Chapter 31
"What's going on? What happened, Captain?"
In the office of the Presidential Palace Security Team One, He Yihang was immediately stunned as several colleagues walked towards him. After they came up and handcuffed him with specially made handcuffs, his voice trembled as he asked the question.
Even so, he did not struggle, but allowed several colleagues from different offices in the same department to quickly handcuff him.
"And that one—"
The person who was arresting him didn't answer him immediately, but instead winked at the people behind him, signaling them to quickly arrest the one at the very back.
Seeing that He Yihang had already been caught, the group stopped paying attention to him and quickly went to grab Shen He, who was at the very back.
At that moment, everyone in the guard office instinctively remained silent and stood up.
Just when everyone thought that Shen He, who was in the far corner, would be as quiet as He Yihang,
Suddenly, the two people closest to Shen He moved. Seeing that they had activated their superpowers, Shen He, who was being protected by them, did not hesitate any longer and raised his hand towards the captain of the team in front.
Green, thorny vines swept past the group of people in the middle, rushing straight towards them like lightning.
The squad leader who had just been torturing He Yihang quickly pushed away the people around him, and at the same time, a burst of golden flames suddenly erupted from his body, directly scorching the sharp vine that was aimed at his neck.
"Damn it, it's him!!"
Everyone reacted instantly, whether it was the dozen or so colleagues from other offices who had come to arrest people, or the dozen or so people who had been resting in this office but were now cautiously observing. Everyone unleashed all their skills, attacking the three former colleagues who dared to make a move in this setting. Even He Yihang, who had been handcuffed, shouted and tore off his handcuffs, joining in the fray.
The flashing lightning, like icy blades, instantly pierced through the tables, chairs, and benches with the powerful current of the water. One by one, the plant vines swept over the flowerpots and stools, sending them flying directly towards the three people like the most primitive bullets.
In an instant, the entire office of the Presidential Palace Security Department was engulfed in sparks and lightning, and all the furnishings inside were reduced to ashes.
Even the wall behind Shen He suddenly developed a large hole.
But just as Shen He flew out, the other plant-based ability users in the house activated their powers at the same time. Several vines flew out and quickly hooked around his waist, pulling him back inside.
After being slammed heavily inside, the extremely handsome plant-type cultivator Shen Teng's expression changed instantly.
After he stood up abruptly using the force, when he looked up again, his facial features and height had all changed.
"Protect the adults!!"
One of the guards protecting "Chen He" shouted and quickly transformed. Before everyone's eyes, he became a cockroach monster three meters tall, its terrifying head touching the ceiling of the office. After transforming, he let out two sharp, piercing screams into the distance. His accomplice, almost instantly, also transformed into a three-meter-tall cockroach monster, mimicking his actions perfectly.
"Oh no, they're calling for help—brothers, kill them quickly!!"
The new person who came to help in this office quickly reminded them, and then immediately led his team into the fray.
"Try to capture that 'master' as much as possible. If he resists fiercely, you can kill him!"
Just then, the loudspeaker above their heads blared, and the cold voice of the head of the guards came through.
At his command, almost all the guards rushed toward that spot.
That night, the entire presidential palace security detail was in an uproar.
Suddenly, over a hundred cockroach monsters flew into the guardhouse.
Upon seeing the densely packed black monsters flying towards them, the leader of the guard team turned green with fear.
After ordering his men to capture Shen He that very day, he immediately went to the Presidential Office at the Presidential Palace to report on his work.
Tang Ke didn't learn everything about what happened that night until dawn.
At that time, the so-called "adult" was already imprisoned in the prison with the strictest national security level.
The Presidential Palace was so lively late at night; people outside must have gotten some information.
But nothing came out of the presidential office, and people outside dared not report or investigate, so everything remained quiet.
In this atmosphere, Chen Nan investigated privately for several days and finally figured out a clue.
So, shortly after getting off work that day, Chen Nan immediately grabbed her laptop and knocked on her mentor's door.
"Nannan, is something the matter?"
Tang Ke was relatively lenient with Chen Nan.
When other people are with their cubs at this time, they usually follow them around protecting them. But with Chen Nan, Tang Ke took her to the Ping'an Police Station and basically didn't care about her anymore, letting her cooperate with everyone on her own. In any case, she never contacted him privately. So, Tang Ke was quite surprised to see Chen Nan suddenly knocking on the door.
"Master, I want to show you something."
After glancing at the other person's room, Chen Nan went inside with her notebook in hand.
The other party's house looked exactly the same as my house; many things hadn't even been changed. It was exactly the same as when they moved in.
So Chen Nan didn't pay attention to her surroundings. After sitting on the other person's small sofa, she quickly waved for the other person to sit down.
"What is it?" After hesitating for a few seconds, Tang Ke hesitated for a moment, but finally sat down next to him.
"It's like this, Master, do you remember that I used your new student information to look up some things a few days ago?"
Tang Ke nodded, and Chen Nan, seeing that he remembered, immediately put on an air of having discovered a great secret: "I investigated them to find out what they did to get into the presidential security detail at such a young age. That day I remembered a few typical cases, and then privately checked their accounts and private lives. And what did you see I found?"
"What did you find?"
At this moment, Tang Ke was actually questioning Chen Nan's motives for investigating those people, but Chen Nan's background was very clear and verifiable, and the other party was someone he had personally brought to the Institute of Superpowers for conversion. So even though he had a little doubt in his heart, Tang Ke still put on the same attitude as before.
"I've noticed that this Shen He has an abnormally thin family background. His grandparents, parents, brothers, and all his friends and classmates from childhood all died in that cockroach planet raid. I won't say anything about that, there's not much to say. But look at his following list and the people who follow him, do you see anything?"
Chen Nan quickly opened both lists and then showed them side by side to Tang Ke.
“Many of them have darkened. His family and friends have all sacrificed themselves. This is normal, right?” Even though they had captured Shen He several days ago, Tang Ke still said this at this moment.
"No, his grandparents are relatives on his father's side. It's normal that all those people disappeared at the same time, their accounts all going black and dark. But it's not normal that some of the other people on these lists have different IP addresses than his parents' and grandparents' accounts, and those accounts also went black and dark. I checked carefully, this is his maternal grandfather's account, this is his maternal grandmother's account, this is his uncle's account, this is his aunt's account, and this is his thirteen-year-old nephew's account—they all passed away one after another during the years the other was in university. This is too much of a coincidence—"
When Chen Nan first discovered these things, she didn't feel much. She was even glad that she had discovered these obvious abnormalities.
But now, as she opened each of these grayed-out accounts and realized that each one, now blacked out, represented a once vibrant and real person, Chen Nan suddenly felt a pang of sadness and couldn't continue speaking.
Novels are just novels. Whether it's the destruction of a city or corpses strewn across the fields, they're just a few light and airy words.
But in reality, just looking at the relatives of "Shen He" who were secretly killed by so-called cockroach star spies, Chen Nan felt it was cruel and unbelievable.
"I understand what you mean. I will have someone investigate thoroughly. If they find anything, we will definitely not let them get away with it."
Previously, Tang Ke had some wild suspicions, but seeing Chen Nan's slightly sad expression at this moment, Tang Ke put away all her doubts.
He no longer makes wild guesses about many things; he only looks at the results.
If it benefits him and the country, then it doesn't matter.
But if it's harmful to him and also damages national interests, it's best to hand it over directly to the relevant departments.
From any perspective, this incident demonstrates Chen Nan's high level of vigilance. Ultimately, the outcome was beneficial to both them and the country.
So Tang Ke stopped making wild guesses and immediately did what Chen Nan wanted to see.
"That's good. Actually, I was just guessing about this. I'm not entirely sure, but I feel we should have someone investigate just in case. You should investigate first and then take action. If it's a misunderstanding, this way we won't cause trouble for others."
Chen Nan wasn't sure if her research was accurate, but the person was indeed a plant-based ability user, exceptionally good-looking, and seemed to be the right age. Plus, he had undergone plastic surgery, and everyone around him was gone, making him seem like a close match. So Chen Nan felt that this person was the one. However, she wasn't 100% certain, so as she left with her notebook, Chen Nan couldn't help but say a few more words.
"Okay, we will investigate before taking any action. We won't wrongly accuse innocent people." Understanding her concerns, Tang Ke smiled and nodded again.
"..."
It was rare to see him smile like that, so Chen Nan relaxed a bit and immediately smiled and said goodbye to him as well.
*
After telling Tang Ke about it, Chen Nan really felt much more relaxed.
Her abilities are limited to this. Although she currently possesses lightning powers, which are relatively rare in this world, she is essentially still a nobody who knows nothing.
When it comes to a major incident like a spy in a country, Chen Nan's first thought is to report it to the government.
However, this might alert the enemy, so with Tang Ke as a special advantage, Chen Nan naturally had to make good use of it.
Anyway, after telling Tang Ke what happened, Chen Nan slept well that night, which was rare for her.
The next morning, when Tang Ke saw her, he told her that "Shen He" had been captured. Chen Nan was stunned for a moment, but quickly asked anxiously, "Master, is this true? Is it that fast? If it's so fast, could we have arrested the wrong person? Could we have wrongly accused someone?"
"No, the medical team has already done genetic testing; he's not human!"
Tang Ke dispelled all of Chen Nan's worries with a single sentence. After confirming that they hadn't made a mistake, Chen Nan belatedly became happy: "Really? That's great. But is it really that easy?"
"It wasn't easy. We lost over thirty people, seriously injured, trying to capture him. But anyway, we finally caught him. Otherwise—"
Otherwise, there was something Tang Ke didn't say, but Chen Nan could guess.
"If you can catch him, then interrogate him more and find out who his accomplices are. If he refuses to talk no matter what, use him to threaten the people outside and see if you can use him to lure out some people."
The two walked towards the cafeteria together. Chen Nan temporarily put aside her disbelief and joy and quickly made a suggestion.
For now, all that's needed is to confirm that the person is indeed an alien spy; the rest can be dealt with later. Now that she's certain she hasn't wronged anyone, Chen Nan is completely at ease.
We will—
Tang Ke glanced at everyone in the cafeteria subconsciously, then quietly told them about their arrangements while picking up their trays.
Chen Nan was quite interested in how to interrogate spies and how to utilize them. She immediately took her tray, got her breakfast, and listened attentively.
