Roach was a seasoned gunman, and he immediately noticed that something was wrong with his boss, so he quickly pinned him to the ground.
The gun at his waist was taken away, and several police officers came over and took him into custody. The steamed bun shop owner had his hands tied behind his back, and his fat face was trembling with fear.
"Sir, I only bought the gun for self-defense. Is that illegal?"
"Of course it's not illegal."
Luo Qidao,
"But how do you explain this?"
The boss strained his squinty eyes to see Roach pull a handful of change from his apron pocket, among which was... a stamp?
What is this?
Where did you come from?
The boss was dumbfounded. This was like a bolt from the blue for him. He was filled with grief and indignation. He felt wronged and innocent!
He wouldn't be this upset if he said he was arrested for espionage, but he really has no idea where this seal came from! What kind of bastard shoved this on him?
"The evidence is conclusive, take him away!"
The poor boss was taken away, and Luo Qi was finally relieved of his burden. After the seal was found, he still felt angry when he thought about Yu Ling, that scum who took advantage of Ye Linglong... No, he was still furious.
Where exactly is Yu Ling now?
He was hiding in the slums, spending his time with lonely old men, trying to find some peace and quiet.
Some of the original owner's money was kept in the old man's house, buried very deep, so deep that you might not find it even if you dug three feet into the ground, and the old man never touched it.
He's old, can't run anymore, and just wants to live a quiet life.
Yu Ling didn't come for money, but to persuade the old man to take the money and join the underground Communist Party.
It wasn't out of kindness, but because for the original owner, the old man was the only person who could be considered a weakness. If he were used to threaten her, she would be in deep trouble.
"What do you mean?" The old man's hearing was poor, and he heard "spend money" as "move in".
"I still have some money on me. You can take what you already have with you. Old Zhu and the others will be moving in a couple of days, so go with them!"
Yu Ling had gone through so much trouble to put on her disguise and get everything sorted out, but this old man had no choice but to leave! After spending half a day watching the old man being taken away, Yu Ling also took off her disguise and started thinking about the new mission assigned to her by the underground party.
—Rescue the high-ranking underground party members who had been arrested by Ji Shaoshuai.
This guy was really unlucky. He was hiding his high-ranking position perfectly, but by sheer coincidence, he was implicated by the original owner's act of selling information. And then, during this critical period of strict investigation, he was convicted without even a chance to explain.
Because it involved military matters, it wasn't handed over to Luo Qi; instead, it was taken away directly by Marshal Ji, and I heard it suffered a lot.
Originally, there was no danger to their lives, and the underground party wanted to hold out for a few more days before dealing with them. But who knew that Young Marshal Ji would go crazy again and start throwing the criminals he had captured at will.
Yu Ling wondered silently, could it be that Gao Zhuoyi was in a bad mood because she had been rescued by him?
Since she had accepted the mission, Yu Ling didn't intend to refuse. It just so happened that the original owner had stolen money and information, but had never tried stealing a person.
—Under the system's unconventional navigation—
"What did you say? You rescued that underground party member from the torture chamber last night?"
Upon hearing this news, Marshal Ji was so enraged that he slapped the innocent soldier who had come to deliver the message hard across the face.
"Damn it! That was right under your noses! So many soldiers and you couldn't even keep an eye on one person? What are you all doing?!"
"Oh dear! Please don't get angry! It's not worth ruining your health if you get upset!"
The bodyguards who were acting as sycophants were so frightened that they quickly stepped forward to calm the increasingly irritable Marshal Ji, fearing that he might shoot the unfortunate soldier if he lost his temper.
Even seeing his superior angry, the soldier still had to report what needed to be reported, and he continued meekly:
"It wasn't the guards' fault. Someone had drilled a hole in the ceiling of that torture chamber, it looks like they just pulled the person we were hanging from directly down..."
Yu Ling hadn't expected that this person would be hanging from the roof beam by sheer coincidence. Since they were so close, she didn't jump down as originally planned, but simply pulled the person off the roof.
Not wanting to be exposed, Yu Ling threw the person into the backyard of a small clinic run by an underground party member, left a note, and slipped away. The note contained the military deployment of Marshal Ji and a detailed map.
Now... the enraged higher-ups will probably take action, right?
After successfully completing her mission, Yu Ling did not immediately return to Jiang Zhicheng's side. Instead, she went to the guard team first and told Luo Qi the lie she had prepared in advance.
For example, the owner of this steamed bun shop might be a spy sent by another warlord to harm Marshal Ji.
For example, it is highly likely that Commander Ji will compete with other factions for territory, war is imminent, and there is much more intelligence, some true and some false...
In short, what they say is as outrageous as it gets and is extremely unbelievable, but if you trace it back further, you can't immediately refute it; no matter how you look at it, it's ambiguous.
Moreover, Yu Ling is not afraid that Luo Qi will not investigate, because after he learns the news, everything he does will affect the direction of the situation.
Then, just wait until Marshal Ji is accused of colluding with Country R, and he'll be in big trouble, hehe...
"I understand. Thank you for the seal. Actually, Young Marshal Ji is a terrifying person to everyone except his own people. Especially since you've offended him, we shouldn't get involved in this matter."
Luo Qi was quite pleased that Yu Ling had informed him of this, as it allowed him to prepare in advance for his future negotiations with his superiors. However, when seriousness was required, he was never one to be amiable.
"I've also heard about Master Ye's 100,000 silver dollars. He has already transferred the money to me. Here it is, you can count it yourself."
He handed over a suitcase without any greed. In his eyes, there were plenty of people who had money but no life to enjoy it, and power was more reassuring.
He had originally prepared to anger his future father-in-law, but unexpectedly, Yu Ling actually helped him. Ye Linglong had recently been frightened by his men and could no longer keep them locked up. He was currently busy coaxing them and had no time to argue with Yu Ling.
"Okay, then I'll be going now."
Yu Ling carried a box of money out the door and turned to look for Nan Miaoyin, as they had already agreed to give her the money.
Human currency holds no appeal for Yu Ling; her continued pursuit of wealth is merely a facade for her persona.
He went to the nightclub to find the woman, following her daily routine. As soon as he arrived, he was led to a private room on the top floor by a hostess who was staring at him with complicated eyes.
Upon entering the room, a well-dressed man with slicked-back hair and a face that clearly indicated he was a successful person made a move to put his arm around Nan Miaoyin's shoulder.
"Bang—!"
The moment Yu Ling saw Nan Miaoyin frown and look disgusted, her hands moved faster than her brain, and she threw a suitcase at her.
