Watching the two argue endlessly, Lu Beichen chuckled helplessly.

"Alright, that's enough. You two don't need to argue anymore."

"Setting up a feng shui arrangement is no easy task. Let's wait until the full moon night of the 15th of this month before taking action."

"Prepare all necessary items during this period."

"Gather more valuable intelligence."

Lu Beichen gave instructions to everyone.

His arrangements were well-received.

……

In the following days, Lu Beichen and his entourage kept a very low profile.

They were just like ordinary Chinese tourists.

Not a single flaw was revealed.

They frequently visited the valley, and over time, the staff became familiar with them. The valley staff had no suspicions about Lu Beichen and his group's frequent visits and never suspected that they intended to explore the underground.

Compared to unfounded suspicion.

They prefer to believe that these Chinese people were attracted by the novelty and beauty of the place.

Seeing this, they couldn't help but sigh inwardly at how wealthy these Chinese people were.

"I wonder if Brother Lu Beichen and the others will be able to complete their mission safely."

"Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do to help."

Inside the noodle shop, Ma Li, who had already fallen asleep, suddenly spoke as if in a dream.

Ma Li has been in poor working condition for the past few days and always seems restless.

Maya noticed her husband's unusual behavior.

Although I felt bitter inside, I didn't say much.

Hearing that her husband was still thinking about this matter in his dreams, Maya could no longer bear it.

She knew that her husband was a man of deep affection and loyalty.

He himself was no different.

But everything must be done in moderation; they don't owe Lu Beichen much.

The intelligence provided this time is valuable enough to repay past favors.

Moreover, Lu Beichen had clearly stated at the time that the favor had already been settled. Therefore, Ma Li really didn't need to be so fixated on it, to the point that it affected his normal life.

"What are you thinking about all day?"

"Can't you wake up? We've done everything we could."

"Worrying now is of no use, especially if it is noticed by someone with ulterior motives."

"It will only cause trouble."

Maya did not directly blame Mali.

Instead, they patiently explained the reasons.

These words made perfect sense, and the previously confused Ma Li was struck as if by a thunderbolt. He realized that he had indeed overthought things, and even been somewhat presumptuous.

Why should Brother Lu Beichen need him to worry about him like this?

Everything that needed to be done has been done; they don't need to worry about the rest.

Moreover, he could clearly sense Lu Beichen's attitude when he spoke that day.

Lu Beichen didn't want to disturb the couple's peaceful life, but he needed to obtain important intelligence, and he had no other acquaintances in the area. After all, when he was on missions in the past, he was just a fleeting visitor, and he never had the opportunity to make local friends.

“Grandpa had already taken care of everything for us. The intelligence he left behind is extremely important, but it is also full of danger for us. If Grandpa’s identity is exposed, our peaceful life will be disrupted, and we may not even be able to continue to stand in Myanmar. This is why Lu Beichen and the others left immediately after they learned the intelligence. You should understand that it’s not that I don’t want you to worry.”

Maya only talks like this when she's talking about Mali.

He was always very sparing with his words when dealing with outsiders.

If something can be explained in a single sentence, don't waste your breath.

"I understand, it was my fault. I will live a peaceful life from now on."

"Since Brother Lu Beichen doesn't need our help, we can't help him either."

"But if they really have something to ask for, we must not refuse."

"Although we saved them, the kindness they showed us was equally profound."

Mali's words made Maya sigh inwardly.

Before they got married, he often felt helpless about Ma Li's behavior.

Taking everything too seriously, always thinking of others but neglecting one's own needs.

But it is precisely this kind of horsepower.

It is precisely these characteristics, which have both advantages and disadvantages, that make it possible.

That's what made Maya fall deeply in love with him, and he accepted both her strengths and weaknesses with joy.

……

“There’s something fishy about this noodle shop. The owner was specifically requested by China to be placed in a suitable location by the authorities. Now I have reason to suspect that the owner is secretly colluding with the Chinese.”

"Even if they haven't done anything out of line recently."

"Even though we haven't found conclusive evidence yet."

"But I believe that valuable intelligence can be extracted from them."

Kim Dae-doo gave these instructions to his subordinates.

He planned to send people to arrest the noodle shop owner and torture him to extract a confession.

This move may be too ruthless.

But it was insignificant to him.

Better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free.

Moreover, the noodle shop owner has such a special status.

During this sensitive period, he naturally wouldn't let it go easily.

The consequences of his actions will not have a significant impact on him.

He simply ordered his men to impersonate members of the Wolf Fang or Scorpion organizations.

If something really happens, they will take the blame; it has nothing to do with me.

"Is this a bad move? If China finds out we've targeted their friends, the consequences will be unimaginable," Mu Xixuan asked worriedly beside him.

However, the order had already been issued.

The subordinate who received the order had already left the main hall.

This shows that he didn't take it seriously.

"You're overthinking it. If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who will know this is related to Myanmar? This is all the work of Wolf Fang and Scorpion, what does it have to do with us?"

They are already adept at using framing and slander.

Whenever trouble arises that is difficult or affects their reputation, they can easily shift the blame to the Scorpion Gang and the Wolf Fang Gang. These two organizations are mostly aware that they are taking the blame for certain powerful figures in Myanmar, yet they never complain. It is precisely because of their tacit cooperation that Jin Dadou and others allow these two small organizations to run rampant within Myanmar, instead of taking action to eradicate them.

As they previously stated, the Wolf Fang Gang and the Scorpion Gang still have value. Eliminating them would be of no benefit to Kim Tae-tau and other high-ranking Burmese officials.

Rather than letting a few more uncontrolled stray dogs in the territory.

It would be better to train two obedient, vicious dogs yourself.

Aside from the three organizations—Wolf Fang, Scorpion, and Blood Moon—the remaining smaller groups can be used as bargaining chips to boost political achievements. On the surface, Myanmar's security situation does appear chaotic, and the authorities seem powerless against these organizations, but in reality, everything is under control—this chaos is merely a deliberate facade they have created.

The situation is becoming increasingly chaotic.

The more it confuses the public, the more it can mislead people.

The more turbulent the situation, the more they can profit from it.

It should be noted that not all of them are utterly depraved. A considerable number of them abhor evil deeds, and these upright individuals would hinder their accumulation of wealth. Therefore, they can only operate in secret, and everything must be done discreetly.

Even those who uphold justice suspect them of colluding with underground organizations.

Without conclusive evidence, there is nothing that can be done.

Ma Li and Maya never expected that they had already come under someone's watchful eye. Even though Lu Ran hadn't come to gather intelligence, they were still destined to face this calamity. The seeds of their fate had been sown long ago, making them a target for certain forces in Myanmar. Whether they could survive this crisis depended entirely on fate.

If fortune smiles upon them, they may find themselves doomed.

The next morning, Mali and Maya prepared to open for business as usual.

To their surprise, they found a note written in Chinese characters, next to which was an inconspicuous wooden box. Seeing this, the couple looked at each other, filled with doubt.

What is this? Could it be something a guest left behind?
"Should we open it and take a look?"

Ma Li cast an inquiring glance.

Maya nodded slightly: "Open it and take a look. We need to know whose it is."

"If a guest left it behind, we'll wait for the owner to come and retrieve it."

She was not after the treasure that might be hidden in the box.

She has never had any interest in such ill-gotten gains.

They only want what they deserve.

For example, wealth earned through manual labor.

The wooden box was opened, revealing neatly stacked cash inside, roughly estimated to be at least a million yuan. Even more astonishing was that it was all Chinese currency. Upon seeing such a huge sum, the two were immediately dazzled and mesmerized.

I have never seen such astonishing wealth in my life.

Ma Li unconsciously swallowed, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

With this huge sum of money, everything will be much more convenient from now on.

Even the most principled person would find it impossible to remain unmoved by such a large sum of money. Only a saint—or perhaps a complete idiot—could be so indifferent to such wealth. With this money, life would be so much easier. However, this windfall also made them uneasy: money is tempting, but not so easy to obtain. It might be a hot potato; whoever possessed such a large sum was no ordinary person. If they dared to embezzle it, the consequences would be unpredictable.

The two looked at each other and both understood the worry in each other's eyes.

They were not blinded by money.

"Do you have their contact information? Such a large sum of money is really making me uneasy."

Maya forced a calm smile.

He then picked up the note.

They had some knowledge of Chinese characters.

Although not an expert, the translation function of communication devices is sufficient to interpret the contents of the paper. In this technologically advanced era, language conversion is commonplace.

"Look at you, so pathetic! Can't you be as calm as me?"

"And you're the one who's really lacking self-control, the one who's accusing others first."

"Nonsense! What's this little bit of money? I'll definitely earn you much more in the future, believe it or not?"

The couple were playfully bickering.

While translating text on her phone, she was spouting cloying sweet nothings.

It's not advisable to stay long...

This is the translation of the first few words.

"Do you believe me? I certainly don't, you blindly confident fool."

Ma Li did not refute Maya's teasing.

It wouldn't be wrong to say he was blindly confident, but this confidence was only shown in front of his wife. He never boasted in front of outsiders, but only in front of Maya did he yearn to show off—hence his frequent boasting.

Can be imagined.

Most of the promises he made were not kept.

"Whether you believe it or not, I firmly believe it."

……

[Danger, leave immediately—Lu Ran left.]

After translating the entire note, Maya and Mali's expressions changed drastically. Lu Ran had stated in the note that the money was for their travel expenses and urged them to leave as soon as possible. Myanmar was no longer safe.

Lu Ran provided a detailed explanation.

The main reason for asking them to leave was that the two had ties to China.

Even if Lu Ran doesn't come to gather intelligence, they will still be targeted by certain forces in Myanmar.

Therefore, they continued to stay.

It's better to withdraw as soon as possible.

The card detailed many points, and Maya, not daring to delay, immediately burned it. If this item were to fall into foreign hands, the consequences would be unimaginable. Lu Ran had already prepared customs clearance documents for them, so they could choose a place to settle after arriving in China. Of course, they would first be received by the military upon entry.

After all, they provided extremely valuable intelligence this time.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he made a great contribution.

"Honey, should we leave now? Before we go, should we transfer the ownership of the shop and sell the house too?" Ma Li's tone betrayed his inner conflict. This shop was quite valuable; selling it could fetch at least a million. Giving it up now was something he was truly reluctant to do. But the situation was urgent, and Ma Li knew that there was no time to lose.

To risk one's life for money and material possessions is truly a losing proposition. Neither Maya nor Mali were greedy people, and they were naturally decisive when faced with a choice.

"Are you crazy? You absolutely cannot sell the property now. The most important thing is to get out as soon as possible."

"If we suddenly sell off our assets when business is booming, won't the higher-ups become suspicious? It will be difficult to leave then. We mustn't let Lu Ran's good intentions go to waste."

Maya was filled with gratitude towards Lu Ran.

She believed that Lu Ran was not exaggerating.

A little analysis reveals that everything Lu Ran said is true.

They were able to own this shop entirely thanks to the intervention of the Chinese side.

The relationship between Myanmar and China is now undergoing a subtle shift.

Under these circumstances, it is understandable that he was arrested by extremists.

As for whether this will affect the credibility of major powers?

Hehe, there's absolutely no need to worry.

Myanmar can send others to carry out the task without having to appear in an official capacity.

"My wife is so thoughtful."

Ma Li even had the mind to joke around.

"Chen Lin, we're entrusting them to your care. Please make sure their safety is ensured."

"They provided me with crucial intelligence this time, and they also offered me shelter during the last operation. These people... are completely trustworthy."

He seemed worried that Chen Lin might overthink things.

Lu Ran then added this last sentence.

The communication abruptly ended, a hint of helplessness flashing across Lu Ran's face. Chen Lin's professionalism was increasingly worrying; she was even letting personal emotions interfere with her work. Just now, she had actually yelled at someone through the communicator, saying that one should be careful when out in public, and that at times like this, one should take care of oneself first, why meddle in other people's business? Was this the kind of talk a communications officer should have? Such a work attitude was truly questionable. Of course, this was just a joke; Lu Ran would never actually report Chen Lin.

She was just overly concerned about his safety.

"It's infuriating! They're always thinking about these trivial things. What time is it now and they're still worrying about others? Can't they think more about their own safety?" Chen Lin complained angrily.

This unusual behavior greatly surprised his colleagues.

This colleague is obviously new.

Is it permissible to have such strong personal emotions during work hours?

"You were clearly flirting with your lover just now, weren't you? Your words were full of concern, so why the harsh words? Isn't that a bit too much?"

He pondered to himself, filled with curiosity.

However, he did not voice his thoughts.

"Chen Lin is talking to her boyfriend again. It's really enviable that people in our line of work can find partners so quickly. We work in the same place, so how come there's such a big difference between us?"

"Everyone else has found a partner, and we're still just sitting here watching."

"Stop talking, I'm burning with jealousy."

During lunch break, many colleagues were talking about Chen Lin's relationship.

Everyone was already used to this, except for the newcomer Wang Ling, who was particularly curious.

Although he was pondering it in his heart, he remained outwardly calm and composed.

Chen Lin's excellence and beauty are widely acknowledged.

How could a man who could make her care so much be an ordinary person?
To be honest, Wang Ling was quite interested in this, and she also wanted to see what the man was like. Coincidentally, Chen Lin was about to change shifts and rest, so Wang Ling felt a surge of anticipation. (End of Chapter)
