Chapter 195 Fu Zixian’s Unforeseen Incident (2)
The young man gave her a dissatisfied look.
Wen Yantong immediately recollected herself and forced out a fake smile, "Sir, are you talking about the young master of the Fu Residence? We have a rather friendly relationship, so I want to ask what happened to him."
The young man collected her things and made an exception by answering her, "We wanted to take a jade pendant from him, but he refused to let us do so. Since he was so ignorant as to fight back, we naturally gave him a lesson. He’s now bedridden, and it’s already been a day since; hard to tell if he’s gonna live through it."
Wen Yantong was so shocked that her voice trembled, "But... isn't he the son of Prime Minister Fu? Was there a need to be so ruthless?"
The young man found her constant questions annoying and angrily retorted, "What does this have to do with you? Just stay tactful and quietly stay put, otherwise you will be next!"
Wen Yantong had no choice but to stop asking. After the man left, she lifelessly devoured the bland sustenance at hand.
Fu Zixian’s mind wasn’t inflexible; he was unlike Mu Yang. How could he not know how to adapt and be beaten like this for a single jade pendant?
She anxiously walked around the room while still holding the bowl in her hands.
Did that jade pendant hold a special meaning to him?
Was it a relic left by his mother?
But even so, after these people are detained by the authorities, this jade pendant could be returned. Why was he suddenly so obstinate?
Wen Yantong remained perplexed despite much thought. The Fu Zixian she knew should not be like this; although he was a bashful boy, he was a very intelligent person.
She hurriedly finished her bowl of rice, and suddenly decided that she couldn't wait any longer. She had to do something, otherwise Chi Jingxi might also be injured.
So when the masked man came to collect the bowls, she stopped him and said in a muffled voice, "Sir, can you pass a message to your leader?"
The man gave her an inexplicable gaze, but disregarded her request, and turned to leave.
However, before he took a step out, Wen Yantong said, "The clear spring reflects reed blossoms."
When the masked man heard this, he immediately turned to look at her, and fell still from shock.
Wen Yantong feigned a profound expression as she urged, "Make haste."
The masked man ran out quickly, even forgetting to take the empty bowls with him. Wen Yantong wilted and anxiously waited in the room for a while. Not long after, she heard footsteps coming from outside the door.
She immediately stood upright, ensuring that her expression remained profound and unreadable.
The door was pushed open, and a tall man, wearing a red mask, stroded in.He scrutinized Wen Yantong up and down.
Wen Yantong just stood still, her eyes seemed to be covered with frost. She tried her best to imitate Chi Jingxi’s demeanor as she gazed back at him with cold eyes, completely unfathomable.
She didn't know how well she had imitated him, but after a short stalemate, the man spoke first, "Repeat what you previously said."
Wen Yantong reiterated, "The clear spring reflects reed blossoms."
The red masked man then asked, "Is there water in the clear spring?"
"The clear spring does not, but the dark pond does." Wen Yantong replied.
This was a very secret code used by the soldiers of Jiang Residence, only known to the limited number of leaders. Jiang Residence had also implanted several spies into the royal family residence, but rarely did they make any contact with the Jiang Residence’s private soldiers. The only way to test the other was using this secret code.
In the original novel, after the Jiang Residence's private soldiers were defeated by the authorities, only one leader remained among the few who escaped the calamity. This leader was later found by the Jiang Residence's spies. The book specifically wrote about the scenario where they used this secret code.
But that happened much later. When Wen Yantong figured out what she had to do, she decided to make use of this secret code.
This was a very risky move; one careless action, and her head would be lost. She wasn’t sure if she could even gain their complete trust, but any fraction was enough for now.
Although she had correctly answered, the red masked man didn’t fully let down his guard and just called into question, "Why have you been caught here?"
"You have to ask your own subordinates about this." Wen Yantong replied calmly.
"Then why didn't you disclose your identity earlier?" The red masked man continued to interrogate.
Wen Yantong answered, "If it wasn’t necessary, I wouldn’t have exposed my identity."
"Then what made you change your mind?"
Wen Yantong frowned, "You have done something stupid, and I don't want to be implicated by you."
The red masked man knew that she was referring to Fu Zixian, so he fell silent for a moment and said, "I have already been punished."
Wen Yantong's aura immediately fiercened, "What's the use of punishment?! Do you know how much effort I put in to gain their trust!"
The red masked man looked at her coldly, "This matter doesn't hinder his trust in you, no?"
Wen Yantong was not frightened by his retort and sneered, "You acted against orders, ruined my plan, and are seeking death. If it weren’t for Master Jiang's kindness, I could have cut off all relationships and made you all fend for yourselves."
The red masked man was silent, and after a while he asked, "What do you want?"
When Wen Yantong heard this, she inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. She knew the masked man was somewhat willing to trust her. She mentally rubbed off her cold sweat and said in a calm voice, "I want to see Young Master Jiang."
Of course Wen Yantong was eager to check up on Fu Zixian to see if he was seriously injured and what his current condition was.
However, it's not easy to gain the trust of these people, so she couldn’t rush and ruin what she had just successfully done.
So she asked to see Jiang Yan first.
The red masked man was one of the four leaders in the team, his code name was Summer.
After thinking about it for a while, Summer did not immediately comply with Wen Yantong's request, but asked her to wait.
He most likely went to discuss the matter with the other three leaders. Wen Yantong was not in a hurry, so she waited patiently in the room.
The red masked man left for about two hours, and when he came he brought a man with a green mask. The green masked man was a little shorter than the red masked man, but his eyes looked cruel and sinister. At glance, it was easy to tell he was difficult to deal with.
The green masked man looked at Wen Yantong a few times and asked, "Were you the one that completed the secret code?"
Wen Yantong's expression chilled. "So I waited for two hours, just for you to ask about nonsense?"
The green masked man was choked by her retort and angrily responded, "You said you wanted to see Young Master Jiang. However, Young Master Jiang was right next door to you before. Why didn’t you say it then?"
Wen Yantong frowned, with some annoyance in her eyes, as if feeling very impatient, "I said I couldn't reveal my identity unless necessary. Now that the Jiang Residence has been searched and seized, your group is now in the light while I am a part of the shadow. This is the only chance to avenge the Jiang Residence, and I can't just watch you people ruin this opportunity!"
There was a hint of blame in her tone. The role she played was on a somewhat equal footing with these Jiang Residence soldiers; one force gathered intelligence from within while the other force was outside, smuggling weapons and training troops.
"I need to meet with Young Master Jiang, immediately!" Wen Yantong loudly commanded.
The green masked man temporarily heeded, he escorted Wen Yantong out of the small dark room, and then led her to the main building of the very same courtyard house. Jiang Yan was placed in the bedroom of this building.
Jiang Yan was very surprised when he saw Wen Yantong. Then he saw that there were two masked people behind her, the words he had wanted to say were swallowed back.
Wen Yantong entered the room and her first words after sitting down were: "Young Master Jiang, you should understand the current situation, right?"
Jiang Yan didn't expect her to speak in such a tone, and couldn't help but be a little baffled, "Huh? What did you say?"
"Now that the Jiang Residence has been seized, our previous influences have also dispersed. I’ve lost contact with a few fellow internal agents, they’ve most likely been discovered and removed. It was not easy for me to get in touch with you all now, but we must discuss our next preparation for avenging the Jiang Residence." Wen Yantong feigned.
Jiang Yan was completely dumbfounded. "Internal agents? What internal agent?"
Wen Yantong pondered for a moment and then replied, "Actually, I am an internal agent for the Jiang Residence. I was arranged to grow up near the Marquis Mansion when I was a child and then sent to Songhai Academy in order to get close to the Little Marquis and others."
Jiang Yan's eyes nearly popped out, "What did you say?!"
