With that thought in mind, Yu Ling immediately put all her doubts aside and focused all her attention on how to protect herself during the party.
At the very least, we can't let that guy surnamed Chiang know that I secretly sold him intelligence to the underground party, so we absolutely can't let our disguise slip!
Meanwhile, in another magnificent hall, gentlemen and their partners were already dancing to elegant and soothing music.
Jiang Zhicheng, a man obsessed with money, was not interested in women, so he did not arrive early. When Yu Ling followed the others in, the center was already filled with men and women dancing happily. The two went to a small private room on the second floor, where Nan Miaoyin and several wealthy and powerful guests were already chatting.
"Miaoyin, is this the little spy you captured? He's tall, handsome, and has a dignified appearance... What a pity, how could you be so cruel to him?"
A tall, glamorous woman leaned back in her chair, a glass of red wine in her hand. Her gaze swept over Yu Ling, who stood respectfully bowing beside Jiang Zhicheng, and she said disdainfully.
Nan Miaoyin, who was just giving perfunctory replies to the men fawning over her, said, "Miss Ye, what brings you to this sort of thing? I've thoroughly investigated his background. Aside from his questionable character, his connections are impeccable. If you like him, just ask Master Jiang for him."
The woman referred to as "Miss" narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, a hint of sarcasm in her voice: "No need. You know perfectly well that men like thrills. Keeping them around is no fun."
Behind the woman stood a shrewish-looking old butler, who, upon hearing this, hurriedly stepped forward to serve her, saying, "Young Miss, should I...?"
The woman looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention to her, lowered her voice and instructed, "Take him to Miaoyin's room first, I'll go over later."
"Alright." The old butler acknowledged and left to find Yu Ling. Yu Ling, hearing that someone was looking for her, followed him out the door with a bewildered expression. Jiang Zhicheng seemed to understand what was going on, but felt that this was a benefit offered to Yu Ling and there was no need to stop her, so he let her go.
"Hey! Don't you dare make a mess of my house..." Nan Miaoyin didn't expect Ye Linglong to actually agree, and reminded her with a hint of reluctance.
Ye Linglong waved her hand, then got up and walked out, thinking to herself as she walked: She has sacrificed too much for this mission!
Shortly after she left the private room, she ran into Luo Qi, who was walking towards her.
Luo Qi greeted her, "Miss Linglong? What brings you here today?"
Ye Linglong's face darkened, and she said in an unfriendly tone, "What do you mean by that? Am I not allowed to come?"
Nonsense, if you hadn't been arresting people like crazy, there would have been no need for her to get involved. I heard the higher-ups found several people to act as a cover, but I don't know if any of them actually managed to infiltrate the area.
Luo Qi's face immediately changed color: "These kinds of parties are chaotic and unsafe. Miss Linglong, you'd better stay away from disreputable women like Nan Miaoyin, don't..."
He rattled off a bunch of nonsense urging the man to leave quickly, but to no avail. Instead, he only annoyed the man more and more, and the man was clearly getting angry.
Ye Linglong snorted coldly: "Enough! Does a mere guard captain dare to interfere in my affairs? Get out of my way!"
“...Yes.” Roach murmured helplessly.
Forget it, I've planned this all this time, there's no need to leak my secrets for a woman. At worst, I'll just protect her more in the future.
I just don't know which traitor is supplying resources to the underground party, which is why their efforts to suppress them have been fruitless for so long, leading to repercussions from above...
Before Luo Qi could think it through, Ye Linglong had already grown impatient. She pushed him aside, brushed past him, and headed towards Nan Miaoyin's room.
"That bastard Luo Qi! I could have perfectly executed my honey trap and pushed that little spy out to cause trouble, but he messed it up and it was all ruined!" Ye Linglong was extremely angry.
However, when she arrived late and pushed open the door to the innermost room on the top floor, which was reserved for Nan Miaoyin, she only glanced at it before slamming the door shut again.
Ugh! I'm going to get a sty! Why did Nan Miaoyin steal my hair?! I'm going to die!
Although Ye Linglong was unhappy, she hadn't come because she was attracted to the man's looks, so she went downstairs to find other ways to cause trouble.
At this moment, inside the room...
Yu Ling was pale, sweat beading on her forehead. She shrank back against the bed, arms crossed, looking at the angry woman on top of her—who had not only stripped her clothes but was now trying to undo her belt—with the shameful expression of a virtuous man being harassed. She said, feeling utterly aggrieved:
"Look, Miss Ye just opened the door, didn't she? I already told you, I didn't see her at all, nothing really happened! Sister Miaoyin, stop making this up, I didn't bring any spare clothes!"
Yu Ling never imagined that one day she would be pinned down and rubbed in bed because of jealousy. However, her biggest worry now wasn't about her virginity, but rather the underground party's mission! It seemed someone had already begun their operation...
Originally, he planned to change his clothes, put on the guise of an underground party member to get some help, and then secretly eliminate a few powerful people who had enemies with the original owner. But now, not only has his plan fallen through, but he is also imprisoned!
Nan Miaoyin pinched and twisted him again, her eyes red as she vented her anger, and glared at him fiercely, saying:
"Stop looking at me with those aggrieved eyes! So what if Miss Ye didn't get her hands on you?"
This is all your own fault. I told you not to fall into my hands... Don't think I have any improper thoughts about you!
After saying that, Nan Miaoyin turned away with a disdainful look, leaving Yu Ling alone there, wanting to cry but having no tears.
The original owner knew Nan Miaoyin's personality better than anyone else.
Although she often said she hated the original owner, in reality, this face held a special place in her heart.
As he was thinking, he suddenly felt that his belt was a little loose. Just as he was about to get up and go out to ask a waiter for some clothes, he heard a series of hurried footsteps in the corridor.
Yu Ling was startled and quickly pulled up the torn shirt on the ground to cover herself, but it was too late.
Immediately afterward, Jiang Zhicheng exclaimed in surprise, "Nan Miaoyin said she wanted me to come up and get someone to clear out a room for her, uh... you're done already?"
Upon closer inspection, Jiang Zhicheng exclaimed, "Wow! This kid's arms and body are covered in bruises from being pinched, his pants are about to fall down, and his expression isn't the rosy glow of someone who's been pampered; it's more like he's been violated and his face is ashen."
"Tsk tsk tsk, what a fine young man, how come he's so weak? He needs to take some more nourishment." Jiang Zhicheng went out to wait and asked a waiter to bring him a formal suit.
"This is just...so embarrassing!" Yu Ling muttered to herself as she tidied herself up.
The key point is that he simply couldn't explain it.
