Never Trust Anyone

"Instructor, it's me, Lin Ye."

Lin Ye made his decision and immediately called his instructor Zhang Lihua's cell phone number. Even though he was a cadet at the military academy.

"Lin Ye, what's the matter?" Zhang Lihua was stunned for a moment after answering the call.

Why was his student calling him at this time to wish him a Happy New Year? That was unlikely.

Moreover, he had already received a text message on New Year's Eve, so there was no need to call at this time.

Zhang Lihua shook his head and dismissed the thought. After more than two years of interaction, he knew Lin Ye to a certain extent.

Lin Ye was usually quiet, but he was very serious and responsible in his work. He applied to join the field army during the summer vacation last year, stayed for two months, and even went to one of the scout companies for training. No matter what, compared to other students, this was already very good.

Current students, even those in military academies, were very few who could take the initiative to endure hardships and persist in hard work.

If he remembered correctly, the scout company commander at that time reported to his superiors that Lin Ye should join his unit after graduation. The headquarters of the division he was affiliated with at that time directly called the school and said they had reserved the student.

"Instructor, can you contact our principal, or give me our principal General Zhang Dezhen's contact information? I have something very important."

It might be sudden to say this, but... Lin Ye had no other way to explain his situation directly. He guaranteed that the other party would not believe him, even if it was his instructor. Could he tell his own situation? The fewer people who knew, the more secure it was.

"This…" Zhang Lihua hesitated a bit. He indeed had General Zhang Dezhen's contact information, but he couldn't do such a thing just because of one sentence from Lin Ye. Even if Lin Ye said it was important.

He did not know to what extent the important thing Lin Ye mentioned would reach.

"Is this something very important?" Zhang Lihua decided it was better to ask clearly. He knew Lin Ye was a student; he wouldn't joke around, and he wasn't the type to want to climb a big tree like General Zhang Dezhen.

Moreover, if he wanted to climb, the general had to accept him.

"This concerns national security and the future. So, I think General Zhang is more suitable. I can't trust anyone else." Lin Ye straightened his back and looked directly at the scene outside the window, his tone full of determination and seriousness.

At this moment, all he could think of was Zhang Dezhen, the principal of his military academy. As for others, he had not learned enough about them, so he could not fully trust them based on information from the Internet or information obtained after communicating with others.

"You... are not joking!" When a military academy cadet said such words, even Zhang Lihua became serious. No one would make such a joke in a sane state, especially since Lin Ye was still a military academy student.

"Of course, everything I say is true. As long as I meet General Zhang, I think everything will be understood."

"I understand. I will contact you right away. If I remember correctly, General Zhang is currently in Shanghai. You go to Shanghai first, then contact me. I will go with you."

Zhang Lihua naturally chose to spend time with his family during the winter holidays. He was just a teacher at the military academy, and there were still many holidays. Moreover, there was still a week before the students finished their holiday, so he only needed to go a few days in advance.

After all, this was about national security. Although he couldn't imagine what Lin Ye had discovered that made him make such a judgment and use such serious words, it couldn't be taken lightly.

He and his country couldn't afford to bear even the smallest consequences.

"Instructor, I'm in Shanghai now. If possible, I want to meet General Zhang as soon as possible."

There was no turning back now. Besides being pressed for time, Lin Ye also forced himself not to regret it as there was no going back. He was determined now, but he also worried about wavering in the future.

But if General Zhang Dezhen knew about it and reported it to the top leaders of the country, the matter would be resolved, and he would have no regrets.

He was only 19 years old. Although trained by the military and with a strong will, he was still far behind. It could only be said that he was more mature than his peers.

"I understand. Let's meet at xx in three hours. I will contact you later. Until then, protect yourself and avoid any accidents. Remember, I must come directly to you, and don't trust anyone else!"

Zhang Lihua suspected Lin Ye had discovered some important information targeted by foreign forces, so he was eager to report it. If an accident happened on the way, the situation would become serious.

Furthermore, phone calls risked being monitored. Someone would likely use his name to take Lin Ye away, so Zhang Lihua added this last sentence.

"I understand, instructor, I'll wait for you there."

Of course, Lin Ye understood the instructor's meaning. However, the matter was not serious enough to endanger his life, but in terms of importance, it was certainly more than a big chunk.

After packing his belongings and taking his ID card, Lin Ye grabbed his backpack and headed to the agreed place.

Yesterday, he was in the south. Being able to reach here in an instant was naturally due to his teleportation function. If the instructor said that General Zhang was no longer in Shanghai, then he would respond that he was in the city the instructor mentioned. As long as he determined the location, he could teleport directly there and would arrive in less than a second. It was much more convenient than flying or something similar. The only thing he needed to worry about was being accidentally discovered.

Of course, before going there, he investigated relatively hidden places in the city. If he did meet someone, it would still be very dangerous.

Previously, he once chose to go to a small alley in New York, USA. At that time, a man and a woman were being intimate.

Thinking about it, he was almost exposed. There are some things that state agencies cannot find if they want to investigate.

Therefore, after that, Lin Ye became more cautious and never went to a place again without thorough consideration.
