Chapter 252 The Mastermind Hidden in the Shadows



Li Yin awkwardly got up, standing helplessly in front of Mu Cangnan, unsure how to explain her actions.

She had never been so humiliated in her nearly twenty years of life, especially not in front of the man she had secretly loved for so long!

The atmosphere instantly became extremely awkward. She rubbed her hands together, and suddenly, as if remembering something, she pointed to the ground and said, "There was lightning just now! It scared me to death! Look, there are still lightning bolt patterns on the ground!"

Mu Cangnan looked down and saw a lightning bolt pattern on the ground.

He said, "I was in the kitchen just now and I did hear lightning and thunder. How could there be lightning and thunder on such a sunny day?"

These are freshly boiled eggs. Applying a hot egg to your face can help reduce swelling!

He handed the eggs to Li Xiyue.

Li Yin took the egg, which was hot and scalding. She wrapped it in a towel and applied it to her face.

She said, "Come in and sit down!"

She still has a chance if Mu Cangnan gets in!

And now she doesn't know where the mosquito flew off to; she hasn't seen a mosquito for half a day!

Without mosquitoes bothering her, she and Mu Cangnan could do whatever they wanted!

Mu Cangnan said, "You should get some rest!"

After saying that, he turned and left. His direction was clear; he walked directly to a big tree and said, "Get down here, you bastard!"

The little soldiers on the tree slunk down one by one.

They were all soldiers under Mu Cangnan's command.

Zhang Dongsheng was pushed to the bottom. He awkwardly scratched the back of his head and said, "Hey boss! This tree is growing crooked, let's go up and trim the branches!"

Mu Cangnan said, "Looks like I'm not tired during the day! Ten-kilometer training!"

Zhang Dongsheng jumped up in fright, shouting, "Ten kilometers will kill you! Boss, spare us! We're exhausted! We're incredibly exhausted! We're dead tired!"

He turned to look at his younger brothers.

The young men nodded repeatedly, "Boss, we're so tired, we could fall asleep standing up!"

As they talked, they ran backwards. In the next instant, they disappeared like a tornado, and they even scattered!

Mu Cangnan rolled his eyes. These brats have become clever enough to know how to scatter and run away. He can only catch one or two at most, while the others can escape.

These little rascals love to eavesdrop, they really need to break this habit!

He walked back to his dormitory with his hands behind his back, thinking, "I'll spare their lives for now!"

Li Yin's face turned pale and then ashen. If several people were hiding in the big tree, then everything she had just done must have been seen by them.

Her mind went blank for a while, and she wished she were dead!

This is utterly shameful!

She touched her face with her hand, but suddenly something occurred to her.

She closed the door, smiling coldly. What was she afraid of losing face? After all, he was now carrying Li Xiyue's face. Even if he lost face, it would be Li Xiyue's face, not hers!

Nobody knew she was Li Yin!

She is Li Yin, who died long ago!

So as long as she runs fast this time, her name won't even be on the national wanted list!

Who can sentence someone who is already dead to death again?

Her poppy-like smile grew even more intense!

She climbed into bed to sleep, she was so tired, she was almost driven crazy by that mosquito today!

But where would mosquitoes come from at this time? She couldn't figure it out.

The next morning, as the sky was just beginning to lighten, the whole earth was still shrouded in a daze.

Even in the military region, the soldiers who are used to waking up early are still not up.

Li Yin was woken up by the alarm she had set. She quickly got up and quietly slipped out of the room, arriving at the designated contact point as instructed by her superiors.

The location was in a small grove of trees near her family dormitory room.

She walked to the third tree on the left after turning left on the path, and sure enough, she saw a figure with its back to her.

The sky was dimly lit, and the figure of that person was hidden in the darkness.

Li Yin walked over and said, "Are you the King of Hell?"

A man's voice echoed eerily from the darkness, "Yes! How's the operation going? Did you put the thing I asked you to put in Mu Cangnan's desk?"

Li Yin said, "I didn't have a chance yesterday, but I'll find another opportunity to let it go today!"

The man said, "No chance yesterday? You were with Mu Cangnan almost all day yesterday, how come you didn't have a chance?"

If I remember correctly, you also went to Mu Cangnan's dormitory room.

"You could have just left that letter in his drawer, right? Li Yin, you wouldn't happen to be reluctant to part with Mu Cangnan, would you?"

Li Yin heard the familiar name; it had been a very, very long time since anyone had called her by that name!

She touched her face. She was jealous of Li Xiyue, but she only wanted to take everything from Li Xiyue, not destroy everything she had!

But now she can only live in Li Xiyue's shadow as Li Xiyue's substitute!

She said, "There really wasn't a chance yesterday. I couldn't just put the letter in his drawer in front of him, could I?"

Today, I will definitely find a chance to put my heart into his drawer.

The man said, "Don't try to play any tricks on me! I can let you live, and I can make you die again! This matter must be settled today!"

Li Yin said, "Yes, I will definitely find a chance to put the letter in his drawer today! I will let you know as soon as I have the letter in!"

The man said, "Okay, you can leave now!"

Li Yin turned around and quickly left this place of trouble. She bit her lower lip lightly. She had to put the letter in Mu Cangnan's drawer today!

She only has one day to win over Mu Cangnan!

Her hands clenched into fists. The man was right in front of her. She had successfully impersonated Li Xiyue, so why couldn't she get this man?

She quietly slipped back to her room, closed the door, and cautiously pulled back the curtains a crack to peek outside.

Outside, it was still a hazy white, and everything was quiet; no one noticed his actions.

She climbed back into bed to continue sleeping; she was so tired that she fell asleep in a second.

In the printing factory office, Zhao Jingsong struggled to open his eyes and observe everything around him.

After a night of recovery, he felt better and his stiff hands and feet could slowly move again.

He tried to roll over, and all his joints felt like they had been broken and were being reassembled.

He winced in pain, almost crying out.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he forced himself to get up from the ground.

He stared intently at the window. As long as he stood up, walked to the window, and opened the latch, he could run away!

He braced himself on the ground and struggled to his feet...
