Chapter 9: The Contest

"Sun Peng, what are you going to do?"

Seeing that Ling Zhen had assembled the pistol in only three or four seconds, and disappeared into the simulated training ground as dexterously as a lynx, Chen Qingqing finally couldn't hold back the surprise in his heart anymore, and rushed to Sun Peng's side and asked urgently.

"It's nothing, it's just a contest with Agent Ling."

Silently calculating the time in his heart, Sun Peng said lightly.

"Huh?"

Although he had already guessed, after hearing Sun Peng's confirmation, Chen Qingqing was still dumbfounded for a while!

Challenging Ling Zhen?

At the moment when Sun Peng said this, Chen Qingqing really stepped forward to grab his head, take a good look, and see what was going on inside!

That's one of the two trump cards of the Operations Department of the Ministry of State Security!

Although Sun Peng is very powerful, and the confrontation between the two is usually even more abusive to himself, and he once overturned more than a dozen elites by himself during the assessment, Chen Qingqing never thought that he could be compared to an agent of Ling Zhen's level! After all, the missions of Donglin and Beiguo were all semi-secret, and it was impossible for Chen Qingqing to know the details. In Chen Qingqing's opinion, no matter how powerful Sun Peng is, it is impossible to be better than Ling Zhen, today's contest is a failure, and it is a small shame, if Ling Zhen is dissatisfied and has an opinion on Sun Peng, then it will be a big problem!

At this moment, Chen Qingqing finally understood why Sun Peng would take the initiative to invite him to practice today.

During this time, Ling Zhen had to come over after work almost every day, and his gloomy face and huge prestige frightened many people, which greatly reduced the utilization rate of the training ground in the past few days, and today there was no agent except for the two of them......

Chen Qingqing was anxious for Sun Peng, but the person concerned was a little impatient with her.

Seeing that Chen Qingqing's face was changing, as if he wanted to say something, Sun Peng frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Qingqing, our battle is about to start, if it is convenient, can you please go outside and wait?" In my judgment, it's likely that we won't be confined to the simulator for a while......"

"Huh?"

Chen Qingqing was stunned when she heard this, although she pouted, she still snorted and turned to leave.

Just now, Chen Qingqing also figured it out, no matter what she thought about this matter, the contest was inevitable, and she might as well listen to Sun Peng's words and go out honestly, even if this guy failed, at least she didn't see it, and she could leave him a little face.

As soon as Chen Qingqing walked together, thirty seconds had arrived.

With a few clicks, Sun Peng used his pen to assemble his pistol at a fast speed, inserted the magazine of the training bullet, and then glanced at the underground space that was empty at this time, smiled slightly, and walked slowly towards the simulated training ground......

"Old Niu, where is Sun Peng?"

On the phone, Shangguan Cai's voice was extremely urgent.

"This ...... I'm not sure. ”

Hearing that it was the director's call, Niu Chengshan naturally didn't dare to slack off, but he could only think about it for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "But he has been in the file center for the past few days, so he should still be there at this time, right?" ”

"I just called, and I'm not there."

After hearing Niu Chengshan's answer, Shangguan shook his head and said, "And there is no signal on his mobile phone...... Forget it, you don't care, I'll find him myself. ”

After hanging up the phone, Shangguan Cai's brows furrowed.

Although it was already off work, because of the case of Chen Jue and the others, Sun Peng was extremely busy during this time, and it was almost impossible to get off work on the hour. So if Sun Peng couldn't be found at this time, Shangguan Cai couldn't help but suspect that he had gone to contact Ling Zhen.

"If that's the case, it's too presumptuous!"

With frowning brows, Shangguan Cai smiled secretly bitterly.

Giving the task of contacting Ling Zhen to Sun Peng, to be honest, Shangguan Cai was very unsure. Although this kid's performance has always been very reassuring, after all, he is too young, and he has just graduated from college for less than a year, so it is difficult for people to believe that he can grasp the balance. But on the other hand, Shangguan Cai really has no better candidate.

Regardless of whether Sun Peng's guess is correct or not, the investigation even suspects that one of the only two fourth-level agents in Guoan is not just anyone who can take responsibility, not even Shangguan Cai! And if Shangguan Cai comes out in person, the contact with Ling Zhen is of another nature, once the other party denies it and there is no evidence afterwards, she may not be able to bear the anger of the other party!

But this matter is too important for more people to know.

So after thinking about it, the experienced Shangguan Cai soon felt that Sun Peng was probably the most suitable candidate. On the one hand, Sun Peng is just a trainee detective, and in Shangguan Cai's eyes, he is a trainee detective who "does not seek progress", and it can be seen from his attitude that day that he doesn't care about whether he will offend Ling Zhen at all! On the other hand, Sun Peng's humble identity can also indicate an attitude, at least let Ling Zhen know that this is just a simple clue investigation, and it does not involve anything else......

Just this morning, Shangguan Cai had just made a secret report with the minister of the Ministry of State Security, and while shocked by Sun Peng's speculation, the minister also acquiesced in Shangguan Cai's plan and agreed that he would let Sun Peng and Ling Zhen contact.

But even so, if Sun Peng contacted Ling Zhen today, it seemed to Shangguan Cai that it was too fast: "Why should you delay for two days, find out more information before acting!" ”

Thinking of this, Shangguan Cai suddenly sighed.

There is no doubt that if Ling Zhen has nothing to do with the two cases, then Shangguan Cai can naturally breathe a sigh of relief, but if Ling Zhen is really related to the death of Chen Jue and the others......

As soon as he thought of the possible consequences, Shangguan Cai felt that he had fallen into the ice cellar, and it was full of cold!

The highest-ranking agent of the Ministry of State Security is related to the death of a colleague, which is still secondary in Shangguan Cai's view, and what is more important is the deeper thing hidden in it!

As the director of the intelligence department of national security, Shangguan Cai certainly knew about the tragedy of Ling Zhen's family that year, but due to Ling Zhen's special identity and status, the case has been in a highly confidential state, and it was not until later that because of the drastic changes in Ling Zhen's personal temperament and acting style, there was no way to cover it up, and it was slowly known to many national security agents.

Even so, the case is a taboo among the agents, you can know about it, but you can't discuss it!

At present, it is certain that Chen Jue and Yang Zhilin have both participated in the investigation of the tragedy of Ling Zhen's family that year, but they can't see this in their personal files at all! This can't help but raise a suspicion, who is going to hide this information that is not worth anything?

Moreover, erasing such important information is not something that anyone can do!

"What happened back then?"

The more he pondered, the more irritable he became, Shangguan Cai couldn't hold back the stuffiness in his chest, got up and pushed open the window behind him.

A cold winter air poured into the warm office, making the thinly dressed Shangguan Cai can't help but shiver, and under her gaze, the originally intimate Ministry of State Security compound suddenly seemed to be shrouded in a thick cloud of smoke, and suddenly became unfamiliar......

"Rustling ......"

Leaning his back against a concrete wall, Sun Peng seemed to be a little careless and gently scraped the wall with the index finger of his left hand, making a slight sound. The sound was small, but in the silence of the training ground, it was enough to reach the ears of some specially trained people.

Just a dozen meters away from Sun Peng, behind the two walls, a person moved after standing still for a moment, like a feline trying to get close to its prey, and quietly moved in the direction of Sun Peng. His movements were so light and quiet that the sound of the whole person moving was much smaller than the rustling sound caused by Sun Peng just now!

But......

At the moment when Ling Zhen's body moved, Sun Peng's eyelids moved, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly into a small arc......

It's not a fair contest at all!

Ling Zhen is very strong, there is no doubt about it, after rigorous training and accumulation, Ling Zhen can exercise super divine marksmanship, and can also have rich experience in dealing with any situation, coupled with the combat awareness honed by himself, it is definitely a humanoid combat weapon! As far as Sun Peng knows, Ling Zhen has not had a record of failure since joining Guoan, and he has almost covered all the important and important tasks in one operation! It was even rumored that the Secret Service had also sent an invitation to Ling Zhen, but no one knew about it because he refused or did not meet the requirements of the Secret Service.

But at this moment, Ling Zhen is facing the enemy of Sun Peng, this is not a human being at all, even the strongest human beings can contend with existence!

Not to mention anything else, since the battle between the two officially began, Ling Zhen still needed to judge his position by Sun Peng's voice and the traces he left, but he didn't know that his position and any actions had already been clearly "displayed" in Sun Peng's field of vision!

Even if Ling Zhen could completely control his body and not move, and even hold his breath, in Sun Peng's ears, who deliberately enhanced his hearing, his heartbeat was still like thunder, clearly guiding him in the direction!

"Well, it's really strong."

Patiently "observing" Ling Zhen's movements, Sun Peng couldn't help but secretly admire. This fourth-level agent is very perfect, much stronger than Sun Peng's instructor Liao Ting, and he is only a little short of absolute physical fitness from the two guys in the secret service.

However, admiration is admiration, feeling Ling Zhen's anger that suddenly swelled because of his actions, Sun Peng still sighed and looked down at the gun in his hand.

There is no need to test anything, just based on this anger, Sun Peng can be sure of many things......
