Wang Kun resumed his indignant tone, his voice fierce: "I haven't offended him, but I can't stand him abusing his power and acting recklessly."
"Oh? So you two don't have any deep-seated hatred for each other?" Yu Ling asked.
"……No."
"Captain Luo has acted recklessly and bullied those around you?"
"...No, not either."
"Could it be that you're going to assassinate him just because you hate him and can't stand him?" Yu Ling's tone gradually became agitated.
"...Yes, is there a problem?"
have!
This is a huge problem!
Why aren't you just bored and having nothing better to do?!
"...Now I believe you don't have any accomplices."
Yu Ling racked her brains but couldn't figure out which idiot would actually do something so pointless and impulsive as to invite serious trouble, even death. She couldn't help but ask,
"You've only recently joined the underground party, haven't you? A newbie?"
Wang Kun's eyes widened, finally looking at the person properly. He wondered how this person knew!
Is there even a need to guess?
The original owner had disguised himself as a member of the underground Communist Party to infiltrate and steal intelligence. He also made many "close friends" who sent him information and understood the ins and outs of the matter. Yu Ling naturally inherited everything from him.
In that underground party that advocated covert operations and had a strong sense of cohesion, the only one so disorganized and undisciplined was a rash newcomer, and one who hadn't even been officially approved.
"Let's say, just hypothetically, that you've successfully assassinated him, how do you plan to escape afterward?"
Wang Kun: ...
He chose to remain silent.
Yu Ling immediately understood.
This person isn't the kind of brave warrior who leaves himself no way out and burns his bridges; he's just a fool who doesn't even have a detailed plan!
However, even if he is stupid, Yu Ling naturally has her own way of dealing with idiots.
"Alright, since you're unwilling to trust the collective, determined to make decisions on your own, and so hostile towards me, you probably don't want to be promoted."
Yu Ling threw out a hook for conversation.
"Fine, consider this a joke. All my efforts were wasted. I'm off!"
"Wait, wait a minute!" Wang Kun took the bait as expected. "Could it be that you..."
Yu Ling made a shushing gesture.
Oh, so you weren't a traitor after all; you're still a member of our underground party!
Wang Kun immediately nodded in agreement and fell silent.
The system didn't detect any eavesdropping devices here, and Yu Ling wasn't worried about their conversation being overheard. She simply created a furtive atmosphere by whispering a few words to Wang Kun in a low voice...
[Host, I don't understand. Why are you lying to yourself that you're a member of the underground Communist Party? Once this person goes out and asks, the lie will be exposed immediately.] The system heard this whisper clearly.
Yu Ling was utterly speechless at her brainless system. How could Wang Kun possibly have any chance of getting out?
"Just wait and see, you'll find out soon enough," he thought to himself.
Then, turning around, she called for someone to open the door. After leaving the interrogation room, Yu Ling said to the guard beside her:
"Tell your Captain Luo that I've found out. Should I submit it in writing or...?"
He was interrupted before he could finish speaking:
"Captain Luo has arrived. This way, please."
After saying that, he led Yu Ling to an office used by clerks, where there was an effeminate man with medium-length, shoulder-length hair.
He was dressed neatly, holding a gun in his hand and fiddling with it, acting as if nothing had happened, and didn't seem like the protagonist who had just been assassinated.
This man was none other than Captain Luo of the guard team.
"Tell me, what did you find out?" he asked.
Yu Ling immediately replied:
"Okay, Captain Luo, this man is called Wang Kun. He is undoubtedly a member of the underground Communist Party. He is male, unmarried, and belongs to the radical faction. This time, he received a secret tip and is carrying out an assassination mission."
He himself didn't know who his accomplices were, but I had already done a preliminary screening. The suspects were narrowed down to Mr. Li, the rickshaw puller in the neighborhood, Zhang Yidao, the street barber, and..."
"Are all these people underground party members?" Captain Luo asked.
"I can't guarantee it, but there's a high probability," Yu Ling said, completely making things up.
In fact, these were all spies of dubious origin. Since their identities were not verified, it was a good idea to sell a few of them to hunt down the original owner and use them as a tool to kill someone else.
"Alright, you sit here for a while, the rest of you come with me." Captain Luo didn't ask any more questions, but walked directly towards the interrogation room, with the guards following closely behind, quickly closing the door and locking it.
Being locked alone in this office, Yu Ling didn't touch anything. She actually sat down in the chair that Captain Luo had just been sitting in and closed her eyes to rest.
Time passes.
Half an hour later, the sound of a door opening came from outside. Captain Luo pushed the door open and came in, his serious expression sending chills down one's spine.
"How was it?" Yu Ling asked, getting straight to the point.
"I have already sent people to arrest them. In addition, I have made a new discovery. The rickshaw puller often carries a mysterious woman. I suspect she is one of the leaders of the underground party."
Her whereabouts were also very mysterious, impossible for ordinary people to detect, and her methods were highly skilled, suggesting she had received professional training.
Captain Luo remained silent for a moment, seemingly lost in thought, then gave the order to the outside.
"Keep an eye on things, and report any new developments immediately. Also..."
He paused, then continued, "All our patrol teams in Jiangcheng are to withdraw. Prioritize arresting all those involved, especially those close to them; leave no survivors."
That's ruthless! Captain Luo is really heartless; he even resorted to the system of collective punishment.
"That Wang Kun...?" Yu Ling asked tentatively.
"It's broken, how come you're still useful?"
No! It's good that it crashed!
"No, I just wanted to remind you not to go easy on them. Those underground party members are all desperate criminals, a bunch of lunatics!"
A hint of coldness flashed in Yu Ling's eyes, but she said on the surface,
"Although they are all scum and not worth worrying about, once they band together, they can be a force not to be underestimated."
"Um."
Captain Luo lowered his head, seemingly deep in thought. After a moment, he spoke.
"I heard you're an orphan?"
Yu Ling paused slightly, then replied, "Yes."
Captain Luo then said, "Without any ties or worries, there are no weaknesses or threats, which is great. How about coming to the guard unit to be my deputy?"
"No need, Captain Luo. Thank you for your kindness, but I'm better suited to working behind the scenes." Yu Ling smiled faintly.
How could someone as powerless and insignificant as him possibly get a chance to slack off in such a good place as the guards? He'd probably either be made a scapegoat or a scapegoat.
The original owner's character was best at playing the villain, not the saint, and Yu Ling is naturally the same now.
