342: He's got his eyes on me?!
With the Tiangong Group taking the lead, the Sinkhole Base could develop rapidly and quietly until the moment it revealed itself, which would surely shock the entire Blue Star!
Perhaps Justin's teacher, Sir Dubi, never imagined such an outcome. He thought he had grasped the current technological status of Great Ming, unaware that it was merely a small fish surfacing from Great Ming's waters... But Sir Dubi is certainly no ordinary person. Not only is he a Martial King himself, but even at such a height, he has not relaxed his tracking and investigation of foreign technology, never underestimating any opponent. This mindset and foresight are highly admirable to Long Yuan. Based on this alone, Long Yuan will certainly turn around and track and investigate the technological achievements of Sir Dubi and his group!
However, Long Yuan felt it was necessary to remind Prince Zhao not to easily reveal too many of their own technological secrets before this, or else, if the two sides met on a future battlefield, countless Great Ming soldiers might sacrifice their lives in vain. Another point is that he must also promote surveillance and counter-surveillance between the two sides to encourage internal friction, which would naturally be most beneficial to the Sinkhole Base... Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of a question. He swept his Divine Sense and, sure enough, found something. He asked, "Sister Ying, were you carrying this bag when you met Butler Justin that day?"
"This bag? That's right, I've been carrying this bag lately. What, does the Big Star want to buy a better one for me, his Agent?" Xu Ruoying chuckled sweetly.
"Sister Ying, you jest. I couldn't afford a bag like yours! Just the Royal Special Supply Emblem on it is something a Commoner like me can't buy!"
"Oh, I didn't think you had such good taste, recognizing the Royal Special Supply Emblem!" Xu Ruoying was slightly surprised. It seemed Long Yuan wasn't completely clueless.
Long Yuan smiled faintly and said, "That's nothing; many people in Great Ming know about it! However, why does this emblem look like someone tampered with it?"
"Tampered with?" Xu Ruoying was startled.
"Yes, be careful. Bring it here so I can take a look!" Long Yuan nodded.
Xu Ruoying paused, but still took the bag from beside her and handed it over.
Then she personally watched Long Yuan easily open the emblem and take out a small Circular Device hidden inside. After examining it carefully, he said, "This device can secretly film, secretly listen, and store massive amounts of information. More importantly, it can be remotely controlled to transmit the stored information..."
"What?!!!" Hearing this, Xu Ruoying's face lost color, and her delicate body trembled slightly. She felt unwell!
"Hmm, the earliest piece of information here begins from a certain moment when you and Butler Justin met for dinner..." Long Yuan stated.
"It was him?!!!" Xu Ruoying cried out, covering her face with her hand. Her composure nearly collapsed on the spot. She hadn't expected the other party to have been secretly filming and listening for such a long time. She loved this bag and kept it close wherever she went. Didn't this mean that all her privacy had been seen by that Butler?
Long Yuan chuckled inwardly, "Sister Ying, you don't need to worry too much. The angle of this lens wouldn't have been able to see much. The other party was mostly just eavesdropping."
"That damned Pervert! I absolutely won't let him off!!!" Xu Ruoying said through gritted teeth.
"Sister Ying, you absolutely must not act rashly! What we are saying right now is also being recorded by it!"
"This..." Xu Ruoying was startled, and her expression changed slightly.
Long Yuan thought for a moment, manipulated the device with his Divine Sense, deleted all the previous conversation, then placed it back behind the emblem, and carefully replaced the emblem's cover.
With a wave of his hand, a ball of energy sealed the bag. He said, "Alright, I have temporarily sealed it now. It can no longer eavesdrop, but it can still secretly film. You must pretend to know nothing, or else tomorrow Justin and that Butler will know you discovered their actions."
"What about my previous private information?!"
"Whether those are deleted or not is irrelevant now. The other party has already obtained them, so why bother with unnecessary effort?"
"This... I definitely won't let him off! Wait, why did you mention Justin too?" Xu Ruoying finally reacted.
"That's quite normal. Without Justin's instruction, why would that Butler do such a thing?"
"Could it be... Justin has taken a liking to this Young Miss?!" Xu Ruoying was stunned, her face slightly flushed.
"Haha, I really admire your thought process! Come on, he has seen countless beauties long ago, and he hasn't even met you. How could he have taken a liking to you?" Long Yuan said happily.
Blushing, Xu Ruoying huffed, "Then why would he do this?"
"Think again about the Butler's actions after contacting you..."
Xu Ruoying was not a person with a big chest and no brains. After thinking carefully, her expression suddenly turned poor, and she said in shock, "Could it be that his goal was to get me to take them to tour the Tiangong Group?!"
"You got it!"
"Oh my god! This is bad!!!" Xu Ruoying jumped up in alarm, only to slump back down, looking disheartened... "Don't be like that. Even without you, they would have found a way to sneak in to secretly film and listen!" Long Yuan comforted her.
"Secretly filming and listening? Are you saying... they really went to the Tiangong Group to do these things?"
"What else? Of course, their entry into the Tiangong Group through you was just a coincidence. In fact, Justin's influence goes far beyond that. His true identity is the Personal Disciple of Martial King Sir Dubi of Snow Eagle Country. He came to Great Ming with a mission, and he has a close relationship with the Blood Wolf Hall, allowing him to secretly manipulate some of the Blood Wolf Hall's actions..."
Xu Ruoying's beautiful eyes widened, and her delicate body trembled involuntarily, her face showing disbelief... Clearly, she was completely shocked by the astonishing information Long Yuan had revealed!
She never expected that the complexities behind Justin involved such intricate secrets. If she had known this earlier, she absolutely would not have dared to cooperate with him. But now the die was cast, and she had even helped that Butler enter the Tiangong Group. She didn't know how much damage this action would cause the Tiangong Group. What should she do?
Her heart raced instantly, and she suffered an intense headache, unsure how to face this situation... Because this matter had completely exceeded her capabilities. Even if she sold herself now, it probably wouldn't solve such a World-Class Problem!
Suddenly, she saw Long Yuan's calm and composed expression, and her eyes lit up, as if a Drowning Person had grasped a Lifeline. She grabbed his hand urgently and said, "Long Yuan, quickly tell me what I should do now? If Justin and his group succeed, won't I become a Sinner against the Tiangong Group—oh no, against Great Ming?!"
"It's not that serious! Their surveillance only just started, hasn't it?" Long Yuan said calmly...
