Chapter 43 Double agent?

Why the hell is he chasing her endlessly? Zhong Min kept looking back as she ran, her heart simmering with rage. Chasing, chasing, chasing, what the hell is wrong with her? Why is he chasing her for no reason when he doesn't even know her?

Love chasing, huh? She gritted her teeth, cursed inwardly, and simply sped up as fast as she could, trying to outrun those two bastards.

Zhong Min was fast enough and ran with her brains, but she was a girl after all, and her physical strength couldn't compare to the two strong men. At first, they had a gap of almost ten meters, but gradually the distance between them narrowed, and the male's superior endurance and physical strength slowly became apparent.

Soon, she realized that the two men weren't really using their full strength at all, but were playing like a cat and mouse. The faster she ran, the faster they chased her, and the slower she ran, the slower they chased her. They would look to either side from time to time as they ran, as if searching for something.

Zhong Min was extremely upset. He had not suffered such humiliation often. He had never expected that he would be entangled by these two unidentified people who suddenly appeared.

Bastard! She cursed with a heavy breath. She couldn't run any longer, so she simply stopped and gasped for breath. Unexpectedly, the two men also stopped, but they looked calm and relaxed, not as embarrassed as she was.

Are you kidding me? Zhong Min was furious, and after cursing inwardly, she took off running again, sprinting away. As expected, the man behind her continued to keep pace, looking as if he was determined to outrun her.

After running for a while, Zhong Min suddenly found that the scene around him gradually became quiet. Then he realized that he had run out of the bustling street and was unknowingly forced into a quiet alley by the two men.

It's over! She couldn't run any more, so she simply sat down, too tired to fight like a trapped beast. Kill her or cut her up as you please, because running any further would kill her anyway, so she might as well take a few breaths and slow down.

But this time, after Zhong Min stopped, the two men did not stop as well. Instead, they slowly walked over and stopped in front of Zhong Min. Zhong Min couldn't see their faces, but he could fully imagine the smug expressions on their faces at that moment.

"Two big brothers, who are you? Why are you chasing me?" Zhong Min finally regained some strength and struggled to get up from the ground. He said to the two men, "If you have something to say, just say it directly. Don't try to trick me like this, okay?"

"Li Jin'er, why are you running? We told you to come with us, but you refused to listen. Don't blame us if you get exhausted." One of the taller men said in a gruff voice, "Didn't I leave you a secret signal yesterday? I also revealed my identity just now, so why are you still pretending not to know me?"

Hearing this man's words, Zhong Min's mind suddenly exploded. She was genuinely shocked. She hadn't expected these two people to actually know her. And from their tone, it was obvious that they weren't from Prince Mu's mansion, but rather that she and these two people were in cahoots.

Could it be that they were with the masked man in black that night? No, that's not right! Zhong Min immediately overturned this possibility. From what they just said, it seemed that they had nothing to do with the masked man in black last time. So, could it be that...

Thinking of the second possibility, she couldn't help but be startled, almost breaking out in a cold sweat. Could it be that Li Jin'er's true identity was not only a spy, but also a double agent—a double agent?

Oh my god, isn't this too confusing? Zhong Min couldn't help but take a deep breath, trying her best to remain calm. This person said he left her a secret code yesterday, and then said he had just revealed his identity. So, could this be the code they were talking about, the copper coin that almost broke her tooth?

After all, that was the only slightly unusual incident yesterday, and what did those two say just now? Yes, "Just one copper, pick any horse you want." I think that's what they were talking about.

"No, I'm not pretending." To avoid arousing the suspicion of the two men, she had to calm down and tentatively said, "That copper coin last night almost broke my tooth."

"Who told you to be so careless!" the man said again, "Since you know it's us, why are you running?"

"You misunderstood. I was worried about being targeted by the spies from Prince Mu's Mansion, so I did this on purpose. Now it's safe here, so tell me if you have something to say." Zhong Min looked around deliberately, looking cautious.

Seeing this, the two stopped asking questions and said directly, "The young master already knows that you have successfully entered Mo Garden as a clerk, so he specifically asked me to tell you to be careful and never reveal your identity. In addition, the young master wants you to pay close attention to Xiao Mingzheng's actions during this period. First, find out the military dynamics of the Xiao army for the next six months as soon as possible. Second, find the secret letter written by Prince Mo of Xirong to Xiao Mingzheng as soon as possible."

"Yes! Jin'er has remembered it." Zhong Min nodded when he heard it, with an expression that showed that he understood and remembered it well.

Seeing this, the tall man continued, "The young master also told you to take good care of yourself. Once you successfully complete the mission, he will definitely fulfill your wish as promised."

"Yes!" Zhong Min naturally had no idea what kind of shabby promise that ghostly young man had made to Li Jin'er, but no matter what it was, she nodded now. After tricking these two people away, she would leave this dangerous place immediately anyway.

As for Li Jiner's true identity, no matter how chaotic it is, it is none of her business.

"By the way, why did you want to buy a horse just now?" Seeing that Zhong Min's expression today was different from the past, especially when he heard that he was bringing the young master with him, his reaction was indifferent, the tall man seemed a little suspicious.

"Nothing, it's just that Xiao Mingzheng gave me a little problem." Seeing this, Zhong Min quickly said, "But don't worry, I can handle it myself. You should leave quickly to avoid being discovered."

After hearing Zhong Min's explanation, the two men didn't say anything else. After nodding, they looked at each other, turned around quickly, left the alley, and soon disappeared.

"Damn it, we're finally leaving!" Zhong Min breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't help but curse under her breath at this thrilling incident. "Psycho, there's something wrong with you! I went through so much trouble to escape from that shabby place, Prince Mu's Mansion, and now you want me to go back? Only a fool would listen to you!"

Li Jin'er, Li Jin'er, how many troubles have you gotten yourself into? How many pitfalls have you fallen into? It would have been easier if you left, but you left all this trouble behind, putting it on her shoulders. Isn't that too unkind?

Zhong Min was almost depressed to death, but after all, things had already come to this, and the most he could do was complain a few words. There was really no other way.

After standing there for a while to recover his spirit, Zhong Min finally calmed down. After looking to both sides, he quickly chose one of the roads leading to the city gate and prepared to set off again.

Perhaps good things come to those who wait. After this hurdle, there shouldn't be any more unexpected situations. She shook her head secretly, ignored everything else, and walked away quickly.

Who knew that the saying that I had just thought of would come true—good things take time! Zhong Min had never imagined that he would end up in such a tragic situation. He had just taken two or three steps when he heard a familiar voice lazily coming from behind him: "Where are you going?"
