"What time is it now?"

Wang Feng was locked inside the building and didn’t know how much time had passed.

"You were brought to this building three days ago. It’s now the 16th, four-thirty in the afternoon."

The 16th?

Hearing the date, Wang Feng was slightly stunned, with a gleam in his eyes.

"Let me borrow the phone, I need to make a call. Number Four has a major deal tonight, I have to notify the captain for the arrest!"

The reason Wang Feng stayed close to Number Four was to gather criminal evidence against him.

Actually, Number Four had been under Cai Yongqiang’s surveillance since last year, but he was very cautious.

Since appearing on the police’s radar, he hadn’t made any major moves, or if he did, they went undetected.

While Wang Feng was being tortured over the past couple of days, he overheard the bald man and Wu Lei talking about a major deal tonight involving Number Four.

However, they didn’t mention the exact location.

Lu Chuan handed his phone to Wang Feng, who quickly dialed Cai Yongqiang’s number.

"Captain, it’s me!"

Cai Yongqiang, from the Anti-drug Detachment, looked worried for the past two days.

Wang Feng went undercover last year, a person personally picked by him.

Back then, before graduating, the whole class, including Lu Chuan, Yang Lin, Zhao Tianyu, and Wang Feng, attended a confidentiality training session.

That training was essentially Cai Yongqiang’s selection process.

Only four from the entire grade were chosen; the rest weren’t selected.

Later, Wang Feng’s undercover training was also personally arranged by Cai Yongqiang, who even imparted some of his own experience.

Thus, it was fair to say Wang Feng was like a half-disciple to Cai Yongqiang.

Having disappeared for three days, Wang Feng’s whereabouts were unknown, neither living nor dead, with no news if his cover was blown. Cai Yongqiang couldn’t sleep at night.

At one point, Cai Yongqiang even thought of directly capturing Number Four to force the whereabouts of Wang Feng.

When the phone rang and he saw Lu Chuan’s number, Cai Yongqiang promptly answered.

But he never expected Wang Feng’s voice on the other end.

"You’re not dead?"

Wang Feng: "..."

Do I look like someone who’s short-lived?

My captain... doesn’t seem too bright, does he?

There was no time to explain how he was rescued. In fact, Wang Feng himself wasn’t sure—it seemed like someone performed CPR?

Ugh! The hell, that was my first kiss! 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Captain Cai, there’s a major deal involving Number Four tonight, but the exact time and place are unknown."

Mentioning the mission, Cai Yongqiang instantly calmed down.

"Is the information reliable?"

"It’s reliable; it was confirmed by his foreign bodyguard."

"But even this bodyguard doesn’t know the specific time and place of the operation. I wonder if we should initiate high-level surveillance on Number Four now?"

Checking the time, Cai Yongqiang saw it was already four fifty in the afternoon.

"Alright, I’ll arrange for it."

Cai Yongqiang’s team had always been monitoring Number Four, but from a distance.

It seemed like they needed to conduct a close investigation, focusing on identifying the time and place of Number Four’s operation tonight.

Real-life crimes aren’t always like those portrayed in movies.

Sometimes a brief encounter is all it takes to complete a deal.

It’s not always about two groups meeting in some rundown factory with a tense atmosphere like a gang fight.

Such criminal activities are often very secretive and not easily detected, making it even harder to gather concrete evidence.

After Wang Feng fully regained his mobility, they loaded Wu Lei and the bald man into a vehicle.

As for Lu Chuan, Yang Lin, and Zhang Hui, regardless of how Wang Feng’s undercover mission turned out, they had completed their task by finding and rescuing Wang Feng.

"Let’s go, we’ll give you a good welcome and call your parents to let them know you’re safe."

"Old Yang, let’s not inform the family just yet."

What?

Yang Lin was slightly taken aback, then slapped Wang Feng on the shoulder: "Damn, don’t you have a conscience? Do you know how your parents have been this past year because of this?"

"And when they helped us file the missing person report, your dad looked like he aged several years overnight."

Although they cooperated with Yang Lin to file the report, Wang Feng’s parents didn’t know he went undercover.

Wang Feng gave a bitter smile; he understood what his parents endured over the past year.

But because of this, he couldn’t just go back now.

"Let’s see how Captain Cai’s operation goes. I was thinking... if there’s time, I’d like Captain Cai to take me home in uniform tonight."

Going home in uniform...

Lu Chuan, Yang Lin, and Zhang Hui all paused in surprise.

To ordinary police officers, wearing their uniform is not extraordinary at all.

Many officers from local police stations and offices even grow sick of wearing their uniforms.

With just a few sets of police uniforms worn repeatedly every day, unable to wear casual clothes, it’s natural to get tired of them.

But for some types of police work, wearing a uniform is a luxury.

For example, in Wang Feng’s Anti-drug Detachment.

Officers working internally, who don’t go on field missions, generally wear uniforms as they face fewer risks.

But those engaged in field operations and arrest missions rarely have the chance to wear their uniforms.

Especially undercover officers like Wang Feng; as long as their mission is ongoing, they can’t return to wearing uniforms.

Lu Chuan once heard a story about an undercover cop.

An undercover police officer, due to the need to keep his identity confidential, always returned home in secret.

Later, his wife got pregnant and had a big baby boy.

But neighbors never saw the woman’s husband come back, raising questions on how she got pregnant.

Rumors spread for years, neighbors constantly talking behind her back.

Only the woman knew what her husband was doing, but she couldn’t say.

Finally, one day, the man’s undercover mission was completed, allowing him to return home openly.

He was slapped several times by his wife.

She made him wear his uniform and stand at the doorway.

She wanted everyone to know she had a husband and her child had a father.

Without having been an undercover cop, one can never fully grasp how arduous the job is.

Lu Chuan and Yang Lin had only heard tales, but Wang Feng lived through it.

They both said nothing, gently patting Wang Feng on the shoulder.

This experience would undoubtedly become Wang Feng’s most significant and unforgettable part of his career.

Meanwhile, as Lu Chuan was wrapping up, Cai Yongqiang’s work reached its most critical phase.

At five-thirty, Target Number Four left his residence, driving away alone.

Following behind, Cai Yongqiang personally led the team.

"Follow him!"
