Chapter 123 Li Muqing may be an enemy agent (1/2)



"What's this?" Chu Xun asked, puzzled, after hearing the commotion at the educated youth settlement.

Li Xiyue laughed and said, "A few new educated youths have arrived, and they're making a ruckus every day."

She was used to it by now; there were always several such disturbances every day.

Chu Xun looked at her with admiration. She was smart enough to get away beforehand and not get mixed up with those educated youth.

She's a person destined for great things, so she should focus on her own work and not get bogged down in trivial matters, wasting her time.

However, the arrival of new educated youth is a cause for concern; there might be enemy agents among them, so we need to investigate.

The fish was delicious, the lotus root was soft and sweet, and the soup was fragrant and sweet. I ate until I was stuffed.

Li Xiyue was having a walk in the yard with Xiaobai to digest their food when Chu Xun finished cleaning up the kitchen and came out to take a stroll with her.

"Have you found out who's behind Yamamoto?" Li Xiyue asked.

Chu Xun held her hand and said, "I found some information, not much. His name is Miyano Koten. He holds a very important position in Japan. He was the one who planned the smuggling of medical books and the arrest of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners."

“Miyano Koten? Why does that name sound like a combination of Japan and China?” Li Xiyue asked.

Chu Xun nodded. "Indeed, we found out that he is half Chinese. His mother is Chinese, but he grew up in Japan. He is a sharp knife cultivated by Japan. Over the years, he has done a lot of things to harm his fellow Chinese for Japan."

Li Xiyue frowned. "Is he in China?"

"He's not here, but almost all the enemy agents he planted in China have been caught, so we should be safe for the time being."

Of course, he arrested everyone he found, but there may be some who are still well hidden and haven't been found yet.

"Oh, right, Xun." Li Xiyue shook his hand.

Her actions had a hint of coquetry, and Chu Xun's lips curled up, his voice incredibly soft, "Go ahead."

"Could you help me investigate Li Muqing and Li Mingliang, this brother and sister? Find out what happened between them in the Northwest, and why Li Muqing suddenly came to the South?"

The Northwest and the South are separated by a vast distance; Li Muqing couldn't possibly have come here for no reason.

Moreover, Huang Xinrui told her that Li Muqing had been intentionally or unintentionally inquiring about her medical skills these days, and she was certain that Li Muqing was an enemy agent.

Chu Xun immediately gripped her hand tightly. "Li Muqing came to the South? Is she next door?"

Something unusual is bound to happen; this Li Muqing is very likely also an enemy agent.

Li Xiyue nodded, "Yes." She told Li Muqing about her troubles and the broken leg, "Once she recovers, the captain will send her back, but I feel that she came with a purpose and will not leave easily."

She agreed to let Li Muqing stay in order to take the opportunity to find out who was behind her. However, in the past two weeks, Li Muqing had not left the village and had not contacted any outsiders.

"I'll check it out. You need to be careful on your side," Chu Xun said nervously.

Li Xiyue felt that Li Muqing was no match for her, but still wanted to reassure Chu Xun, so she obediently agreed, "Okay."

"You," Chu Xun tapped the tip of her nose, "are always good at pretending to be innocent and fooling people."

She always agreed readily, but then forgot afterwards. Yet, she would always coax him with sweet words and a smile, making him unable to blame her in the slightest.

Li Xiyue snuggled into his arms, denying it, "No way! I'm clearly very well-behaved, why would I need to pretend?"

She's really shameless to say that; she probably doesn't even believe it herself.

Chu Xun was amused and burst into laughter, holding her as if she were a rare treasure, he loved her very much.

Li Muqing was fetching water in the yard when she heard a man's hearty laughter coming from next door. She was puzzled. Why would a man be laughing and talking next door so late?
