Chapter 125: Nameless, Traitor

  For three whole days, Hao Gang did not give any orders to his subordinates. They all hid in their strongholds, and everyone was puzzled by Hao Gang's actions. However, since Hao Gang had been locking himself in his room for the past few days, nobody knew what he was doing, so they couldn't ask him about the doubts in their minds.

  While some people were eagerly waiting for Hao Gang to give the order to infiltrate the Golden Triangle, others began to feel a sense of anxiety, because such a Hao Gang was suspicious in the eyes of those who had ghosts in their hearts.

  Things are unpredictable, Yang Song and the others have been dragging on for three days. According to the original plan, they should have set out on the night Somore left, leaving a gap in time with Somore's early morning departure, giving them time to disguise themselves. All the work before the action could also be reconfirmed, if they really followed the procedure, it would not have been possible to delay for three days, and Hao Gang didn't even leave his room.

  This time, the message he sent to the organization has already been sent out, and now all that's left is to annihilate them all at once. Then he can return to the organization and continue to mix in this ghost place for many years, so many years that he can't even remember how long it's been. This place, just let them all go to hell.

  One by one, these guys who are completely devoid of ideas, they say their lives are for the greater good, dedicating themselves to the country, the people, and justice. But in his eyes, that's something only idiots do. Why should he give his life to the country? Have they ever given him anything? Everything is just a struggle, and the only way out is through the organization. If you have ability, you can climb high, no matter what your identity is, there's always a chance to stand out. Unlike in the Dragon Squad, where for a lifetime, you'll be unknown, no matter how many honors or medals you have, only those within will know about you. After death, it's just a pile of yellow earth, not even a tombstone, buried together with other Dragon Squad brothers who dedicated their lives to the country. Time will erase them, and they'll blend in with each other. Probably after a few years, there won't even be space for their graves anymore. New people will replace old ones, taking over the positions that were originally theirs. He can't imagine what those people are thinking, coming to do this kind of work.

  His elder brother's affair reminded him that even if he died, there would only be two ways to die: one would leave a stench for ten thousand years, and the other would make his name known for thousands of centuries.

  But it is obvious that the latter is impossible for him, so there is only the former. Such a result would not be in vain for him to come to this world.

  So he chose to betray the organization.

  If the other members of the Dragon Team or Yang Song saw this in the room, they would probably stare with wide eyes, because this was Su Mo who had already set out for three days. At this moment, she was sitting leisurely on a chair, slowly sipping plain boiled water, as if that plain boiled water was particularly delicious.

  The latter, Yang Song, was probably even more furious, as he had been sending messages to the organization all this time. Similarly, three days ago, Su Mo arrived at their organization and participated in the explanation of their entire plan. After that, he also sent a message to the organization. Now, after setting out three days ago, his daughter, who was being monitored by the organization, had inexplicably appeared here. He could only believe that Su Mo possessed the art of splitting his body.

  Not for anything else, but because he was too confident in his strength within the organization, so confident that he couldn't believe it at all, Su Mo, a young girl like her, actually had the ability to escape from being monitored.

  Su Mo's expression was calm, she had only returned here yesterday, and spent more than a day wandering around outside, setting up many illusions in various places, all to delay time, letting those people disperse and search for her figure everywhere. And then she fired a smoke bomb and retreated back to the original point, probably no one would have guessed this.

  After returning here, she saw Hao Gang sitting there with a dejected look on his face, looking dull and stupid.

  She knew it was definitely a traitor who had been caught, but he just couldn't believe it.

  Looking down at the documents on the long table in front of him, page by page, and some photos, everything shows that Yang Song's suspicion is the greatest. To say he is suspicious is still an understatement.

  Yes, as someone with a clear conscience, Su Mo couldn't believe that this traitor was actually one of the older members of their Dragon Team, who excelled in all aspects and had even risked his life to save a teammate years ago. He was usually the person that teammates trusted most to have their backs, but now the answer he got was that he was a traitor...

  "You say, how should this matter be handled?" Now that the action is imminent, if it's revealed that there's a traitor in the team, I'm afraid it will cause unrest among the members. On the eve of the mission, we can't afford to have any mistakes.

  He looked up at Hao Gang and said, "In your heart, you actually already have a plan, right?"

  Listening to this, Hao Gang's mouth curled up with a sarcastic smile. "Yes, I've already made up my mind, but I couldn't bring myself to do it. Although Yang Song is a traitor, he was also one of the brothers I valued more." But that plan was too despicable.

  Since he chose this path, he knew that there was no longer a way back. His front and rear were already filled with thorns, and after the thorns came the cliff.

  "Haven't you ever wondered what reason he had for betraying the Dragon Group?" Su Mo Ruo's expression was calm and her tone was even.

  "...Yang Song, although he has betrayed us now, I can say with absolute certainty that he will never be a person who yields for the sake of money." Years of interaction and understanding had given Hao Gang an unshakeable conviction.

  Su Mo nodded in agreement, but then suddenly changed the subject, "What about other things? Is he not after money, women or fame? These are all possibilities."

  His eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if he wanted to grasp something, but it quickly ran away from Hao Gang's mind, too fast, letting him unable to catch what had just flashed through his mind.

  "Actually, think about it, has anything big happened before that led to Yang Song's change?" In her previous life as Mu Qing, she still remembered that Yang Song was a good person, with the care of his brother, although his personality was a bit dull, but he was still a relatively obedient and sensible person, and he was very polite to the team members, especially respectful to her and Hao Gang. This change must have occurred later, which Su Mo Ruo can be absolutely sure of.

  Hao listened to the simple words, fell silent, and began to analyze slowly. Su Mo's analysis was not impossible, and in recent years, a major event had occurred - the death of his sister Mu Qing. Mu Qing's death caused the team to be depressed for a long time, and even several teammates who were close to her couldn't bear it and left Long Zu to find a quiet place to heal their wounds.

  Slowly, the things that had just flown out of his mind returned to his brain, causing Hao Gang's body to tremble, his eyes wide with incredulity as he blurted out, "For power?"

  He will never forget the day his sister died, because she had a relatively high status in the team and was highly capable. When she died, there was a memorial service held for her within the Dragon Squad, but it was only limited to internal members. On that day, he knew that many people felt a strong sense of injustice in their hearts.

  Although they are paid by the state, this salary is absolutely not high. They do things for the country with such a salary, and life and death seem to be ordinary and unremarkable. When they die, they will not leave any mark in this world. Being wrapped in horse leather after death is an ordinary thing for them, let alone having a tombstone for people to identify their identity.

  Because most of them are orphans, just like Mu Qing; at that time, he also saw Yang Song shed tears and knew that Yang Song had always admired his sister Mu Qing. The death of his sister made many team members who never cried before cry, and he did not rule out the possibility that it was normal outside, but later Yang Song's whispered complaint was accidentally heard by him, and at that time, he remembered scolding Yang Song, while Yang Song's attitude was very good, without refuting, just nodding to indicate that he understood and promised not to say it again.

  Those words, he can still say them today. Yang Song said, "If I cannot be famous for a thousand years, then I will be infamous for ten thousand years. I absolutely will not pass through this world without making a sound."

  "Do you remember?" Looking at Hao Gang's appearance, Su Mo Ruo had already guessed the outcome.

  "I know that among the people who do this kind of work, there are hardly any who are truly righteous in their hearts. Some have entered this line of work and have no way out; they are orphans with no possibility of truly leaving. And some from wealthy and powerful families, those who left in recent years, were only able to do so because of family reasons and had the opportunity to leave the Dragon Group. The rest of them, their daily task is to receive missions, execute missions, complete missions, and then return; otherwise, it's to heroically sacrifice themselves for the mission. To die advancing is glorious, but to retreat one step is to be a traitor, with a stain on their reputation that can never be washed away. Both have one thing in common: death. So they have no choice, their pent-up frustration has nowhere to vent, and over time, the original frustration in their hearts will also change, and when they get the chance, some will make crazy moves..."

  Hao Gang's voice sounded somewhat mournful. In fact, Mu Qing's death had made him see many things clearly. He was an orphan with no parents, and it was his adoptive father who had raised him single-handedly. His younger sister Mu Qing, despite being just a girl of barely twenty years old, had been able to sacrifice herself for the country. So he couldn't retreat any further. As for others, they didn't have any compelling reason to make sacrifices for the country.

  "For this job, they each have their own thoughts in mind that you must correct, otherwise it will be completely unfavorable for future task execution. This time, your handling must be low-key, and you must do it without being noticed. Although this approach is dark, she believes that Hao Gang can do a good job. Having executed so many tasks, including undercover or assassination, Hao Gang has done them all before, so these things are not difficult to do at all."

  But it's just a different object, so when doing this thing, mental quality must be strong.

  "I know, I'll take care of this matter." Hao Gang's voice was somewhat low and depressed, but in that depression, there was a strong determination, as if he had already made up his mind.

  He got up and walked over to one side, poured a glass of water for Hao Gang and put it on the desk where he was sitting. "Drink some water, you haven't eaten much in the past three days."

  "I've lost my appetite." Being with Su Mo Ruo, he always felt a sense of stability in his heart, as if Mu Qing was still by his side. He didn't say much, but he could clear his mind and make the most correct decisions when it mattered.

  Listening to this, Su Mo also didn't comment, shrugged his shoulders and sat back down in the chair. "Yang Song's matter can be settled by detaining him first, while the plan behind it should be changed. It would be best if we could come up with a new plan when you go to apprehend Yang Song, so that we can set off early. The Golden Triangle side is starting to suspect me, and our efforts here are becoming more urgent."

  "I know, you must be exhausted for the past three days too. Take a good rest, there are still many things that will need your help later." He had been watching Su Mo Ruo do everything over the past three days and was impressed by her physical strength, just like them. But thinking about the plans ahead, Su Mo Ruo was a crucial figure, so he reminded her to take a good rest.

  "I know." The betrayal of his teammate should have left Hao Gang both physically and mentally exhausted.

  But he believed he could handle it well.

  As expected, Yang Song had already let Hao Gang take off that night, and Su Mo Ruo was unclear about the specific details of how he took it off.

  Hao Gang was anxious again overnight, and the people below held a meeting to inform everyone of the new plan. However, the only one who didn't show up was Su Mo Ruo, although he had already returned to the base. As a result, no one knew what the central task of the real plan was, and the identity of the scout had changed.

  This approach is also for prevention.
