Chapter 143 Su Ming’s suspicion is justified
Su Ming nodded. He understood that Zheng Yaoxian was reminding him that future missions would no longer be as simple as assassination and espionage. He would face more complex political struggles.
"From today on, I will teach you some new techniques," Zheng Yaoxian said in a slightly cold voice. "You must learn how to read people's minds, how to use information to manipulate the situation, and how to dismantle the enemy's defenses without making a sound."
Su Ming felt his heart sink, knowing he was being drawn into a deeper vortex. But he had no intention of retreating. On the contrary, he felt something within him harden.
First high-level mission
A few days later, Zheng Yaoxian gave Su Ming an important mission: to escort an important intelligence agent to safe evacuation. This intelligence agent holds a crucial list. If it falls into the hands of the enemy, the entire underground network will face a catastrophe.
"This mission may seem simple on the surface, but you must be aware that this list not only concerns the security of the intelligence network but also involves conflicts of interest among high-level officials," Zheng Yaoxian said calmly. "Some people hope that this list will fall into the hands of the enemy to achieve their ulterior motives."
"What should I do?" Su Ming asked.
"First, you must ensure the safety of the intelligence officer. Second, prevent the list from being leaked. Finally, and most importantly, identify those behind the scenes who want to sabotage this operation." Zheng Yaoxian's tone was heavy. "You must understand, this is not just an escort mission, it's also a power struggle."
Su Ming felt the immense pressure of this mission. He had to protect the intelligence officer amidst a dense enemy siege, while also guarding against internal threats. This mission was a severe test of his abilities and wisdom.
Before the operation began, Su Ming carefully reviewed the entire plan. He broke the mission down into key steps and considered various possible contingencies. He then gathered a few of his trusted subordinates and explained the details of the operation. Although he felt a little uneasy, he knew he had no choice but to give it his all.
On the day of the operation, Su Ming led the intelligence officer through a hidden underground passage, bypassing several possible enemy ambushes. He remained vigilant throughout, keeping his eyes and ears open. Although the intelligence officer was nervous, seeing Su Ming's calmness, he gradually let go of his fear.
However, just as they were about to approach the safe zone, an unexpected incident occurred: a sudden enemy team appeared in front of them, apparently already lying in ambush, waiting for their arrival.
Su Ming instantly realized that someone had deliberately leaked their whereabouts, attempting to thwart the mission at the last minute. He quickly made a decision, ordering his men to disperse the enemy's fire while covering the intelligence officer's advance. In the fierce gunfight, Su Ming, utilizing the terrain's cover, engaged the enemy in a near-hand-to-hand combat.
After a fierce battle, Su Ming successfully broke through the encirclement and safely delivered the intelligence officer to the designated location. However, he knew that this incident was no simple matter. After returning to base, Su Ming immediately began investigating the source of the intelligence leak. He knew that to survive this complex struggle, he had to uncover the truth behind it.
Internal Investigations and Self-Protection
Zheng Yaoxian took this matter very seriously, understanding that Su Ming's suspicions were justified. At his direction, Su Ming began a secret investigation within Juntong. Zheng Yaoxian told him, "Remember, this investigation is yours alone. Don't disclose it to anyone else. Your job is to find the traitor and ensure he doesn't have the opportunity to harm us again."
Su Ming pondered for a moment. He understood what Zheng Yaoxian meant. This investigation would be his greatest test. He would not only have to deal with external enemies, but also face threats from within. Moreover, he had to proceed with great care. Any misstep could lead him to irreparable ruin.
In the days that followed, Su Ming used his unique "identity attribute" ability to secretly observe and test every suspicious person. He quietly approached different people, carefully listening to their words and subtle changes in behavior, looking for clues.
At the same time, he also remained vigilant, guarding against actions that might be detrimental to him. Su Ming understood that in this invisible struggle, he not only had to take the initiative, but also had to be vigilant at all times to protect himself from being plotted against.
After several interactions, Su Ming noticed that a member of the Juntong, Li Feng, was behaving somewhat strangely. Li Feng held a low position within the Juntong, but he had close connections to certain higher-ups and was known for his secretive behavior. Even more disturbing to Su Ming was the fact that Li Feng seemed to be constantly, intentionally or unintentionally, prying into secrets that lay beyond his purview.
Su Ming decided to intensify his surveillance of Li Feng. He set up some small traps to test Li Feng's reaction. Sure enough, Li Feng's behavior became more suspicious. He began to contact the outside world frequently and tried to avoid Su Ming's sight.
Finally, late one night, Su Ming intercepted a secret communication between Li Feng and the outside world. After decoding it, he discovered that the letter was actually informing the enemy of a crucial Juntong operational plan! Su Ming knew he had found the mole, but instead of taking immediate action, he decided to use this opportunity to set a larger trap.
Counterattack and Plan
Su Ming deliberately leaked Li Feng's communication to trick the enemy into thinking their plan had succeeded. At the same time, he reported the situation to Zheng Yaoxian and suggested turning the tables and tricking the enemy into revealing more of their cards.
Zheng Yaoxian agreed with Su Ming's plan and gave him his full support. Su Ming quickly formulated a more thorough counterattack plan. He decided to capture the enemy in one fell swoop when they launched an attack.
On the day of the operation, Su Ming deliberately fabricated several false intelligence transmissions to trick Li Feng into passing the wrong information to the enemy. At the same time, he deployed heavy troops at key locations, waiting for the enemy to fall into his trap.
As night fell, the enemy launched their attack as expected. However, they faced a trap that Su Ming had already laid. A fierce battle erupted in an instant, and the enemy, helpless against Su Ming's meticulous planning, was completely defeated.
After the battle, Su Ming personally arrested
Su Ming stood in front of the abandoned warehouse, the air filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood.
The battle he had just experienced had left him completely on edge, his hand still clutching a warm pistol, his heart pounding in his ears. Although he had successfully killed the enemy and obtained crucial intelligence from them, he couldn't calm down.
In the past few months, he has won battles one after another and completed one difficult mission after another, but the taste of this victory has gradually become bitter.
