The mask was shot off, my husband, you are the king of spy wars

The entrance of Nanming Street.

Silence, deathly silence.

This street corner has become a ghost alley because of the massacre that took place after the Japanese invaders entered the city. Few people live here on weekdays.

The walls on both sides of the street are overgrown with weeds, and the old bricks are broken and chipping away.

Also known as: Ghost Alley.

The alley was eerily quiet in the dark and windy night. Han Congxue walked on the street in her high heels. Even though she had received high-energy training in the Military Control Commission, she couldn't help but feel a chill on her back.

Han Congxue arrived at the location according to the note given by Lin Xia. The cool breeze blew across his heart and made him feel even more uneasy.

"Damn...why did we choose such a terrible place?"

"Is this going to scare me to death..." Han Congxue murmured.

At this moment, a figure walked across the street and heard a voice: "Because, I like quietness."

Han Congxue shuddered as she looked at the figure not far away. He was wearing a ghost mask and night clothes...

"Shadow...Shadow."

"I..."

Before Han Congxue could finish, Shadow suddenly raised his hand and said, "Wait."

"I'd like to take care of a few miscellaneous fish before we talk."

The next second, two flying knives were suddenly thrown out!

Whoosh!

Streets and rooftops on both sides in two directions!

Black clothes, white evil!

Both of them were dressed in black, and there was a blood mark on their faces, with blood dripping from their cheeks.

The two of them stood on the roof and stared at the shadow. At that moment, they had not even reacted, and naturally they didn't know how Lin Xia discovered them.

"Shadow, I've heard of your great name for a long time."

Han Congxue reacted and saw that the two of them were instantly angry, and her face turned red with anger!

"Black-robed White Demon! Didn't I say I would come by myself?"

"You... bastards!"

"Rose, these are the stationmaster's instructions. We are also here to ensure your safety. Please forgive me."

"Go! Go now!" Han Congxue roared in a low voice, a little crazy!

The two paused...

At this moment, Shadow's eyes suddenly turned to stare at him.

The gaze was like a cold blade, and the white evil in black felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave after just one glance!

"Three breaths, leave here."

"I can hurt you or kill you!" Lin Xia said coldly.

The two looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and said, "Let's go!"

...

Finally it was quiet. Han Congxue sighed and walked towards the shadow with some trepidation.

Even though Shadow was wearing a mask, she wanted to see...

The alley was deserted, and as the distance got closer, Lin Xia's heart tightened.

Damn! I came in a hurry this time. I wonder if I forgot to wear my mask...

Although my wife looks a little silly at ordinary times, she is actually a real agent. It is easy to see something from her at close range.

Finally, when they were only five meters away, Lin Xia spoke.

"Okay, stop there."

Han Congxue was stunned and felt a little crazy.

snort!

Why are you so aloof? Can't you come closer?

Well, no, then no.

"Um...thank you for saving my life last time."

"I want to ask you this time..."

Then, Lin Xia continued: "I know why you are here."

"Do something for me and pay me enough."

"Your cousin can be saved."

Han Congxue was delighted. This... is so easy to talk to! ?

"Excuse me, what's the matter? How much is the reward?"

Shadow: "Reward, ten gold bars."

"Also, kill Lin Xia."

The moment the words fell, Han Congxue's expression was shocked, and his eardrums shook!

"Lin...Lin Xia!"

"You want to kill Lin Xia???"

"You are not..."

Shadow: "We are nothing."

As he said that, he threw a sharp broken blade to Han Congxue!

With a "swish", the plug was inserted at Han Congxue's feet.

"Use this knife to kill Lin Xia before tomorrow night."

"If Lin Xia is still alive before tomorrow night, our deal will be void."

After saying this, the shadow turned and left. When Han Congxue bent down to pick up the blade and looked up again, the shadow had disappeared.

At this moment, Han Congxue's hands were trembling slightly as he held the knife, and his expression was a little dazed.

"Kill...Lin Xia..."

"Kill Lin Xia..."

Han Congxue felt extremely complicated at this moment. He even wondered what kind of relationship Lin Xia and Yingzi had.

Why did Shadow want to kill Lin Xia?

"Is it... because of a conflict of interest?"

"Or... Lin Xia has some leverage over Shadow?"

"Or perhaps their previous cooperation was simply for profit, but Shadow had actually wanted to kill the traitor Lin Xia for a long time?"

After thinking about it, Han Congxue still felt that the last reason was the most convincing.

All the previous actions were motivated by profit, but how could a patriotic hero like Shadow possibly be in cahoots with Lin Xia? But for some reason, it was difficult to do it, so now I had to kill Lin Xia!

"Lin Xia, Lin Xia...it seems like traitors like you deserve to be punished by everyone."

...

Han Congxue walked home as if he had lost his soul, his expression dazed, his hand tightly grasping the knife...

Really... do you want to kill your husband...

Lin Xia seems to be... pretty nice to me, right?

If Lin Xia had reported me, I would have lost my life even if I had ten.

No, no, Lin Xia is a traitor!

Wasn't the reason I married him back then so I could better conceal my identity and complete the mission?

But...is Lin Xia really that good to me?

No! Lin Xia is just after my beauty!

Traitor! Deserve to die!

...

A quarter of an hour later, Han Congxue entered the house. Lin Xia had already prepared a table full of dishes waiting for her.

"Hurry up, wife, change your clothes and eat."

"They are all your favorites, braised pork and sweet and sour pork tenderloin."

"Okay...thank you for your hard work..." Han Congxue felt a little uneasy when he saw Lin Xia wearing an apron.

Of course, Lin Xia naturally observed his appearance.

As for why you should do this, if there is someone sleeping next to you who really wants to kill you, would you still be willing to help her?

While eating, Han Congxue seemed absent-minded. When asked about the shadow, she just answered casually with a few words.

In the middle of the night, Lin Xia and Han Congxue were lying on the same bed. Lin Xia had already turned over and pretended to be asleep, leaving Han Congxue alone and restless.

Han Congxue was in a state of confusion, and she was even more confused when she saw Lin Xia sleeping in the dark.

She knew that Shadow was the only one who could save her cousin...

Sitting at the head of the bed, there was even pear soup that Lin Xia had made for him on the bedside table.

Come to think of it...it seems that no one has ever been so kind to me since I was a child...

Finally, Han Congxue made up his mind!

He is a traitor!

Then, he tightly grasped the sharp blade given by Shadow.

"Sorry, traitor, every citizen of Daxia has the right to kill you."

"In your next life...don't be a traitor anymore."
