Linnae heard footsteps and knew his wife would be back soon.
However, Lin Nai was still a little worried. Looking at the dead Xu Jiazhen, she reached out and touched his neck to confirm that he was dead.
It seems that Lieutenant Li's intelligence was correct.
Although Xu Jiazhen is a level 15 earth-type ability user with strong defense, his mental strength is not high, and he is very weak against illusions.
"Knock knock knock..."
The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer; it was the sound of slippers on the stairs, indicating that they had already gone upstairs.
The group exchanged glances and left immediately, leaving Mu Xun in the room to clean up the scene and wipe away the footprints as quickly as possible.
When leaving the villa, Hua Yingwen helped to distract the patrolling bodyguards.
Linna and the others took the opportunity to climb over the wall and escape from the garden. As soon as they escaped, the white beast and the monkey immediately stopped a car. Linna and the others quickly got into the car, and then the car sped away.
Less than half a minute after the car drove off, a terrified scream came from inside Xu Jiazhen's villa: "Ah!!..."
Hua Lingze asked, "What about Mu Xun?"
Linnaeus said, "Don't worry, with his abilities, getting away won't be difficult."
Hua Lingze nodded, relieved.
The next day, news of the unexpected death of Xu Jiazhen, the CEO of Bingcheng Gene Company, appeared on Weibo.
According to the hospital's diagnostic report, the final diagnosis was sudden death caused by overwork and excessive alcohol consumption.
However, Xu Jiazhen's wife obviously did not accept this diagnosis; it was too outrageous for a level 15 superhuman to die suddenly.
There has been much discussion online about Xu Jiazhen's death.
"How many gene company executives have died this month?"
"It seems to be the thirteenth..."
"Holy crap, all of them were accidental deaths. Is this really divine retribution?"
"Good riddance! These heartless capitalists, every one of them deserves to die!"
"Only a fool would believe in accidental death. Clearly, someone is trying to go against the gene company."
"In our Yan country, what other forces have the ability and capability to go against gene companies?"
"They are nothing more than the nine schools of thought, such as Confucianism, Mohism, Taoism, and Legalism, or the Five Elements Society."
"I think it might be from above..."
"......"
Meng Feifei held her phone, scrolling through the online discussions, with her legs propped up on the table in front of her, and said cheerfully, "It seems that the people from Gene Company don't suspect that Xu Jiazhen's death is suspicious at all. It looks like our assassination mission was executed perfectly."
"No matter how perfectly they do it, the gene company has had more than a dozen executives die in a month. They don't even need to think for a second to know that it's not an accident," Lin Nai said leisurely. "It's just that they haven't found any evidence yet."
"Hehe, as long as we don't find any evidence, that's fine." Meng Feifei said, "Those bastards from the gene company before, didn't they just act so arrogantly and recklessly because no one could find evidence of what they did? Now it's time for them to taste what it's like to suffer in silence!"
Lieutenant Li also expressed his approval: "For your first mission like this, you have done a very good job."
Hua Yingwen said somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, it was all because of your excellent planning, Lieutenant Li. We were just doing what you said."
"Hehe, this is your first time doing this, you just need to gain experience," said Lieutenant Li. "Next time, no one will be able to help you, you'll have to rely on yourselves."
"Don't worry, Lieutenant Li," Fang Wu said earnestly, "We'll grow quickly! I'll definitely surpass you seniors in the future!"
“That’s exactly what I’d like to see,” Lieutenant Li said with a kind smile.
Everyone held a celebration banquet, and their goodwill towards Lieutenant Li increased significantly.
Everyone thought, how could someone as good as Lieutenant Li be an undercover agent?
Mu Xun leaned against the side with his arms crossed, silently observing Lieutenant Li.
Lin Nai silently approached him, took a sip of a cola, glanced at him, and asked, "So, what do you think?"
Mu Xun: "What do you mean, how do you see it?"
Linnaeus: "Of course, it's about Lieutenant Li."
"..." Mu Xun paused for a moment, then said, "He's a very capable veteran. He planned this mission flawlessly, allowing us to kill a level 15 ability user very easily."
"If we were to do it ourselves, even if we were to successfully kill Xu Jiazhen, we would inevitably have to go through a difficult battle, not to mention the possibility of creating an accident."
"If he wants to play dirty tricks, he'll probably make all of us look foolish."
After Mu Xun finished speaking, he turned his head and calmly looked at Lin Nai.
“…That’s true.” Lin Nai smiled and met his gaze. “I understand what you mean.”
Mu Xun didn't say it directly, but Lin Nai understood what he meant.
On the surface, Mu Xun was praising Xu Jiazhen's meticulous planning and rich experience.
In reality, what he really meant was: with Lieutenant Li's intelligence, if he wanted to pretend, then with the experience and insight of these newcomers, probably none of them could see through his disguise.
......
Inside the Dark Moon Base, Zheng Longhai had already learned of Xu Jiazhen's death.
"Did the mission go smoothly? Was it Lieutenant Li's setup?... "
"Okay, I understand."
Zheng Longhai hung up the system call, staring intently ahead, lost in thought.
A soldier walked over and said, "Chief, judging from this, Lieutenant Li shouldn't be an undercover agent, right?"
"If he were from the gene company, even if he didn't take the opportunity to harm Lin Nai, he should have done everything in his power to stop Lin Nai and her group. Why would he help Lin Nai and her group kill the executives of the gene company?"
Zheng Longhai sighed and said, "That's true... It would be best if he could prove his innocence."
Where are Linnaeus and the others now?
"They have left Ice City safely," the soldier replied. "They are on their way back to the capital."
Zheng Longhai nodded, feeling much more relaxed.
The fact that his most valued old subordinate had been cleared of suspicion brought him some relief.
But if Lieutenant Li isn't an undercover agent, then who is?
【Beep beep beep】
At that moment, the system's incoming call notification sounded.
Zheng Longhai was slightly taken aback.
Because of the caller ID, the caller was none other than Lin Nai!
"Hello?" Zheng Longhai answered the phone: "Lin Nai?"
"Chief Zheng," Lin Nai said, "our assassination mission is complete, but Lieutenant Li did not show any suspicious behavior."
"Yes, I already know," Zheng Longhai said. "Now that Lieutenant Li has been cleared of suspicion, you can come back."
“No,” Linna said slowly, “I have another idea that I want to discuss with you.”
"Oh?" Zheng Longhai raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. "What are your thoughts?"
