Chapter 469 It's Not Accidental
"You've done well." Zheng Yaoxian's voice was low and steady, as if unaffected by any external pressure. His eyes were as sharp as ever, but with a hint of depth. "I know you have doubts, but this road is not destined to be smooth."
Su Ming's doubts were rekindled. What did his master mean by these words? Did he know what he was going through, or was he deliberately avoiding the truth he wanted to know? He looked at Zheng Yaoxian, feeling a strong sense of unease and confusion. The tacit understanding between them had never needed words, but at this moment, he couldn't help but feel that everything had become blurred.
"Master," Su Ming finally spoke, lowering his voice, "The enemy has noticed our location, and the situation may become more complicated. I have already contacted their people and obtained some intelligence."
A hint of coldness flashed across Zheng Yaoxian's eyes. He nodded slightly, his expression remaining calm. Su Ming knew that his master had always been so composed, but he could sense the depth hidden behind it.
"I know," Zheng Yaoxian said calmly. "I know everything you've done. You should know how we're going to handle this battle."
Su Ming's heartbeat quickened, and he didn't answer immediately. He felt a tinge of unease, but Zheng Yaoxian's words seemed to bring him some kind of relief. "Master's judgment is always right," he silently consoled himself, yet his heart remained turbulent.
"What they want is the thing in my hand." Zheng Yaoxian suddenly spoke, his voice low and powerful. "And what I haven't told you is that this thing isn't just about a simple choice; it determines the direction of our future."
Su Ming was shocked. He hadn't expected his master to bring up that "thing." At that moment, Su Ming suddenly understood that Zheng Yaoxian's deep and reserved nature wasn't simply about a mission or a goal, but rather a more complex situation. Perhaps there was a deeper, unspoken meaning behind all of this.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Su Ming's voice was filled with a hint of anger, but more of a sense of helplessness. He had always believed that under Zheng Yaoxian's guidance, he could fearlessly overcome everything. But now, he suddenly felt that he had been kept in the dark, and all the mysteries had remained unsolved.
Zheng Yaoxian looked at him deeply, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "Because there are some things that you can't understand right now. Right now, the most important thing is that you know that the next step may determine everything."
"Aren't you afraid something might happen to me?" Su Ming said anxiously, his words tinged with complaint. "Master, you clearly know the current situation. I went to make contact with the enemy, and they've already discovered our traces. I can't turn back now."
Zheng Yaoxian didn't answer immediately, but instead looked at him silently, as if weighing something. Finally, he spoke, his voice still calm: "I never said you could escape. And you won't escape. Ultimately, all choices are up to you. Everyone's destiny is in their own hands."
These words silenced Su Ming. He knew Zheng Yaoxian wasn't asking him to give up anything, but rather to understand that he would have to personally walk every path forward, shouldering all the risks and challenges. This sudden sense of responsibility left Su Ming feeling an inexplicable heaviness in his heart.
"I understand." Su Ming finally lowered his head, took a deep breath, and made a decision. He knew that in the future, he would no longer be a bystander, but a true participant.
Zheng Yaoxian nodded and smiled slightly: "Then, let's go."
"Su Ming." A deep voice suddenly came from the darkness, carrying a bit of coercion and an unignorable coldness.
Su Ming stopped in his tracks, his shoulders trembling slightly. It was a familiar voice; there was no way he could mistake it. Zheng Yaoxian, the man who had always been by his side, yet who seemed to engender endless mysteries within him.
"You're here." Su Ming's tone was calm, as if he was welcoming a long-lost friend.
Zheng Yaoxian slowly emerged from the shadows, his black windbreaker fluttering in the night breeze, making him appear even more mysterious and profound. "Aren't you afraid of me?" He stopped in front of Su Ming and narrowed his eyes.
"What are you afraid of?" Su Ming replied coldly, his eyes firm. "I'm just a tool."
Zheng Yaoxian smiled softly, a hint of unfathomable meaning flashing in his eyes. "Do you know what you're talking about? A tool? Su Ming, you're wrong. You've never been a tool. You're the key to our turning this situation around."
Su Ming's heart suddenly tightened. The man before him always managed to easily stir his suspicions. Zheng Yaoxian had never directly stated his identity. The missions he led were always filled with endless danger and unpredictable complications. But every time, they managed to escape danger safely. Each time, he felt like he was being dragged into a maze, unable to find the exit, but forced to keep moving forward.
"If I am the key, then you are more like the one who controls everything." Su Ming said lightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Zheng Yaoxian didn't get angry. Instead, he nodded thoughtfully. "Yes. I'm in control of everything. But you're the one who changed the situation."
Su Ming didn't respond. He knew that every word Zheng Yaoxian said held a deeper meaning. On the surface, this man was the top commander in their organization, but behind him lay even more hidden secrets. Whenever they discussed strategy, Zheng Yaoxian always offered the most accurate judgment, yet he never betrayed his true intentions, quietly controlling the situation.
"Have you ever thought that all this is not accidental." Zheng Yaoxian suddenly changed the subject and looked at Su Ming steadily.
Su Ming frowned slightly. "What do you mean?"
"Why have you been able to accomplish so much? Why have you been able to survive time and again through perilous situations, while others fail at the first step?" Zheng Yaoxian said slowly, a complex look flashing in his eyes. "That's because you and we have a deeper connection."
Su Ming suddenly felt a surge of unease. This was a topic he had always wanted to avoid. He knew full well that his past was not so simple. Before being recruited, his life had been like that of an ordinary person, without much drama. But once he entered this organization, everything began to change, and even his memory became increasingly hazy.
