Chapter 717 The Target of Surveillance
Chapter 717 The Target of Surveillance
After Liang Ye showed off two plates of barbecue and watermelon in a hurry, and seemed to be able to continue eating normally after drinking a large glass of draft beer, Lin Yu couldn't help but wonder if Liang Ye also took the [Feast Pendant] or a similar [prop].
Although the peninsula is not a big place, it does have something to say.
Although Liang Ye seems to have been here for a short time, he seems to have a special attack on barbecue and watermelon, which is blessed by his blood.
Looking at Liang Ye who was wiping his mouth with a tissue, Lin Yu asked, "But, Captain Liang Ye, why did you come to this hot spring hotel?"
"Do you simply want to ask the new comrade Zhiyuan to relax?"
Liang Ye curled his lips. "That's not the case... I was just on a surveillance mission—shit, it's a job assigned by the higher-ups. The call from headquarters came directly to my cell phone—the 'Professor' called personally."
Lin Yu was shocked.
"Who is so famous?"
"He's not a small-time character, but he's not a very powerful guy either. However, he happens to be involved in a big incident. Don't worry too much. If he were a really powerful character, we wouldn't be the ones tailing him. At least it's not just the two of us, or we're not tailing him."
"And don't get too nervous just because the 'Professor' called. He loves micromanaging."
As Liang Ye was talking, Zhiyuan said, "Can we tell him about this?"
"This Xiba was hand-picked by my deputy captain, Li Hua. He also has the recommendation of the Grandmaster. There's nothing I can't tell him," Liang Ye looked at Zhiyuan. "I'm telling you, Old Qi, can you be a little more sensitive? No wonder he started out so high but is now constantly being exiled!"
"He's a trusted confidant among trusted confidants. If there's anyone unreliable in the Jiangcheng branch... it definitely isn't him," Liang Ye said firmly. "Even if headquarters says there must be a traitor between us, I'd rather suspect that I betrayed the organization without knowing it."
Liang Ye said this, and Zhiyuan nodded slightly.
"I see." He looked at Lin Yu and gave him an apologetic smile again. "Sorry, don't take what I said just now to heart."
Lin Yu didn't care, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, if the mission is important, it's a good thing to be cautious."
Although Zhiyuan doubted him, it was precisely because of this doubt that Lin Yu felt that this guy was more trustworthy.
Thinking of the fact that he had executed members of the Order, Lin Yu fell into deep thought...
"He's powerful, and he's not afraid to question his fellow Order members, even going so far as to attack them... If we really want to eliminate the traitors, he'd be a great helper."
Lin Yu looked at Liang Ye again: "But, Captain, you are on a surveillance mission, how come you are eating and drinking in the hotel buffet restaurant?"
"You've been drinking too much, you're too relaxed!"
Liang Ye heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. "Oh, it's just a drink—mainly because this mission isn't really that dangerous or urgent, and the situation tonight is really, really special!"
"Shit, the members of our Order are also human beings with flesh and blood, with emotions and desires," Liang Ye pointed at Zhiyuan over there, "This kid is heartbroken."
Zhiyuan remained silent upon hearing this, and just drank a sip of beer silently: "I don't have any."
"Who are you kidding? You were playing on your phone in your room, but suddenly you lost focus and started walking around. Then you opened the game screen, stared blankly for a while, and then quit without playing," Liang Ye said bluntly. "What else could it be if you weren't dumped by a woman?"
Zhiyuan sighed: "Don't talk nonsense, I've been kicked out for one year, two months, and fourteen days."
Then, as if remembering something, he picked up his phone and said, "Oh, it's already past 12:17. That means it's been one year, two months, and fifteen days."
Lin Yu looked at the other person's bitter smile and the changes in tone, trying hard to memorize and include them in his own performance material library of "bitterness, regret, and heartbreak".
Then, Lin Yu asked, "What did you see?"
"She's married to someone else."
As Zhiyuan spoke, Lin Yu and Liang Ye fell silent at the same time.
Then Liang Ye poured another full glass of beer.
"Oh shit, no more, hey, no more, let's go."
Having said that, Liang Ye drank it all in one gulp.
Then Liang Ye looked at Lin Yu stiffly and changed the subject: "Shit, why are you eating in this hot spring hotel so late at night?"
"Oh, my sister passed away last week, and I came to relax."
Lin Yu replied.
Liang Ye was stunned: "Brother Xiba, you... you... I... Ah Xiba, fuck!"
He filled up his large glass of draft beer and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhiyuan looked at Lin Yu and patted him on the shoulder.
"My condolences. Take a good rest during this period. I will help you write an application to the organization."
Lin Yu smiled silently: "Thank you, I've recovered now."
"Besides, I feel like there's something else I should do... Since I've met you guys, I'll help you keep an eye on them."
"Who is this person and what is this?"
As Lin Yu was speaking, Zhiyuan hesitated to answer, and Liang Ye suddenly raised his hand.
"Well, it doesn't hurt to tell you—the target just started moving!"
"The sensor I placed at the door to the room moved!"
Liang Ye said this, then took out an electronic screen from his arms.
"I've asked the technicians at the forum to help me hack into the hotel corridor surveillance... the one at door 8082 is it."
As he spoke, Lin Yu leaned over to take a look, and then he saw a familiar figure again.
"Huh? 'Thief'?!"
Who else could that young girl walking in the corridor wearing hotel slippers and a loose coat and looking like an old man be but Li Nian?
"Good eyesight, yes, it's the 'Master Thief,'" Liang Ye said solemnly, "We must keep a close eye on her."
Lin Yu was a little puzzled: "What kind of big trouble could she get into?"
"She stole Cress's [Siren's Blessing]."
Zhiyuan said in a serious tone.
Lin Yu was even more surprised: "Is 'Cress' so prestigious?"
"Of course, it's not about his reputation, but about [Siren's Blessing] not falling into the hands of the 'Thief'," Zhiyuan explained. "To be more precise, it absolutely cannot fall into the hands of the 'Free Alliance'!"
"The Free Alliance has a master who also has roots in the Pure Ruins. While we don't know his codename, he's likely been stuck at the Third Stage for quite some time... Based on our analysis of the Free Alliance's past movements, the key to his advancement to the Fourth Stage is likely to be collecting the Nine Treasures of the Pure Ruins."
"[Siren's Blessing] is one of them... Of these nine treasures, only four are definitely in the hands of players!"
"And last week and the week before that when [Siren's Blessing] was stolen, two other 'treasures' also disappeared!"
"It's clear that headquarters doesn't want the Free Alliance to have another 'Level 4' expert, so they're naturally keeping an eye on this 'thief'. From intelligence, we know that she hasn't yet given the [Siren's Blessing] to the person in the Free Alliance who needs it!"
