Chapter 249: 198. Yang Yang’s identity

Logically speaking, if you want to impersonate someone from an organization, it’s best to pose as the most inconspicuous person, as this greatly reduces the chances of being discovered.

So when Uncle Li Dong told Qing Chen, “I need you to stir the waters,” the young man naturally assumed that everyone was being serious, sincere, and proper at the time.

Qing Chen believed that the person his master wanted him to impersonate would certainly be chosen based on this principle, and then a corresponding character would be selected from inside Spade.

But he never expected that his master wasn’t sincere at all.

Nor was he proper.

Who the hell would impersonate the boss of another’s organization just for kicks?!

What’s key is that when Uncle Li Dong, Lin Xiaoxiao, and Ye Wan showed him the video of Xu Linsen, their expressions were so calm.

Even the thick-browed Mother Ye started to swindle people with a poker face?!

Turmoil surged in Qing Chen’s heart, yet his face remained utterly composed.

His icy gaze slowly swept over everyone, and he saw that the over three thousand people in the square averted their eyes as his gaze passed over them.

Almost no one dared to meet his gaze head-on.

Simply by observing the people’s reactions, Qing Chen could roughly guess what level Xu Linsen was at…

At this moment, the storm of metal in the sky was rotating continuously, just as when Guo Huchan had entered, and, to his surprise, they even put on a full performance during the “show.”

All 210 cameras in the prison, at least a third of them were pointed at him, Qing Chen sighed inwardly, he really hadn’t expected that today’s spectacle would turn out to be about him.

The Mechanical Prison Guard by his side released the multiple shackles on his hands and feet, and Guo Huchan approached him and whispered, “Boss, what brings you here?”

The bald man’s eyes were gleaming, clearly skeptical of Qing Chen’s identity, because if Xu Linsen’s entry into Cell Block 18 was a big deal, then as a member of Spades, if the opposite party was unaware, there definitely was a problem.

Although Guo Huchan didn’t know exactly where the problem lay.

Qing Chen took a slow look around, trying to find where his master was hiding, just in case Guo Huchan discovered the truth so he could immediately run towards his master.

The result was that he didn’t see Uncle Li Dong at all.

Qing Chen’s thoughts raced, he suddenly said, “The demonstration we initiated has already begun. If by 7 PM tonight the demonstrators can smoothly reach the Upper Three Districts, then the police and military forces of Cell Block 18 City will all converge there to protect the big shots of the syndicate, and we will no longer need to be shackled.”

Guo Huchan was stunned for a moment before rubbing the back of his head, “Boss, I just thought someone was pretending to be you… Yu and Yu told me, the student demonstration is going smoothly, and with Da Fu leading people inside the crowd, it should go according to our plan.”

Qing Chen inwardly breathed a sigh of relief, outsiders didn’t know that the demonstration was orchestrated by Spade, but because he knew Da Fu and guessed that Da Fu was a Spade Member, he could speak with such certainty.

His mention of “Spade initiating the demonstration” was precisely to corroborate his identity.

But Qing Chen purposefully didn’t mention Da Fu in this sentence because if he directly said it was Da Fu who initiated it, afterward Da Fu could quickly narrow down the “impostor’s” identity.

By this time, Guo Huchan had come to believe in Qing Chen’s identity, because the face was the same, the voice was the same, and he even knew the organization’s secrets – if this wasn’t the real boss, it wouldn’t make sense.

Guo Huchan, stroking his bald head, said, “By the way, boss, Da Fu performed pretty well during the assessment period. I think we can induct her into Spade as a formal member now. There’s just one thing, recently her information feedback hasn’t been very timely. Of course, Yu and Yu said she has been busy initiating the education reform demonstration, so it’s normal for the occasional lack of contact…”

Qing Chen was somewhat surprised, he hadn’t expected that Da Fu was still just an outer member of Spade, not even formal yet.

When Da Fu appeared beside him before, he and Uncle Li Dong had deduced that she belonged to Spades Organization.

But when Uncle Li Dong checked her identity later, he found that she wasn’t listed in inside Spade.

This was a strange thing; Da Fu’s ability type was so rare that even Uncle Li Dong praised it as once in a hundred years. If she truly was a member of Spade, why would she be unknown?

After Qing Chen and Uncle Li Dong did the process of elimination, they firmly believed she was from Spade, so there remained only two possibilities: The first one is that she is one of Spade’s trump cards, hidden from sight. The second is that her time as part of Spade might not have been long.

Now it seemed he had guessed correctly.

Guo Huchan added, “Boss, Da Fu is indeed very capable. People like her shouldn’t keep being assessed. Let’s quickly include her in our Spade.”

Qing Chen said emotionlessly, “Let’s wait and see.”

“Oh, right,” Guo Huchan continued, “Yu and Yu said you planned to head to Fire Pit before the Great Snow seals off the mountains, his information is not very reliable.”

Qing Chen inwardly breathed a sigh of relief, with the boss not nearby, this would be easy…

With an expressionless face, he said, “Today, Cell Block 18 is filled with all sorts of demons and monsters. I was afraid you couldn’t cope with them all inside, so I came in. The matter of Fire Pit can wait, but the opportunity to obtain the Taboo cannot be missed.”

“I see,” Guo Huchan responded with emotion, “you really think of everything, boss. Although Uncle Li Dong isn’t in the prison, recently various powers have planted many people inside, and we in Spade may not necessarily have the advantage. But with you coming in, it’s different. This time, for the Taboo items ACE-002 and 005, let’s get them together!”

Qing Chen thought to himself, the old man is quite ambitious, taking one item isn’t enough to satisfy you, and you want to take two?

He asked calmly, “I was in a hurry on my way here, so tell me about the latest information on these two taboo objects.”

Guo Huchan spoke in a low voice, “I suspect that ACE-005 is the large cat by Uncle Li Dong’s side.”

“Why,” Qing Chen inquired calmly.

“Because that cat never sheds fur, Boss, I’ve observed for a long time, and that cat truly doesn’t shed fur,” Guo Huchan explained, “At the Fire Pit, they also keep many cats, but those shed so much that I feel like I’m having difficulty breathing. Where in the world would you find a cat that doesn’t shed?”

Qing Chen thought this was indeed a blind spot in his knowledge. He couldn’t even afford to feed himself in the past, let alone keep a cat, so he didn’t know normal cats shed so fiercely.

And how rare a cat that doesn’t shed at all, like Da Fu, must be.

After thinking for a moment, Qing Chen said, “Your analysis makes sense, but it’s also possible that Uncle Li Dong is keeping ACE-005 close to him.”

“Impossible,” Guo Huchan said, “Yu and Fish told me that someone saw Uncle Li Dong appear at the Heng Society outside. He had a brief meeting with Li Dongze, and he didn’t bring a cat with him. Oh right, Boss, you said that cats at the Fire Pit shed fur in summer and grow fur in winter, but when do people grow hair?”

Qing Chen glanced at the other’s bald head, “When they’re kids.”

Guo Huchan: “…”

Qing Chen pondered. There was actually a doubt here. Since Xiao Xiao has been confirmed to be a Spade Member, she already knows Uncle Li Dong’s identity and whereabouts.

The Spades wouldn’t need to rely on information like “Uncle Li Dong once went to the Heng Society to meet with Li Dongze” to judge the situation. They could just ask Xiao Xiao directly.

Could it be that Xiao Xiao is really keeping secrets?

That was somewhat unexpected for Qing Chen. She approached Liu Dezhu first and then targeted himself; all just to get more information. But the girl did not inform the Spades after obtaining it.

“How do you see ACE-002?” Qing Chen inquired.

“That can’t be confirmed,” Guo Huchan shook his head, “But I heard something. A prisoner named Qing Chen in prison No. 18 said that he was missing for a while because he was locked in a dark room without any light or sound. But Boss, you know we stole the blueprints of prison No. 18, and the design didn’t include any inhumane ‘dark room’… It might have been an original container meant to hold taboo objects, just like the Contraindicated courts’ containment for ACE-089, a sealed container!”

Guo Huchan, rubbing his shiny bald spot, continued, “The Li Family and the Chen Clan must have noticed this too, so I think they have made two plans. The first plan is to barge through the gates and check if there are any other ‘containers’ nearby, and their second plan is to capture Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan today directly, to force out of them the whereabouts of the taboo objects. By then, we’ll take advantage while they are distracted and, once they’ve revealed clues about the location of the taboo objects, we will just snatch them by force.”

At this point, Qing Chen also understood: this group of people wasn’t sure what ACE-005 and ACE-002 were used for, nor what they actually were.

However, if these people really dared to make a move on Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan, they’d probably all end up dead here today.

However, considering the way the other prisoners avoided eye contact when he scanned the crowd a moment ago, Qing Chen speculated whether those forces would not dare to make their move…

With Spades A arriving in person, wouldn’t the others have doubts in their minds?

No, that’s not right. Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan are well-known; since these people dare to come knowing the two are guarding prison No. 18, they must have a backup plan.

At least a powerful countermeasure capable of dealing with Lin Xiaoxiao and Ye Wan!

After pondering, Qing Chen seriously began to talk of half-truths, “SETTING ASIDE WHETHER ACE-005 is still in the prison or not, as far as I know, Uncle Li Dong can’t take ACE-002 out, and I also have some leads on that.”

Guo Huchan’s expression brightened as he quickly lowered his voice, “Boss, you have leads on ACE-002?”

“Yeah,” Qing Chen responded with the same expressionless face as Xu Linsen in the video, “When the time comes, you’ll work with me, and when they’re not paying attention, we’ll take ACE-002 away.”

Guo Huchan immediately became excited.

After speaking, Qing Chen looked around, observing the environment.

Suddenly, he noticed a problem—he didn’t see any traces of acquaintances as he scanned the surroundings; Liu Dezhu was missing, as were Yu Junyi and Lu Guangyi!

Strange, all the prisoners were here, so why had so many disappeared?

Could it be they were transferred to another prison, or were they all put in solitary confinement? But Uncle Li Dong and Lin Xiaoxiao hadn’t mentioned anything about this before.

Just then, two men in the crowd started walking towards him and Guo Huchan.

Qing Chen could feel Guo Huchan’s whole body tense up, as if a big fight was about to erupt at any moment.

He sighed inwardly; his master must also be watching this place intently by now.

Perhaps even holding some fruit in his hand.

Qing Chen felt life was just too hard for him.
