"Chun Xiao’s watch..."
Lin Yi murmured.
The na felt sowhat unfamiliar.
It was the sa for the people in Group One.
No one knew who he was talking about.
Suddenly!
A na appeared in Lin Yi’s mind.
It made him freeze completely.
For a mont.
He knew who that person was.
"You guys get off the ship first. I want to talk to him alone."
The people from Group One and Group Two glanced at Lin Yi.
Not quite understanding what he ant.
But those in Group One understood Lin Yi.
When he said this, naturally no one questioned him.
They all disembarked one after another to the other two boats.
The two mbers of Group Two also followed and disembarked.
"Do I need to step aside too?"
"You stay."
"I know you might have discovered sothing, but if it involves secrets, you don’t need to worry about my identity."
"All you need to do is keep it confidential."
"Of course, that’s no problem. It’s a compulsory course for the Central Guards Brigade."
Lin Yi nodded.
Looked at Zhang Jinquan.
"The person you ntioned nad Chun Xiao, should be Lu Chunxiao, right?"
Qiu Yuluo and Zhang Jinquan’s expressions changed.
The other party’s last na was Lu, and Lin Yi’s expression was so cautious.
Qiu Yuluo subconsciously linked this person to Liang Xianghe.
And the reason Zhang Jinquan’s expression changed was because Lin Yi had guessed right about the person.
"You know this person too."
"I know a bit."
Lin Yi replied silently.
"So you agreed to sell the Central Guards Brigade’s information to get back Lu Chunxiao’s watch, right?"
"Yes."
"I heard that all these years, you never got married; the person on your mind should be her, right?"
"Heh..."
Zhang Jinquan laughed bitterly.
"I do miss her, but I’m not worthy of her; she’s too outstanding."
While speaking.
A rare smile appeared on Zhang Jinquan’s face.
Like a boy in love, telling the story of his other half.
"It’s just a pity she left, the world is too lonely without her."
The atmosphere on the ship beca silent.
Lin Yi looked at Zhang Jinquan.
"Why are you so sure this watch belongs to Lu Chunxiao?"
"Back then, we had so contact at work. Once, she asked for my help. Afterward, she gave a watch, saying she bought one for herself too, the one on her wrist."
Zhang Jinquan looked at Lin Yi.
"Look at the back of the watch, there’s a string of numbers. I really like things like seals, I carve them myself sotis. She asked to engrave a line of numbers on it. That string of numbers is her code, so I recognized those numbers. This watch must be hers."
Seeing Zhang Jinquan so determined.
A new doubt arose in Lin Yi’s mind.
Lu Chunxiao died during a mission.
Was the target of the mission Mammon?
Did they take the watch after she died?
But what’s the purpose of doing this?
This watch only has a different aning to Zhang Jinquan.
Even to Liang Xianghe, it wouldn’t elicit such a strong reaction.
So, what’s Mammon planning by keeping this watch?
Lin Yi firmly believed.
There must be sothing he doesn’t know in this.
"I want to know, who is the person you contacted, and who is their leader?"
"The person who contacted is nad Adjo. I don’t know his identity; we just made a deal. If I couldn’t get this watch, I wouldn’t give them all the data."
"How long have you known each other, and when did you start selling information?"
"About three months ago."
Zhang Jinquan said with his head down:
"He approached first. At the ti, I didn’t talk to him, planning to report this to the brigade and have them investigate him."
"Then he took out the watch, and you compromised?"
Zhang Jinquan nodded absentmindedly.
"Did you ever wonder why the watch was with Mammon’s people?"
"I asked, but he didn’t tell . He only asked if I wanted the watch. Of course, I said yes, and then everything else happened."
Zhang Jinquan said:
"But for concealnt, it was led by my father, and I only handled the data."
"You just trust them so easily? Aren’t you afraid they might deceive you?"
"The important data was finalized by ; unless they show the watch, they won’t get the final data."
"I want to et this Adjo. Is there any way for to et him?"
"Sorry, I don’t have that kind of capability."
"I still have so authority in the Central Guards Brigade, and you know my character. If you agree to my request, I can find a public tomb for you, bury you with the watch."
A gleam appeared in Zhang Jinquan’s eyes again.
This offer was too tempting for him.
"Also, there’s probably sothing you don’t know." Lin Yi said:
"You’ve heard about your father’s situation, right?"
Zhang Jinquan’s eyes suddenly turned forlorn.
"I know."
"I can tell you, it was Mammon’s people who made the first move."
"It was them!"
Zhang Jinquan’s face suddenly changed.
His father had died, but he didn’t know why.
Before this, he hadn’t linked it to Mammon’s people.
"I don’t understand why they did this; it exposes them to danger, it’s not worth it."
Lin Yi looked at Zhang Jinquan, "Maybe you can understand."
"I don’t know."
"If you don’t kill yourself, maybe they’ll co to kill you."
"Probably not. I still have so utilitarian value, having stayed with the Central Guards Brigade for so many years."
"So, I hope you can help, as long as you let see this person."
"I can’t give you a definitive answer, I can only try."
"For the rest, let Xiao Bing arrange it. I hope you will cooperate."
"I will, and I hope you keep your word."
"I will."
Zhang Jinquan looked up at Lin Yi.
"Can you return the watch to ?"
Lin Yi shook his head, "Not yet, I need to keep it until this mission ends."
Zhang Jinquan fell silent.
He knew he had no bargaining chips.
"But rest assured, I’m not a good person, but I do keep my word."
"I can trust Team Leader Lin’s character."
"Alright, thank you for your trust."
Lin Yi pressed the communicator, "Group One and Group Two, listen to the order."
"The na Chun Xiao, you all keep it to yourselves; do not ntion it to anyone else, or face the consequences."
"Yes!"
Everyone responded over the intercom.
"Send two people to take Brother Zhang down, let him leave on his own, do not reveal your identities."
"Understood."
Soon, Xiao Bing and Zhang Chaoyue ca and took Zhang Jinquan away.
With him gone, the ship felt much calr.
"Does this person nad Lu Chunxiao have any connection with the old man?" Qiu Yuluo asked.
