Protagonist:

Chen Yi

Chen Yi was not entirely clear on the results of Chen Rongxi's attack on Floating Mountain.

Judging by the platform's emergency maintenance notice the next day, there seemed to be some effect.

However, Little Sister herself did not seem very satisfied, claiming she would continue researching new supercomputer programs — such things are usually only done by the geniuses at large software companies. Chen Yi did not know how much energy Little Sister would have to expend, but he also did not disturb her advanced studies; anyway, with the Chen Family's current level, she could do whatever she wanted.

It was not until the next day, after Jin Douna claimed to have finished reading all the materials, that Chen Yi spoke to her directly: "Starting today, you must consider replacing Liu Xinyu."

"Replace the Young Lady?" Jin Douna was not extremely surprised. She had already read most of what Chen Yi gave her, which included some tokens and passwords. Given her understanding of the Organization, these things could indeed have come from Liu Xinyu.

However, a guess was still just a guess. When Chen Yi actually said it, she was still in shock. After all, in her mind, Liu Xinyu had once been the target she chased, and the embodiment of the strongest woman in her eyes.

Replace her? Such a thought would never have surfaced even in the deepest depths of her heart.

"You don't need to worry about Liu Xinyu's problem. After replacing her, you probably won't need to show up in person either; just maintaining it remotely will do."

Chen Yi's words interrupted Jin Douna's train of thought.

She involuntarily asked: "What happened to the Young Lady?"

Chen Yi did not answer.

She did not dare to ask further.

The next day, Chen Yi examined Jin Douna's proficiency with various passwords and information, then took out the computer from Liu Xinyu's Villa and said: "Contact the Research Society."

Jin Douna was startled, and only spoke after a long while: "Say what?"

"Just say that per convention, the Inspector's safe house and other matters have been prepared, and ask if anything else is needed. Use your usual syntax."

"Inspector..." Jin Douna muttered to herself, suppressing the strangeness in her heart, and began linking to the Organization's specific webpage according to procedure.

She downloaded the day's link tool and input Chen Yi's exact words in English.

Ever since the world had the Internet, the never-fading radio waves have practically become a game console for radio enthusiasts. At least the significance of high-power spy radio stations has greatly diminished.

The entire link tool was pitch black; it even periodically restricted access by physical address. Every member of the "Human Development Research Society" had to regularly collect new equipment. This strengthened confidentiality measures on one hand, and maintained the Organization's Central authority on the other. After all, in a Secret Organization, the core organization does not carry out substantive secret operations, and if the peripheral organizations are too loose, they often deteriorate over time, starting to pursue departmental or personal interests rather than the core values advocated by the Organization.

Inspectors and the Organization's resource allocation are all for advancing toward the same goal.

Soon, the page replied: "No preparation needed."

The corner of Chen Yi's mouth curled into a smile.

He could more or less guess some of the other side's thoughts.

Any large organization has its similarities; as the Inspector's overseer, no matter how thoughtful the reception, it cannot cover up the conflict of interest between him and the inspected.

It is just like the relationship between an Imperial Envoy and a Provincial Governor. No matter how beautiful the former's smile, what he thinks in his brain is using the latter's life as a stepping stone.

In a Secret Organization, the probability of this conflict of interest evolving into a life-and-death struggle is probably much higher than in officialdom.

In fact, isn't Liu Xinyu currently trying to use Zhu Guangliang's hand to kill this Inspector?

If the other party is unwilling to play along, they naturally would not stay in the room she prepared.

"Since it is an open inspection, this person cannot be kept." Chen Yi finished talking to himself, then said to Jin Douna: "You can try contacting the Organization yourself, but everything must be recorded. I'll review it when I get back."

He was not worried at all about Jin Douna betraying him.

First, the "Human Development Research Society" itself is extremely averse to member betrayal. Because they have weaker resistance to betrayal — the gain from re-accepting a traitor cannot offset the damage of a traitor at all, so they will spare no effort to strike at traitors, thereby deterring future ones.

On the other hand, things like Secret Organizations cannot be exposed to Sunlight; no matter how strong, they cannot surpass the Government, otherwise they would have set up on their own long ago. No matter what, Chen Yi is a Chen Family disciple; at worst he can go live in Grandpa's Lao Zhai, and with his own abilities, safety is absolutely not a concern.

But Jin Douna and her family, on the contrary, might suffer Retaliation from both sides because of this.

With her intelligence, she surely can consider this conflict of interest clearly.

Chen Yi drove the Raptor home, and helped the Liu Xinyu who had been detained for three days into the car.

The latter was slightly dehydrated, plus had some minor skin abrasions, but otherwise had no discomfort. Only her gaze toward Chen Yi was rather strange.

Probably anticipating she would be replaced, Liu Xinyu, who had lost her identity documents, was extremely silent, and did not speak a word after getting in the car. Members of a Secret Organization are like spies; once discovered, they fall into danger, and once caught, they almost never have a good outcome. Like sheep in a pen, when they have wool they are led out, and can return after being sheared; when they have no wool and are led out, nine times out of ten they lose their lives.

Chen Yi finally gave the bound Liu Xinyu an evil look, returned to the driver's cabin, and started the Raptor. He thought darkly: Why is it that facing this ** woman, I just can't help myself. Now I've become a thoroughgoing bad playboy.

His mouth muttered "bad playboy," but his mood was not affected in the slightest.

The little lizard had its gag order lifted again; it had learned to behave now. After getting on the driveway, it seemed shy but was actually arrogant as it said: "Hello beauty, meeting again, I am the sun, you are in my belly. Relax, I won't digest you, I am a dragon who pities fragrance and cherishes jade..."

Chen Yi gave the DVD a heavy elbow, saying: "Sorry, broken car, broken music."

The little lizard was somewhat stunned by the hit, and the Raptor swayed left and right on the road, its two headlights flashing wildly. Passing drivers immediately erupted in a string of curses.

Chen Yi held the steering wheel with a cold face, merged back into the fast lane, and stomped hard on the accelerator.

The little lizard whimpered, not daring to speak, cursing inwardly: Violent maniac, violent maniac...

No matter what, it is a Yaolong; its previous owner was a Mage, and they couldn't cherish it enough.

Behind, a BMW followed up along the slow lane.

This guy probably floored it too; after pulling even with the Pickup Truck, he stuck up his middle finger and shouted: "Kid, don't want to live? Get out and fight one-on-one, I'll beat you to death."

Chen Yi rolled his eyelids, glancing at him.

A full set of casual Suit, a glittering gold Rolex on his wrist, a red string around his neck hanging a green, green jadeite — looking exactly like a jewelry store model.

Seeing Chen Yi ignore him, this guy actually drove the BMW closer, shouting: "Stop, hear me? Otherwise I'll crash into you and kill you..."

Not far ahead was a busy intersection with dense traffic.

Chen Yi turned a thought: rather than stop and get out, risking Liu Xinyu being discovered, he might as well really do as he said, and crash... into him.

So, his steering wheel began to turn left.

The BMW was terrified; both sides were doing at least 60 kilometers per hour, a real collision would show who suffers just by looking at the Pickup Truck's build.

The jewelry man's foot on the accelerator instantly slammed onto the brake; Chen Yi also did not really want to crash him to death, and the two vehicles quickly shifted from side-by-side to front-and-rear in a single file.

The cars behind watched with thrilling excitement; some people, heedless of the danger to their lives, stepped on the accelerator and came up to watch the spectacle.

Unable to win by force, the jewelry man raised his middle finger and said, "Kid, are you really crazy? I've memorized your license plate; we'll meet tomorrow."

Having finished speaking, he took advantage of the intersection and left in a puff of smoke.

No matter how good a sports car, it cannot outweigh a pickup truck.

Liu Xinyu half-reclined in the back seat, lifted her neck, then let it fall again, smiling: "I thought he really could stop you."

"Your man?"

"No."

Chen Yi therefore put it out of mind and drove steadily to the dormitory building, then handed Liu Xinyu a piece of clothing to hide her head and face, and carried her into the elevator.

He opened the door with the key, placed her on the bedroom bed, and said: "Starting today, you will temporarily live here. External liaison work, please leave it to Miss Jin to handle."

"Miss Jin?" Liu Xinyu raised her head alertly, and sure enough saw the Korean beauty standing there timidly, like a baby bok choy in a supermarket.

"No wonder you could make so many demands." Liu Xinyu's eyes were full of anger.

Chen Yi clapped his hands smiling: "Everyone cooperating sincerely from now on would be good, right? Counselor, you still want to keep working at Jiang University, don't you? Starting today, we formally enter the process of solving the Inspector — isn't this precisely what you want?"

Liu Xinyu said nothing.

Chen Yi wasn't annoyed either, smiling: "Jin Douna, help her go bathe; she's been tired for two days."

The Korean beauty timidly supported Liu Xinyu and said: "Miss, I'll take you inside."

"After going missing, you've been living here?" The latter supported her to stand up, eyes scanning the surroundings.

"I dare not go back."

"You don't trust me?" Liu Xinyu twisted her mouth corner, revealing a captivating smile.

Jin Douna grew even more afraid, not daring to make a sound.

Chen Yi watched the two with great interest.

Liu Xinyu was truly furious. Otherwise, given her usual style of conduct, she would never have rashly uttered so many questions.

After saying two sentences, she also understood the situation and spoke no further.

However, walking out of the bedroom and seeing the familiar identity documents piled on the table, Liu Xinyu lost control again and said sarcastically: "It seems, from now on you will have to become me."

"Miss."

"From now on you are my miss." Liu Xinyu recalled her two days and two nights in the warehouse, recalled her years of arduous climbing, recalled her ten-odd years of arduous training, and involuntarily said: "I thought my promotion speed within the Organization was fast enough, but unexpectedly you've blazed a new trail."

Finished speaking, she entered the bathroom herself, didn't undress, turned on the hot water, and amid the shower spray, wept bitterly.

Jin Douna silently sat back at the writing desk.

Chen Yi raised an eyebrow and also turned on the computer ECU to play.

He wasn't worried Liu Xinyu would run away; as a person who had lost her identity, she had nowhere to go. Even for the "Human Development Research Society", an Organization member who had lost their token, whether real or fake, was inherently unqualified.

Now, rather than saying Chen Yi needs her, it's more accurate to say she needs Chen Yi — because she only has utilization value to Chen Yi, and only Chen Yi would pay for the value she possesses.

A simple principle, and Liu Xinyu, calmed in the bathtub, also understood clearly.

"Xiao Na, bring me a bath towel."

Two hours later, Liu Xinyu's call attracted the attention of both people.

Dark-cloud-like long hair hung over her shoulders; two bare little feet stepped on the dark red wooden floor; the big toenail was stained with a touch of red nail polish, revealing a hint of bewitching charm.

Liu Xinyu held her chest, as if nothing had happened, walking out of the bathroom amid thick steam. Only her slightly swollen eyes and moist starry pupils recorded everything that had occurred previously.

She didn't even glance at Jin Douna, passed through the living room, knelt on the bedroom floor cushion, bowed and said: "Let's talk about the Inspector matter."

Chen Yi had long since inspected up, down, left, and right along the opening direction of the bathrobe.
