Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic Woman Uses Her Stunning Beauty to Complete Missions
Chapter 75 The Drama Queen Sister in the Rebirth Era (30)
However, that's all well and good, rescuing Li Jingze is no simple matter. The forces involved are complex and intertwined; a single misstep could lead to total defeat.
Moreover, if she were discovered, it would implicate the Shen family and bring them to ruin, which is why she has been reluctant to take action.
Fortunately, Shen Chumo has a god's-eye view, which is her greatest advantage. She can use this advantage to avoid some unnecessary trouble.
After tidying up, Shen Chumo prepared to go out. The matter was urgent, and the most important thing now was to prevent Li Jingze from being arrested, otherwise even a god couldn't save him.
The night was as dark as ink, so thick it seemed impossible to see through. Li Jingze carefully wrapped the evidence, gently placed it in his arms, and then moved through the dark alley like a ghost.
His sharp eyes swept across every intersection, not missing a single potential threat. His movements were light and agile, his footsteps making no sound, as if he had become one with the night.
Darkness enveloped the narrow alley, creating a sense of oppression and unease. The air was damp, moss covered the walls, and the ground was wet, making it easy to slip and fall.
Li Jingze carefully avoided these traps, taking each step with great caution.
Suddenly, a faint sound of footsteps and whispers came from not far away. Li Jingze instantly became alert. He quickly slipped away and hid in a corner, pressing his body tightly against the wall to minimize his presence.
The guards slowly approached, their flashlights illuminating the road ahead.
Their figures appeared exceptionally tall in the darkness, giving off a sense of oppression. Li Jingze controlled his breathing, ready to strike at any moment.
Fortunately, the guards did not notice Li Jingze's presence. They continued walking forward, their footsteps gradually fading into the night.
Li Jingze breathed a sigh of relief, but remained vigilant. He knew this safety was only temporary.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, making the window next to him creak. Li Jingze instinctively stopped and looked around warily. However, in that instant, a beam of flashlight swept in from a distance and shone directly on him.
Li Jingze frowned and immediately turned to flee, but it was too late.
Several guards rushed towards him, shouting, "Stop! Don't run!"
Li Jingze gritted his teeth and took off running, but the guards gave chase. He dodged and weaved through the narrow alleys, trying to shake them off, but the guards were familiar with the area and kept their distance.
Just as Li Jingze was about to be caught up, a figure appeared from the side; it was Shen Chumo.
She rushed to Li Jingze's side, grabbed him, and said in a deep voice, "Come with me!" Shen Chumo led Li Jingze into a more secluded alley, then opened the trunk of a car, climbed in, and pulled Li Jingze in as well.
The guards tracked him down to this place but lost track of Li Jingze. They searched everywhere but found nothing.
In the dimly lit and cramped trunk, Li Jingze and Shen Chumo leaned against each other, barely daring to breathe. The faint fragrance of orchids emanating from Shen Chumo filled Li Jingze's nostrils, and he instantly felt a surge of heat throughout his body.
After confirming that the guards had all left, Shen Chumo opened the trunk, jumped out, and dusted off her hands. "Let's go, it's still not safe here."
Li Jingze was filled with doubts, but he knew that now was not the time to speak. He silently followed Shen Chumo to a safe place before asking, "Shen Chumo, what are you doing here?"
"I just happened to be passing by."
Li Jingze: "...Do you think I believe you?"
Shen Chumo coughed lightly, feeling slightly embarrassed. She knew that this kind of reason could only appease a child.
Shen Chumo tilted her head slightly, looked calmly at Li Jingze, and said solemnly, "If you want to save people, investigate Wu Leiming."
Li Jingze's expression changed for a moment, "That person was you?"
Shen Chumo nodded, "We're on the same side, so you don't need to worry that I'll harm you."
Li Jingze felt his mind becoming increasingly confused. He knew that Shen Chumo had always lived in Pinggang Village, and her only connection to the capital was her marriage agreement with the Huo family. So why was Shen Chumo involved in this matter?
Shen Chumo could tell what Li Jingze was thinking just by looking at his expression, so she recited the lines she had already prepared.
"Li Jingze, let me formally introduce myself. I belong to the Special Service Department of the State Secret Agency, codename Youye."
"I was specifically sent by my superiors to investigate Li Jinpeng's treason case. There are too many people involved, and my identity cannot be exposed. I can only assist you from the shadows."
Li Jingze knew that there was indeed a secret national agency called the Special Service Department, which was full of specially recruited talents. They all possessed unique skills and worked in various industries. On the surface, they looked like ordinary people, but in reality, they were working for the country.
Li Jingze hesitated. Could what Shen Chumo said be true? Otherwise, how could she know about the Special Service Department and Wu Leiming?
Shen Chumo knew this from the original novel, and that Youye was a real person. In this emergency, Shen Chumo had no choice but to borrow her name.
Li Jingze frowned and said, "Since the country has already suspected that my father's treason is false, why not clear my father's name?"
"Firstly, because there is no evidence, and secondly, to avoid alerting the enemy. Huo Fei and his associates hold high positions, yet they want to frame Li Jinpeng. Is someone behind them, or is there another traitor? These are all uncertain, so this matter can only be investigated in secret," Shen Chumo explained.
Li Jingze felt increasingly heavy-hearted.
Shen Chumo continued, "According to the mission guidelines, I shouldn't have met you, but the situation tonight is urgent. If I hadn't come, you would have already fallen into Huo Fei's hands. Although you only brought fake evidence and the real notebook was hidden elsewhere, they would have found it soon."
Li Jingze's expression turned serious. Shen Chumo actually knew that the evidence he had was fake, which lessened his suspicion of Shen Chumo a little.
Li Jingze lowered his eyes and said, "But my father is seriously ill. It's possible that Huo Fei and his men did it. I can't wait any longer."
"fake."
what?
"The story about your father's serious illness is a lie; it's just a bait to lure you in. They've already put people under surveillance for all the people you're looking for. If you go out, you'll definitely be arrested."
Li Jingze clenched his fists and, as if oblivious to the pain, slammed them hard against the stone wall, snarling, "Wu Leiming! Huo Fei! They won't stop until they've driven us to our deaths."
Looking at Li Jingze's grief-stricken expression, Shen Chumo sighed softly. "Now is not the time to act impulsively. We must calm down and think of a way to deal with their conspiracy."
Li Jingze took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. "So what should we do now? They've blocked all our paths, and I don't know who to trust anymore."
