Wait, why is this blond guy a lolicon?

Inside the cupboard, Lan Xinlan hadn't slept a wink all night.

On one hand, there was some noise outside, and on the other hand, her intelligence system was being updated.

A flood of intelligence about the Viper Gang and the Black Dragon Group poured in.

She rubbed her aching temples, her fingertips swiping rapidly across the tablet, categorizing and filtering the mixed information, some true and some false.

The cold light from the screen illuminated her focused face.

"This...this is the intelligence that Jiang Ling asked me to keep an eye out for!"

She looked at one of the intelligence reports in surprise, and after confirming its authenticity, she thought to herself:

"I need to tell him quickly..."

■

Jiang Ling carried Mei Yu to the bathroom and they took a shower.

After a while, Li Meiyu slowly came back to her senses in the warm water.

She blinked her long, wet eyelashes, regained her senses, took a deep breath, and snuggled comfortably into his arms.

"Hmph~ You stinky blondie... I don't want to move~ You give me a bath!"

"Make sure to wash everything thoroughly..."

Jiang Ling teased her deliberately, "Hey? Why didn't you wash it for me? Didn't you say you liked me and were willing to do anything for me?"

"Pah~ Who said that!" Li Meiyu pouted in dissatisfaction, kicked him with her little foot, and snorted softly.

"Don't talk nonsense without evidence! I don't like you at all! I don't want to help you bathe or anything like that!! Hurry up, come and serve Lady Miu!"

Jiang Ling took out the recording and pressed the play button with a smile.

Li Meiyu: (◦`~´◦)

The girl's pretty face flushed red at a visible speed, from her cheeks to her ears and then to her neck.

He looked as if he had been steamed alive in an instant, with white smoke of shame and indignation almost rising from his head.

"Oh dear, why is your face so red?" Jiang Ling said with a smile, gently pinching her hot, moist cheek.

"Hmph~ It's definitely a composite... Miyu would never say something like that to you. She knows the basic principles of recording..."

"Really? When Miu lies, she can't look people in the eye."

"I...I wasn't lying!"

"Want to listen to it again?"

"No...don't put it down, you idiot...um...I'll wash it for you..."

I never expected that Li Meiyu would have such a shy moment, getting so embarrassed when she heard her own confession.

Fortunately, I'm already satisfied, otherwise I definitely would have thrown a tantrum.

At this moment, Li Meiyu's fair skin was flushed with a faint pink, and she mumbled:

"You have absolutely no sense of chivalry, you idiot! You big fool!"

But she had no choice but to gently rub his body and help him bathe.

Jiang Ling laughed, "It's turned red and warm, like Peppa Pig!"

"You stinking blondie! How dare you insult Miyu—! Take this kick from Miyu!"

"Okay~~"

……

Exhausted from a whole night's sleep, Li Meiyu lay down on the bed and drifted off to sleep.

Just as Jiang Ling was about to get into bed,

The door to the bedroom wardrobe was gently pushed open a narrow crack.

A slender, white index finger, as delicate as a scallion, timidly peeked out from the crack in the door and carefully beckoned in his direction.

"Come...come here for a second..." Lan Xinlan called him softly, her face flushed.

Jiang Ling: ?

Oh my god, Alan, you look so rosy-cheeked, you haven't been thinking about it too, have you?

Jiang Ling walked over, opened the cabinet door, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Didn't you ask me to investigate...the Viper Gang and the Black Dragon Group?" Alan opened his tablet, handed it to him, and said:

"Let's take a look..."

Jiang Ling was overjoyed and immediately took the tablet.

After all, this is related to whether he can complete the second stage of his mission and whether he can get the Pure Love Fragment x3.

He is not good at intelligence gathering.

So they asked Koizumi Aoyama's official intelligence network and Lan Xinlan's underground intelligence network for help in the search.

Unexpectedly, Lan Xinlan made a crucial discovery so quickly.

Is the information guaranteed to be accurate?

"Don't underestimate Alan's intelligence network!"

"Um?"

After reading all the information, Jiang Ling gasped and instinctively clenched her fists.

A chilling, murderous intent emanated uncontrollably from his eyes, making the air in the small cabinet seem to drop several degrees.

Lan Xinlan was not surprised by this.

When she first saw the full contents of the plan, she felt more shock and chill than anything else.

The dark forces beneath Shilu City are not acting independently, but have quietly united to form a vast and vicious network.

Their five-step plan is well-organized, with clear objectives, and exudes a chilling madness and systematic approach:

Step 1: The Black Dragon Group, in conjunction with Shilu University, deceived students with high-paying jobs and harvested their healthy organs—forming a well-known black organ supplier in the underground world, exclusively supplying the middle and upper classes.

The second step: unite with the Holy Church to widely develop believers in public places such as society and schools, and use the poison of the Viper Gang to make them "voluntarily" donate their property and bodies.

Step 3: Chromium and methylmercury were added to the "Linshan Reservoir" near Shilu, causing widespread heavy metal poisoning and organ failure.

Step 4: Gradually mix toxic organs into healthy organ donors, thus infecting more people...

Step 5: Gradually erode Shilu, completely squeezing out the influence of Daxia, turning the entire city into a haven for criminals, and then gradually eroding Nanri through Shilu, ultimately infiltrating Daxia...

……

After reading the document.

Jiang Ling was angry at first, but a big question mark popped into her head as she got angry.

Putting aside other things.

Just adding something like methylmercury to "mountains, forests, and reservoirs"... is more than just simple corruption and gangster activities.

This is a terrorist attack!!

Why are they so confident in doing this?

"Do you know anything about the Great Xia?" Jiang Ling asked.

"When will we send out the army to show them the Dongfeng Iron Fist? This is no longer an ordinary reactionary force; we need to strike hard."

After all, anti-corruption requires evidence, but counter-terrorism only requires coordinates.

The "Shanlin Reservoir" not only supplies water to Shilu, but also to several nearby cities. In other words, if they succeed, it means that millions of people will suffer from heavy metal poisoning.

Even if the Great Xia Dynasty had weak control over Shilu and the surrounding cities.

We cannot simply sit idly by and wait to die.

This is a large-scale incident that endangers the lives and safety of the people.

They have crossed the line for Great Xia.

"I heard that the [unclear] has already entered Tokyo Bay and is confronting Zumwalt, but... it's just under the guise of a joint South-Japan exercise. The specifics are top secret, and even Alan doesn't know..."

Lan Xinlan made a clean and crisp chopping motion with her hand:

"But Alan speculates that the real operation will likely be a small-scale special operation, such as a 'decapitation'."

"After all, those who truly want to push forward something big are always a minority, like the old space astronaut in 'The Three-Body Problem'..."

In this world, no matter what the issue is, the number of supporters and opponents is much smaller than the number of neutrals, and most neutrals are loyal to whoever wins—that is to say, as long as you can secretly eliminate the key figures of the other faction, you can dominate the progress of an event.

Jiang Ling stroked her chin, feeling a bit troubled, thinking, "If only I had more accurate information."

"Killing is always the most effective way to solve problems."

Even though he now has Lan Xinlan and Koizumi Aoyama as his intelligence network, and fragmented memories of future events in his mind...

However, intelligence remains his weakness.

"Oh right, I remember besides 'Spiderweb,' there's also 'Under the Black Mist,' isn't there?" Jiang Ling asked, recalling the group that required a VR headset to join.

"What is that 'beneath the black mist'?"

"That's... a very secretive 'group.' If you've read 'The Three-Body Problem,' you should know about the ETO organization. 'Under the Black Mist' is like that game in the story..."

Lan Xinlan mentioned The Three-Body Problem again.

"and you……"

"It's no use. Even if I give you my login access, without a specific invitation code, it's just like playing an open-world VR game." Lan Xinlan's words disappointed him.

"Alright then," Jiang Ling sighed, "I'll wander around for the next few days... and see if I can get lucky."

[Opening the Box] It's good, but the information obtained is too scattered.

Moreover, the sources of information are unstable.

Ugh... This is really annoying.

System! When are you going to give me hacking-related superpowers?!

For example, controlling the global internet or something...

"Sigh, it's a pity that their intelligence system is just a subordinate replacement for the National Security Bureau. If only we could get more detailed information from the National Security Bureau."

Lan Xinlan wholeheartedly supports Jiang Ling in killing the evildoers.

After all, if wealthy and powerful people are handed over to the law, it is tantamount to having no just trial—how can the person who makes the rules be "judged" by the just rules he himself created?

They themselves are "justice".

On the contrary, there were acts of justice emerging from the people—for example, someone shot and killed a cult leader who was giving a speech on the street with a homemade pistol.

What makes it all the more satisfying is that this is the true, gratifying, and just trial.

Drizzle~

Just then, his phone beeped with a message notification. He took out his phone and saw that it was a message from Koizumi Aoyama.

Please help me out!

[Help us... kill a few people, just a few key figures.]

Jiang Ling: ? ? ?

666, have I really become Zhang Beihai?
