This person... their strength is unfathomable—currently they are far from their strongest state.
What’s more, Sui Yi suspects her position is even higher than that of the three Yue Beiqings.
Commander-in-chief?
Sui Yi no longer pondered, only frowned, "Telling you is useless, they will force to take a second path, and this path is clearly different from yours."
This made Pu Qinghan sowhat puzzled, for although she was very intelligent, she might not understand these political and national affairs.
But Sui Yi understood, so from the beginning she knew she was not facing an enemy like ID, but also... officials represented by people like Yue Beiqing and Yi Chilian.
The situation changed, friends beca foes.
——If the officials chose to sacrifice Gong Jiu and Pu Qinghan and Su Zimu for the sake of the weapon...
Don’t doubt this possibility, in fact, there’s no need to doubt it.
Ming Lanyuan stated with this one sentence: "Gong Jiu is safe and sound, and I’ve also helped rescue this Miss Pu for you... What else are you worried about~~ Furthermore, cooperating with us is greatly beneficial for you, you know this very well."
Pu Qinghan understood.
It was a trade between the officials and Sui Yi.
——I ensure the safety of your people, but in return for the cooperation, you share with us the information we want to know...
"It seems you’ve forgotten soone,"
"Su Zimu? I recall that you are not particularly close to her... You’ve t no more than three tis, right? Is it that a al at the Su Family has made you consider her a close friend? I even personally baked cookies for you~" Ming Lanyuan’s words were always casual and relaxed, yet they contained a lot of information and attitude...
She had ulterior motives for everything—ever since she saw Sui Yi for the first ti in the villa.
She had already marked Sui Yi as an important elent in this incident.
Such terrifying competence, such a terrifying scher.
Pu Qinghan felt even more that being a spy was simply courting death...
"I promised,"
"What?"
"Her life was entrusted to ; I promised, and that is a commitnt."
It wasn’t because of who she was, nor how powerful or evil the people wanting to harm her were, but simply because that was my promise.
Nothing more.
The conversation between Sui Yi and Ming Lanyuan wasn’t face-to-face, as they, the three of them, swiftly left the underground cells with Sui Yi speaking and walking towards the exit, their attitudes on not wanting to waste ti were very consistent.
But as they walked and talked, Sui Yi’s calm sentence made Ming Lanyuan pause in her steps, then catch up, "But how can you be so sure she would be in trouble? Her status is no small matter, we might not abandon her... And just so you know, she’s my cousin, I won’t stand by and do nothing,"
"That’s not important,"
Ming Lanyuan raised an eyebrow.
"The data she knows... I fear it has long been reported to your superiors—I believe with her intelligence, she would not fail to realize the great danger within this villa, and due to her relation to you, she could guess the peril of this situation, so before coming here, she would have already handed over the data in advance to people in your organization... Thereby, your people would have a deep understanding of the weapons..."
At this point, Su Zimu had deceived all three of them, making them believe she indeed had official protection. In reality, by handing over that data, she had already lost a protective ace up her sleeve, thus at any ti she might be sacrificed for the nation—because she wouldn’t hand over the sa data to ID.
This was the character Su Zimu revealed early on to Sui Yi.
And it was one of the reasons why she wanted to rescue this girl.
——Moreover, there must be other reasons behind the request for her participation.
Ming Lanyuan’s face subtly changed, Pu Qinghan was acting, and she suddenly realized that what Sui Yi said was sowhat a psychological attack, at least in that mont, there was a fleeting look of surprise and gloom...
At this mont, they just arrived at the staircase leading up from the well.
Ming Lanyuan stopped, "So, Miss Sui, are you blaming for heartlessly sacrificing my own cousin?"
Sui Yi turned to look at her: "There’s no need to be so sure about things that haven’t happened yet, and besides, what happens between you two that is consensual is not for to judge..."
After speaking, she climbed the stairs, with Pu Qinghan behind her, and Ming Lanyuan following...
Once they reached the top of the well, Pu Qinghan could finally breathe fresh air, Ming Lanyuan scanned the surroundings, flipped her long hair, and spoke lightly, "But indeed, as you said, because I am here, Yi Chilian and the others won’t waste their forces on a rescue, because they are confident that ultimately ID will obtain the location of the weapon, and take away those few people who can’t be killed... From the standpoint of cold-blooded ruthlessness, we certainly qualify,"
