Chapter 417

"Above? Those people only know how to sit in offices and drink tea. Do they know what kind of life I've been living all these years?"

Li Zi said angrily.

"Yes, I know."

Facing Li Zi's fury, Song Song Meina said nonchalantly: "Additionally, just a moment ago, Section Chief Kang conveyed a new order to me; there is a new mission."

Hearing this, Li Zi's expression suddenly stiffened.

Li Zi had originally come here intending to ask when he could end the undercover work, never expecting that not only would he not get a definitive answer, but there would be a new mission instead.

How could Li Zi accept this?

Clatter.

Li Zi threw the piece in his hand onto the board; he was no longer in the mood to play.

"What exactly do you people mean?"

Li Zi stared fixedly into Song Song Meina's eyes and questioned her.

"Director Li, mind your status. Do not forget the police force's rules and regulations."

Song Song Meina reminded him.

"My status? What is my status now? Have you ever treated me as one of your own? Those thugs and hoodlums trust me and obey my every word, but you?

Besides giving me orders, what else do you do! How many times have I applied to terminate the mission over these years? Have you ever considered my life!"

Li Zi was completely provoked by Song Song Meina's words.

"What is the use of telling me these things? I am just the liaison officer assigned to you; I have no right to decide your mission."

Song Song Meina was not affected by Li Zi and continued to speak unhurriedly.

In reality, that was indeed the case; it was Li Zi who had to risk his life going undercover in the Gold Gate Group, not her, Song Song Meina, so naturally, she wouldn't be anxious.

"Director Li, in the next few days, please bring over the information on Li Li Zhongjiu."

Song Song Meina said.

Li Zi took a deep breath, barely calming the fire in his heart, and said: "I will give you the information on Li Li Zhongjiu, but the information I can obtain is not enough to put Li Li Zhongjiu in jail."

"Director Li doesn't need to worry about that; leave the other parts to us to handle."

Song Song Meina said.

Once these words were out, Li Zi's brows furrowed, and he asked: "Besides me, how many other undercover agents are there inside the Gold Gate Group? What are their statuses? Are they like me, or are they just intelligence personnel?"

"Sorry, according to police regulations, I am not aware of the information regarding those personnel, and I have nothing to say."

Song Song Meina took a sip of tea and said.

"Fine, since it's a regulation, then I won't ask."

Li Zi paused and said: "What is the new mission? I should at least be allowed to know that; tell me the specific plan."

"Sorry."

Song Song Meina shook her head.

"You can't even tell me this?"

Li Zi laughed out of extreme anger and said: "Am I even a police officer like you? I have risked life and limb for you, going undercover in the Gold Gate Group, and now I can't even know the plan?"

"Director Li, there is no need for you to know these things; you only need to act according to orders."

Song Song Meina said.

"To hell with your orders!"

Li Zi could no longer suppress his roar and flipped the Go board over.

The pieces flew everywhere, hitting Song Song Meina all over her head and face.

The teacup in Song Song Meina's hand was shattered by the board, and the scalding tea splashed all over her, causing her to scream in pain.

"Damn it, I have to do whatever you tell me to do. Am I a dog you raised!"

Li Zi pointed at Song Song Meina and roared.

At this moment, the intellectual beauty before him did not evoke a single shred of appreciation in Li Zi; there was only fury in his heart.

"Beep, beep, beep!"

Just then, Song Song Meina's phone rang.

Li Zi glanced at the notification and took it directly, pressing the answer button.

"Section Chief Kang!"

Li Zi said.

"Li Zi? Why are you so angry?"

Section Chief Kang was very surprised that it was Li Zi answering the phone, but he immediately said: "It just so happens I was looking for you. Come to the old place immediately; there is a new mission."

"Fine."

Li Zi took a deep breath, calmed his emotions slightly, and hung up the phone.

Afterward, he glanced at Song Song Meina, threw the phone to her, and left the Go academy directly.

Li Zi drove his car, speeding all the way, leaving the busy downtown area and arriving at a ruin on the outskirts of the city.

The area was surrounded by demolition, with broken walls and debris everywhere; all the residents had already moved away.

However, in an inconspicuous corner, a two-story building remained; it was originally an auto repair shop, but it had long since been abandoned.

Li Zi drove his car and stopped at the entrance of the repair shop.

This was the place where Li Zi and Section Chief Kang met, and it was also a secret stronghold established by the police.

Li Zi pushed open an iron gate, entered the interior of the repair shop, and after winding through several turns, arrived at the innermost room, where discarded tires were piled up all around, making it extremely messy.

In the center was a small pool filled with murky, stagnant water, and by the side of the pool sat an old man in his forties or fifties, leaning against a car seat, holding a fishing rod in his hand, fishing leisurely.

However, it was obvious that it was impossible to catch fish in such a stagnant pool.

"You're here."

Section Chief Kang glanced at Li Zi and said.

"Section Chief, how much longer is this going to go on? I've been doing this for so many years, why hasn't the mission ended yet?"

Li Zi walked up to Section Chief Kang and said.

"Since you've already done it for so many years, why not persist a little longer? Trust me, this is the final mission. As long as it is completed successfully, everything will end."

Section Chief Kang said.

"The last time? Last time you told me that as long as I became a director and obtained the high-level information of the Gold Gate Group, the mission could end. And what happened?"

Li Zi said.

"The situation was unavoidable, but this time is different."

Section Chief Kang said nonchalantly.

"What do you mean by unavoidable? You people sitting in offices moving your lips is also called unavoidable?"

Li Zi questioned: "Who exactly came up with this mission?"

"Asking is useless. In this world, only four people know your identity: you, me, Song Song Meina, and Bureau Chief Gao."

Section Chief Kang said.

"Who exactly is it?"

"You brat without a sense of proportion, have you really thought of yourself as a gang member after these years of being undercover? Damn it."

Section Chief Kang snorted, took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag.

"No matter what, I can't go on anymore. I apply to end the mission immediately.

Section Chief Kang, please honor the original agreement and transfer me back to the police force."

Li Zi said.

When Li Zi first agreed to go undercover, Section Chief Kang had guaranteed him that no matter the situation, as long as he felt he couldn't go on, he could end the undercover work at any time and return to the police force.

"Can't do it. If the mission isn't completed, there's no way to transfer you back to the police force."

Section Chief Kang leaned back in his seat, closing his eyes to rest.

"Can't do it? Then I'm not doing it either."

Li Zi was infuriated by Section Chief Kang's actions; he hadn't expected the other party to be too lazy to even find a cover or excuse.

"Fine, then don't do it. Hand in your resignation letter."

Section Chief Kang suddenly said: "It just so happens you've been quite successful in the Gold Gate Group, driving luxury cars, wearing high-end suits, and living in a mansion. After you hand in your resignation, just be your operations director and enjoy life."

"That's true, I guess that kind of life suits you better. The police force's rice bowl isn't easy to eat. How much do you earn a month? It must be quite a lot, right?"

Section Chief Kang said sarcastically.
