"Done!" Xia Ziyu pointed to a blinking red dot on the map. "This is his current location."
Yan Qianyi looked at the map, puzzled, "This map... looks like it’s of Capital Star? And it’s not far from us."
"Yes," Xia Ziyu nodded, "Yun Mu was lying; he didn’t go back to his hotown at all."
Yan Qianyi urged, "Check quickly what this place is."
"Okay." Yun Mu’s fingers tapped on the virtual keyboard again.
They soon found the address and were shocked. "Vice Officer Pei’s house is at this location!"
"Vice Officer Pei?!" Yan Qianyi slightly widened her eyes, "Pei Yuexuan?"
"Yes, his villa is at this location!"
"So, Yun Mu is in Vice Officer Pei’s house?" Yan Qianyi could hardly believe it.
"It appears so on the map, but we need to actually go there to confirm."
Yan Qianyi frowned in thought for a mont. "I’ll go check it out tonight."
Xia Ziyu looked at her slightly swollen belly, "Are you sure you can move around easily now?"
"Absolutely no problem."
She was past the morning sickness of the first few months and had been taking care of her health. Now, apart from feeling a bit heavier, everything was the sa as before.
"Then I’ll go with you tonight!" Xia Ziyu excitedly stood up from the sofa. "I can finally take action with you!"
He had always wanted to join Yan Qianyi in the field in reality.
Every ti before, he had only remotely coordinated with her, which wasn’t as satisfying.
Yan Qianyi said, "With your Combat Power, you better not follow."
"You are pregnant now; it’s better that I’m with you to take care of you."
"Forget it. You’d just hold back."
Xia Ziyu: "..."
"This is decided," Yan Qianyi reminded, "And, don’t tell Chu Hua yet. Let confirm everything tonight. We’ll inform them after I understand the situation."
"Alright," Xia Ziyu deflated and sat back on the sofa.
He really wanted to go. Every ti he watched Yan Qianyi in action through the cara, he felt it was so thrilling and exciting.
He wanted to imrsedly experience it, yet Yan Qianyi wouldn’t give him the chance.
It seed he needed to improve his own Combat Power too, otherwise, he would never get the chance to join her.
Inside Pei Yuexuan’s interrogation room.
After Yun Mu finished a voice call with Yan Qianyi, he closed his eyes. "Do it."
He thought, now that the call was made, his friends shouldn’t worry about him so much anymore, and he could peacefully leave this world.
Seeing Yun Mu’s fearless deanor, Mu Yunlie asked, "Do you have sothing you want to protect? Is that why you would rather die than reveal even a little bit to ?"
Yun Mu pressed his lips together and didn’t answer.
Mu Yunlie continued, "If you tell everything, I can guarantee the safety of what you want to protect."
"There is nothing," he said. "I’ve told you already, I don’t have any clues valuable to you; you’re wasting your ti on ."
Mu Yunlie’s expression darkened.
He had never been so patient with soone before.
He suddenly stood up, stating coldly, "Then it seems, I’ll have to bring Yan Chuhua to question you personally."
At this statent, Yun Mu opened his eyes, a flicker of unease flashing through them.
Mu Yunlie watched him and coldly curved his lips, "Daring to infiltrate my circle, you need to pay a price. You think you can easily escape with death, but it’s not that easy."
Yun Mu opened his mouth, hesitating to speak.
He didn’t want his friends to know about his dishonorable identity and actions.
Chu Hua had once hypnotized him, and she might already know his secrets.
But the others didn’t.
Especially Yan Qianyi.
She had always been kind to him.
He hoped he could maintain a positive image in his friends’ hearts until death, rather than being seen as a spy who disrupted peace...
"You have twenty-four hours to think it over. If you still refuse to talk, I will bring Yan Chuhua to personally question you then. You know very well about her special ability. Don’t rush towards death; once you disclose everything, I will grant you a swift end."
With that, Mu Yunlie turned and walked away.
Yun Mu hurriedly spoke, "Qianyi already treats as a very good friend! If he finds out my identity, knows that you will kill , aren’t you afraid he will be heartbroken?"
Mu Yunlie stopped in his steps, turned, and looked at Yun Mu, "Indeed, he will be heartbroken, but as a soldier, as a husband, he has a deep passion for his country. Once he knows your identity, he will clearly understand how to deal with you correctly, so he won’t resent , rely regret his lack of judgnt."
"Qianyi has been hurt before by Qu Yang and Yan Ruyi; do you want to see her hurt again because she trusted a friend?" Yun Mu’s eyes turned red in anxiety.
He knew how much Yan Qianyi detested betrayal.
And his identity was, without a doubt, a betrayal to his friends.
He truly regarded them as good friends.
But once they knew his identity, they would start doubting the friendship they had before.
He didn’t want that.
Mu Yunlie scoffed coldly, "This is your doing, not mine. She has the right to know what kind of person her friend is. If you haven’t changed your mind within twenty-four hours, I will bring them here to see your pathetic state; I assu that’s not sothing you’d want to face? Think it over well yourselves."
Mu Yunlie then left without further discussion with Yun Mu.
It was clear to him that Yun Mu genuinely regarded Qianyi and the others as friends; he felt guilty inside and did not want to ruin the image they had of him.
"Yun Mu, you’re a smart person; given the current situation, you surely know what the right choice is," Pei Yuexuan advised, and he left as well.
After leaving Pei Yuexuan’s house, Mu Yunlie went back ho.
Yan Qianyi and Xia Ziyu were still in the laboratory.
Ah Chang had already given the ho security system access to Xiao Ke.
When Mu Yunlie walked through the downstairs door, Xiao Ke promptly announced, "Master, the master of the house has returned!"
Yan Qianyi was startled, "Why so soon?"
Xia Ziyu quickly put away his Light Screen.
Yan Qianyi said, "We’ll just say you are unwell, and I am treating you."
Xia Ziyu asked, "Didn’t you say he wouldn’t misunderstand us?"
"I thought he’d not be back so early. Now that it’s just the two of us at ho, with Chu Hua and Xiaoguang out, we need a reason for you staying here, just in case."
Xia Ziyu rolled his eyes, "So I have to play the sick person again."
"Let’s hurry downstairs; don’t blow my cover."
"Don’t worry, playing the sick person has beco an experience for ."
The two left the lab and headed downstairs, happening to et Mu Yunlie coming upstairs.
Pretending she didn’t know Mu Yunlie had returned, Yan Qianyi exclaid with feigned surprise, "Ah Lie, you’re back?"
Mu Yunlie’s gaze swept over Xia Ziyu, "Why is it just the two of you here?"
