Chapter 300 The President? (Going home for the holiday, only one update today, 4K+ words)

The passageway fell silent instantly, and everyone wore complex expressions.

Xu Ge and Li Dongshui were both shocked: "Gan Lan is dead? How did she die?"

Wan Xiaofei looked over: "Didn't I say before? He was killed by that guy down there!"

Xu Ge frowned: "There are so many of you, and he's all alone, and he just... was..."

"How did Xiao Zhang die?" Old Li stepped forward and interrupted Xu Ge, his voice trembling with emotion. "Weren't you on a reconnaissance mission? Did you encounter the enemy?"

Li Dongshui glanced at Xu Ge, and seeing the other nod, said directly, "Xiao Zhang was a traitor, and I killed him."

"ah?!!!"

Everyone except Thor was in shock.

Old Li, in particular, was stunned on the spot.

"What did you say? Xiao Zhang is a spy? Impossible! I've known him since he was a recruit, and I was the one who recommended him for fieldwork. He's a very honest kid, how could he be a spy?"

Old Li became increasingly agitated as he spoke, staring at Xu Ge and Li Dongshui, "What evidence do you have that you claim he's a mole?!"

Others also looked over.

Accusing a comrade of being a traitor is a very serious charge, and evidence is required.

Xu Ge raised his hand to stop Li Dongshui from speaking, his mind racing.

He originally thought that he could find out the truth by asking Gan Lan, since Xiao Zhang had already confessed everything. However, now that Gan Lan had been killed, there was no way to verify the facts.

Even if Thor and the others believe in the two of them, they still need to give an explanation.

Thinking of this, Xu Ge looked at Lao Li: "Xiao Zhang deliberately fired his gun when the enemy came, revealing our whereabouts. Then, under my interrogation, he confessed everything. He was bribed last month!"
"Old Li, think about it carefully. When he first went to Baisha Village to investigate, wasn't he out of contact for an hour?"

Old Li was visibly taken aback: "It seems there really is such a thing..."

Everyone else looked on with a look of sudden realization.

Xu Ge immediately asked, "Did he bring back any useful intelligence after he returned?"

“I remember now, that’s right. I even praised him back then, that he was able to gather so much intelligence on his first trip out.”

Old Li's expression changed repeatedly as he looked at Xu Ge, "But even so, you can't just kill him. Shouldn't you bring him back and hand him over to a military court for trial?"

Li Dongshui couldn't hold back any longer: "He shot at me and Xu Ge from behind. If Xu Ge hadn't unloaded his gun beforehand, we would both be dead now!"

Everyone:!!!
Everyone's expression turned serious.

Shooting a comrade in the back is the biggest taboo for a soldier!

Old Li opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything more.

"That's the end of it!"

Thor stopped the discussion with a serious expression, walked up to Wan Xiaofei, and asked, "You just said that the assassin is down there?"

Wan Xiaofei nodded: "This guy escaped, but I don't know why he didn't leave. It looks like he's trying to ambush us."

"He's blocking us? And he's all alone?"

Thor was amused and annoyed. He picked up his HK416 and walked towards the cave entrance. "I want to see how he plans to block it... Hmm? What does he mean by this?"

Seeing that Thor's tone was strange, Xu Ge also came over and peered down.

The cave entrance is located on a cliff face more than ten meters above the ground. A rope is tied to the side and hangs down. On a large rock not far away, there are wheel blades, a Victor submachine gun, and a complete tactical vest.

Behind the rock, a small, thin figure would occasionally peek out to look up.

Xu Ge was also a little confused: "Why did he disarm all his weapons? He doesn't look like he's going to ambush us."

"You can't be thinking of surrendering, can you?"

Thor aimed his gun, and the man below immediately ducked back down.

"This man killed Gan Lan, we must catch him and find out who ordered him!" Thor looked at Xu Ge, "We'll hold him up here, you climb down the rope and grab him! White Legs, you come over here too!"

"Yes!"

Li Dongshui and Lei Shen locked the two sides of the rock with their guns, while Xu Ge, carrying a gun on his back, grabbed the rope and slid down.

"Force him back as soon as he shows his face, but remember to leave him alive," Thor warned.

Li Dongshui: "Understood!"

The man behind the rock peeked out, and Thor immediately pulled the trigger.

Da da!

Two bullets hit the rock, and the other party indeed retreated again.

Xu Ge had already reached the ground. He immediately pulled the SCAR-H on his back to his chest, raised the gun, and ran quickly toward the rocks.

The man remained unresponsive, neither fleeing nor reaching for a weapon to retaliate.

Xu Ge was puzzled. When he was about ten meters away from the other party, he summoned the token, but the wartime mode still did not respond.

A sense of absurdity arose in his mind. What did this guy mean?
Are you waiting for me to come and catch him?
Then why did he run away before?

With his right hand already touching the stun grenade hanging on his chest, Xu Ge decided to treat the other party to a full meal as well.

"Awoo-ru-ru-ru!"

Another shout came from behind the rock, followed by a soft cry in broken Mandarin, "Sir, don't shoot!"

Xu Ge hesitated for a moment, then abandoned the idea of ​​throwing the stun grenade and went around to the side behind the rock.

The next second, he saw a thin, dark-skinned man kneeling on the ground, bowing repeatedly to him with his hands clasped together.

Xu Ge: ? ? ?
He was completely bewildered by what he was seeing.

The other person looked harmless, probably around thirty years old, and had an incredibly devout expression.

Xu Ge pointed his gun at the other person, his face stern: "What are you doing?"

"My lord, I beg your forgiveness! I had no idea you were with them!"

Just as Xu Ge was about to say something, Thor's voice came through the earpiece: "Dog Baby, what's going on? Where is he?"

"The person is kneeling behind the rock." Xu Ge was both amused and exasperated.

"Kneeling? What does that mean? He really surrendered?" Thor's voice was full of surprise.

Xu Ge: "It seems so at the moment."

"Then bring him up. Don't let him stay outside for too long; the pursuers could come at any time."

"understand!"

Xu Ge looked down at the man kneeling on the ground: "Get up, come back to the cave with me."

"Yes, my lord!"

"Don't you dare call me 'sir,' or people will think we're on the same side!"

"Okay, my lord!"

The other person stood up and reached for the weapons and tactical vest on the rock.

Xu Ge immediately pointed his gun: "Don't move, what are you doing?"

The man looked puzzled: "These are my things, I'm taking them with me."

"You are my prisoner now, do you understand? These things are my spoils of war! You climb the rope first, I'll get them!"

"Yes! Your lord!"

"If you call me 'sir' again, I'll blow your head off, you hear me?" Xu Ge pointed a gun at the other man's head.

The man showed no fear and turned to ask, "Sir, what would you like me to call you?"

"Call him sir!"

"Yes, sir... no, sir!" "Get out of here!"

Xu Ge slung his rifle over his back, held all of the enemy's weapons and equipment in his left hand, and drew his Glock with his right.

"Yes, sir!"

The two arrived at the bottom of the cave one after the other, where Thor and the others poked their heads out, looking down with curiosity.

They never expected that Goubao would capture the enemy so easily.

"You climb up first!" Xu Ge brandished his pistol, signaling the other person to go up first.

The man grabbed the rope and was about to climb up when he suddenly seemed to sense something and abruptly turned around and pounced on Xu Ge.

"Sir, be careful!"

Xu Ge instinctively reached for the trigger, and Thor and the others above immediately pointed their guns down at him.

But the next moment, Xu Ge heard a sharp whistling sound coming from above. On a whim, he grabbed the man's arm and the two of them rolled to the side.

boom!
A violent explosion occurred four or five meters above the cave entrance, sending rubble and shrapnel flying everywhere in the shockwave.

"Mortar!!!"

Thor's voice came from above, "Two o'clock! Retreat!"

Xu Ge was thrown to the ground by the shockwave. Ignoring the pain, he quickly rolled twice and hid behind a rock.

boom!
Boom boom!

boom!
Shells bombarded the area around the cave entrance, and the two-meter-wide opening was on the verge of collapsing!
"Dog! Find a way to come back quickly... Don't stay outside..." Thor's intermittent calls came through the headset.

Xu Ge peeked out from behind the rock and looked in the two o'clock direction. He saw dozens of figures appear at the bend of the mountain range a few hundred meters away.

Taliban's government forces have arrived!
"Hold!"

Xu Ge cursed and quickly turned to look at the cliff face. The other cave entrances were all located halfway up the mountain.

The cliff face was as smooth as a mirror, making it impossible to climb up with bare hands.

Just as he was thinking of a way to escape, he suddenly felt a tightness in his left hand. It was the dark-skinned, thin man who had been squatting next to him pulling at his tactical vest.

"What are you doing?" Xu Ge pointed his gun at the other person.

"Sir, give me my things. I know where there are more caves. I'll take you in!"

Xu Ge hesitated for a moment, then immediately let go: "Okay!"

The man quickly put on his weapons and equipment, then threw a smoke grenade.

Bang!
Smoke billowed at the foot of the mountain.

"Go this way!"

The man suddenly darted out, moving with astonishing speed.

"Slow down, you fucking idiot!" Xu Ge cursed, and quickly caught up.

. . .

. . .

Around 11 a.m., Xu Ge was having lunch in the corridor, while the thin, dark-skinned man was changing the bandage on his left arm.

Xu Ge had already learned the man's name from him: Lama.

The two had narrowly escaped back into the cave amidst the Taliban's artillery fire, but were separated from Thor and his crew once again.

Furthermore, Xu Ge had already deduced from the smells in the passage that a large number of pursuers had also entered the cave.

"Lama, are you a Celestial Poison Man?"

Seeing that the other party had finished dealing with it, Xu Ge handed over a compressed biscuit and asked.

"Thank you, sir!"

Lama accepted the package with both hands and answered seriously, "Yes, I was born in Tiandu, but since I was 14, I have been traveling around various war zones, taking on some jobs."

“You’re a lone wolf!” Xu Ge understood, then asked, “Then tell me, who sent you here to assassinate Gan Lan?”

Rama tore open the biscuit packaging, took a small bite, swallowed, and replied, "I happened to be in Kel Province at the time. The commission came from Kashmir, but I know the agent well. He told me that the boss of this deal was the president of Stan and that I had to pay close attention to it."

"Who? The president of Stan?"

Xu Ge was taken aback by this answer.

So, Ganlan is actually the president's mistress? And that boy is the president's son?
He had thought that Gan Lan's lover was a big shot, but he hadn't expected him to be this big!

No wonder the military specifically said before this trip that there was no need to worry about causing diplomatic disputes; it seems that the higher-ups had already anticipated this.

No, what does the president of Stan want to do?
If Xu Ge remembers correctly, the president of Stan has always been the supreme commander of the armed forces. However, in recent years, due to the strong leadership of Prime Minister Bhutto, the current president's presence has become extremely low.

Bhutto was a staunch pro-China figure, but now it seems the current president is anti-China.

Recalling the recent assassination attempts against Bhutto, Xu Ge immediately realized that a power struggle was brewing within the State of Stan!
"Damn, politics is so complicated!"

After cursing, Xu Ge was too lazy to analyze any further. He figured that once the intelligence was reported, professionals would take care of it.

"Lama, you just said you were in Kel Province. What were you doing there? Is there some kind of request regarding Baisha Village?" Xu Ge asked.

Rama, who had finished his biscuits and was drinking water, shook his head upon hearing this: "No, I was originally competing with another sniper for a huge job, but the client suddenly canceled it."

Xu Ge asked curiously, "What big order?"

"The agent didn't say, but judging from the commission amount, I guess it was an assassination attempt on the Prime Minister of Stan."

Rama spoke as if it were a perfectly normal work matter: "It seems that Bhutto is coming to Kel Province soon to give speeches and campaign for votes."

Xu Ge glanced at Rama: "No wonder you're a professional assassin. You talk about assassinating the prime minister like it's nothing."

Lama sensed the sarcasm in Xu Ge's words and quickly said, "Sir, I'm just trying to make a living. Actually, I never intended to get any commissions; I just wanted to earn an appearance fee."

I also know that Bhutto now has a very professional security team from the Chinese military. Even if I were given this job, I would subcontract it to the sniper who was competing with me. You guys are amazing! I almost got killed by that guy with the scar on his face before!

After saying that, Rama looked at his left arm with a lingering fear.

Xu Ge, however, was interested in the sniper that Lama had mentioned and asked, "Didn't you say the commission was high? Why do you want to give the job to that sniper?"

Lama: "Assassinating a target of this level is definitely best done by long-range sniping. I'm only good at close combat, so I can't even get close. I heard that the security team even has a Gatling gun!"

Xu Ge smiled; he knew the other person was referring to the wet nurses and the like.

"Is that sniper you mentioned really that good?"

"Impressive! He only made a name for himself in Kashmir this year!"

"have you seen?"

“No, no one has ever seen him, he’s very mysterious!” Rama thought for a moment, “As far as I know, he has never failed any of the jobs he’s taken since his debut.”

"You just said that the commission was temporarily canceled. Do you know why?" Xu Ge asked again.

The struggle for power has always been a matter of life and death. He was very curious as to why the president's side would suddenly cancel the commission. It certainly wasn't because of the nanny and her people, after all, they had become so bold as to send SSG into the country!
Rama shook his head: "I don't know."

"Didn't the agent know either?"

"Sir, if you want to know, I'll ask for you once we get out."

"Okay." Xu Ge nodded, then suddenly asked, "So what are your plans now?"

Rama: "Of course I'll follow you, sir."

Xu Ge: ...

He didn't understand why this guy acted like a follower.

As can be seen from Rama's performance just now, he is truly open and honest about his questions.

Is the wartime mode really that powerful?
