Chapter 292: Request, Scarface Identity
"Don't be nervous. I have no other intention in calling you here." Zhang Ye leaned back in his chair leisurely, turned his head slightly, and gave a subtle wink to the guard standing not far away from him.
The well-trained guard nodded in understanding, quickly took out a brand new check from his briefcase, and handed it to Zhang Ye respectfully.
Zhang Ye casually took the check, his eyes lingering on it for a moment before he extended it towards the scarred man across from him. He smiled and said, "This money is compensation for your deceased brother. Take it."
Hearing this, Scarface was stunned at first, then he slowly raised his head, his eyes fixed on the check that was so close to him and seemed to be emitting an alluring glow.
His Adam's apple rolled up and down unconsciously, and it was obvious that he was experiencing a fierce struggle in his heart, but his strong and powerful hands never stretched forward even an inch to catch the check.
On the contrary, he just stared at Zhang Ye, with his mouth slightly open as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he remained silent, and the stalemate lasted for a long time.
Seeing Scarface so hesitant, Zhang Ye couldn't help but feel curious and confused.
So, he raised his eyebrows, a hint of a smile on his lips, and asked softly, "What's the matter? Don't you think it's enough?"
"No, no, no, Marshal, that's not what I meant!" Scarface's face was filled with horror. He shook his head frantically and explained frantically, "I absolutely don't mean to ask for money. I just want to make a small request to you, Marshal!"
At this time, Scarface was so nervous that he began to stutter and could hardly speak a complete sentence.
I saw that his two hands had been clenched into fists at some point, and the joints had turned white because he was squeezing too hard.
His other hand tightly grasped the corner of his clothes, as if only this could slightly alleviate the fear and anxiety in his heart.
At the same time, his breathing was as rapid as a bellows, making a whistling sound and his chest heaving violently.
You know, Scarface and his brothers traveled all the way from the far northwest and went through untold hardships to get here.
They had a desire to stand out and achieve something earth-shaking, but they endured hardships along the way, sleeping in the open air.
Now I have finally met Zhang Ye, a famous figure. Such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is right in front of me. If I let it go, wouldn’t I regret it for the rest of my life?
So no matter what, even if they risk being punished or even beheaded, they have to give it a try and take a chance!
"Oh? Request?" Zhang Ye frowned slightly when he heard Scarface's words, with a hint of surprise and displeasure flashing in his eyes.
He never expected that this unattractive and timid guy would be so courageous as to make a request to him in front of everyone.
"tell me the story!"
"It's the Marshal!" Scarface's tense expression relaxed instantly, and a hint of joy emerged in his eyes that he couldn't suppress.
He knelt on his knees without hesitation, lowered his head, and began to quickly tell the brothers their true thoughts in their hearts with an extremely respectful attitude.
"Marshal, we brothers have come all the way from the northwest through untold hardships, just to follow you! We just want to follow you to do something earth-shaking!" Scarface's voice trembled slightly with excitement, and it was full of longing and expectation for the future.
"Don't worry, Commander! We brothers can endure any hardship. As long as we can follow you, even if it means just being an ordinary soldier, charging into battle and bravely killing the enemy, we are willing to do so without a single complaint!"
"Hehe..." Zhang Ye couldn't help laughing out loud, looking at the scarred face in front of him with interest, and a hint of playful smile unconsciously appeared in his eyes.
In the past two years, countless people have wanted to join the Independence Army, but there is a clear rule within the Independence Army that no external soldiers will be recruited at any time or place.
The reason for formulating such strict regulations is naturally due to sufficient and reasonable considerations.
First, doing so can ensure the discipline and stability of the entire army to the greatest extent.
After all, all the non-commissioned officers in the army now have been carefully trained through the system, and their loyalty to the organization is flawless, and there is absolutely no problem.
The second reason is for confidentiality reasons.
There are too many secrets hidden in the army. All kinds of advanced military equipment and jaw-dropping black technology achievements are exchanged through that mysterious system.
If we rashly recruit outsiders, it would not be easy to continue to keep these secrets hidden.
"Where are you from?" Looking at Scarface's face full of enthusiasm and expectation, Zhang Ye thought to himself and did not immediately show any resistance.
He decided to test the background of these people first and find out where they came from.
After hearing the question, the scarred man hurriedly replied: "To answer the question, Marshal, our hometown is Gelaozhuang, Fuli County in the southern part of Qin Province. We brothers grew up together as naked kids and have a very close relationship. When we were young, our family was poor and we had no way out, so we could only feed horses for the landlords, and occasionally we would do some long-term labor to earn some hard-earned money to make a living." As he spoke, the scarred man's face was full of flattering smiles, but he never dared to look directly at Zhang Ye, as if he was a little guilty and nervous.
However, these seemingly ordinary words did not escape Zhang Ye's keen observation.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze shot straight at Scarface like two sharp arrows, as if he wanted to see through the scars on his face to the secret hidden deep in the other's heart.
Suddenly, Zhang Ye raised his voice sharply, shouting, "Feeding horses and working as a farmhand? Humph, I think he committed a murder and escaped to avoid the limelight!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole scene suddenly became silent and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Scarface was so frightened by Zhang Ye's sudden questioning that his whole body trembled. His already unnatural smile froze on his face. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He was shocked inside and his face turned pale. He didn't know how to respond for a moment.
What Zhang Ye said was right. They had committed a murder and were forced to leave their hometown. They hoped that one day they could make a name for themselves and then return to regain their lost face.
However, what he didn't expect was that Zhang Ye could see through their hearts at a glance.
At this moment, Scarface was in a dilemma. If he admitted to the murder, he might have to pay with his own life.
It wouldn't matter if he was the only one to die, but he was afraid that his brothers would be punished as well.
But if he doesn't admit it, based on Zhang Ye's ability, anyone who is sent to investigate will probably be able to find out everything about him, and everything he did in the past will be exposed in an instant.
