Chapter 394 Su Ming quickly dives into the depths of the cabin
However, no matter how he recalled, all the clues seemed to be shrouded in a fog, preventing him from seeing the truth.
"Perhaps we need to investigate all internal contacts again." Shen Ling interrupted his thoughts, "to see if there have been any suspicious personnel transfers recently."
"Yes." Su Ming nodded. "We must ensure that the intelligence we bring back this time will not be leaked again, otherwise all our efforts will be wasted."
"Who do you think the traitor is?" Shen Ling asked, her tone inquiring.
"It's hard to say right now." Su Ming frowned. "But he must be someone we trust, otherwise he wouldn't know so much about our plan of action." He lowered his head, a cold glint in his eyes. "Once I find out, I will show no mercy."
Shen Ling took a deep breath and nodded emphatically. She knew that their enemies were not only lurking in the shadows, but had likely already infiltrated their ranks. This battle was far more complex than they had imagined, and the slightest misstep could lead to irreparable destruction.
As the night deepened, Su Ming and Shen Ling knew in their hearts that they were in the midst of an invisible war, and the only thing they could rely on was their mutual trust and tacit understanding. In this dark sea, they were like two lone wolves, quietly awaiting the arrival of dawn while secretly plotting their next counterattack.
The night at sea was deep, the stars dim and shimmering, only the occasional whistle of a passing seagull shattering the silence of the ship. Su Ming leaned against the wooden wall of the cabin, gently twirling the dagger in his hand. A cold light danced on his fingertips, reminiscent of the complex thoughts he was currently swirling. Whenever he fell into such a state of deep thought, his surroundings seemed to fade away. He was sorting through the clues in his mind, sorting out all the suspicious points one by one, hoping to find the traitor lurking in the shadows.
The dim light from the cabin shone on Shen Ling's face. She bit her lower lip, her gaze flicking to Su Ming from time to time, wondering: What kind of person is this man? No matter what danger he faces, he always calmly finds a way out. And with each mission, she seems to have grown increasingly reliant on his judgment. But she knows that in the world of espionage, any emotion can be a fatal flaw. She urged herself to remain rational, yet she couldn't suppress the subtle surge of emotion.
"If we can't find the traitor as soon as possible, every step forward will be difficult." Su Ming broke the silence. His low voice was like a ghost floating from the sea, and it was impossible to hear his emotions.
"What are you going to do?" Shen Ling asked, her tone tinged with anticipation, but more with helplessness. She understood that Su Ming always made the right decision in the most dangerous moments, but she also knew the immense psychological pressure behind such a desperate move.
"I plan to test him." A cold light flashed in Su Ming's eyes. "If he's hiding deep enough, we can only do the opposite and lure him out with false information."
"Isn't this too risky?" Shen Ling frowned, feeling somewhat hesitant about Su Ming's plan. After all, if this method failed, they would be in even greater danger.
Su Ming didn't answer immediately, but smiled faintly. "We don't have much choice anymore. Instead of passively taking a beating, it's better to take the initiative." His eyes were determined, and his voice was low and firm. "It's like playing chess. Sometimes, you sacrifice a few pieces to lure your opponent into a trap."
Shen Ling listened to his analysis with a quiet admiration. Although she had been in the intelligence world for many years, she knew she was far inferior to Su Ming in scheming and strategy. However, the failure of this mission had made her question herself, even doubting her own judgment. She sighed softly and said slowly, "Perhaps you're right. We can't wait any longer."
At this moment, a few whispers could be heard from outside the cabin. Su Ming frowned slightly and gently waved his hand to signal Shen Ling to remain quiet. He quickly stood up and put his ear to the wooden board, listening carefully to the movements outside. The sound of conversation came in intermittently, the conversation between the crew members.
"Do you think the higher-ups can really find them?" a hoarse voice asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry, as long as we follow our instructions, they won't be able to escape our grasp." Another man's voice was tinged with coldness. "The intelligence they carry is too important. The higher-ups will never let them leave alive."
Su Ming understood immediately. These crew members were no ordinary sailors, but rather spies planted by the enemy. His gaze grew even colder, his fingers instinctively stroking the blade of his dagger as he rapidly calculated his next move. They had to escape quickly, or else, once the ship docked, they would have nowhere to escape.
"We must act immediately." He whispered to Shen Ling, his eyes revealing a determination, "They have already set an ambush on the ship."
Shen Ling's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she tightened her grip on the pistol at her waist: "Then what should we do? This ship may look ordinary, but there must be many ambushes hidden in the dark. If we force our way in, we will only be surrounded."
Su Ming was silent for a moment, his eyes glancing towards the lifeboat in the corner of the cabin. Suddenly, an idea struck him: "We need to create chaos and escape from the lifeboat." He quickly formulated a plan: "I'll distract them while you lower the lifeboat."
"Are you alone?" Shen Ling's eyes widened, her tone filled with anxiety. "It's too dangerous."
Su Ming smiled confidently and said softly, "Don't worry, this isn't the first time I've done this." He then leaned over to Shen Ling, whispered some details, and patted her shoulder firmly, "Trust me, we can definitely escape."
Shen Ling took a deep breath, suppressed her inner uneasiness, and nodded firmly. She knew now was not the time to waver; she had to fully cooperate with Su Ming's plan. The two exchanged a tacit glance, then each went their separate ways.
Su Ming quickly slipped into the depths of the cabin, hiding in the shadows. Using the cover of darkness, he quietly approached the crew's area. He needed to make enough noise to attract everyone's attention. Taking advantage of the slight sway of the ship, he deftly removed several barrels of flammable liquid from a pile of debris and quietly lit the fuses.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, flames shot up into the sky, and the deck was in chaos. The crew shouted, "Fire! Come and put out the fire!" For a moment, the alarms and shouts on the ship rang out one after another, and the entire cargo ship fell into chaos.
Meanwhile, Shen Ling had already quickly lowered the lifeboat as planned. She watched the flames burn, silently praying for Su Ming. His bravery and composure were always admirable, but this particular adventure filled her with deep concern. After all, there were too many unknown dangers on this ship, and all she could do was create a chance for him to escape as quickly as possible.
