I Want to Talk to You
After hearing the system voice.
Ye Qingshan felt a chill run through his body.
Death penalty?
"Are you fucking crazy? Why don't you just find another host? Why do you have to come to me?"
Ye Qingshan cursed inwardly, "Is this system out of its mind? Why does it have to target me?"
"The host cannot be changed. Please adjust your mindset and prepare for the next mission."
After the system's slightly weak and cold voice sounded, there was no response no matter how much Ye Qingshan called out.
At this moment, Ye Qingshan truly felt as if he were hundreds of meters below the surface of the ocean, with a sense of impending suffocation.
He simply lay down on the deck, staring blankly at the sky.
The surrounding noise celebrating his victory had no effect on him.
He finally understood what it meant for human joys and sorrows to be different; he only found these people noisy.
"Qingshan, are you alright?"
Just when Ye Qingshan was about to give up, a warm, slightly rough hand was placed on his shoulder.
Ye Qingshan slowly opened his eyes and glanced at it.
I then realized it was Coach A Jie.
For some reason, at that moment, the hatred he felt for A Jie vanished completely.
"It's okay, this failure isn't your fault. First place should have been yours anyway. This was an unexpected event. Even without the gold medal, you're still number one in our hearts."
Coach A Jie gently comforted him.
"Thanks."
A bitter smile appeared on Ye Qingshan's pale face as he murmured, "But what's the point of always being number one in my heart?"
Just like being in the Ye Family, no matter how hard I've worked since I was a child.
Grandpa never paid much attention to me.
After all his pieces were eliminated, Ye Qiu, on whom high hopes were placed, also died at Tang Yu's hands.
He was only just beginning to utilize this piece, which might take decades to become effective.
"Maybe it's meaningless, but what's the point of the word 'meaning' anyway? You just need to be yourself; you don't look right now."
Coach A Jie patted Ye Qingshan on the shoulder and helped him up from the ground.
"Thanks."
Ye Qingshan thanked him again, and his mood improved slightly.
Yes, just focus on doing your own thing.
He felt utterly disheartened because the plan was no longer under his control.
If he had known this would happen, he would have preferred not to have this damned system.
Honestly and practically carrying out the plan is better than living like this now.
After the boat returned to shore, Ye Qingshan jumped onto the beach and stomped hard on the sand.
This feeling of being grounded gave him a strange sense of peace.
He was already mentally prepared.
System task failure seems to be an inescapable fate.
No matter how hard I try, I can't change this outcome.
Since that's the case, then accept it calmly!
What do the men of the Ye Family have to fear from death?
"I laugh as I brandish my sword to the heavens; whether I stay or go, my heart and soul remain with the Kunlun Mountains."
After silently reciting this line of my favorite poem in my heart.
Ye Qingshan then strode towards the hotel.
He decided to take a gamble. Since failing the next mission would mean being wiped out by the system, he might as well give it another shot.
The man I saw on the beach today, my intuition tells me, must be Tang Yu.
Even his own failures might be related to him!
So after returning to the hotel, Ye Qingshan went into the suite and carefully checked it, before finally squatting down under a bed in the side bedroom.
Sure enough, a guard under the bed was looking at him with an embarrassed expression.
After their eyes met, Ye Qingshan remained calm and said, "Come out."
The guard never expected to be discovered by Ye Qingshan.
After crawling out from under the bed, he was just about to come up with an excuse to get away with it when...
Ye Qingshan stood by the window, the midday sun shining on him.
He began his final round of gambling, even judging his opponents at the table based on intuition.
He said in a deep voice, "I want to speak with your department."
The guards stationed by the Qingshan Department looked at Ye Qingshan with somewhat strange expressions.
After hesitating for a moment, knowing he couldn't hide it any longer, he turned on his headset.
"I am Group A, Number 3. Mr. Ye has spotted me and requested to speak with the department."
After receiving this news, several leaders of the Qingshan Department...
One of the managers proactively turned on his headset and said, "Agreed, let him speak to me."
The guard from Group A handed the headset to Ye Qingshan and said, "Our leader has approved it."
"Hello, leaders, I am Ye Qingshan. Thank you for your meticulous care during this time, but I have a difficulty and would like to ask for your help."
Ye Qingshan took the headset, put it on, and made his request.
"What difficulties?"
The leaders of the Qingshan Department were also quite uneasy at this moment.
According to the rules, they shouldn't let Ye Qingshan discover their existence.
But they've already discovered it, what else can they do?
"I suspect someone is a spy sent by the Ugly Country. to assassinate me, and I hope you can investigate his identity."
"Is there any evidence?"
"No, but please believe me this once."
The head of the Qingshan Department didn't suspect anything and asked Ye Qingshan to directly provide the other party's information.
They've been investigating this person who's been lurking in the shadows and causing trouble for a long time.
Because the leads went cold several times.
Their pursuit was forced to stop, and the matter is now unresolved.
After telling everyone about the man he met on the beach that day, Ye Qingshan felt a sense of relief.
He was going to take a huge gamble, betting that this person was Tang Yu, and that his failure was caused by him!
As for Tang Yu's decision to reveal his identity, he was also gambling, gambling that this guy couldn't produce any evidence!
After all, the Huaxia Academy of Sciences has already passed its own test; how could it possibly compare to the quantity of state-owned machines?
After the Qingshan Department gave a positive response.
Based on Ye Qingshan's intelligence, they quickly investigated and found Tang Yu involved.
After discovering that Tang Yu and Jiang Caixia had an ambiguous relationship.
This clue immediately alerted the Qingshan Department.
Isn't Jiang Caixia the key figure in the second mission?
Ye Qingshan's downfall began with her.
After this lead was discovered...
Tang Yu's rules of conduct were also thoroughly investigated.
And it closely matches the clues they had previously investigated!
"There's now at least an 80% chance that he's the one pulling the strings behind the scenes."
After a breakthrough in the investigation.
One of the Qingshan Department was extremely excited.
The mole has finally been caught!
However, upon further investigation, a new problem arose.
Tang Yu's identity is kept under extremely high secrecy?
Even with the authority of the Qingshan Department, it was impossible to conduct an investigation; an application had to be made to the relevant higher-level department.
Fortunately, thanks to the special nature of the Qingshan Department, the application was quickly approved.
The information about Tang Yu was finally presented to them.
The first one is an A-level spy.
For Huaxia's intelligence agencies, training a C-level spy already requires a tremendous amount of effort.
B-level spies are the elite of the elite.
As for A-level spies, their total number in the intelligence department is said to be countable on one hand, making them the aces of aces!
