378: A family of loyal heroes

Pan Han heard this and immediately realized something had happened.

He called out to the people inside the room, saying he had to go out for something, then grabbed Guo Jing and headed straight to the underground garage.

The two quickly got into the car, and only then did Guo Jing begin to explain.

It turned out that a Dragon Country spy had been betrayed by a traitor and captured, and was now being held in a special prison in Eagle Country.

This spy had infiltrated Eagle Country for over twenty years, held a high position, and was extremely important to the Dragon Country.

Both sides had negotiated several rounds, and the Dragon Country had made significant concessions, wanting to trade for this spy.

But Eagle Country simply refused.

The most troublesome part was that the traitor was also an important figure who held countless top-secret files.

However, Eagle Country protected this traitor extremely strictly and had already transferred him to a military base.

"Does the Chief want me to rescue the spy and take out the traitor?" Pan Han blew a smoke ring and said solemnly.

"Yes!" Guo Jing nodded.

"Has the Knight Order done this kind of thing before?" Pan Han knew this was no small matter.

"We've only killed traitors; we've never rescued anyone."

Pan Han nodded. Killing was normal for the Knight Order, so he asked, "Then why do you need us to act this time?"

"We've already sent three teams to rescue him, and they were all wiped out. We can't negotiate, and we can't fight our way in. We have no choice but to turn to you."

"How do you know I can definitely do it?" Pan Han felt a tightness in his chest upon hearing that three teams had failed; it was clearly not that simple.

"We don't know if you can or not. We just have to try." Guo Jing looked worried.

He was worried about the mission failing, and also about Pan Han's personal safety.

After all, this was a matter between two governments.

The Knight Order had industries all over the world, many in Eagle Country, and dragging Pan Han into this was actually detrimental to him.

If Eagle Country found out, they would certainly encircle and sanction the Knight Order.

By then, the livelihoods of countless people might be affected.

Guo Jing had taken the initiative to suggest this to the Chief, and for some reason, he vaguely felt that Pan Han could do it.

He was a person who could be trusted.

"Give me the files. But I can't guarantee anything; I can only try." Pan Han felt unsure about this matter.

"Okay!" After saying that, Guo Jing handed Pan Han a black tablet computer.

"When do we act?"

"The sooner, the better."

"What's the order?"

"Rescue the person first, then eliminate the traitor!"

"Is there only one plan?"

"If that doesn't work, you can help him." Speaking of this, Guo Jing suddenly choked up, his eyes dimming, losing their luster.

...

Pan Han understood what he meant; he had actually thought of this plan himself, but just wanted to confirm it.

A spy's life does not belong only to themselves, but also to the organization and the country.

This is the cruelty of the struggle; from the day one steps onto this path, everyone is prepared for this.

The Knight Order had pills hidden in their teeth; once a mission failed and they were captured, to protect the organization's secrets and avoid enemy torture, most assassins would choose to bite down on the pill and end their own lives.

It sounds heartless, but the premise is that the enemy will treat you with humanity.

The enemy has a hundred ways to torture you without letting you die.

How many people can withstand torture?

How many people can endure the suffering?

Everyone working on the hidden front understands this truth.

Therefore, in the design of the system, it is assumed from the start that 99% of people will confess.

Given this premise, how to ensure that information is not leaked, and how to ensure minimal loss after personnel are captured and have confessed, is a very scientific matter!

Therefore, letting the secrets disappear with the person at a critical moment is also a choice.

"Understood! I will do my best." Pan Han did not hesitate any longer and agreed directly.

"Thank you!" Guo Jing said, feeling quite painful inside.

Because this spy was none other than his uncle!

But he still chose the final plan without any hesitation.

Guo Jing's ancestors were old revolutionaries, and he understood this principle.

A family of loyalty!

"You're welcome!"

After Guo Jing gave a few more instructions, he left in a hurry.

Pan Han sat in the car, read all the files, engraved them in his mind, then put the tablet into his storage space and turned to go upstairs.

After entering the room, the three women were sitting obediently at the dining table waiting for him.

"You're finally back." Seeing him enter, Wang Doudou ran over, grabbed his arm, and said, "It's New Year's Eve! No matter how big the matter is, you can't just leave."

Pan Han checked his watch; it was exactly 7:00 PM!

He decided to spend ten minutes eating, then leave immediately.

Arriving at the dining room, Yan Xiaoli and Ellie both stood up to ask him what had happened.

Pan Han shook his head at the two women, signaling them not to ask.

Yan Xiaoli thought he didn't want to talk about it, but Ellie understood instantly!

"I'll eat a few bites and go!" Pan Han sat at the table, picked up his bowl, and ate, but his previous happy mood was gone.

Wang Doudou almost thought she had misheard and was about to ask for clarification, but Pan Han spoke again: "Ellie, take care of everyone later."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ellie immediately understood that the matter was of great importance, but could not be said explicitly, so she nodded vigorously.

Yan Xiaoli and Wang Doudou were confused; why say such things on New Year's?

Could something really have happened?

"Eat quickly. Don't wait for me to come back." Pan Han stuffed a large piece of fish into his mouth and downed half a glass of liquor.

The three women immediately fell silent and buried their heads in eating.

The atmosphere in the dining room was slightly oppressive; the three had prepared the New Year's feast for hours, but could only eat for ten minutes.

Only Ellie looked at Pan Han with worry; something that could make him react like this naturally wouldn't be anything good.

An assassin's instinct told Ellie that this trip would be ominous.

So, she held Pan Han's right hand and squeezed slightly.

Everything was understood without words!

At this moment, countless people around the world were preparing for New Year's Eve.

But how many people were silently contributing behind the scenes? How many people were carrying the burden forward?

Today, it was Pan Han's turn.

He was not a hero, it was just his responsibility!

Just like those heroes who gave their lives, before taking that step, they were no different from ordinary people.

They just did things that ordinary people couldn't do!

There are no gods in this world, only people who rival gods with mortal bodies!

"Don't worry!" Pan Han responded to Ellie with these two words and smiled slightly at the three women.

After finishing the last bite, the mission began!

Pan Han put down his bowl and chopsticks, just about to turn and leave, but turned his head back and said, "Happy New Year, everyone! I'm very glad to have met you."

Yan Xiaoli and Wang Doudou finally felt that something was different, looked at Pan Han with complicated expressions, and nodded.

Ellie burst into tears instantly, two lines of hot tears streaming down her cheeks.

Hot and warm.

"Waiting for your return." Ellie choked out.

After spending this time together, she had completely accepted Pan Han, followed Pan Han, and recognized Pan Han.

There could be no one else in this life!

Finally, Pan Han hugged each of the three women.

If he couldn't come back, this would be a final farewell.
