"White Shark?"
When Lin Jie uttered these two words, Ye Qiu's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show any expression on his face. Instead, he stomped hard on Lin Jie's chest: "White Shark, I'm the damn crocodile, you trying to throw a code at me?"
"Uh? Did I guess wrong?"
Seeing Ye Qiu's fierce look, Lin Jie's heart tightened, thinking, "This isn't right, the captain clearly said he would come today, and that guy called 'Mongrel' is supposed to have great driving skills and is very strong overall. Did I mess up?"
Lin Jie's true identity is as an agent of the Ministry of State Security stationed in YN, working under Xu Long, and is an undercover member in this mission.
To dismantle Xu Batian's underground force and drug cartel, Lin Jie had already infiltrated the YN convoy with his superb driving skills and had reached the position of vice-captain. He had maintained this undercover identity for over a decade, keeping a spotless cover.
No one would have guessed that Lin Jie is part of the Ministry of State Security, and Xu Batian least of all would have thought that someone he meticulously selected had been plotting against him for ten years.
At this moment, as Lin Jie looked at the fierce look in Ye Qiu's eyes, his mind raced. He thought about what to do if Ye Qiu wasn't a new undercover agent. Once his identity was exposed, his life might be the least of concerns; the main issue was that it would jeopardize the entire mission.
As a member of the Ministry of State Security, Lin Jie had long considered personal life and death lightly, placing national security as his top priority, even more important than anything else. So, at this moment, what he thought of was not his own life and death but the consequences of his identity being uncovered, leading to the ruin of this mission, meticulously planned for years and on the verge of success, due to his misjudgment.
"Why aren't you speaking? Are you really an undercover sent by the police?"
Just then, Ye Qiu spoke again, making Lin Jie's pupils shrink.
"Heh, if you don't speak, I'll take it as your admission. Alright then, I'll take you to see Big Brother Xu and see what he has to say."
With that, Ye Qiu was about to drag Lin Jie away. At that moment, a murderous intent flashed across Lin Jie's eyes, and he was about to strike at Ye Qiu, but how could he be Ye Qiu's match? Ye Qiu was clearly prepared, blocking with both arms and then viciously kicking his chest.
Bang.
Lin Jie's body instantly flew backward, hitting the wall and spitting out a mouthful of blood, weakly kneeling on the floor.
"Heh, turns out you're an undercover sent by the police."
Ye Qiu walked towards Lin Jie: "Hmph, seems like I'm really lucky. Catching an undercover on my first day here, Big Brother Xu will definitely put me to good use."
"Ah, it's over."
Lin Jie sighed, knowing that if Ye Qiu dragged him to Big Brother Xu, with Xu Batian's methods, he would definitely expose him.
"Ah, my country, I'm sorry; Captain Xu Long, I'm sorry; I couldn't complete the mission."
Lin Jie silently closed his eyes, preparing to bite his tongue and commit suicide. He would rather die than betray even a tiny bit of his country's interests.
But just as he was about to bite his tongue, Ye Qiu punched him hard in the face. Lin Jie angrily opened his eyes, glaring at Ye Qiu: "What the hell do you want?"
"Mongrel," Ye Qiu smiled slightly.
Hearing this, Lin Jie's pupils shrank, and he fainted.
...
On the sofa, with his face and body wrapped in bandages, Lin Jie raised his beer and clinked it with Ye Qiu's before saying, "Damn, you really hit hard, almost killed me."
Ye Qiu apologized, "Actually, when I heard you say the White Shark code, I knew you were the undercover Xu mentioned."
"Then why did you still go so hard on me, damn near killed me," Lin Jie said.
Ye Qiu said, "First, I wanted to test if you were really who you claimed to be. What if the previous White Shark was killed by you and you were a fake, playing a game with Big Brother Xu, waiting for me to fall into the trap."
"You're quite smart," Lin Jie chuckled, "and second?"
"Second, I just really wanted to beat you up."
Poof.
Upon hearing Ye Qiu's words, Lin Jie sprayed the beer he had just drunk all over, then looked angrily at Ye Qiu: "What do you mean, is this revenge?"
Speaking, Lin Jie helplessly said, "Actually, everything I did before was entirely because of my role's requirements. Do you think I enjoyed doing those disgusting things?"
Ye Qiu shook his head: "I don't care what you do to others, but you shouldn't have touched Xu Lei. I hit you entirely to stand up for Lei Jie."
"Xu Lei?"
Ye Qiu's mention of Xu Lei only ignited Lin Jie's anger, and he grabbed Ye Qiu by the collar: "You have the nerve to say that! If you hadn't left Xiaolei by the side of the road that day, how could Big Brother Xu have captured her?"
Ye Qiu shook off Lin Jie's hand, saying, "First of all, I didn't abandon Xu Lei Jie. That day, I was racing Xu Jiao, and Lei Jie said she was unwell and wanted to return to the hotel. I didn't know she fainted by the roadside."
Seeing the apologetic look in Ye Qiu's eyes, he continued, "However, it is indeed my fault."
Seeing Ye Qiu admit his mistake, Lin Jie's anger subsided significantly.
At this point, Ye Qiu asked, "By the way, tell me how Xu Lei Jie was abducted by Big Brother Xu."
Lin Jie said, "That day I was out delivering goods when I saw Xu Lei Jie fainted by the road. I had my men take her to the hospital, but I didn't expect one of them to inform Big Brother Xu. Upon hearing this, Big Brother Xu ordered her to be brought back."
Saying this, Lin Jie felt both anger and worry: "Who knows how Xiaolei is faring now, and what Big Brother Xu might do to her."
Ye Qiu looked at the genuine concern in Lin Jie's eyes and couldn't help but ask, "It seems like you and Xu Lei Jie knew each other well?"
Lin Jie glanced at Ye Qiu, hesitated, then nodded, "We more than know each other, we grew up in the same village, essentially childhood sweethearts."
Hearing this, Tang Feng frowned, and Lin Jie smiled, "There's no need to frown; it's the truth. Back in the village, everyone said Xu Lei and I were a pair, but later, due to my mistakes, Xu Lei left the village on her own."
"What did you do back then?" Ye Qiu asked.
Lin Jie was stunned for a moment, then fell silent, clearly hesitant.
"Tell me, what did you do to Xu Lei Jie to make her leave home at such a young age?"
Lin Jie looked at Ye Qiu, then quickly shook his head, obviously finding the topic difficult to discuss.
Ye Qiu's face soured. Seeing Lin Jie's hesitation made it clear he hadn't done anything good.
Frowning, his face grew grim as he grabbed Lin Jie, pressing him onto the sofa, ready to swing again: "Speak up. If you don't, I'll smash your face today."
