"Is everything you said true?" The amount of information was too much for Bai Zilin to bear. After a long silence, she finally looked up in disbelief.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you." Ye Xingchen glanced at her.
"I..." Bai Zilin was a little embarrassed. She walked up to Ye Xingchen and tugged at his clothes.
She acted like a little girl who had done something wrong, saying in a spoiled tone: "I'm sorry, I didn't know, I didn't mean to be angry with you, I was just too anxious."
"Hmm, didn't you just say you must have been blind to fall for someone like me?" Ye Xingchen glanced at her.
"No, no, I'm not blind, I didn't mistake you for someone else." Bai Zilin quickly shook her head in denial, then smiled through her tears: "Don't be angry, I was wrong."
"Judging from your performance just now, you should be glad you met me on your first day as an undercover agent." Ye Xingchen sighed helplessly and said, "Otherwise, your identity would have been exposed before tonight."
"There's nothing we can do; the team simply can't spare any more manpower," Bai Zilin sighed. "Our operation was originally aimed at Jin Xiang, but once we got here, we realized that the situation was far more serious than we had imagined."
"You underestimated Jin Xiang's strength," Ye Xingchen said. "You think the son of the Great City Lord of Jinluo City is someone to be trifled with?"
“But this person has been developing the domestic drug market, and we have zero tolerance for this, so we launched this operation.” Bai Zilin said, “We originally thought that with the cooperation of the military in Yushan, the operation would go smoothly, but we did not expect that there would be almost no progress in two months.”
"Let's say it again, the operation is canceled. I guarantee that after this month, the threat from this direction will be gone," Ye Xingchen said.
"Ye Xingchen, you're just trying to be a hero." Bai Zilin said, somewhat annoyed.
"Just consider me playing the hero." Ye Xingchen glanced at her: "But with your intelligence, you shouldn't be an undercover agent. You wear all your emotions on your sleeve. Do you really think Liu Kun is a pushover?"
Bai Zilin was speechless. Indeed, she was not suitable to be an undercover agent.
Just as Ye Xingchen said, all her emotions were written on her face. Those people weren't fools; if it weren't for Ye Xingchen today, she might have been exposed directly.
“Then I can’t leave. You’ve already said I’m your woman. If I suddenly disappear, Liu Kun will become suspicious,” Bai Zilin said.
"Then you can stay here quietly and be my pet canary," Ye Xingchen said with a smile.
"Who wants to be your little canary?" Bai Zilin blushed, instinctively rejecting his words, but thinking back, it didn't seem so bad to be Ye Xingchen's little canary.
"See? Ha, women, they're all hypocritical." Ye Xingchen glanced at her: "They're clearly happy, but they still have to argue."
"Can you say less?" Bai Zilin felt ashamed: "When are you going to rescue Lao Huang?"
"That's about enough, let's go." Ye Xingchen checked the time, then led Bai Zilin out the door.
The surrounding Jinshan District is an isolated city with a sparse population, so wild animals, especially packs of wolves, often roam the surrounding mountains.
They took her out of the city and then to an extremely remote mountainous area.
This place has a very gloomy atmosphere; it seems that people are often dumped here.
In sparsely populated border areas, it's perfectly normal for someone to die.
Finally, under a tree, they found Old Huang, who had been abandoned there.
In places like this, wolves roam in packs. If a person is left here overnight, they will be devoured until not even bones are left.
When Ye Xingchen and Bai Zilin arrived, there were already more than a dozen wolves roaming around in the distance.
When Lao Huang was dragged away, Ye Xingchen cast a spell in mid-air, firstly to locate his position, and secondly to intimidate the wild beasts so that they would not dare to come forward.
The wolves had been lingering nearby for a long time, but intimidated by the power of the talisman, they dared not come closer and could only watch from a distance.
Ye Xingchen chased away the wolves, helped Old Huang up, and then quickly inserted several needles.
After a few injections, Lao Huang had a faint heartbeat.
"Notify your people to bring Lao Huang back." Ye Xingchen removed the golden needles.
"I've already notified them," Bai Zilin said. "The location has been confirmed. Shall we take Lao Huang there now?"
“Yes, this place isn’t entirely safe. Let’s leave first.” Ye Xingchen nodded and helped Old Huang up as they left.
An off-road vehicle was already waiting in front of a grove of trees, accompanied by a doctor.
"Zilin, what's going on?" A man came up to them. Ye Xingchen put Lao Huang on the medical cart: "He was shot twice, but not in vital areas. I've already treated him."
"Those people were too ruthless before, he was seriously injured. After he wakes up, have him take this medicine, and he'll be fine in a few days." Ye Xingchen took out the medicine and handed it to the other person.
The leader took the medicine from Ye Xingchen's hand and then looked at Bai Zilin: "And who is this?"
“He is Ye Xingchen.” Bai Zilin’s face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head.
"Understood. My name is Li Wei, and I'm the head of the anti-drug task force this time." The other person suddenly realized and extended his hand to shake hands with Ye Xingchen.
"Hello, Captain Li," Ye Xingchen said. "I suggest we cancel this operation."
"Cancel?" Li Wei was slightly taken aback, then shook his head: "It can't be canceled. The task force had already prepared for this half a year ago."
"If Jin Xiang can be brought down, it will effectively deter criminals and reduce the pressure on our anti-drug colleagues in China. If we give up halfway, wouldn't that mean we don't have confidence in ourselves?"
“The situation is different.” Ye Xingchen shook his head and said, “Jin Xiang’s surname is Jin. He is the son of the city lord of Jinluo City. Behind him stands the entire Jinluo City.”
"You all know what kind of place that is, right? Do you really think a single anti-drug task force can compete with Jin Luocheng?"
Li Wei's expression was somewhat solemn. He pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Ye, these are things I didn't expect either, but we must let them see China's determination to combat drugs."
"Our anti-drug team has sent over a hundred people this time, working with our agents who are operating overseas. Even if we can't bring Jin Xiang to justice this time, we will at least put a blow to their arrogance. We are all ready to die for them."
"Ready to die?" Ye Xingchen sighed. "When you said those words, you should have thought about the consequences, right? Who doesn't have family? Who doesn't have friends and relatives? And even if you bring down Jin Xiang, firstly, you'll face Jin Luocheng's crazy retaliation, and secondly, the drug network you've come into contact with is just the tip of the iceberg. It's not worth it."
