The spies, dressed in black with waist knives in hand,
were like black chess pieces, moving along different paths toward their assigned destinations.
From the sky, the silent web of spies resembled a black dragon, coiling across the chessboard.
On the quiet street of Xinglong Village, West Wind, wearing a newly carved dragon mask, walked at the forefront, with Chen Ji and Jin Zhu wearing masks side by side.
Behind them, two spies arranged by Jin Zhu constantly shadowed Chen Ji, blocking any potential escape routes.
As they walked, Chen Ji suddenly stopped and turned around.
In an instant, the two spies drew their waist knives halfway, their eyes coldly fixed on him.
Chen Ji, puzzled, asked, "Lord Jin Zhu, are you protecting me, or are you detaining me? Treating me like a criminal now, is the next step to throw me into the inner prison?"
Jin Zhu sighed, patting him on the shoulder, "We’re all smart people, why bother making things explicit?"
Chen Ji, with a calm tone devoid of emotion, said, "Lord Jin Zhu, I’ve helped you find a way to catch the Liu Family red-handed, and just when success is in sight, you’re burning bridges! When can you trust me?"
