Xie Jingchen took his little wife’s reminder before falling asleep very seriously.
The next day, he subtly made it a priority to investigate how many Rongwei soldiers had been injured and returned to the military during the mission period.
In the military, it’s not uncommon to find Rongwei soldiers over 1.8 ters tall. After all, physical attributes are a crucial advantage. It’s only with a tall and robust stature that one can have a better chance of being more powerful than others.
Like him, his height was not the tallest in the military, but compared to his colleagues of the sa rank, his stature was quite formidable.
With a strong physique, one also needs high EQ and IQ, otherwise, you could only be relegated to the role of a brawler.
In any case, one cannot beco a soldier king without both physical strength and intelligence.
With these criteria, based on my wife’s hint, there were only three people who stayed in the military during this period and fit the profile, including my Vice Officer!
During this mission, most of the Rongwei soldiers had various degrees of advancent, except for his Vice Officer, who had impulsively sustained an injury. Thankfully, the mission was completed, and his rits offset his faults, so he was sent back to the military!
Thinking of this, Xie Jingchen suddenly broke out into a cold sweat!
It was his Vice Officer who lured Lin Yingxia into getting injured!
However, when he reported back to the military, he claid Lin Yingxia realized the decoy strategy on her own, which allowed her to retreat.
As for why she was injured half an hour later, and how a few ruffians managed to stab her, a spy, he completely omitted that part.
He only ntioned that after the failed lure, he spotted another target, Fatty, and turned to track him instead.
Now, as he frowned and thought deeply, he realized that Zheng Changqing’s statents had many loopholes. He had trusted this subordinate, who followed him for three years, and hadn’t listened carefully to the ti fra that should have been explained!
After all, while he claid to be tracking Fatty, he was also leading a team to surround Fatty!
Thus, Zheng Changqing avoided discussing the critical ti fra.
It hadn’t seed important before, but now, Xie Jingchen was breaking out into cold sweats all over his body!
After all, it was his little wife, who had been under his protection this whole ti!
Zheng Changqing had climbed the ranks to beco the Vice General based on his exceptional detection and counter-detection abilities. He could use his sense of sll, even keener than a dog’s, to detect the lingering scents in the air, often allowing him to preemptively act and ensure mission success.
At this mont, Xie Jingchen really wanted to go ho to see if his little wife was safe and soundly staying at ho!
When one starts to suspect another, the previously fuzzy sight from their blind spots suddenly becos violently clear, and doubts exist at every turn!
That’s how Xie Jingchen felt now, speculating about Zheng Changqing’s identity with the utmost malice.
However, Zheng Changqing was already involved in the mission, and it was impossible to exclude him at this point. What’s more, for this mission, of the ten special Rongwei soldiers he had chosen, it was unclear if there were any ’spies’ or those with a spy identity!
It seed he needed to find an accident to temporarily prevent Zheng Changqing from participating, or perhaps send him off to another mission?
Xie Jingchen went over all the information again, especially the part that Zheng Changqing was responsible for, about Ding Wangzhong’s files.
If Zheng Changqing is indeed a hidden spy, then, could his direction for to focus the investigation on Ding Wangzhong be a trap?
Could the reason Lin Yingxia was murdered be due to her actions getting in the way of his mission?
The matter Lin Yingxia was investigating lately was none other than Tanning Temple, and that Fatty!
Xie Jingchen’s eyes, sharp as a tiger’s, gazed into the distance profoundly, his thoughts tumbling over each other like mountains. Just as he was pondering how to unobtrusively reassign Zheng Changqing and continue handling the case, Yan Jinchang burst in, panting, and said:
"Boss, there’s new intel. Ding Wangzhong actually infiltrated the Rong dical Departnt, killed Lin Yingxia, and fled the scene!"
"Ding Wangzhong?" Xie Jingchen’s eyes darkened. If he were to guess based on his understanding, this kind of move should be the handiwork of Zheng Changqing!
"Yes, Ding Wangzhong also left the words ’Everyone’s plaything’ on Lin Yingxia’s face before he ran away! When he took off, he even took Lin Aihong hostage!" Yan Jinchang looked at his leader in confusion, but his expression was very calm, not at all frantic, which surprised him greatly.
"Where’s Old Zheng?" Xie Jingchen walked forward slowly and suddenly stopped to ask.
"Brother Zheng? He’s at Lin Xii’s place getting the details." Yan Jinchang replied. He didn’t understand why his leader, with ti to spare, was so leisurely asking questions here.
By the ti Xie Jingchen arrived, Zheng Changqing had already taken Hu Zhengjie to gather information.
"How did Ding Wangzhong enter the military residence, and how did he leave?"
"Boss, Ding Wangzhong entered the military residence as a relative ’visiting a sick person.’ Because Lin Yingxia had virtually no ability to resist, only a nurse would co in to check every two or three hours. By the ti the nurse discovered her, Lin Yingxia had been dead for half an hour. She was suffocated by covering her nostrils, with no signs of struggle on her body, and the words on her face were carved post-mortem."
"How was it realized that Lin Aihong was taken hostage?"
"When Lin Xii woke up, she scread, which brought the nurse and soldiers running. Lin Xii was unconscious for almost two hours."
"How did Ding Wangzhong leave?" Xie Jingchen finally asked, forcing the question out with a stern face.
"Boss, he escaped through the wall near the back mountain of the Rong dical Departnt. Judging from all the traces left, Ding Wangzhong’s actions were all preditated."
"Report, we’ve found traces of a truck leaving from the rear mountain trail." Just then, a Rongwei soldier sent to track the murderer ca in to report.
"Heh, what a cunning mind, from the execution to the retreat thods, this doesn’t seem like sothing a simple countryman could achieve!" Xie Jingchen said coldly, his eyes flitting back and forth between Yan Jinchang and Hu Zhengjie, finally settling on Zheng Changbiao, and he said:
"Vice Officer Zheng, you lead Xu Rongwei to pursue Ding Wangzhong. Make sure to leave and return promptly!"
Zheng Changqing was visibly taken aback for a mont, then nodded as if it were expected, and loudly responded: "Yes, I guarantee to complete the mission!"
Once assured, he directly led his team away.
The rest showed no suspicion. After all, Zheng Changqing’s special talent was being famously known for his exceptional tracking ability.
It has been at least two hours since the incident occurred. Without Zheng Changqing’s skills, tracking would not be so easy!
As Xie Jingchen watched Zheng Changqing leave, however, another doubt arose in his heart: he wanted Zheng Changqing to leave so that his capabilities couldn’t harm his own wife.
But what was Zheng Changqing’s reason for wanting to leave the military residence so urgently?
Don’t think that just because he made a surprised expression on his face, he can fool everyone!
