Fantastic.

This steel wire had the tendency to snap.

Gudun Mah, the Deputy Chief of Staff, spoke in a very gentle tone, his sharp old eyes seemingly able to see through the young man before him.

Code number?

Yang Ming’s heart skipped a beat, his thoughts swiftly turning. The code number could be understood as the number on a work badge, but should he report it? Reporting it would definitely expose him.

...

Little Lyu might have one or two tricks for dealing with the intelligence network of the Luofeng Empire, but when facing the New Federation’s intelligence network, it was still like an old cow chewing grass twice before spitting it out—too inexperienced.

At this moment, Yang Ming sat there smiling, seemingly unperturbed.

Gudun Mah’s gaze gradually became sharper, his left hand already resting on the edge of the table.

Although this Deputy Chief of Staff was sure that Yang Ming had no weapons on him—with Yang Ming having undergone a body search, a full-body scan, and an energy level scan beforehand—Gudun Mah wasn’t going to let down his guard.

Many thoughts flashed quickly through Yang Ming’s mind. Suddenly, as if his intuition had guided him, he remembered the beautiful female spy he had come into contact with, who had already turned to ashes.

“General,” Yang Ming said softly, “introducing oneself is the most unprofessional behavior in our line of work.”

Gudun Mah leaned back in his chair, a trace of coldness hidden in his smile.

“Sir, you’re wasting my time,” Gudun Mah shook his head, “perhaps you have obtained some wrong intelligence from other channels, leading you to believe you can threaten us…”

“General, I am not using intelligence to threaten you.”

Yang Ming interrupted Gudun Mah,

“You might have misunderstood. I went to great lengths to assume an alias, found a wealthy merchant in the Cas Federation to cover for me, arrived here, not for your corruption case.

“The makeup bag containing those thirty-two chips, where it is, has nothing to do with me.”

Gudun Mah’s pupils contracted slightly.

Yang Ming said calmly, “You should be aware of the sensitive identity of the woman you just killed.”

Saying too much leads to mistakes.

Yang Ming’s words were succinct, allowing Gudun Mah to speculate profusely.

Obviously, Gudun Mah had already imagined a lot.

Yang Ming smiled, “It wasn’t my intention to meddle when I stumbled upon your operation on the passenger ship, it was just an accident. Is the spinal injury of that soldier I kicked still healing?”

Gudun Mah said coldly, “Sir, you seem very confident in your abilities?”

A hint of fierceness flashed in Yang Ming’s eyes, “Deputy Chief of Staff, why don’t we change the way we talk?”

Gudun Mah looked a bit puzzled.

“I’m in a hurry to meet up with my uncle.”

Yang Ming said calmly,

“I worked hard to get an identity and don’t want to waste it like this, or else my boss would curse me terribly.

“You don’t trust me, and I can’t trust you.

“I think we can build mutual trust through some means, such as…”

Yang Ming abruptly launched an attack without any warning, punching right at Gudun Mah’s nose!

Gudun Mah’s hand on the table immediately slammed the hidden button, instantly displaying a red energy shield in front of him.

Snap!

The punch landed solidly on the red shield.

In the unbelievable gaze of the old general, spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the energy shield!

What… what kind of power is this!

A hidden side door was kicked open, and two groups of fully armed, small-statured mechanical guards rushed out!

Yang Ming pressed against the desk, leaping horizontally to evade several laser light bullets, landing in the center of the mechanical guards.

A dozen seconds later.

Yang Ming deliberately panted heavily, standing over a pile of sparking parts beneath him.

He pointed his watch at the door to Gudun Mah’s room, which automatically locked, undid the top button of his shirt, pulled a chair, and returned to the pale-faced Gudun Mah, who seemed close to crushing the emergency call button.

—The button hadn’t sent any distress signal.

Yang Ming symbolically tapped the watch dial, and the nearly shattered energy shield quietly deactivated.

“General!”

A guard called from outside the door, “We heard some noise inside. Are you okay!”

Yang Ming said nothing, staring at Gudun Mah, the threat in his eyes unabashed.

Gudun Mah breathed heavily, speaking in a low voice, “I… I’m fine, don’t worry! I’m chatting with my friend, broke something, prepare a plentiful dinner!”

After speaking, Gudun Mah closed his eyes.

He regretted it a little, wondering why he met this senior agent alone.

This was certainly a transformed person! And such a degree of transformation, within the Central Intelligence Agency of the New Federation, definitely belonged to the secret weapon level!

Gudun Mah knew, if the other party wanted to kill him, it wouldn’t be much harder than swatting a fly.

Yang Ming smiled, “We’ve barely begun, General. Your psychological endurance seems a bit lacking.”

Gudun Mah’s Adam’s apple quivered slightly.

Yang Ming, unhurriedly, took out a pen and a banknote from his pocket, wrote a few names and addresses on it, and pushed it in front of Gudun Mah.

This time, Gudun Mah truly seemed short of breath.

“I don’t mean to threaten you, General. Your sons are very cute, and that lady is very gentle.”

Yang Ming spoke calmly,

“I just want to stress one point, as if nothing happened, those thirty-two chips don’t interest me at all.

“No one cares about the conflict between you and your master. Make money as you wish… now, can you trust me?”

“Sir… sir…”

A drop of cold sweat slipped from Gudun Mah’s eye corner.

“I have never doubted your identity,” Gudun Mah spoke quickly, “the Wind is just a puppet state! My position as Deputy Chief of Staff is just a livelihood! It was somewhat presumptuous of me, you…”
