After all, Zheng Chong and Haozi had been following Su Cheng for a long time. The three of them had been together all along. To make Haozi believe that Su Cheng was an undercover agent, he would rather believe that he was blind.

What's the difference between being with an undercover agent for so many years and being blind?

He's even worse off than a blind person!

"Chong, say something!" Haozi instinctively sought Zheng Chong's approval when the others didn't react.

Zheng Chong is much smarter than him. If Su Cheng were an undercover agent, Zheng Chong should have discovered it long ago.

But Zheng Chong didn't react at all.

"No, how is this possible?" Haozi looked at everyone, finding it utterly absurd.

"You're quite composed," Xu Mao sneered.

Su Cheng remained completely open and honest, offering no explanation, and feigning ignorance with a smile: "Brother Mao, I don't understand what you're saying."

Zheng Chong stood behind Su Cheng, his suspicious gaze fixed on him.

Just then, someone else barged in.

"Brother Mao, they're coming! If we don't leave now, it'll be too late!"

Even if the undercover agent escaped, how far could he go?

Xu Mao got to where he is today because of his brains. He knows that running away won't solve the problem, especially since he was tricked by Su Cheng and he really can't swallow this insult.

The stalemate continued until Zhang Yufeng and Zhao Yunshan barged in with their men.

"Bang—" The door was kicked open.

The moment Su Yueya and Su Cheng's eyes met, she instantly recognized Su Cheng as Lu Zhengjun. Her intense heartbeat drowned out all other sounds, as if she could only hear her own heartbeat and see the person she longed for day and night.

Although Su Cheng was still wearing a human skin mask, Su Yueya was absolutely certain that he was Lu Zhengjun, no doubt about it.

I never expected to be so lucky. I was randomly matched into a breakthrough team and actually encountered Lu Zhengjun ahead of schedule.

He's still alive, that's wonderful!

Now that the two have met, and Lu Zhengjun is still alive, as long as Su Yueya is here, she is confident that Lu Zhengjun will be safe and sound. Even if the situation is dangerous, she can instantly bring Lu Zhengjun into the space.

Very good!

The two were truly a perfect couple; their tacit understanding was self-evident. After their eyes met, they both chose to look away, pretending that nothing had happened.

Lu Zhengjun was overwhelmed with emotions, but he could not reveal his identity now, nor could he expose anything, since Xu Mao and the others had not yet been brought under control and there was a risk of unforeseen circumstances.

However, Zhang Yufeng and Zhao Yunshan's eyes betrayed Su Cheng, because their subtle reactions after seeing Su Cheng's face were completely different from when they saw others.

With Xu Mao's keen eye, he immediately confirmed it based on this alone.

Zheng Chong was also confirmed to be infected.

He was standing right behind Su Cheng, the person closest to him, so the instant he realized what was happening, Zheng Chong took the knife and placed it against Su Cheng's neck.

Su Yueya: "!!!"

She gripped her palms tightly, preventing herself from rushing forward.

"What are you doing?" Su Cheng asked with a smile, looking completely calm and composed, unlike someone holding a knife to his neck and whose life was threatened.

"Chong, why are you holding a knife—" Haozi blurted out again, looking silly.

"Shut up!" Zheng Chong glared at Haozi and gritted his teeth. "You've been sold out and you're still going to pay for it? Did you forget your brain?"

This was the first time Su Cheng had spoken since Zhang Yufeng and his men barged in.

"What are they doing?"

When Su Cheng spoke, Zhao Yunshan's expression changed noticeably. He thought to himself that since his undercover identity had already been exposed, it wouldn't make much of a difference if he took a few more glances now.

Moreover, based on those words and that voice alone, he felt compelled to take a closer look at Su Cheng. He increasingly felt...

Haozi, Zheng Chong, and Su Cheng have been together for a long time. If Haozi trusts Su Cheng, then his trust in Zheng Chong goes beyond that. He even treats Zheng Chong as his own brother, even though they are not related by blood. They have been together for a much longer period of time.

So when Zheng Chong said those words, Haozi believed them instantly, though he dared not believe them.

"Brother Cheng, is it really you?"

Haozi is a notorious thug who has seen all kinds of bloodshed, but when he asked Su Cheng for confirmation, his voice was trembling.

Su Cheng remained silent, not uttering a word, nor responding to Haozi's gaze.

"Su Cheng, look at me! You fucking lied to me for so long—" Haozi was furious and was about to rush over and do something to Su Cheng.

But Zheng Chong stopped him.

Zheng Chong is indeed a smart man. Now that he knows Su Cheng is a ghost, it means he's in cahoots with these people. He can't afford to die so easily now.

If you're dead, you're nothing, utterly useless. But if you're alive, you might become a bargaining chip to restrain these people.

"Don't move," Zheng Chong snapped, stopping Haozi from running.

"You son of a bitch, Su Cheng, are you even human? I treated you like a brother, we went through so many trials and tribulations together, what do you take me for? Do you think I'm an idiot?!" Haozi couldn't do anything to Su Cheng, so he could only get angry and curse.

What's wrong? Can't I even kill Su Cheng, or vent my anger by cursing him a bit?

Su Cheng remained silent, showing no reaction even to Haozi's furious outburst—it was all destined.

He didn't deny that Haozi had saved him before, after all, the three of them had been through a lot together. But some things were destined to end from the beginning. He was an undercover agent, and he was never a true brother to Zheng Chong and Haozi. Their positions spoke for themselves.

Therefore, Su Cheng understood Hao Zi. He didn't want to say anything more that would hurt Hao Zi's feelings, but in the end, he would still arrest Hao Zi.

"Aren't you going to say anything?" Amid Haozi's shouts, Xu Mao slowly spoke, his cold gaze scrutinizing Su Cheng, the man he had never seen through before, the one who had ultimately fallen into his hands. "Su Cheng, how did you manage to escape each and every step of this journey?"

Su Cheng smiled. Now that things have come to this, is explaining really that important?

He answered, "Is it so that Xu Mao and the others can die in peace?"

But Xu Mao won't die. He has to be captured alive, and everyone in this room has to be captured alive.

Su Cheng was dissatisfied with being constantly questioned, and he had no interest in arguing. He glanced indifferently at Zhang Yufeng, who was in the lead.

"Aren't you going to make a move?" he asked.

The future is uncertain, so taking direct action to take control is the best option.

Zhang Yufeng subconsciously looked at the knife Zheng Chong was holding to Su Cheng's neck, but Su Cheng had already made up his mind. Would he, the dignified King of Soldiers Lu Zhengjun, be intimidated by a knife?

Before anyone could react, Su Cheng moved, grabbing Zheng Chong's wrist and restraining him.
