"Let me go! Let me go!"
"Stop struggling, I can't drag you anymore."
John's struggles weakened, and he angrily said to Gao Guang with a flushed face and a thick neck, "I told you, this heartless bastard deceived you. How can you be so foolish?"
Gao Guang pushed open the glass door with his back and thought that he should change it to an automatic door in the future. After he pulled John in with great effort, he gasped and said to Danny, "I can only drag him back because he doesn't listen to me. Say what you want to say quickly, I can't keep dragging him."
Danny didn't have his usual smirk on his face this time because he knew how someone would react when they were angry and embarrassed. He just coldly glanced at John and said sternly, "I know who killed Cherry."
John immediately stopped pretending. He stopped struggling and didn't vent his anger towards Gao Guang anymore. Instead, he looked at Danny with a surprised expression, motionless.
Danny coldly said, "Do you still want revenge?"
John took a deep breath and then said to Danny, "Revenge is meaningless. We are both private military contractors, sometimes even mercenaries. We earn a living by selling our lives. It's normal for someone to die and someone to survive."
Danny nodded and said, "That's right. I often say that. You remember it very well, that's good."
John suddenly became angry because he realized that he couldn't control Danny. He was trapped by Danny.
Danny looked at his watch and then said, "Come to my office, no, let's talk in the office."
Danny turned and walked away, and Gao Guang nudged the dazed John and said, "Are you coming?"
John whispered, "Since we're here, how can we leave? I knew it would be like this."
Dragging their heavy steps, John and Gao Guang walked into Gao Guang's office.
Danny was already sitting in the boss chair. He pointed to the guest sofa and said, "Sit."
John obediently sat down, and Danny picked up a ballpoint pen, his face serious. He said, "It's been a few years since we last met, right?"
"It's been a long time."
Danny remained serious and said, "Why have you been avoiding me?"
John was surprised and said, "Avoiding you? It's you who has been avoiding me! I'm afraid I'll blow your head off if I see you. How about you? Aren't you afraid?"
"Hehe." Danny laughed confidently and said coldly, "Now tell me, do you want to avenge Cherry?"
John hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "It's been so long since then, revenge... well, I want revenge. Tell me."
"You're not pretending anymore?"
John looked dejected and said, "No more pretending. There's no point in pretending. You knew what I wanted to do when I came in, and you insisted on letting me in. I also knew what you wanted to do. What's the point of pretending? Just say it."
This time, Danny was the one who couldn't respond. So he finally put down the pen and said, "I ordered to give up the rescue mission that time, but you have to understand that I only had fifty people at that time. If I went to rescue you, there would be no other outcome but total annihilation."
John waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about that. If we start from the beginning, there's nothing to say. Just tell me who set the trap for us and who killed Cherry."
"We fell into a trap set by our peers. The boss of Armored International was very angry about our rise, so after they lost the bid to us, they found Patrov. Patrov was responsible for ambushing us, and you know the rest."
John fell silent for a moment and said, "We fell into the ambush, and without you, so don't say 'we'."
Scratching his head, John said helplessly, "I'm just a small role who sells my life. I don't know what the boss of Armored International was thinking, and I don't know who Patrov is. You said I can take revenge, but I have no money, no people. How can I take revenge? In the end, I was just being used by you, being your free thug, and in the end, you solved your business competition while I ended up dead."
John was truly awake. After he finished speaking slowly, he said to Danny, "How many people have died around me in these years? If I have to avenge all of them, can I handle it?"
Danny scratched his chin a few times and said, "I didn't say you have to avenge others. I'm talking about Cherry, Caps. Why do you hate me? It's because of Cherry, right?"
Gao Guang couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Who is Cherry?"
John calmly said, "A comrade."
Danny, on the other hand, said seriously, "Not just any comrade, but Caps' girlfriend."
John suddenly froze, staring at Danny, while Danny looked helpless and said, "Alright, Frank hates me because I didn't rescue him, so most of his brothers died. But you, how long have you been with Frank? You hate me because Cherry died."
"No, you're talking nonsense. I didn't, it's not true, how do you know?"
John seemed flustered, but Danny said in a low voice, "You should ask who doesn't know. Do you think everyone is blind? Everyone knows that you and Cherry were a couple. Only you think that no one knows."
John stood up, looking somewhat panicked. Gao Guang said, "What are you afraid of? If they know, so what?"
"No, I need to go out for a moment. I need to calm down."
John ran out as if he was escaping, and Gao Guang looked at Danny and couldn't help asking, "What's going on?"
"Oh, thinking it was a secret, trying so hard to hide it for many years, but in the end, finding out that your secret wasn't really a secret. Of course, you would feel shocked and ashamed. It's okay, he probably guessed it a long time ago, but he just couldn't accept the shame of being exposed. He'll be fine soon."
Gao Guang's curiosity was ignited, and he leaned closer to Danny and whispered, "What's the story between Caps and Cherry?"
Danny scratched his head and whispered, "Cherry joined the battlefield half a year before Caps. We generally don't accept women because they are really troublesome, but there was no choice. Cherry was really talented and didn't ask for much money. She was no different from the men, so we took her in. Then Caps also joined the battlefield, and then... it became an office romance. We had a battlefield romance, but you should know that any PMC company or mercenary group strictly prohibits so-called couples from appearing in the team, whether they are same-sex or opposite-sex."
Gao Guang nodded and said, "Love does indeed cause trouble. Go on."
Danny whispered, "There's nothing more to say. Caps was crazy about Cherry, and Cherry... probably liked Caps too. Then they got together, and in the end... Cherry died tragically."
Gao Guang turned to look, but John didn't appear, so he hesitated and said, "I know I shouldn't ask, but I'm really curious. You said Cherry was no different from a man... um..."
"I know what you want to ask. Cherry was 1.8 meters tall, weighed 180 pounds, had a round face, a little bit of a beard, and had arms as thick as your legs. She was an assault specialist and an explosives expert. Do you know how rare explosives experts are? Well, anyway, Cherry was a very outstanding assault specialist. As for why Caps liked her, I think you better ask Caps."
After saying that, Danny suddenly said, "Wait, I think you better not ask."
Gao Guang couldn't agree more and nodded, "It's better not to ask about such a heartbreaking matter. Oh, I understand now. You killed his lover, so he hates you."
Danny furrowed his brow and said, "Get it clear. I didn't kill them, I just didn't rescue them."
"I understand, I understand. It's just business..."
Both of them fell silent, and Danny suddenly looked at his watch and said, "Give him ten minutes at most. When it's time, go and call him back. I can't wait for him to cry forever."
After about ten minutes, John came back. He had a calm expression, but his eyes were red.
Sitting back on the sofa, John made a gesture to Danny and said, "Now you can tell me who Patrov is."
"Patrov is a Chechen, a mercenary. He created a powerful mercenary group. He was the one who attacked us in Iraq."
John let out a sigh and said, "So you want me to take care of him for you?"
Danny shook his head and said, "I never do meaningless revenge."
"I know, but you don't mind telling me all this. You brought me here because you can use me. I know that."
"No, no, you're wrong. I want you to help National Defense, not do things for Warfire Group."
"What do you mean?"
"Yeah, what do you mean?"

John couldn't figure it out, and Gao Guang was even more confused because he didn't know how this matter was related to him.
Danny said with a serious face, "Patrov has done well these years because he is the black glove of Armored International. But Patrov is never satisfied, so he takes on some private jobs. Renato wants to swallow Glayev's industry and has killed Glayev's only son. Glayev is desperate for revenge, but he can't do it with his own manpower alone. So Glayev found Patrov."
Danny clapped his hands lightly and smiled, "Only Patrov has the ability, courage, and enough cannon fodder to create such a big scene in Beverly Hills."
Gao Guang was stunned. He mentally counted how Danny hit multiple targets with one arrow, while John was a little confused and said, "It's complicated."
Danny looked at Gao Guang, and Gao Guang had a sudden realization. These past few days, he had been flattering the big boss and forgot that he was also a boss himself.
Danny looked at John and said, "You know what I want. Although I don't like meaningless revenge, I don't mind getting revenge without any cost. So as long as you can use those cannon fodders to expose Patrov, and then expose Armored International through Patrov, we will all be happy. How about it?"
Gao Guang calculated that Danny was selling a favor to his old friend and letting him be a free thug, and at the same time, taking care of Patrov. It was killing two birds with one stone. No, plus the profit from Renato, it was killing four birds with one stone. And if they could really bring down Armored International, it would be killing five birds, and the biggest one at that.
John thought for a moment, then sighed lightly and said, "I knew I would be used by you. I just knew it."
Danny disdainfully said, "I'm proud to have the value of being used. If you think being used is shameful, then you are a loser and deserve to be a poor loser for the rest of your life. By the way, a mad dog has more value being used than you, but he is happy to have that value and will find a way to achieve a win-win situation. That's why he is a smart person. As for you, Caps, you are just a naive child, really, you wasted your life at your age."
John wasn't angry either. He just looked helpless and said, "It's always like this. I knew it would be like this. I say one sentence and you can say ten. The key is that I still think what you said makes sense."
After saying that with a sense of emotion, John waved his hand weakly and said, "Don't need to provoke me anymore, I won't be provoked by you anymore. Now I firmly believe that nothing you say can be trusted, Danny, just tell me your plan directly."
