Chapter 193 Sooner or Later, It Will Be Discovered
Obtain a crucial confidential document. This mission hinges on the fate of the entire war, and no mistakes can be made. However, midway through the mission, Su Ming stumbles upon a shocking secret—a high-ranking member of the Juntong organization is actually an undercover enemy agent. This traitor has been secretly betraying the organization's intelligence, causing numerous failed operations and even the sacrifice of many comrades.
Su Ming felt a surge of anger and a chill in his heart. This traitor held a high position and immense power. If he were to expose him carelessly, he would likely be bitten back, plunging into an irretrievable situation. He had to be extremely cautious and not act rashly.
Inner entanglement
After returning to the secret base, Su Ming pondered alone in the quiet of his room. While his position within the organization was high, it was still insignificant compared to the traitor. If he acted rashly, not only would he fail to expose the traitor, but he would be labeled a traitor and even implicate other comrades in hiding.
"What should I do?" Su Ming clenched his fists, a layer of cold sweat oozing from his forehead. The inner conflict tormented him immensely. He wanted to reveal the truth, yet he feared it would cost him his life. He pondered over and over, countless thoughts swirling in his mind, as if he were trapped in an unsolvable puzzle.
Just then, there was a slight knock on the door. Su Ming quickly gathered his thoughts and regained his composure. He knew that in this environment, any emotional fluctuation would reveal his inner thoughts. He took a deep breath, stood up, and opened the door.
A familiar figure stood outside the door. It was Su Ming's contact, a female intelligence agent codenamed "Black Fox." Her expression was solemn, and a hint of unease flickered in her eyes, as if foreshadowing some ominous news.
"What's the situation?" Su Ming asked calmly, but he began to feel nervous.
Black Fox walked into the room, closed the door, and then whispered, "The higher-ups seem to be a little suspicious of you. They think your recent actions are a little unusual, and someone is secretly investigating you."
Su Ming's heart trembled upon hearing this. As expected, the enemy had already begun to move. It seemed that his every move had been monitored for a long time.
"Who suspects me?" he asked in a deep voice, staring at Black Fox, trying to see more information from her eyes.
Black Fox hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's Hound. He's been paying special attention to you lately and seems to have picked up on something."
The name "Hound" made Su Ming's heart beat faster. He was an extremely cunning intelligence chief within the Juntong. With ruthless tactics and a keen sense of smell, he had repeatedly identified enemy spies lurking within. If he were to target Su Ming, his situation would be even more dangerous.
"The Hound has begun to lay a tight net. He's trying to test me, maybe even setting a trap." Su Ming pondered, but outwardly remained calm. "Thank you for the information. I'll handle it with caution," he said, his tone tinged with calm determination.
Black Fox nodded, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, a hint of worry and reluctance. "Su Ming, you must be careful. The situation is very dangerous right now. If you're not careful, you might..." She didn't finish her words, but Su Ming already understood what she meant.
"I know." Su Ming interrupted her, his tone firm. "I won't put myself in a desperate situation."
Black Fox nodded silently and quietly left the room. Su Ming stood in the center of the room, his eyes gleaming with determination. He had no way out. His only choice was to face the challenge head-on and bring the traitor to justice.
Initial actions
In order not to arouse the enemy's suspicion, Su Ming continued to act according to his usual arrangements. He knew that the hounds were secretly observing him, so he had to keep everything normal and not reveal any flaws.
That day, Su Ming arrived at Juntong's intelligence center as usual and continued his work. He sat down at his desk and began sorting through documents. On the surface, everything seemed normal. But in reality, his attention was focused on the movements around him.
Not long after, the Hound walked into the intelligence center. His gaze swept around, finally landing on Su Ming. Su Ming felt the cold gaze, but he didn't look up. Instead, he continued to focus on the task at hand, as if he didn't even notice the Hound's presence.
The Hound slowly walked to Su Ming's desk, picked up a document, and asked casually, "Su Ming, have you noticed anything suspicious recently?"
Su Ming's heart tightened, but he showed no signs of abnormality and replied calmly, "No, everything has been normal recently, and there are no problems with the intelligence channels."
The Hound smiled slightly, put the documents back on the table, and said tentatively, "Really? We've received some news recently that it seems an unknown force is operating in secret. You'd better be careful not to be targeted by them."
Su Ming's heartbeat quickened slightly, but he remained calm and replied calmly, "Thank you for the reminder. I will pay attention to it."
The Hound nodded, then turned and left the intelligence center. Su Ming watched him leave before secretly breathing a sigh of relief. He knew the Hound's probing wouldn't end there. He had to be even more careful and not reveal any flaws.
Life under surveillance
After a few days, Su Ming began to notice more and more signs of being watched. Whether in the Juntong office building or out on missions, he could always sense a pair of eyes secretly watching him. This invisible pressure gradually strained his spirit, almost to the point of breaking point.
Once, while carrying out an ordinary mission, Su Ming suddenly discovered that two suspicious individuals were following him. He feigned ignorance and continued on his planned route, but his inner tension grew. He knew he could be exposed at any moment.
To shake off his pursuers, Su Ming deliberately took several detours through alleyways, attempting to shake them off. However, the two pursuers were clearly well-trained and kept on following him. Su Ming secretly groaned inwardly, thinking that if he continued like this, he would be discovered sooner or later.
At this moment, Su Ming suddenly thought of a solution. He quickly changed his route and headed towards a secluded alley. At the end of the alley was an abandoned old house, which was a hiding place he had previously explored.
After entering the alley, Su Ming quickened his pace, and the two followers followed him. However, as they entered the depths of the alley, they suddenly realized that Su Ming had disappeared. The two looked at each other, bewildered.
