Unrivaled Soldier in the City-Chapter 336 No Clue

"Uncle Zhang, have you found any leads in your recent investigation?" Lin Kuang asked, looking at Zhang Guodong.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Guodong shook his head helplessly. "No. Okamoto Daisuke didn't say anything before he was assassinated. You have to understand, the military region is very secure, and the basement is an intricate maze. If we didn't have a mole, there's no way the enemy could have found him! That's why I suspect we have a mole feeding them information. If we can find that mole, we might get some new leads." Zhang Guodong added with a frown, "I refuse to believe we don't have a mole."

Lin Kuang's expression shifted, and he nodded. "That's possible. However, Uncle Zhang, have you considered this? We ran into the Meng father and son at the hotel, along with Shi Yushan. The very next day, there was an attempt on your life. I'm wondering if Okamoto Daisuke might have some connection to Shi Yushan and the Mengs."

Zhang Guodong nodded with a smile. "Yes, I've thought of that too. I've already assigned people to secretly follow Meng Hao and Shi Yushan, but so far, no information has come back."

"Oh, I see." Lin Kuang fell into deep thought. If those two weren't involved, he couldn't think of any other suspects.

"What do you plan to do about Li Rongzu and his men?" Lin Kuang asked, turning his gaze back to Zhang Guodong.

"Ignore them. They can do whatever they want, as long as they don't bother me," Zhang Guodong replied, his expression souring at the mention of Li Rongzu's name.

Lin Kuang nodded silently, his mind already racing through the possible suspects.

Suddenly, a name came to mind. "By the way, Uncle Zhang, what about Cui Hongyu, the former Lei Ying member? What's he up to these days?"

Zhang Guodong froze. "You suspect he's the one who leaked the military secrets?"

"Well, it's just a suspicion, of course. I can't say for sure," Lin Kuang said. "But he struck me as the type to seek revenge over the smallest slight. I think we should look into him."

"Alright. You've reminded me of something I'd forgotten." Zhang Guodong turned to an aide. "Liang Kai, arrange for someone to look into Cui Hongyu's information. Be careful. The kid may be crippled, but he's a former Lei Ying member. His tracking and counter-tracking skills are sharp."

Liang Kai nodded and turned to leave.

"Wait," Zhang Guodong called out just as Liang Kai turned around. "Have Song Tao take two men instead. I don't trust anyone else with this."

Hearing this, Liang Kai nodded again and left.

"I hope we find something," Lin Kuang murmured.

"Let's hope so," Zhang Guodong said, smiling at Lin Kuang. "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you for a few more days. You'll probably need to stay here a bit longer."

Lin Kuang nodded. "Alright, I'll stay."

"Good. Come and stay at my place tonight. It can be inconvenient for you to move around the military region, after all," Zhang Guodong said with a smile.

Lin Kuang readily agreed.

Meanwhile, Li Rongzu, Qian Zhou, and four others were gathered in their guesthouse. The atmosphere in the room was oppressive. Everyone wore a foul expression, especially Li Rongzu, whose face was so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.

"Captain, they've gone too far!" Qian Zhou finally broke the silence.

Technically, Li Rongzu held the rank of Major General, but as the leader of their special operations squad, his men addressed him as "Captain."

Li Rongzu didn't speak, but his expression grew even grimmer. The others remained silent, their gazes fixed on him, waiting for him to speak.

After a moment, Li Rongzu finally looked up at them. "Let's set that aside for now. Our top priority is to find the person who targeted Zhang Guodong. Our second objective is to undermine his authority. Of course, you all need to stay vigilant. If you discover anything, we can frame Zhang Guodong for it. Understood?" he said coolly, a cunning glint in his eyes.

The other five men nodded, all understanding his meaning.

"Captain, what about Lin Kuang?" another man asked.

"Forget about him for now. Lin Kuang isn't easy to deal with. He has the Lin Family of Yanjing backing him. The Lin Family's old bastard refuses to die, and if we mess with his precious grandson, that old geezer will fight us to the death. That wouldn't be good for anyone," Li Rongzu said. "Of course, if we manage to find some 'evidence' of his crimes, he'll have to be taken away too. Understand?"

The men nodded, understanding his true meaning. He intended to frame them—both Zhang Guodong and Lin Kuang.

"Alright, all of you, go. Keep a close watch on their movements and report back to me immediately," Li Rongzu ordered.

"Yes, Captain," the five men answered before filing out of the room. Qian Zhou limped as he walked, cutting a rather comical figure.

Meanwhile, Lin Kuang accompanied Zhang Guodong on a tour of the East Sea Military Region, observing the soldiers' daily training. Everything seemed calm.

After lunch, Lin Kuang chatted casually with Zhang Guodong, as if they had both forgotten all about the Okamoto Daisuke incident. The day passed peacefully.

In the afternoon, Lin Kuang left the military region with Zhang Guodong, and they drove toward Zhang Guodong's home.

On the way, Lin Kuang found a moment to send a text to Liu Shilin and Yang Ruoxi, letting them know he wouldn't be back for a few days. He also told Liu Shilin that someone would be coming to protect them at night so they shouldn't worry. After that, he sent another text to Zhang Lianmei, giving her Lin Guo'er's address and asking her to send people for protection.

Zhang Lianmei immediately agreed and complied. She dispatched the twelve men who had previously stormed Chen Jiachong's stronghold with Lin Kuang. Along with them, she sent Guo Delun, one of her most capable subordinates. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Less than half an hour later, the car carrying Lin Kuang and Zhang Guodong arrived at Zhang Guodong's home.

The place wasn't particularly extravagant; it was housing allocated by his superiors. The residence was a villa on a neatly managed estate, giving it a rather ordinary appearance.

"Come on in, Lin Kuang. My home is a bit humble, I hope you don't mind," Zhang Guodong said with a smile as they got out of the car.

Lin Kuang smiled and shook his head. "Uncle Zhang, you're being too modest. This place is much nicer than where I live."
