Hearing Ye Qiu's mocking laughter, Lin Jie also smiled helplessly and said, "There's no choice. Since we chose this profession, we must endure everything that comes with it. We must get used to hiding in the shadows. Honor and flowers don't belong to us; solitude and fear are what we should embrace."
Ye Qiu was slightly taken aback by Lin Jie's words, glancing at Lin Jie, seeing the fatigue etched in his expression, prompting a surge of respect in his heart.
He was a temporary worker, purely assisting Xu Long to save Xu Lei, once this mission was over, he wouldn't do it again.
But Lin Jie was different; he was genuinely a national agent, and after this undercover mission ended, he'd have to participate when another task arose.
Being fortunate enough to survive this time, perhaps next time an unexpected event would occur. Getting injured would be minor; the critical part is if his identity gets exposed and his life is forfeited, that is most important.
