C5 Group 8

Shen Di was speeding towards the ET building, completely unaware that she was already on someone's radar. She didn't pay much attention to what happened tonight because, honestly, there wasn't much she could do about it now.

Upon arriving at ET, she noticed a black stretch Lincoln parked not too far away. She quickly got out of her car, walked over, and hopped inside.

"Di, you're here! Why so late?" someone asked.

"Yeah, Ms. Di, you're never this late," another chimed in.

"Ha, I can smell the alcohol on you, Ms. Di. You must have been at Endless Night again!" a third teased.

As soon as Shen Di got in, the chatter started. She rubbed her head, feeling sore and more exhausted than she had been even after pulling all-nighters for missions.

This kind of situation really puts women at a disadvantage!

She made a gesture for them to stop, and the car fell silent. Shen Di looked up at the man in the driver's seat and explained, "Sorry, boss. I'm late. Got held up by something."

Their team consisted of five people, led by Xu Miao, whom they all called "boss." Xu Miao was a mature man in his thirties, with a refined appearance but an aura that kept people at a distance. Despite his perpetually stern expression, his handsome face made him both respected and approachable to the team.

After all, they've been together for fifteen years!

Aside from that, there's Liu Xiaoxiao, who's in charge of explosives. With her lively personality and baby face, anyone meeting her for the first time would think she's the girl next door. But who would guess that this young lady is already twenty-five, two years older than her appearance suggests? She's a promising member of the explosives team, specially trained by the organization.

Liu Xiaoxiao and Shen Di get along well, and they hang out quite a bit in real life.

The other two are younger than Shen Di, a pair of twin orphans. Shen Di joined the organization at eight, and these two were even younger, joining at five.

The older brother is Wang Linyin, and the younger brother is Wang Linjin. Wang Linyin is a skilled hacker, while Wang Linjin is a jack-of-all-trades, handling the group's routine tasks. He's also an excellent marksman.

Xu Miao glanced at Shen Di, noticing her flushed face and the faint marks on her neck, a shadow of concern passing through his eyes.

"Not too late, the target is still inside the building."

"Yeah, Di, just now, Big Wang and Little Wang and I were all praying that the person inside wouldn't leave before you got here."

Liu Xiaoxiao threw herself onto Shen Di, playfully whining.

Shen Di pushed her away and looked at Xu Miao, asking, "The mission?"

Xu Miao got straight to the point, "The CEO of ET is involved in an illegal deal with a man, and your target this time is that man. Get close to him, find a way to obtain his fingerprints, and then... eliminate him!"

As soon as those last three words were spoken, the atmosphere in the car turned tense and serious.

Hearing this, Shen Di's expression also became serious. This was an S-level mission.

"Understood."

Shen Di nodded. She was already well-versed in handling missions of this caliber. However, in the five years she had been taking on assignments, there hadn't been many that required her to kill.

Still, she didn't shy away from it. The people she eliminated were always those with countless lives on their hands. Taking their lives didn't weigh on her conscience at all.
