Chapter 852: Unexpected!
"It's ......"
Under the illumination of the flashlight, the figure on the wooden chair finally appeared clearly in front of Lin Cheng's eyes, looking at the old man who was firmly locked on the wooden chair with four pairs of shackles and a depressed face, Lin Cheng couldn't help frowning deeply.
The old man looked very bad, the shackled parts of his hands, neck and ankles had ground up a lot of blood blisters, although there were no scars on his face, but the pale face as paper obviously showed that this person had suffered a lot of torture before, and even if he was illuminated by a dazzling flashlight, he didn't react much at this time.
"Minister Xu, come over for a moment."
After carefully observing for a moment and making sure that the old man could not pose any threat to himself, Lin Cheng put down his flashlight, turned around and beckoned to Xu Fang, who was not far away, and motioned for her to come and take a look.
"What's wrong...... Huh? β
Hearing Lin Cheng's greeting, Xu Fang's heart tightened, but he still walked over slowly, and when he walked to the side of the wooden chair, he stopped, and found that there was a person on the wooden chair, and he couldn't help but ask him with some surprise.
"Let's see if you recognize who this is."
Turning on the flashlight again and handing it to Xu Fang, Lin Cheng pointed to the old man on the wooden chair and said to her.
Holding the flashlight and slowly probing the old man's face, Xu Fang squinted, and after seeing the old man's face clearly, his hands suddenly shook, and he almost threw the flashlight out!
"Thank you...... Commander-in-Chief Xie?! How could it be him?! β
Looking at the decadent old man on the wooden chair in disbelief, Xu Fang trembled the corners of his mouth, and his face looked like a ghost!
"Commander-in-Chief Xie? You mean, this old man is Xie Xinbai?! β
And Lin Cheng was also shocked when he heard Xu Fang's exclamation, he originally thought that this old man was Xie Xinbai's sworn enemy, and he locked people here to torture in order to fight his opponent, but he didn't expect it to be himself!
"That's right!"
Nodding very affirmatively, Xu Fang replied while staring at Xie Xinbai with big eyes around him to check his injuries: "Although I don't know what is going on, I am very sure that this is Commander-in-Chief Xie himself!" β
"It's weird to be a real mother......"
After Xu Fang's confirmation, Lin Cheng immediately felt that his experience of this day was really magical enough, and other things were forgotten, but he couldn't imagine that Xie Xinbai, who he had been looking for for a long time, would be locked up here!
"As the commander-in-chief of Pingcheng, Xie Xinbai was secretly imprisoned here, and there were two masters left by him to guard here, while General Liu was convening a meeting of the high-level officials to discuss major matters...... What do you think about this? β
Feeling that things were getting more and more interesting, Lin Cheng held his chin and thought for a moment, then looked up and asked Xu Fang.
Hearing this, Xu Fang withdrew the finger that was on the tip of Xie Xinbai's nose, sighed and replied: "How else can you look at it, it is obvious that the top level of the headquarters has just undergone a great change, but I didn't expect Commander-in-Chief Xie to become a victim of this great change......"
"Hmm...... I should have left a living mouth just now if I knew this! As a result, I can't even inquire about the specific situation now. β
Nodding, seeing that Xu Fang also thought the same, Lin Cheng couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, after all, he couldn't have imagined that it would be Xie Xinbai himself who was locked up here, which made all the plans he had made before instantly disrupted.
"There's no way around it, who would have thought things would be the way things would go."
Seeing Lin Cheng's annoyed look, Xu Fang waved his hand, "But ...... Since what you were looking for from the beginning was Commander-in-Chief Xie, now that he is already here, can we take him and evacuate quickly? I always feel like it's going to be a problem to stay here any longer......"
"Yes."
Hearing this, Lin Cheng also nodded, he originally wanted to come to Xie Xinbai to inquire about the secret of the end of the world, since the person is already here now, and seeing that his state is obviously at the mercy of others, then his task has been completed, and then he only needs to take him out, as for what General Liu is planning to plan, it has nothing to do with him.
"Click......"
After deciding what to do next, Lin Cheng walked up to Xie Xinbai again, reached out and pulled on the shackles on his wrists, only to find that the shackles were much harder than he had imagined, and no matter how much strength he tried, he couldn't tear them off.
And when he was pulling the shackles, he inadvertently touched the wound on Xie Xinbai's wrist, and then he heard the other party suddenly gasp a big breath, and his eyes opened suddenly!
"Hey, there's still a reaction?"
Seeing Xie Xinbai suddenly open his eyes, Lin Cheng was suddenly a little surprised, he originally thought that this guy was dying when he saw the other party's half-dead state, but he didn't expect that he just moved the other party and woke up instantly.
"You...... Who are you? β
After struggling to open his eyes and look at the strange young man in front of him, Xie Xinbai took a breath and asked him in an unusually hoarse voice.
Hearing the other party's inquiry, the corners of Lin Cheng's mouth curled, and he said to him with a smile: "It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that the two guys who guarded you just now have ascended to heaven one step ahead of you." β
"What?"
Hearing Lin Cheng say that the two dog legs who had tortured him for a long time were actually dead, Xie Xinbai's heart was suddenly shocked, and he hurriedly struggled to sit up and asked, "Are you...... Are you sure?! Those two people are not ordinary people, how did you deal with them? β
At this moment, Xu Fang also walked up and explained to Xie Xinbai: "Commander-in-Chief Xie, I can prove to you for him that those two people are really dead!" β
"You...... Are you Xiao Xu of the Ministry of Affairs?! β
Hearing Xu Fang's voice, Xie Xinbai turned his head and found that the other party was a little familiar, and after carefully remembering it for a while, he suddenly remembered the identity of the other party!
Seeing that Xie Xinbai recognized himself at a glance, Xu Fang couldn't help but feel very surprised, nodded and admitted: "That's right, I didn't expect Commander-in-Chief Xie to recognize me......"
"There is no ...... in this command staff that I don't know"
Seeing the surprise on Xu Fang's face, Xie Xinbai shook his head indifferently, "But you are obviously the head of the affairs department, how could you appear here inexplicably?" And this young manβ"
As he spoke, his eyes moved to Lin Cheng, "I don't recognize it!" What happened to the headquarters during the time I was unconscious, can Minister Xu tell me? β
Seeing that Xie Xinbai was anxious to inquire about what happened as soon as he woke up, Lin Cheng was also speechless at this old man, waved his hand and said to him: "I said Commander-in-Chief Xie, you are all so virtuous now, does it make sense to take care of what happened to the headquarters again?" And honestly, the two of us don't have any fewer doubts than you do now, but no matter how many questions we have, at least we have to leave this place first, right? β
