Chapter 397: First Suspect
Yun Ling returned to his senses after hearing Arctic Fox speak. “Lin Shuang? Why would Lu Chengzhou investigate Lin Shuang?”
Gu Mang said with a calm expression, “Call everyone back first, so that I can make sure everyone is on the same page so they’re more vigilant towards Red Flame.”
Red Flame’s intelligence organization was obviously better than Shadow League’s. The first time they met Lu Chengzhou in Changning County, he had been looking for a genius doctor and almost crossed paths with her. It was evident that Red Flame had what it took. Also, there was also a top hacker in Red Flame who had never revealed himself before.
She had been tricked by them before so she was more vigilant.
Gu Mang had already given her orders and Yun Ling did not dare to delay any further. “Okay, I will call everyone back now.”
With that, he started contacting all those who were performing tasks. The video was put on loudspeaker and Lin Shuang could hear it clearly.
She walked to the computer and laughed. “What are you afraid of? Let Lu Chengzhou look into me. He won’t find anything.”
Yun Ling passed on the order and looked at Gu Mang, quite dazed. “Who will explain the situation to me? What tension is there between Lu Chengzhou and Lin Shuang?”
When the most important thing was resolved, Gu Mang’s brows became calmer. Her black eyes were cold and she said with an emotionless tone, “She bombed Lu Chengzhou’s home in Country K.”
“Damn!” Yun Ling was dumbfounded and she turned to Lin Shuang. “You are so courageous! You really dared to provoke Lu Chengzhou?!”
Lin Shuang raised her eyebrows, looked at Gu Mang, and said righteously, “I went easy on him by just blowing up his house. You were much worse off than he is today.”
Gu Mang pursed her lips. “Lu Qi manages the base and Lu Chengzhou trusts him with it. The people under him were all brought over by Lu Qi himself. After a quick check they would know that there are no spies so all eyes are on you and me.”
She supposed that she and Lin Shuang were the only outsiders who had been to the base. Lu Chengzhou trusted her a lot so even if he suspected her, he wouldn’t look into her. She did not understand what he was thinking. But Lin Shuang would surely be the prime suspect.
Lin Shuang knew that but she was not anxious in the slightest bit. “At most I’ll just lay low for a few days. When the storm has passed, we’ll see what to do about it.”
Yun Ling was confused. “What are the two of you talking about?”
How was Arctic Fox even worse off back then?
Lin Shuang raised her chin on the person on the computer screen, and said concisely, “She is Silence.”
Since Gu Mang revealed her face before Yun Ling she clearly didn’t intend to keep secrets from him. This made Yun Ling feel as if he had been struck by lightning once again.
“Silence… Is Arctic Fox…” Yun Ling’s voice was a little weak and it was as if he could not keep up with them. He looked at Lin Shuang and then at Gu Mang, feeling very dazed. “What does Silence being Arctic Fox have anything to do with you blowing up Lu Chengzhou’s base?”
Gu Mang did not answer. She stretched out her arm across the table. Lin Shuang looked at Gu Mang and explained the main points of everything that had happened in the past three years, as well as the matter about Gu Si hiring assassins.
After Yun Ling listened, he frowned and there was a cold glow in his eyes. “Set up Arctic Fox and almost died to Red Flame?”
Lin Shuang scoffed. “Yeah. So what would blowing up the base even amount to?”
“Indeed.” Yun Ling bit his lip slightly and looked at Gu Mang with heavy eyes. There was some anger in his eyes. “Arctic Fox, I will send people from Shadow League to work with the assassins. A good defense is a strong offense. It will be easy to deal with Lu Chengzhou in Country K.”
Lin Shuang looked at Gu Mang for a moment.
The girl tapped on the table nonchalantly for a few seconds and said, “Up to you. I’m still at training.”
