Chapter 232

“Are you crazy? Shut up!” Hearing that Wei Wei said he was going to come clean with He Jingyan, Xing Chen immediately stopped him, but at this time, Wei Wei’s sights had been blurred by his tears. “I’m not crazy. You are the only family member whom I value the most. I won’t let you die.”

He looked back at Xing Chen. Although his eyes were filled with tears, the determination could be seen.

Xing Chen was shocked because he was feeling the exact same way. He was raised by his sister since he was a child. Now besides Wei Wei, no one else could be considered as his family.

‘Family? Looks like we had accidentally hit the Jackpot! Another man we can use here.’

He Jingyan smiled meaningfully. He wanted to enjoy the show aside, but now it was not the right time for the show. He had to deal with it as soon as possible and let Xu Yangyi sleep.

“Now I only need you to answer me one question. Whom are you working for?”

He Jingyan cut to the chase and didn’t want to waste any more time.

Hearing this, Wei Wei immediately wanted to answer, but he was stopped by Xing Chen. Wei Wei thought that Xing Chen was still trying to keep the secret even at this time so he wanted to persuade him, but before he could say anything, Xing Chen had suddenly said in a low voice, “The eldest prince doesn’t know your identity is exposed now. Don’t say anything, be good and just leave it to me.”

‘I’m their captive already anyway. If things go south, I would be the only one who the first prince wants to kill. I’ll try my best to leave Wei Wei out of this.’

Wei Wei didn’t understand why Xing Chen would do that at first, but thinking of 009 who had been killed in the prison, he immediately caught on: once Ke Jie knew his identity had been exposed, he would be killed by other spies here.

To Ke Jie, he would only kill his man heartlessly once they became useless. He would not leave them to the enemy.

“But Xing Chen, if you do this, you will…”

“Don’t worry! The eldest prince won’t kill me.” ‘There are only a few people who could help him and fewer he could trust with. Although I’m not sure about this, I still have to gamble. If I win, Wei Wei and I would both have a chance to survive.’

Hearing this, Wei Wei seemed to understand something, so he did not stop him. But deep down inside, he was still very nervous, because there were also spies like him here. He was afraid that all these would be found out by them.

“If I tell you whom I work for, will you spare Wei Wei?” Xing Chen was not stupid. Aat least he had to get some guarantee from He Jingyan.

He Jingyan just looked up slightly, because he knew Xing Chen would say that, “He was not escorted here, but was asked to be brought here. Isn’t this answer obvious enough?”

He Jingyan said that and added, “I know your rules. Once the spies become useless, they will be executed by their superior. I don’t want your people to know that I’ve found out about their spies either, so you can rest assured. He is safe as long as you are telling the truth.”

The last sentence was telling Xing Chen that if he dared to lie to him, his answer would determine Wei Wei’s life and death.

‘So that’s the case! He Jingyan had also considered a lot, but that is also understandable. If it were me, I would also watch the spies here in the dark instead of telling the enemy that your spies’ identities have been exposed.’

This man is much smarter than we expected. He probably has already found out about all the spies, but he didn’t know who they were. And my existence could be seen as a clue to all the questions he wanted to know, which happened to be a free gift for him.’
