After revealing each other’s identities, the four of them sat around the table.
Nan Yan didn’t keep anything from Shen Junqing and Bai Chen anymore. She explained how Bai Chen had used the cover of Merck Biotech Company to infiltrate the Seven Deadly Sins organization to help her.
“Now, Bai Chen and Third Brother have been detected by the Seven Deadly Sins members and are under confinement. For their safety, we must rescue them as soon as possible.”
Zui Gui contemplated for a moment and asked, “Bai Chen didn’t go in with his original face, did he?”
Unlike him and Shen Junqing, whose real appearances were already known to the outside world due to frequent public appearances, Bai Chen preferred to keep a low profile and hide his true self. Over the years, he had been captured on camera only once, and that footage was promptly deleted when discovered. However, it had still been leaked, and some people had seen his true face.
Zui Gui understood that being cautious was essential.
“As a matter of fact, they both underwent disguises when they joined the Seven Deadly Sins.”
“That’s good then. As long as his true identity remains concealed, he should be safer.’
After all, the four managers of the Dark Realm were all on the wanted list, and many individuals had put up substantial rewards for their lives. Hence, Bai Chen never showed his original face when out and about.
“That’s a relief.” Shen Junqing and Zui Gui felt slightly more at ease.
“Yanyan, just tell us your plan directly.”
They trusted that Nan Yan had thoroughly thought through her course of action since she had come to them.
“I’ll utilize the Dark Realm’s abilities to make the Seven Deadly Sins come to you willingly. Meanwhile, I will sneak into the Seven Deadly Sins organization and extract Bai Chen and the others.”
M Country had been too calm for too long, and it needed some chaos to stir things up. Only by disrupting the peaceful waters could the Seven Deadly Sins be forced to reveal themselves.
Nan Yan didn’t know who was behind the Seven Deadly Sins, but someone who could remain hidden and develop their organization for so long would undoubtedly seize any opportunity presented to them.
Stirring up the waters would provide him with many advantages, allowing him to conduct his less savory activities more conveniently.
After hearing Nan Yan’s plan, Li Yuan nodded, “Alright.”
Qin Lu cleared his throat and drew their attention, “Yanyan, this matter would be easier for me to handle. My influence in M Country is more substantial than it is here.”
“Indeed,” agreed Li Yuan, “Mr. Qin is better suited for this task.”
“Then let’s work together to completely disrupt the situation,” Nan Yan proposed calmly.
She intended to take advantage of the fact that the Seven Deadly Sins hadn’t yet become a major threat and didn’t have the capability to threaten the world. She wanted to strangle them in their infancy.
If they were allowed to continue developing unchecked, and if one day they managed to create drugs that could alter human genes, it would be much harder to eliminate them.
“That’s a good plan, and it offers more security,” Li Yuan and Zui Gui agreed. The four of them then began discussing the plan.
Afterward, Nan Yan, concerned about Bai Chen and Shen Junqing’s safety, left the cafe and first went to find Markus.
As for Qin Lu, he had agreed to Nan Yan’s plan to disrupt the balance in M Country and handle certain matters personally. Some things couldn’t be left to subordinates; they required his direct intervention.
So, the two of them temporarily split up.
Merck Biotech Company.
Nan Yan contacted Markus after entering the company.
“Alice, why have you come back again?” Markus was quite surprised to receive Nan Yan’s call.
Of course, his question didn’t stem from any reluctance to see her; quite the opposite, he would have been delighted if Nan Yan stayed.
“I have some matters to attend to, Markus. I’ll need to stay here for a few days.” She wouldn’t leave until she had rescued Bai Chen and Shen Junqing.
Markus led her to sit on the sofa and said earnestly, “This place is yours, you can stay as long as you want.”
Merck Biotech Company belonged to Nan Yan, and Markus was just responsible for managing it. Nan Yan had even designated him as the legal representative to avoid unnecessary complications. However, in Markus’s heart, Nan Yan was the true owner, and he was simply looking after what belonged to her.
“Sis, would you like a soft drink or soda? I don’t have tea or plain water here.”
Markus was younger than Nan Yan, and occasionally he would affectionately call her “sis.” Even though Nan Yan appeared several years younger than him, he didn’t feel any discomfort using the term.
“I’ll have a soda.”
“Sure.”
Markus retrieved a bottle of cola and a bottle of soda from the refrigerator and handed the soda to Nan Yan.
Nan Yan accepted the soda Markus handed her, opened the bottle cap, took a sip, and then asked softly, “Have you been contacted by the Seven Deadly Sins recently?”
Markus shook his head. “No, ever since Mr. Bai and Mr. Shen assumed my identity and had contact with them, I haven’t had any interaction with them.”
“What happened? Is it related to the Seven Deadly Sins again?”
“Nothing significant. It’s better that you’re not involved,” Markus replied. Otherwise, she would have one more person to worry about.
Right now, she needed to find a way to contact Bai Chen and find out about his situation.
Seven Deadly Sins Headquarters.
The situation was not looking good for Bai Chen and Shen Junqing.
Two distinguished guests had turned into prisoners and were currently being mistreated…
Two high-profile individuals ending up like this would be quite laughable if it were known to the public.
“How do you think they discovered something was amiss with us?” Shen Junqing, covered in injuries, seemed indifferent as he leaned against the wall, still nonchalant.
To think that he, the Lone Wolf, who had spent so many years calculating and planning, thriving outside, would end up in this gutter was truly unexpected.
He had never imagined that despite his cunning and years of experience, he would encounter a setback in this hidden trap.
Bai Chen also had wounds on his body, and his outerwear was almost entirely dyed red with blood.
Suppressing his injuries, he replied expressionlessly, “I suspect it’s because of me.”
Shen Junqing was taken aback and asked somewhat perplexed, “What did you
Bai Chen let out a slow breath and closed his eyes briefly before calmly saying, “Let’s not talk about it. These walls have ears.”
There were surveillance cameras in this room.
Every move they made and every conversation they had were being watched closely.
He should have guessed that the Seven Deadly Sins, with their skilled computer expert, would pay attention to him.
Fortunately, he was cautious and left no traces. Even if they suspected that they had a purpose here, they wouldn’t guess that he had already copied all of the Seven Deadly Sins’ secrets.
Shen Junqing smiled indifferently, stained with blood on his lips. He wiped away the blood and leaned his head against the wall, asking softly, “Do you think anyone will know if we die here?”
“You’re asking me, but who can I ask?”
Bai Chen hadn’t informed Shen Junqing that he had already notified Nan Yan.
He had great faith in Little Yanyan’s abilities.
She would find a way to rescue them.
The tightly closed door was pushed open, and Chapman walked in.
“Are you two still not willing to confess?”
