Chapter 646: Do You Not Value Your Life?

Book Chapter 646: Do You Not Value Your Life? (Chapter 4 Update)

On a flight to Country D. Lin

With his eyes closed, Xiao Yu finally grasped the core of Big Boss’s reason for summoning him.

To wear a crown, you must bear its weight!

In other words, if you want to reap greater rewards, you’ll have to pay an equally steep price.

Every development has its dual nature, yet everything remains fair…

And he understood exactly what Big Boss planned to do.

He intended to use meritorious deeds to build a National Security throne for him within five years!

What? You think being young makes you unfit for this position?

Fine then—let me slap you with colossal achievements and countless merits.

Come on, think before you speak!

The accolades are right there—how can you let others see you without your rightful place?

A divided heart makes leading a team impossible!

“Big Boss sure plays hardball!”

Slowly opening his eyes, Xiao Yu’s expression filled with a mix of complexity and shock.

So is this what ‘603’ stands for—a tycoon’s grandeur and generosity?

The path may be paved for you, but you must be tough enough to walk it.

So he wants me to risk my life… Xiao Yu thought, cursing under his breath.

Either perish or soar to the heavens.

What would a normal person choose?

Xiao Yu was no ordinary man.

I only ever wanted to be a small-time cop.

I never had any plans to rub shoulders with the elite.

Is forcing a duck onto a perch really fun?

Then suddenly, a sense of insecurity washed over him… Xiao Yu felt a chill, missing the warmth of his sister’s embrace.

…

15 hours later.

Country D, Bremen.

After clearing security, grabbing his suitcase, and stepping out of the terminal,

Xiao Yu noticed someone outside holding up a sign with his name.

Zhao Jun!

Indeed, his current identity was Zhao Jun—a rich second-generation with a passion for globetrotting.

His father, a mobile phone manufacturer.

His mother, an associate professor at a university.

National Security guaranteed authenticity and a legal identity.

Xiao Yu could confidently announce to everyone, ‘Tonight, Young Master Zhao picks up the tab!’

The sign was held by a young man. As Xiao Yu stepped out, his eyes lit up.

“Young Master Zhao!”

The young man beamed an enthusiastic smile.

Xiao Yu: …

Who set up this secret signal?

He thought this guy might be a bit off his rocker!

“At this pace, you’re just asking to be taken advantage of.”

Xiao Yu grinned warmly at the young man before him.

He couldn’t believe the young man didn’t recognize his own face.

So, was this deliberate?

Young Man: …

His cheerful smile never faltered as he joked, “Just kidding—let’s go. The hotel arrangements are all set.”

“Hmm.”

Xiao Yu nodded and left the airport with the young man, catching a taxi.

Twenty minutes later, they arrived at a five-star hotel.

Hotels might be among the least secure places,

yet paradoxically, also the safest havens.

They truly blend into the crowd!

After checking in, they entered the guest room.

Xiao Yu watched calmly as the young man walked around the room, then produced a palm-sized device which he scanned around before returning to his side.

At attention! Salute!

“Team Five, Li Xingyao!”

Without any nonsense, his voice was low; the young man’s eyes burned with excitement as he looked at Xiao Yu.

It was as if he were gazing at an idol… Xiao Yu wondered.

Had he ever done something earth-shattering in the past?

Or has he even met this Li Xingyao before?

“Team Leader, we’ve been connected for ages!”

Li Xingyao lowered his hand and chuckled.

‘Connected for ages’… a phrase that made Xiao Yu’s lips twitch.

He always found those words oddly unsettling.

They reminded him too much of those men with cameras on their heads from his previous life!

“After 15 hours, what have you discovered?”

Xiao Yu wasn’t about to waste time on idle chatter—time is life.

The life of that one ‘lone sapling’!

“Defense Bureau!”

Li Xingyao’s smile vanished as he said, “17 and 18 were taken by them!”

17 was the code name for Song Jiaxi.

18 belonged to another member of the Special Forces.

“And how did you uncover that?”

Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes, his gaze as sharp as a knife, coldly staring at Li Xingyao.

If his counterpart showed even the slightest hint of weakness, he wouldn’t hesitate to act.

Kill without mercy!

That was a lesson Shen Mei had taught him.

Special Forces is a rather unique profession,

especially for those on overseas assignments.

They could be comrades… or enemies.

After a meeting, the most crucial step was to verify ‘identity’…

In a flash, an intangible aura began to emanate from Xiao Yu.

Perhaps he wasn’t even aware that he possessed such an aura.

Wang Dong had warned Xiao Yu once,

saying that the ‘killing intent’ within him was growing heavier…

It was inevitable.

Running missions between Bincheng and National Security, case after case was cracked, one task after another completed.

Xiao Yu’s hands were long stained with blood; countless lives had been lost.

It was as if he were living out Wang Dong’s tale of the ‘guard dog versus the dog killer.’

When a formidable dog faces a ruthless dog-killer, even its murderous aura crumbles in fear.

When a man senses the killing intent from a fellow human—with that intent stemming from the value of human life—

Li Xingyao’s face instantly paled, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

He wants to kill me!

Yet Li Xingyao didn’t panic or flee. He gulped hard and quickly said, “It was Dandelion—using secret channels. They sacrificed an insider to crack it!”

Dandelion? What exactly is that?

It’s a code name—internationally recognized, though by different names.

It could be a person, a network, a collective of seeds, or even the enemy!

None of this has anything to do with Xiao Yu.

He studied Li Xingyao’s eyes, expressions, and movements,

finally confirming, ‘he’s one of us!’

“Don’t worry.”

Xiao Yu said solemnly, “Well done!”

“Phew!”

Li Xingyao exhaled deeply, realizing his clothes were soaked with cold sweat from the scare.

For a moment, he felt as though he’d been jolted off the doorstep of hell.

Thankfully, he had survived.

He bore no grudges.

3.9: Some ‘procedures’ simply must be followed.

Yet Li Xingyao remained clueless about the method Xiao Yu used to verify identity.

If I had truly betrayed them, I’d probably be a corpse by now, right?

So this is what the leader of Team 10 is like?

A spark of fervor reignited in his eyes,

though not the kind of fanaticism one would expect.

Big Brother was right—he truly was terrifying!

Just who was Li Xingyao’s Big Brother?

A member of Group Nine—a battle-hardened veteran.

He might not have been as promising as his own Big Brother,

but he had still become part of National Security Special Ops.

Then, in the next moment, Li Xingyao’s words left him utterly stunned.

“Tonight, I’ll pay a visit to the enemy’s Defense Bureau!”

Xiao Yu delivered the line with nonchalant calm.

Li Xingyao: (￣□￣)

Are you from Shengmajiatun Men’s Technical College?

No, don’t you value your life?
