' fingers, quickly staining the ground beneath his feet red.
Yang Fan looked at the scene in front of him, and a sense of guilt actually appeared in his heart. He wanted to step forward, but he couldn't find a reason.
When he killed the harvester, he felt like a different person. Killing people was originally the saddest level for a soldier or mercenary, but Yang Fan easily passed it under anger.
However, killing the acquaintances he knew, especially the comrades-in-arms who had been born and died together, made Yang Fan's heart change dramatically.
Yang Fan put the Buddha light behind his back and said, "Captain, give up!" If you promise to give up everything you have now and go with your daughter to live a normal life, I can find a way to let you go! β
Rogers endured the pain, adjusted his breathing and smiled: "Yang Fan, you are really too kind!" Thank you, Yang Fan. β
"Thank me? Captain, I don't understand what you're thanking me for? β
Rogers smiled faintly, the pain of the wound made his face twitch slightly, he took a deep breath, and said, "Thank you for avoiding my vital point with that knife just now." Even if I do this to you, you still can't bear to do it to me. And...... And you still want to let me go.
Yang Fan, you are really too kind. Did you know that kindness is actually a neutral word, and kindness is a good thing for the average person.
For mercenaries, though, kindness is deadly! But you're an exception! Hehehehe...... It's the first time I've met someone like you! A lot of originally contradictory things are perfectly integrated in you! Hehehehe...... It's unbelievable! β
"Captain! What we just said...... It counts. If you could promise meβ"
"No need!" Rogers waved his hand, put the dagger on the table beside him, looked at his wound again, then raised his head to look at Yang Fan, and smiled: "Yang Fan." Actually, I have one more thing to thank you for. I think, you already know. Seven years ago, in Thailand, it was you who killed my brother. His name is Pete, codenamed Golden Brown, and he is the Israeli killer scorpion. β
He pointed to the dagger on the table and asked, "Do you still know this dagger?" β
Yang Fan took a few steps forward and took a closer look at the dagger, which was a black blade based on the M9 saber, with a scorpion pattern on the handle.
Yang Fan stared at the pattern on the handle, and suddenly looked up and said, "This is me in Thailand-"
"That's right! This is Pete's dagger! The pattern on the handle is golden brown! Then...... That's how you killed my brother with this dagger! β
He pointed to his HK416 rifle again and said, "I also asked the miser to make this gun for my brother, but it's a pity...... He only used it once. You once asked me why this gun is called a stinger, and now ...... You get the idea, too. β
Yang Fan nodded, he did ask Rogers this question, and he remembered that it was the harvester who interrupted him. It turned out that the gun belonged to Rogers' brother, so it's no wonder that Reaper was so angry at the time. In retrospect, all the puzzles were solved.
Rogers paused for a moment and continued, "Yang Fan. You and Pete have similarities. You're all stubborn, stubborn to death......"
Rogers recalled something, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "However, you are more focused and have more potential than Pete." Pete never listens to me, he's so conceited! You, on the other hand, are completely different.
You have your own goals, your own ideas, but you don't reject other people's suggestions. You're good, you're good!
Yang Fan, whether you believe it or not, many times, I regard you as my own brother. I'm bringing you to T3, nurturing you, and getting you into SK. That's right! All of this I did was to get a genetic sample of Huaxia, and also for the genetic weapon.
But I've really always thought of you as my brother, not just Pete's stand-in or a tool. β
Yang Fan was silent, he knew that Rogers was not lying, but what he said alone did not make up for what he had done.
Rogers slowed down for a while, straightened his back with difficulty, and continued: "Yang Fan, in fact, I'm not optimistic about genetic weapons! It's overbearing, it's simply not something we can control.
But I can't control my **, people will always go to extremes and become radical when they are too persistent. The reason why I set up Group B and help you grow is because I want you to stop me one day if I can't control myself! β
Rogers nodded in satisfaction and said proudly, "Kid, you did it!" And you're doing even better than I could have hoped for! Thank you, kid, for stopping me! Thank you! β
Yang Fan's eye circles were a little moist. Faced with the initiator of all the conspiracies and tragedies in front of him, in the face of the mysterious person he had been pursuing for many years, and in the face of this one of the people who caused their family's bad luck, Yang Fan actually hesitated.
"Captain, don't say it! Promise me not to bother with this from now on, and-"
Rogers stretched out his hand again to interrupt him, and smiled, "Okay, don't talk about it!" I don't have a future anymore! I've given everything for this genetic weapons project that I don't trust myself.
Hehe, even ...... The brothers Reaper, the Dog, the Ronin, the Vampire, the Goat, and the Scalpel are also ...... How could I possibly drop everything and go back to a normal life! Hahahaha! No more!
Yang Fan, I am very grateful that you can still say such things at this time. Thank you!
If...... If you can see through my plot sooner, stop me while I still have a way out. Perhaps, I might really give up. But it's all fate, and since fate has destined me to end like this, and I've reached the end of my fate, then I can't afford to have a chance to do it all over again! β
Rogers struggled to move his body and sat upright in his chair, his hand slowly loosening from the wound. The little blood left in his body sped out, staining his entire lower body red.
At this time, Rogers' face turned pale, but he said extremely easily: "Yang Fan." I'm sorry about Anna and Thomas. Please believe me, I didn't mean to actually kill them! β
Yang Fan nodded lightly. He didn't know why, but Rogers' words had a magic that he couldn't question, even at this moment.
"Yang Fan. And one last thing, I want to thank you. That's ...... You never thought of hurting my family, especially my daughter! Thank you! β
He picked up the dagger, stroked the pattern of the hilt, smiled slightly, and said, "I used to think that if I can't kill you with this knife to avenge Pete, then I will kill myself with this dagger!" Then I can go to Pete without any guilt! Now, it looks like I don't need it anymore. β
He put the dagger next to the rifle and said, "Yang Fan, I'll give you this dagger and stinger." Give them to the people you think are worth it. To thank you for your trust in me and for your tolerance of my family, I have one last gift for you. β
"Gifts?"
Rogers nodded, and said with the last of his strength: "Yang Fan, I know that there is one thing that you haven't figured out yet. It is...... How did I get the blood code for the Huaxia genetic sample. β
Yang Fan nodded, this was indeed something he hadn't figured out, he had always thought that it was the code synthesized by Rogers based on his own blood. Today, Rogers proved his guess wrong by saying this.
But in addition to himself, only the blood of his adoptive father Yang Lin can open the password lock of Huaxia gene samples. Don't...... Yang Fan's breathing was suddenly short, and he looked like Rogers with an incredulous and extremely desperate look.
Rogers smiled faintly and said softly, "It seems that you should have guessed." That's right, that's the blood of your father Yang Lin! β
"My father? You...... I mean my father is still ......."
"That's right, he's alive."
Rogers nodded, his voice getting quieter and quieter, but he still insisted, "Back then, the harvesters brought your father back, and he wasn't dead at that time. But...... He was also dying. We brought him back to the United States, and it took a lot of effort to finally bring him back to life. But the lower half of his body was paralyzed, and he suffered a severe head injury, and he remained unconscious for all these years.
It wasn't until half a year ago that he gradually regained consciousness. But for some reason, he still hasn't fully come to his senses. However, his blood sample is now available, which gives us hope. That's why we decided to accelerate the pace of the genetic weapons program. β
"That'...... How can it be? Both Huaxia and Thailand have confirmed that his father died in Thailand! β
"Huh. That's just that Huaxia and Thailand don't want to create panic, if all three of you disappear, then isn't this really a conspiracy? Only when it is confirmed that one person is dead and the other two are missing, does this look like an accident!
Moreover, the harvester set up a fake scene when they were leaving, and they replaced your father's body with the body of a native Thai. I'm not sure if the police in Huaxia and Thailand have discovered this secret, or maybe they've all been deceived as well. β
"And where's my adoptive father?"
Rogers took out a satellite phone from the bulletproof vest on the table and said, "Through this phone, you can locate Yang Lin's location." Over the years, I have trained a team of mercenaries by myself, and now there are 12 people left, and they are guarding Yang Lin.
Yang Fan, promise me one last thing. If you can rescue Yang Lin, please let them go as much as possible.
In addition to leaving $10 million for my daughter, I've given them all of my money. As long as you give them a chance to live, they shouldn't fight with you! β
"Good! Captain, if what you say is true, I promise you! As long as they give up their resistance, I will never hurt them! And, I promise, absolutely nothing will hurt your family! β
"Good...... Thank you, Yang Fan. Rogers' voice was already very weak, and he could die at any moment due to blood loss.
Yang Fan's hatred for Rogers has eased a lot after learning that Yang Lin may still be alive, and he even wants to step forward to help Rogers stop the bleeding.
Rogers waved his hand with the last of his strength, and said in a weak voice: "Yang Fan, this is my best ending. Finally, I would like to say ...... I...... Never regret putting you ...... Bring in the T3! β
Yang Fan inserted the Buddha light back into the scabbard, looked at the dying Rogers, stood up straight, saluted a mercenary, and said solemnly: "Captain, thank you!" β
Rogers leaned back in his chair, his hands on his lap, a satisfied smile on his lips. I don't know at what point he had stopped breathing.
Yang Fan walked up to Rogers' side, helped him tidy up his clothes, and then picked up the stinger and the dagger. Kevin and the others also entered the observation room, and Han Long picked up the satellite phone and quickly left the observation room.
Younas was next to Yang Fan and said, "Boss, I have already notified the Guardian's people to come in and clean up the scene. Let's go! β
Yang Fan nodded, turned around and left the observation room.
Kevin and Sokolov walked up to Rogers, gave a mercenary salute to his corpse, and turned to follow the men of Group B away.
At the door of the elevator, Yang Fan met Mandala, Yang Yan and Eve, who were leading people to clean up the scene.
Mandala said to Yang Fan: "Yang Fan." Ms. S asked me to thank you for her, Rogers is dead. Tomorrow, Mr. F's trial will be over, and the matter of genetic weapons will be over. β
"You're welcome. Ms. S, can you let my sister come with me now? I have one more important thing to do! β
"Absolutely." Mandala turned his head to Yang Yan and said, "Swift, you go with Yang Fan!" Leave the matter to us here. β
"Okay."
Yang Yan and Group B took the elevator back to see the reception area, and just got off the elevator, Parker rushed over with a tablet and said excitedly: "Boss, boss, I found it, that place is in California!" Moreover, it's close to their farm! β
Yang Fan nodded and said to everyone, "Everyone, this is my own family's business-"
Han Long grabbed Yang Fan and walked out, saying as he ran, "Oops, boss! When has this been, and is still talking about this! It's important to save your uncle! β
"That's it, that's it!" Zhao Erhu returned Yang Fan's equipment to him, took the stinger and the dagger in his hand, and said, "Brother Yang, your family's business is our business!" Let's go! β
Everyone walked to the car, and Younas came over and said, "Boss, I contacted the prince. He'll be waiting for us in California with Isabel and Rachel straight to California! β
Yang Fan looked at the brothers around him who were more excited and anxious than himself, bowed deeply, and said with a grateful face: "Thank you, thank you!" It's nice to have you by your side at this time! β
Parker said, "Boss, we're honored to have the opportunity to witness this moment with you! β
Yang Yan looked at Yang Fan in confusion and asked, "Xiao Fan, isn't the mission over?" Where are we going now? β
Yang Fan quickly put on his equipment, took Yang Yan's hand, and said with tears in his eyes: "Sister, let's pick up Dad!" β
