1731: Controlled

Controlled

Han Rui worked in a special forces unit that nobody understood much about.2

Apart from his few close friends, Qiao Yanjue included, no one was aware of his involvement with the special forces, including his family. 

Han Rui's missions were extremely dangerous, and he kept them a secret from his family to prevent them from worrying.

This time, he only sought Qiao Yanjue's help because of the exceptional circumstances, but his family had zero clue about what was going on.

It was unfortunate, because his recent experiences had been full of ups and downs. 

He was assigned by the organization to go undercover in a drug cartel, but he was quickly exposed.

"Exposed?" Qiao Yanjue frowned. " Your identity was leaked?"

"Yes," Han Rui nodded, his expression cold. "It should be someone from our team."

Han Rui looked very upset and rather dejected when he talked about this. 

He never imagined that his own teammates would betray him. 

After all, their team was a special one, with few members and all of them elite. 

They all shared a close bond that could make them risk their lives for each other in times of danger.

Han Rui didn't initially suspect his teammates in the group. After all, they had all experienced so many perils together. 

Apart from his teammates, however, no one knew his true identity. 

His disguise was very convincing and had no loopholes. However, the other party knew his identity very clearly! 

"They discovered my identity, but luckily, I managed to escape at the last moment," he said. 

Despite that, he had a grave look on his face. 

"It's good enough that you came back safely," Qiao Yanjue nodded. 

He didn't have high expectations for Han Rui. He was simply grateful that his best friend had returned home in one piece.

What would happen afterward could be dealt with later. 

He wasn't a man with noble dreams, he just wanted his brothers to be safe. 

"Yeah," Han Rui nodded. "I'm back, safe and sound." 

As soon as he said that however, he frowned. His face became somewhat distorted, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. 

His unusual behavior shocked both Qiao Yanjue and Xia Xibei. 

"Han Rui!" Qiao Yanjue rushed over, extremely concerned. "Are you alright?" 

"I'm fine..." Han Rui denied, but at the same time grabbed his own collar and breathed heavily, as if he were a fish out of water. 

"You..." 

"I got it!" Xia Xibei interrupted Qiao Yanjue's concern, grabbed Han Rui's hand, the look on her face turning gloomy. "He's having withdrawal symptoms."

"What?!" Qiao Yanjue took a deep breath. "He's addicted to drugs?!" 

When did Han Rui get addicted to drugs?! 

Oh, right, he was undercover among drug traffickers. They would use drugs as a means of control, which was pretty common. 

Those people had no conscience and wouldn't care about such things. 

However, he had never imagined his best friend becoming addicted to drugs. 

This made his heart ache terribly for Han Rui. 

To complete the mission, he had subjected his body to such damage! 

Han Rui began reacting more and more intensely. Through gritted teeth, he said, "Tie me up..." 

When the addiction struck, it was often extremely excruciating. 

If he wasn't tied up, who knew what he would do? 

"Quickly..." 

He didn't even finish his sentence before Qiao Yanjue hit him on the back of the neck, causing him to black out. 

Seeing his best friend in such pain, Qiao Yanjue had a grim look on his face. He was giving off a dreadful air.
