The 8th of July was a good day. Jin Cheng thought so because it was his birthday. It was rare for them to have a day off in a year.
"That's why the higher-ups are still very wise. At least on your birthday, you can rest if there's nothing important.”Jin Cheng sighed as he drove his car, an '87 Santana.
"That's because we don't have much work to do and don't need too many people. Usually, we just train and wait for orders.”Another man sat in the passenger seat. He looked much older than Jin Cheng and looked to be in his thirties. However, his face was clean and there was nothing dirty.
" That's true..." Jin Cheng agreed. Then, he glanced at the man and asked," But, Old Zhao, your birthday is in September, right? Today is my day off. What right do you have to come out with me?”
Old Zhao's name was Zhao Sheng. He had ten years of work experience and was Jin Cheng's partner in the mission. The main reason was to let Jin Cheng familiarize himself with the work.
The two of them belonged to the Ministry of National Security, or MSS for short. There was a special office in Ou City that mainly targeted foreign threats.
"Of course there's a mission, silly.”Zhao Sheng took out a document from his pocket and waved it at Jin Cheng.
"It's nothing serious. It's just a job to investigate the city's port.”Zhao Sheng took out a cigarette from his pocket. He lit it up, narrowed his eyes, and took a big puff.
For a moment, smoke lingered in the car. Zhao Sheng was surrounded by it as if he had ascended to immortality.
"What's wrong with the port?" As Jin Cheng drove, he recalled something." Didn't we just catch a bunch of golden retrievers last month? Why are you in trouble now?"
"The pass will be built next year, and we won't be able to enter and exit so comfortably in the future. They couldn't make a scene and take the money?”Zhao Sheng took another puff. The whole cigarette was gone in two puffs.
"But this time, it seems to be different from those golden retrievers.”Zhao Sheng muttered," This batch of people first arrived in Japan from America and then smuggled in. The FBI and Japanese public security have sent over documents, and they seem to want to cooperate.”
"Is it that serious?" Jin Cheng's hands trembled." It's a big guy?”
" Why did they have to come from our side? Isn't it more convenient to come from Haizhou next door…" Jin Cheng complained." We have so few people in our station. If a powerful person comes, how can we hold them off?"”
"After all, there are many businessmen in Ou City. It's convenient for them to come and go.”Zhao Sheng did not mind." In any case, I'll go and take a look at the situation tonight. It seems that they're coming up from Yong Zhong. There are many containers there, and it seems that they've set up a small base.”
"Then be careful." Jin Cheng frowned, feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed. The calmer Old Zhao's reaction was, the more he felt that there was something wrong.
Zhao Sheng smiled nonchalantly." What are you afraid of? I'm an experienced man. How many storms have I not seen?" How many times had he survived being shot at by a gun? Would he make a mistake over such a small matter?”
Jin Cheng didn't say anything else, but Old Zhao pulled him along with a disdainful look until Jin Cheng drove to Zhuangyuan Street and kicked him out of the car.
After saying that, Jin Cheng started the car and left, leaving Zhao Sheng cursing,“NINABEI!”
Zhao Sheng cursed at Jin Cheng's car butt. He was the embodiment of how the people of Ou City cursed. Zhao Sheng only stopped when Jin Cheng's car exhaust could no longer be seen. He seemed to have changed into another person and appeared extremely calm.
"These guys are not easy to deal with.”Zhao Sheng did not tell Jin Cheng the truth about the mission. This wasn't a simple investigation mission. The opponent's strength was strong, completely beyond Jin Cheng's imagination. They were a group of people who killed without blinking, and would do anything to achieve their goal.
"Kid, you're still too inexperienced…just like me back then.”Zhao Sheng finished another Hongtashan cigarette and slipped into a dark alley.
He parked his car at the foot of Jingshan Mountain and bought a bunch of simple white chrysanthemums from a nearby flower shop. Then, he walked up the mountain to Snow Mountain Cemetery. After a series of twists and turns, they finally stopped in front of a tombstone with the words "Tomb of Jin Xuan" written on it.
This was his grandfather's grave.
Today was his birthday and also the anniversary of his grandfather's death. Therefore, he would always come to this place on his birthday all these years.
The next morning, when Jin Cheng returned to the encampment after his vacation, he felt that the atmosphere was a little off. Everyone seemed to be a little depressed. Smoke lingered around them, and they did not say a word. They narrowed their eyes and were lost in thought.
"Xiao Jin, come here for a moment." The commander of the station called out to him, and Jin Cheng followed him to a remote place in the station, the morgue.
Jin Cheng had a bad feeling. He didn't know why he brought him to this place.
"Let's go in." The commander-in-chief motioned for Jin Cheng to enter. He turned around and lit a cigarette outside the door, smoking silently.
Jin Cheng forgot how he pushed open the door and walked in step by step. When he reacted, he was already standing in front of Zhao Sheng's corpse. His head was dizzy and he couldn't believe it. This person was still chatting with him in the car yesterday. Why was it that when he saw her again, she was already wrapped in a red flag?
The commander-in-chief took out a cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth. He took it off and put it between his ears."I was attacked on my way back from completing my mission last night.”
Jin Cheng didn't say anything. The commander continued,""It should be the group of people who sneaked ashore at the port of Yongzhong District.”
"Who are they?"
"A group of crows that can't be seen in the light. They have infiltrated every country in the world, especially the United States. Our country's control is relatively strict. It was only in the past few years that the customs were gradually opened up. They seized the fact that the customs were relatively loose after the opening up and gradually showed signs of activity in coastal cities.”
"…" Jin Cheng was silent.
"The higher-ups want to get in touch with the people outside, share information, and join forces to deal with these guys.”
"The initial intention is to only send one person to contact them.”
"Just one person?" Jin Cheng frowned.
"We don't have much specific information at the moment. The information they sent through spies is that those guys will focus on East Asia, especially Japan. Therefore, they needed to send someone to Japan to help investigate their movements. The others would be on standby in the country.”
Jin Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up."Since there's only one person, then I'll go.”
The sunlight outside the morgue was very bright and warm. It made people feel that this was going to be a good day.
