Lies don't hurt; the truth is the blade that cuts. (continued)

When it comes to Luo Chen, he feels restless if he doesn't make a phone call for a day.

Those who knew him understood he was going undercover; those who didn't might have thought he was on vacation.

"I have already arranged a small team of fifty men in your vicinity."

"But I'm warning you, even though there's no media at this meeting, don't go too far."

"Yes, sir. I guarantee everything is legal and compliant. We will fully cooperate with the Lungmen Guard Department's law enforcement regarding any non-compliant elements."

Despite receiving Luo Chen's confident assurances, Chen Huijie felt that something was about to happen that would drive her crazy.

After hanging up the call with Chen Huijie, Luo Chen tossed his phone into the car.

He put on a fake gold necklace and a fake gold watch, then got off the bus while rubbing two walnuts together.

As Luo Chen entered the conference room with Skullshatterer and Nine, he instantly became the center of attention.

Because this guy was dressed way too arrogantly.

Everyone else was dressed in tattered white clothes, but this guy was wearing a fur coat, a gold necklace, and a gold watch.

He seemed eager for others to know he was a nouveau riche.

The various junior leaders present began to whisper among themselves:

"You just stole a little money, what are you pretending for?"

Are all the gangs in the slums this rich?

"He didn't organize this meeting just to show off, did he?"

Looking down at those guys who were drooling with envy.

Luo Chen proudly raised his chin.

He knew then that everyone in the Rebirth Park hadn't worked in vain.

If it weren't for their tireless work overtime at the sewing machine, where would I get the money to wear gold necklaces and big gold watches?

Even though his watch was fake.

But Ninth Master's sword is real.

Envious? Jealous?

It tastes sour, doesn't it?

That's correct.

This is the day I've been waiting for.

Think carefully about who you should associate with in the future.

Luo Chen unceremoniously sat down at the head of the round table, took off his large gold watch and slammed it on the table, then smiled at his impoverished-looking compatriots:

"I welcome everyone for doing me this favor by attending the first summit of the Lungmen branch of the Reunion Movement."

"Let me introduce myself first. I'm Luo Chen, the boss of this neighborhood."

"You can call me Boss Luo."

Like a dictator, Luo Chen introduced himself without giving the others time to introduce themselves.

We proceeded directly to the next item.

"I believe everyone has seen the meeting agenda. This morning we will be discussing a very serious matter."

"That means we have an undercover agent infiltrated our Reunion Movement."

At this point, Luo Chen clapped his hands.

Skullshatterer pushed out a projector, set up a white cloth, and turned on the machine.

The projector emitted a faint hum, and then a video began to play on the white screen.

All eyes were focused on the screen, curious about what Luo Chen was going to show them.

In the picture...

In a dimly lit interrogation room, an Ursus Infected was strapped to a cold iron chair.

His eyes were closed, and his face was filled with pain and despair.

Shockingly, the prisoner's legs were cruelly riddled with steel nails.

Each steel nail pierced deep into his flesh, twisting and deforming his legs.

His feet were hoisted high, as if he were enduring endless pain and torment.

Immediately afterwards, a man wearing a white, tongue-out, smiling mask appeared on the screen.

His expression was hidden behind the mask, making it impossible to discern his true emotions, but his exposed eyes gleamed with a fanatical light.

He held a small carpenter's hammer in his hand, gently tapping the exposed nails, producing a crisp metallic clanging sound.

The latter immediately let out a painful scream, "Aaaaaah!"

"Heh heh, tell me, who ordered you to slaughter innocent people?" the masked man asked with a sinister grin.

The prisoner trembled, his eyes filled with fear and despair, and then he spoke with difficulty:

"I confess... it was the Ursus Empire that led us into the Reunion Movement."

"Our goal is to smear the Reunion Movement and make it..."

"To become vermin that everyone hates, so that they won't pose a threat to the empire."

"We have comrades within the Reunion Movement, but I don't know who they are... Ahh."

The video then abruptly cut off with a snap.

Luo Chen waved for Skullshatterer to push the projector away, then smiled and looked at all the cadres present:

"After watching this video, are you feeling a bit anxious and uneasy? Where exactly is the Empire's spy?"

Luo Chen's voice was full of doubt and provocation, which made everyone present feel an invisible pressure.

Those who were actually leaders of the Reunion Movement began to feel nervous without realizing it.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads as they involuntarily recalled their tragic experience in Ursus.

They hadn't expected that the Ursus Empire would remain a persistent threat.

I've already run all the way to the Lungmen,

They were even managed to infiltrate the Reunion Movement by Ursus spies.

That damned Ursus emperor, he deserves to have children without an anus!

As for Felix and the other real imperial spies, they showed no sign of tension.

Because they were very certain.

The guy in the video isn't one of their people.

Moreover, their mission is not simply to stigmatize the Reunion Movement.

Everything suggests that Luo Chen deliberately arrested someone and framed them.

Luo Chen's actions, ironically, reassured Felix and the others.

Since the other side doesn't know who the real mole is, they can proceed with their normal plan and get rid of Luo Chen.

Felix gave one of his men a look, and immediately one of them stood up:

"Mr. Luo Chen, why should we believe you?"

"As far as I know, you are neither Infected nor a long-time member of Reunion Movement. You've probably only been infiltrating Reunion Movement for less than a month, right?"

"How can you prove that what you're saying is true, and that the person in the video wasn't coerced into confessing?"

Upon hearing this, the attention of everyone who had just been worried about the Empire's spies was instantly shifted to this.

Yes!

They can't just believe everything Luo Chen says, can they?

Moreover, judging from the man's demeanor in the video, anyone would have said something if they went up there.

Upon hearing this, Luo Chen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.

His smile was full of appreciation and satisfaction, as if he were praising the cadre who dared to raise the question.

He first politely asked the other person's name, and the other person answered without hesitation, "Atli."

Luo Chen nodded, then continued:

"It seems there are intelligent people within our Reunion Movement, and they remain vigilant."

"Atli, that's a good question. It shows that there are people in our organization who always keep a clear head."

"This behavior deserves praise."

"As for the question you raised, there's nothing wrong with telling everyone the truth."

"The main reason is that I'm too kind-hearted."

As soon as Luo Chen finished speaking, the originally serious meeting room was plunged into an uproar.

"Sigh... I'm just too kind-hearted."

Luo Chen repeated his words, but this time his tone was more firm, as if he were explaining an undeniable fact.

However, his words sounded so absurd and unbelievable to others.

The Infected in the video was tortured beyond recognition, his flesh was mangled and bloody, and his legs were pierced by steel nails as he groaned in pain.

The Black Hand behind this scene claims to be kind-hearted?

"You say you have a kind heart?" Atli couldn't help but question, his voice filled with disbelief and sarcasm.

Luo Chen smiled nonchalantly, a smile tinged with helplessness and self-mockery:

"Perhaps you can't understand, but for me, I joined the Reunion Movement because of the kindness and integrity in my heart."

"I'm often mocked for being a 'saint,' but this is a personality trait I was born with, and I can't change it."

He paused, took a deep breath, and said with a pained expression.

"To be honest, I didn't want to be a cadre in the Reunion Movement either, but I couldn't resist everyone's earnest pleas and their clinging to my coattails to keep me."

"But I just can't bear to leave those innocent Infected..."

"As you've all seen, I've been feeding them the finest food and providing them with protective gear that you couldn't afford even if you sold your lives."

Do you know what their lives were like before I came?

"They were exactly like you are now, even worse off. They followed a useless leader and scavenged for garbage in the sewers."

"That's garbage! How can a person eat it? They're already sick; eating it will only make them sicker. It's so pitiful."

"When they saw their compatriots being harmed by bad people, they could only stand by helplessly in a fit of rage, lamenting the injustice of the world."

"I just happened to be passing by, and I was really frightened by their pitiful appearance."

"I really can't understand how such a poor organization could exist in this land."

As Luo Chen said this, he deliberately glanced at Lermontov sitting in Felix's seat.

The latter blushed, clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force.

His fingernails dug deep into his flesh, but he was completely unaware of it.

Because he is now suffering from a heart attack, the pain has already surpassed the pain in his hand.

As for the other Reunion Movement cadres present, although they did not have as tragic an experience as Lermontov.

However, they were also broken down by Luo Chen's extremely insulting truths.

So what if we're poor and we collect garbage?

Do you know how difficult it is for Infected -19 to survive in slums?
