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

In the communications room, the sickeningly faint static that signaled a communication interruption pierced the eardrums of the two people present.

The confidant standing in front of the control panel had a pale face, drained of all color, from working continuously.

He turned around, somewhat bewildered, to look at his superior behind him.

Captain Lei's face changed instantly.

The light that had just shone in those bloodshot eyes, which were tinged with exhaustion from staying up all night, was extinguished in an instant.

His lips were pressed tightly together, and the masseter muscles in his cheeks bulged out from the excessive force.

"Were we exposed?"

Captain Lei felt that even breathing had become difficult.

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

For him, Yu Zui was more than just a hidden pawn planted in the heart of the enemy.

He is not a file that can be sacrificed at any time.

That was a living, breathing person.

A young man on whom he once placed great hopes.

Captain Lei still clearly remembers the scene when he first met Yu Zui in that office at the police academy a few years ago.

The kid stood there with his head down, exuding an air of unruly rebelliousness.

The instructor next to him was listing his "crimes" with great remorse.

But Captain Lei saw in those seemingly unruly eyes a flame that refused to be extinguished.

The flames reminded me so much of myself when I was young.

Therefore, he overruled all objections and kept the "problem student" who was about to be expelled.

Over the next few months, he taught me almost everything he knew.

He personally led Yu Zui in counter-surveillance training, teaching him how to disguise himself in desperate situations, how to control his micro-expressions, and how to get rid of pursuers as quickly as possible.

He watched as the young man was gradually transformed from a rough, angular rock into a sharp blade hidden in its sheath.

That dedication went far beyond what a superior would do to train a subordinate.

It's more like a strict master, sculpting his most prized disciple.

Therefore, after the operation began, he restrained the urge to contact the other party.

He knew better than anyone that for an undercover agent, the most dangerous moment was not when confronting the enemy, but when making contact with the organization.

Any abnormality could lead to death.

But now, for that damned "Li-surname tycoon," he still took the risk.

And the cost of this risk seems to be already becoming apparent.

"It's all my fault..."

Captain Lei clenched his fists tightly at his sides, his knuckles making a slight cracking sound from the excessive force.

"I was too hasty... I pushed him into the fire..."

The thought that the young man might be plunged into an abyss because of his order made Captain Lei's heart clench as if being gripped by an invisible hand, causing him waves of pain.

So, what exactly happened?

Captain Lei's face changed repeatedly under the lights, finally turning ashen.

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

The scene then cuts back to that dark corner of the Myanmar border.

Time froze at the moment Li Mo'an uttered the words, "You're an undercover agent, aren't you?"

The words fell.

Yu Zui felt as if his entire world was collapsing in an instant.

My heart stopped beating at that moment, and my blood seemed to freeze in my veins.

All surrounding sounds disappeared, leaving only a sharp ringing in the ears.

He stared wide-eyed at the face before him, a face so calm it was almost unsettling.

After a brief 0.5 seconds of mental blanking, the instinct for survival and the results of months of hellish training began to kick in.

"calm! 』

"You absolutely must stay calm!"

A voice, Captain Lei's hoarse and stern voice, seemed to transcend time and space, exploding in his mind.

He recalled the scene at the training base where Captain Lei held him down in icy water, training him again and again to maintain his ability to think while suffocating.

"Remember! No matter what happens, your face must not change, and your heartbeat and breathing must not be erratic! That's your last line of defense!"

Yu Zui's chest heaved violently.

He forcefully suppressed the terror that was about to burst from his throat, mobilizing all the muscles in his body to control the uncontrollable trembling.

He looked at Li Mo'an, trying to make his voice sound as innocent and bewildered as possible.

"Boss Li, what... what are you saying?"

however.

The commotion they were making had already attracted the attention of the Yunnan provincial fan leaders not far away.

The drug dealers, who had been loudly boasting and toasting around the campfire, all stopped what they were doing.

They all turned their curious, somewhat scrutinizing gazes to this dark corner.

It fell on Li Mo'an and Yu Zui.

Each gaze, like a searchlight, instantly illuminated the corner as bright as day.

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

Yu Zui immediately felt waves of invisible pressure.

The pressure was like a tidal wave, converging on him from all directions, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

He could sense that those gazes were filled with suspicion, doubt, and a bloodthirsty excitement.

These outlaws love watching this kind of "catching the mole" drama.

As long as Li Mo'an gives the order.

They would pounce on you without hesitation and tear you to pieces.

Cold sweat once again soaked Yu Zui's back.

He felt his psychological defenses crumbling little by little under this silent gaze.

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

It was at this moment that...

Standing opposite him, Li Mo'an looked at his forced composure and then at the sharks that had gathered around him, drawn by the smell of blood.

He spoke slowly, his expression calm.

"Actually, I'm an undercover agent too."

What?!

Yu Zui was completely dumbfounded.

He stared blankly at Li Mo'an, his eyes, which had just managed to regain their composure, now wide open, filled with utter disbelief and utter dazed disbelief.

The brain's processor was completely burned out at that moment.

Only one thought remained, swirling wildly and chaotically in his now blank mind.

"No way, Boss Li said he's an undercover agent too? How is that possible?!"
