Everyone agreed, but Lina asked, "Are you sure he's here?"
Qin Che nodded: "I have already learned from Minister Li Xin of the Awakening Department that Yuan Lin should be hiding in the West Fortress Mansion's mechanism. However, if the Yuan Lin in Wall Number One is fake, then no one has ever seen Yuan Lin's true face."
Lina asked again, "Is he really going to run away tonight?"
"Yes, Qin Guan of the Oasis Alliance is one of his men."
"this……"
Everyone was taken aback by these words.
"Is there any evidence?" Lina asked.
Qin Che thought for a moment: "In short, this is definite intelligence."
Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Lina narrowed her eyes and looked at Qin Che meaningfully.
After Li Mi and the other two left, Lina came up to him and asked, "Actually, you are a complete system of extraordinary beings, right? You also have a perception-based psionic formula on you. I wasn't sure before, but now I am."
Qin Che smiled and said, "If you think so, then so be it."
From another perspective, the simulator's predictive ability is indeed somewhat similar to supernatural psychic powers, except that it can only be used once every ten days, which is too restrictive. However, considering the rewards that can be obtained after each simulation, it is actually very cost-effective.
Lina: "I went to Wall One. What did I encounter? I feel... I can't see through you anymore."
"Joining the Awakening Department is a necessary move. In the future, a large portion of Sandcastle's goods will be transported to West Fortress and Wall One for transshipment. The City Council is currently at a critical juncture for bipartisan cooperation. Once this matter is resolved, I will formally announce to you that we will establish a foothold in West Fortress."
Lina laughed and said, "In fact, Yuan Lin has already lost, hasn't he..."
"Yes, but my goal is to eliminate him. I would be uncomfortable if he escaped."
Lina said, "Once you've finished this, I'll head back too. There are still many matters concerning Li Shuai that I need to handle in Sand Castle."
Qin Che glanced at her and said with a smile, "Didn't you ever think that by keeping you by my side, Li Shuai was actually giving you to me?"
Lina remained silent.
...
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Qin Che met Cai Dong outside Meteor Pool Street.
This man was 1.9 meters tall, with a robust build and bulging muscles. He wore a military uniform and stood as sturdy as a pine tree.
He ran up to Qin Che and bowed: "Master Qin! I have taken control of the Xibao military. Just give me your orders."
Qin Che looked him up and down: "You're one of Chen Fusheng's second-generation agents planted in Xibao?"
"yes!"
"Shen Xihai probably never imagined that the scheme he and Hong Chen set up would benefit not only him, but also Chen Fusheng. You did a great job. Tell me, how did you manage to take control of the military in such a short time?"
Cai Dong glanced at Lina standing behind him: "It's all thanks to Ms. Lina. Without her, this matter would not have been possible."
Qin Che looked at Lina.
Lina shrugged, not taking credit, and said, "The leaders found out about the military command and high-level system here. I was only responsible for information and intelligence. General Cai Dong was in charge of the actual operations. His soldiers are all confidants trained by Shen Xihai. Hehe... Shen Xihai will never have imagined that he spent so many resources to make Chen Fusheng's people work for him."
Qin Che chuckled: "This old devil, now I understand why he didn't settle accounts with Shen Xihai and Hong Chen, because the mole is right next to him."
The army was mobilized in large numbers.
Everyone in Westburg felt insecure.
The curfew had been announced to the citizens of Westburg via broadcast long ago. At a fixed time and in a fixed location, at the main entrances and exits, and along more than a dozen streets in all directions, Cai Dong's men took over in a very short time.
He has become the de facto military commander of Westburg.
So-called power—
A regime can only be established on power.
With the high-ranking officials unable to issue their orders, the entire West Fortress was placed under complete military control within an hour.
Westburg, a city that never sleeps, has fallen into complete silence.
The streets were deserted, save for the sound of patrolling soldiers, their steps precise and their full gear clearly visible as they passed by.
“Meng Jingyuan was a loyal subordinate. Interestingly, after I killed him, I found something on him that belonged to Yuan Lin. It was something Meng Jingyuan kept close to his body. This is it.”
Qin Che took out a coin engraved with a maple leaf and handed it to Lina.
"What's this?"
“Maple Leaf City, Yuan Lin’s birthplace. Meng Jingyuan is not only his subordinate, but also his fellow townsman.”
"For the First Wall, Yuan Lin is an outsider, but he has always remembered his identity. He has climbed from being just like us to his current position, which has not been easy for him. So, one day, he distributed this coin, which symbolizes his hometown, to every one of his trusted confidants."
Lina asked, "So this is the currency of Maple Leaf City?"
Qin Che: "Whether it is or not is not important. What is important is its great significance. The people who obtained this coin are all direct subordinates from Maple Leaf City, including Yuan Lin's ally, Qin Guan."
"so what?"
"Hehe, Li Xin recommended someone to me. He is a master of perception-based psychic abilities. Through this coin, he told me Yuan Lin's current location, accurate to within 100 meters. He is indeed very powerful. I plan to recruit him to work for us."
Lina rolled her eyes: "This is not the time to talk about this. Where exactly is Yuan Lin?"
Inside the car, Qin Che looked at a building in the distance: "Look, haven't we arrived already?"
Lina looked up and recognized the place as the residence of a high-ranking official in the government, surnamed Li.
The surroundings were pitch black, and with the curfew in effect after nightfall, there was no one else around except for the myriad lights in the various mansions and residential areas.
"You drove all this way here like this, aren't you afraid of alerting the enemy?"
"I did it on purpose. No matter how venomous the snake is, you have to lure it out of the bushes before killing it with the power of wind and thunder to avoid leaving any future trouble. Dragging it out will only cause more problems." Qin Che had already gotten out of the car.
Sitting in the front passenger seat, Lin Zhong turned to look at Lina and said, "Madam, please protect me in the car."
Lina glanced at the young man. His face was pale, even paler than hers. He was thin, handsome, and had an indescribable sorrow in his eyes. So she nodded and said, "You can stay here. No one will chase you anyway. Your identity is naturally kept secret. No matter how powerful Yuan Lin is, he won't know you exist."
Lin Zhong thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and nodded in agreement.
Songshan said, "Ms. Lina, the master has gone inside."
Lina looked out the window and saw Qin Che, who was standing outside the mansion walking on the street, disappear completely in a flash. Then, the entire mansion inside suddenly emitted a series of rapid, muffled thuds!
Songshan said, "The guards inside are very tight..."
Lina said, "They're all just chickens and dogs."
