Spy Wars: I'm the boss, who am I afraid of?

As soon as Hu Yunkai finished speaking, a flash of embarrassment flashed across Tang Xiaoxiao's face, and then she couldn't help laughing. She tried hard to hold back her laughter, but the corners of her mouth still turned up, and her eyes flashed with mischief. "Haha, Babao Duck, this name is really interesting." She finally couldn't help but laughed out loud.

Hu Yunkai looked at her and laughed too. He patted Tang Xiaoxiao on the shoulder and said, "Don't laugh at me. This name was originally meant to confuse the enemy. Now, try the Eight Treasure Duck I made and see if it suits your taste."

Tang Xiaoxiao took the food box from Hu Yunkai and opened the lid. A fragrant aroma filled her nose, making her salivate. She picked up a piece of duck meat and took a bite. It was soft and mellow, and she couldn't help but praise it: "It's delicious, even more delicious than I imagined!"

Hu Yunkai and Lan Yajun smiled at each other, and the tension and worry in their hearts instantly dissipated. Did they really not expect that the special comrade sent by the headquarters was so young? However, it was really amazing that he could enter Yuncheng without anyone noticing.

Hu Yunkai smiled and said to Tang Xiaoxiao, "As long as you like it, just tell me what you want to eat in the future. Whether it's delicacies from land and sea or street snacks, as long as you want, I will do my best to prepare it for you." His eyes were full of care and commitment, as if he was willing to be her support in this strange city.

"After you finish your meal, I will take you to settle down." Lan Yajun took over the conversation and said gently, "Here, you are the niece of the old Hu family - Hu Meimei. And I am your aunt." Lan Yajun's words were filled with maternal warmth.

Tang Xiaoxiao smiled slightly and responded, "Okay, uncle and aunt. I will adapt to this place as soon as possible." Her eyes flashed with gratitude and a hint of anticipation.

Hu Yunkai looked at the time, sighed softly, and said to Tang Xiaoxiao, "Meimei, take your time eating. Your uncle still has some guests to entertain. If anything happens or you need anything." His tone was firm yet gentle, which made people feel at ease.

Tang Xiaoxiao nodded and responded softly: "Okay, uncle. You go ahead and do your thing. I will take care of myself."

Lan Yajun walked to the large French window and slowly opened the curtains. The sunlight, like golden threads, instantly filled the entire room, illuminating everyone's face and their hearts. Hu Yunkai looked more resolute under the sunlight, while Tang Xiaoxiao was like a budding flower, full of vitality and hope. And Lan Yajun was like the sun that protected them and gave them warmth and light.

At night, Yunkai Restaurant in Yunzhou City quietly closed its curtains under the starry sky, and the bustling city gradually sank into silence. Hu Yunkai and his wife walked into Tang Xiaoxiao's room. The lights were soft, and the air was filled with a tense and serious atmosphere. The three of them sat around the table and began their small meeting.

Hu Yunkai, with a firm look in his eyes, was the first to break the silence: "Xiaoxiao, Comrade Lanhua has told us in detail about your experience in Yunzhou. We admire your courage and wisdom. In such a complicated situation, you were able to successfully obtain intelligence, which is something we all need to learn. But please remember that we are an organized and disciplined team. Sometimes, we can't just act on passion, and we can't ignore our mission. Your abilities are obvious to all, but we are one, and mistakes in any link may bring immeasurable losses to the entire team. However, you saved the folks in Dayang Village, which is commendable. It is better to teach a man how to fish than to teach him how to fish."

Tang Xiaoxiao lowered her head and listened to the criticism carefully, with ripples in her heart. She was used to the pleasure of revenge in the world of martial arts, but she forgot her new identity and responsibilities in this special era.

Upon seeing this, Lan Yajun immediately stepped forward to comfort her. Her gentle words were like a spring breeze: "Xiaoxiao, it's good that you know you were wrong. Don't take it to heart." She turned and gave Hu Yunkai a look, with a hint of love in her reproach.

Hu Yunkai was also full of contradictions. He was unwilling to speak harshly to this clever girl, but for the safety of the organization, he had to say something. He knew the dangers of underground work, and a small negligence could lead to total failure.

Clearing his throat, Hu Yunkai continued: "Now, let's talk about business. Xiaoxiao, do you know what your mission is this time?" Tang Xiaoxiao shook her head. After she assassinated Ono Kikuko in the hospital, she was escorted by Comrade Huang Que onto a train to Yan'an.

Hu Yunkai went on to explain: "We have an expert who returned from the Great Bear Country, escorted by our comrades, passing through Yunzhou to Yan'an. Another line of the Yunzhou underground party organization was responsible for the connection, but when they met at the Wanxiang International Guesthouse, the Japanese army suddenly broke in due to the betrayal of a traitor. All the comrades on that line died heroically. The surviving escort comrades managed to protect the expert before he died and arranged his funeral. The Japanese army of the Special High Technology Department could not confirm the identity of the expert, so they detained everyone in the guesthouse in Dongqiao Prison."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiaoxiao's anger was evident in her words: "Who is that traitor? I hate guys like this who sell out their country for personal gain the most!" She clenched her teeth, anger burning in her eyes.

Hu Yunkai sighed, his expression heavy: "The owner of the Xinghuo Teahouse is one of ours, codenamed 'Shadow'. Unfortunately, the traitor is his son. Comrade Shadow fought a desperate battle with the Japanese army in Wanxiang International, and finally died heroically, and he also killed his own son with his own hands." He felt mixed emotions and didn't know how to express it.

"Damn, this is..." Tang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but curse in a low voice. The father of a hero gave birth to a son who was as stupid as a bear.

Lan Yajun reminded at the right time: "Girls can't say dirty words." Tang Xiaoxiao stuck out her tongue playfully. Her aunt's words reminded her of her mother who was thousands of miles away, and she couldn't help but miss her.

However, this was not the time to indulge in personal feelings. Tang Xiaoxiao put away her thoughts and asked, "So, what is my mission?"

Hu Yunkai's gaze fell on her, he took a deep breath, and prepared to reveal her mission. This mission would determine the success or failure of the entire action plan, and would also test Tang Xiaoxiao's determination and wisdom.

Hu Yunkai's eyes were deep and firm, and his words echoed like thunder in the quiet conference room. He folded his hands in front of his chest, and his solemn expression seemed to tell of the severe challenges he was about to face.

"Tang Xiaoxiao, your mission," he said slowly, each word as if cast in iron and stone, "is to sneak into Dongqiao Prison, find the crucial expert, and then try to bring him out safely. This is not only our most urgent task at the moment, but also your primary goal of this trip to Yunzhou."

Hu Yunkai paused and continued, "We don't know why the headquarters chose you. Maybe it was because of your special skills, your calm judgment, or even your determination and courage. But no matter what the reason, the headquarters' decision must have its deep meaning. Our trust in the organization is unwavering, and we have the same confidence in you."

Tang Xiaoxiao sat there, her heart stirred by Hu Yunkai's words. She could feel the heavy responsibility on her shoulders, but her eyes were bright and full of determination. She stood up, her straight body like a pine tree, fearless of wind and rain.

"I will do my best to live up to the trust of the organization." Her voice was soft, but it contained endless determination. She raised her right hand and saluted in a standard military salute. The action was clean and neat, just like her personality, without a trace of distraction.

"I promise to complete the mission." Her oath was so powerful that it lit a fire in the silent room and illuminated everyone's heart. Every word and every promise was deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone present and became their common belief.

Hu Yunkai looked at her and nodded slightly, with admiration glittering in his eyes.
