"...Didn't you betray us?"
Ye Linglong was still half-frightened by Yu Ling when this sudden turn of events left her speechless. For a moment, she could only put on a distorted, half-crying expression and ask in a rather strange tone.
"There was a reason for that. Besides, if I really betrayed the underground party, why would I help you cover for us?"
The identity that Yu Ling has lost is that of Zhao Zhongkai, not the one that the original owner of the body used to anonymously contact the underground party after running away. So it doesn't matter whether she believes it or not after the explanation.
"You call this covering up? You're clearly causing trouble!"
Ye Linglong was naturally unaware of Luo Qi's arrangements. She was preoccupied with the fact that her participation was too low and she hadn't been of much use, so she couldn't help but mutter to herself.
Yu Ling felt ashamed; this girl was truly foolish!
If she hadn't cleverly managed to sneak in with others, the entire hall would have been filled with guests and Roach's men. There would have been no way for her to hide who had infiltrated. What could she possibly use to hide?
However, Yu Ling had no intention of wasting any more time. His attempt to curry favor this time was merely to make his public identity more significant in the eyes of Ye Linglong, who came from a good family.
"Where are your old clothes? Go change quickly. We'll sneak in from the top floor by climbing over the wall, and we can each be witnesses for the other." Yu Ling had already retrieved the route from the system.
"...I'm afraid that won't work." Ye Linglong thought of the second-generation young master she had left in a lounge. "I've already found someone else as an excuse, I can't just add you to that list, can I?"
Yu Ling had no idea that the proof Ye Linglong spoke of was the unspeakable kind... In short, he was very determined to join this small team. He couldn't let everyone check the list later and find that he was the only one who was missing during the turmoil.
Picking up Ye Linglong, who had changed into a dress, with one arm, Yu Ling quickly and nimbly scaled the wall and made her way to the dance hall. She found the room Ye Linglong had mentioned and climbed in through the window.
Yu Ling was immediately dumbfounded. What was the situation with this young man lying on the bed in the lounge, who seemed to be unconscious?
"This? Is this our friendly force?" Yu Ling asked incredulously.
Why this posture? And what's with all those clothes scattered on the ground?
Ye Linglong: "Do you believe he was bewitched by my beauty?"
"...Do you even believe it yourself?"
I shouldn't have had any expectations of her, but what should I do now?
Without thinking of any other way, Ye Linglong lay down on the bed as planned and waved to Yu Ling.
Yu Ling will soon face the following choices:
Alternatively, to avoid embarrassment, you can say you just went to the toilet.
Or, squeeze together and let the person who calls out names watch a good show.
...Is Yu Ling the kind of demon who cares about her reputation?
no.
Does the original owner of this body have any shame in terms of character?
don't want.
After mentally preparing herself, Yu Ling grabbed the thin blanket from the drunk and drugged young master, covered herself with it, and lay down on it without even taking off her clothes, mainly to keep him company.
--at the same time--
Roach was organizing a team to arrest the underground party members who had started the riot at the party. Since almost all the waiters were actually guards in disguise, the operation was going very smoothly.
Countless dancing guests were quite frightened, but Roach forcibly detained everyone in the hall, regardless of their status, and checked them one by one.
"Captain, the count is complete. There are six suspected underground party members; the rest are all fine."
Roach nodded: "Alright, take all these people away. Remember, don't harm them until their identities are confirmed."
As soon as Luo Qi finished speaking, he heard a commotion in the distance, and then saw a man he had assigned to guard the guard rush in with a look of anxiety on his face.
Luo Qi frowned, looking at the situation before him, and said to his men, "You guys go and take them back first, leave this to me."
"yes!"
The guard dressed as a waiter turned and left.
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
"Roach asked."
"Team... Captain!"
The messenger tensed up immediately, swallowed hard, and slowly said, "That underground party member we arrested last time, named Liu Weiwen, he... he escaped!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Qi's expression changed slightly. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Do you know how he escaped?"
The messenger shook his head and said, "I don't know. By the time we found out, the cell was empty; everyone was on patrol, so they sent me to report to you."
"Okay, you can go back now."
Roach waved his hand and said.
Upon hearing this, the messenger quickly bowed and left.
As he watched Liu Weiwen's figure disappear through the door, Luo Qi's gaze grew cold. It seemed that Liu Weiwen was the real big fish, and those underground party members were indeed lying.
However, today's harvest was also quite substantial.
He believed that as long as he could grasp the mentality of these underground party members who would never abandon their comrades without a reason, he would eventually catch another big fish.
The riot at the party was now completely over. The damaged hall had been cleaned up, but the first floor remained in chaos.
Roach had the others greet and appease the guests, while he continued to observe the party, looking for any suspicious individuals who appeared to be guests but were actually acting as underground agents, left behind.
In other words, people like Ye Linglong, who enjoy privileged privileges while secretly contributing to grassroots anti-authoritarian movements.
However, he probably won't be able to catch him this time...
The private rooms on the second floor and the lounge upstairs were not affected by this operation. There were fewer people on the upper floors, so they were easily overlooked.
As for Jiang Zhicheng, the moment he realized something was wrong, he tried to find a way to stay close to Nan Miaoyin.
He knew that this woman always had many ways to protect him, and he had heard that she also had some connections with high-ranking members of the underground party. Therefore, he didn't need to worry about his safety at all.
For some reason, Nan Miaoyin seems a little absent-minded right now.
"By the way, didn't I send Zhao Zhongkai to gather intelligence? Why isn't that kid back yet?"
As soon as Jiang Zhicheng mentioned the name, he saw Nan Miaoyin's eyes light up instantly, and she immediately got up to go downstairs.
At this moment, even someone like him who doesn't understand women could see where the problem lay.
"He's probably not down there, otherwise Luo Qi would definitely have let people up. They met last time," Jiang Zhicheng quickly reminded him.
Nan Miaoyin turned around stiffly again.
Jiang Zhicheng, accompanied by bodyguards, followed behind, embarking on his search...
