There's something wrong with me

After the better part of a day.

Zhang Feng and Wang She took turns driving through the night and arrived at a mountain range the next morning.

Looking ahead.

There was a wide hillside in front, more than thirty meters high, covering an area of several thousand square meters.

In comparison, it was inconspicuous in this mountain range, where mountains were often thousands or hundreds of meters high.

However, there were some factories near this 'small mountain,' emitting black smoke.

Zhang Feng paused when he saw these.

He felt that this was different from the 'drug lord's lair' he had seen on TV.

Instead, it was more like the drug chemical processing den in the internal documentaries that 'original Zhang Feng' remembered seeing.

Everything was very modern and efficient.

“This is one of our lairs.”

Wang She got out of the car, “What do you think?”

“Well, it’s a large scale.” Zhang Feng glanced around, seeing three factories, “Judging by the amount of smoke, the work rate is high.”

“What are you looking at all this for?” Wang She saw Zhang Feng looking around, but pointed to the small mountain in front, “The lair I'm talking about isn't the factories below.

These factories are all our legitimate businesses, used for disguise, and can withstand investigation.

The lair I'm talking about is on this mountain.”

In the direction Wang She pointed, there was an uphill dirt road, but the slope was too steep for the car to climb.

At the same time.

Wang She also took out a small notebook from his pocket, which was the ledger for this quarter.

“I brought you here today because I want to promote you.

I reckon there won't be any problem promoting you to 'Soldier'.

Because you are experienced, and Brother Luo Huo likes brothers like you who can handle things.”

He spoke while checking the ledger.

After checking it one last time.

Before going up the mountain, Wang She instructed Zhang Feng again, “But don’t come up the mountain with me, just stay in the car and don’t go anywhere.”

Even if he was promoted to 'Soldier'.

Zhang Feng’s level was not high enough to meet Luo Huo.

Even being able to come to one of the strongholds now was due to the care of the 'Soldier Leader' Wang She.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to see this stronghold.

“Okay…” Zhang Feng responded, and then asked, “Is Brother Luo Huo on the mountain?”

“Yeah.” Because the person asking was a good brother, Wang She subconsciously replied.

But as soon as he nodded, he asked back with a slightly strange expression: “Why are you asking where Brother Luo Huo is for no reason? What do you mean by that?”

“I just heard you say you were going to report.” Zhang Feng pointed to the mountain, “I was wondering if Brother Luo Huo was on the mountain.”

“Oh.” Wang She glanced at Zhang Feng, “In the future, regarding Brother Luo Huo’s affairs, only I will speak, and you will listen, but don’t ask too much.

As for where Brother Luo Huo is, I don’t know either.”

Wang She's words were always a mix of truth and falsehood.

After speaking, he walked towards the mountain.

Zhang Feng watched his back for a few moments, leaned against the car and waited for a while, thought about it, and decided to go take a look.

Because the mission was [Find Luo Huo's hiding place]

Now, the target was most likely right in front of him.

And he heard Wang She say that he had many strongholds.

If he missed this 'quarter', he didn't know when the next time would be.

It was better to take a little risk now and see if Luo Huo was really on this mountain.

‘Damn it! None of these people’s words seem to be true! It’s making my head hurt!’

Zhang Feng left the car and went straight up the mountain.

His main focus was on execution.

Whoosh—

Running quickly.

Zhang Feng knew that as soon as he left the car, someone responsible for monitoring him would inform others.

So he had to be fast and take a shortcut.

Tap!

When Zhang Feng approached the mountain, he didn’t choose to take the small path, but instead climbed directly up the mountain on the left side.

This side of the mountain was very steep, but it could directly lead to the top.

Whoosh—

Zhang Feng leaped up nearly two meters high in one step, stepped on the surface of the mountain, gathered strength again, leaped up another meter, and grabbed the protruding rock above.

Rumble—

Loose rocks continuously slid down the mountain.

Zhang Feng ignored it, using his hands and feet with one breath, and reached the top of this mountain in a dozen seconds.

Huff—

Zhang Feng took a long breath, didn't stop, but went straight into the forest at the top of the mountain, heading towards the small path ahead.

“Someone is going up the mountain!”

“Damn! The guy Wang She brought is climbing the mountain empty-handed? Damn? Is he human?”

At this time, dozens of armed drug dealers ran out of the factory on the ground.

Some people even had military sniper rifles in their hands.

“Open fire directly when you see him!”

“Don’t notify Wang She, kill him directly! This person is a bit strange, he’s too much of a threat!”

“Attention! Don’t get close to him, Wang She said before that this person’s strength is no less than that of a beast in the forest!”

The communicator was constantly reporting information, as well as Zhang Feng’s location.

“He’s on the small path on the south side!” Drug dealers from all over the mountain were also rushing towards this side.

If the scene was switched to the sky, then it could be seen that not long after Zhang Feng left the car, the drug dealers in this area swarmed out and surrounded Zhang Feng.

Zhang Feng didn't know this situation, and completely ignored everything, his eyes only on the small path ahead.

Whoosh—

Crossing the trees in front of him again.

The view in front of Zhang Feng lit up, and he also saw the end of the small path he was looking for.

There was a place similar to the entrance of a mountain village.

But at this time, a dozen drug dealers were pointing their guns at Zhang Feng, who had just come out of the forest.

At the same time.

Wang She stood somewhat fearfully in front of a well-dressed old man.

When he saw Zhang Feng appear.

The old man’s originally amiable expression turned cold, and he looked at Wang She, “Does your man think that he can be so undisciplined just because he has good skills and has made contributions?

Have you forgotten the family rules?”

“No… No… I wouldn’t dare…” Wang She trembled when he heard the old man speak, “Brother Luo Huo… It’s my fault… I’ll take care of it…”

After speaking, he directly pulled out his pistol from his waist, said the catchphrase he used to scold Old You Tou, and angrily shot at Zhang Feng,

“Damn you, Feng Zi! I told you not to come up! Why didn’t you listen?!”

Bang bang bang!

…

Down the mountain.

Zhang Feng's consciousness returned, looking at Wang She who was checking the ledger.

After reading the ledger, Wang She looked at Zhang Feng curiously, “Why are you staring at me blankly?”

Zhang Feng suddenly understood, “It’s nothing, I was just thinking about something.”

"Damn it, you scared the hell out of me." Wang She said with a laugh and a curse, "I thought I had done something wrong and offended my good brother."

As he spoke, Wang She instructed Zhang Feng before going up the mountain, "Stay in the car, don't go anywhere."

Zhang Feng silently watched his back, gazing at the mountain above, at the position of Luo Huo's village entrance.

'Got it.'

… …

About two hours later, Wang She returned.

He didn't say anything.

The two continued driving back to the border city.

But in the evening.

Zhang Feng pretended to go to work as usual, and after wandering around the nightclub, he went to the parking lot, took out a phone card, and edited a message to the captain.

(I've found Luo Huo's hiding place, in the southwest mountains, roughly fifty miles north of Xiaolizhuang. There's a factory area there, and both the factories inside and the surrounding hills are hideouts for drug traffickers. The factories are a disguise)

Sent.

Zhang Feng leaned against the wall, feeling a mix of relief and confusion, but without any guilt of 'betraying a brother'.

Because Wang She had coldly shot him dead today.

But even if he hadn't shot him dead, he was actually a person without feelings. At most, they were using each other, and he would sell you out in a heartbeat.

Most of them only cared about gains and losses.

Zhang Feng wasn't so stupid as to talk about feelings with drug traffickers, and he wouldn't be fooled by a few words of 'good brother'.

Buzz—

Just as Zhang Feng was lost in thought, the captain replied with a message.

(Ensure your own safety. If necessary, you can immediately withdraw from Wang She's side. Your mission is complete. Leave the rest to us.)

… …

In the following days.

Zhang Feng still went to work as usual, without any unusual movements.

On the afternoon of the fourth day.

The nightclub hadn't reached opening hours yet, and the place was deserted.

Zhang Feng was drinking a beverage at the bar.

Tap tap—

With light footsteps, Wang She suddenly walked in from outside and sat down next to Zhang Feng.

"Fengzi…" He was about to say something.

"Police!"

"Don't move!"

A group of special police and anti-drug personnel suddenly poured in.

Leading the way were the captain and the special police captain.

Wang She frowned, and as he was about to get up, two special police officers had already stepped forward, their guns pointed at him.

At the same time, the captain strode to Zhang Feng and Wang She.

Wang She smiled and said to Zhang Feng, "Brother, I just got the news that Brother Luo Huo has been arrested.

After I found out, I had Shun'er and the others drive around the city to attract attention.

Then I came here to take you away.

But look."

Wang She looked at the captain and the others, "Shun'er and the others didn't hold them back. We can't leave now…"

Whoosh—

Several anti-drug personnel stepped forward to restrain him, interrupting his words.

But they didn't restrain Zhang Feng.

On the contrary, the captain looked at Zhang Feng solemnly, directly announcing Zhang Feng's identity, and stood at attention to salute.

The purpose was to show that the matter had been concluded, and the captain didn't want Zhang Feng to continue to infiltrate other criminal gangs as an undercover agent with the identity of 'Luo Huo's remnant'.

This time, he felt that Zhang Feng was already not young.

"Welcome Comrade Zhang Feng back to the team!"

The captain's words were solemn.

Swish!

The anti-drug team members who came here also stood at attention and saluted.

Wang She, who was pinned to the ground, first suspected after seeing this scene, then laughed like crazy.

But in the end, he shook his head calmly.

"I was wondering how Brother Luo Huo's news was leaked. So it was you."

"Don't pay attention to him." The captain, fearing that Zhang Feng would have ethical shadows, stood in front of Zhang Feng, not allowing Zhang Feng to pay attention to him.

Zhang Feng shook his head, pushed the captain away, and looked at Wang She, who was trying to lift his head off the ground, "It's me."

"Then that's right." Wang She seemed to have let out a sigh of relief, his face pressed to the ground.

"The time Little Tiger wanted my life, I was actually already dead. You brought me back from the King of Hell's hands.

I owe you a life.

But only a year has passed, and I have to pay you back.

Of course, the interest on your loan for this year is very high. It's the lives of our entire village.

Fengzi, you're better at doing business than me…"

… …

A month later.

Because Luo Huo was arrested, the anti-drug operation went from 'top' to 'bottom', and soon all the drug traffickers were identified one by one.

Several months later.

The court pronounced the verdict.

Xiang Chaoning alias (Luo Huo), He Zaihang alias (Wang She), and a series of other criminal leaders, sentenced to death, to be executed immediately, deprived of rights for life…

Shun'er (Chu Bin), Cuntou (Lu Dunmin), Along (Kuang Zhentao), assisting He Zaihang (Wang She) in committing smuggling crimes, possessing firearms, and other crimes, sentenced to death…

… …

End of the month.

Execution ground.

Zhang Feng, holding an execution gun, looked at Wang She, who was facing away from him.

"I didn't expect you to still have some influence, to be able to have someone contact me and choose me to execute you."

"Yes…"

Different from being arrested several months ago.

Today's Wang She was a bit tired, his hair disheveled, and his voice was a bit trembling, shivering in fear, "But I still want to thank Brother Fengzi for agreeing…to send this brother off…"

He trembled, slightly turning his head, looking at Zhang Feng, whose hair had been trimmed, "Do…do you have a cigarette? Brother Fengzi…"

"I do." Zhang Feng took out a cigarette and lit it for him, "The brand you like to smoke the most, I bought it for you specially on the way."

"Thank you…" Wang She took a few puffs of the cigarette, "Do you know…why I asked you to carry out…my execution?"

Zhang Feng looked at him.

Wang She spat out the unburned cigarette forcefully.

"Because I wanted to smoke a cigarette from Brother Fengzi, just like before…and then…say a word to the current anti-drug deputy captain Zhang Feng…"

He endured the fear of death.

"That is…

Fuck your mother, Zhang Feng!"

Bang!

The gun fired.

Zhang Feng looked at Wang She, who had been shot in the center of his brow.

"Brother Wang She, this shot is to repay you for the one on the mountain. Our paths are different, we take different roads down the mountain, we're even now."
