Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
"An undercover agent? At the Darkmoon Base?"
Fang Wu frowned.
Truman said calmly, "During the last werewolf mission, our actions were completely anticipated by the enemy, proving that there may indeed be spies within our Darkmoon base."
“It’s not a possibility, it’s a certainty.” Lin Nai shook her head.
Yu Yuanyuan looked at Zheng Longhai suspiciously: "But, such a big task as catching an undercover agent is actually entrusted to us newcomers who have only been with Darkmoon for less than three months? Isn't this putting too much importance on us?"
No wonder, Gao Xuan used to be the one assigning them tasks.
This time, however, it was Zheng Longhai who came to talk to them personally.
Zheng Longhai paused for a moment, then said, "There's a reason why I'm handing this over to you."
Lin Nai looked at Zheng Longhai and asked, "I think Chief of Staff Zheng must already have someone he suspects, right?"
"..." Zheng Longhai fell silent again.
She sighed softly, her eyes revealing disappointment and sadness.
"Suspect?" Upon hearing this, Meng Feifei immediately became gossipy: "Who is it? Is it someone we know?"
Linna paused for a moment, then slowly said, "During the last werewolf mission, the enemy knew everything we did."
"They knew everything about us, including our disguise as Confucian employees and when we would arrive at the Night's Watch branch in the Capital."
"It's practically like spying on a screen."
"But the problem is that the werewolf incident had already happened a month earlier."
"In other words, the other party had already started planning this conspiracy a month ago."
Mu Xun's eyes flickered, as if he understood something.
Truman and Hua Lingze exchanged a glance.
It seems they've thought of something too.
Everyone else, however, was completely bewildered.
“They started planning this a month ago…” Hua Yingwen murmured, “But what does that prove?”
“Here’s the problem.” Lin Nai’s eyes were clear and bright, like a mirror that could see through things and understand the essence of the matter: “If that’s the case, how can the other party be sure that Dark Moon would entrust this task to our 93rd Squad?”
Everyone was stunned.
The white beast seemed to understand something as well, and frowned: "In other words, the person who arranged for us to take on this task... is the most suspicious person!"
Lin Nai looked at Zheng Longhai: "So, who was the person who suggested we take on this mission?"
Zheng Longhai's lips moved, as if he really didn't want to say that person's name.
"It's Lieutenant Li..."
"Lieutenant Li???"
Everyone was shocked because Lieutenant Li usually seemed like a nice guy. He had previously been in charge of training them and treated them very well. He was one of the few instructors who wasn't harsh or strict. So no one had ever thought that Lieutenant Li might be an undercover agent.
“But Lieutenant Li… isn’t he your confidant?” Tong Yi asked.
Zheng Longhai didn't speak, his hands behind his back clenched into fists.
That's why he felt even more heartbroken!
Lieutenant Li has been with him for twenty years and is one of his most trusted subordinates.
But Zheng Longhai knew all too well that the mission was proposed by Lieutenant Li, whose suggestion made the werewolf mission's difficulty level just right for Lin Nai and his team to test themselves. It was then submitted to Elder Ji and approved.
Now, Zheng Longhai hopes that this matter is a misunderstanding and that the undercover agent is someone else.
But he knew in his heart that the possibility of it being someone else was probably less than 30%!
"In short, this mission is now in your hands."
Zheng Longhai looked at Lin Nai: "Lin Nai, I'll have to trouble you to be the bait again."
"Last time they tried to capture you, but they failed. If Lieutenant Li is really an undercover agent, he certainly wouldn't dare to act rashly again."
"The only thing that could lure him into making another move is you."
Lin Nai shrugged and said casually, "Okay, leave it to me. I've been bait many times, I'm good at this."
Meng Feifei looked at him and said, "Brother Nai, I feel like you're the most desirable person in the world. We're both apostles, so why are so many enemies only targeting you and not Mu Xun?"
Hua Lingze paused for a moment and said, "I think it must be because of that Book of Destruction."
Lin Naixin thought to himself that besides the Record of Annihilation, there was also a divine core hidden within his body, possessing the purest divine power.
After the divine core was activated that day, the light that illuminated the entire capital city could not be hidden.
However, this kind of secret could not be told to Hua Lingze and the others.
"Alright, you're so good with words." Hua Yingwen punched Meng Feifei lightly.
"Go back and make some preparations, then get ready to head to Harbin."
Zheng Longhai said with a solemn expression, "I will have Lieutenant Li and Gao Xuan act with you under the guise of leading the team. If he is an undercover agent, he probably won't let such a good opportunity pass him by."
"In addition, I will also arrange for Night Instructor and other members of Darkmoon to secretly follow and keep an eye on you."
"If Lieutenant Li does anything suspicious, we will take him down immediately."
"Sister-in-law is going too?" Meng Feifei stroked her chin and nodded. "Yeah, it's all set."
Linnaeus: "..."
......
Linnaeus and his team were scheduled to depart in three days.
Their stated mission was to assassinate the manager of the Ice City Gene Company branch.
This is also a very important task. Gene Corporation has a huge influence in the human world and has close ties with the International Association of Extraordinary Beings. It would not be a good thing to directly break ties with them.
