Chapter 2086 - 2087: You’d Better Think That Way

No matter how tough you were before, once you open your mouth, nothing else has any meaning.

Betray once, it’s betrayal; betray everything, it’s still betrayal.

It’s like a thief. The first time stealing, they’re scared, nervous; the second time the same, but by the third and fourth time, it becomes routine.

Now that Bernie has opened his mouth, whatever Ye Xunhuan asks, Bernie will tell Ye Xunhuan.

However, Ye Xunhuan rarely asks, letting Bernie speak voluntarily.

Of course, Bernie could choose not to speak, but Ye Xunhuan might not be lenient.

One could say Bernie revealed everything under Ye Xunhuan’s torment.

"Commander, I was really forced. He took my wife and children hostage. If I didn’t do what he asked, my wife and kids would be killed!" Bernie said quickly, "Commander, my death means nothing, but my wife and children are innocent, they are innocent..."

The pepper spray was so irritating that Bernie couldn’t open his eyes. So Ye Xunhuan couldn’t see his surroundings as he spoke to Ye Xunhuan, eyes closed.

"Your wife and children are innocent, but is my wife deserving of it?" Ye Xunhuan said coldly.

Many people claim they are forced into doing certain things when something is held over them, hurting others in the process.

But aren’t the people they harm innocent too? Do they deserve to be hurt?

Though Bernie is somewhat sympathetic, he used the wrong approach, unfortunately.

"Commander, I know you won’t spare me, but I beg you, I beg for my wife and children..."

Ye Xunhuan glanced at Bernie and snorted, "If our positions were swapped, and I begged you, would you agree?"

Bernie fell silent!

Empathizing, if he were Ye Xunhuan, he probably wouldn’t agree either.

After all, aside from having no benefits, the crucial point is that Qiu Ruoxi’s kidnapping was all Bernie’s doing.

In such a situation, asking Ye Xunhuan to save Bernie’s wife and children is absurd!

Bernie instantly fell silent, like a wilted eggplant.

"Commander..."

"First tell me, where is my wife?" Ye Xunhuan interrupted Bernie, asking again.

Upon Ye Xunhuan’s inquiry, Bernie fell silent immediately.

How could he know Qiu Ruoxi’s location? He was just executing the plan, then controlled by Forsa, completely unaware of other details!

Seeing Bernie silent, Ye Xunhuan’s expression turned forbidding, sharp eyes flashing chillingly.

"Speak!" Ye Xunhuan asked quietly.

"Commander, I... I don’t know!" Bernie shivered and hurriedly said, "But Jim certainly knows, it was all his idea!"

Ye Xunhuan snorted then asked Bernie again, "What role does the Rothschild family play in this?"

Ye Xunhuan didn’t do anything to Bernie, but simply changed the topic!

......

Jim searched the bomb-struck abandoned factory for a moment and indeed found two underground tunnels.

Upon seeing the tunnels, Jim’s face immediately showed delight, genuinely happy.

Then Jim opened one and walked in.

Jim paid no heed to any possible danger below, or rather, Jim knew, for others it might be dangerous, but for him, there was no issue.

After all, he had a partnership with the previous occupants, didn’t he?

The tunnel entrance wasn’t narrow, nor wide; it could only fit one person and was stair-like.

Inside was pitch black, nothing visible, but fortunately, modern phones are advanced enough to serve as flashlights!

Descending the stairs, the surrounding space widened, still pitch dark, giving an eerie feeling due to being underground.

Jim shined his phone around, feeling the place seemed like a wartime air-raid shelter, making him wrinkle his brow.

He hadn’t heard of an air-raid shelter in Moscow!

Jim, head of the Soviets, was very familiar with Moscow’s modern history, knowing where those shelters were, but not here.

Jim’s heart was filled with countless questions; he could ensure the tunnel wasn’t dug by his partners, nor had they time for such work.

Thus, Jim concluded the tunnel existed long ago, but who dug it remains unknown, as does how extensive it is or where it leads!

Jim walked cautiously forward, careful and alert.

Although Jim believed danger was unlikely, he knew being cautious was wise, avoiding unexpected trouble.

Suddenly, a chilling laugh echoed in Jim’s ears, piercing.

Hearing the laugh, Jim’s expression changed as he quickly looked around.

"I know you’re not dead, you’re alive, come out and let’s talk..."

"Jim, you’re quite ruthless, bombing us with explosives. If I hadn’t reacted swiftly, we’d be nothing but bones now, right?"

A cold, resentful voice echoed around and reached Jim’s ears.

"I was forced too!" Jim immediately explained, "It was all the Commander’s idea; I didn’t want to do this, but you know, if I didn’t cooperate, given the Commander’s cautious nature, he’d suspect something..."

"Is that so?"

"Of course, I don’t need to lie about this, plus you and I are partners now; your death wouldn’t benefit me, instead cause numerous problems, even headaches." Jim took a deep breath and said, "Earlier, I wanted to notify you, but never found the chance as the Commander was always with me..."

The voice scoffed, "You better hope that’s what you’re thinking!"
