They were scared, panting for air and lowering their heads to beg for mercy.

"Go back and tell Ji Dongchen that I will find him."

He dropped them on the ground and said, "Why are you still here? Are you waiting for insurance to repair the cars?"

They rapidly jumped into their cars, started the engines after a few tries and managed to leave the scene.

Ji Dongchen angrily sped down the road. He nearly crashed into the fence separating the lanes a few times. Since it was already midnight, the traffic on the road was sparse. Otherwise, he would have caused a major pileup.

He picked up the phone and called Meng Zhaolin.

Normally, Ji Dongchen would not directly contact a person of his caliber, but this time he had to be a bit blunt.

Meng Zhaolin was of the same generation as his father, Ji Jiangshan.

There was no other way to go about this. The thugs he currently had under his command just weren’t capable of bringing down that waiter from the Free Man’s Bar. In order to reclaim face, he had to reach out to someone above himself.

Meng Zhaolin, as Sister Flower said, had the same status and strength as Zhao Jun, and had even surpassed him over the past two years. Ji Dongchen believed that if he could get his help, he would make certain the waiter would end up dead!!

However, someone that powerful shouldn’t be bothered for the sake of dealing with just one insignificant ant. That would be like killing a chicken with a cattle knife. Sister Flower, the Free Man Bar, and even the real boss behind them - Brother Jun - would all be overwhelmed by him!

Ji Dongchen was not stupid. He was well-aware of the bad blood between Meng Zhaolin and Zhao Jun. In fact, he was counting on it. It made it more likely that he’d be willing to kill for someone else.

The following day. A construction site in Fengyang District.

The night was quiet. Qin Feng excitedly rushed over, climbed to the top of the building, and finally saw his good brother, Green Dragon. Many days had passed since they first got separated in the forest.

Green Dragon sat in a leisurely manner on the edge of the guardrail. Below him laid an abyss a dozen stories high, yet he showed no fear.

Upon seeing Qin Feng, his eyes lit up and he ran over. The two tightly embraced. This kind of camaraderie could not be understood by ordinary people.

Qin Feng punched him in the chest. "Damn it! I thought you had died. I couldn’t get in touch with you. I was worried! Where's Green Snake? Why isn't she here?"

"Green Snake... The current was so strong that I had to hold her hand in the water to keep from being separated. The mercenaries on the shore were spraying bullets like crazy. I was shot in the arm and I was forced to let go of Green Snake, but when I tried changing hands to catch her, she had already been swept away. I looked for her for a long time but I couldn’t find her. I searched until I finally decided return by myself. I was waiting for her at the border the other day, but she never showed up. I haven’t seen her since."

As Green Dragon was telling me the story, I could read the sadness in his eyes. Everyone in the Super Warfare Team knew that he liked Green Snake. Although neither of them had ever acknowledged their relationship, the two were very close and everyone was aware of it.

Even though Green Snake’s disappearance was affecting us all, Green Dragon was the saddest.

"What? So she...”

Qin Feng bit on his lower lip. With a ferocious face, he kicked a nearby fire hydrant. The corners of his eyes moistened, "Our four-person team once made an oath: live and die together. We’ve been through so many trials and tribulations together, but we never thought that Xiao He would die in battle, or that Green Snake would disappear. If she’s fallen into the hands of the drug lord, is it even possible that she’s still alive?"

"It's all my fault! It's my fault!"

Green Dragon slapped his own face in anger and tears flowed down his face. For several days, he had been drowning himself in tears at the thought of the beautiful Green Snake and her bright laughter, he felt like he was in some strange dream. He was in denial for some time, but every time he would wake up in early hours of the morning, he would always find that Green Snake, who had always kept him sane, was really gone.

Qin Feng was anxious to comfort Green Dragon. "Come on! We can’t act like this. This is our reality. We are Spec ops. There is always the possibility of death and we should always be mentally prepared for it. With that aside, there have been no news of Green Snake’s death and no news is good news!”

"What are you doing in Tianhe? Come back to the base with me. Although we suffered heavy losses, we successfully completed the mission and we still have to answer to those in command!" said Green Dragon.

"I can't go back just yet, Xiao He died saving my life. Before his death, he asked me to protect his sister, Xiao Jinhua. Sister Flower is here and I have to take care of her."

"That should be simple. Take her to the base. She is a family member of a martyr. The leadership will certainly arrange something for her."

"Martyr? Have you forgotten the nature of our team? None of us have any records. Even if we die, we are nameless. We will not be honored as martyrs dedicated to the Republic and no one will know of our contribution.” Qin Feng said, "Besides, I don’t want to break up Sister Flower’s life. Being around her undercover is the best way to care for her. I think Xiao He, under the nine springs, also thinks so."

"Well, then I'll go back first. Give me the map of the drug lord's nest. I’ll pass it on."

Hearing this, Qin Feng noticed Green dragon's entranced look out of the corner of his eye, but dismissed it. He took out the topographic map from within his pocket and said, "Go ahead and pass this on to those in charge. When everything is stable around here, I'll go back to my position."

Green Dragon was satisfied with the picture. Qin Feng then exchanged a few words about his well-being. The whole encounter lasted no more than ten minutes and he was anxious for it to end.

As he saw Green Dragon depart, Qin Feng sighed. His heart was thinking about the safety of Green Snake. He kept wondering about her safety and wherabouts.

In the capital.

On the second terrace of a private manor in the suburbs, two tall men were discussing something.

"Green Dragon, have you confirmed everything on this topographic map? Are there any mistakes?"

The speaker, with his golden glasses and height of 1.8 meters, was dressed in a casual white suit and had a pointed face. He had the appearance of a classic gentleman. He was Major General Gu Shaoyun, the commander of the Special Forces.

He commanded Qin Feng's Super Warfare Team. He was also a member of the special combat team, a strong fighter. He had been in accident some time ago and was seriously injured. This had forced him to retire to the second line. With excellent command, judgment, and negotiation ability, he was promoted from major to major general and put in charge of the Republic's Special Forces with the title of "Spec Ops general."

"I don't think so. We went to the location marked on the map, but the Golden Triangle drug lords are very cunning. The nest is very well-hidden. Qin Feng deliberately exposed himself and was seized by the drug traffickers. He was blindfolded and brought into the old nest, while we waited for him in the dense woods five miles away. Relying on his strong sense of direction, he escaped in the middle of the night and marked the topographic map from memory. By the time the drug lords figured out he’d escaped, he’d stolen Shark Kun’s best-kept secret - a list of all the major mainland strongholds that the drugs are being sold to. Practically the entire Golden Triangle’s mercenary army came after us. They chased us the whole way back, it was a miracle that we ever made it out."

Green Dragon was honest and concise.

Gu Shaoyun asked cautiously, "Are you sure that, apart from you, only Qin Feng himself has seen this picture?"
