Spy Wars: Strong Agents Who Are Ruthless and Talk Little

Chapter 162 "Master, I found the evidence."

Su Ming keenly realized that the internal strife within Juntong was not just a struggle for power, but might involve a deeper conspiracy.

"Master, he should be able to handle this..." Su Ming pondered, but a lingering sense of unease lingered. He knew that while Zheng Yaoxian was cunning and calculating, this time his opponents were far more formidable and deadly—because they were hiding in the shadows, even lurking right beside him.

Hidden traitor

Su Ming's suspicions were not unfounded. He stumbled upon a detail in a top-secret document, and the name that struck him was a shock—this traitor was actually closely associated with Zheng Yaoxian, and even held a high position within Juntong. This meant that the intelligence network he had always trusted and relied on might already be riddled with holes, and those seemingly safe plans might have already been exposed to the enemy's sight.

He couldn't believe the intelligence he saw, but the clues were irrefutable. Every piece of information and every action recorded in the file pointed to that person - a traitor who had hidden for many years, a high-ranking official who had never been suspected.

"This is impossible..." Su Ming muttered to himself, but his reason told him that this was not just possible, but a fact.

To confirm this shocking discovery, Su Ming began a secret investigation. He knew that this investigation had to be extremely cautious. If he alerted the other party, not only would his life be in danger, but Zheng Yaoxian's safety would also be greatly threatened.

Su Ming recalled every encounter with the traitor, every detail. He tried to find his flaws, but the traitor was too shrewd, his disguise flawless. He played the role so well that Su Ming once wondered if he had strayed from the truth.

The truth gradually revealed

However, Su Ming's intuition told him the truth lay before his eyes. Subtle clues that had once been ignored now began to piece together a terrifying picture in his mind. The identity of the traitor seemed increasingly clear, but exposing his crimes would be no easy task. Su Ming had to gather more evidence, and do so without arousing suspicion.

During this time, Su Ming barely slept a wink. He didn't dare let his guard down, and every second he spent thinking about how to uncover this deeply hidden conspiracy.

"If I make a mistake, the consequences will be disastrous." Su Ming understood that this wasn't just a personal battle, but a test of the fate of the entire Juntong. If he failed, Zheng Yaoxian would be plunged into despair, and the internal struggle within Juntong would lead to an irreversible situation.

Su Ming began contacting key figures within Juntong, hoping to extract more information from them. He was cautious and reserved in every conversation, but he gradually sensed an undercurrent brewing. The reactions of certain high-ranking figures were noticeably different from usual; perhaps they knew something but were unwilling to reveal it.

"He will betray you... The person you trusted is no longer reliable." During a secret meeting, an old friend whispered a warning to Su Ming. The words pierced his heart like a sharp sword, bringing pain and clarity.

Zheng Yaoxian's test

During this time, Zheng Yaoxian seemed to notice something was wrong with Su Ming, but he didn't say anything. He simply looked at Su Ming quietly, his eyes deep and complex. Su Ming knew that Zheng Yaoxian might have discovered something, but his master chose to remain silent, perhaps waiting for Su Ming to make a decision.

One night, Zheng Yaoxian suddenly summoned Su Ming, and a meaningful conversation took place between the two.

"Su Ming, you seem to be worried lately." Zheng Yaoxian's voice was calm, but with a hint of temptation.

"Master, I..." Su Ming paused, unsure how to begin. He hesitated, wondering if he should tell Zheng Yaoxian about his discovery, but then he realized that if his master already knew, then his silence would be a silent test.

Zheng Yaoxian didn't press Su Ming. He just smiled and continued, "Sometimes, the truth can be painful, but it's something we must face. Whether it's our enemies or our own doubts, we need to confront them head-on."

Su Ming's heart surged as he listened to Zheng Yaoxian's words. He knew his master was telling him to face the challenges bravely, no matter how difficult they were. Perhaps this was his final test.

Limited time

Su Ming knew that time was running out. The enemy had begun to detect his movements, and traitors might be waiting in the dark. Every moment of delay would only make the situation more complicated and dangerous.

Su Ming began to quicken his pace. He not only had to expose the traitor, but also, within a limited timeframe, protect Zheng Yaoxian's legacy. That legacy wasn't just his personal conviction; it was the spiritual pillar of the entire Juntong. Su Ming knew that if the traitor succeeded, Zheng Yaoxian's legacy would be completely destroyed, and the entire Juntong would crumble with it.

Over the next few days, Su Ming worked tirelessly, gathering evidence and analyzing intelligence. He was cautious with every step, but he knew he had to act quickly, or his efforts would be in vain.

Finally, he found enough evidence to expose the traitor's true identity. However, this did not mean his mission was complete. On the contrary, the process of revealing the truth would be the most dangerous moment. Once the traitor realized his identity was exposed, he would fight back desperately.

Facing betrayal

Su Ming decided to take action. He secretly passed the evidence to Zheng Yaoxian and requested a private meeting with his master. He knew that this meeting would determine everyone's fate.

In that dimly lit room, Su Ming and Zheng Yaoxian sat facing each other. Zheng Yaoxian said nothing, but just looked at Su Ming quietly, waiting for him to speak.

"Master, I found the evidence." Su Ming's voice was low and firm.

Zheng Yaoxian nodded slightly, motioning him to continue.

"That person... is him. He has been hiding beside us all along, disguising himself perfectly." Su Ming placed the evidence in front of Zheng Yaoxian, but his heart was still filled with contradictions and pain.

Zheng Yaoxian didn't open the evidence immediately. Instead, he pondered for a moment and then slowly said, "Su Ming, do you know what this means?"

"I know." Su Ming answered in a low voice, but his heart felt extremely heavy.

Exposing the traitor's truth meant facing those he once trusted and making difficult decisions. Su Ming knew this was more than just a mission; it was a test of his soul.

The decisive moment

Zheng Yaoxian finally opened the evidence and carefully flipped through it. With each page he turned, his expression became more and more serious.
