Chapter 233 revealed one of his weaknesses.

Rose and her teammates did not let up either, constantly attacking Yunming, trying to defeat him before he broke through the energy field.

Just as Yunming was about to break through the energy field, Rose suddenly discovered one of his weaknesses.

She launched an attack without hesitation, directly targeting Yunming's weaknesses.

"what!"

Yunming cried out in pain, and his body swayed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rose and her teammates launched their final attack.

"boom"

With a thud, Yunming fell to the ground.

Rose looked at Yunming lying on the ground, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

The battle is finally over.

"We made it!"

The teammates cheered.

Rose did not smile; she knew this was only a temporary victory.

Yunming glanced at A-Jie but didn't answer his question about the bait. He just stared at the water, as if endless secrets were hidden beneath the calm surface of the lake.

Seeing that Yunming ignored him, A-Jie didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he squatted down to the side with great interest, looking at the lake as well, and muttered to himself, "Hey, it would be really strange if these fish could bite without bait."

"Captain, what kind of tactic is Mr. Yun using?"

He said this to the teammate who had rushed over, and the teammate looked blank and could only shrug.

"Ah Jie, stop making wild guesses."

Mr. Yun has his reasons for doing things.

The team members advised.

Ah Jie persisted, saying, "I was just curious."

"We were on a mission here, how did we suddenly end up fishing here? It just doesn't make sense."

At this moment, Yunming suddenly spoke up: "A-Jie, you talk too much."

If you keep making that noise, believe me, I'll throw you into the lake so you can have a good chat with the fish.

His voice was calm, but Ah Jie inexplicably felt a chill and quickly shut his mouth.

After a while, Ah Jie couldn't hold back any longer: "Mr. Yun, look at this task, we've been investigating for so long, but we still don't have a clue."

Where do you think the mastermind is hiding? If we keep going like this, when will it ever end?

Yunming continued to stare at the water, and said calmly, "A-Jie, some things can't be rushed."

Just like fishing, you have to be patient and wait for the fish to bite the hook.

All we have to do now is wait.

"Wait? Just wait like this? What if the fish don't bite?"

Ah Jie looked puzzled.

If it doesn't bite, then try fishing in a different spot or using a different method.

But it's definitely not like you, so impatient and just shouting nonsense.

Yunming said.

Ah Jie scratched his head: "Mr. Yun, I was just impatient."

As you know, our National Security Bureau values ​​efficiency in everything we do.

This dragging on makes me uneasy.

"Efficiency is not about acting blindly, but about doing the right thing at the right time."

Yunming said, "Do you think this mission is simple? The forces involved behind it are complex and intertwined. If you are not careful, you will lose everything."

"I know the task is difficult, but we can't just wait around."

"Maybe I should go out and check things out again; maybe I can find some clues."

A-Jie suggested.

"How many times have you gone out to scout out the situation? What have you found?"

Yunming countered with a question.

Ah Jie immediately deflated: "Uh... there really wasn't anything substantial to show for it."

But I think my method might be wrong. Give me another chance, and I will definitely…

"Alright, stop talking big."

"You need to be quiet for a moment and think carefully about the flaws in your previous actions."

Yunming interrupted him.

Ah Jie had no choice but to shut up and sit to the side, muttering to himself, "I didn't do anything wrong, so why didn't I get anything in return..."

Just then, the fishing rod moved slightly.

Yunming's eyes sharpened instantly. He gently gripped the fishing rod and began to reel in the line.

Ah Jie suddenly perked up, stood up, and looked at Yun Ming nervously: "They've taken the bait? They've taken the bait! Mr. Yun, pull them in, pull them in!"

Yunming slowly reeled in the line, and a fish was pulled out of the water.

Ah Jie excitedly reached out to grab it: "Me! Me!"

As a result, the fish was too slippery and broke free from his grasp, falling back into the water.

Ah Jie looked embarrassed: "Oops, my mistake."

Yunming shook his head helplessly: "You, you're always so clumsy."

Ah Jie smiled sheepishly: "Mr. Yun, I was just too excited."

"But your fishing skills are truly amazing; you can catch fish even without bait."

"This is not a matter of fishing technique, but rather a matter of timing."

When a fish is hungry, it will naturally bite the hook, even if there is no bait. As long as it feels there is an opportunity, it will try.

This is similar to how we carry out missions; we must grasp the opponent's weaknesses and needs to strike decisively.

Yunming explained.

"Oh, I think I understand now."

Just like we need to find the mastermind behind everything, and then we trace the investigation along that line, right?

A-Jie asked.

That's roughly the idea.

But this requires keen observation and accurate judgment; it's not something you can do on a whim.

Yunming said.

"Mr. Yun, please teach me."

I know I'm not very smart, but I'm willing to learn.

Ah Jie said ingratiatingly.

“I can teach you, but you have to learn to calm down first.”

You're too impetuous; if you continue like this, you'll never achieve anything great.

Yunming looked at A-Jie and said seriously.

“I know, I know.

From now on, I will definitely change.

Tell me, what should I do?

Ah Jie looked sincere.

"First, observe the surrounding environment."

Every detail could be a clue, from people's expressions and behaviors to the placement and changes of surrounding objects; pay attention to all of these.

Yunming began to teach Ajie.

Upon hearing this, A-Jie immediately began looking around, his eyes wide open: "Mr. Yun, I've looked around, and this is just an ordinary lakeside, nothing special."

"What you're doing is looking, not observing."

Observation requires careful analysis. For example, look at that tree over there; the branches show signs of being broken. What does that mean?

Yunming pointed to a tree not far away and said.

Ah Jie looked closely: "Does that mean someone climbed that tree?"

"It's possible, but it could also be caused by the wind or other animals."

You need to consider other surrounding circumstances to make a judgment.

For example, footprints on the ground can tell you a lot about the direction and depth of those footprints.

Yunming continued.

Ah Jie squatted down and looked at the footprints on the ground: "These footprints look like they belong to our team members, nothing special."

You only see the surface.

Look more closely. Some of these footprints are deep, and some are shallow. What does that mean?

Yunming guided Ajie.

"This indicates...this indicates that the person walking is not applying force evenly?"

A-Jie said uncertainly.

"Yes, it could be from carrying heavy loads or from an injury."

Could you revisit our actions before we came here? Did we achieve anything?

Yunming asked.

A-Jie thought for a moment: "We searched here before, and one of our team members accidentally twisted his ankle. Could this be his footprint?"

"possible.

This is the process of observation and analysis.

You can't just look at one aspect; you have to synthesize all the information.

Yunming said.

"Understood, Mr. Yun. I will definitely pay more attention in the future."

"Besides observation, what else is there to learn?"

A-Jie asked.

"And then there's thinking."

When you encounter a problem, don't rush into action. First, think about why this is happening, what the possible outcomes are, and what the consequences of each possibility would be.

Yunming said.

"For example, in this mission, we've been looking for clues about the mastermind behind it all, but we just can't find them."

Well, as you said, I need to think about why I can't find it.

Is our approach wrong, or is the opponent too well-hidden? If our approach is wrong, where did we go wrong? If the opponent is well-hidden, how do we break through?

A-Jie tried to think.

“Yes, that’s it.

You need to keep asking questions and then looking for the answers.

In this process, your understanding of the task will deepen, and your chances of finding clues will increase.

Yunming nodded.

"Mr. Yun, a question suddenly came to mind."

"What is the mastermind behind this? They've created such a huge commotion; there must be some ulterior motive."

Ah Jie said.

"That's exactly what we need to figure out."

The purpose is very likely related to what we want to protect.

We need to start from this direction and analyze the possible actions to be taken.

Yunming said.

"What we need to protect? Is it that classified document?"

A-Jie asked.

"possible.

That document is of great importance; if it falls into the wrong hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.

That's why they'll try every means to seize it.

Yunming said.

"Then we need to find it quickly, we can't let the documents be stolen."

Ah Jie said anxiously.

"Don't worry.

What we need to do now is wait.

We'll wait until a weakness is revealed, and then we'll find a more favorable opportunity.

Before we begin, we must make thorough preparations; we cannot fight a battle unprepared.

Yunming said.

"Prepared? We're fully prepared. We've investigated everything that needed to be investigated, and we've deployed everything that needed to be deployed."

Ah Jie said.

"Not enough."

You need to think from the other person's perspective, how they might act, and how we should respond.

Furthermore, our team members still need further training and practice to gel as a team.

Yunming said.

"Training and getting used to each other? We train quite a lot regularly."

Ah Jie was a little confused.

"Regular training and actual combat are two different things."

We need to conduct targeted training based on the characteristics of this mission.

For example, improving combat capabilities in complex environments and enhancing teamwork.

Yunming said.

"Understood, Mr. Yun."

I'll arrange it right away."

Ah Jie was about to leave when he said that.

"and many more.

Before making any plans, take a moment to digest what you've learned today.

Don't ignore what I say later.

Yunming reminded him.

"No, Mr. Yun."

I will definitely keep your teachings in mind this time.

Ah Jie said with absolute certainty.

Ah Jie handed the phone to Yun Ming, his expression somewhat complicated.

Yunming reached out and took the phone, looking calmly at it. He held it to his ear and said softly, "Hello."

"Yunming, I am Lin Yue, the deputy leader of the China Special Operations Group."

On the other end of the phone, the woman's voice was clear and crisp, yet carried a hint of authority.

"Deputy Team Leader Lin, what can I do for you?"

Yunming responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Regarding the accident that claimed nearly twenty lives, you claim it was unintentional, but do you have any evidence?"

Lin Yue got straight to the point.

Yunming sneered: "Evidence? The incident happened so suddenly, how could I leave any evidence? But if I say it was unintentional, then it was unintentional."

If I were willing, do you think there would still be an opportunity to speak with me like this now?

"Hmph, quite the boast."

Do you realize how much trouble your 'unintentional' act has caused us? Have you considered the pressure from public opinion and the grief of our families?

Lin Yue's voice carried a hint of anger.

"I am very sorry, but what's done is done, and I am willing to accept reasonable punishment."

But if you're trying to ruin me completely, then let's not talk about it anymore.

Yunming's tone also turned cold.

"A reasonable punishment? What do you mean by reasonable? Do you know that's nearly twenty precious lives lost!"

Lin Yue raised her voice.

"Deputy Team Leader Lin, I am just an outsider in this world."

I understand how much you value life, but I also have my bottom line.

If I wanted to escape, do you think you could stop me? I chose to stay because I want to resolve this peacefully.

Yunming spoke slowly.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then Lin Yue asked, "So what is this system you're talking about? And how is it related to this incident?"

Yunming was startled, not expecting to detect the system's existence so quickly.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "The system is my secret and has no direct connection with this building collapse."

My ability to collapse buildings is merely a power granted by the system.

"A little ability? Do you know that because of your little ability, our investigation has reached a stalemate?"

The families are waiting for the truth; we must give them an explanation.

Lin Yue's voice carried a hint of weariness.

"An explanation? I can apologize to the family and provide some financial compensation."

But I won't be treated like a criminal.

Yunming said.

"An apology? Compensation? Can those make up for the lives lost?"

Lin Yue questioned.

"So what do you want? To kill me? But what good would killing me do you? What's done is done, there's no going back."

I believe you don't want to see more innocent people get implicated either.

Yunming countered with a question.

Lin Yue fell silent again. After a while, she said, "We need time to discuss this. Please don't leave here for now."

A-Jie will be watching you.

Okay, I'll wait for your reply.

But I hope you won't keep me waiting too long; my patience is limited.

After Yunming finished speaking, he hung up the phone and tossed it back to A-Jie.

Ah Jie took the phone, looked at Yun Ming, and wanted to say something but held back.

Yunming glanced at him and said, "What, do you have something to say?"

Ah Jie hesitated for a moment, then spoke up: "Yunming, you really should cooperate with us."

This is a very serious matter.

Yunming smiled and said, "I know it's serious, otherwise I wouldn't be wasting my breath talking to you guys here."

But don't push me too far.

Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone me, who's not a rabbit.

Ah Jie sighed helplessly: "I just think that if you can truly repent, there might still be a chance for things to turn around."
