Song Jinze: 「So… do you want to consider sleeping with me?」
Xu Lian: 「…」
Xu Lian: 「You…」
Xu Lian: 「Are you insane?」
Song Jinze: 「?」
Xu Lian: 「Do you have some kind of addiction?」
Xu Lian: 「Why do you always bring this up?」
Xu Lian: 「Insane.」
Xu Lian: 「Forget it then.」
Song Jinze: “….”
Forget it? How can I just let it go like that?
You call me a scumbag, you call me insane… but you, Rolling Wealth… what are you?
Anti-marriage law image ambassador?
Top ten debaters of cheating?
Chief debater of marital fault?
Lifetime honorary member of the Hypocrisy Association?
Champion of the double-standard world finals?
Practitioner of leniency to self and strictness to others?
A flood of ridiculous honorary titles raced through Song Jinze’s mind, all assigned in one breath to Rolling Wealth.
Xu Lian, unaware of this mental rant, only focused on her own words—
Xu Lian: 「Commander Song, I have something to tell you.」
Beep—the message was rejected.
A glaring red exclamation mark appeared on the chat box.
She froze, then widened her eyes in disbelief.
Song Jinze had blocked her.
Xu Lian: “….”
Damn it!! Ahhh!
Damn it!!! Ahhh!!
I still have very important things to tell you!!
Xu Lian nearly felt a stroke from anger, but she could only temporarily exit Song Jinze’s chat and turned to contact Gu Ying instead.
Gu Ying’s last message had been—
Gu Ying: How have you been recently? Are you okay?
Xu Lian knew Gu Ying’s tricks all too well.
This guy liked to play both sides, spin illusions, and fish for attention, using verbal promises and false concern to fool others into thinking he cared.
In reality, he loved stabbing people in the back, two-faced, sugar-coated knives.
Xu Lian didn’t want to play his game, but holding back her disgust, she typed:
Xu Lian: 「I’m fine, Commander Gu, it’s just… I miss you.」
Xu Lian: 「Have you been well? Is the plan going smoothly? Any injuries?」
Xu Lian: 「I’m very worried about you.」
Xu Lian: 「Also… I wonder if you could reconsider letting me continue working for you? I really want to follow you. You have boundless potential, you’re brilliant and capable, unmatched in the entire Federation in both strategy and skill!」
After sending the long message, she turned her head and retched slightly.
Too damn nauseating.
Gu Ying casually curled a smile on his lips… This Rolling Wealth really can’t stay away from me. It’s all my fault—my charm is too strong. Even when you’re close to death, you can’t let go of me.
He shook his head helplessly and sent: 「Ah, I really can’t do anything with you.」
Gu Ying: 「It’s possible, yes, but you know the organization needs useful people. You… ah, I’m not saying you’re useless, but in the few days you were gone, have you achieved anything?」
Xu Lian knew he was playing psychological games again—saying “I’m not saying you’re useless” while implying exactly that.
Xu Lian: 「Of course, Commander Gu. I’ve successfully infiltrated Song Jinze’s location and earned his trust. I can immediately provide you with effective intelligence.」
Gu Ying sat back, surprised.
He hadn’t expected Xu Lian to actually remain loyal and infiltrate as a double agent.
Still, doubts lingered—what if Xu Lian was a spy?
He softened his tone—
Gu Ying: 「It’s fine, don’t rush. Speak slowly and stay discreet. Were you treated poorly there?」
Xu Lian: 「No… except my neck tracker suddenly exploded. Luckily I noticed and removed it in time.」
Gu Ying: 「Tch. What happened? How could they put a tracker on you?! I’ll deal with them later.」
Xu Lian: 「I don’t know… the procedure hurt a lot.」
Xu Lian: 「Thank you, Commander Gu, you’re so kind.」
Gu Ying: 「Song Jinze didn’t suspect anything, right? How did he treat you?」
Xu Lian skirted the question: 「Not as good as you… I prefer you over him.」
Gu Ying smugly rubbed his chin, pleased, stars practically twinkling in his eyes.
Gu Ying: 「Ah, Xiao Lian, thank you for your hard work. Since you’ve already approached Song Jinze, you don’t need to handle the low-level tasks anymore. Anything you need, have Mu Hua assist you. Take care of yourself, I feel for you.」
Xu Lian: 「Thank you, Commander Gu. My life is yours. I’ll continue handling low-level tasks thoroughly.」
Gu Ying: 「Xiao Lian, you’re so sensible. Don’t worry, I won’t treat you unfairly. Anything you need, just ask.」
Xu Lian: 「Thank you, Commander Gu. I’m already satisfied that you value me.」
Gu Ying: 「Mm. So, what’s the intelligence?」
Xu Lian: 「Song Jinze plans to kill White Chess.」
Xu Lian didn’t actually know that Song Jinze truly intended to kill White Chess. She simply wanted to sow confusion and quickly build Gu Ying’s trust.
Gu Ying: 「?」
He hadn’t expected such a leap in information.
Gu Ying: 「Why?」
Xu Lian: 「I’m not entirely sure, but I heard… White Chess intends to kill me. What’s going on, Commander Gu?」
Gu Ying’s eyelid twitched.
Damn. This was arranged by me, but how could I have expected Xu Lian to get this far?!
Still, he couldn’t blame himself—she had detected that particular illness.
Gu Ying: 「I don’t fully understand this either, but I’ll immediately make him cancel the plan.」
Xu Lian: 「Mm… just cancel the plan?」
Gu Ying paused.
So, this damn woman dares to push me around.
He pretended to agree: 「Don’t worry, I’ll make him back off.」
Xu Lian: 「Mm. Commander Gu, you’re so good.」
Gu Ying twitched at the corner of his mouth.
He felt Xu Lian was subtly manipulating him.
But she had helped him this once, and her information was accurate—he could consider sparing her for now.
Xu Lian turned off her bracelet and said to Lin Zhaocai: 「Intercept White Chess’s bracelet signals immediately.」
Lin Zhaocai, expression serious, stared at his device: 「Mm, I’ll watch it, don’t worry.」
Xu Lian relaxed. Lin Zhaocai was in the tech department; the organization’s entire security system was his creation. Intercepting or tampering with a signal was trivial for him.
Sure enough, within minutes, they intercepted Gu Ying’s information from White Chess.
Gu Ying: 「Don’t kill Xu Lian yet.」
Gu Ying: 「She’s infiltrated Song Jinze’s location; she can still be useful.」
Nothing more.
Gu Ying didn’t mention making White Chess “get lost.”
Unfortunately, these messages didn’t reach White Chess.
At this moment, White Chess sat in a flying car, speeding toward the meeting spot with Broken Snake.
Xu Lian slung her sniper rifle on her back and whistled: 「Let’s go, Zhao Cai, let’s meet them.」
Lin Zhaocai carried a load of equipment: 「Ready?」
Xu Lian performed a final check on her rifle, clicked the loaded magazine into place, closed the bottom plate, and said:
「All set.」
