Chapter 46: Infiltration

After the four arrived at the joint command post, they infiltrated a tank and drove straight into the command tent, leaving the officers and generals inside stunned.

The four climbed out of the tank, flung two grenades with a flick of their wrists, and as a cloud of yellow smoke rose, all the commanders inside were eliminated.

At that moment, the young officers, completely unaware of the situation, mistook them for assassins and immediately opened fire, spraying bullets at them.

However, the four were masters of extraordinary skills; the incident from the original plot where they were hit by live ammunition never happened to them.

While dodging the gunfire, they did not forget to shout loudly:

"You are already dead. According to the exercise rules, you cannot take action."

Hearing them say this, they understood; they were all Red Army personnel, not assassins, and quickly stopped firing.

They had to remember that their guns were loaded with live rounds; it would be bad if they accidentally injured friendly forces.

Looking at the yellow smoke in the command room, the four exchanged smiles; this exercise was theirs to win, for they had just wiped out all the military commanders and staff officers of the enemy headquarters.

With the Blue Army leaderless, they could only fight on their own, while the Red Army launched a massive counteroffensive, completely annihilating the modernized enemy forces, armed to the teeth, on Red Army territory.

After the exercise ended, just as the battalion commander was cheerfully recommending them for commendation, Nie Huaishang stepped forward and reported the matter of Ma Qitong.

After listening, the battalion commander, with a solemn face, entrusted these words to Nie Huaishang:

"The drug lord in the southwest, the Young Lady of the Ma family. Here is what we will do: I will contact the local police to understand the situation. You go back first; if anything happens, I will notify you immediately."

As soon as Nie Huaishang returned to his office, he saw Goutou Lao Gao and Lieutenant Miao waiting for him. Nie Huaishang smiled and said to the two: "You two want to talk to me about Ma Qitong, right? I have already reported the matter to the battalion commander, so you don't need to worry."

Upon hearing this, Lieutenant Miao hurriedly stated: "I do not doubt your loyalty; we just have something we want to ask for your help with."

Speaking to this point, Lieutenant Miao looked troubled; after all, Nie Huaishang was already a Major, and asking him to go undercover with the police was somewhat inappropriate.

But thinking of the current predicament, where all the police undercover agents inside the Ma family had been wiped out, he gritted his teeth and explained the purpose of his visit to Nie Huaishang.

He also introduced Ma Qitong's background; Ma Qitong's family was a major cancer entrenched in the border region.

Relying on Yuanshan Town and backed by the Golden Triangle, they controlled a vast international drug trafficking network.

The social conditions and local customs of Yuanshan Town were extremely complex; all the undercover agents sent in had sacrificed their lives.

He hoped Nie Huaishang could get close to Ma Qitong and infiltrate the Ma family group.

After speaking, he and Goutou Lao Gao waited silently for an answer, but to their surprise, Nie Huaishang readily agreed to their request.

On the way back, Nie Huaishang had already made his decision, because he felt that compared to the countless people whose families were destroyed and who were separated from their spouses and children due to drugs, his, Nie Huaishang's, love could be sacrificed.

Do anti-drug police not have their own families? Do they not have their own love? They can all sacrifice it; why should he not be able to? He, Nie Huaishang, did not feel he was in any way special.

Thus, Nie Huaishang followed Lieutenant Miao to a border county town in the southwest.

There, Nie Huaishang thoroughly familiarized himself with the files on the drug lords of the Ma family group.

Afterwards, he had the police cooperate with him to stage a fake kidnapping involving a black-versus-black conflict, allowing Nie Huaishang to get close to Ma Qitong.

Of course, Nie Huaishang knew that Ma Yunfei would definitely arrange a real kidnapping to test him.

However, he was not afraid; after all, when it came to dealing with Ma Yunfei, he, Nie Huaishang, was confident.

In a small border town, Nie Huaishang watched Ma Qitong, who was bathed in brilliant sunlight, from a corner, and could not help but sigh in his heart:

"It would be so good if you were not the daughter of a drug trafficker."

Just as he was sighing, the bandits made their move and, without saying a word, dragged Ma Qitong into a truck.

Afterwards, the bandits drove the truck away; Nie Huaishang fired several shots at the bandits, killed a few, and then chased after them on a bicycle.

As the truck drove out of the small town, Nie Huaishang shot and killed the truck driver and used his bicycle to stop the out-of-control truck.

The people in the cabin immediately got out, but none were a match for Nie Huaishang, and he dealt with them one by one.

After dealing with the kidnappers, Nie Huaishang went to check on Ma Qitong in the cabin.

Having been kidnapped and terrified by the gunshots just now, Ma Qitong was trembling with fear, clutching her head and crying, pleading:

"Don't kill me, don't kill me."

Seeing Ma Qitong's state, Nie Huaishang, with a helpless expression, said to her:

"Alright, I have already dealt with those people."

Hearing that familiar voice, she looked up and saw the person she had longed for day and night in countless days; Ma Qitong, her face filled with surprise, asked:

"Huaishang, how is it you?"

"I have been following you all along."

Nie Huaishang explained.

"Why?"

Ma Qitong widened her eyes, waiting for Nie Huaishang's answer.

Nie Huaishang's expression shifted evasively, and he spoke the insincere words in a low voice:

"Because I love you."

After speaking, he scooped her up in a princess carry and carried her off the truck; Ma Qitong, being carried down by Nie Huaishang, felt herself wrapped in immense happiness.

While she was still shaken from the kidnapping, the person she had longed for day and night had stepped in to save her.

Moreover, he loved her just as deeply and had been following her for a long time; being held by him, gazing at her beloved at close range, she felt only her heart fluttering wildly like a little deer.

After carrying Ma Qitong down, Nie Huaishang picked up the bandits' pistols, dragged Ma Qitong to the middle of the road, fired several shots, and threatened the car owner to stop.

Several armed people got out of the car and aimed at Nie Huaishang; Nie Huaishang sneered, kicked the person who had come down with a single kick, sending him flying, and then fired, shooting everyone in the car dead.

However, after the people in the car were shot dead by Nie Huaishang, a large group of assassins rushed out from both sides of the road and kidnapped the two of them.

Nie Huaishang then gave up resistance; he knew these people were sent by Ma Yunfei to test him, and what he had to do next was to deceive Ma Yunfei.

After the assassins tortured him for a while, Ma Yunfei walked out and let go of the tortured Nie Huaishang.

Just as Ma Yunfei was about to speak calmly, Nie Huaishang lunged forward, seized Ma Yunfei, drew the pistol from his waist, aimed it at Ma Yunfei's forehead, and shouted loudly:

"Don't move! If you dare move even an inch, I'll blow his brains out."

Nie Huaishang smiled at Ma Yunfei: "Fine, I've been an assassin for so many years and have never suffered such a loss; if I don't vent this anger today..."

"... I, a man, will never be at ease for the rest of my life."

After speaking, he slapped Ma Yunfei several times across the face, leaving Ma Yunfei seeing stars.

Nie Huaishang, holding Ma Yunfei hostage, walked out of the warehouse and left. After going quite far, Nie Huaishang kicked Ma Yunfei away and cursed,

"By my usual nature, I should have killed you, but for Tongtong's sake, get lost."
