Hearing "Li Fang’s" words, Mo Yu, Guan Ailin, and Zhou Shijie looked at each other with eyes full of confusion and shock.
This time, even the usually composed Yang Mingzhong was looking at Wen Nan with a puzzled and questioning gaze.
But Wen Nan merely looked calmly at the "Li Fang" in front of her, with a smile that was hard to decipher.
The woman, who bore Li Fang’s appearance, grew anxious upon seeing this and desperately tried to explain:
"Don’t you believe me? I really am Wu Qing. I don’t know why I look woman...
"But it must have been... when I was just in my graduate dorm...
"Yes! Just now, that female student named Li Fang suddenly barged into the dorm, lunged at me, and I got tangled up with two people. Everything went black, and then my appearance changed. When I regained my senses, Minmin had me pinned against the wall. I tried to justify myself, but as soon as I uttered a few words, something was thrown at me, making me pass out. When I came to, I was already brought here..."
At this point, the woman looked at Wen Nan, "Ye Jiu, what I said is true, you have to believe me!"
Wen Nan nodded, "I believe you, my queen."
The woman was about to continue defending herself, but Wen Nan’s words stopped her. Stunned for a moment, she then spoke again, "You, you believe me? Then why are you so calm? The ceremony is about to begin soon. If we miss it, all our previous preparations will become meaningless."
Wen Nan reached into his pocket and pulled out a "small brick" phone, "Without making some necessary sacrifices, how can we lure that other ’traitor’ out into the open?"
Wu Qing was bewildered, "Traitor? How could that be? I previously arranged for Wang Yajun to check everyone suspicious here, and we didn’t find any other traitors..."
Wen Nan shook his head, glanced at Yang Mingzhong, and then returned his gaze, "Now, in this map, an assassin can be more like a loyalist than the loyalist themselves, and naturally, a loyalist can be more like a traitor than the traitor themselves."
Wu Qing, after hearing Wen Nan’s words, became even more puzzled, "I don’t understand."
Wen Nan chuckled softly, turned his head, and looked at the person who had been standing silently by the metal cage wall,
"If you don’t understand, how about we let this ’traitor’ who has always been behind the scenes explain it himself?"
Everyone present followed Wen Nan’s gaze and looked at one person—Yin Zhi’en.
Yin Zhi’en was first taken aback, then showed a somewhat stiff smile, "Senior, what are you talking about? What behind the scenes? What ’traitor’? What does that have to do with me?"
Wen Nan sighed and shook his head, "Even at this moment, you’re still acting? Your goal has been achieved, right? Now, the queen and we are trapped together in the trap you set. Your plan has succeeded. Isn’t it unnecessary to continue acting?"
At this point, Wen Nan glanced at the nearby cage-like metal bars standing upright and continued,
"If I’m not mistaken, this metal cage should be quite the top-tier equipment, right? Rented to you by President Carl? With the strength of this prop, I’m afraid, even if I summon Yu Shujun, also known as Jun Wuming, here, breaking through this trap in a short time is impossible, right?
"Since that’s the case, you hold all the cards. There’s no need to keep pretending. At this stage, can’t we just be honest and have a good talk with your true self?"
After Wen Nan spoke, silence enveloped the metal cage.
After a long time, Yin Zhi’en began to laugh.
That laughter was entirely different from his previously innocent and naïve smile—this was a smile filled with deep schemes and malevolence.
Yin Zhi’en dropped the corners of his lips, crossed his arms, leaned back against the metal cage wall, and looked at Wen Nan with his nose held high, "How did you figure it out? Was my acting not good enough?"
Wen Nan shook his head, sincerely praising, "Your acting was impeccable; at one point, even I was deceived by you."
Yin Zhi’en became even more puzzled, "Then why?"
Wen Nan looked calmly at him, "In the hospital where I lived before, there was a well-known truth—
"To truly see through someone, you shouldn’t look at what they say but at what they do.
"Your face, your words, and even your [loyalist] identity card are full of deceptive traits, but the things you’ve done, the places you’ve been, are nothing like a member of our faction.
"The first time I saw you, you appeared at the entrance of the police office, hiding among the crowd, watching the loyalist Hu Jiayao come out from the police office with hawk-like eyes.
"The second time, you were hiding in the shadows of Lover’s Hill. After being discovered by the police, with just a few words and glib speech, you easily tricked the police, which was when I determined that you’re very good at lying, very good at acting, and very adept at concealing your real identity and thoughts.
"The third time, we met in a karaoke room at MONEY-KTV. You mixed with a group from the evil faction. It was when you were the most suspicious, and it was then that I used the truth serum on you. Unfortunately, you have a subconscious response.
"You’re very clever. You knew I used the truth serum on you, and since you knew you were a loyalist, you were very clear that this was your strongest cover. So you deliberately drank my truth serum, intentionally withstood it until you revealed your loyalist identity. After that, when I further asked about your other connections to the evil faction, you then used your subconscious response to escape to the restroom, using a violent reaction of vomiting to disguise your collusion with other members of the evil faction.
