The day quietly passed, and the night slowly climbed up the sky.
As night fell, Lin Jie's phone rang.
Ye Qiu startled awake, pulled out his phone, and answered Lin Jie's call: "Come downstairs."
Lin Jie's simple words were heard, and Ye Qiu didn't say anything. Instead, he got up and went to the bathroom, then turned on the faucet, letting the cold water flow.
With water on his face, he felt much more awake, looking at the mirror, seeing his youthful face gradually mature, a glint of brilliance flashed in Ye Qiu's eyes.
"Today's test by Xu Batian is bound to be dangerous."
Ye Qiu really did not expect that he came to YN to help Xu Lei recover her memory, but somehow ended up working undercover for the Ministry of State Security.
Moreover, the undercover role was the biggest drug lord in YN. Ye Qiu even wondered if his luck was just too good, how this opportunity could have landed on him.
"Not sure if there will be any lives lost today."
Ye Qiu had a bad premonition in his heart, he felt that something might happen today, and someone might die. His premonitions have always been extremely accurate, thus Ye Qiu's brows furrowed at this moment, yet he did not think about backing down.
Since he had promised Xu Long to help the country eliminate Xu Batian, the big drug lord, now that he was already involved, no matter how many hardships, he would face them.
And the key thing is, he couldn't withdraw even if he wanted to now, for Xu Lei's sake, he had to continue.
"Although Sister Lei might be Xu Batian's daughter, as long as this isn't confirmed, and until Sister Lei is out of Xu Batian's control, I can't leave, until I bring Sister Lei away from Xu Batian."
Ye Qiu took a deep breath, looked at himself in the mirror, and then stepped out.
When he reached downstairs, he saw a black Cayenne parked at the intersection. Without thinking, Ye Qiu knew this was Lin Jie's car.
As he approached the car, the door was opened, and Lin Jie said to Ye Qiu: "Get in."
After getting in the car, Ye Qiu looked at Lin Jie and asked: "Are we using this car for the delivery tonight?"
Lin Jie nodded: "That's right."
"Where to? How much product are we delivering?"
Ye Qiu was very curious about these.
Lin Jie said: "Xu Batian wants to test you, naturally by having you deliver a large shipment. The delivery location will be prompted on the GPS later, and you just need to follow the instructions."
Ye Qiu nodded.
At this time, Lin Jie looked at Ye Qiu, hesitated a bit and said: "Be careful tonight."
Seeing the seriousness in Lin Jie's expression, Ye Qiu's heart tightened, and he asked: "What's going on? Is it very dangerous tonight?"
Lin Jie nodded, taking a deep breath: "I don't know what Xu Batian is thinking, whether he wants to test you or kill you, but tonight you're delivering goods worth five billion, that's quite a sum."
"Five billion, that's a lot!"
Ye Qiu was apparently shocked by the number: "What's he trying to do?"
Lin Jie shook his head: "I don't know either, and the key thing is, Xu Batian has already leaked the news of you delivering the goods tonight."
"What?"
Ye Qiu was stunned, then frowned: "What's he trying to do, is it intentional?"
"That's right, it's intentional." Lin Jie said: "His purpose is to have all the ill-intentioned people show up tonight, including the police."
Ye Qiu frowned.
Lin Jie said: "You need to know, five billion isn't a small number, many people have their eyes on this shipment, and although Xu Batian is extremely powerful in YN, he has quite a few adversaries and rivals. Usually, those rivals and adversaries try all sorts of ways to snatch the goods, and once the news is leaked, those people will definitely make a move, so your situation tonight is not optimistic."
Ye Qiu fell silent, a mysterious glint flashed in his eyes.
He didn't know who Xu Batian's rivals and adversaries were, but anyone who could be or dared to be his rival had to be no simple character.
Without some ability, they would probably have been wiped out by Xu Batian long ago.
Therefore, hearing how difficult tonight would be, Ye Qiu was speechless, not understanding what Xu Batian was trying to do.
"Does he want to kill me?"
Ye Qiu was speechless.
Lin Jie said: "Doesn't look like it, if he wanted to kill you, he would've done it at headquarters, not risking five billion in goods as a gamble, after all, in his eyes you might not be worth five billion."
Ye Qiu looked at Lin Jie.
Lin Jie shrugged: "I'm speaking the truth, Xu Batian is a businessman, and a cunning one at that, so he assigns monetary value to each of his useful subordinates."
Ye Qiu nodded.
Lin Jie said: "Do you have the confidence to pass the test tonight?"
Ye Qiu smirked: "Right now, I should be thinking about how to survive, let's put the matter of passing the test aside for now."
Finished speaking, Ye Qiu thought for a moment, then asked: "By the way, what's the police's stance tonight?"
"What do you mean by stance?" Lin Jie asked.
Ye Qiu frowned and said: "Shouldn't the police cooperate with me?"
"Cooperate with you?" Lin Jie shook his head, looking at Ye Qiu as if he were an idiot: "You're undercover for the drug lord, and the police have no knowledge of your existence, how could they cooperate with you?"
"The police don't even know I exist? Doesn't that mean the police will arrest me tonight and even shoot at me?"
Ye Qiu was incredibly angry at the prospect of facing all of Xu Batian's enemies and adversaries tonight, and then, after hearing Lin Jie's words, having to face the police as well.
"Hehe, of course, Xu Batian also informed the police tonight." Lin Jie said.
"Is he an idiot..."
Ye Qiu couldn't help but curse.
Lin Jie nodded: "I think so."
Ye Qiu stared at Lin Jie for a while, unsure of what to say, then after a moment's silence, he said: "I need to call Xu Long, I don't want to lose my life just being an undercover."
Lin Jie said: "Are you scared?"
Ye Qiu frowned, then nodded: "If it were you, you'd be scared too."
Hearing Ye Qiu admit it, Lin Jie also smiled and said: "I suggest you don't call Xu Long, since things have reached this point, just go for it."
"Damn, it's easy for you to say, tonight not only Xu Batian's rivals and opponents are against me, but even the police will arrest me, I might run out of heads to lose."
Saying this, looking at Lin Jie's smiling face, Ye Qiu felt more infuriated and said: "Aren't you undercover too, do the police know you?"
Upon hearing Ye Qiu's words, Lin Jie suddenly laughed and shook his head: "Like you, the police don't know me either."
Ye Qiu was stunned and said: "So you're saying, if the police target you, you'll also be caught, or if it's you tonight, the police will shoot you too?"
Lin Jie grinned radiantly: "That's right."
Ye Qiu said: "Heh, this undercover job is just great."
