Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

The agents addressed Yin Pan'er, saying, "Our lady, these people were monitoring us before we killed them. We need an explanation."

Yin Pan'er nodded, speaking to them calmly and composedly, "It seems things have really been rather turbulent lately. I've already apprehended quite a few people who were wiretapping me a few days ago. So it wasn't you?"

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, the group said to her, "Agent, what do you mean by this? Do you suspect that we staged this ourselves...?"

Yin Pan'er waved her hand and said, "Of course not, you're not doubting me, are you?"

Some of the more straightforward ones said, "What? Isn't that right?"

Yin Pan'er said, "If I wanted to monitor or eavesdrop on you, I wouldn't let you catch me, and I certainly wouldn't let you catch me."

"Furthermore, I wouldn't use such low-level methods to find out about your situation!"

Yin Pan'er spoke with great calmness and composure.

This made these people start to have doubts.

“We need to be on high alert. I will have patrols increased... However, all of you come and identify yourselves. Does anyone recognize these people? They all have Western faces.”

These people all shook their heads, indicating that they did not recognize the person.

Yin Pan'er said, "Everyone needs to be vigilant. There are bad people within our ranks, so don't be taken advantage of."

"I will send people to investigate all these people thoroughly; I won't let this matter go unresolved..."

Yin Pan'er's words were very firm.

Moreover, there was no hesitation in his words.

This unwavering determination dispelled the doubts of many of them.

Just as everyone was preparing to leave, one of the Illuminati representatives spoke up: "Agent, what's this? You're saying there are bad people among us... What do you mean by that!"

"Are you suspecting us? If so, we really do suspect that you are the one monitoring us. Because you are the one with the most Western guards, and you have the authority to..."

Yin Pan'er listened and smiled, saying, "I won't doubt any of you. I still stand by what I said: I want to monitor you, but I won't let you find out. Of course, I won't do it."

"Gentlemen, let's not let unfounded accusations cloud our judgment. Our goal is to build a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere! To put it bluntly, everything we do is for our own benefit. Internal strife is not in my interest! Is it in yours?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Yin Pan'er said in a cold voice, "That's good. We have a goal. I'm newly appointed, so I can give you some time to adapt. However, my understanding and consideration for you won't last long."

As she spoke, Yin Pan'er pointed at the person who had just questioned her: "If you had said those things to the agent just now, you should have known the consequences, right?"

The representative pointed at by Yin Pan'er looked embarrassed.

"Very well! Now that you know, you'd better not offend me. From the Tokugawa Heiyasu incident, you can see that none of us are irreplaceable. After we die, our families will find replacements immediately..."

"so!"

"Let's do something that's in our best interest! Alright, leave the body here, you can all go."

Yin Pan'er spoke with great confidence.

These people were clearly intimidated by his words and turned to leave.

As Yin Pan'er watched everyone leave, she subconsciously glanced at Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce nodded.

Yin Pan'er continued, "Also, let bygones be bygones. Now that I'm in office, I can go there! Provided you're willing to go. Of course, if you're not willing to go, I have ways to help you."

Yin Pan'er's words were incomprehensible to most people, but a few of them immediately understood them.

Yin Pan'er waved to the crowd, signaling them to leave.

Some of the people looked at Yin Pan'er differently.

This woman is not simple.

After these people left, Yin Pan'er took Xiao Ce back.

He then had his servants check repeatedly to ensure no one was watching, and only after confirming that it was safe did he proceed.

Yin Pan'er, clearly nervous and exhausted, removed her mask and then said to Xiao Ce, "Yi Ce, I didn't show any weakness, did I?"

Xiao Ce was somewhat surprised by Yin Pan'er's relaxed demeanor when facing him.

He thought to himself, "I'm currently using the identity of Okamoto Kazusaku, so the two of us probably aren't that familiar with each other yet."

Xiao Ce began to wonder to himself, could it be that she had discovered something?

But that shouldn't be the case. With the Mad Taoist's reforms, Yin Pan'er shouldn't be able to see his true identity at all.

Xiao Ce's thoughts drifted.

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "Yi Ce, are you alright?"

Hearing Yin Pan'er call out like that, she immediately laughed out loud, then said, "It's nothing...it's nothing..."

Looking at Xiao Ce's expression, Yin Pan'er smiled and continued to ask, "You didn't show any weakness just now, did you?"

Xiao Ce nodded and said to Yin Pan'er, "Of course not, you did a very good job."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er smiled slightly and then said, "Okay...that's good."

Looking at Yin Pan'er, Xiao Ce felt that she seemed somewhat different.

However, I can't pinpoint the exact location.

...

In the following days, at Xiao Ce's suggestion, Yin Pan'er's words still had a deterrent effect.

Xiao Ce didn't necessarily need to find those people; he just needed to get them to give up their divisions and work towards the same goal.

Sure enough, they didn't show up again during the subsequent interrogations.

However, Xiao Ce still discovered that two of them were suspicious.

One is c, and the other is x.

Although these two people seemed to be hiding very well, Xiao Ce still managed to discover them.

After telling Yin Pan'er, Yin Pan'er saw how certain Xiao Ce was.

Are you sure? Won't there be any problems?

Xiao Ce smiled slightly and then said, "Of course there's no problem. Just trust me. You can actually call them over and ask them."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er asked with a look of surprise, "Is this exposing them?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right, but you only need to tell them you won't take any action. Then, those two people who might turn against you will become your most powerful allies..."

After spending some time with Xiao Ce, Yin Pan'er also began to rely on him.

They directly asked Xiao Ce what to say.

After spending these days together, Yin Pan'er must have discovered Xiao Ce's identity, which is why she has this attitude.

Xiao Ce was becoming more and more certain, but he didn't know how to put it.

After all, there's still a thin veil separating us.

And so, the two of them reached a tacit understanding.

Neither of them said anything, and they just stayed together like that.

Xiao Ce then repeated the script to Yin Pan'er, who sat opposite him, resting her chin on her hands and listening intently.

After Xiao Ce finished speaking, Yin Pan'er was interrogated the next day.

The interrogation was actually nearing its end, as these people were largely unaware of these events.

Yin Pan'er spoke to C and X, asking them to come with her.

The two people tensed up immediately after hearing Yin Pan'er's words.

In fact, after being frightened by Yin Pan'er, they did become much more restrained.

They actually changed their minds, after all, they had done that before to deal with the previous agent.

Now that people have changed, they've also changed their minds.

The two of them nervously followed Yin Pan'er back to her residence.

After Yin Pan'er sat down, she said to the two of them, "Sit down."

The two of them were a little reserved.

Yin Pan'er then did something that caught both of them off guard.

That is, they took off their masks, revealing two different people.

“Agent…you…”

Yin Pan'er smiled at the two of them: "What? Are you surprised? We're actually quite familiar with each other, so there's no need to put on a mask."

The two gave an awkward smile and didn't respond.

Yin Pan'er continued, addressing the two of them, "Do you know why I called you two over here?"

The two of them shook their heads.

Yin Pan'er smiled slightly: "Because, I actually knew it was the two of you all along!"

Luckily, they were both wearing masks, otherwise their surprise would have been palpable...

However, neither of them responded.

Yin Pan'er said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you didn't understand what I meant. I don't care what you did before! I just want to say that we need to take care of things here in the future."

"Next, I will have all of Tokugawa Heiyasu's men killed. That way, even if some members of the Tokugawa family are hiding this secret, no one will know it."

“Once and for all!”

Seeing that the two didn't respond, Yin Pan'er said to them, "Alright, that's all. I just wanted to make friends! As you can see, I used to be from the Xiao Kingdom. There's a saying in the Xiao Kingdom: 'Having more friends means having more paths; having more enemies means having more walls to climb.'"

"I won't bring this up again! Let's go."

After listening to Yin Pan'er's words, the two looked at each other, and then they did almost the same thing: they took off their masks.

Two blond, blue-eyed Westerners were revealed: "Okay, agent, we've noted this favor."

The two then bowed to Yin Pan'er and left.

Although they did not admit it, their actions just now were enough to prove it.

After the two people walked away.

Yin Pan'er asked Xiao Ce, "Mr. Yi Ce, are you sure you let them go? They're the ones who killed me!"

After listening to Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Agent, I've already confirmed their identities for you. If you want to eliminate them, that's fine too..."

Yin Pan'er's eyes widened, and then she asked Xiao Ce, "Mr. Yi Ce, what do you mean?"

Xiao Ce smiled and said to Yin Pan'er, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean anything by it. It's just that when I was helping you make the plan, there were two plans. You can let them go, or you can kill them if you want..."

After hearing this, Yin Pan'er was stunned for a moment, then laughed and blurted out, "That does fit your approach."

Xiao Ce was somewhat stunned after hearing Yin Pan'er's words: "Agent, do you know my way of doing things?"

Yin Pan'er smiled and answered smoothly, "Of course, aren't you a cautious person?"

Xiao Ce smiled and nodded: "Then, Agent, how do you plan to deal with them?"

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "Let them go. They weren't here to deal with me before."

Xiao Ce nodded.

Yin Pan'er continued to ask, "Are you really going to kill all the Tokugawa family members? They are all from your Japan, aren't they?"

Xiao Ce smiled. He truly felt no burden whatsoever when killing the people of Fusang.

“I remember you, Agent, said before that you were once a citizen of the Xiao Kingdom. Now that I'm following you, I was also once a citizen of the Fusang Kingdom. Moreover, these people who came here weren't exactly innocent. They were invaders to the people of the Sulu Kingdom, and they all deserved to die…”

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "Then is there still a need for a meeting?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "Of course, this is the tradition of your Illuminati. If they are to die, then let them die openly and honorably. And if you vote to let them live, then say that you will send them back to Fusang. And then let their ships disappear at sea."

Yin Pan'er was clearly stunned after hearing Xiao Ce's words.

She suddenly remembered something: the note from back then, and the ship that exploded at sea.

Yin Pan'er asked Xiao Ce with some curiosity, "Did you write me a note?"

Xiao Ce was completely dumbfounded by Yin Pan'er's abrupt question.

Xiao Ce shook his head subconsciously.

Yin Pan'er then asked, "What about the ship that exploded at sea?"

Xiao Ce was still confused: "What do you mean? I don't understand what you mean, Agent. Can you be more direct?"

When Yin Pan'er asked this question, she kept staring into Xiao Ce's eyes.

As it turned out, Xiao Ce's expression and reaction showed that he truly didn't know.

She shook her head and said, "It's alright! Do you need to go and talk to the people from Fusang?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "That would be best, otherwise, wiping out the entire clan would frighten them somewhat..."

Yin Pan'er nodded: "Okay, I can see that your Okamoto family misses you very much. They've sent your brothers to visit you many times these past few days. There aren't any major problems here anymore, and I can handle things from now on. I'll give you some time to rest!"

"After this period of rest, I'll be busy again."

Seeing Yin Pan'er say this, Xiao Ce asked curiously, "Oh? What happened?"

Yin Pan'er smiled and was about to speak, but after a pause, she continued, "You'll find out when the time comes!"
