Chapter 334 The Beauty and the Boss's Love and Career (87 words)
Another murmur arose from the crowd.
"So it was Marshal Jun Sui who made the move. No wonder!"
"That's good. The traitor has finally been caught, and the empire can finally have some peace."
Relief spread across everyone's faces, and their admiration for Jun Sui and Yun Suisi deepened.
As Yun Suisi gazed in the direction Ran Cang had left, a great weight was finally lifted from his heart.
A meaningful smile appeared on his face, and he murmured softly with a smile:
"Who's next?"
At first, no one grasped the deeper meaning of Yun Suisi's words, until someone suddenly came to their senses and exclaimed in surprise:
"Wait, what does he mean by that? Could it be..."
……
A few days later, everything in the empire was proceeding in an orderly manner, and the turmoil caused by Pei Jiao's treason was gradually calming down.
On this day, sunlight streamed through the windows, casting dappled shadows in Yun Suisi's office.
Ran Cang stood at the office door, took a deep breath, and straightened the hem of his clothes, feeling both apprehensive and expectant.
She knocked gently on the door, and after receiving permission, she walked steadily inside.
"Mr. Yun."
Ran Cang bowed slightly, greeted him politely, and his eyes gleamed with determination.
"I've come today to ask you for the patrol assignment."
During this time, I have witnessed the Empire gradually returning to peace under your and Marshal Junsui's protection, and I also yearn to contribute to the Empire.
I have accumulated a lot of experience in the past and have a certain understanding of various situations in interstellar space.
I firmly believe I am capable of fulfilling my patrol duties and contributing my strength to safeguarding the empire's territory.
Ran Cang finished speaking in one breath, his eyes full of sincerity, quietly waiting for Yun Suisi's response.
Jun Sui, sitting next to Yun Sui Si, had been observing Ran Cang silently ever since she entered the room.
At this moment, he suddenly spoke, his gaze sharp and fixed on Ran Cang, his voice low yet filled with absolute certainty:
"You were the mastermind, weren't you?"
This sudden remark made Ran Cang's eyes widen instantly, and his face showed an extremely shocked expression, as if he had heard something unbelievable.
Her hand moved rapidly involuntarily, as if trying to brush away Jun Sui's words, and she hurriedly said:
"Marshal Jun, please don't say anything reckless!"
How could I possibly be the mastermind?
I am just a small... ordinary citizen of the empire. How could I possibly have the power and ability to plan anything big?
Are you perhaps misunderstanding something?
As Ran Cang spoke, she gave Jun Sui an innocent look, trying to convince him of her words.
Jun Sui was not fooled by Ran Cang's performance. He slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a knowing smile that seemed to hold endless meaning.
He continued slowly and deliberately:
"Ah Si helped you after he found out halfway through."
Your teamwork is truly seamless; you've kept everyone in the dark.
Upon hearing this, Ran Cang's heart suddenly raced, but she still forced herself to remain calm, forcing a puzzled smile onto her face, and said:
"I don't understand what you're saying at all, Marshal Jun."
What kind of tacit understanding or cooperation could Mr. Yun and I possibly have?
What have you been hiding from everyone this time?
Please don't tease me.
As Ran Cang spoke, he secretly observed Jun Sui's expression, trying to find a way to deal with it from their reactions.
Li Que, who had been sitting idly to the side, perked up instantly upon hearing this conversation.
He stared blankly at Ran Cang on the left and Jun Sui on the right, looking completely bewildered. He scratched his head and asked, his face full of doubt:
"What are you talking about?"
I don't understand at all. What mastermind?
What happened?
Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me already!
Li Que's eyes were filled with curiosity as he looked back and forth between the three of them, hoping that someone could give him an answer.
Jun Sui looked helplessly at his bewildered and silly younger brother, Li Que, his eyes filled with disappointment and a hint of brotherly doting.
He sighed softly and slowly began to speak:
"Ran Cang used that banquet to eliminate all the participants from that year."
"what?"
Li Que's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with surprise and confusion, his mouth slightly open, and it took him a long time to find his voice.
"What were they involved in? How did they end up being involved with Ran Cang..."
Jun Sui's gaze turned cold and deep, his tone carrying a hint of barely concealed anger:
"Human experimentation."
Those people, driven by their own selfish desires and ambitions, secretly conducted inhumane human experiments, using countless innocent lives as their test subjects, subjecting them to a fate worse than death.
"!!!"
Li Que was so shocked that he couldn't speak, only feeling a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to his heart.
His hands clenched involuntarily, and his body trembled slightly.
He subconsciously reached out and held Ran Cang's hand tightly, as if to give her strength, or as if seeking comfort.
Ran Cang felt the warmth of Li Que's palm and gently returned the grip.
Their hands were intertwined tightly; without words, their feelings were conveyed through this silent gesture.
Li Que opened his mouth, but something seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he didn't know what to say for a long time.
His eyes were filled with heartache and guilt as he murmured, "You..."
Just then, Yun Suisi took over the conversation, his expression calm yet carrying a hint of all-knowing wisdom.
He spoke slowly:
"At first, I really didn't know anything."
But upon closer reflection, from the Emperor and Empress's arrival at the scene to the death of Master Sun, all the signs pointed to your involvement.
Li Que nodded with difficulty, his throat tight and his voice slightly hoarse:
"Yes.
We have received intelligence that some space pirate spies are deeply embedded, hiding right under our noses, posing a huge threat to the security of the Empire.
In order to eliminate them, we used the identity that the Second Prince had regained to set up a scheme.
They have their plans, seeking every opportunity to stir up trouble; we are doing the same, giving them a taste of their own medicine.
Li Que paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "Although Master Sun is also one of the undercover agents, we originally planned to use someone else's identity to do our work."
It was Ran Cang who made the request to use Master Sun as a pretext.
As it turned out, her decision was crucial; everything went exactly as planned, without any surprises.
After Li Que finished speaking, his gaze towards Ran Cang was filled with more respect and trust.
Yun Suisi narrowed his eyes slightly, spoke slowly, his tone unhurried yet filled with absolute certainty:
"Until that night, the appearance of Ruan An and two other corpses completely disrupted all your plans."
You never expected this to happen, did you?
His gaze lingered on Li Que and Ran Cang's faces, as if trying to catch every subtle change in their expressions.
A bitter smile appeared on Li Que's face, a smile tinged with helplessness and regret. He sighed softly and said:
"Yes, it was a complete mess back then."
After that, my brother and I acted entirely on the fly, taking it one step at a time, and we were incredibly uncertain about the future.
Everything was proceeding smoothly according to plan; who could have imagined such an unexpected turn of events?
As he spoke, he shook his head helplessly, his eyes revealing a memory of the chaotic situation at the time.
Yun Suisi nodded slightly and continued:
"The moment I saw Ruan An there, I had a vague suspicion that the mastermind was probably Ran Cang."
“How come you see?”
Li Que looked puzzled and couldn't help but ask.
In his opinion, Yun Suisi's deduction was a bit too sudden. He really couldn't understand how Yun Suisi could connect Ruan An's appearance to Ran Cang.
