Spy Wars: Strong Agents Who Are Ruthless and Talk Little

Chapter 287 I Don’t Like Such Excuses

After breakfast, Yang Cheng sat on the sofa, scrolling through the messages on his phone. He discovered that his stand-in had contacted Li Yang and confirmed he could attend the transaction on time. He felt a little relieved, but still couldn't fully let go. He realized that while his stand-in was reliable, he still needed to be prepared for Black Tiger.

"What if Black Tiger discovers the identity of the substitute..." He thought to himself, and a sense of fear rose in his heart.

Yang Cheng's mind replayed Li Yang's instructions and the deal he had arranged with Black Tiger. Time slipped before him, and the impending transaction loomed like an invisible shadow, shrouding his heart. Even after breakfast, he couldn't settle down, his thoughts surging like a torrential rain.

"Can I really do this?" he whispered to himself, his eyes wandering around the kitchen, finally settling on the shadows of the trees outside the window, a tinge of unease building in his heart. Thinking of Hei Hu's cunning face, Yang Cheng couldn't help but clench his fists, his inner uneasiness intertwined with anger, causing him to fluctuate emotionally.

At this moment, the vibration of his phone interrupted his thoughts. He quickly picked up the phone and saw a message from Li Yang: "Everything is ready, the substitute is on the way, remember to keep in touch."

"I will," Yang Cheng replied, feeling a slight sense of relief. Even though his body double was ready, he still felt a subtle sense of nervousness. It was like a ghost lurking in the depths of his heart, constantly reminding him of the danger he was about to face.

Li Yang's words made him even more alert, realizing that the current situation could not be taken lightly. Even though everything seemed to be arranged properly, Yang Cheng couldn't help but think of various possible accidents. He muttered to himself, "What if the substitute is not reliable? What if Black Tiger sees through him..."

The more Yang Cheng thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, almost fidgeting. He paced the room repeatedly, his footsteps and heartbeats standing out in the quiet. Just as he was hesitating, the doorbell rang, interrupting his train of thought.

"Who would come at this hour?" He couldn't help but frown, feeling a little nervous. Yang Cheng walked to the door and looked through the peephole. He saw a young man in ordinary clothes with a plain face. He didn't seem to pose any threat.

"Is it you?" Yang Cheng opened the door, trying to hide his nervousness.

"I'm a stand-in. Li Yang asked me to come." The young man smiled slightly, with a hint of confidence in his eyes.

Yang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare let his guard down completely. He carefully studied the man before him, imagining the scene Li Yang had described. Although the young man appeared trustworthy, Yang Cheng still couldn't fully trust him. The underlying anxiety in his heart resurfaced.

"Are you ready?" Yang Cheng asked, trying to remain calm.

"I've understood the entire plan." The young man said firmly, his expression serious. "As long as I follow Li Yang's instructions, I will keep a low profile during the transaction and will definitely not attract Black Tiger's attention."

Yang Cheng nodded slightly, but he still had doubts in his heart. "Can you really handle Black Tiger's tactics? He's not someone you can easily deal with."

"Don't worry, I have my own way." The young man was confident. "I will control the situation and keep you safe."

"I hope so." Yang Cheng felt a tinge of unease, his worries surging like an undercurrent, unable to calm down. He knew he had to learn to trust others, but the confrontation with Black Tiger kept him feeling immense pressure.

"We need to leave as soon as possible to avoid being discovered." The young man said and began to pack his things.

Yang Cheng nodded, realizing that time was running out. He and the young man quickly packed their bags and prepared to head to the transaction location. The tension in his heart grew stronger and stronger, and he tried to calm down by constantly suggesting to himself: "Everything will be fine. I must believe in the ability of the substitute."

On the way to the transaction location, the sun was shining brightly, and the scenery outside the car window was peaceful. However, Yang Cheng's heart was like the surging waves of the ocean, unable to calm down. He secretly pondered: "What if all goes wrong? How can I save myself?"

"Don't worry, if the transaction goes well, you will be free." The young man noticed Yang Cheng's anxiety and tried to comfort him.

"I hope so." There was a hint of helplessness in Yang Cheng's voice. He felt an invisible pressure surging into his heart, making him feel even heavier.

When they arrived at the transaction location, the young man's expression grew grave. The place seemed quite secluded, surrounded by high walls, making it virtually impossible for outsiders to see. They cautiously entered a dark warehouse, the dim lighting adding to the tension.

"This is the place for the transaction." The young man whispered, looking around and looking quite alert.

Yang Cheng's heartbeat quickened as he pondered Black Tiger's possible response. He bit his lower lip, a faint sense of fear building within him. However, he knew he had no way out. He had to face this challenge head-on.

"I'll wait for you outside, keep in touch," the young man added, his eyes firm and focused.

"Okay, I will complete the transaction as soon as possible." Yang Cheng tried to make himself look calm, but his heart was still turbulent.

Just as he was about to enter the warehouse, a thought emerged in his mind: "If I really fail this time, what consequences will I face?" This thought exploded in his mind like a blockbuster bomb.

As he walked deeper into the warehouse, his mind was filled with memories of Black Tiger and worries about the future. He imagined Black Tiger's cunning face, and countless anxieties surged in his heart.

"I must be careful." Yang Cheng muttered to himself, trying to stay alert.

After entering the warehouse, the air was filled with a dull atmosphere. Several blurry photos hung on the walls, showing past transaction records. He frowned slightly, his heart filled with doubts: "How many secrets has Black Tiger hidden here?"

Just as he was lost in thought, footsteps sounded at the door, and Yang Cheng's heart suddenly tightened. He quickly adjusted his posture, pretending to be calm, but inside he was nervous. He didn't dare to act rashly, and quietly waited for the person to arrive.

As the footsteps approached, Yang Cheng could feel the pressure and counted silently in his mind: "I'll know the result in a few seconds."

The door finally opened, and Hei Hu walked in, his face revealing a hint of disdain and indifference. He looked around, as if sizing up the dark warehouse, and then his gaze fixed on Yang Cheng.

"You're finally here, Yang Cheng." Hei Hu's voice was low and threatening.

Yang Cheng tried to appear natural, but he was secretly anxious. "Black Tiger, our deal is ready."

"Ready? How disappointing." Black Tiger sneered, a dangerous glint in his eyes. "I thought you would perform better."

Yang Cheng's heart tightened, and he tried to remain calm. "I have my plan, Black Tiger, please trust me."

Hei Hu raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming somewhat curious about Yang Cheng's words. "Plan? This reminds me of your past, Yang Cheng." He said with a hint of sarcasm, "Do you think you can change anything?"

Yang Cheng's heart sank, and he felt a strong sense of powerlessness. He gritted his teeth, trying not to waver. "I will do everything right this time. I will never let you down."

"I hope so." There was disdain in Hei Hu's voice. "But I don't like failure, Yang Cheng."

Under the gaze of Black Tiger, Yang Cheng's heart was in turmoil, and he felt as if he was in a sea of ​​fire. He knew that the situation before him was more complicated than he had imagined, and he had to remain vigilant at all times.

"Can we start the transaction?" Yang Cheng tried hard to suppress the fear in his heart and tried to change the subject.

"Of course." Black Tiger showed a cunning smile, "But before that, I need to confirm your loyalty."

"My loyalty has never wavered." Yang Cheng tried to remain calm, but he couldn't help feeling panic in his heart.

"Don't let me down." Hei Hu seemed dissatisfied with Yang Cheng's answer. His eyes were cold and threatening, making Yang Cheng feel suffocated.

At this moment, Yang Cheng's phone rang. His heart skipped a beat. The caller ID showed it was from a young man. Yang Cheng glanced at Hei Hu and thought to himself, "Should I answer it?"

"Take it." Black Tiger seemed to sense Yang Cheng's hesitation and said coldly, "I don't want to have any doubts about your loyalty."

Yang Cheng hesitated for a moment, but finally answered the phone. "Hello, what's up?" He tried to keep his voice calm.

"The situation has changed. Black Tiger seems to have noticed something." The young man's voice came, hurried and nervous.

Yang Cheng's heart sank, and he felt a sense of crisis rising within him. He quickly glanced around, and Black Tiger's gaze became increasingly sharp, as if he had seen through everything.

"We must change our plan immediately!" the young man said anxiously. "Black Tiger is likely to take action."

"I understand. I will try my best to delay time." Yang Cheng responded in a low voice, trying to control his emotions.

"Hurry up, don't let him suspect!" The young man's voice was filled with anxiety.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Cheng felt a surge of panic in his heart. He realized that the situation before him was much more complicated than he had expected and he had to deal with it carefully.

"Who are you talking to?" Hei Hu's eyes were as sharp as knives, staring at Yang Cheng sharply, making him shudder.

"I just... just contacted my partner." Yang Cheng tried to remain calm, but his voice trembled slightly.

"Partner? I don't like that excuse." A sneer appeared on Hei Hu's lips. "I won't let anyone interfere with our transaction."

Yang Cheng's heart tightened, and he felt something was wrong. He had to find a way to deal with the threat from the black tiger. The tension in his heart made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

"I promise everything will go well." Yang Cheng tried his best to make his voice sound confident, but he couldn't hide his inner panic.
