As soon as Lin Ruo said this, Jiang Yue could easily hear the doubt and sarcasm in her words.
He couldn't quite understand some of Ye Lin's thoughts either, so he could only sigh and explain, "Originally, the base chief only gave him a position because he was one of the founders of the B City base. He just wanted him to have a job. Zhu Zhengzhong didn't have that kind of authority. Who knew this guy would be so dishonest?"
Hearing this, Lin Ruo scoffed, "People like this are only truly honest when they're buried in the ground. Your base commander is really kind."
Jiang Yue touched his nose and looked at Ye Lin sitting to the side. Ye Lin's face was full of embarrassment. Chen Yu also turned his gaze to the window, looking focused, as if there was something outside that particularly attracted him.
Jiang Yue withdrew his gaze, took a light breath, and then coughed lightly before continuing, "We didn't expect him to have the ability to do bad things. According to his confession, it was mainly due to the superhuman who helped him. That person was a special superhuman who could blend into the surrounding environment when using his ability. He could not only make people invisible, but also pass through obstacles. He was undetectable by radar and was a void superhuman. It was this person who helped him get the blueprints."
"Through him, we also learned the details of this experiment. They actually wanted to use the crystal cores of superhumans to make ordinary people gain superhuman abilities. These crystal cores were all dug up by those superhumans while they were alive. These people are simply insane. We have decided to investigate to the end."
Listening to Jiang Yue's description of the superhuman, Lin Ruo stopped chewing, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. This person's superpower seemed familiar. She stopped chewing, thought for a few seconds, and finally remembered.
It seems to be the same one who tried to steal her crystal core but failed; this is the only ability user who escaped from her grasp.
She raised an eyebrow, surprised to find it was someone she knew.
Then her eyes flickered slightly, and she roughly understood why Jiang Yue had made the call. She stirred the rice in her bowl with her chopsticks, already having an idea in mind, but she remained silent and didn't say anything.
Jiang Yue waited a few seconds but did not hear Lin Ruo's response. "Sister Ruo, this person had contact with Zhu Zhengzhong before he escaped. We don't know what Zhu Zhengzhong told him, but in order to prevent him from reporting to the authorities, we must catch him."
“His ability level has reached level 4, and we are having some difficulty capturing him now. I wonder if you could help us out? Don’t worry, we will satisfy whatever you want.”
Lin Ruo had already guessed Jiang Yue's purpose from the beginning. Instead of continuing the previous topic, she asked a question unrelated to what had happened before, "If Zhu Zhengzhong is the mastermind behind the theft of the blueprints, you will definitely be able to find out who is in contact with him. What will you do next?"
“We plan to follow the clues, but although Zhu Zhengzhong has confessed some things, he is still stubbornly refusing to say some key things, which is one of the reasons why we must capture this superhuman.”
"Furthermore, we deduced that the person who contacted Zhu Zhengzhong did not seem to be a core member, because we did not find that strange toxin in his body."
When he mentioned the poison, Lin Ruo across from him didn't ask any further questions. Ye Lin and Chen Yu, who were beside him, looked at him with surprise. They hadn't expected that Jiang Yue had already mentioned this to Lin Ruo. He really didn't hold anything back from her.
Lin Ruo was eating her meal and couldn't see the expressions on Ye Lin and Chen Yu's faces. After thinking for a moment, she said, "I need to know the other party's information, or I can go with you when you take action."
She made no attempt to hide her desire to get involved. She had already considered cooperating with them, and now was the perfect time. They were practically begging her, and she could maximize her own interests.
Jiang Yue was overjoyed when he heard Lin Ruo's words. He had been thinking that this matter was a bit tricky, and it would be great if Sister Ruo could help. He didn't expect the surprise to come so quickly, that Lin Ruo was also so interested in this matter.
"Is it because you have a grudge against them, Sister Ruo? Did one of their people provoke you before? Is that why you want to eliminate them completely?"
After all, the timing of Lin Ruo's appearance when she was cleaning up that base was indeed very coincidental, and now she agreed so readily, making Jiang Yue feel like he had won the lottery. However, he knew that such a coincidence was impossible.
Lin Ruo remained silent for a long time. Naturally, she couldn't bring up her past grudges with this organization. She picked up her chopsticks, took another piece of winter bamboo shoot, put it in her mouth, bit it twice, and then said, "I'm just very interested in these heartless people. I want to cut open their chests and see if they're black inside."
Lin Ruo's words, accompanied by the crunching sound she made while chewing bamboo shoots, made Jiang Yue's breath catch in his throat, and certain bloody images involuntarily appeared in his mind.
It's somewhat nauseating.
He hadn't expected Lin Ruo to say that, but he knew it was probably just an excuse. What was the cause of her hatred? Especially for Lin Ruo, she was never interested in irrelevant things. In her words, she'd rather use this time to cultivate.
Her current interest in these experimental organizations can only mean that there's some past conflict between them, which she just doesn't want to talk about.
But this didn't affect their plans at all. On the contrary, knowing this made them more likely to trust her. Jiang Yue looked at Ye Lin and Chen Yu in front of him, and the expressions on their faces were not much different from his.
Ye Lin nodded at him, and Jiang Yue unconsciously smiled. "Then I wish us a successful collaboration."
Lin Ruo turned to look at the clock. "Did that person escape last night?"
"Yes, someone saw him at 3 a.m. last night. Our people will search outwards from the west and south of the main peak."
"Live?" Lin Ruo didn't slow down her eating speed.
Jiang Yue paused upon hearing this. Zhu Zhengzhong had previously said that he would be responsible for making all the contacts, while Lin Zhong'an was only responsible for stealing the items. Therefore, this person probably didn't know any important information, and whether or not to leave him alive was not so important.
"Zhu Zhengzhong knows everything he knows, so his life or death is of no value. As long as we can stop him from reporting the news, that's enough."
Lin Ruo nodded, estimated the time, checked it again—it was 12:30—and then said, "I'll leave in fifteen minutes."
After hanging up the phone call, Lin Ruo quickened her pace of eating.
It's been over nine hours since 3 a.m. She doesn't know much about the speed of this superhuman, nor does she know if he has anyone to help him. Moreover, she has to chase him from two directions. Although her mental range is very large, she is still alone, which is somewhat troublesome.
Ten minutes later, Lin Ruo finished her meal. She ate all the food on the table. She then leisurely took a kettle from the fireplace, poured some warm water into it, and drank it all in one gulp.
After changing her clothes, she told A-Liu and the others outside the door, then instantly spread her spiritual power and disappeared from the spot. At that moment, the clock on the wall showed exactly 12:45.
