Chapter 2088: Chapter 2088: The Tightly Guarded Central Defense Brigade

Walker remained silent for a long time before speaking.

“But this time, you contacted us first. Did you call me over just to tell me all this?”

Fang Jing remained quiet again, followed by a prolonged silence.

“Give me another billion, in US dollars!”

“There’s a saying in Huaxia: insatiable greed.”

“You need to understand, I’m gambling with my life.”

“Alright!”

Walker agreed, then picked up his phone and dialed Evans.

“Buddy, transfer another billion dollars to that card, and make it quick.”

After giving the instructions, Walker hung up the phone.

Less than five minutes later, Walker’s phone buzzed with a message. He turned to Fang Jing and said,

“It’s done. I’m not joking about this, so now you can speak.”

“I’ve managed to replicate the access card. It will get you inside.”

“What about the surveillance? That seems like a tricky problem.”

“I’ve come up with a way to deal with it, but you’ll only have thirty minutes. I’m not going to gamble my life on this and waste any more time than necessary.”

“I understand. If there’s nothing else, we should be ready to move in a few hours.”

“Is the plane ready?”

“Of course, the private jet is already at the airport. Once the mission is complete, you can leave anytime,” Walker said.

“And your husband and child are at the airport as well. If you need, I can have them board the plane to show my sincerity.”

“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re doing—you’re using them as hostages!”

“Ms. Fang, that’s beside the point. What really matters is that we successfully complete this cooperation. That’s more important than anything,” Walker said.

“And don’t project movie scenes onto our deal—I’m being sincere.”

“Get my husband and child on the plane first.”

“No problem.”

Walker picked up his phone again and made another call.

After that, the atmosphere in the car was filled with a tense silence.

It wasn’t until Fang Jing’s phone buzzed that she finally relaxed. It was a WeChat message from her husband, and she could finally let go of her anxiety.

“Let’s wait a bit longer. It’s still too early, not the right time to act.”

Fang Jing leaned her head against the car window, resting her hand under her head, and said nothing more.

“There’s a guy in the Central Guards Brigade—a very handsome man, quite skilled in combat. I assume you know who I’m talking about?” Walker asked.

“A handsome man?” Fang Jing murmured. “Are you talking about Team Leader Lin?”

“I’m not sure what position he holds in the Central Guards Brigade, but he’s very good-looking, young, and already at the latter stages of C-class. Especially his eyes—sharp like a hawk’s.”

“That would be Team Leader Lin,” Fang Jing confirmed.

“He’s the leader of Team 1 in the Central Guards Brigade and the most skilled of the four team leaders. But why are you asking about him?”

“We had some conflicts in Sunrise Land. He’s quite an interesting person, and I’d like to meet him,” Walker said.

“Do you know where he is?”

“Sorry, that’s not part of our deal. I’m not obligated to answer that.”

“I’ll give you an extra $2 million, personally. Just provide me with some leads on him.”Walker offered.

“You’ve already sold your soul, so why not go all the way?”

Fang Jing clenched her fists, caught in an internal struggle.

“He’s in Yanjing.”

“In Yanjing? Are you sure?” Walker asked excitedly.

“The Central Guards Brigade is currently holding a national recruitment event, but he seems to have other business, so he’s come to Yanjing.”

“In other words, he’ll be in Yanjing for the next few days, frequently in and out of the Central Guards Brigade, correct?”

“Yes.”

“That’s enough information.”

Fang Jing didn’t know too much about Lin Yi, but at this point, she understood that she had no way out.

She might as well get more money to secure a more comfortable future for herself.

Time passed like water, and a few hours later, it was already 1 a.m.

Fang Jing and Walker drove to a place called Wangjiagang.

It was located in the outskirts of Yanjing, home to dozens of families awaiting relocation due to demolition.

This was the closest place to the Central Guards Brigade where they could stay for an extended period without drawing suspicion.

Any closer or longer-lasting presence would raise red flags.

After parking the car, they both got out.

Using binoculars, Walker looked toward the Central Guards Brigade building and remarked,

“The lights are out. It looks like everyone’s gone.”

“That’s irrelevant,” Fang Jing said. “There are still people in the surveillance room.”

“We’ve come this far. What’s your plan?”

“I’ll enter the Central Guards Brigade using my own identity. You’ll need to hide in the car, and that’s how I’ll get you inside.”

Fang Jing pulled up a picture on her phone and pointed to a specific spot.

“This is the surveillance room. You’ll need to sneak in and take out the two guards as quickly as possible.”

“So this is the Central Guards Brigade? Doesn’t seem like much,” Walker shrugged.

“Don’t forget, you’re B-class and you’ve only gotten this far because of my help,” Fang Jing retorted.

“Even if you were A-class, you probably wouldn’t be able to make it past the gate.”

Walker chuckled and dropped the topic.

Fang Jing was right—the 360-degree surveillance cameras made it impossible for anyone to approach unnoticed.

“As long as I take out the surveillance guards, there shouldn’t be any problems, right?”

“No, there’s more,” Fang Jing continued.

“Once you’ve dealt with the two guards, you’ll be on your own. I’ve already told you the location of the archives. You can go inside and retrieve whatever documents you need.”

“You’re not coming with me?”

Walker didn’t want to take the risk of going solo and hoped Fang Jing would stay by his side.

“Relax, our fates are tied together. I won’t betray you now, especially since my husband and child are in your hands. I’m not in a position to backstab you.”

“Are you scared?”

“The Central Guards Brigade’s surveillance room has a strict rule: every five minutes, the alarm must be manually reset. If not, the system will automatically trigger an alarm, and everyone in the Central Guards Brigade will be alerted and arrive in no time,” Fang Jing explained.

“And outside, there are forty elite snipers on standby at all times. One shot is all it would take to turn you into minced meat.”

“Now that’s a well-guarded place.”

This time, Walker truly understood the formidable defenses of the Central Guards Brigade, and he felt a slight tinge of nervousness.

Even though he was already at B-class!
