358 Between betrayal and death, I choose death.
Alice was deeply shocked by these words. She wasn't a true member of Hydra, so she didn't know much about their affairs. Brother Dao wasn't stupid either; he knew what should and shouldn't be said, even though Alice was now his wife.
After all, knowing too much could be harmful, and Hydra's rules were strict. Only those who could keep their mouths shut lived longer.
Even so, Alice could tell from Brother Dao's words that Hydra had grand ambitions!
"Mm-hmm, I'll remember. Don't worry, I'll take care of things at home. When you get there, make sure to take more people with you. I don't want the little one in my belly to lose a father before being born."
As she spoke, she gently stroked her belly with a tender expression. Although her belly didn't show the pregnancy yet since it was still early, she could feel it.
Just as Brother Dao finished giving his instructions, Mo Ruxian came jogging in from outside.
He said with an urgent expression, "Brother Dao, has something happened?"
Brother Dao looked at his panting state and glanced over, signaling him to sit down and talk.
Seeing that the two had matters to discuss, Alice greeted Mo Ruxian and sensibly turned to leave the hall.
Once Mo Ruxian was seated, Brother Dao spoke slowly, "Xiao Hei, have you finished arranging things at your branch?"
Although Mo Ruxian still didn't know what was going on, he nodded and replied, "Don't worry, Brother Dao, everything was settled before I came. Brother Dao, did something happen? Are we... on the run?"
"Did you do something to wrong the organization, Brother Dao? Not that I'm lecturing you, but you're being foolish. As the Hydra leader in Myanmar, don't you know how terrifying the organization is?"
"If we offend the organization, there won't be a place for us in the entire world."
Seeing his urgent and disappointed look, Brother Dao couldn't help but laugh. Good grief, you really have a wild imagination.
Even if Brother Dao were to die, he would never betray the organization. As a leader, he knew more than those below him; Hydra was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
An underworld organization? Was it really just that?
Just as Mo Ruxian said, if he offended Hydra, there would be no place for him in the whole world. So, if he had to choose between betraying Hydra and death, he would rather die!
Because that way, he might still be able to save his entire clan; otherwise... everyone related to him would die.
He could clearly distinguish which was more important, but Mo Ruxian's performance satisfied him.
"Xiao Hei, don't get excited yet. Let me ask you, if one day I really did betray the organization and you were the first to find out, what would you do?"
To his surprise, Mo Ruxian didn't even think before saying, "I would report it to the higher-ups immediately. Because I know that whether I report it or not, you would have no chance of surviving, and the organization would find out soon anyway."
"By then, you and everyone related to you would die. Of course, that includes me. When I joined the organization, you already told me, Brother Dao, that whether a superior or a subordinate betrays the organization, everyone in the entire branch is implicated."
"Since you'd have no chance of surviving, there's no point in me hiding it. On the contrary, reporting it might prevent more people from being implicated."
"Although doing this would be disloyal to you—after all, I only have my current position because you supported me—you wouldn't want me to be a disloyal person, would you, Brother Dao?"
However, to Mo Ruxian's surprise, Brother Dao burst into laughter upon hearing his answer. "Hahahaha, excellent! I really didn't misjudge you. You're doing the right thing. No one who betrays the organization lives."
"Doing this might actually save you. But this scenario won't happen. It didn't in the past, it isn't now, and it won't in the future."
"Alright, enough of that. Weren't you curious about why I called you over?"
"News came from the Southeast Asia headquarters recently, telling me to set off for headquarters immediately. We'll be going to Africa with Leader John. He gave me a slot, meaning I can bring one person along. Now do you understand why I called you?"
Hearing this, Mo Ruxian was shocked. Going to Africa? And with Leader John?
This meant there probably wasn't a branch in Africa yet. What was this? To him, it was a piece of untouched cheese.
After realizing this, he looked at Brother Dao with a face full of gratitude. He wanted to say many words of thanks, but in the end, they only turned into four words: "Thank you, Brother Dao!"
Seeing this, Brother Dao smiled and waved his hand. "Heh~ there's no need for formalities between us. Just remember what you said earlier."
Mo Ruxian scratched his head in confusion. "Huh? What I said earlier? What was it?"
"About the betrayal. But don't worry, I won't give you the chance. Alright, get ready; we're leaving immediately."
Wang Shaojun was unaware of George's actions. He never intervened in the development of the major organizations, as they were all professionals... At 8:00 PM in Hengdian!
Wang Shaojun held Ye Lingxi, giving her a massage while scrolling through TikTok. It was winter break now, and countless Female Streamers were appearing on TikTok.
Most were small streamers with fewer than a hundred viewers in their rooms. Though the numbers were small, there were quite a few small gifts.
"Mmm~ Husband, press a little lighter. Why don't we go rest? We have to film tomorrow, early to bed and early to rise."
Hearing this, Wang Shaojun looked down with a half-smile. "Are you sure resting early is for filming tomorrow? Your husband is innocent; don't lie to me."
Seeing her intentions exposed, Ye Lingxi gave him a flirtatious roll of her eyes, feeling extremely shy. "You're annoying~ I'm ignoring you."
She left his embrace and ran toward Ye Lingxue, not forgetting to complain, "Sister, Husband is bullying me. Let's bully him together, okay? We'll catch him, lock him in the room, and then... hehe!"
When Ye Lingxi reached her side, Ye Lingxue unexpectedly flicked her forehead and said crossly, "What are you thinking about all day? What, you've forgotten the pain once the wound healed?"
Hearing this, Ye Lingxi's expression changed. She instinctively covered her bottom, shuddering as she waved her hands. "No... no! Haha, I was just joking. Sister, how about we sleep in our own rooms later? Husband is quite tired too."
"I don't know if Husband is tired, but your mouth is certainly stubborn."
Seeing the half-smile on her face, Ye Lingxi tilted her head at a forty-five-degree angle and snorted, clearly not wanting to respond.
