22: Chapter 22 Rejecting the Military Region Boss

The live stream chat was instantly stunned.

"Holy crap!? What trouble did this guy get into now?! Listening to that tone, it sounds like Lin Heng did something unforgivable?"

"I don't know. Could it be that the matter with the international war criminal was discovered?"

"Don't talk nonsense upstairs. The Longan Bureau has already made a conclusion; it's not Lin Heng's fault. It should be for other reasons."

"..."

The live stream room was also filled with speculation.

However, none of them knew the specific reason.

Faced with a siege of heavily armed soldiers, Su Xueer naturally began to worry about Lin Heng.

"Lin Heng, is everything alright?"

She naturally didn't know what Lin Heng had done and probably couldn't say anything here.

However, Su Xueer was still willing to believe that Lin Heng was definitely a good person.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to step up and help stop the Murderer they encountered on the road.

Hearing this, Lin Heng replied with a calm tone.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

But it depended on what the other party intended.

He looked utterly composed.

He always maintained a light and breezy demeanor, no matter the situation.

If you haven't done anything wrong, you don't fear ghosts knocking on your door.

If your character is upright, you don't fear your shadow being crooked.

Lin Heng believed that everything he had done was just ordinary, normal stuff, and he hadn't done anything harmful to national interests or social stability.

Seeing Lin Heng's calm appearance, the Military Big Shot's eyes lit up.

Truly a talent worth nurturing!

He quickly made up his mind and waved his hand to the others.

The group immediately put away their guns.

Then, the Military Big Shot spoke very politely: "Lin Heng, our Dragon Capital Military Region has something we'd like to invite you over for. Please come with us for a moment."

This...

The live stream chat was still somewhat bewildered.

"So polite? Seriously? Could it be that they fancy Lin Heng's combat techniques and want to invite him to help command battles?"

"Are you dreaming? Where around Dragon Country can a fight break out now? The places where fighting happens are backward regions like Africa."

"But we can't trust it completely. These big shots are all smiling tigers; maybe something bad is going to happen."

"The person upstairs must be crazy! How can you say something like that?"

"I solemnly declare here that I am merely observing and have not expressed any opinion. All events are unrelated to me."

"..."

While people in the live stream chat were buzzing with discussion, Lin Heng was already being escorted into a military jeep.

"Apologies, but we'll need you to cooperate with this."

A soldier held out a black hood, gave Lin Heng a polite smile, and quickly placed it over his head.

Lin Heng didn't have time to reply before the hood was on.

Su Xueer wanted to follow and see, but she was rejected by the military personnel.

After all, Military Regions are restricted areas and generally not open to outsiders.

Thus, Su Xueer could only worry for Lin Heng.

Soon after Lin Heng was placed in the jeep, the group quickly departed.

In just a few seconds, they vanished in front of the police station.

The people in the live stream chat quickly invoked protective charms, stating they had nothing to do with this matter, fearing they might be implicated.

However, they all knew that the law does not punish the masses, so they should be safe.

...

The camera switched scenes.

Lin Heng was taken into the Military Region.

A nearby soldier removed the hood from Lin Heng, and a green military restricted zone appeared in his vision.

The jeep accelerated, and Lin Heng soon arrived in front of a base.

He entered a room.

The Military Big Shot was already waiting there.

The person waved his hand lightly, and those who had escorted Lin Heng quickly left.

It seemed they weren't worried at all about the Military Big Shot being alone with Lin Heng.

Lin Heng glanced at the person before him, and his heart stirred slightly.

The other party had already changed into a military uniform.

On his shoulders, the three shining gold stars on the insignia looked as bright as the sun.

Lin Heng raised an eyebrow slightly upon seeing this.

A Three-Star General??

Good heavens!

This was the first time he had ever met someone of this rank.

However, Lin Heng was slightly shocked, not understanding why such a person would summon him.

Logically, he hadn't committed any illegal or criminal acts.

At this moment, the Military Big Shot smiled and spoke: "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Lin Zhengbei, a General of the Northern United Zone, a Three-Star General."

Tsk tsk...

Lin Heng initially thought the person was just a director of the Dragon Capital Military Region, but he turned out to be from the Northern United Zone...

Essentially, a General of the small North...

Lin Heng let out a wry smile, "General Lin, may I ask why you summoned me? If there's nothing else, I still have to go to my part-time job."

Part-time job?

Lin Zhengbei was stunned for a moment.

He had been invited to this place, yet he was still thinking about that University Student's part-time job!

He felt a mix of amusement and exasperation.

He coughed lightly, and Lin Zhengbei's tone became serious.

"I brought you here not for anything else, but because I value your potential. You are still young, a talent worth nurturing!"

"Your performance in Dragon Country and internationally has not escaped our notice. To be honest, this is the first time I've met a talent like you. If you join our military, rest assured, sooner or later you will reach my position!"

"In the future, perhaps another General Lin will emerge!"

Lin Zhengbei's assessment of Lin Heng was extremely high!

For someone without power or connections to reach the rank of General, the difficulty was self-evident.

However, Lin Zhengbei saying this showed how highly he valued Lin Heng.

Hearing this, Lin Heng understood the other party's intentions.

Lin Heng's first thought was... surveillance?

But upon reflection, the other party was a Military Region after all; investigating someone was reasonable.

Facing Lin Zhengbei's olive branch, Lin Heng slightly shook his head.

"I'm sorry, but I am more interested in the trade aspect. As for joining the military... I sincerely apologize."

This...

Lin Zhengbei's expression became somewhat troubled.

He hadn't expected that even with such terms offered, the other party remained unmoved!

As such, Lin Zhengbei knew there was little point in continuing like this.

He finally let out a wry laugh.

"That is truly a pity. If you had joined our army, with your talent and ability, perhaps you could have reached my position before the age of fifty."

"But since that is your request, I have no choice. I will ultimately respect your wishes."

Lin Zhengbei knew that forcing someone was impossible.

Especially for a genius, it was absolutely out of the question.

Doing so would only backfire.

It might even bring them greater harm.

Seeing this, Lin Heng nodded slightly.

"Then when will you send me back?"

"I still have a part-time job to do."

Hearing this, Lin Zhengbei almost couldn't suppress a laugh.

But he quickly became serious.

"Before that, I need to ask you one question."

"You must tell the truth!"
