Zhang Wei's voice came from the other end of the phone, calm but slightly nervous: "It's okay, I'll wait for you, but hurry up, the situation tonight is a bit complicated."

After hanging up the phone, Su Ming started the car and quickly drove into the night street. His mind kept recalling past mission experiences. Tonight's meeting was obviously not a simple one. Zhang Wei's tone was a warning, and he had to be more careful.

When he arrived at the cafe, it was almost half past eight. The cafe was deserted and sparsely populated. Su Ming immediately spotted Zhang Wei, sitting in the corner. His expression was grim.

Su Ming walked over and sat down opposite Zhang Wei. "Sorry, I'm late."

Zhang Wei looked up at him and said calmly, "It's okay, I just got here too." He then pulled out a small plate from his pocket and pushed it in front of Su Ming. "This is the detailed information about the mission."

Su Ming took the plate and didn't rush to check it. Instead, he asked in a low voice, "What's going on? You said things were a little complicated tonight."

Zhang Wei leaned in closer and lowered his voice. "According to the higher-ups, the target involved in this mission is not a simple one. They have multiple bases in the city, and they've likely noticed we're watching them."

“Who is the target? His expression became more serious.

"An organization called 'Equator' specializes in high-tech espionage and has an unfathomable background. Our target this time is one of their key local members—Shen Chen. On the surface, he's a successful entrepreneur, but in reality, he holds a wealth of Equator's core secrets." Zhang Wei paused, then continued, "Your mission is to approach him and obtain the crucial intelligence he holds."

"Get close to him? You mean to ask me to infiltrate his circle? Such a mission is not only dangerous, but also requires extremely high concealment.

"Yes, Shen Chen is looking for a new business partner recently. His company is expanding its market share. The higher-ups think this is a good opportunity. You can get into his circle by playing the role of an investment consultant." Zhang Wei explained, with a hint of worry in his eyes. "However, you have to be careful. Shen Chen is not an easy person to deal with. He is very vigilant. He has already started thinking about the next action plan. He knows that this mission is definitely not an easy task, and he must continue to maintain his daily work in the company without revealing any flaws.

“How long do I need to complete the task? Trying to determine a time frame.

Zhang Wei glanced at him, his tone becoming more serious. "This is a long-term mission, with no clear deadline. You must slowly infiltrate, gain their trust, and then find an opportunity to obtain intelligence."

Su Ming secretly thought that this meant he would have to maintain his dual identity in this city for a longer period of time. This not only required him to be flawless in his daily work, but also to be cautious and careful when carrying out his missions, so as not to arouse the target's suspicion.

"Okay, I'll start as soon as possible." Su Ming finally said, his tone revealing determination.

Zhang Wei nodded, his expression still serious. "Su Ming, this mission is of great importance. Don't be careless. You are the person we trust the most, so this mission is entrusted to you." A hint of confidence flashed in his eyes. "I know what to do."

After their brief conversation, Su Ming took the tray and left the café. He knew he was destined for a sleepless night. Returning to his small apartment in the city center, Su Ming immediately began to review the information on the tray. It was incredibly detailed, outlining Shen Chen's personal background, the company's operations, and his connections to the Equator organization.

Shen Chen, a 35-year-old local entrepreneur, ostensibly owned a successful technology company. In reality, his company was a local outpost of the Equator organization, specializing in intelligence gathering and technological development. Even more problematic, Shen Chen maintained a very low profile and rarely appeared in public, making all his actions shrouded in mystery.

Su Ming realized that it would not be easy to approach Shen Chen, especially when he was on high alert. However, as an agent, Su Ming had rich experience and strong psychological qualities, and he knew how to stay calm and achieve his goals in complex situations.

For the next few days, Su Ming continued to get off work and leave work according to his usual schedule, trying his best to appear normal. He continued to work diligently at the company, maintaining a polite yet distant relationship with his colleagues, ensuring that no one would pay special attention to him.

Meanwhile, Su Ming began to obtain more information about Shen Chen through various channels. He noticed that Shen Chen was recently looking for new investment opportunities and had already made preliminary contacts with several large investment companies. Su Ming decided to take advantage of this opportunity and gradually approached Shen Chen by posing as an experienced investment advisor.

With Zhang Wei's help, Su Ming quickly obtained some forged identity documents, including business cards, briefs, and other documents.

Su Ming began to investigate the target company.

Su Ming stood in front of the target company's building and glanced up at the modern glass structure. As a high-tech enterprise, the building's design exuded a futuristic feel, reflecting the bustling city life. He took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, straightened his collar, and prepared to enter the company as an "investment advisor" to begin his new assignment.

After entering the building, Su Ming walked straight to the front desk and politely said to the receptionist, "Hello, I'm Zhang Chen, and I have an appointment with Mr. Li."

The receptionist looked at Su Ming with a smile, then confirmed his appointment on the computer. "Please wait a moment. I'll notify Mr. Li for you." She dialed the internal line. "Mr. Li, your guest, Zhang Chen, has arrived." The receptionist nodded to Su Ming. "Mr. Li will be down shortly. Please wait a moment."

A few minutes later, a middle-aged man in a well-tailored suit approached, a professional smile on his face. He was Su Ming's first hurdle on this mission: Mr. Li—Li Zhiming, a senior executive at the company responsible for liaising with external investors.

"Mr. Zhang, I've long heard of you. Welcome." Li Zhiming extended his hand. Su Ming politely shook hands with him and felt the warmth and strength of his palm, with the confidence of a seasoned businessman.

"Mr. Li, you're too kind. I'm just an ordinary investment consultant." I responded modestly.

"No, no, Mr. Zhang is a well-known senior consultant in the industry. I'm very honored to have the opportunity to cooperate with him today." Li Zhiming said with a hearty smile, and then made an inviting gesture, "Let's go upstairs and discuss it in detail?" Following Li Zhiming into the elevator, the two chatted all the way, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.
