CHAPTER 570: CHAPTER 570: ANYING MAY HAVE DEFECTED

"Rest assured, there will definitely be tasks that require your participation in the future. Now is not an ideal time. When it comes, I will contact you directly. After this mission is complete, make sure to leave as soon as possible. This time, because your entry was rather conspicuous, I’m also worried that it will attract unwanted attention."

"Don’t worry, there won’t be any problems. Even if there is a major conflict, it’s not too difficult to handle. Essentially, we can take care of everything."

"Alright, I got it. Let’s proceed with that plan."

After finishing the conversation, the call was abruptly disconnected, and Yang Da took a deep breath.

He was just worried that this matter couldn’t be neatly concluded.

If this person named Anying was holding onto all the secret data, then that would be an incredible boon for them.

Believing that with the U12 member data in hand, Yang Da knew he could take them down one by one and then figure out a way to deal with these members.

"What’s wrong, Boss Yang? Is there an issue with Hei Hu?"

During the wait, members of the Scorpion Gang were always on standby here, ready to take on any urgent tasks that might arise, ready to come up with a plan and act immediately.

"Do you remember what Hei Hu mentioned before about having a member controlled by the enemy?"

"Oh, I remember, was it a girl? What’s her name... Anying, right?"

"Yes, exactly. He said that just a few minutes ago, Anying called to meet with him privately. Moreover, Anying said she had just escaped from the U12 ranks and managed to gather some secret materials."

"What? A girl responsible only for surveillance, how could she possibly escape from the U12 ranks? It seems rather incredible to me."

"Yes, it does sound incredible, but the thing is, we don’t know much about U12’s members."

"But even if our knowledge is limited, Guo Tao has always treated U12 as his ace in the hole. If that’s the case, I believe there has to be something unique about them that wouldn’t allow just anyone to escape."

"But she has already done it, and there’s another odd point that I found equally strange. When she escaped, aside from snatching those materials, she also brought along a U12 member."

"You mean, Anying subdued a U12 member all by herself? That... that’s impossible, I can’t believe such a thing."

"I had my doubts as well when he first mentioned it, but after all, we don’t really understand the U12 members. Perhaps they really aren’t as formidable as we imagined? Or, maybe they are much stronger only when combined—that might explain it."

"Anyway, I always feel there’s something really bizarre about this."

"How else could it be strange? Even if she hasn’t subdued a U12 member, what can she do? I’ve arranged for Hei Hu to meet with her in private. After all, she’s grown up by Hei Hu’s side, so I think Hei Hu should be more than capable of handling her."

"Could this be a trap the enemy has set for us? And using this opportunity to lure out Hei Hu—could that be the situation?"

"If they draw Hei Hu out, what effect could it have? Besides, Hei Hu isn’t a core member of my team; he’s currently just in charge of peripheral intelligence gathering."

"But have you thought about it? If the peripheral intelligence gathering stops, our whole team will be like loose sand, completely unable to stand firm."

"I think there shouldn’t be any major problems. Additionally, to be honest, I’ve started to have my doubts about Hei Hu’s capabilities."

"Right, last time I had arranged so many people around that hotel, but unexpectedly, they were all cleared out by Ada’s men—it seems their hiding techniques were nothing special after all?"

"Hold on a second."

At this moment, another Scorpion Gang member suddenly stood up, and Yang Da turned to look at him, seemingly having some doubts about the whole thing.

"What’s wrong? Is there a problem, or have you thought of something?"

"I remember when we were ambushing near the hotel, those people couldn’t find us at all, but why after Anying disappeared, they were able to locate us precisely? And they even managed to replace all these people one by one—don’t you think this is too much of a coincidence?"

"Are you suggesting it was after Anying was captured that these people were replaced?"

"Yes, exactly that. And it happened the day after Anying was caught. I remember it clearly. At the time, I was wondering, who exactly are these people under Hei Hu? Now that I think about it, could this have something to do with Anying?"

"So you mean to say, Anying provided their locations, allowing them to be targeted and killed precisely?"

"Exactly."

"Then, if we interpret it that way, does it mean that Anying has actually defected to the other side? If so, why is she baiting Hei Hu out now? What exactly does Anying want to do?"

"I’m not sure, but Hei Hu holds too much of our information. If this situation is truly beyond salvage, I worry that Hei Hu could leak our detailed intel."

"That’s impossible, you might not understand Hei Hu as much, but I do. He would never do such a thing. Besides, he has been by my side for many years; he absolutely wouldn’t betray me. So rest assured on that."

"So if it’s not about extracting information from Hei Hu, could it be that they want to harm him?"

"Harm Hei Hu?"

"Yes, I’m just worried they might harm Hei Hu; if that’s the case, then Hei Hu’s situation might be a one-way trip with no return."
