She just sat quietly in the chair next to the conference table, without saying a word. She was in a terrible state, like an eggplant that had been hit by frost, completely lacking her usual energy.

However, Lin Beichen was not in a hurry. Everyone needs time to process things like this, let alone a young girl.

Her mother's misfortune left her depressed. She used to be able to proudly say that she was the boss's daughter, but now?

“Chen Lin, you need to understand that you are not fighting alone. I have told many people that we are a team. Although you are still under investigation, I believe that your superiors would never wrong an innocent person. Besides, if you cooperate actively, they will not doubt your loyalty.”

Chen Lin simply nodded slightly, but Lin Beichen saw hope in her expression.

"Remember, I am your support, and District Seven is your support too. Even if your mother is in prison, it doesn't matter, District Seven will always be your home."

Chen Lin finally began to pour out her heart.

Actually, I'm really sad!

Now I feel inferior. My mother did something that let the country down. What right do I have to lead the special forces?

Can I still be a captain? I don't feel qualified to be even a regular soldier!

As she spoke, Chen Lin burst into tears.

……

Lin Beichen listened quietly, knowing in his heart that this was the most important thing.

"Chen Lin, remember this: everything you do is for yourself, understand? Don't care what others think of you. They are them, and you are you."

"I know!"

Chen Lin was still crying. She was actually afraid, afraid of returning to the special forces and facing her former teammates, and she would feel guilty.

"You have no idea how I've gotten through these days, even though my comrades have been comforting me and saying it wasn't my fault!"

Lin Beichen listened attentively, knowing that if he couldn't resolve Chen Lin's mental state, the pressure on her would only increase.

"It seems there's no point in chatting with you here. Let's go, I'll take you somewhere, maybe you'll understand when we get there."

The two of them drove to a cemetery.

There is a huge wall here with many names engraved on it, and some prominent tombstones in front of it.

"Do you know what this place is? I believe that anyone who has been to District Seven would come here first to be immersed in its culture, right?"

Chen Lin listened and nodded.

"Now I'll tell you, one of the heroes here has parents who are both criminals, and one of them is a legendary drug lord."

"what?"

Chen Lin was taken aback when she heard this.

"Aren't people like that usually ineligible to join the army?"

"He was outstanding; he overcame all obstacles. But he sacrificed his life around your age. I'm telling you this not so that you have to make the same effort, understand?"

In fact, this soldier's story is very legendary. He was also an outstanding officer in the Seventh District, whose abilities even surpassed those of Lin Beichen.

When he was in power, everyone respected him wholeheartedly. Later, when it was learned that his father was a major drug lord, the officer was subjected to very strict scrutiny.

However, the officer did not become discouraged. Instead, he led his men on a mission to strike at the heart of the enemy's territory and met his father.

“Let me tell you, he was incredibly brave when facing his father, even to the point of sacrificing his own family for the greater good. However, he was ultimately shot and killed by his father.”

"what?"

Chen Lin was shocked to hear this; there were people like that.

"You understand now, right? Compared to that soldier, you are truly different."

Even if your mother has committed heinous crimes, she still cares about you very much. Don't forget, what parent in the world doesn't love their child, except for those who are utterly heartless?

Lin Beichen suddenly sighed.

"Besides, that's your mother."

"Honestly, I never dreamed I'd have a father like this. When I was little, I asked my mom more than once what kind of person my dad was, and she always said he died on the battlefield. I never imagined..."

Chen Lin still finds it hard to accept this fact. After all, she always thought her father was a hero. How could he suddenly become a villain?

She couldn't figure out what she had done wrong.

"I'm so disappointed! Everyone else has a happy family, why am I the daughter of a criminal? Why?!"

Chen Lin finally broke her silence and released all the pent-up frustration she had been holding in.

Lin Beichen watched Chen Lin quietly from the side. He knew that from now on, Chen Lin was finally willing to speak her mind.

As she spoke, Chen Lin began to cry, but this time, Lin Beichen did not intend to interrupt her.

"Cry! Cry your heart out, but you are a warrior. After you've cried, you must pull yourself together!"

……

After a while, Chen Lin gradually stopped crying and wiped away her tears.

"Alright! You've cried enough, Instructor. Tell me what to do next! You're right, I'm a soldier too!"

Chen Lin tried hard not to think about those troubling things; she knew she still had a mission to complete.

"Then let's go back to District Seven first!"

Lin Beichen took Chen Lin back to District Seven.

"Time is of the essence and the mission is arduous. You are now the captain of the women's special operations team. I'm only giving you three days to rest and recuperate. After three days, I hope to see a completely new you."

"Yes!"

Lin Beichen returned to his post.

However, it turned out that the reviewers would come back to inquire about Chen Lin's whereabouts.

Lin Beichen was somewhat displeased.

“I’m telling you, as long as Chen Lin is still in District Seven, and as long as the higher-ups don’t strip her of her qualifications, she will always be your captain, understand?”

After listening, everyone gradually understood that the instructor still firmly supported Chen Lin.

"What does it mean?"

The reviewers were somewhat confused.

"Actually, we were just following orders. You know, we all believe Chen Lin is an excellent soldier and officer, but this requires the final decision from higher command. We are just..."

"fine!"

Lin Beichen still intends to continue protecting Chen Lin.

"I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!"

……

The reviewers had no choice but to leave. However, the female special forces team was still somewhat frustrated because although their captain had returned, he was still unable to fulfill his duties, which made them feel very disappointed.

Seeing this situation, Lin Beichen walked to the entrance of the special forces dormitory, somewhat speechless, and directly assembled the team.

"I think you guys might not have figured out the situation yet. Put on your gear right now and do a 20-kilometer urban cross-country run. Let's start now."

"Yes!"

Lin Beichen personally led those female special forces members on the run this time.

Instantly, these women became a beautiful sight in the city.

Surprisingly, the destination turned out to be a restaurant, and there stood their team leader, Chen Lin.

"How is this going?"

Everyone was surprised.

"This is my arrangement. I want you to know that your captain is still here, and one day, she will lead you to victory on the battlefield once again!"

……

Chen Bin felt a special warmth as he watched the scene unfold before him. He was increasingly convinced that Lin Beichen's appearance would bring about new changes to the Seventh District and completely revitalize the lifeless district.

On the other hand, the team leaders are still working hard; their mission is not yet complete.

"Anyway, you definitely won't say a word, right?"

Seeing this, the captain grew increasingly angry. As the head of the criminal investigation team, he had tried various professional methods but failed to get the man to talk.

"Anyway, you'll definitely sentence me to death. I'll say it again, just shoot me. I don't care about anything else."

“You beast, you defiled someone and now you’re just going to abandon them? Let me tell you, your daughter is still serving in our army.”

……

Just then, Lin Beichen arrived. Since it was after dinner, he simply brought Chen Lin along as well.

I don't want to go in.

Chen Lin felt very displeased when she saw the criminals in front of her.

"No matter what, he is your father. To truly dispel your inner demons, you need the power of family love. Although I know he is an utterly wicked bastard, I still believe that even a tiger won't eat its cubs!"

And so, the door opened again, and Chen Lin appeared before everyone.

"You all go out first. I think it's time for the father and daughter to meet now."

After the door closed, the black cat burst into laughter.

"I never expected my daughter to be so pretty when she's not in her military uniform!"

You filthy scoundrel!

"How dare you talk to your father like that? Let me tell you, no matter what, I am still your father."

Chen Lin slammed her hand on the table.

"Are you worthy?"

This black cat has the complete air of being a dead pig that doesn't fear boiling water.

He didn't care at all about his daughter's insults, after all, there were just too many "daughters" like him.

"like?"

The black cat smirked.

"Do you think I'm stupid? You want to talk to me about love? In my eyes, what use are you girls besides being used? You're either my playthings in bed or tools to help me deal with trouble!"

Such an inhuman black cat shocked everyone present and shattered their worldview.

"However, you do have a very attractive figure. If we were at my base, we might even be able to have a child, don't you think?"

"You wouldn't even spare your own biological daughter?"

Everyone was shocked to hear this. They had never seen such a shameless and despicable beast who would not even spare his own daughter.

"Alright, I'll give you a heads-up. You're still my daughter, after all, so I can't let you come all this way for nothing, right? While you were all focused on me, a highly skilled squad has already quietly infiltrated your territory!"

The black cat smiled, still maintaining its arrogant and domineering demeanor.

"There's one more thing I forgot to tell you. Although I'm no longer alive, I still have a group of like-minded friends who have infiltrated your city. You want to hold a sports meet, right? Then keep searching! Our numbers will only increase, let's see if you can finish searching!"

The black cat's sinister smile completely enraged Chen Lin.

"Who is it?"

Chen Lin was no longer able to think.

"Do you think I would know? Don't you think about it? If something this big were all coordinated, and the news spread like wildfire, how could anything be done? Are you stupid? It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that I genuinely don't know. How could a lowly nobody like me possibly know about something so top-secret? You're hilarious! Don't you have an intelligence department? Go find out for yourselves!"

It turns out that they were all in contact through a single line, and they didn't know each other's identities, although they may have met once before.

The problem is that the black cat has nothing left to lose; wherever he goes, he's doomed. He feels he's already done everything he needed to do.

Chen Lin walked out of the interrogation room. This time, she was not only depressed, but her worldview had also been completely shaken. She really didn't expect this outcome.

"All right!"

Looking at Chen Lin in front of him, Lin Beichen felt a pang of heartache.

On the way back, Chen Lin remained silent, her mind preoccupied with what to do. Because until the case was resolved, she couldn't visit her mother in the hospital.

"Sigh! I'm an only child. My mom told me before that she was kicked out of her home. Every time I asked her what happened, she wouldn't say. Now I finally understand. My only two relatives in this world are my mom in prison and my dad, who is actually that kind of person."

"But you still have us, your comrades."

Lin Beichen knew that if this emotion continued to spread, it would not be good for Chen Lin's physical and mental health.

"Instructor, please rest assured, three days is enough for me! I have a basic understanding of your thoughts, and I will find a way to pull myself together. I know what kind of woman I am. Am I going to be defeated by this? That would be a joke."

Chen Lin was very confident; it wouldn't be so easy to defeat her. Although she wouldn't dare say she was an impeccable soldier, she was still a Chinese daughter with a strong sense of patriotism.

Regardless of what her mother did, she needs to do her best to protect the safety of the people and uphold the dignity of the city, because she has no other choice.

However, the most troubled person right now is the deputy captain of the criminal investigation team in the relevant department. The two of them have been sitting here for a day and a night, but they still can't find any breakthrough.

"Is this person really unwilling to utter a single word? I don't believe that someone of his rank would be unaware of the terrorist organization's deployment?"

Lin Beichen looked at the two captains who were frowning.

"He's acting like he's got nothing to lose, and we can't find any weakness in him. We've even contacted his daughter and Chen Lin, but it's no use. He's a complete bastard!"

The vice-captain was furious.

"To be honest, I'm now actually hoping for some kind of torture like in ancient times. Ugh! This guy's so stubborn! He won't say a word, and progress in other departments is very slow, basically stalled. The World Games are just around the corner, what are we going to do?!" (End of Chapter)
