Chapter 975: The One Who Knows

“Tsk, Nineteen,” Zhou Liu called out. “Help me out. I have something to say.”

After hearing this, Yun Shiyi furrowed his brows slightly: “Sixth Sister, what is this about?”

“About ‘Cat,'” Zhou Liu answered.

Yun Shiyi opened his mouth with some difficulty: “Sixth Sister… doesn’t this go against the rules?”

“Tsk, what?” Zhou Liu said. “I just want you to help me out. Is it really that difficult?”

“Sixth Sister… my apologies,” Yun Shiyi said with his head lowered. “Fifth Brother once instructed that regarding major confidential matters of ‘Cat,’ he must be present in person. Otherwise, why don’t you have him come to the meeting as well? That way I won’t be put in such a difficult position.”

“It’s fine,” Chen Junnan spoke up from the side. “Just consider it being held for me. If there’s any problem, I’ll take responsibility.”

“You…” Nineteen stared at Chen Junnan in silence for several seconds.

“You were also present during the last conversation, so you should know what my identity is, right?” Chen Junnan said. “Regarding matters of ‘Cat,’ this young master can make decisions.”

Nineteen looked at Zhou Liu, then looked at Chen Junnan and Jiang Ruoxue, feeling the situation was slightly complicated. These “big shots” seemed to have caught him in a dilemma.

After pondering for a long time, he finally spoke: “Alright… but I’ll also be listening throughout. If there’s any problem, I’ll immediately go get Fifth Brother.”

“Fine, as you wish,” Chen Junnan nodded.

The next second, a peculiar domain expanded, enveloping all four people in the room.

Jiang Ruoxue was experiencing the “Silence” space for the first time. She only felt as if her ears had gone deaf—she couldn’t hear any subtle sounds around her at all, falling into a state of absolute tranquility.

“Tsk, tomorrow… so soon?” Zhou Liu said with furrowed brows.

“That’s right. Tomorrow morning, Qi Xia will bring Zhichun to participate in the ‘Earth-Dragon’ game. That’s when we need to gather our people,” Jiang Ruoxue said without any reservations. “We’ve already set up ‘causality’ before. Whenever Yan Zhichun needs it, a transmission will be sent to all surviving ‘Extreme Path’ members. You still remember this, right?”

“I remember…” Although Zhou Liu said “remember” with her mouth, her expression was very troubled.

“What’s with that expression…?” Jiang Ruoxue asked. “At this point… you’re not hesitating, are you?”

“It’s not that… tsk,” Zhou Liu sighed. “Continue. What do we need to gather people for?”

“I… don’t know,” Jiang Ruoxue said. “Zhichun is probably trying to protect me or ensure the plan executes smoothly. She hasn’t made this matter public to me yet. I only know we need to gather our people and wait for her next instructions.”

“Wait for her instructions…?” Zhou Liu felt somewhat puzzled after hearing this. “Tsk, could it be synchronized with that ‘Earth-Dragon’ game?”

“No…” After saying this, Jiang Ruoxue looked at Chen Junnan beside her with a complex expression, then said, “Zhichun decided to slightly adjust this iteration of Baiyang’s plan and place it after the ‘Earth-Dragon’ game. Even Baiyang himself probably doesn’t know about this, but she’s also doing this with our ‘Extreme Path’ in mind.”

“Everyone…” Yun Shiyi interrupted Jiang Ruoxue’s conversation.

“What…?” Jiang Ruoxue turned to look at him. “Do you need to call Fifth Brother at just this level?”

“No… that’s not it,” Yun Shiyi shook his head.

Hearing everyone’s conversation, he suddenly thought of something.

“Baiyang,” “gathering everyone,” “the plan.”

He didn’t know if it was a startling coincidence, but when Baiyang laid out this plan, he happened to be present.

At that time, he hadn’t yet pierced his eardrums, and heard the first link of this plan crystal clear.

But no matter how you listened to it, this was “Extreme Path’s” plan… what did it have to do with Zhou Liu?

Countless questions swirled endlessly in Nineteen’s mind, causing even his convictions to begin wavering.

“If you have something to say, say it directly,” Jiang Ruoxue said. “Do you have doubts about something…?”

“…Sixth Sister,” Yun Shiyi asked. “Are you certain this matter really concerns ‘Cat’?”

Yun Shiyi didn’t want to expose the fact that he knew about the plan, as this was client privacy.

But this strange plan was clearly full of danger. Once it threatened “Cat,” it became something he had no choice but to speak about.

“That’s right,” Zhou Liu nodded in agreement. “Tsk, once this plan begins ‘execution,’ ‘Cat’ will probably be implicated.”

Yun Shiyi didn’t understand the implication, but quickly thought of an absurd possibility: “Sixth Sister… you’re ‘Extreme Path’…?”

“Tsk, yes,” Zhou Liu nodded. “Nineteen, I’ve always been ‘Extreme Path,’ but I’m also ‘Cat.'”

“You…” Yun Shiyi was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief. “Si-Sixth Sister, regardless of whether you can listen to me or not, we cannot participate in this ‘plan’… You shouldn’t participate either. These people are challenging the unshakeable existence here… If you act together with them, it’s no different from sending the entire ‘Cat’ to their deaths.”

After hearing this, all three people looked directly at Yun Shiyi with extremely complex expressions.

Although the situation was strange, the three people present were no ordinary individuals. Within seconds, they figured out the hidden circumstances of this matter.

“No wonder nobody except Baiyang and Zhichun knows about this…” Jiang Ruoxue murmured. “At that time… you were also there?”

“I…” Yun Shiyi was stunned. “That’s right… I was at the scene. This matter is too absurd. Sixth Sister… if ‘Extreme Path’ wants to die, let them go ahead, but ‘Cat’ cannot.”

After hearing this, Zhou Liu didn’t speak, only silently touching her ear stud.

“Sixth Sister… if you don’t agree, I can only go find Fifth Brother right now,” Yun Shiyi said. “I’ve always respected you very much, and you’ve never done anything detrimental to ‘Cat,’ so if you abandon this now, I can help conceal your identity. I’ll treat this incident as if it never happened.”

Seeing Yun Shiyi’s resolute appearance, even Chen Junnan felt nervous for Zhou Liu, but both Jiang Ruoxue and Zhou Liu looked completely calm.

“What, what’s…?” Yun Shiyi said. “Sixth Sister, what do you mean by looking at me like this?”

“Tsk, Nineteen…” Zhou Liu said indifferently. “In your view, I’m a ‘spy,’ a person preparing to lead the entire ‘Cat’ to their deaths…”

“Isn’t that the case…?”

“But Fifth Brother has known all along,” Zhou Liu said. “He’s always known my identity. I’ve never hidden it from him.”

“What…?”

“So you can go tell him if you want,” Zhou Liu added. “After all, when ‘Extreme Path’ launches their plan, it will also be the moment ‘Cat’ executes their final plan.”
