Chapter 3691: What Do I Need to Do?
Steve brought Robert out of the private room, and Rachel immediately became very enthusiastic, speaking to Lin Wanan in Chinese: "Anna, when are you coming to Stanford? What are you planning to study? If it's convenient, we can add each other on WeChat, and if you have anything at Stanford later, you can come find me!"
Rachel was originally a person who had undergone all kinds of training, especially in socializing, where she was absolutely a master-level expert. Although she didn't know what background Ye Chen and Lin Wanan had, she knew that as long as she could get on good terms with these two people, she would definitely benefit greatly in the future.
And the reason she chose to get close to Lin Wanan was mainly because Ye Chen's outward explanation was that Lin Wanan wanted to come to Stanford to study university, while he himself was Lin Wanan's brother. Rachel had no doubts about this explanation. Once Lin Wanan came to Stanford, if she could become good friends with her first, then here at the Rothschild family, she would have a few more points of advantage.
Seeing Rachel direct her public relations target toward herself, Lin Wanan smiled slightly, looked at Ye Chen, and said: "Whether I come to Stanford or not still depends on what my older brother says."
Lin Wanan knew Ye Chen wanted to directly reveal his hand to Rachel, so she simply steered the topic toward him.
Rachel, unaware of the inside situation, hurriedly and earnestly said to Ye Chen: "Mr. Chen, as long as Anna comes to Stanford, I will do my utmost to help her adapt to this environment as quickly as possible. You can rest assured."
Ye Chen looked at Rachel, let out a light laugh, but said nothing.
Rachel hadn't expected Ye Chen to look at her with a playful expression on his face, and she felt somewhat uneasy inside, still thinking that Ye Chen had seen through her plan to get close to Lin Wanan. She thought that if the other party looked down on her, then her proactive effort to curry favor would indeed be somewhat rash.
At this moment, Ye Chen smiled and said to Rachel: "Miss Getty, although your father's family has somewhat declined now, in America they can at least still rank in the top twenty. The Getty family people probably don't know your scholar identity, do they?"
Ye Chen's words, to Rachel's ears, were like a thunderclap exploding from flat ground beside her ear, instantly startling Rachel into staring wide-eyed and speechless, her face turning deathly pale.
At this moment, her heartbeat sped up so fast it felt like it would burst her chest cavity!
She never even dreamed that the person before her, this Asian young man whom even the Rothschild family heir would need to curry favor with, would actually, the moment he opened his mouth, pierce through her deepest disguise!
This scholar identity, to her, was almost like the vital point where a martial arts master's cultivation is destroyed. The scholar's greatest duty is forever not to infiltrate a certain family or person, or a certain organization or institution, but to always uphold the scholar's secret without exposure. The Anti-Qing Society can allow scholars to be mediocre and unsuccessful, failing to infiltrate any valuable target, in which case at most they would only continually reduce the treatment of this lineage, but it would not reach the point of killing intent.
But once the identity is exposed, even if you have already infiltrated beside the American President, you will instantly lose all value and become the Anti-Qing Society's greatest hidden danger.
For this scholar group, at any time, as long as this identity is exposed, to the Anti-Qing Society it is like a limb infected with tetanus, which will inevitably be completely severed to eliminate future troubles.
Therefore, when Ye Chen uttered these two words, she felt her whole self, along with her family, had already arrived before the gates of the underworld.
She looked at Ye Chen in utter terror, murmuring: "You... you what are you saying... I... I don't understand..."
Ye Chen coldly laughed: "Miss Getty, don't make useless struggles. I know your scholar identity, and I know your mission is to infiltrate the Rothschild family. I must say, you are already very close to success. Once Steve inherits and becomes the Rothschild family heir, Robert's grandfather will immediately become a collateral branch, and Robert will then be able to marry you, who possesses...?"
Even Rachel, who had undergone all kinds of training since childhood, was now trembling like a sieve.
After all, she was merely a twenty-year-old girl.
Having undergone all kinds of training, she could at most achieve fearlessness in the face of life and death.
But what Ye Chen said concerned not just her own life and death, but the life and death of everyone in her maternal line—her mother, her grandmother, and all of that branch.
This has precedents.
Previously, the two scholars who infiltrated the An family, after their identities were exposed, had everyone in the family wiped out by the Anti-Qing Society, not even sparing the children.
Once my identity is exposed, my maternal three generations will also be completely silenced by the Anti-Qing Society!
Rachel's tears instantly welled up and spilled over, her body trembling so violently she could no longer control it. She looked at Ye Chen in utter terror, stammering: "I... I what do I need to do, so that you can give me and my family a way to live?"
Rachel is undoubtedly intelligent.
Although she is terrified to death, her mind is still sharp.
Although she cannot guess Ye Chen's identity, she knows that since Ye Chen chose to expose her face to face, he must have some use for her; otherwise, he could completely avoid meeting her and directly expose her identity to the outside world. Even if he just posted something online, even if the vast majority of onlookers thought he was talking nonsense, the Anti-Qing Society would still find that post and eliminate her entire family in the shortest possible time.
To the Anti-Qing Society, they are no longer a feudal retrogressive organization, but a super transnational conglomerate that has infiltrated every industry, with numerous stations worldwide, vast assets, and numerous members.
The Anti-Qing Society not only has its own dead warriors, its own elite guards, its own Five Armies Commander-in-Chief Office, and various physical industries, but also its own communications satellites and its own cybersecurity team.
Keywords like "Anti-Qing Society," "Wu Feiyan," "scholar," "dead warrior," "elite guard," "Five Armies Commander-in-Chief Office" and similar have always been information the Anti-Qing Society pays extreme attention to. Their cybersecurity team possesses the world's strongest web crawlers, which every day scan the internet across all countries worldwide, retrieving all information, then searching within that information for these highly sensitive keywords. Once discovered, they must inevitably conduct verification and judgment to determine whether the appearance of highly sensitive keywords in the content is coincidental or a leak.
If a novel writes about Wu Feiyan, then basically there is no problem, because after verification, they will take the novel's other keywords together with Wu Feiyan and form a whitelist, such as the novel's title, the novel's male protagonist, etc. Once the crawler retrieves the three characters "Wu Feiyan" simultaneously with the novel's title and male protagonist, it will automatically list this information as harmless and requiring no further verification.
But if a piece of content piles up multiple highly sensitive terms, it will trigger a higher-level response, and the Anti-Qing Society's internet team will handle it immediately.
For example, if Ye Chen now posts on any website, or even just replies under a certain short video: "Anti-Qing Society Wu Feiyan" these six characters, once these two keywords appear together, the Anti-Qing Society people will instantly retrieve it and immediately look for the publisher of this content, dispatch dead warriors or elite guards to seize the person offline for interrogation, and then eliminate all related individuals.
However, if the publisher has the ability to conceal their identity, then the Anti-Qing Society can only stare helplessly.
But if Ye Chen, through a secure channel online, posts an article naming Rachel Getty specifically as a scholar of the Anti-Qing Society, once this information is released, all scholars in Rachel Getty's family will be silenced within a few hours.
