Lin Yuefeng and his son Lin Guodong were so frightened that their bodies trembled.
Lin Guodong had never seen his father with such an expression before. In his mind, he had never thought that it was not just a matter of suffering a loss in the present, but that his father was also completely unable to solve the current predicament. He thought that his disaster would be over once his father arrived. Lin Guodong was even thinking of using all sorts of methods to deal with Zhou Xuan and Li Wei, the two people who beat him up whenever they saw him. He had to get revenge no matter what.
However, it seems that the idea of revenge has completely disappeared now; the priority is to save my life first.
The person who entered was naturally Li Lei, dressed in a dignified general's uniform. He sat down at the desk, first glancing at Lin Yuefeng and his son, then tapping his fingers lightly on the desk. The rhythmic tapping made Lin Yuefeng and his son Lin Guodong's hearts clench, but they dared not speak.
Li Lei remained silent for a long time, staring at Lin Yuefeng, making Lin Yuefeng feel uneasy and his body tremble.
"Hmph, Lin Yuefeng, is that right?" Li Lei paused for a moment, then hummed softly.
"Ah...yes, yes, I am Lin Yuefeng, I am...please tell me..." Lin Yuefeng paused for a moment before quickly replying.
"Enough with the nonsense," Li Lei wasn't a professional criminal investigator, but given his high position, he always spoke with an air of intimidation. Of course, he wasn't aware of it himself; he simply possessed an aura of authority that made people dare not resist.
"Lin Yuefeng, you know what you've done and what you've done, right? If you do, just tell me yourself so I don't have to go through all that trouble."
Lin Yuefeng paused, then shook his head and said, "I...I don't know what the commander is referring to, nor do I know what I've done wrong. Please...please give me a hint, commander."
Lin Yuefeng's words were clearly just an act. He knew perfectly well what he had done during his years in office. Although he himself dared not drive a nice car, wear nice clothes, or deposit the embezzled money he received in the bank, and had always acted in a relatively low-key manner, his son and wife were disappointing. They spent money like water, and in an extremely extravagant way, not at all low-key. His wife drove an imported BMW 5 Series worth more than 1.1 million yuan, and his son drove several cars. Just last month, he bought a Ferrari sports car worth more than 3 million yuan. To be honest, if it weren't for the strong backing of Deputy Secretary Liu, the previous report against him would have been in great danger and almost brought him down.
But Deputy Secretary Liu protected him and delivered all the whistleblower letters to him, allowing Lin Yuefeng to find the whistleblower. As a result, he was persecuted for a year. After that, fewer and fewer people made whistleblower reports. Everyone understands that you can't win a case and you'll suffer losses.
Faced with Lin Yuefeng's sophistry, Li Lei chuckled, pulled out his pistol, slammed it on the table, and said to Zheng Bing, "Drag Lin Guodong out and shoot him."
Zheng Bing knew that Li Lei was joking, but he had to keep up the act.
He immediately walked over to Lin Guodong, grabbed him, and said to Li Lei, "Please rest assured, sir, one bullet is enough."
Lin Guodong was terrified and cried out to his father, Lin Yuefeng, "Dad, save me! Save me!"
Lin Guodong was a complete fool, but Lin Yuefeng wasn't entirely stupid. Seeing Zheng Bing dragging Lin Guodong away, he stammered, "You... how could you... how could you just kill someone like that? You're not assassins or gangsters."
Li Lei chuckled coldly, "Hehehe, now you know how to kill people whenever you want. You're not a gangster, not an assassin or anything. When you beat that old lady, did you ever think about whether you were a gangster, whether you could just hit or kill whenever you wanted?"
Seeing his son struggling desperately against the threshold, refusing to go out with Zheng Bing, Lin Yuefeng pleaded in a trembling voice, "Sir, please spare my son."
Li Lei said coldly, "When your son hit the old lady, did he ever think about letting her go? She only dirtied your son's car a little, and then quickly grabbed something to wipe it clean. Why didn't your son intend to let her go? When you arrived, why didn't you wake up and repent? All you thought about was revenge and retaliation?"
Lin Yuefeng was stunned for a moment, wanting to say something but not saying it. That was indeed what he thought, but he never thought he would let the other person go. He had always been like this, always seeking revenge, let alone beating the other person's son to such a state.
But now the situation is different. Having arrived in this place, I'm afraid I'll be left with no one to turn to for help.
However, Lin Yuefeng still thought that Li Lei might just be threatening him and his son. After all, it was impossible for him to just shoot his son like that.
Neither he nor his son are military personnel. If they were, this officer-like man might have a say, but neither he nor his son are soldiers, so what does he have to do with the military?
Lin Yuefeng was indeed afraid. Although he knew that Li Lei would not actually shoot and kill them, he would definitely not have any problem torturing them. Lin Yuefeng was not a tough person by nature. As soon as he was subjected to hard methods, he would immediately be unable to bear it. If this were before the liberation, he would be a complete traitor.
Li Lei snorted and gave Zheng Bing a wink. Zheng Bing immediately released Lin Guodong's hand, then went outside and called two soldiers in. He pointed at Lin Yuefeng and his son and said, "Take them to the shooting practice room."
Two soldiers snapped to attention and saluted, then each picked up one of Lin Yuefeng and his son and carried them out like chicks.
Lin Yuefeng's heart pounded in his chest, while Lin Guodong was terrified, his ears ringing clearly from the words "shooting room."
That's a shooting range. Bringing the father and son there, even if we don't consider whether they're going to be executed, just to practice shooting, those bullets don't have eyes. If one of them gets hit, they'll be dead.
But they had no choice but to resist or speak out, and were not given the opportunity or right to speak at all. The two soldiers easily dragged the father and son into the shooting room.
This is a place in the novel *Just Come O* that is specially set up for military leaders to practice shooting. It is very different from the shooting range for soldiers. The shooting range for soldiers is spacious, while the shooting range for leaders is much smaller and the facilities are correspondingly more upscale. So, for convenience, the shooting range for leaders is usually set up indoors. It is smaller, but the facilities are better and more exquisite.
This is a basement, about six or seven hundred square meters, which is not small, but it looks small to Li Lei and other military leaders.
The two soldiers threw Lin Yuefeng and Lin Guodong to the ground, then stood on either side to await instructions from Li Lei and Zheng Bing.
Li Lei followed him into the shooting range. There, he pulled out his pistol, clicked the safety, aimed a few times, and then fired two shots. These two shots terrified Lin Yuefeng and his son.
After firing two shots, Li Lei glanced sideways at Lin Yuefeng and his son, gave a cold smile, and said, "Lin Yuefeng, you think I'm just trying to scare you? Heh heh, Zheng Bing, drag Lin Guodong to the target area."
Zheng Bing responded with a sound of agreement, then, without saying anything more, picked up Lin Guodong and dragged him to the target. Lin Guodong was so terrified that he soiled himself, emitting a foul stench. Enraged, Zheng Bing kicked Lin Guodong in the waist, cursing, "Useless coward!"
After throwing Lin Guodong to the target, Zheng Bing retreated. Li Lei handed Zheng Bing a pistol and said, "You take over, I'll rest for a bit."
Zheng Bing knew Li Lei's intentions. Zheng Bing was the best marksman in his special forces unit. Shooting at the 100-meter target indoors was like child's play for him. Li Lei's marksmanship was naturally no match for him.
Within a range of 100 meters, Zheng Bing could be accurate to within a few centimeters with a pistol, and even more accurate to one centimeter with a sniper rifle. However, the accuracy was limited to within 500 meters. Beyond that distance, his accuracy would decrease, and beyond 1,000 meters, Zheng Bing's confidence would drop significantly.
After throwing Lin Guodong to the target, Zheng Bing ignored him and retreated to where Li Lei, the two soldiers, and Lin Yuefeng were standing. From a distance, Lin Guodong could no longer hold back and burst into tears, crying out, "I don't want to die! I don't want to die! Let me go! I'll tell you everything! I'll tell you everything!"
Li Lei chuckled and said to Zheng Bing, "You should have said so earlier, Zheng Bing. Take Lin Guodong to the outer room and record his statement as soon as possible."
Zheng Bing received the order and left, then turned back to the target, putting Lin Yuefeng in the spotlight.
Lin Yuefeng tried to call out, but to no avail. He wanted to tell Lin Guodong to be firm and not say anything, so that he might still have a chance to survive. But he had no choice at this point. Two soldiers were watching him intently. He wouldn't say anything, and even the slightest movement would attract their attention.
Lin Yuefeng knew that if he and his son were separated, he could still hold his ground and not say anything, but his son Lin Guodong was a spineless coward. Of course, he himself was also a spineless coward, but he knew what was important. Naturally, he couldn't talk about this kind of thing, so he would try to tough it out no matter what, and maybe he could get through it.
If his son were to be intimidated and spill all the facts, revealing everything in detail, it would be clear that the money his son and wife had received was at his behest and under his direction, and that the amount was exceptionally large. That's why he was so worried.
Even if he could keep quiet, his son would speak up, and the two testimonies would be compared, which is why Lin Yuefeng understood the seriousness of the situation.
Lin Yuefeng knew his son well, needless to say. He had been spoiled since childhood, given whatever he wanted. Even a simple vaccination would cause him to cry and beg for mercy, let alone being subjected to more severe torture and forced confessions.
Li Lei originally wanted Zheng Bing to scare Lin Guodong and then extract a confession from him, but Lin Guodong was too cowardly. He was so scared that he didn't even need to be threatened with a gun. He just told whatever he was asked.
Li Lei watched as Zheng Bing was dragged out like a pig being slaughtered, and chuckled. Then he waved the pistol that Zheng Bing had handed back to him and said to Lin Yuefeng, "I know you want to hold on. Fine, I'll fire three shots at you. If you don't get hit by those three shots, consider yourself lucky. I'll send you out."
After saying this, Li Lei stared intently at Lin Yuefeng, whose face turned pale. Li Lei took a few steps back, then raised his pistol and aimed it at Lin Yuefeng, saying, "I'll shoot you now. If three shots don't work, I'll let you go. If you get hit, congratulations. If you get hit by these three bullets again, no matter what, I won't shoot again."
