Chapter 925: Stubborn Woman (4)
As promised, Zhang Ke brought Ling Tianya out of the room. This was the first ti Ling Tianya had left the room ever since she had arrived.
After she left the room, she noticed that there was a long hallway outside that didn’t have any windows, only lights.
The dark-colored walls in combination with the yellow lights were quite strange. Therefore, Ling Tianya could not see what was outside. Although there was a window in her room, she could only see the courtyard. No one ever walked past it. There was only a single large tree and a couple of occasional stray cats.
Originally, Ling Tianya had thought that if she left the room, then she would be able to see what her surroundings were like. However, she was mistaken. Not even the large tree could be seen from the hallway.
There were two n guarding Ling Tianya’s room. They were similar to Mike, tall and sturdy with enormous muscles. They had unique tattoos on their fists and could imdiately be recognized as mbers of the KSI.
Upon seeing Zhang Ke walking out with Ling Tianya, the two n imdiately beca alert.
“The leader wants to see her,” Zhang Ke said quietly.
The two n nodded. Then, they walked forward, with Ling Tianya situated in between them.
Ling Tianya observed their tattoos and then looked at Zhang Ke’s wrist. “Why don’t you have any?”
Zhang Ke was blank. “Don’t have what?”
Ling Tianya pointed to the man’s wrist. “That tattoo.”
“None us hidden chess pieces have tattoos. Because we are often sent on missions outside, this kind of tattoo would expose our identities,” Zhang Ke said grudgingly.
Thinking back, Lawyer Bai also didn’t have a tattoo. He was also a hidden chess piece of the KSI and lived incognito. He used his identity as a lawyer to conceal his real identity.
“Lawyer Bai is also a hidden chess mber of your organization, right?”
“Yes.” Zhang Ke answered truthfully. There wasn’t a need to keep it a secret.
“When Lawyer Bai ended up in Ruan Zeyan’s hand,s why didn’t you guys save him?”
Zhang Ke smiled in a disappointed and flustered way. “The second your identity as a hidden chess piece is revealed, you are no longer useful. The organization won’t waste their resources to save a useless thing.”
Ling Tianya nodded. “So, are you saying that you were successful in concealing yourself?”
Zhang Ke was startled and imdiately stopped talking.
“Lawyer Bai is a lawyer. You are a hypnotist. It seems the mbers of your organization are quite talented. I’m quite curious. Among you hidden chess pieces, what other occupations do you guys have?”
“Does a plastic surgeon count?” Zhang Ke blurted out before realizing that she might be talking too much. For so many years, she had concealed her true identity and had followed Ling Tianya, pretending that she was a simple and carefree woman. Every day, she had feared exposing her identity and therefore, would constantly remind the part of herself that was the hidden spy that she was Zhang Ke. As ti went on, she realized that she and Zhang Ke were now inseparable.
Faced with Ling Tianya’s questions, she subconsciously wanted to answer her and wanted to be praised by Ling Tianya.
The leader had already warned her twice. She knew that if she didn’t return to being Gui i, she would end up like Lawyer Bai.
Seeing that Zhang Ke was no longer speaking, Ling Tianya was sowhat disappointed. Originally, she had wanted to get more information. However, despite Zhang Ke’s initial responses, she had now stopped talking to her.
At this mont, a familiar figure walked over. Ling Tianya was able to recognize at a glance that the man walking over was Mike, the man who had helped Ruan Guosheng surround the mansion and who had saved her from Ruan Guofu and given her the powder.
