Stop it, the country really can't fit any more bans on the domestic entertainment industry.

Instead, someone slept in there.

Infernal Affairs is one of them.

........................................

The narrow alleyway remained eerily quiet, so quiet that one dared not even breathe loudly.

The sunlight was blocked by the wall and hung in mid-air.

Only shadows remained on the ground.

Li Mo'an ignored Lao Zou's constantly changing and complex expression.

He glanced at everyone present and said, "I said I'm going to take this call over there, no one objects, right?"

Zhao Zhihai covered his swollen cheek and lowered his head, while his henchmen didn't dare to utter a sound.

In the alley where no one dared to make a sound.

Li Mo'an, holding the ringing phone, calmly turned around and walked to a corner to answer the call.

He reached out his finger and swiped the answer button on the screen.

He held the phone to his ear.

The call had just been connected.

Yang Mi's nervous voice immediately came from the other end of the receiver.

"Mo'an!"

"Are you... are you still challenging me to a fight?"

Yang Mi's voice revealed an undisguised anxiety, and even the end of her voice trembled slightly.

........................................

Let's push the time back a few minutes.

Outside the Construction Bank on Wenhua Road, not far from this alley in the urban village.

Yang Mi stood next to a black van.

Beside her stood a group of men with extremely serious expressions.

This group of people were none other than Chen Gang, the captain of the anti-drug squad who had been anxiously waiting in the emergency room, and Lao Zhang and others from the city center police station.

So, this is how it happened.

Chen Gang saw the trending topic shown by Zhang Caiwei in the emergency room.

He immediately realized that his old comrade-in-arms, Lao Zou, and that big star might be in mortal danger.

Without any delay, he immediately gathered his men, turned on the sirens, and rushed to the location where the fight had been exposed on Weibo.

That is, this China Construction Bank.

But when they arrived at the scene fully equipped, they found the area outside the Construction Bank completely deserted.

There was no trace of Li Mo'an, Lao Zou, or the others.

They didn't even see a shadow of the big boss, Zhao Zhihai.

Chen Gang stood there, sweating profusely with anxiety.

Just when the police had lost their trail and were searching around the nearby intersections like headless flies...

The nanny van that Yang Mi was riding in drove back just then.

The car door opened, and Yang Mi, wearing a mask and sunglasses, quickly stepped out.

Old Zhang recognized the female boss from the entertainment industry at a glance and quickly went to greet her.

The two met on the curb in front of the China Construction Bank.

After a brief and rapid exchange of information.

Yang Mi finally confirmed that the person her cheap nephew was challenging to a fight was indeed a ruthless killer.

Chen Gang also learned from Yang Mi that Li Mo'an had indeed come to keep the appointment.

The trail went completely cold here.

Chen Gang frowned; he needed to confirm the safety of Lao Zou and Li Mo'an immediately.

Holding his phone, Old Zhang suggested, "Let's call Old Zou right away and ask what's going on."

But Chen Gang immediately raised his hand to stop the suggestion.

"no."

This experienced captain's mind was racing.

He began to carefully consider the possible consequences of making the call.

You know, if the police were to call Lao Zou or Li Mo'an now...

What if Lao Zou and his group are currently in danger of being controlled by drug traffickers?

Once the phone rings, Zhao Zhihai, that inherently suspicious guy, will definitely ask to see the caller ID.

Old Zou's phone is filled with the numbers of his colleagues at the police station.

Zhao Zhihai might even have immediately noticed that something was off about the voice of the veteran policeman, Lao Zou.

Therefore, this hasty phone call could become a death sentence.

It would directly expose their police identities.

At that time, Lao Zou and Li Mo'an will be in dire straits.

After this rigorous logical reasoning, Chen Gang came to a conclusion.

The police must never make this call.

Just when everyone was at a stalemate.

Chen Gang's gaze fell on Yang Mi beside him.

His eyes lit up.

After discussion, both sides came up with the safest solution.

Let Yang Mi make this call!

Because Yang Mi's identity is Li Mo'an's "aunt" and "boss".

This is a perfectly reasonable family and work relationship.

Even though Li Mo'an was dealing with drug traffickers, it was only natural for his family to call and express their concern.

Even if drug dealers are very suspicious, their vigilance will be greatly reduced when they see that the call is from a relative.

then.

Under Chen Gang's command.

Yang Mi took out her phone, her palms slightly sweaty, and dialed Li Mo'an's number.

Chen Gang put on a single earpiece connected to police listening equipment and stood next to Yang Mi to listen in.

That's the whole story behind this phone call.

back to the front.

On the other end of the phone.

Li Mo'an stood in the dusty corner.

He listened to Yang Mi's extremely anxious questions through the receiver.

He turned his head, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield.

He glanced at Zhao Zhihai, who was sitting on the ground with his hands cuffed behind his back, too afraid to move.

Then he looked at the henchmen who were also subdued and lined up in a row.

He thought about it.

In his logic, he brought his men over and knocked down the other side's leader with a single brick.

The remaining henchmen were all beaten up by Lao Zou and his men.

The enemy has now lost its fighting ability and is obediently squatting on the ground.

This means that the offline fight has been completely over on a physical level.

Since the fight is over, it's no longer considered a continued challenge.

After reaching this conclusion.

Li Mo'an answered calmly into the phone:

No, not at all.

His tone was extremely calm, as natural as answering whether he had eaten steamed buns for breakfast.

........................................

The roadside on the other end of the phone.

"Phew~"

Hearing this incredibly casual answer...

Yang Mi breathed a long sigh of relief.

The heart that had been hanging in her throat finally settled back into her stomach.

She felt there might be some misunderstanding involved.

Or perhaps Li Mo'an arrived but couldn't find anyone, so the fight never actually happened.

As long as there was no direct conflict with those desperados, that was a stroke of luck.

After the tense nerves relaxed.

Boss Yang's temper flared up as well.

She added another instruction, as was her habit, over the phone:

"That's good."

"You'd better make sure this 'Light of the Right Path' live stream is run well."

"Learn more from the veteran police officers at the police station."

"Stop causing me any more trouble!"

Her voice regained the capable and efficient quality that belonged to a strong woman.

Listening to my aunt's nagging.

Li Mo'an answered casually.

"understood."

"The scenery here is beautiful, and the people are very friendly. I think I can get along well with them."

"Yes, I'll be careful."

The two chatted casually about everyday things over their phones.

A gentle breeze blew through the alley.

Li Mo'an held the phone, his fingers seemingly unconsciously tapping lightly on the hard plastic back cover.

It makes an extremely faint "da, da da, da" sound.

After chatting for a few minutes...

After confirming that Li Mo'an was temporarily safe, Yang Mi hung up the phone.

The roadside outside the China Construction Bank.

Yang Mi put down her phone and turned around.

She was about to say to Chen Gang next to her, "It's okay, it was a misunderstanding."

however.

After Yang Mi hung up the phone, she turned around.

But she saw that the face of anti-drug captain Chen Gang had become more somber than ever before.

Chen Gang's resolute face was taut with muscles.

He did not take off the single earphone.

His gaze was fixed on a single point in the void.

That was the instinctive reaction of a veteran detective after hearing extremely important information.

The relaxed look on Yang Mi's face vanished instantly.

A sense of foreboding welled up inside her, and she asked, somewhat stammering:

"Captain Chen... what's wrong?"

"Didn't you say there was no fight scheduled?"

Chen Gang took a deep breath.

He took off his headphones and held them in his hand.

He looked at Yang Mi and explained in a deep voice:

"Boss Yang, you only heard the surface meaning."

"So, it was during your conversation with Xiao Li just now."

"He has already conveyed new information to us using extremely professional undercover code!"

Upon hearing this...

The police officers, including Lao Zhang, who were standing nearby, were all stunned.

Yang Mi's eyes widened in surprise.

Chen Gang continued to explain the intricacies of the matter.

"He just used the stress and pauses of specific words in his answer."

"And in the background, there was Morse code coming from him tapping the back of his phone with his fingers."

"This combination forms a very covert method of intelligence transmission."

Chen Gang's tone carried an undisguised shock.

"He just told us he's infiltrated a drug trafficking organization!"

He asked the police not to take any rash actions!

These words resounded like a thunderclap in everyone's ears.

Chen Gang then added his reasoning:

"This shows that Xiao Li is very smart; he guessed it too."

"That your boss, Mr. Yang, would suddenly call to verify the situation at this critical moment."

"Then there must be a captain of my rank listening next to you."

"So, his casual remarks were a cover for drug traffickers."

"Those codes were spoken specifically to me!"

........................................

After listening to Chen Gang's detailed and thorough explanation...

Yang Mi was completely dumbfounded.

She stood there, stunned.

The brain has completely lost the ability to think.

Is this what you call a challenge to a fight?

This guy skipped the fight altogether and went straight to infiltrate the enemy ranks as a spy?!

How does this kid's brain work?

At this time, Chen Gang...

He looked down at the black headphones in his hand.

He has worked on the anti-drug front for so many years.

What kind of elites haven't I seen?

However, the ability to use code words so smoothly and seamlessly, conveying core information without leaving a trace during extremely relaxed and casual conversation, is remarkable.

That technique is absolutely amazing!

Chen Gang looked at his phone, then looked up.

He couldn't help but ask another question:

"Boss Yang, your nephew..."

Is he really a celebrity?

"Why do I feel like he's even more capable than my ace undercover agent who's been infiltrating for ten years?"

Of course, it was just a feeling; he didn't really think Li Mo'an was that awesome.
