Chapter 688: Special Surveillance
"Yes, right now, you need to be a silent person, and, I think I'm gradually coming to understand why there has been a covert line keeping an eye on you all this time. It might be related to this secret."
"What kind of secret is it? Why has there suddenly been such a big change?"
After hearing all this, he truly felt somewhat unable to accept it. He had just walked out of this pain, and now in the blink of an eye, such a huge burden had been placed on his head. Who, he wondered, could endure all of this?
"Don't worry about it. Now, with me here to guard everything, there shouldn't be any major problems or mistakes. So there is really no need for you to worry."
"Alright, I understand. Since you don't want me to ask, then I simply won't ask. I'll just persuade him that this matter has nothing to do with me."
"Exactly, that's the right idea. You go on with your work, live your life; return to your normal routine. Only by doing that can we lull the enemy into complacency, confusing them about what you're really thinking."
"Okay, I do feel a bit tired now. I want to be alone for a while, is that okay?"
Lin Yaru also felt a kind of indescribable emotion at this moment.
In fact, regarding her feelings at this time, Ye Chen truly understood.
He knew that some things might be too much for her to take in at once, so he needed to give Lin Yaru a space to be on her own for a while, perhaps only then might she slowly come to understand.
"Alright, then, if there's anything you need, just call me. Oh, and what would you like to eat tonight? I'll go out and get something for you later."
"No need, I'm not hungry. I won't eat tonight. You see, you two just make do with what you have. I'm really tired and don't want to do anything; I just want to get a good night's sleep."
"Okay, then have a good rest."
After saying that, he only turned back to look at Anying, exchanging a glance, then swiftly left the place.
After coming out of the room, he just stood in place and carefully waited for a while, ensuring there was no unusual movement in the room, then he followed Anying upstairs.
Finally, after passing by Anying's room, Anying gestured inside. In fact, Ye Chen well understood that Anying wanted to bring him to the room now to discuss this matter in detail.
After all, the incident had already occurred, and no one could guarantee what might happen next, so they needed to be prepared for anything to handle these unexpected events.
Once inside the room, Anying closed the door immediately, then stood behind it, listening carefully.
After confirming that everything outside remained quiet, Anying let out a long sigh of relief.
"Has everything gone smoothly for you today?"
"It's been relatively smooth. I've already reported these matters to Master Liu, but what surprised me was that a piece of information was inadvertently revealed during a conversation between Master Liu and his subordinate, which suggests this plan has been in the works for a long time."
"Did you mention to Miss Lin about the secrets she's involved in? And that they're related to her family's secrets?"
"That's correct. I only know there's an issue, but why should there be any secrets involving Lin Yaru, who seems to be just an ordinary person? That, I really can't understand."
Speaking of this, Ye Chen just sighed deeply and, feeling somewhat helpless, shook his head and sat down on a nearby chair.
"You know, a few years ago I've executed a secret mission abroad, where we were supposed to track a little girl. This girl was the only heir to their family and also the most important person within the family."
"What do you mean? The little girl was the heir to the family? Are you trying to tell me that Lin Yaru has a similar status? And that, now, the attention you paid to her back then is of the very same nature as the people who are watching Lin Yaru now?"
"If she were simply an ordinary person, she wouldn't be worth our trouble to guard her so tirelessly. I tell you, we kept watch for nearly a month at that time."
"Why so long? And it's just a simple and ordinary little girl. Given the capabilities of your organization, I reckon it could have been done quickly, why did it need such a long time?"
"It's because that girl carried something mysterious within her, something that has been coveted generation after generation in their family, even by outsiders."
"I still don't quite understand. What do you mean by something coveted by outsiders? Isn't it just ordinary life, what's so abnormal?"
"It's because her blood contains a special substance that is of significant importance to the refinement of certain drugs. That means, the components in her blood are completely different from those in ordinary people's blood."
"Are you saying that her body contains something those outsiders are desperate to acquire?"
"Yes, because once they have that substance, they can conduct certain experiments they wish to undertake. Do you remember that mysterious underground laboratory we encountered before?"
"Oh yes, I remember. But wasn't it said that the underground laboratory was only being temporarily used, and that they were engaged in some kind of mysterious medical research?"
"Exactly. So when some scientists are researching something, they might need some core substance to facilitate the completion of their experiments, and this core substance might come from nature, or of course, could very likely be something special within a human body."
"In the body, what special thing could there be? I mean, isn't the body composed of ordinary organs? Everything in this world, including all humans, they all seem to have completely identical organs, right?"
