The young man paused, turned around and smiled politely: "Uncle, you have worked hard." I do have an important pact to go. ”

"Oh? It's not like you're going on a date. The uncle teased, the broom in his hand stopped in mid-air, and looked at him with interest.

The young man touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment: "It's not a date, it's an opportunity that may change my fate." ”

"Heh, it's not a small tone. Then you have to be careful, this world is unpredictable. The uncle reminded him earnestly, and then threw himself into the cleaning work.

The young man nodded gratefully and quickened his pace towards his destination, XX Street, XX Street. Behind him, the uncle looked at his figure that was fading away, and whispered to himself: "It's good to be young, and you have the courage to chase the unknown." Hopefully he'll get his wish. ”

Arriving at the door of the second-hand bookstore, the young man took a deep breath and pushed open the creaking wooden door. The interior of the store is dimly lit, except for the rows of old books illuminated by a table lamp in the corner. He followed the text message prompts and walked to the deepest bookshelf.

"You're here." A cold, familiar voice came from the shadows. The young man looked at it and found that Enjing was leaning against the bookshelf, still wearing a retro trench coat and a wide-brimmed hat, but the sunglasses had been taken off, and his sharp eyes were staring directly at him.

"Eun Jing...... You came to me, do you have any new tasks? The young man pretended to be calm and tried to hide his nervousness.

The corners of Enjing's mouth hooked up a meaningful smile: "Yes, your reaction is quite fast." This mission is more challenging and dangerous than ever. ”

"What is it?" The young man asked eagerly.

"Remember the 'Violet Project' mentioned last time? We were informed that it was not an isolated incident, but inextricably linked to a transnational criminal organization called the Sea Serpent Group. The syndicate is involved in drug trafficking, money laundering, arms dealing, and other illegal fields, and its influence has penetrated the world, and even has secret cooperative relations with some high-level government officials. ”

The young man gasped, shocked by the sheer power and evil deeds of the "Sea Serpent Group". He settled down and asked solemnly, "What do you need me to do?" ”

Enjing walked up to him and said softly, "We need you to use your identity as a journalist to break into the 'Sea Snake Group' and obtain first-hand information, especially evidence of their collusion with politics." This is the key to the dismantling of this criminal empire. ”

"Break into the inside? It's too dangerous! The young man blurted out, clearly extremely concerned about the proposal.

Eun Jing stared at him in a serious tone: "I know this is very demanding, and it may even endanger your life. But if you refuse, we will lose a golden opportunity for countless innocent people to continue to live in the shadow of the 'Sea Serpent Group'. Are you willing to take any risks for this? ”

The young man was silent for a moment, his gaze resolute: "I'm willing to try." But before that, I need more information and training to ensure the success rate of the operation. ”

Enjing nodded with satisfaction: "Wise choice." I've arranged everything. Tomorrow night, I'll send someone to take you to a secret base for special training. Remember, from now on, your life will go into a state of high secrecy, and any contact with the outside world must be handled with care. ”

The young man nodded vigorously, determined to rise to the challenge and fight for justice, despite the thorny road ahead.

The next night, the young man followed the instructions to an abandoned factory. It's brightly lit, and a group of skilled agents are doing actual combat drills. Eun Jing stood aside and motioned for the young man to come over.

"Welcome to our temporary base." "For the next week, you'll receive intense physical training, espionage skills and simulated combat drills. Remember, surviving and completing missions is your only mission. ”

The young man gritted his teeth, met Enjing's expectant gaze, and stepped into this journey of life and death.

A week later, the brutally trained young man has a new look. He incarnated as a financial reporter, and with his excellent social skills and rich professional knowledge, he successfully broke into an investment company under the "Sea Snake Group" and gradually approached the core level.

At a high-level cocktail party, the young man happened to meet the second-in-command of the "Sea Snake Group" - the cunning and sinister Jason Holt. The two had a good conversation, and Holt admired the young man's talent and intended to woo him to become his confidant.

"Mr. Li, your insight and courage are impressive." Holt raised his glass to a drink, his eyes flashing with appreciation and wariness, "In the business world, we all need reliable allies. Will you join me in the cause? ”

The young man remained silent and smiled back: "Mr. Holt has an overreputation. I'm just an ordinary financial journalist, and I'm fortunate enough to be exposed to your company's business, so I naturally want to know more about it and report on it. As for allies, I think as long as our interests are aligned, that's fine. ”

Holt laughed and patted the young man on the shoulder: "I like your bluntness. In the future, if you need it, please feel free to contact me. ”

After the reception, the young man quickly passed on the information he had gathered to Eunjing. They met in secret bases to analyze these clues and gradually uncover the shady curtain of collusion between the "Sea Serpent Group" and political circles.

"Well done, Mr. Lee." Eun Jing approving, "You've managed to get Holt's interest. Next, we're going to try to get him to reveal more inside information, especially the details of their specific dealings with the top of the government. ”

The young man frowned and thought, "I'm afraid this won't be easy. Holt is extremely cunning and cautious, and will not easily reveal secrets unless there is absolute trust. ”

Enjing smiled slightly, and took out a delicate small device from her bag: "Don't worry, we have a secret weapon - this high-level monitor." As long as you can find the right opportunity to plant it in Holt's private office, we can listen to his conversation in real time and have the information we need. ”

The young man took the listener, his eyes flashing with excitement and determination: "Understood." I'll find the right time to place it, but before I can do that, I need to further earn Holt's trust. ”

A few days later, an investment summit hosted by the "Sea Snake Group" was held in a five-star hotel. With their outstanding performance, the young man won the favor of Holt and was invited to the VIP dinner of the summit. At the dinner, the staggered and celebrities gathered, and Holt was proud of the spring breeze, chatting and laughing with political and business dignitaries from all walks of life.

Taking advantage of Holt's absence, the young man quickly infiltrated his private lounge and cleverly installed the monitor in a hidden spot under his desk. When he was done, he quietly withdrew and returned to the banquet as if nothing had happened, socializing with the guests.

In the weeks that followed, Enjing's team intercepted a large amount of valuable information through the wiretaps, including records of the Sea Snake Group's secret meetings with various government officials, details of financial transactions, and plans for an upcoming major criminal activity. These ironclad materials have laid a solid foundation for the complete destruction of the "Sea Serpent Group".

Late one night, the young man received an urgent call from Eun Jing and hurried to the secret stronghold. There, Eun Jing was meeting with Senior Police Agent Ryan Sean with a thick stack of papers spread out on the table.

"Mr. Li, according to the information you provided, we have enough evidence to take a large-scale net collection operation against the 'Sea Snake Group' tonight." Ryan's expression was serious, his eyes blazing, "Your task is to stay with Holt and cooperate with us to contain him when the operation begins." ”

The young man nodded in agreement, nervous and excited. He knew that the moment for this decisive battle had finally come.

As night falls, under the neon lights of the bustling city, a well-planned anti-crime operation quietly unfolds. Dozens of police cars silently surrounded the headquarters of the "Sea Snake Group", and the special forces members climbed the building with the agility of cheetahs, preparing for a surprise attack.

At this time, in Holt's office, he is plotting with several high-ranking officials to plan the next stage of the crime. The young people appear to be calmly engaged in the discussion, but inside they are beating like a drum. He kept a close eye on the police action instructions coming from his headset, waiting for the perfect moment.

Suddenly, Enjing's calm voice came from the earphones: "The action begins, Mr. Li, you can act." ”

The young man took a deep breath and excused himself to leave the conference room and quickly return to Holt's office. He found the right time to subdue Holt with lightning speed, and at the same time notified the police commandos who were waiting outside to enter.

A few minutes later, the entire building was under full control by the police, and all the main members of the "Sea Snake Group" were arrested. Holt stared at everything in front of him in amazement, incredulous that his carefully constructed criminal empire had collapsed overnight.

The anti-crime campaign that shook the nation was covered by the media, and citizens cheered and celebrated the victory of justice. Although the young man's name has not been disclosed, the key role he played in the shadows has long been remembered by Enjing's team and the police.

A few months later, the court held a public trial of the "Sea Snake Group" case, and many of the officials and criminals involved were duly punished. The social atmosphere has been boosted, and public confidence in the rule of law has been at an all-time high.

One evening, the young man was strolling alone through a familiar street and came across the cleaner with whom he had spoken. The uncle recognized him at a glance and greeted him warmly: "Young man, long time no see." What have you been busy with lately? ”

The young man smiled slightly, looking at the sunset in the distance: "Uncle, I have been doing something meaningful, hoping to make this world a better place." ”

The uncle nodded with satisfaction, and said earnestly, "Good job, child." Remember, always and everywhere, stand up for what is right, because that is the cornerstone of our lives. ”

The young man nodded silently, his heart full of strength and faith.

With the fall of the "Sea Serpent Group", the city has temporarily returned to tranquility, but Eunjing and her team have not let their guard down. They know that there will always be new evil forces rising in the dark world, and those remnants may also wait for revenge. So, they continued to lurk in the shadows, closely monitoring any suspicious movements.

On this day, Eun Jing received a message from an anonymous informant that a new underground force was quietly emerging, and its leader was called "Shadow", acting extremely low-key and ruthless, and it was very likely to become the next "Sea Serpent Group". Enjing immediately summoned Xu Mo, Xia Lan, and Li Yang to convene an emergency meeting to study coping strategies.

"We must find out the true identity of the Shadows and their specific plan of action as soon as possible." Enjing's face was solemn, and her fingers tapped lightly on the table, "Pay special attention to whether they are related to the 'Sea Snake Group', or whether they have a higher-level political background. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then divided the work and cooperated, and each entered the investigation. Li Yang is responsible for mining information through news media and social media, Xu Mo uses hacking techniques to hack into the databases of potential targets, and Xia Lan relies on her black and white network to gather intelligence.

A few days later, Li Yang found a key clue in an obscure community forum post. One netizen claimed to have witnessed a bizarre underground deal in which one of the parties wore a black skull mask and appeared to be a member of the Shadows. The transaction took place at an abandoned chemical plant on the outskirts of the city, and the time was tonight.

Upon hearing the news, Enjing and the others immediately took action and decided to take this opportunity to find out the details of the "shadow". They disguised themselves and drove to the designated location, intending to conduct peripheral reconnaissance first and then wait for an opportunity to go deeper.

The night was dark, and the area around the chemical plant was deserted, with only a few scattered lights in the distance dotting the lonely night sky. Enjing and his party took advantage of the terrain to stealthily approach and peek inside the factory through the dilapidated windows. In the dim space, several people wearing skull masks were sitting around a table full of cash and various items, one of them was burly and domineering, obviously the "shadow".

That's when the unexpected happened. A wild cat suddenly sprang out of the grass and let out a shrill cry. The vigilant members of the "Shadow" instantly noticed the anomaly and drew their guns and pointed out the window. Enjing and the others were caught off guard and forced to be exposed.

"Someone! Get them! The Shadow leader let out a low roar, and his men quickly rushed out of the factory and scattered in pursuit. Enjing, Xu Mo, Xia Lan and Li Yang divided into two groups and led the pursuers separately to gain time to retreat.

In the fierce battle, Eun Jing and the leader of the "Shadow" meet in a narrow way. The two were tense and exchanged lights for several rounds. Enjing is vigorous and aggressive, but the strength of the "Shadow" leader should not be underestimated, and with the continuous siege of his subordinates, Enjing is gradually unable to do so.

"Bang!" A gunshot pierced the night sky, and Eun Jing couldn't dodge, her shoulder was grazed by a bullet, and blood instantly stained her shirt red. She fought back, trying her best to knock the "Shadow" leader to the ground, and then fled the scene with Xu Mo's help.

After escaping to safety, Eun Jing's wound was bleeding profusely, and her face was as pale as paper. Li Yang was so anxious that he took out the first-aid kit he carried with him to stop the bleeding and bandage it. Xia Lan contacted the secret medical team and asked for emergency support.
