Princess Lily Arrives
Chapter 316: IQ crush or EQ counterattack?
Guan Lili looked at the documents in her hand, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. She thought she was just an ordinary worker in the workplace. Who would have thought that she would be involved in a "live-action script-killing" involving mysterious abilities, secret organizations and complex conspiracies? Now she is not only a chess piece on the chessboard, but also the key to determining the direction of the game.
"What do you think?" The mysterious woman spoke calmly, her tone neither hurried nor slow, as if everything was under control.
"What if I say I don't want to join?" Lily glanced at her, determined to break the other party's psychological advantage.
The woman smiled slightly, as if she had expected Lily to ask this question: "If you don't join, this game will continue, but you can only deal with it passively; if you join, you may be able to become the one who dominates the situation."
"It sounds like a threat, but also like a temptation." Lily laughed at herself, "Unfortunately, I'm a greedy person. I want to be in control of the situation, but I don't want to be used by anyone."
As soon as these words came out, He Shaoyan immediately applauded: "Excellent! This is just like our Guan Lili. A smart person should know how to take advantage of opportunities and profit from them without taking sides."
The mysterious woman glanced at He Shaoyan with a hint of sarcasm: "You are quite optimistic. Aren't you afraid that you will be fooled by yourself in the end?"
He Shaoyan shrugged: "It's a risky move. Anyway, I like to do things that don't follow the rules."
Lily took a deep breath and felt that the two were simply two "actors" competing with each other in wits and courage. But at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and everyone immediately became alert.
"Who?" the mysterious woman asked sternly.
A deep voice came from outside the door: "The takeaway has arrived."
Lily couldn't help laughing: "You guys made such a big scene, but you didn't forget to order takeout?"
A hint of helplessness flashed across the woman's eyes. It was obvious that this situation was beyond her expectations. She walked over to open the door, and sure enough, there stood a young man carrying takeaway food. He looked ordinary, but Lily keenly sensed that there was some kind of dangerous aura hidden in him.
The young man handed the takeaway to the woman and said with a smile, "It's dinner time for everyone. Don't be so busy that you forget to eat." As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly took out a small device from his pocket and pressed a button. In an instant, a strong feeling of dizziness came over Lily. She felt a black screen in front of her eyes and her body fell backwards uncontrollably.
When she woke up again, she found herself in a strange room, surrounded by the cold light of high-tech equipment. It was obviously not an ordinary place. What was even more strange was that besides her, there was also the "takeaway boy" in the room.
"Finally woke up?" The delivery boy took off his hat, revealing a young but sharp face, "Are you curious about who I am?"
Lily propped herself up and looked at him warily: "I don't care who you are, I just want to know why you brought me here?"
The delivery boy smiled, with a hint of cynicism in his smile: "I don't intend to hurt you, I just want to make a deal with you."
"Deal?" Lily raised an eyebrow. "The only deal I'm interested in right now is if you take me home."
“Haha, it’s really interesting.” The delivery boy laughed even more. “But you might be disappointed. My condition is that if you do me a favor, I will guarantee that you will get out of this storm unscathed, and you may even get a good reward.”
"Why do you think I will believe you?" Lily said coldly.
The young man spread his hands and made an innocent expression: "You don't really have much choice. Now, all forces are vying for you as a 'chess piece'. Instead of passively accepting it, it's better to take the initiative to choose a side. And I happen to be a relatively 'free' option."
Lily fell into deep thought. This delivery boy seemed to have another identity, and judging from his skilled methods and layout, he was definitely not an ordinary person. Who was behind him, and why did he insist on her involvement?
Seeing Lily hesitate, the young man continued to persuade her: "I know you are always smart and good at seeing through the situation. Now is a good time for you to make a comeback. As long as you are willing to help me, I can help you become a real 'protagonist' instead of a tool."
"How can I help you?" Lily asked.
The young man smiled slyly and said, "I need you to obtain some important data, and this data is hidden in the headquarters of the 'Shadow Organization'. With your identity, they won't be suspicious, and I need you to bring it out for me."
Lily's heart was beating fast when she heard this. It was obvious that he wanted her to be a spy! But if she didn't agree, this guy would obviously not let her go easily.
"It sounds like you're pushing all the risks onto me?" Lily asked back calmly.
"Risks and benefits coexist, don't they?" The young man disagreed. "Besides, you are not without a way out. As long as you succeed, the 'Shadow Organization' will no longer be able to put pressure on you, and I can help you completely get rid of this mess."
Lily knew she had been pushed to the edge of a cliff. No matter which path she chose, she would be dancing on the edge of a knife. But she suddenly had an idea and decided to take the initiative: "Okay, I promise you. But if something goes wrong, you have to make sure I retreat safely."
The young man nodded with satisfaction: "Deal." He handed Lily a map and action plan, "This is what you need to do. Remember, you must hit the target with one strike, and never expose yourself."
Lily cursed inwardly, "What a rip-off," but still took the map and studied it carefully. She knew that this adventure tonight would be a watershed in her fate.
After the young man left, Lily leaned back in her chair, her mind spinning rapidly. She realized that she not only had to complete the task, but also had to take the opportunity to find her own breakthrough, and she must not let herself become someone's tool.
As the night deepened, Lily quietly sneaked into the base of the "Shadow Organization". The security here was strict, but with her extraordinary wit and the help of the mysterious ring, she successfully avoided the heavy surveillance and successfully entered the target location.
When she got the data, a strange feeling emerged in her heart: she seemed to be moving step by step towards an unknown truth, and this truth might completely overturn her cognition.
Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly felt a chill on her back. She turned around and found the mysterious woman standing in front of her with a sharp gaze.
"Do you think you can escape?" The woman's voice was as cold as ice.
Lily forced herself to remain calm, tightly grasped the data in her hand, and sneered, "Since I'm here, I won't return empty-handed. You want to stop me? Just try!"
There is no turning back in this game. Lily knows in her heart that every next step will determine her fate - whether she will become a complete "counter-attacker" or be drawn into an endless abyss.
