"But compared to this mistake, there's another one that's even more deadly. However, it isn't truly a mistake, but rather an unavoidable vulnerability."
Qi Meng hurriedly asked, her heart full of confusion.
"It's the unique scent on you!"
"I remember, the first time I smelled this scent was at Jianghai's manor that night..."
"You knew back then that I was the one who tried to assassinate you?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Meng was completely stunned!
She had always thought she was well hidden, especially since she had disguised herself that first time!
But unexpectedly, all her performances over the long time seemed nothing but clownish in front of him!
Thinking of this, Qi Meng couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile...
"That's right, I knew it when I first met you in Yandu."
Su Chen looked at Qi Meng and smiled mischievously:
"Surprised? Unexpected?"
What could Qi Meng say to this? Surprised, yes, but delighted? Definitely not!
"Alright, now we can have a proper talk, can't we?"
Su Chen said lightly.
Qi Meng avoided Su Chen's gaze.
"Of course, let's first talk about why you're wandering around in the middle of the night instead of sleeping."
The hand Su Chen had on Qi Meng's waist wasn't behaving itself either. Qi Meng wanted to avoid it, but she was tightly pressed by Su Chen and couldn't move!
"I just couldn't sleep, so I came to take a look."
Qi Meng said in a fluster, feeling very uncomfortable with Su Chen's mischievous hand.
"Alright, since you're willing to talk about this topic, let's discuss who you really are!"
Su Chen said casually.
"I don't understand what you're saying. I'm just me!"
Qi Meng's heart trembled and she immediately spoke.
Su Chen's mouth curved into a teasing smile again:
"Don't think I don't know your true identity."
Upon hearing this, Qi Meng's charming face lost its previous allure and turned to a look of panic.
But then she calmed down. There's no way he could know, he must be trying to trick me! He must be!
"My lord, Hades, why are you saying things I don't understand tonight?"
Qi Meng adjusted her state of mind again and coquettishly replied.
Su Chen heard Qi Meng's words and the corner of his mouth pulled up into an evil smile.
He then almost whispered in her ear:
"Judgment Department, Lord Messenger."
As soon as he spoke, Qi Meng's delicate body suddenly shook violently, her beautiful eyes opened wide, staring at Su Chen in complete disbelief!
She was even more shocked than when Su Chen revealed her true identity and recognized her as the assassin from Jianghai's manor!
How did he know? This is impossible!
Qi Meng's mind was blank, her heart almost jumping out of her throat!
Seeing Qi Meng's pale face, Su Chen also felt a shock in his heart!
At this moment, how could he not know that this Qi Meng and the hidden mastermind behind the Skull Society were the same—the Judgment Department!
"Were you just tricking me?"
Qi Meng heard Su Chen's mutter and couldn't help but widen her eyes again.
"That's right, I was just guessing before, but just now, Miss Qi Meng, you have confirmed my suspicion."
Su Chen smiled lightly, then looked at Qi Meng and said:
"So, can you talk now?"
"What do you want to know?"
At this moment, Qi Meng had completely lost her will to fight, her face full of defeat.
Her mission was doomed to failure, and her outcome was foreseeable.
"Why did you try to assassinate me at first, then later seem to ingratiate yourself to me in every possible way?"
Su Chen asked his first question.
"I found it strange at first too, until recently I learned the reason."
"They wanted to win you over, to recruit you, hoping to get something from you."
Qi Meng looked at Su Chen and said.
"You were looking for that thing earlier?"
Su Chen immediately asked.
Qi Meng nodded and admitted.
"What exactly is it that makes your organization so fixated?"
Su Chen asked curiously.
"A cultivation technique! Lord Messenger told me you could repair broken dantians, and promoted your cultivation to almost half-step Meridian Expansion level so quickly. The High Priest thought you must've cultivated some kind of heaven-defying cultivation technique."
"So he ordered me to get it from you and bring it back to the organization."
Upon hearing Qi Meng's words, Su Chen suddenly realized!
However, the High Priest's guess was correct; he indeed practiced a heaven-defying cultivation technique!
He couldn't help but feel glad he hid the sheepskin scroll early!
"Are you a Golden Knight in your organization?"
"It seems like you really understand our organization!"
Qi Meng said in surprise after hearing Su Chen's words:
"That's right, I'm a Golden Knight."
"By the way, why were you infiltrating Qimeng Tower before? And why approach Shen Lin?"
After all, Qi Meng had infiltrated Qimeng Tower before he came to Yandu. It couldn't have been just for him.
"The organization's task for me was to help Shen Lin become the head of the Shen Family and control him."
"But now, because of you, this plan is also impossible to complete!"
Qi Meng gave Su Chen a meaningful look and said.
A new family head had taken over the Shen Family. Shen Lin and Shen Shao had no chances left!
Unless a new plan was made for Shen Yu, it meant all the previous work was for nothing.
Even if she was willing, the organization wouldn't have the patience to wait any longer.
Upon hearing this, Su Chen was puzzled. What on earth is the Judgment Department planning?
"I don't know either, but I guess they might want to hide someone in the Shen Family in the future."
Qi Meng pondered and said:
"After all, Huaxia is too special. If a large number of organization members entered Huaxia, they would definitely attract the attention of Huaxia's internal forces, especially the Hidden Dragon Hall!"
"With the cover of these big families, it won't be so easily detected."
"You even know about the Hidden Dragon Hall?"
Su Chen nodded and asked, a bit surprised.
"Of course, organizations at certain levels all know about the Hidden Dragon Hall. Why is Huaxia so stable? It's largely because of the deterrence of the Hidden Dragon Hall!"
Qi Meng looked at Su Chen and said:
"An organization like the Judgment Department, even if it wants to do something in Huaxia, it only dares to send a few people sporadically without cover! It would never dare to send large squads!"
"It seems the Hidden Dragon Hall is really effective, I used to underestimate them."
Su Chen thought to himself...
