After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life-Chapter 961 - 947: The People Seeking Qin Zhan
On this side of Beijing, Qin Zhan, who had also put away his phone, wore a gloomy expression. His phoenix eyes were cold and fierce, his sword-like eyebrows slightly raised, and his thin lips were pressed together. He slowly turned around to look at Old Sir Qin and another middle-aged man in military uniform who had entered his study without his permission.
Old Sir Qin, seeing Qin Zhan’s demeanor, knew his actions weren’t well-received and cleared his throat lightly. "A Zhan, were you talking to Little Nine on the phone? It’s so late, you’re not going to sleep yet?"
Qin Zhan glanced indifferently at Old Sir Qin, then looked at the clock on the wall. It was exactly ten o’clock. He put the phone into his pocket, ignored the person next to Old Sir Qin, and said coldly, "You’re right, I am going to sleep. You both should return to where you came from."
Old Sir Qin looked embarrassed and glanced at the middle-aged man beside him, who also seemed displeased. After a pause, he said reluctantly, "A Zhan, there’s something I think we still need to discuss, after all..."
"There’s nothing to discuss, I need to rest. Please leave," Qin Zhan said, turning to walk out of the study. He paused and suddenly turned back to look at Old Sir Qin, his phoenix eyes flashing a cold warning, "Old man, this is the second time you’ve made a decision without consulting me."
The first time was Qin Zhongyang, the second... was this man.
With a cold expression and a chilly voice, he continued, "Next time, do not step into my house, or else I don’t know what I might do."
"Qin Zhan."
The middle-aged man finally spoke, raising his hand to stop Old Sir Qin from saying anything further. He took a deep breath, looked at Qin Zhan, and tried to suppress his inner frustration, speaking in what he considered a very amicable tone, "A Zhan, we haven’t seen each other for a long time, let’s talk."
Qin Zhan didn’t respond, just looked indifferently at the middle-aged man, his eyes devoid of any emotion, only coldness and disdain.
"A Zhan, Buqun also has something to ask you, and I think it’s quite serious. That’s why I brought him to see you," Old Sir Qin sighed, "If you’re unwilling, that’s fine, but at least hear him out." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Chen Buqun, clad in his military uniform, looked at the young man opposite him, who was younger and more outstanding than him. He recalled when the young man was still an unruly kid, wearing his uniform carelessly, carrying a rogue-like air typical of military brats, but with an indifference that drove away the female soldiers who initially admired him.
It was this kind of lad who, with his teammates, completed mission after mission that others couldn’t accomplish. But it was also this lad who evoked both admiration and resentment from the majority in their ranks.
Chen Buqun was over ten years older than Qin Zhan, only slightly younger than Qin Zhongyang. He was good friends with Qin Zhongyang, so he was aware of Qin Zhan’s suppression of him. Seeing Qin Zhongyang’s difficult life these years, always hiding in his little teahouse, never returning to the unit, and only visiting the old mansion when Qin Zhan was absent, he couldn’t claim not to blame Qin Zhan.
But it was precisely because of what Qin Zhongyang had done back then that Chen Buqun ultimately chose to turn a blind eye, only helping Qin Zhongyang when necessary.
So when it came to Qin Zhan, Chen Buqun couldn’t decide if he admired him or was just disappointed in him.
"A Zhan, the situation is quite severe this time, and we truly have no one else to turn to, so we came to you for help. Your abilities are top-notch in the country, even unmatched internationally."
"I’m sure you’re aware of our current situation, with intruders from outside. We have no means of dealing with them, and we’re scrambling to research methods to counter them. But before then, we hope you can assist us."
As he spoke, Chen Buqun made a promise, "If you agree, I will immediately contact the other side for troop gathering and select the most elite personnel for you."
"The most elite personnel?"
Qin Zhan finally spoke, letting out a cold laugh. He slowly turned to look at Chen Buqun, his thin lips slowly parting, "The Junmen has been completely destroyed, with only two survivors remaining. I’m sorry, I, Qin Zhan, do not possess the abilities you’ve described, to help someone who would push blame onto others when something goes wrong! All of you!"
