He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

"It seems that your captain was punished for making a mistake and is afraid of being dismissed, so he is desperately suppressing outstanding members like you to reduce his risk of leaving the company."

The other party was also very secretive when revealing the truth, and immediately added at the end: "I found all of this out of the blue. If anyone asks, don't say that I told you."

After saying that, the other person immediately walked away, leaving Zhang Beixing standing there dumbfounded, unsure of what to do. It turned out that there was a reason why the captain had treated him this way—something Zhang Beixing had never imagined.

As a result, Zhang Beixing began to regret his actions. He regretted not speaking directly to the captain earlier, which had made him seem to have something to hide. Now it seemed that the captain was deliberately targeting him.

Despite Zhang Beixing's thoughts, he quickly realized that his teammates were probably also holding a grudge over this. If things really came to light with the captain, everyone would lose face.

Thinking of this, Zhang Beixing decided to communicate with his other three teammates again. After all, if he left alone to do the mission, the other three would probably know about it before he did.

So Zhang Beixing chose to tell his three teammates in the dormitory that night about his decision, which he had been thinking about all afternoon—to leave the guard team.

"I have something I'd like to ask you," Zhang Beixing said very carefully, afraid that one of the three of them might be completely unaware of what was going on, which would probably be embarrassing.

"Go ahead and say it." The other three teammates could probably guess what Zhang Beixing wanted to say, so they all followed his lead, "We've been here for so long, and we usually go on missions together. We've built a strong bond."

Seeing how enthusiastic the other three were, Zhang Beixing finally felt relieved. He then told his teammates everything he had heard from others.

"Just these past two days, our captain seems to have been in a bad mood. I initially thought it was because we hadn't done a good job, or that our whole team had done something inappropriate. I felt these were minor issues that we could all do our best to resolve."

"But I only found out the truth today after asking people from other teams. Our captain was recently punished and is afraid of being dismissed, so he is trying to protect his position by suppressing us."

After Zhang Beixing finished speaking, he observed the reactions of the other three people. Seeing their surprised or hesitant expressions, he already had a pretty good idea in mind.

"So that's how it is!" one of the team members exclaimed, as if he had discovered something incredible. He actually knew about it before, but he was somewhat skeptical. "Did you really hear that with your own ears?"

"That's really true, it can't be fake," Zhang Beixing replied. He wouldn't have said that if he wasn't absolutely certain. So Zhang Beixing began to think of a way to respond.

"Then I'll share my own thoughts." Zhang Beixing finally revealed his plans. "Today, I was unfairly penalized for a trivial matter, even though I wasn't late at all. Luckily, I argued my case and got my pay back."

"So in my opinion, we shouldn't continue working in the guard team. With our abilities, can't we find a better-paying job anywhere?" Zhang Beixing began to ask for everyone's opinions.

Zhang Beixing's words immediately resonated with the other three, so they decided to follow in his footsteps and leave this place together.

Subsequently, the other three expressed their opinions to Zhang Beixing: "We all think that leaving like this is the best thing to do. Since the captain wants to suppress us, we might as well leave on our own."

Having said that, Zhang Beixing naturally felt that he and they were a perfect match. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Why don't we pick a time to go and tell the organization directly, and just not notify the captain?"

These words were immediately agreed upon by everyone, and Zhang Beixing was relieved, preparing to get the matter settled the next day.

"Let's continue with our plans." Zhang Beixing wanted to make sure everything went perfectly, so he planned to meticulously outline all the details that needed attention throughout the process.

Immediately, everyone started discussing the topic initiated by Zhang Beixing. However, while they were discussing, they forgot to be wary of eavesdroppers, and one of the captain's trusted henchmen overheard them.

“After we leave, we’ll each go back to looking for work.” Zhang Beixing offered his thoughts at the opportune moment, wanting to encourage the others, “With our abilities, we’ll eventually find something to make a living.”

“Of course.” Zhang Beixing’s words were immediately echoed by another teammate. “Although we may not make a lot of money, we can certainly make a living. Why should we put up with other people’s bad temper here?”

However, the follower overheard all of Zhang Beixing's conversation with them and reported it all to the captain when he returned.

"I heard that Zhang Beixing, along with several other team members, wants to leave the guard team as soon as possible and go elsewhere to develop their careers." The henchman immediately told the captain what he had heard.

Upon hearing this news, the captain was both surprised and furious. Although he had long anticipated that Zhang Beixing would harbor resentment towards him, he hadn't expected Zhang Beixing to be so blatant.

From the very beginning, the captain was very reluctant to recruit Zhang Beixing into his team, but these things were not something he could decide on his own.

In fact, the captain could clearly sense that although Zhang Beixing was indeed capable, he also had many flaws. In short, he was not someone who could be bullied.

Thinking about this, the captain suddenly realized that all his previous precautions were correct. For a moment, he didn't know what to do, but one thing was certain: the captain would never allow Zhang Beixing to act arrogantly in front of him.

"How did Zhang Beixing know all this?" The captain seemed very curious as he asked, wondering just how capable Zhang Beixing was to be able to sense his thoughts.

This question stumped the follower for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he casually replied, "I'm not really sure about that either. I probably heard it from someone else."

"Okay, I understand." After understanding the whole story, the captain instructed his henchman to continue keeping an eye on Zhang Beixing, while he pondered how to eliminate him completely as soon as possible.

The next day, the captain finally came up with a plan. He intended to give Zhang Beixing a very difficult task, preferably one that he would never return from, so that he could both get rid of him and protect his own secret. With this in mind, the captain still pretended to be nonchalant and said to Zhang Beixing, "I was indeed too harsh yesterday. I'm really sorry. I apologize to you first."

Zhang Beixing naturally felt that the captain wouldn't be so polite to him for no reason, so he turned his head to the side, indicating that he didn't want to talk to the other person at all.

"So, Zhang Beixing, you are still my most trusted team member. I have a very important task for you to complete." The captain said this, but in his heart he was plotting how to kill Zhang Beixing.

"You five outstanding team members are going into the forest to complete the arduous task of capturing wild animals. This task is difficult but also crucial, and I assigned it to you because I trust you."

However, what the captain was thinking at that moment was that he would send Zhang Beixing and the others to catch wild animals, only to have them all eaten by the wild animals. He felt extremely happy thinking about this.

However, to maintain appearances, the captain still pretended to be quite regretful: "This mission is very difficult. I didn't want you to take the risk, but I can't make that decision."

After hearing the captain's words, Zhang Beixing naturally understood what he meant. Now that the captain's harassment was so obvious, Zhang Beixing had no way to refuse and could only say, "We will definitely complete the mission."

Zhang Beixing then left with the other four men. Concerned for their safety, he kindly reminded them, "The captain assigning us this kind of mission seems to be a one-way trip."

However, Zhang Beixing wasn't afraid. He firmly believed that he and his teammates would find a way to escape safely. With that in mind, he encouraged his teammates: "But everyone needs to be extra careful and try to come back safely."

Hearing Zhang Beixing's encouraging words, the others immediately perked up. The five of them got ready and headed into the forest, feeling as if they were in a completely enclosed space.

"Is everything really okay here?" one of the team members asked somewhat fearfully, his heart pounding with nervousness, though he managed to maintain a calm facade.

"How can you be so cowardly?" another team member teased with ill intent, though he secretly hoped that no one would get into any danger. "We haven't even encountered any wolves or tigers yet, and you're already scared."

"Everyone, stop talking." Zhang Beixing gestured for everyone to quiet down. "These jackals and tigers are likely lurking all around. If we wake them up, it won't end well."

Thinking of this, everyone immediately shut their mouths, no one daring to speak again, for fear of disturbing some ferocious beast, which would be difficult to deal with.

However, the five of them hadn't made it very far when a pack of wolves surrounded them. This was a real shock to them; they now had to break through the wolves to find a chance to escape.

"We're in a bind now," a teammate said, his voice trembling slightly. He didn't know what to do and could only ask Zhang Beixing, "What do we do?"

"Don't panic." Zhang Beixing gestured to everyone not to show any panic. "With the strength of the five of us, there's no need to be afraid of these wolves. We can just deal with them directly."

Under Zhang Beixing's command, the five men, with their agile movements, quickly killed the wolf pack's leader. Seeing their leader fall, the others' morale soared, and they immediately pressed their advantage.

And so, under the combined attack of the five, the remaining wolves were quickly brought to the brink of death. Zhang Beixing looked at the dead wolves, some thoughts forming in his mind, but he didn't voice them immediately, instead pondering them silently to himself.

First, the wolves came in aggressively, seemingly under someone's orders. Moreover, wolves are not typically social animals, so the appearance of so many at once seems very suspicious.

Secondly, these wolves were surprisingly vulnerable. Wild wolf packs are much more powerful and would not be as fragile as these.

However, Zhang Beixing only silently went through these thoughts in his mind and did not rush to say them directly.

Before long, another tiger menacingly approached Zhang Beixing and his group. Now they were truly caught between a rock and a hard place, and for a moment, they didn't know what to do.

"This time, we absolutely cannot let our guard down either," Zhang Beixing said, then stopped talking and gestured to his teammates to remain silent.

The five men exchanged glances, joined forces to subdue the tiger, and quickly skinned it as a trophy.

“It gets very cold in the forest at night,” Zhang Beixing explained to his teammates. “We’re peeling off this tiger skin to prepare for the cold at night.”

After explaining the situation to his teammates, Zhang Beixing decided to find a flat and safe place to rest. After all, they hadn't received any real missions yet, so they could only conserve their energy and wait for the right opportunity.

"According to the captain, our mission may be much more difficult than hunting tigers and wolves. There are many wild beasts in the forest. In any case, everyone must be careful and make sure we get back safely. We must not let our captain succeed."

Zhang Beixing spoke up again to remind his teammates about everyone's safety. He just wanted everyone to return safely and not let the captain's plan to eliminate everyone succeed. It was with this in mind that Zhang Beixing said these words.

Before they knew it, evening had fallen. Just then, the five finally obtained the specific information about the strange beast described in the mission, and the orders were clear: capture it alive. This made the mission seem even more challenging.

So, Zhang Beixing wanted to complete the task as soon as possible so that everyone else could go back earlier, so he took the initiative to discuss specific solutions with everyone.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Beixing slowly spoke up, tentatively asking, "Does anyone have any way to capture this strange beast alive, so that we can save our own lives and catch it smoothly?"

In fact, Zhang Beixing already had some ideas in mind, but he just wanted to hear his teammates' thoughts, which is why he asked such a question, wanting to see what they could say. (End of this chapter)
