Chapter 523 Scanning the Room
However, at this moment, Su Ming's phone suddenly vibrated, breaking his anxious contemplation. He stopped and almost subconsciously pulled out his phone. Zheng Yaoxian's name appeared on the screen, and then the screen flashed a few times, and a short message came through.
"It's urgent, come here immediately."
Su Ming's emotions deepened upon seeing this message. Zheng Yaoxian—this name, to him, represented more than just a mission; it was more like an inescapable responsibility and bond. Su Ming knew full well that this name, which had haunted him since his first encounter with espionage, represented more than just a personal agenda; it encompassed a complex and unfathomable situation.
He glanced at his phone screen without hesitation. Zheng Yaoxian never sent messages lightly, and each summons signaled an urgent situation, perhaps even a crucial moment that could change everything.
"Looks like I need to put all this aside for now." Su Ming's fingers tightened around his phone. Without hesitation, he decided to return immediately to Zheng Yaoxian's arrangements. That building, those two people, even the entire situation, would have to be put aside for the time being. Zheng Yaoxian's mission was the most immediate concern.
He quickly changed direction and headed for a less conspicuous spot, his pace still brisk but no longer impatient. In his mind, Zheng Yaoxian's voice echoed in his ears like an invisible guide.
"You must always remember to remain calm, especially when facing uncertainty. Intelligence and adversaries may confuse you, and only by staying calm can you avoid being led astray."
These words followed Su Ming like a shadow, reminding him that no matter what situation he encountered, he should not let his emotions cloud his judgment and should not make wrong decisions due to momentary impulse. And he was currently in this uncertain environment.
The phone vibrated again, and Su Ming's heart skipped a beat. A call at this hour was definitely not a casual conversation. He quickly picked up the phone, and the moment the screen lit up, Zheng Yaoxian's calm voice reached him.
"Su Ming." Zheng Yaoxian's tone didn't fluctuate much, but the sense of urgency in it made Su Ming involuntarily alert. "We have a mission right now, and the situation is quite complicated. Come here immediately. I will explain the rest to you on the spot."
"Understood," Su Ming replied succinctly, his tone remarkably calm, as if responding to a familiar arrangement. Yet, his heart was no longer calm. Zheng Yaoxian offered no further details, simply mentioning the word "complex," implying the mission was far more dangerous than usual. And now, he understood that every step he took could impact the entire situation.
After hanging up the phone, Su Ming's gaze grew fierce. His thoughts raced, replaying the events of the moment, especially the building and the two men's words. "Is there a plan behind this?" He frowned, as if he had grasped some detail. At this moment, he had to act as quickly as possible, and the confusion within him was temporarily suppressed.
He no longer hesitated and walked towards the taxi stand on the corner, his eyes focused and calm. Every time he faced this kind of situation, his body and mind would instantly enter a special state, as if everything had slowed down, and only action and mission were the only reality.
The driver obviously noticed his hurry. Before he could speak, the window rolled down and the driver politely asked, "Where are you going?"
"Go to that place." Su Ming said simply and clearly. The car door closed immediately. He took a deep breath, leaned back in his seat, and stared out the window. At this moment, his heart was not too panicked. Instead, it gradually became clearer. Every clue, every action, every decision would lead him to an increasingly complex and confusing mystery.
The taxi sped into the night, the streets still silent. The scene outside the car window receded, Su Ming's gaze never leaving the darkness. He seemed to be contemplating something, perhaps plotting his next move.
"Mission." Those two words were like a mark etched into his mind, reminding him to remain vigilant at all times. Every order from the other party was imbued with unquestionable decisiveness, and he, as the executor, never had any choice.
The car slowed down gradually, and the driver said softly, "We're here."
Su Ming got out of the car and glanced at the building before him. It still stood quietly under the night, like the most unknown corner in the unbridled flow of the city. Everything here gave people a sense of oppression, and this oppression perfectly matched the word "complexity" that Zheng Yaoxian had mentioned.
He walked towards the building's door, his steps steady, yet a vague sense of unease rose within him. The details of the mission remained unclear, and Zheng Yaoxian's urgency made him realize that he wasn't just facing a simple situation; perhaps there lay a hidden crisis that even he hadn't fully anticipated.
After entering the building, Su Ming was quickly taken to the basement. In a small, dimly lit room, Zheng Yaoxian was already waiting. He was still wearing his gray windbreaker, his face expressionless, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table, as if waiting for something.
"Sit down." Zheng Yaoxian said lightly, without raising his eyes, just quietly looking at the information in his hand.
Su Ming's eyes swept across the dimly lit room. Several pages of documents, scrawled with handwriting, lay scattered on the table, but he didn't immediately examine them. Zheng Yaoxian's aura remained cold and oppressive, his seemingly unhurried demeanor making Su Ming somewhat uneasy. Although he had long been accustomed to working with Zheng Yaoxian, the atmosphere at this moment felt heavier than ever. The oppressive feeling in the air complicated Su Ming's thoughts.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. Zheng Yaoxian didn't speak immediately, but remained silent, as if waiting for a chance. Su Ming lowered his head slightly, his gaze falling on the messy papers on the table, wondering about Zheng Yaoxian's true purpose in summoning him.
Finally, Zheng Yaoxian raised his head, his deep eyes fixed on Su Ming with an elusive expression. "I already know what happened to you today." Zheng Yaoxian's voice remained calm and composed, yet it was like a stone dropped into Su Ming's tranquil lake, stirring up ripples.
