"Lin Siming originally planned to aim for the assessment in the latter half of next year, with a chance to enter our War God Corps."
After Yang Fei finished speaking, he paused slightly, glancing at Ling Feng's expression.
He saw no trace of emotion on Ling Feng's face.
This made Yang Fei shake his head inwardly.
Yang Fei himself had personally sent Lin Siming to the army back then.
To be honest, back then, Yang Fei would have wanted to slap that good-for-nothing to death if he looked at him too much.
Yet, in just four years, Lin Siming had undergone a complete transformation, even qualifying to enter the War God Corps. This earned Yang Fei's admiration.
It was a great pity for Yang Fei that such a talent, such a fine soldier, was now ruined!
Ling Feng, upon learning of Lin Siming's current excellence, felt no happiness. He only felt that his past decision was correct, but he hadn't been able to take good care of this Lin Siming who had worked so hard to change!
He was filled with guilt!
"Have you found out why he escaped?"
Ling Feng used the word "escaped," and that single word was enough to indicate the nature of the matter.
Indeed, Lin Siming was a deserter, but Ling Feng did not yet know the true reason for his actions from yesterday until now.
That was why he had only explained to Lin Siqi that Lin Siming had retired due to some special circumstances, as Ling Feng himself did not know the real reason!
Yang Fei nodded. "We've found out. We found some communication records of Lin Siming, and it can be confirmed that Lin Siming had a girlfriend. They had already agreed that if Lin Siming didn't have a chance to join the War God Corps next spring, he would go back and marry her first. However, it seems something happened to this girlfriend..."
"What do you mean 'seems'? I want to hear all the details!" Ling Feng reprimanded coldly. He knew Yang Fei too well.
Ling Feng could naturally detect anything Yang Fei concealed or any vague statements he made.
Yang Fei shivered all over and quickly nodded repeatedly at Ling Feng. "Yes, Lin Siming's girlfriend is named Zhang Xiao. She's a local from Hanjiang City. Her family is well-off; her father is the director of the Reconstruction Department's office, and her mother is a teacher. Initially, Zhang Xiao's family had some objections to their relationship, but later, after learning about Lin Siming's situation in the war zone, they became more satisfied with the matter."
"Lin Siming also visited her parents during his two days of leave last year, and they had agreed on marriage for next year. However, according to the communication records, three weeks ago, Zhang Xiao broke up with Lin Siming. Lin Siming sensed that it wasn't Zhang Xiao's handwriting, so he wrote back to ask if there was any family situation. But he didn't receive a reply later."
"Then, two days ago, Lin Siming couldn't hold back any longer and escaped from the training camp. He returned to Hanjiang, and then... he discovered that Zhang Xiao was dead, having been violated to death. Lin Siming has strong counter-reconnaissance awareness, and it took him two days until last night to pinpoint his location."
"In these two days, Lin Siming killed a total of twelve people!"
As Yang Fei said this, his voice had already become somewhat grim.
Ling Feng's eyes also narrowed slightly.
In this era of martial artists, human lives were even more precious. The law of paying for murder with one's life was very common.
Therefore, Lin Siming's consecutive killing of twelve people at this time was indeed a very serious matter, and it would be difficult to save Lin Siming's life!
However, Ling Feng believed that there must have been a reason for this.
If it were just heartbreak, Lin Siming wouldn't have killed anyone.
But Yang Fei had mentioned earlier that Lin Siming's girlfriend was dead, and moreover, she had been violated to death!
The term "violated to death" was used rather vaguely by Yang Fei, but Ling Feng had already realized that this matter was not that simple.
To have such a spirited man kill twelve people in succession meant that none of these twelve people deserved to live!
Seeing Ling Feng's somber expression, Yang Fei, who had remained silent, took a deep breath and continued, "Seven of these twelve people were involved in the act of violating Zhang Xiao. There were a total of nine people involved, meaning two are still alive."
Ling Feng's eyes narrowed slightly.
A total of nine people violated a woman to death!
And two were still alive?
Regardless of whether Lin Siming could escape this ordeal, Ling Feng would not let the remaining two live.
"Do these two living individuals have complicated backgrounds?"
Ling Feng asked coldly.
Yang Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Ling Feng had finally spoken, otherwise, the atmosphere here would have been so tense it would have suffocated Yang Fei!
Yang Fei then nodded to Ling Feng. "Yes, one of them is the son of a director of the Hanjiang All-People Martial Arts Association, and the other is the daughter of a local wealthy businessman!"
"Daughter?! Another woman?"
Ling Feng's voice became even more sinister. The ugliness of human nature could sometimes exceed one's imagination!
Yang Fei nodded. "Yes, there is also a woman!"
Ling Feng closed his eyes, clearly controlling his emotions, and then said coldly, "You said twelve people died. Besides these seven, who else?"
"The other five people were the two bodyguards of that director's son, a bank manager, and... Zhang Xiao's parents!"
Yang Fei finally revealed the identities of the others.
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng's eyes suddenly widened. "You said Zhang Xiao's parents were also involved? Does this matter also involve Zhang Xiao's parents?"
Yang Fei shook his head. "Time was of the essence, and we didn't investigate the detailed circumstances too thoroughly. However, what we do know is that Zhang Xiao's parents' bank accounts received thirty million yuan before this, and they became shareholders of a company."
"Sold their daughter for money?!"
Ling Feng's gaze became even more chilling. This was the only explanation he could think of for this matter!
"Where are they now?"
Ling Feng asked coldly, not waiting for Yang Fei to say anything more.
At the same time, he had already put on his clothes, looking ready to depart at any moment.
Yang Fei quickly assumed a ready stance. "The person is currently in Luofeng Mountain, the only S-class monster gathering place within the Hanjiang City safety zone. For two days, almost everyone in the city has been looking for him. He probably couldn't kill the other two, and with the pursuit of so many troops, he came to Luofeng Mountain to prepare for guerrilla warfare!"
Ling Feng nodded.
He still knew how to adjust his combat strategy and evade everyone's pursuit, which showed that Lin Siming had not completely lost his sanity.
He still had the will to live.
This was inevitable. Ling Feng could imagine why Lin Siming was so stubbornly holding on to life.
He still had two people he needed to kill. Before these two died, Lin Siming would not give up!
Seeing Ling Feng nod, Yang Fei added, "The Wolf Fang Corps only dispatched one person, who is Lin Siming's squad leader, but also the current chief instructor of the Wolf Fang Corps, and a retired member of our War God Corps! According to the rules of the Wolf Fang Corps, he will personally deal with Lin Siming. If you want to save Lin Siming now, Heavenly Venerable, please give the order!"
