Chapter 1532: Chapter 1530: Spy Within a Spy

Ye Xin’s cold eyes locked onto Yang Chen, "The commotion from the suburbs, wasn’t that your doing?"

Yang Chen instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

He hadn’t expected Ye Xin to be so well-informed.

"This time it was..." Yang Chen tried to explain.

Ye Xin immediately said, "Why didn’t you tell me! Those people are clearly targeting us. What if something happens!"

Yang Chen knew Ye Xin was worried about him.

Suddenly, Yang Chen felt a warm feeling in his heart.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Isn’t everything fine now!"

"But you need to let me know! You have no idea how..." Ye Xin’s words were stuck halfway in her mouth.

"I just didn’t want you to worry." Yang Chen said with a smile.

Ye Xin immediately cast a sharp glance over, "Do you think you can hide from me? I know exactly what you do every day!"

Yang Chen broke out in a cold sweat, "Really..."

"What do you think my job is? If I couldn’t manage even this, how would I be a good agent?" Ye Xin said to Yang Chen with a cold smile.

Yang Chen was incredulous, "Why didn’t I notice?"

Ye Xin shrugged, "Trade secrets!"

Yang Chen gave Ye Xin a thumbs up, "Impressive!"

He secretly sweated it out in his heart; from now on, anything he does won’t escape Ye Xin’s notice, what else could he do?

Thinking about it, Yang Chen asked, "What did you do today?"

"Don’t change the subject, your issue hasn’t been explained yet!" Ye Xin glared at Yang Chen, "How’s the investigation? Is everything clear?"

"Of course! We’ve captured the people, it’s only a matter of time before they talk." Yang Chen said proudly.

Once he is involved, how could things not be resolved?

Ye Xin coldly threw her phone onto the table, "Take a look yourself!"

Yang Chen picked up the phone, glanced at it, and his expression immediately turned cold.

It was an emergency signal!

He hadn’t expected that the primitive mine had an emergency button like a bank!

Damn!

He hadn’t thought of this!

If the signal got out, then... the base could be in danger!

Yang Chen immediately looked up at Ye Xin, "This signal!"

"Already intercepted!" Ye Xin said.

Yang Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, saying in a low voice, "Damn! How could this happen? How could there be an emergency signal?"

"A leaf obscuring your vision!" Ye Xin said.

"What?" Yang Chen was puzzled.

"I said, you’re letting a leaf obscure your vision!" Ye Xin said, "We execute missions internationally, we’ve seen all kinds of high-stakes missions, we understand! Their style of ’Beheading Cliff’ tasks is common internationally. But domestically, it’s nonexistent! You didn’t consider the national situation, and would they really act without a backup plan? Impossible!"

Yang Chen was dumbstruck.

He had been mocking the incompetence of the mine personnel, but now realized he was the foolish one; a careless act almost endangered Dongzi and the others!

He forgot that domestic people prefer to have a backup plan!

Yang Chen’s face turned grim as he clenched his fist.

Habitual thinking, indeed, can harm a person!

"You confirmed the interception, right?" Yang Chen asked again.

"Of course!" Ye Xin said, "Don’t doubt my professional ability!"

Yang Chen watched Ye Xin’s proud demeanor and chuckled, "That’s good!"

"By the way, how did you guys..." Yang Chen looked at Ye Xin in confusion.

Ye Xin revealed a slight smile, proudly saying, "I told you, I was also investigating this matter, evidently a bit quicker than you!"

Ye Xin made a tiny gesture.

Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh, this girl was comparing herself to him.

"Alright, you won!" Yang Chen made a defeated expression.

"Hehe!" Ye Xin burst into laughter and said to Yang Chen, "That’s why I say! Without me steering things, how can you execute tasks safely! So in the future, you must tell me if anything happens, okay?"

"Alright, alright!" Yang Chen compromised.

"Fine then! Seeing how obedient you are, let me tell you!" Ye Xin said haughtily.

Yang Chen immediately showed a serious expression, listening attentively.

"Since the explosion in the villa, I have been investigating this matter. Later, I gradually discovered that it was closely tied to a hacker group, and their methods were quite similar to each other, so I focused on them."

"Afterwards, I pinpointed their location and verified their identities. Then I tracked information about their interactions with certain individuals. Among them was Haihui Trading’s president, Liu Peigen!"

"Liu Peigen?" Yang Chen looked at Ye Xin puzzledly.

Ye Xin nodded, "Yes! It’s Liu Peigen! He’s the president of a Sea Trade Company, frequently traveling in and out of the country with cargo ships."

"Are you saying..." Yang Chen’s expression darkened slightly.

"That’s right! His boss behind the scenes is the overseas Yuan Group; he’s an agent conveying the headquarters’ intentions, think of him as an ancient imperial envoy, or Flame Country’s regional spokesperson, the orders he conveys are top priority!" Ye Xin said.

Yang Chen was surprised, "Shouldn’t their own people control this channel?"

"Their own people?" Ye Xin scoffed, "You think there’s less internal family conflict? Their family? Those sent here are squeezed out and can’t remain within the family, wanting absolute authority, impossible!"

Yang Chen slowly nodded, agreeing.

"Did you capture Liu Peigen?" Yang Chen asked.

Ye Xin shook her head, "No!"

"No?" Yang Chen was stunned, "Wouldn’t he know the most?"

Ye Xin shook her head, "Everything he knows, all of it is already under my control! What’s the difference if we capture him or not? Besides, let the fish bite longer, I’ve captured only small fry, the big ones haven’t surfaced, why end now?"

Yang Chen watched Ye Xin, feeling she had taken intelligence work to an extraordinary level! So profound, even Yang Chen couldn’t compare.

"Then you captured the hacker group, wouldn’t Liu Peigen notice?" Yang Chen asked again.

Ye Xin said, "Who said I captured them?"

"Didn’t capture!"

"Didn’t capture?" Yang Chen stared wide-eyed.

"Didn’t capture!" Ye Xin laughed, "I captured them and released them; now they are free!"

"Why?" Yang Chen asked puzzledly.

"Because I’ve recruited them!" Ye Xin laughed.

"Recruited?"

"Yes!" Ye Xin laughed and said, "I think their skills are decent; joining us, they can contribute to the nation, isn’t it great! Instead of living like rats, openly earning money is much better!"

Yang Chen laughed, "You mean they’re your people now and still working for Yuan Group?"

"Correct!" Ye Xin snapped her fingers.

Yang Chen couldn’t help but laugh; he could imagine Yuan Group being played by Ye Xin into a frenzy.
