This is only the first step in Yu Ling's elaborate scheme.
He first tricked the underground party members into going on a prison break, and took the opportunity to find out the whereabouts and purpose of the seal.
Then let Luo Qi devise a scheme within a scheme to wipe them out in one fell swoop, using their lives to obtain the seal.
Afterwards, some radical elements in the underground party will definitely be furious.
So he wanted to use another alias to sow discord between the underground party and Marshal Ji, and crush this guy who hadn't yet had the bounty on his original owner's head!
In the end, even though he did so much, he was still outwardly an innocent person who mingled with Jiang Zhicheng, a harmless retired spy.
As long as he keeps switching between the underground party and the bigwigs, and finally stands on the winning side, he will successfully survive!
[Host, while your plan sounds very plausible, you seem to have forgotten something.]
The system silently reminded me.
[But this war could drag on for a long time, maybe even until the day you die... Think about the books about modern history in the modern world.]
"That's not a problem."
Yu Ling will naturally give it a little push then...
After quietly leaving the slum, Yu Ling continued to carry out his plan in an orderly and methodical manner.
This went on for two or three weeks, and everything was going very smoothly, but the seal was nowhere to be found. The underground party leaders refused to admit that the seal was in their possession.
Thanks to the timely city-wide lockdown, Roach was convinced that the seal was still in the city. Without waiting for Yu Ling to analyze the reasons for him, he took action on his own, sending police officers to violently search people's homes, determined to find out the truth from house to house.
By the time Yu Ling actually bumped into it and realized something was wrong, the situation was already very serious.
A pregnant woman was knocked to the ground by several police officers and started bleeding. She looked like she was about to die. People were coming and going, but no one dared to cause any trouble.
Logically speaking, Yu Ling shouldn't have intervened, but he happened to know that the woman was a relative of a high-ranking member of the underground Communist Party.
If he had just happened to pass by and hadn't saved the person, and later, if he had defected back to the underground party, they would have used that as a pretext to make trouble...
Since her face was fairly recognizable, and Yu Ling was dressed in the same formal attire that Jiang Zhicheng was wearing, she quickly went up to greet the guards at the door, picked up Yu Ling, and headed straight for the nearby rescue room.
Unlike hospitals, the emergency room is where locals handle emergencies. As long as you pay, everything is fine. There's no need to wait in line for a doctor. Once the woman's condition stabilized, Yu Ling left, enduring the glares from the nurses who were looking at the scumbag.
As soon as she stepped outside, a rickshaw was parked in front of her. Without thinking much, Yu Ling got on and told them the location of Jiang Zhicheng's place.
The more I looked at the back of the person in front of me, the more familiar he seemed. It looked like the guy who had given me a ride twice before. How come I could see him everywhere I went, like a paparazzi?
Um...paparazzi? ??
“Hey buddy, you look familiar! It seems like I run into you every time I take a bus. I really start to think you’re spying on me,” Yu Ling joked.
"It's not a mistaken assumption," the young man said.
Haha, of course it's not surveillance... wait, what did he just say it wasn't?
[It's not a misunderstanding; he means he's spying on you, host.] The system chimed in.
Yu Ling suppressed her smile, pulled out a gun from her waist, and coldly said to the young man's back, "Stop the car."
The young man was very obedient; he stopped and slowly turned around with his hands raised.
Just as Yu Ling was wondering why this person revealed his identity, the people around her—those setting up stalls, shopping, eating, and even someone walking a dog—all silently stopped and pointed their guns at Yu Ling.
“I’m Master Jiang’s woman.” Yu Ling still wanted to struggle a bit more.
"We know."
With Yu Ling sitting high up in the car looking down at him, the young man spread his palms out. After Yu Ling obediently surrendered, he turned and pulled on the lane.
"Nice to meet you, we are Gao's men."
Gao Zhuoyi?
Yu Ling thought about it and realized that Jiang Zhicheng's lips had been drooping a lot lately. Could it be that the two of them were secretly fighting again? Could she have been an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire?
Jiang Zhicheng, betraying your subordinates will come at a price! If Gao Zhuoyi asks me for information later, don't blame me for spilling the beans!
The rickshaw driver's route was indeed different. As Luo Qi searched around recklessly, he discovered that half of the passersby were actually Gao Zhuoyi's men. They were even strolling around the rickshaw, making Yu Ling not dare to jump off.
Well, it's targeting someone with the surname Jiang anyway. If we can't escape, we won't. Yu Ling is really having one problem after another. She hasn't even rescued Ye Linglong yet, and she's been arrested herself. It seems that Jiang Zhicheng's name doesn't really provide much protection.
Soon, the rickshaw stopped, and Yu Ling was forced by a group of people to walk into the Gao residence. The square courtyard and its simple furnishings did not look like a wealthy family's home, but rather like the secluded residence of some scholar.
This wasn't the first time Yu Ling had seen Gao Zhuoyi, who was known as the cunning fox, but each time she was drawn to his transcendent aura. This man was truly more detached from worldly affairs than even Yu Ling, a pure tree spirit.
What a deceptive appearance!
With a seemingly righteous face but actually rotten to the core, Yu Ling commented in this way.
"Zhao Zhongkai, don't you think it's a waste to be a mere spy?"
He casually picked up a leaf to use as a bookmark, closed the book in his hand and placed it beside him, his smile refined and his tone friendly.
"You can sing opera, leap across rooftops, and have good acting skills. You can even sell vegetables on the street, cook in a restaurant, and do carpentry. Why did you have to go and sell intelligence?"
...You already know?
You know all this: I transmigrated here to perform in a grand opera, hiding and running, deceiving my pursuers, and disguising my identity everywhere when doing missions for Jiang Zhicheng?!
Yu Ling's expression, as if she had pressed the pause button, made the group of people who had brought her there burst out laughing.
"How...how could you know so much?" Yu Ling still couldn't believe that her embarrassing moment had been completely exposed.
"Ahem, when you were performing, you were taking off my clothes," said the handsome man serving tea to Gao Zhuoyi.
“I’m the waiter who stopped chasing you halfway through,” the dog-walking man said, taking off his scarf.
“I’m a customer who checks on the progress of the wooden chairs every day. You probably don’t remember me,” said a person whose features were hard to describe and whose appearance was so ordinary that they were easily overlooked.
So, the people around me are all your spies?
"Then why didn't you arrest me then???"
Yu Ling felt like she had suffered ten thousand points of damage.
"It's rare to encounter such an interesting spy as you. I can't help but want to see what else you can do." Gao Zhuoyi's smile became even more refined.
The things he says don't sound like what a proper person would say.
