Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

She hoped to get in touch with the man.

The sudden notification caught her off guard.

Her superiors instructed her not to participate in the follow-up work; Chen Lin would be fully responsible for the task, with Chen Lin's long-time partner, Chen Fei, assisting her. This arrangement left Wang Ling quite frustrated.

It's perfectly reasonable for the other party to request full follow-up on the task.

After all, Chen Lin had worked with that man many times.

Having a liaison officer familiar with the situation would certainly facilitate the work. But why replace me? Why insist on having Chen Fei take her place? Could it be that my attention to that man has been noticed?
Chen Lin is trying to prevent her from getting close to her boyfriend.

Wang Ling's thoughts were in turmoil; perhaps this was a sign of a guilty conscience.

In fact, such a work arrangement is reasonable. Chen Fei and Chen Lin both have experience working with Lu Ran, and 24-hour uninterrupted communication allows for no mistakes, so there is nothing wrong with the superior's arrangement.

But Wang Ling was still unwilling to accept it.

Regardless of whether or not they could get in touch with that man,

Most importantly, she missed out on a valuable job opportunity.

If she could participate in a real combat mission, it would undoubtedly add a significant chapter to her resume. Unfortunately, a newcomer is still a newcomer; such an important task cannot be entrusted to someone new to the area. This involves a power struggle between two major forces, and is by no means a trivial matter.

"What's wrong? You look so worried."

"You're not planning something like this..."

Seeing Wang Ling's resentful and frustrated expression, a colleague cast a probing glance at her. This job adjustment was completely in accordance with regulations; there was really no need to hold a grudge like this.

"I……"

Wang Ling was about to pour out her grievances.

However, his words were cut off by his colleagues' subsequent conversation.

Finally, Wang Ling understood the whole story.

It turned out she had been overthinking things. Chen Lin hadn't meant any harm to her at all. This mission was indeed very difficult and couldn't possibly be entrusted to a new recruit.

Letting her participate would be an irresponsible decision.

If any mishap occurs during the mission,
Her career is likely to come to an end.

This is like having an intern perform a major surgery.

Therefore, it was perfectly normal for her to be replaced, and there was absolutely no need for her to be upset about it. After figuring this out, Wang Ling immediately smiled and apologized to her colleagues, skillfully defusing the emotional turmoil she had just experienced.

……

Inside the studio.

"Did you notice? That newcomer seems to have a crush on Lu Ran."

Chen Fei reminded the nonchalant Chen Lin beside her, "Shouldn't you be a little more careful?"

As a professional specializing in psychology,

It wasn't difficult for Chen Fei to understand Wang Ling's thoughts.

Chen Fei had a spirited air about her, and Chen Lin beside her exuded a similar aura. They were both colleagues and close friends, which was why they discussed such private topics.

"It doesn't matter, she poses no threat. Do you think she can even see Lu Ran? Do you think this is a TV drama? Lu Ran is too busy with his mission to have any chance to meet outsiders. Besides, I can tell she's not Lu Ran's type."

Chen Lin spoke in a nonchalant tone.

She didn't seem to care about it at all.

And what she said was indeed true. Lu Ran wouldn't like a girl like Wang Ling, or rather, he simply had no interest in romantic relationships and was currently uninterested in matters of love and sex.

As for her relationship with Lu Ran
At most, it could be considered that they had mutual feelings for each other.

Chen Lin may be more proactive, but she knows how to maintain a proper balance.

The two only see each other a few times a year and have no intention of dating for the time being.

On the surface, Wang Ling was simply dissatisfied with her work assignment.

In reality, Wang Ling was scheming to obtain more information about Lu Ran. Finding out this kind of gossip wasn't difficult, and she was very careful with her words.

None of Wang Ling's colleagues suspected that she had ulterior motives.

"Haven't you heard? They're legends in the communications department. That man is indeed attractive, but even Sister Chen Lin couldn't win him over, so we shouldn't even dream about it."

When someone said these words,

There was still a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"Yeah, even Sister Chen Lin hasn't succeeded yet."

"But it was bound to happen sooner or later. If even Sister Chen Lin can't handle a man, what chance do others have? So, right now, the person who has the most contact with Lu Ran is our Sister Chen Lin."

"Hehe, I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to attend their wedding."

"Oh dear, what are you saying? You need to have the right attitude during work hours."

"Hmph, how dare you say that to me? This is break time."

The crowd chattered about the anecdotes surrounding Lu Ran and Chen Lin.

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. Wang Ling, who was overhearing this gossip, was secretly delighted. She had originally thought that Lu Ran and Chen Lin had already established a romantic relationship.

If that's the case, she really needs to think it over carefully.

But the current situation is... Chen Lin and Lu Ran are just friends.

That way, she could pursue Lu Ran legitimately.

Of course, Wang Ling did not intend to contact Lu Ran through work.

This approach is neither realistic nor possible, especially since Chen Lin is right there.

Wang Ling dared not provoke Chen Lin; her aura was simply too strong.

Moreover, Chen Lin's colleagues were all aware of the relationship between her and Lu Ran.

Approaching Lu Ran under these circumstances would be tantamount to openly snatching him away.

But she was confident that she could get in touch with Lu Ran.

Others might not be able to do it, but her father is Wang Fugui.

This is precisely the source of Wang Ling's confidence in pursuing Lu Ran.

It's important to understand that ordinary people simply don't catch her eye. Wang Ling has never had a boyfriend in all these years, and she doesn't consider herself inferior to anyone. But when facing Chen Lin, she genuinely felt ashamed of herself. A man who can be chosen by Chen Lin must be no ordinary person.
She subconsciously wanted to compete with Chen Lin.

……

Two days later.

"Why is this noodle shop closed? Damn it, could it be that the person we're looking for has run away?"

"We're doomed! Who leaked the information?"

The thugs who were on the mission were dumbfounded when they saw the empty noodle shop.

What's going on?

Which bastard leaked the information?

Based on their observations over the past few days, the noodle shop owner had no reason to leave.

Their business is booming.
Even closing down for a day results in a huge loss.

But now it's closed. It would be a miracle if they hadn't gotten wind of it beforehand. Realizing this, they immediately reported the situation to their boss.

"This is terrible! Will we be punished?"

"It's all your fault for messing around. I told you to get started as soon as possible, but you insisted on delaying."

"Are women really that interesting? Sooner or later you'll fall for a woman!"

Gan Xiaozhi repeatedly rebuked Mei Zhongyi.

Then, he said ingratiatingly to the boss on the other end of the phone:

"Boss, the situation has changed. It seems the couple we're looking for has already left."

"Please help me find out what happened and when they left."

Gan Xiaozhi's tone was tense. Similarly, the boss on the other end of the phone was also shocked by the news.

He was put in charge of investigating this matter, and to ensure everything went smoothly, he dispatched his most capable subordinate. He had always trusted Gan Xiaozhi's abilities, so how could he not panic in this situation?

"Wait here, I'll investigate right away."

"Be on standby at all times. This can't be messed up. Call a few more brothers to prepare for the operation."

"Okay, boss, don't worry."

Seeing that his boss didn't pursue the matter, Gan Xiaozhi breathed a sigh of relief.

He then turned to Mei Zhongyi and his men and warned them, "No one is allowed to let slip about going to the brothel yesterday. Otherwise, don't blame me for turning my back on you."

The meaning was clear even though the words were not fully spoken.

If the boss finds out that the target escaped because of their negligence, not only will the boss not forgive them, but even the boss's boss will not let them off the hook.

"We will absolutely keep quiet."

When it comes to their own lives and fortunes, they certainly won't treat it lightly.

If their superiors discover that Mali and Maya escaped due to their negligence, they will undoubtedly face severe punishment. If their boss is in a bad mood, the situation will be even worse.

They might even have their arms and legs broken.

In this small southern country, death is a common occurrence.

Especially for people like them who live in the underworld, nobody cares if they die.

Ma Li and Maya waited anxiously inside the carriage.

They waited for the train to arrive at the station, but before they reached the station, they received a phone call. A sweet and gentle female voice came from the receiver; it was Chen Lin, whom Lin Beichen had arranged to meet them beforehand.

Chen Lin directly instructed Ma Li and Maya to get off the bus ahead of time.

They claimed to have obtained reliable intelligence that someone was preparing to intercept them en route.

Ma Li and Maya had no doubts about Chen Lin's reminder.

"Okay, we'll get off now."

He hung up after a brief response.

The two left the carriage swiftly and silently.

When the pursuers found their carriage, it was already empty.

"What's going on? Shouldn't they be on this train? Was the intelligence wrong?" Someone's lips twitched; the current situation was giving him a headache. If the mission wasn't completed, there would definitely be consequences.

The person the boss wanted has disappeared.

After asking the train attendant, I learned that the other person had just gotten off the train.

This means they received advance warning. Things are getting interesting; the other side was clearly prepared. Could it be that someone inside leaked the information? If so, it means there might be a mole within the organization.

"Brother, what do we do now? If something like this happens, we'll be implicated too. If we'd known it would be this troublesome, we shouldn't have gotten involved in the first place," the younger brother said worriedly.

"It's alright, this has little impact on us. We're not their direct subordinates, so the mission failure isn't our fault. We only helped out to save face."

As a leader, he possesses a natural magnanimity.

He knew perfectly well what the current situation was.

The ones who should really be punished are the ringleaders at the top.

It has little to do with those who carry out the orders. The boss wouldn't punish all his subordinates just because he himself would be in trouble; that would be like cutting off his own arm.

"Brother, are we still going to get involved in this?"

I'd like to ask for your permission again.

"Control? With what means can we control them? There are only two possibilities for how they could have known the information in advance." The eldest brother pondered for a moment, then analyzed to his younger brother, "One is that there is a traitor within our ranks, but that possibility is relatively low."

"Secondly, the Chinese side intervened."

He already knew that the noodle shop owners had connections with the Chinese. The fact that they were able to get advance notice suggested that arrangements had been made by the Chinese side. And since the train's destination was the border, he simply couldn't believe it wasn't Chinese involvement. Once China was involved, things became complicated.

Rather than getting involved, it's better to extricate yourself in time.

To avoid being caught in the crossfire and getting burned, which would be a losing proposition.

"Report your location, and we will dispatch armed personnel as soon as possible to escort you back to China," Chen Fei's voice came through the communication device. Ma Li and Maya were extremely grateful and thanked her repeatedly.

"Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't have survived this time."

Who could have predicted that the local authorities would act in this way?

Even if that's not what most people mean.

But as long as someone has this idea.

They will encounter misfortune.

Local authorities won't openly target them, and any action taken won't be in the official capacity. Without a doubt, the ones making the move are likely the Wolf Fang, Blood Moon, or Scorpion—three deeply entrenched factions in Myanmar.

On the surface, it seems that Myanmar is powerless against them.

In reality, their relationships are complex and intertwined.

It's safe to say that these three dark organizations are likely backed by high-ranking officials in Myanmar.

"No need to be so polite, it's our duty. Besides, this was Lin Beichen's request to us, and you've provided important intelligence to China, so it's only right and proper that we help you."

"We will make proper arrangements for the two of them."

"You may choose to settle in China."

Chen Fei's words delighted the two of them.

Everyone knows that China has excellent public security, which is several times better than the security environment in Myanmar.

While waiting, Ma Li, Maya, Chen Lin, and Chen Fei chatted about many things, mostly related to Lin Beichen, and inquired about the specific details of the mission. Upon learning about the perilous situation Lin Beichen had faced, Chen Lin and Chen Fei couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines. Even knowing these were past experiences, they still couldn't help but feel uneasy. Perhaps it was because Ma Li and Maya's descriptions were so vivid and engaging, but this was just a minor incident, and the conversation quickly passed.

A gentle night breeze rustled the leaves in the forest.

The sounds of insects and birds echoed incessantly from the outskirts of the valley.

Faced with this situation, Lin Beichen and the others showed no sign of tension.

Not only were they not nervous at all, they were already used to this kind of environment. In fact, they were quite excited, like Yu Feng, who was eager to try it out. This novel way of doing things was a first for Yu Feng.

The sky is dark tonight, and the moonlight is obscured by dark clouds.

Such an environment is indeed suitable for infiltration.

But their actions were far too drastic.

Yu Feng couldn't help but feel uneasy and asked Lin Beichen for confirmation.

"Are we really okay being so high-profile? It would be terrible if we got exposed."

His concerns are justified.

The clattering sound of shovels digging into the soil was far too obvious.

Moreover, they made no attempt to conceal their actions, operating openly and blatantly.

Seeing that no one seemed to care, Yu Feng became even more suspicious.

When you're on someone else's turf, you should always keep a low profile.

"Don't worry, with the feng shui formation protecting us, there won't be any problems."

"Hurry up and stop gossiping. We won't be discovered."

"We must infiltrate the valley below as soon as possible to gather any necessary intelligence. If there are Blood Moon Organization members down there, that would be even better."

The most direct way to obtain intelligence is to break through from within.

Once the core members of the Blood Moon organization are captured, the next step in the operation can be carried out.

As for whether these core members would rather die than confess?
This possibility cannot be ruled out, but no one can withstand torture to extract a confession.

Only those with exceptional loyalty and unwavering will can withstand torture. (End of Chapter)
