Protagonist:

Chen Yi

Chen Heng arrived in a hurry via the elevator; upon seeing the hallway full of bloodstains, he was abruptly startled.

Only when he saw Chen Yi did he toss the drinks and water in his hands haphazardly onto the ground, look him up and down inside and out several times, and ask repeatedly, "How are you?"

Zhu Guangliang stepped forward and advised, "Mr. Chen Heng, the situation is already safe now……"

"I'm asking my younger brother." Chen Heng glared.

Zhu Guangliang went off to a corner to draw stick figures by himself, leaving the Chen brothers alone to talk.

The jacketed men finished their job, and soon workers in cleaning uniforms came up, each taking out tools recognizable or not, and began cleaning the hallway, even repainting it.

Chen Yi was the most normal one among the group, because the scene before him was caused by him personally, so his main task was to soothe the people around; only after everyone quieted down did he have time to observe Jin Douna.

The latter felt her hair stand on end under his gaze and had to say, "I'm sorry, I didn't know the girls at the group date had boyfriends; I told them to participate freely."

Chen Yi gave a muffled "Mm."

"Those Europeans have nothing to do with me." Jin Douna stated firmly.

"Mm."

Xiao Yu said cherishingly, "It's fine, it's fine, none of us blame you."

Chen Yi glanced at him and asked, "Still doing the group date then?"

"Date, why not date?" Xiao Yu was unwilling to give up the rare opportunity.

"Next time no one will help." Chen Yi truly had no interest in it anymore.

Xiao Yu pointed at the room behind, looking pitiful, and said, "You can't cross the river and demolish the bridge."

In the spacious yet messy room, the sofa stood propped against the door, student vomit still covered the corridor near the restroom, the TV lay upside down against the door near the balcony, the remote cradled in its arms like a nursing infant.

The room now could no longer be as persuasive as before.

Chen Yi sighed, casually tossed the mop handle aside, and said to the man in the blue cleaning uniform, "Can you help paint the walls pale blue? Or any other light tones would work too."

The several gentlemen silently looked at Zhu Guangliang.

"Detestable aristocratic scion." Zhu Guangliang cursed as he cursed, but nodded at them.

The several gentlemen also nodded, and busied themselves once more.

Chen Yi hurriedly added, "Can the room be tidied up? The seniors helping here look like they can't manage it."

The government "cleaners" looked at Zhu Guangliang with almost magical eyes.

Without doubt, the little man in Zhu Guangliang's heart suffered inhuman abuse.

And the government employees thus turned into painters.

The three female students gave pertinent suggestions.

Before leaving, Zhu Guangliang left a business card each for Han Jie and Chen Yi, and said with a smile, "You can find me for anything; my connections in the government are still quite familiar, Mr. Han Xiao is my former superior."

Han Jie smiled and thanked him. The Han family had two brothers in politics; those who knew them well often addressed them respectively as Mr. Han Da and Mr. Han Xiao.

Chen Yi picked it up and deliberately examined it; the smooth card had a woody feel, comfortable to the touch. The title on it read "Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Information Security Coordination Department, Supervision and Administration Division Deputy Director".

"Quite a long title." he praised.

"Polite, just making a living." Zhu Guangliang beamed; this cover identity was his favorite kind.

Chen Yi continued flipping the card over and over, then, using his overflowing breath mixed with the Listening Scroll's ability, enveloped the other party, and only then said, "Since you said anything, it seems there really is something you can help with……"

"You speak, you speak."

"I heard current fiber optic speeds are very fast. The dormitory seems to still use ADSL, max 512K; can you help install a bigger one?"

Zhu Guangliang's face darkened with lines; he thought and said, "I'll call the local telecom; how big do you want?"

"Can you do 100M?" Chen Yi looked utterly sincere.

"100M……" Zhu Guangliang really wanted to refuse immediately; at current tech levels, 100M is enough for the whole school.

But considering Miss Han was right beside him, he could only grit his teeth and say, "I'll try, can't guarantee."

"Tomorrow work? Class starts soon."

"Okay." Zhu Guangliang agreed on the surface while cursing inwardly: Inch-grabbing little brat, hate aristocratic scions the most…… hate aristocratic scions the most……

What Chen Yi received via the Listening Scroll was all messy information, either "aristocratic scion" or simply chaotic fragments that couldn't even count as conjunctions.

He couldn't help but form an extremely strong impression of Zhu Guangliang's thinking speed.

Chen Rongxi listened to the two's conversation, couldn't help but stare dumbfounded; once the group of suit-jacket cleaning men left the hallway, she immediately pounced on Chen Yi and shouted, "Second Brother you're too amazing, 100M fiber, isn't that 10 times faster than home?"

"Depends on whether that surnamed Zhu is a real pig or fake pig, whether he can pull it off." Chen Yi smiled equally satisfied, then patted Han Jie's shoulder and said, "Must praise them, this is on Mr. Han Xiao's face."

Han Jie trembled at the pat, her face slightly red, but she pretended as if nothing happened.

Chen Heng was older after all; he was there comforting the seniors who came to help — meddling in school affairs, and kind meddling at that, meddling to the point of nearly losing their lives, was indeed something pure children couldn't have imagined.

This matter would probably change their lives forever.

Chen Yi's phone rang "di-ling-ling" again.

He saw it was Tang Xiongfei's call, so he went to the inner room to talk.

Jin Douna quietly exhaled a breath, slightly at a loss.

The situation completely exceeded her and Liu Xinyu's expectations, and completely slipped out of control.

She secretly thought: Could it really be as the young lady said, that only a honey trap can absorb him into the network?

Just as she was thinking, she saw Chen Yi walk out again, smiling and asking, "The seniors all left?"

"All left, who would dare stay here." Jin Douna felt guilty inside and hurriedly answered.

Turning his head, he saw his little sister and Han Jie both busy with the final cleaning and opening the windows to air out the room. Chen Yi's expression gradually turned serious, and in a voice only the two of them could hear, he said: "Who do you work for?"

Jin Douna was startled in her heart, a hint of panic showing in her eyes, and said: "I'm an exchange student, did you forget?"

Chen Yi focused his gaze on her, and the Listening Scroll naturally brought him information: "How do you know."

He sighed silently and asked directly: "What do you plan to do?"

"What, what plan?" Jin Douna's Chinese suddenly became less fluent, her eyes misty with tears beneath her long lashes.

The little beauty looked pitiful and endearing.

However, Chen Yi didn't know if it was real or fake, and he hardened his heart as he said: "I'll give you ten seconds. Tell me one piece of useful information, otherwise... I will kill you."

His tone was learned from the way Kingdom Knights of the Saint Qiao Kingdom speak, carrying a kind of free and wild savagery. In addition, he deliberately used all the abundant Qi he could gather from nearby.

In an instant, immense fear enveloped Jin Douna.

Having witnessed Chen Yi's powerful way of fighting many alone and his cold, ruthless battle style, she somewhat believed that the so-called "killing" was real.

Fortunately, long-term training saved her, and Jin Douna almost used the last bit of strength in her teeth to say: "You won't kill me."

Chen Yi was stunned, then chuckled, saying: "Indeed."

To others, the two seemed to be chatting quite happily.

Jin Douna had no desire to laugh at all.

Chen Yi then continued: "Maybe I can't bring myself to do it, but I will hand you over to Zhu Guangliang from just now. Actually, even if I killed you, I shouldn't feel any guilt, after all, you were the one who sent people to kill me first."

"I didn't want to kill you," Jin Douna said, giving up on clearing herself.

Two minutes was enough for her to figure out that no matter how strong Chen Yi was, he was still a student, and they had quite a history together.

As for Zhu Guangliang—she had seen countless people like him; they would push others into a dead end for power and status, for themselves.

Jin Douna shook her head hard, not even caring that her bangs were messy, deliberately speaking with a sobbing tone: "I can leave, go back to Korea, and never come back."

Chen Yi gently smoothed her hair for her and said softly: "You can't go back. Too many people will stop you, and will they really believe you?"

So, unless you tell me the information.

He continued to envelop Jin Douna with that abundant Qi.

If he wasn't mistaken, this should be what the Holy Qiao People call fighting Qi.

It was just that his body still didn't know how to absorb it; it could only gather around him, to be used and absorbed as needed.

Jin Douna felt as if her whole body was bathed in a cold breath, like being soaked through in winter.

She twisted uneasily, and in a final struggle said: "Tell you the information, what good would that do?"

Chen Yi's hand swept across her tender face, then slowly pinched it, and with a very handsome smile he said: "You tell me the information, and I won't reveal your identity. You can continue to stay at Jiang University as an exchange student, and if necessary, I can even tell you some information you need."

"You want me to be a double agent?"

"How about it, unwilling?" Chen Yi's voice remained soothing.

Jin Douna lowered her head in dejection. For her, after her identity was exposed, this might be the best ending.

If she hadn't seen Chen Yi's skills, hadn't seen Zhu Guangliang, she might have tried to resist with violence. But now, she was still hesitating.

With a "crack" sound, it was Chen Yi crushing the Green Breath Berry.

Jin Douna thought it over repeatedly.

Chen Yi, meanwhile, ate the berries at ease.

After a long time, Jin Douna pretended to be calm as she said: "What kind of information do you want?"

She still wanted to take advantage of Chen Yi's unfamiliarity with the relevant field to make a quick profit.

"Everything you know," Chen Yi replied.

"That won't do. There's no such thing as a double agent like that. If I told you everything..."

Chen Yi immediately interrupted her, saying: "I ask, you answer. Start speaking."

Jin Douna took a deep breath, her bosom rising and falling, then said: "Right here?"

Chen Yi didn't answer, only saying: "What is your mission?"

At the same time, he once again focused his spirit on the Mark/Seal at the Tiger's Mouth, which allowed him to gain more information from listening.

Jin Douna simply said: "Monitor you, test you, and find an opportunity to absorb you into the Organization."

"What Organization?"

The other party hesitated for a moment, then said: "Human Development Research Society."

Chen Yi immediately asked: "Research what?"

"Gather humans with the best genes to develop the best race." Jin Douna paused, then added: "You are considered to have extremely strong development potential. Once you enter the Organization, you will surely get excellent development opportunities."

"It seems you know quite a lot." Chen Yi's mind was in turmoil, but a smile curved his mouth corner as he said: "Who is your superior?"

This was the question a true intelligence agent should prioritize asking.

Jin Douna had long been prepared, and said in a simple, crisp voice: "Liu Xinyu."

"Oh?" Chen Yi was indeed surprised.

Jin Douna didn't wait for him to ask, but said directly: "She is a very strong core figure in the Organization, skilled in long-distance assassination. The Organization's network across half of the Southeast is under her control."

Chen Yi pondered and continued to ask other questions, giving her no time to fabricate.

At the same time, he generously added another Listening Scroll.

As long as enough intelligence was mastered, then Jin Douna, who was equivalent to defecting, naturally had no value in defecting back.

At least not for now.

The army of cleaners brought by Zhu Guangliang had almost finished everything. After Chen Heng checked the safety measures once more, he said: "I must return to the Military Region tonight. A Yi, remember to go learn driving. Leave the Car Key with me for now."

"Okay." Chen Yi was looking out the window and smiled: "I can learn it in two days."

"You need to get a driver's license first. We'll talk about it then." Chen Heng said as he hurriedly left.

Seeing his elder brother was leaving, Han Jie also pulled Chen Rongxi to say goodbye and leave first.

Chen Yi had something on his mind, so he only waved his hand to see them out.

After Chen Rongxi got into the elevator, she teased Han Jie again: "Do you feel sour?"

"What are you talking about, little girl." Han Jie ignored him completely, humming a song as she looked left and right, as if the elevator were some alien product.

Seeing Chen Yi's performance today made her completely relieved, believing that the Chen Family's defeat had not only not harmed him, but might instead be an opportunity for growth.

This thought put Han Jie in a very good mood all day; how could the appearance of a mere Korean little beauty affect her?

Chen Rongxi completely failed to understand the situation, simply attributing it to Second Brother's unlimited charm, her admiration growing deeper.

Jin Douna watched everyone leave one by one, watched Chen Yi close the door, and couldn't help but shrink back, timidly saying: "I've said everything I needed to say, let me leave."

"You're staying here today; I want to prove what you said." Chen Yi said impolitely.

He gave up, opened the bedroom door, and pushed Jin Douna inside.

"Stay here?" Jin Douna looked inside and couldn't help but hesitate again and again.

"Are you going to let you go now?" Chen Yi said, casually turning on the TV and pointing to the narrow small bed in the bedroom: "Do you sleep on the left side or the right side?"

"Can I sleep on the floor?"

"No." Chen Yi pulled a roll of packing tape from the tidy cabinet, gestured twice by the bed, and insisted: "Left side or right side."

"The right side, it's more convenient to watch TV." Jin Douna fluttered her long eyelashes, twisted her waist to come to the bed, and obediently lay down.

Chen Yi used packing tape to wrap her arms around the headboard; to sleep more comfortably, the Korean beauty had to thrust her waist and twist her hips, further revealing her fiery figure.

Chen Yi swallowed his saliva, recalling that friction in her room, and couldn't help but feel hot inside.

"You must not mess around." Jin Douna said with her mouth, but her waist twisted even more frequently. That tight, elastic little waist was extraordinarily tempting.

Aside from word count: everyone is posting extra chapters, the pressure is great. Both chapters today are 4000 words, making up for it.
