Chapter 312 Betrayal?

"Our leader separated from us when he was at the forest farm, and we don't know where he is now."

Zheng Tiannan replied, "That sniper went to the snow mountain ahead of time. He said you should know his location."

Upon hearing this, Thor, Xu Ge, and Li Dongshui immediately turned their heads and looked towards the hillside in the southeast direction.

Once the location for the hostage exchange was determined, the snipers immediately calculated that it was the best sniping position.

However, because the distance was too far, Xu Ge could only see a vast expanse of white and nothing else.

Li Dongshui asked, somewhat puzzled, "Where did this sniper come from? Is he the same field operative who appeared in Baisha Village last time?"

“We didn’t know. His name is Falcon. He seems to know Old Wang quite well. Old Wang told us to call him senior,” Du Hu said.

"Falcon? Is that his codename?" Li Dongshui looked at Thor. "You know this person?"

Thor: "The Falcon is your uncle."

Li Dongshui: ? ? ?

"No, why is my uncle here?"

Not only Li Dongshui, but the other team members were also quite surprised.

Xu Ge asked, "Cousin, is the Falcon the one who saved me in Baisha Village?"

Thor didn't answer, but looked at Zheng Tiannan: "You haven't been able to get in touch with your superiors?"

"No."

Zheng Tiannan shook his head. "Actually, the lockdown on Bacheng was lifted just before dawn. We thought our leader would meet us near the border, but we haven't seen him yet."

"Didn't he have an earpiece? Did he call out?"

"I called, but there was no response. The boss also has a satellite phone, but no one answered when I called!"

"Is it that the call won't go through or that no one answers?"

"The first two calls went through, but then it showed that the phone was switched off."

"The necklace was on him?"

"Correct!"

Thor glanced at his watch: "It's eight o'clock now. They're demanding a hostage exchange by five o'clock this afternoon. We must find or contact our superiors within that time!"

Xu Ge looked at Du Hu and the other two: "Squad leader, did Lao Wang say where he was going before he parted ways with you?"

“No, he just said we would split up and evacuate to Bacheng.” Du Hu thought for a moment. “However, he did give us some instructions, telling us that after we contacted our families, we must immediately notify the field staff to evacuate urgently.”

"why?"

"He said Hazard and Yahya are in cahoots, and that it would be dangerous for field agents to investigate them now!"

The team members' expressions changed. Xu Ge immediately thought of Niu Sanxian and hurriedly asked, "Have you informed the command center about this situation?"

Zheng Tiannan nodded: "I told you!"

“Repeat what Old Wang said.”

"it is good!"

After Zheng Tiannan finished speaking, Thor and Xu Ge exchanged a glance and said in a deep voice, "I fucking guessed right!"

Xu Ge frowned: "Given Lao Wang's style, he would definitely contact his family immediately. The fact that there's still no news means something must have happened to him. Maybe... he's already been arrested!"

Everyone:? ? ?
Everyone looked puzzled, except Thor, who had a serious expression.

Li Dongshui looked at Xu Ge as if he were an idiot: "The necklace is on the boss. If he has been captured, why would the enemy still demand a hostage exchange?"

Xu Ge: "You don't know anything! What if Lao Wang hid the necklace before he was arrested? What if the enemy wanted to use this opportunity to wipe us all out?"

Upon hearing this, the others realized what was happening, and their expressions changed drastically.

Thor suddenly asked, "How do we contact them?"

Chen Wei immediately took out a radio: "We've been using this to keep in touch."

"Shepherd, come over here and call out to the other side in Stan language, saying we want two people to switch. See what they say, and listen carefully to their tone!"

"Yes!"

Wan Xiaofei immediately stepped forward, took the radio, pressed the call button, and began to speak.

A short while later, the other side responded.

After talking to the other party for a while, Wan Xiaofei looked at everyone and said, "They said they only arrested one person and warned us not to try anything funny. I think their tone was fine!"

“The boss definitely wasn’t caught!” Zheng Tiannan said. “Even Chen Wei and I managed to shake off our pursuers last night, there’s no reason he could have been captured by the enemy!”

Thor nodded: "I agree with that. So there's only one possibility left: he's deliberately not contacting us."

Everyone:? ? ?
Just as Xu Ge was about to ask why, he suddenly remembered what Thor had said to him yesterday, and an idea immediately popped into his mind.

Old Wang's purpose in coming to Kashmir this time was to find the traitor. Unlike Thor, who relied purely on speculation, Old Wang had already determined that the traitor actually belonged to the camp of Azhar and Yahya.

In this situation, since he possesses something that Yehya desperately needs, wouldn't he consider proactively contacting them to exchange information about the mole?
If that's the case, then it's understandable why Lao Wang went missing.

Because he also knew that he needed to exchange the necklace for Chen Tao!

In his view, finding the traitor was more important than rescuing his comrade Chen Tao.

Xu Ge put himself in Lao Wang's shoes and thought about it carefully, and found that this guy really could do such a thing!

If all these inferences are true, then the enemy's demand to exchange the necklace for Chen Tao would also be a way to buy time.

Fuck!
Has Old Wang gone mad?! How is this any different from betraying a comrade?!
Thinking of this, Xu Ge glanced at Thor's expression and realized that Thor must have thought of this as well, since Thor knew Old Wang better than he did.

What about the brigade commander?

Xu Ge recalled that the other party had made two requests, with finding Lao Wang and the necklace being the top priority.

It now seems that the brigade commander probably guessed something, but he didn't agree with what Lao Wang did.

"Dog Baby! Dog Baby?"

Seeing Xu Ge standing there in a daze, Thor called out twice. Xu Ge snapped out of his reverie: "What's wrong?"

Thor: "Take some men to Bastion and see if you can find the leader."

Xu Ge: ? ? ?
"Now? It's over a hundred kilometers from here to Bacheng. There wouldn't even be enough time to get there! Even if we found him, there wouldn't be enough time to replace him!"

"I'll negotiate with the other side to postpone the departure time. You should set off as soon as possible!"

"Alright! Who should I take with me?" Xu Ge knew there was no other way at the moment.

"Bring two strong guys with them, and have them change their clothes and take off their gear!"

Thor reminded them, "You guys can go to the tourist area first and see if there are any buses to Bacheng. Zheng Tiannan, do you guys have any cash on you? Give it all to them!"

"it is good!"

A few minutes later, Xu Ge, along with Wan Xiaofei and Chen Wei, set off for Bacheng, lightly equipped.

All three of them carried only a pistol and two magazines. After descending the snow-capped mountain, they continued along the mountain road towards the tourist area.

As the world's second highest peak, and with May already being the peak season, there were quite a few tourists on the road.

Wan Xiaofei was in charge of communication, and soon he actually found him an off-road vehicle to go to Bacheng.

After agreeing on the price, the three of them immediately got into the car and set off, arriving in Bacheng an hour and a half later.

When Xu Ge arrived here for the first time, he immediately felt relieved as he watched the mercenaries and soldiers coming and going on the street.

He was initially worried that their attire would attract attention, but he found that no one cared even if they openly carried guns on their bodies.

“This is a gathering place for mercenaries, and they are very well-informed. How about we ask around first?” Chen Wei suggested. “I happened to meet a few decent mercenaries last night, and we have some connections.”

"can!"

Xu Ge immediately agreed.

Old Wang is one-eyed, and almost everyone who has seen him will remember his appearance. Asking the mercenaries for details might be a good idea.

"Come on, follow me. I know a street with lots of mercenaries on it." Chen Wei immediately led the way.

Wan Xiaofei asked, "It's not even 10 a.m. yet, the bars aren't open yet, are they?"

"Let's go and see. These mercenaries live a life of debauchery when they don't have any clients. They treat bars like their homes. Let's try our luck."

"That works too, let's go!"

About ten minutes later, Chen Wei led Xu Ge and Wan Xiaofei to the entrance of the bar from the previous night.

As expected, the gate was tightly closed.

Chen Wei was peering through the window when he suddenly heard someone call out in English from behind him: "Hey, bro, what are you looking for?"

The three turned around and saw three pickup trucks parked on the side of the road, with a bald, burly man sitting in the passenger seat at the front, looking in their direction.

Chen Wei's eyes lit up: "Dude, what a coincidence!"

"It really is you! I felt like I'd seen you somewhere before!" The bald man chuckled and whispered, "Why are you back again?"

Chen Wei immediately walked to the front of the car and asked, "Hey guys, have you seen a one-eyed middle-aged man?"

The bald man shook his head upon hearing this: "No..."

Suddenly, a thin man with a braid in the back of the truck said something, his accent sounding very heavy.

Wan Xiaofei immediately became excited and asked the same question.

Xu Ge: "What's wrong?"

"He said he saw it; he left the city with another mercenary group this morning!" Wan Xiaofei's eyes lit up.

The bald man also poked his head out and asked a few questions in a foreign language that sounded like a dialect. Looking at the three of them, he said, "The people you found have gone to Leh. Do you want me to take you there?"

Chen Wei was overjoyed: "Dude, this is great! Thank you so much!"

He then prepared to take out his money.

"It's free! You already paid for the drinks last night!" the bald man said earnestly. "We already had a job in Leh, it's on our way anyway, get in the car!"

"thanks, thanks!"

The three thanked him quickly and climbed into the truck bed.

. . .

. . .

In the old town of Leh, near the military base, Wang Hu, who had just escaped the pursuit of the Tiandu soldiers, was hiding behind the window of his second-floor hotel room, making a phone call while observing the situation outside.

"Boss, I've escaped!"

Hazard's voice came from the other end of the phone: "You've worked hard, Wang! Are the men injured?"

"No, I escaped from the base beforehand, but that guy from Sun Pharmaceuticals was killed on the spot!"

"That's not your fault, he just had bad luck," Hazard said calmly.

Wang Hu's expression was somewhat complicated.

If he hadn't arranged for someone to bribe the sentries at the military base beforehand, he would probably have become the target of the Tiandu military's wrath, just like that high-ranking official from Sun Pharmaceuticals.

"Boss, is it done?" Wang Hu asked in a low voice.

Hazard sighed: "My wife is luckier than you!"

Wang Hu remained silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Boss, should I go to Kai'er Province now?"

“No need, I’ve already sent a top-notch sniper.” Hazard paused for a moment. “My king, I need your help with something.”

"Boss, what do you say?"

“An hour from now, a Chinese man will come to Leh. He has a necklace on him. Please retrieve it for me.”
