The undercover mission was not his own business; it carried the sacrifices and efforts of countless people and could not withstand any accidents or risks.

So even though he desperately wanted to rush forward, he still managed to hold back.

Moreover, this is Huadu, and he is Su Cheng. He doesn't know how many eyes are watching him from the shadows. It's impossible to predict what kind of changes his impulsive and reckless actions will bring.

If he affected the mission or caused Su Yueya to be imprisoned, he would never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.

"I never expected that Crescent Moon would come to Huadu on a mission..."

Su Cheng knew very well what that base was for.

In Huadu, human trafficking is rampant, and Xu Mao is the boss here. He has a share in the business in almost every region, and that stronghold might be one of them.

Su Cheng finally looked away when Su Yueya disappeared at the end of the road.

fine……

The undercover mission is nearing its end. Based on the information he exchanged with Xu Ziqi during their last meeting, he estimates that it will take about six months before the final operation is completed. At that time, he will be able to transform from Su Cheng back into Lu Zhengjun and stand proudly before Su Yueya.

Crescent moon, crescent moon, crescent moon...

Although it was only a brief encounter, a single moment, it quenched the thirst of countless days and nights of longing.

The crescent moon seems a bit rounder than before?

Right? I think so, right?

In the past, Lu Zhengjun could tell at a glance whether Su Yueya had gained or lost a pound, but perhaps because they hadn't seen each other for too long, he had lost his former sharpness and could no longer accurately tell even this.

However, he had no doubt that the crescent moon had become more beautiful; he could tell at a glance and was absolutely certain of it.

"Brother Cheng, what are you muttering to yourself?" Haozi noticed that Su Cheng seemed to be lost in thought and wondered. He followed Su Cheng's gaze and looked around aimlessly, muttering, "Nothing's different, Brother Cheng, what are you doing?"

"It's nothing, I just saw a really pretty girl and glanced at her a couple of times," Su Cheng said casually, putting his arm around Haozi's shoulder as they walked away.

"What?!" Haozi almost jumped up on the spot, unable to believe what he had just heard. He looked around even more intensely and exclaimed in surprise, "Pretty girl? I don't believe it, I don't believe it even if you beat me to death. Only a celestial being could catch your eye. I've been with you for so long, and I've never seen you have any women. Don't kid me."

It's no wonder Haozi didn't believe it. From following Scarface to showing his face in front of Xu Mao, and even becoming Xu Mao's favorite, and then being pushed in front of Master Shen, Su Cheng had done a lot of things like killing people and being ruthless, but he had never had a single scandalous affair with a woman.

"Brother Cheng, you don't treat me like a brother at all! I don't believe you don't have a woman!" Haozi shouted.

“It’s not that I’ve never heard of it at all,” Zheng Chong said abruptly.

"What?" Haozi immediately became interested. "Chong, what do you know? Tell me quickly! There's even some scandalous news about Brother Cheng that you know but I don't. What does this mean... it means, oh, you two went out to play behind my back, didn't you? Are you still my brothers? Isn't this interesting?"

Zheng Chong: "..."

They've used all their brainpower on fighting; they can't think of anything serious.

"What kind of look is that?"

Zheng Chong's dislike for Haozi was not something he needed to hide; it was evident in every aspect of their daily life, every single moment.

"Can't you understand what kind of look I'm giving you?" Zheng Chong retorted.

Haozi was furious, but what could he do? He couldn't compete with Zheng Chong in anything other than fighting, talking, or thinking. He knew that much.

"I don't care, you have to tell me what kind of scandalous news Cheng Ge has!" Haozi was determined to find out today, this was big news!

Zheng Chong didn't keep Haozi in suspense any longer and told him quite generously.

“Before we joined Brother Cheng, when he was still hanging out with Brother Scar, didn’t he pick a schoolgirl in a school uniform?” Zheng Chong said.

"What?!" Haozi exploded again.

Su Cheng: "..."

He really didn't expect Zheng Chong to bring this up, but this also shows that Xu Mao didn't just bring Haozi and Zheng Chong to his side randomly. He even dug up this kind of past, so he must have done a background check.

"What student girl? She's just someone from Fenglan Residence, wearing a school uniform," Su Cheng said.

"So, Brother Cheng, you like this kind of thing?" Haozi grinned lewdly.

Su Cheng slapped his head open, clearly disgusted.

"ill."

What do you mean by "this" and "that"? It's just a task. In that situation in the private room, could he really not have chosen one? Otherwise, he wouldn't have had the chance to get close to Xu Mao.

Su Cheng didn't explain much; how Haozi might misunderstand wasn't the point.

That night, before he went to sleep, the image of Su Yueya he had seen during the day kept replaying in his mind. The scene lingered in his mind, and it seemed even clearer because it was night.

In fact, this is a must-do every night before going to bed. Su Cheng has been doing this for countless days and nights.

Today was very different. Perhaps it was because he had seen Su Yueya in person during the day that his longing for her was particularly strong tonight, and the image was particularly vivid. He tossed and turned until almost midnight before finally falling asleep.

The next day, early in the morning, someone came looking for them.

Su Cheng was taken aback when he saw who it was.

What brings you here?

The person who came to find Su Cheng was none other than Uncle Kun, an old man who worked for Master Shen.

Uncle Kun was one of Master Shen's most trusted men, and he had watched and accompanied Master Shen as he built his empire step by step. Therefore, Uncle Kun's words carried a lot of weight. Even people in the gang knew that, on many occasions, Uncle Kun's meaning represented Master Shen's meaning.

Therefore, Su Cheng was quite shocked when Uncle Kun appeared and came to find him in person.

"Master Shen wants to see you," Uncle Kun said, without uttering a single unnecessary word, and directly gestured for Su Cheng to follow.

Su Cheng followed, but his mind was quickly analyzing the situation.

Since Xu Mao introduced him to Master Shen, he has made continuous efforts and has indeed made a real impression on Master Shen. However, it is still hard to say whether he has gained Master Shen's trust. After all, this man, who is even younger than Xu Mao, is not as simple as he appears. He is the real boss of this criminal kingdom.

But now, Uncle Kun, the most trusted person by Master Shen's side, has appeared, and he even came specifically to take him to see Master Shen. What does this mean?

Could it be that he has a new task to be assigned?

Judging from the scale of this event, it couldn't be a small matter. Perhaps this was the key step for him to gain Master Shen's trust. Su Cheng quickly followed.
