Spy Wars: Strong Agents Who Are Ruthless and Talk Little

Chapter 161 The Shadow of Power Struggle

On one occasion, the enemy even sent a traitor into Su Ming's ranks. The traitor's disguise was so clever that even Su Ming failed to detect it immediately. It wasn't until the traitor's flaws were exposed during an operation that Su Ming realized he had been being manipulated. This lapse deeply frustrated Su Ming, and he began to question his own judgment and doubt his ability to deal with the enemy before him.

"Do you really believe that you can defeat us?" The enemy sent a provocative message through the secret channel. It was a short sentence, but it was like a sharp knife piercing Su Ming's heart.

Su Ming didn't respond, but a turbulent wave surged within him. He knew this was merely a tactic of the enemy, but the words stirred a vague sense of unease within him. His usual confidence seemed to waver in this invisible battle.

Choices under pressure

Under such pressure, Su Ming knew he had to make a difficult decision. He understood that the enemy wouldn't give him much time. If he continued to be passive, not only would he and his teammates be in dire straits, but the entire mission would also fail.

After careful consideration, Su Ming decided to take the initiative. He formulated a bold counterattack plan, the core of which was to sacrifice some interests in exchange for overall victory. He was well aware of the risks of this choice. If it failed, not only himself but also his entire team could become victims of the enemy. But Su Ming had no choice; he had to gamble everything.

As he formulated his plan, Su Ming repeatedly considered various possibilities, taking into account every detail, striving to ensure a foolproof outcome. He pondered over and over in his mind that every step of the plan could be the difference between life and death.

"If sacrificing a few people can achieve victory for the overall situation, what will you choose?" Su Ming asked himself in his heart.

He didn't answer immediately, but fell into deep thought. His heart was filled with conflict and pain. On the one hand, he had to consider the overall situation and not let his emotions cloud his judgment. On the other hand, he couldn't ignore his comrades fighting beside him. They were living beings, partners he trusted and relied on.

But in the end, Su Ming chose the greater good. He knew that in a battle like this, personal life and death must give way to a higher goal. This was his mission as an intelligence officer, and it was also his promise to himself and all his comrades.

Sacrifice and counterattack

Su Ming's plan began to unfold. To cover the team's retreat, he deliberately leaked false intelligence, luring the enemy to focus their forces on this point. This false intelligence revealed the team's whereabouts and retreat route, and upon receiving this information, the enemy launched an all-out attack on Su Ming.

With immense courage and wisdom, Su Ming personally led a small group of troops to distract the enemy, while the rest of the team took advantage of the opportunity to retreat to safety. The entire plan proceeded with utmost efficiency, though Su Ming's group paid a heavy price, nearly all of them annihilated. However, thanks to their sacrifice, the task force successfully escaped danger, preserving the mission's core.

Su Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief when the last member of his team safely retreated. He knew his choice was the right one, but that didn't alleviate the pain in his heart. He watched his comrades fall one after another, and the heaviness in his heart deepened. These sacrifices were all part of his plan, and he understood that, but that didn't mean he could accept them easily.

"I'm sorry..." Su Ming silently apologized to his fallen comrades in his heart. He knew he had to learn to accept it all, to endure the pain and guilt. This was the inevitable price of being a spy.

Reversal of the war

As the enemy concentrated their forces to attack Su Ming's false intelligence, the originally precarious situation began to change. The enemy's actions fell into Su Ming's trap and were unable to adjust their strategy in time. Su Ming's action team used this precious window of time to regroup and prepare for a counterattack.

Su Ming exploited the enemy's negligence and quickly planned a counterattack. He knew this counterattack would be the key to turning the tide of the battle and that it must be a fatal blow, leaving the enemy no chance to breathe. After careful planning and coordination, Su Ming's counterattack began.

In this counterattack, Su Ming demonstrated his full potential as a top-tier intelligence operative. He combined intelligence, force, and psychological tactics, each move executed with unparalleled precision, leaving the enemy powerless to fight back. His command flowed like flowing water, and every instruction struck home the enemy's vital points.

The enemy retreated step by step under Su Ming's counterattack, and the situation they had previously dominated began to collapse. Su Ming took advantage of the enemy's illusions and fears, continuously expanding the fruits of victory, and finally completely reversed the situation and forced the enemy into a dead end.

Inner Struggle

After the battle, Su Ming stood in the ruins, gazing at the distant battlefield. He had won, successfully turning the tide and completing his mission. But he felt no joy of victory. The thoughts of his fallen comrades, the enemies he had deliberately lured into his trap, lingered in his mind.

"Am I doing the right thing?" he asked himself.

He understood that as a spy, he had to learn to bear these costs. Victory often came with sacrifice, and these sacrifices were the only way to victory. But even so, Su Ming couldn't shake the inner struggle. He knew he had made the right choice, but that didn't mean he could accept it so easily.

"I must persevere," Su Ming said to himself. He knew that he could not

Su Ming stood in the dark corridor, his heart pounding. Despite his recent victory, a lingering sense of oppression lingered. The aftermath of the battle had yet to dissipate, and within Juntong, turmoil was brewing once again. This time, the spearhead was directed at Zheng Yaoxian, the mentor he once revered as a father figure.

The shadow of power struggle

Since the last decisive battle, the situation within Juntong has become even more complex. The once seemingly stable organizational structure now appears fragile amidst the power struggle. Those who usually remain inconspicuous are gradually revealing their ambitions and lust for power. Su Ming can sense this shift in the atmosphere: those voices that were once silent have become sharp and aggressive.

What made Su Ming most uneasy was that Zheng Yaoxian was at the center of this struggle. His mentor, who had always been known for his calmness and wisdom, was now facing tremendous pressure from within.
