"I..." I'm not still hung up on that jerk!
Before she could say anything, Nan Miaoyin blushed instantly. She mentally explained, "Pah, pah, I didn't mean you're a jerk! You actually look quite pleasing to the eye now!"
Even though Nan Miaoyin had been reborn, she never imagined that the person opposite her would have such an extraordinary experience. Their souls had been replaced. Isn't that amazing?
She always thought she was falling for that scumbag again, but Nan Miaoyin's true love was clearly the current Yu Ling.
How dare she charge in when she doesn't even know the game's progress?!
I could only stop myself again and again, trying not to repeat the same mistake.
"I...of course I know all this! Do you need to ask me?"
After abruptly changing her words, Nan Miaoyin realized she had misspoke. This guy must have gone to great lengths to rescue Ye Linglong, and he had just given her money as a gesture of goodwill. At this moment, it was best not to contradict him.
She added, "Alright, I'll accept it. It's kind of you to go to so much trouble. Ye Linglong should be very grateful to you now."
Yu Ling: No way? Not again!
"I haven't seen Miss Ye since we parted ways last time!"
No, no, this female lead is like a firecracker that failed quality inspection—she ignites at the slightest touch, and even spontaneously combusts if left unattended! I'd better get out of here.
"Sister Miaoyin, I still have some things to take care of. You should have heard that Gao Zhuoyi was kidnapped by me. I still need to explain to Master Jiang."
"Oh right, I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it," Nan Miaoyin said. "Master Jiang values his life and is always cautious. He wouldn't dare keep you here any longer. Do you see where else you could go?"
In fact, Jiang Zhicheng's original intention was to take this opportunity to bring the seemingly quarrelsome young couple together, but Yu Ling never expected this. She found it hard to describe her current feelings.
Even your personal bodyguard is an undercover agent planted by Gao Zhuoyi, and you still have the right to look down on me?
Jiang Zhicheng, I haven't even betrayed you yet, and you've already fired me! Well done! You're finished, you're gone.
He hadn't originally planned to sell all of the deadly intelligence he'd secretly gathered about Jiang Zhicheng, only a portion of it. But it seems he doesn't need to be so stingy anymore; he should still make some money.
"It's alright. Since he won't keep me, I'll just go and join Gao Zhuoyi." Yu Ling said to Nan Miaoyin's incomprehensible gaze, "Anyway, backstabbing my former superior is something I'm good at."
"Excuse me, I'll come back to see you after I find another job."
Nan Miaoyin: No, I haven't even told you to work for me yet, why did you leave?
Over here, Yu Ling was furious and desperately wanted to kill someone.
Just in time, the underground party and Roach should be meeting to discuss the seal issue, and the R country spy is about to be exposed. It's the perfect opportunity to overthrow Marshal Ji!
With Yu Ling's encouragement, the bewildered underground party members suddenly realized that such a farcical situation could not possibly have happened by chance! Why did Marshal Ji suddenly crack down on the underground party at this time to vent his anger?
Roach isn't stupid; he couldn't possibly have lost such an important seal. The fact that he suddenly retrieved it from a spy in R country at this time—could it be some kind of conspiracy?
As we all know, R country has a long history of atrocities and is particularly cruel to civilians and prisoners. Knowing that they are hated, R country spies would be trying to hide themselves as well as possible, so how could they dare to expose themselves?
A conspiracy, a huge conspiracy! This is targeting their underground party!
You, Luo Qi, I thought you were just working for the government, but I never expected you to have connections with Marshal Ji behind the scenes. How absurd!
The underground party discovered this problem a long time ago, but they couldn't figure it out no matter how hard they tried. They wondered what the other party was after, so they simply gave up. The investigation over the past few days has not been without results.
They had already devised a breakthrough method to infiltrate the area, and this was a golden opportunity. Commander Ji's campaign abroad would only last a few days (according to Yu Ling's false information). They could secretly eliminate his son and then move their position. This time, they were sure to succeed!
At the guard headquarters, regardless of whether the steamed bun shop owner surrendered or wanted to atone for his crimes, Roach's attitude towards the Japanese and those who worked for them was always firm: they had to be exterminated. Playing the sympathy card would not only be useless, but would only result in a beating.
The spy who stole the seal soon "committed suicide out of fear of punishment," which only further solidified the conspiracy theories in the minds of the underground party members.
Before Yu Ling could even don her disguise and offer them advice, a silent battle had already begun.
...
The door to the Young Marshal's Mansion creaked open, and Young Marshal Ji, dressed in military uniform, entered the room. For the first time, he did not lash out in anger, but instead wore a somber expression, and his oppressive aura caused his subordinates beside him to break out in a cold sweat.
"Reporting to the young marshal! Our warehouse has been robbed, and more than a dozen people have been killed. We have captured two of the thugs."
Young Marshal Ji interrupted his subordinate who was reporting military intelligence and waved away those around him. He sat down alone at the table, and after his subordinates had left and discreetly closed the door, he slowly rubbed his temples and said:
"Underground party, impressive methods, you've kept it well hidden... Aren't you afraid my father will wipe you out?!"
With his eyes coldly fixed on the newspaper in his hand, even without reading it carefully, Ji Shaoshuai was certain that it was mocking him for not even being able to look after a city properly. If the newspaper company wasn't his father's, he would have silenced them long ago!
He placed the crumpled, obviously mangled newspaper on the table, pushed it forward, his veins bulging on his hands, his eyes bloodshot and flashing with a fierce light, muttering to himself, "Disgraceful! Utterly disgraceful! This must never be told to my father!"
After threatening his father's spies and subordinates, Young Marshal Ji picked up a gun and led his team to launch a battle against the underground Communist Party.
The consequence of his stubbornness was that he lost miserably.
With Yu Ling, the instigator, as the mastermind behind it all, it would be difficult for the underground party not to win.
...
The atmosphere was heavy inside the Marshal's Mansion, far away in another city.
"Young Marshal Ji was attacked by bandits on his way to Y City. He and his men were captured, and their current fate is unknown..."
The messenger stammered, and before he could finish speaking, Commander Ji, unable to contain his rage, lunged forward and punched the innocent soldier hard. Then, a deafening barrage of gunfire erupted.
This behavior is just like his son's; he's easily angered.
The rustling sound of fragments of the letter drifting into my ears, until finally, only a furious growl from Commander Ji remained.
"[Beep beep—] The underground party member, I [beep beep beep—be ...
Even Gao Zhuoyi, who was watching the show, was shocked by Yu Ling's crazy actions. He originally wanted to save Young Marshal Ji, but he was too late in the end.
Zhao Zhongkai, you are truly brave. I'm afraid I can't save you. Let's see how you explain this to the enraged Commander Ji!
Meanwhile, Yu Ling, disguised as a bandit leader, is leading a group of real bandits and doing unspeakable things to the "missing" Young Marshal Ji...
