Usually, if someone wanted to fake a member of an organization, the best choice would be a low-rank or unimportant member, so that the chance of being noticed would be much smaller.
So, when Li Shutong said to Qing Chen, “I need you to muddy the water”, the teenager thought that it was a serious and sincere conversation.
Consequently, Qing Chen also believed that his master would be sincere enough to give him the role of a corresponding person.
However, he just never considered that his master was not being sincere at all!
Nor serious…
Who in the world would go pretend to be the boss of some organization?!
Most importantly, when Li Shutong, Lin Xiaoxiao, and Ye Wan showed him Xu Linsen’s video, their expressions were so calm.
Has even Mom Ye, the seemingly honest and innocent man, started to trick people without even the slightest guilt on his face?!
Qing Chen’s cold gaze swept over everyone slowly, but he saw that of the 3,000 people in the square, everyone looked away as his eyes looked over.
Few dared to meet his gaze.
Just by looking at the reactions of these people, Qing Chen could guess what level Xu Linsen was…
At this time, the metal storm above the sky was constantly adjusting, just like when Guo Huchan came in. Even ONE was all in on this…
Of the 210 cameras in the entire prison, at least one-third were looking at him. Qing Chen sighed in his mind. He just never thought that he would be the center of today’s show.
The robot prison guard beside him unlocked the shackles on his hands and feet, and Guo Huchan came to him and whispered, “Boss, why are you here?”
The bald man’s eyes were wide open, studying him from top to bottom, obviously doubting Qing Chen’s identity. After all, as a Spade member, he should have been notified of something as big as Xu Linsen coming into Prison 18. There must be something wrong.
Although Guo Huchan didn’t know where the problem was.
Qing Chen looked around slowly, trying to find out where his master was hiding. In case Guo Huchan found out the truth, he could run towards his master quickly.
But after a few seconds of looking, he didn’t see Li Shutong at all.
Qing Chen’s thought fast, and he suddenly said, “The protest we initiated has begun. If the crowd can reach the upper three districts by 7 PM, then the police and troops in City 18 will all be concentrated to protect the big shots of the consortium. By then, we won’t have to hold back anymore.”
Guo Huchan froze for a moment and touched the back of his head, “Boss, I thought someone was pretending to be you just now… Yu Yuyu told me that everything is going well at the student protest. Yangyang is there, so everything should go according to our plan.”
Qing Chen quietly sighed in slight relief. Others didn’t know that this protest was secretly supported by Spades, but because he knew Yangyang and guessed that Yangyang was a member of Spades, he was able to be quite certain that the Spades were behind all this.
By mentioning that Spades initiated the protest, he was trying to prove his identity.
But Qing Chen didn’t specifically mention Yangyang in his words, because if he directly said that Yangyang initiated it, Yangyang would be able to quickly narrow down who the “impostor” was afterward.
Guo Huchan stroked his bald head and said, “By the way, boss, recently, Yangyang’s information feedback is not very timely. Of course, Yu Yuyu said that she has been busy with organizing the education reform protest, and it’s understandable that we occasionally can’t get in touch with her…”
Qing Chen looked at Guo Huchan and said, “Yangyang is not doing well here. We should fire her.”
Guo Huchan quickly added, “Boss, Yangyang’s ability is indeed very unique and powerful, we shouldn’t let her go just now…”
Qing Chen said expressionlessly, “Fine, let’s just observe her for a little longer.”
“By the way,” Guo Huchan continued, “Yu Yuyu told me that you are planning to head to Firepit before the snow blocks off the mountain roads. Now it seems his news is unreliable.”
Qing Chen got excited by this. Things would be much easier with the real Xu Linsen not around…
He then said expressionlessly, “There are too many unpredictable forces hiding in Prison 18 right now. I was just afraid that you won’t be able to handle all this here, so I came to support. My trip to Firepit can hold off for a bit, but the Forbidden Item will not wait for us.”
“So that’s how it is,” Guo Huchan said, “Boss, you’re indeed thoughtful. Although Li Shutong is not here, people recruited by various forces have also gathered, and the Spades may not have an advantage here. But boss, now that you’re here, the forbidden items ACE-002 and 005 will be ours!”
Quite ambitious, huh? Qing Chen thought, just one isn’t going to satisfy your appetite, so you need to take both…?
He asked calmly, “I was in a hurry on the way here. Please tell me the latest information you have learned regarding the two Forbidden Items.”
Guo Huchan said quietly, “I suspect that ACE-005 is the big cat next to Li Shutong.”
“Why?” Qing Chen asked calmly.
“Because that big cat never sheds! Boss, I have observed it for a long time, and never once did I see hair coming off that cat.” Guo Huchan said, “Firepit also has many cats, but the amount of hair they shed was almost suffocating when I was there. Which cat in the world won’t shed hair?!”
This was truly a blind spot of Qing Chen’s knowledge. He couldn’t even afford to support himself before, not to mention an extra cat. Therefore, he never realized how terrible cats can shed.
It would be a miracle to have a cat that wouldn’t shed like Big Fortune.
Qing Chen thought for a while and said, “That makes sense, but Li Shutong may also bring ACE-005 with him.”
“No,” Guo Huchan said, “Yu Yuyu told me that someone saw Li Shutong appearing in Heng Group, and he met Li Dongze briefly. Li Shutong didn’t have a cat with him. Boss, say, the cats in Firepit sheds during the summer and grow hair during the winter. So, when do humans grow their hair?”
Qing Chen glanced at Guo Huchan’s bald head, “When we’re young.”
Guo Huchan: “…”
During the conversation, Qing Chen found something suspicious. He just now confirmed Yangyang was part of the Spades, and Yangyang knew Li Shutong’s identity and location.
The Spades could have just asked Yangyang directly if Li Dongze had a cat with him.
Could it be that Yangyang was keeping a secret?
This surprised Qing Chen a little.
“What do you think of ACE-002?” Qing Chen asked.
“I haven’t noticed any clue about that yet,” Guo Huchan said, shaking his head.
Guo Huchan rubbed the back of his head and continued, “Right now, Li and Chen have two plans. The first plan is to break through the main gate by force to see if the Forbidden Item is contained there. The second plan is to capture Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan and ask them about the item. When the time comes, we will take advantage of the chaos and rob them directly after they get clues about the Forbidden Item.”
At this time, Qing Chen understood the situation. None of these people knew what ACE-005 and ACE-002 were, nor how they work.
However, if these people dare to attack Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan, they might all die today.
However, judging from the reaction of other prisoners who dared not look at him, Qing Chen wondered if those forces would change their minds on acting today…
The “Ace of Spades” was not part of their original plan after all.
No, Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan have been known for their abilities for years. Since these people came prepared for a tough battle, they must have back up.
At least people strong enough to take on Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan!
Qing Chen thought for a while and started sharing information that was partially true, “Even if ACE-005 isn’t in the prison, I know for a fact that Li Shutong can’t take ACE-002 out of here. Moreover, I’ve gotten some clues on where ACE-002 might be.”
Guo Huchan was overjoyed, and quickly said in a low voice, “Boss, are you serious? We might actually get ACE-002?”
“Yes,” Qing Chen responded with a blank expression like Xu Linsen in the video, “When the time comes, assist me and take ACE-002 away when they are not paying attention.”
Guo Huchan suddenly became excited.
After speaking, Qing Chen looked around and observed the environment.
He suddenly found a problem as he looked around. He couldn’t seem to find anyone that he knew. Liu Dezhu and Yu Junyi were gone, even Lu Guangyi was nowhere to be seen!
That was strange. All the other prisoners were here, so why did they disappear?
Were they transferred to other prisons or locked up in detention rooms? But Li Shutong and Lin Xiaoxiao didn’t mention this matter before.
At this moment, two men in the crowd came toward him and Guo Huchan.
Qing Chen could feel the muscles all over Guo Huchan’s body suddenly tensed up as if a big battle was about to break out.
He sighed in his mind. At this time, his master must also be watching him.
Probably with popcorn or melon seeds…
Why did this happen to him…?!
