   "Your Highness, don't be sad, old slave..." The old man couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw that the young man was silent and frowned deeply. "Lao He, I'm fine, don't worry, it's not the first time." A handsome young man shook his head slightly. There was a slight chill in my heart. He, the ninth prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Su Qi, yes, his name is Su Qi, abandoned Qi, this is a good name given to him by his emperor. As his name suggests, he lived in the third year of Emperor Qingzong of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In that year, when he happened to be three years old, the Great Zhou Dynasty failed in the war with Beihuang and was forced to cede three cities. The ninth prince of Great Zhou Dynasty, Su Qi, was sent to Beihuang as a hostage. It's been sixteen years since I left. For sixteen years, he was held hostage by other countries and suffered humiliation. The thought of a three-year-old child being taken as hostage in another country made the personal servant He An secretly wipe his tears every time he thought about it. Three years old. Today, he is nineteen years old and has grown into a young and handsome boy. Now, Zhiman has returned, but... Looking at the deserted streets and the deserted city gate, He An felt both angry and desperate. After all, he was also a prince, and after all, he was also the ninth prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He An, the former general of Beiguan, for a moment, his eyes turned red and his chest filled with depression. "He An, I told you, I'm fine, no need to make a fuss. Let's go into the city." Looking at the huge Anjing City, Su Qi frowned slightly, jumped off his horse, and led the old horse into the city.

   [The God of Bird Food][The God of Bird Food][The God of Bird Food] The archive room was filled with a faint smell of camphor, and the incandescent lamp overhead made a slight buzzing sound. Zhao Hongqi's fingers stopped on a certain page of the file, and his brows wrinkled unconsciously. "In August 1993, three people were detained due to a street fight that resulted in serious injuries, but they were not prosecuted because of self-defense?" Zhao Hongqi raised his head and looked at Director Han, "What is this kid's background?" Director Han pushed up his glasses, and a complicated look flashed through his eyes behind the lenses. "Lei Zhen, 21 years old, his father is a former special forces instructor, and his mother died young. He grew up in a military compound. He was able to disassemble and assemble pistols at the age of ten. He began receiving formal combat training at the age of twelve." Zhao Hongqi whistled and continued to scroll down. "His grades in school... A+ in fighting, A+ in shooting, B in investigation, and D in legal knowledge?" He couldn't help laughing, "This kid is very partial to subjects." "Not only that," Director Han sighed, "He also injured two instructors last semester." "What?" Zhao Hongqi slammed the file shut, "Students hitting instructors? That's not bad!" "The specific situation is very complicated." Director Han walked to the window and lit a cigarette. "The two instructors were suspected of corporally punishing the students, and Lei Zhen stood up for the students. After investigation, it was found that there was indeed inappropriate behavior, so he was only given a warning." Zhao Hongqi nodded thoughtfully and opened the file again. The young man in the photo has sharp eyes and a rebellious look on his chiseled face. This was not a look that ordinary police academy cadets would have - there was wildness, murderous intent, and an unsettling calmness in it. "This is the kind of person I need." Zhao Hongqi whispered. "Director Zhao, I must remind you again," Director Han turned around, his expression extremely serious in the smoke, "Lei Zhen is not an ordinary student. After his father died in the line of duty, he wandered on the streets for two years until he was discovered by the old principal and brought back to the police academy. He understands the rules of the underworld and how to survive in the gray area, but because of this, he is difficult to control." Zhao Hongqi stood up and walked to the window to stand side by side with Director Han. "Old Han, do you know what is going on in Hui'an City now? 'Longmeng' has controlled 70% of the city's entertainment venues, and their thugs are better equipped than our police. We need someone who can blend in with them without being assimilated by them." "Lei Zhen is indeed the best candidate," Director Han put out his cigarette butt, "but the risk is also the greatest. If he loses control..." "Then I will be responsible." Zhao Hongqi said firmly, "arrange for me to see him." --- In the fighting gym of the police academy, the sounds of fists and kicks could be heard one after another. Zhao Hongqi stood in the corner, his eyes locked on the vigorous figure in the center of the field. Lei Zhen was sparring with three students. His movements were clean and neat, without any unnecessary tricks, and every blow went straight to the point. A student tried to sneak attack from behind. Lei Zhen, as if he had eyes on his back, dodged sideways and elbowed the opponent in the ribs. The student immediately fell to the ground holding his stomach. "Beautiful counterattack." Zhao Hongqi couldn't help but applaud. Practice on the field came to a halt. Lei Zhen wiped his sweat and narrowed his eyes to look at this strange middle-aged man. "Who are you?" "Zhao Hongqi, Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Bureau." Lei Zhen's expression did not change at all, he just nodded slightly. "Hello, sir." His voice was low and steady, without any flattery or fear. Looking closely, Zhao Hongqi found that Lei Zhen was leaner and stronger than in the photo. His bare arms were covered with small scars, and there was an obvious old injury on his right eyebrow bone, which made his eyes even more fierce. "I heard that you injured the instructor last semester?" Zhao Hongqi got straight to the point. The corners of Lei Zhen's mouth raised slightly, revealing an expression that couldn't be called a smile. "Just in self-defense, sir. It should be clearly written in the file." "I like your attitude." Zhao Hongqi smiled, "Come with me, I have a task for you." Lei Zhen raised his eyebrows, but didn't ask any more questions. He simply said, "I need to take a shower first." Twenty minutes later, Lei Zhen, who had changed into casual clothes, got into Zhao Hongqi's car. The scenery outside the car window changed from the high walls of the police academy to the hustle and bustle of the city. "Do you know why I chose you?" Zhao Hongqi held the steering wheel and looked forward. "Because I have good grades?" Lei Zhen's tone contained a hint of sarcasm. "Because you understand the rules, but they are not our rules." Zhao Hongqi glanced sideways at him, "You have been on the streets and know how those people think." Lei Zhen's eyes flickered for a moment, but he quickly returned to calm. "That's a thing of the past." "I want you to go back to that kind of life." Zhao Hongqi parked the car on the side of the road and turned to face Lei Zhen. "The 'Dragon League' in Hui'an City is out of control. We need someone to break into them." Lei Zhen was silent for a moment and suddenly smiled. "So you need a gangster with police skills, or a policeman who understands the rules of the underworld?" "We need someone who can come back alive." Zhao Hongqi's voice became serious, "This is not a drill, Lei Zhen. Once you accept this task, the police academy will announce that you have been expelled for violating discipline, and your file will be sealed. No one knows your true identity except me and Director Han." "What if I refuse?" "Then you haven't been in my car today." Zhao Hongqi shrugged, "But I know you won't refuse." Lei Zhen looked out the window. Across the street, several gangster-looking young people were smoking together. His eyes became deep, as if he saw his past self. "Why me?" He asked softly. "Because the others are either not qualified or dare not." Zhao Hongqi handed him a folder, "Here is the basic information of 'Dragon Alliance' and our action plan. Give me a reply within 24 hours." Lei Zhen did not accept the file, but opened the door directly. "It doesn't take 24 hours." He stood outside the car, and the sun gilded his side face with a layer of gold. "I'll do it." Zhao Hongqi was stunned for a moment, and then showed a satisfied smile. "I knew I had seen the right person. See you at the same place tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, and we will discuss the details of the operation in detail." Lei Zhen nodded, turned and left. His back was as straight as a pine tree, and his steps were firm and powerful, without any hesitation. Zhao Hongqi watched the young figure disappear into the crowd, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He picked up his phone and dialed a number. "Old Han, he agreed." Zhao Hongqi's voice was low, "I hope we didn't make a mistake." There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds. "Director Zhao, there is something I must tell you. Lei Zhen's father... Did not die in the line of duty. He was betrayed by one of his own people." Zhao Hongqi's hands suddenly tightened on the steering wheel. "What do you mean?" "Instructor Lei was also an undercover agent back then, and his identity was exposed when the mission was about to succeed... It was leaked by someone within the police." Director Han's voice was full of worry, "Lei Zhen knows about this. I'm worried that he has another purpose in accepting the mission." Zhao Hongqi looked in the direction Lei Zhen left, and the young man was no longer on the street. An ominous premonition spread in his heart. "It's too late to say this now," he finally said, "the chess pieces have fallen. We can only take one step at a time." After hanging up the phone, Zhao Hongqi reopened Lei Zhen's file. In the margin of the last page, there was a line of small words written in pencil, which was almost ignored: "This person is extremely dangerous, use with caution." Outside the window, the setting sun was like blood, dyeing the entire city red.
