The Magnificent Son-in-law
Chapter 1444 - 1444: Kong Xiuming's Superior
When the rescued female Instructor opened her eyes again, she saw a familiar figure shrouded in a black robe.
Tang Yunshu saw her open her eyes and tried to maintain a steady tone, saying, "Awake?"
At this moment, the female Instructor was completely exhausted, the dizziness in her mind hadn't dissipated, but upon hearing this familiar mechanical voice, she gritted her teeth and replied, "Big sister, Gray… Gray Rat, he, he is..."
"An informant, right?"
"You knew all along!" the female Instructor exclaimed in surprise.
Tang Yunshu slowly shook her head, "If I had known all along, I would have removed him long ago, and things wouldn't have gotten to this point."
"Then, how did you find out that Gray Rat was an informant?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Yunshu extended a hand from the robe, holding a small memory card in the palm, clad in a black leather glove.
The female Instructor struggled to sit up, squinting her eyes and taking a long time before she noticed the existence of that memory card.
She frowned and asked, "What is this?"
"Remember I said long ago that there was an informant among us?"
"I remember!"
"Since then, the more I thought about it, the more something felt wrong, especially tonight after you all set off, I felt even more unsettled in my heart.
So, I took a trip to the Demon Suppression Action Team's headquarters..."
In the shocked gaze of the female Instructor, Tang Yunshu gently revealed the information she needed to know.
It was obvious that this approach was actually not in line with her expected plan.
But at this point, making efforts to remedy the situation was the right thing to do.
And the matters Tang Yunshu explained could be summarized into three parts.
The first part: After she arrived at the Demon Suppression Action Team, she caught someone, and under severe interrogation, found out about Gray Rat's identity as an informant.
The second part: After being discovered by the Demon Suppression Action Team, she hurriedly fled, encountered a transport vehicle on the escape route, killed Gray Rat, and incidentally rescued the female Instructor and an elite member.
The third part: This operation was a complete failure, there would be no confrontation with the power of Yanhuang in the short term.
After listening, the female Instructor asked, "Big sister, although Gray Rat is dead, so many of us were captured, there's no guarantee that someone might not keep their mouth shut, and if there is a leak, could it affect us?"
"The Demon Suppression Action Team has the ability to pry open the mouths of our people, that's certain, and there will be follow-up impacts, but it's not a big deal.
Below the Instructor level, they do not grasp core secrets, that should be clear to you."
As she said this, Tang Yunshu let out a long sigh in her heart.
Never mind the Instructor, even being the "Big Sister," how many core secrets can one grasp?
Perhaps, when mastering the core secrets, it would be the time to be killed by the next Big Sister...
Withdrew her thoughts, Tang Yunshu glanced at the female Instructor who was slowly nodding, and said coldly, "When the transport vehicle was there, it was only you and Gray Rat.
I was injured back then, do you know what the most stable course of action would have been?"
The female Instructor was momentarily stunned, a look of confusion appeared in her eyes.
The most stable course of action...
Soon, her delicate body trembled, she hurriedly stood up, then knelt on one knee, "Thank you, Big Sister, for sparing my life!"
Tang Yunshu reached out, helped her up, patted her shoulder, and said nothing more.
The reason she deliberately reprimanded the female Instructor was because she had her own thoughts.
Although she had already reached a cooperation agreement with Xiao Feng, it did not mean she could abandon her clandestine operations in the Devil's Concentration Camp.
On the contrary, it was precisely because of the cooperation with Xiao Feng that there was even more necessity to continue operating a small faction of her own.
At least at this moment, Tang Yunshu felt that Xiao Feng might be trustworthy, but not blindly relied upon.
Establishing a loyal faction of her own not only facilitated the collection of intelligence, but could also serve as a retreat in critical moments.
And the female Instructor in front of her, after this period of observation, Tang Yunshu's evaluation of her was... not very bright.
Or rather, too rigid, without knowing how to adapt.
It just so happened that Tang Yunshu needed this kind of "not too smart" person.
The other party had just been promoted to the position of Instructor, a time when both worldview and treatment were changing, a bit of investigation and perhaps she could be of use.
The investigation would start from this knock.
...
Xiao Feng emerged from the hospital, waited a long time at the entrance before getting a taxi.
Getting in, Xiao Feng instructed to head to Jinyue Garden, then leaned back against the seat, exhaling a long breath.
The core member sent to the hospital for rescue, after emergency treatment, was temporarily not in life-threatening condition, which could be considered fortunate amidst bad luck.
Xiao Feng tried to broaden his perspective, analyzing tonight's events from a macro viewpoint, as an Observer, suddenly feeling a sense of great fortune.
He wasn't someone who particularly believed in luck, yet objectively speaking, if Tang Yunshu hadn't provided intelligence in advance, if there weren't experts like Shao Baxing and Lu Lishuang... cough, not counting Lu Lishuang.
In summary, analyzing carefully, it wasn't hard to notice.
If any of these links had a slip, even though victory was possible tonight, the cost would be at least more than double!
However, just then, the driver sitting in the driver's seat turned his face, suddenly smiling, "I must thank you, Yanhuang."
Xiao Feng was startled, instinctively reaching for his boot, his right hand tightly gripping the hilt of a dagger.
Yet, he heard the driver say, "No need to be nervous, I'm not here to fight, just to express some gratitude."
"Gratitude?" Xiao Feng queried, looking at the rearview mirror, reflecting the driver's face.
He appeared to be about thirty, with distinct facial features, and his skin wasn't coarse, quite a handsome middle-aged man.
"Exactly!" the driver nodded, "Thank you for putting on such a great show, to be honest, several times I almost couldn't resist getting involved myself.
This feeling, I haven't had in a long time..."
Xiao Feng contemplated swiftly, analyzing based on the driver's words, ultimately three words emerged in his mind—Observer.
"What's your relationship with Kong Xiuming?" Xiao Feng asked.
The driver showed little surprise, responding calmly, "We work in the same unit, in terms of rank, I'm his superior."
"So, you're the leader of the Observers?"
"I don't particularly like the title 'leader', sounds like the head of some small-time gang, but 'Observer' is a difficult organization name to give a title to.
Like in a police station, the highest rank can be called a director.
In a police bureau, it can be called a bureau chief.
The Observers... can't just call it 'Head'? "
Xiao Feng thought for a moment, saying, "Just a title, doesn't determine whether you eat."
"That's not wrong, how about you name it?
Preferably something catchy, easy to remember, and impressive."
"Call it 'Grandson'." Xiao Feng said without hesitation, "Everyone calls you 'Grandson' on meeting, definitely unforgettable, instantly memorable."
"Hahahahaha! You do have a sense of humor."
