Chapter 524 You are the best
Su Ming's brow furrowed slightly, his inner vigilance rising once again. He had heard this tone countless times before. Zheng Yaoxian didn't like direct explanations, preferring to let people piece together the truth on their own. Every time he spoke, Su Ming could sense a potential danger.
"Do you know?" Su Ming raised his eyebrows, his eyes slightly cold, but his tone was not intense, he just asked calmly.
Zheng Yaoxian glanced at him without a smile on his face. "I know the two men you met today. Although you haven't fully figured out their background, judging from their behavior, the organization behind them has some connection with the situation you are involved in." When he said this, his eyes suddenly became deep, as if he was weighing something.
Su Ming's heartbeat quickened, and he immediately realized that his earlier suspicions were not groundless. These people were clearly not simple street thugs. Whether it was their behavior or the phrase "not ordinary people," it hinted at a more complex background.
"Are you saying they're related to that mission?" Su Ming asked in a low voice, a sense of unease creeping in. He didn't like this ambiguity, especially since he always felt like there was an invisible hand manipulating everything.
Zheng Yaoxian had a cold smile on his face, but his eyes were devoid of warmth. "It's related to the mission, or perhaps it's a mission on another level. These people are clearly not just the street thugs you encountered."
Su Ming couldn't help but frown. He sorted out the clues in his mind again and suddenly realized that he was not just involved in an ordinary conflict. It seemed that something deeper was happening quietly.
"What exactly do you want to say?" Su Ming couldn't help but ask, with more and more doubts in his heart. Under his calm appearance, anxiety and uneasiness gradually rose.
Zheng Yaoxian didn't answer immediately, but instead pushed the information on the desk toward Su Ming. "This is some information I've pieced together based on your actions," he said slowly. "Your next mission is not only to solve today's problem, but also to uncover everything hidden behind it."
Su Ming looked at the information, remaining calm on the surface, but an uneasy premonition began to emerge in his heart. He knew that the "hidden secrets" Zheng Yaoxian mentioned were not just simple clues, but meant a deeper mystery, perhaps a key to the entire situation.
"Behind? What do you mean?" He asked in a low voice, staring at Zheng Yaoxian intently, as if waiting for him to unveil the hidden veil.
A complex look flashed across Zheng Yaoxian's eyes, and he suddenly whispered, "Do you remember what those two men said today? 'That kid is no ordinary person.' They clearly know something about you, and may even have been prepared for this. Perhaps, hiding behind them isn't just a simple enemy, but a force you've never encountered before."
These words were like a hammer, hammering down on Su Ming's heart. His eyes widened, his heartbeat accelerating. He hadn't taken those words, those clues, to heart at the time, but now, recalling them, they were horrifying. Zheng Yaoxian's words, though simple, held a chilling meaning. Clearly, the identities of the two men were far more complex than he had initially suspected.
"You mean, the power behind this is bigger than I thought?" Su Ming's voice was a little heavy, but he quickly suppressed the panic in his heart and readjusted his mood. He knew that now was not the time to panic.
Zheng Yaoxian didn't answer directly. Instead, he smiled faintly, his tone remaining calm. "You'll have to investigate for yourself. Now, your mission is to discover the true motives and goals behind those people." His eyes grew sharp, as if he saw through Su Ming. "Furthermore, I hope you can act quickly. Because, in my opinion, that 'ordinary person' you just encountered is more than just a simple clue."
Su Ming was stunned, his heart pounding. How exactly was that person connected to this situation? Why was he the key to this entire mission?
"I understand," he replied in a deep voice, his gaze firm. He knew he had no time to hesitate. Regardless, all the answers to this mystery would only surface gradually through deeper exploration.
Zheng Yaoxian nodded and stood up. "Remember, don't act rashly. If you make any new discoveries, report them to me immediately."
After passing through several intricate alleys, Su Ming finally arrived at a dilapidated house. The door panels were rotten, and the walls were covered with moss, giving off a sense of age and desolation. He took a deep breath, raised his hand, and knocked on the door, his voice low and steady.
A moment later, there were soft footsteps. The door opened a crack, and a middle-aged man's face peeked out from behind. His eyes were sharp, wary, and scrutinizing. He was Zheng Yaoxian.
"Who are you?" Zheng Yaoxian's voice was low and cold, as if he could see directly into Su Ming's heart.
Su Ming smiled slightly, took out a piece of letter and handed it over: "This is something an old friend asked me to bring to you."
Zheng Yaoxian took the letter, glanced at it carefully, frowned slightly, and then relaxed. He opened the door and motioned Su Ming to come in.
The room was dimly lit, with only a single oil lamp flickering faintly above the table. Zheng Yaoxian sat at the table, a cup of hot tea in hand. He gestured for Su Ming to sit down, his eyes still scrutinizing.
"Tell me, what do you want to see me for?" Zheng Yaoxian went straight to the point without any politeness.
After Su Ming sat down, he said in a deep voice, "I need your help. The mission assigned to me by the organization is very difficult, and the enemy is extremely cunning. I must learn how to deal with them in the dark."
Zheng Yaoxian put down his teacup, a glint of interest in his eyes. "Oh? You're quite direct. But what makes you think I'll help you?"
Su Ming answered without hesitation: "Because you are the best. No one knows how to win in a spy war better than you. If I fail, this battle will cost me dearly."
Zheng Yaoxian was silent for a moment, his gaze fixed on Su Ming, as if he wanted to see into his soul. After a long pause, he slowly said, "Okay, I can teach you something. But remember, espionage isn't just a theory; it's a life-and-death struggle, and every step you take could determine your fate."
In the following days, Su Ming began his secret study with Zheng Yaoxian. Zheng Yaoxian's teaching method was extremely strict. He not only taught Su Ming various espionage techniques, but also required him to master the art of psychological warfare.
