Chen Junnan still wanted to stop Qi Xia, but saw that he had already walked to the “Preparation Area” door.

Qi Xia suddenly thought of something. His hand paused as he was about to open the door, then he turned his head to look at Qiao Jiajin and Han Yimo.

After a brief hesitation, he walked to the two of them and gave Han Yimo a meaningful look. Han Yimo immediately understood, laying Qiao Jiajin flat before stepping aside.

With his back facing Han Yimo, Qi Xia reached into Qiao Jiajin’s pocket and took out the “Scholar” piece. Then he exchanged it with the “Fire” piece he had obtained from Lawyer Zhang in his own pocket, putting the “Fire” back and keeping the “Scholar” for himself.

Qi Xia felt that the “Scholar” piece Qiao Jiajin had risked his life to bring back would very likely trigger a butterfly effect, allowing them to take a huge step toward “victory.”

“Chen Junnan, there’s one more thing I need to tell you…”

“Go ahead.”

“Do you still have those extra chains? Let me use them.”

“Fuck, I’ve got plenty of chains! Just wait a sec!”

Chen Junnan lowered his head and pulled out a bunch of chains from his pocket, handing them to Qi Xia. Qi Xia nodded and was about to say something when he turned his head and saw Han Yimo nearby. The words on the tip of his tongue hesitated.

He was always worried that he was overthinking things, listing solutions for events that would never happen.

But at this point, being cautious was necessary. Even if there was only a one percent chance, they couldn’t afford any mistakes at this moment.

“Chen Junnan.” Qi Xia looked at him. “Privately.”

When Chen Junnan heard “privately,” he immediately understood Qi Xia’s meaning. He walked up to him in a few steps and leaned his ear forward.

Qi Xia took the opportunity to whisper a few words, and Chen Junnan’s expression gradually became more animated.

“Good that you understand.” Qi Xia said. “If this really happens, just adapt to the situation and do whatever you want.”

“I was afraid you’d tell me to hold back.” Chen Junnan said. “Don’t worry, Old Qi. I’ll watch this place for you. Go ahead and do what you need to do. If anything goes wrong, I’ll bring you Little Han’s head.”

Han Yimo: “Huh?”

“I’m counting on you.” Qi Xia nodded. “I’ll go and come right back.”

He opened the door to confirm no one was there, then left the “Preparation Area” directly.

Chen Junnan took a deep breath. Just as he was about to walk to the screen, he noticed Han Yimo had been staring at him.

Since Han Yimo’s gaze was so strange, Chen Junnan became interested. He walked over, squatted down, and looked at him with a smile on his face.

“What, what’s wrong?” Han Yimo asked.

“Nothing.” Chen Junnan replied.

“Noth-nothing, then why are you staring at me?”

“Don’t be afraid, Little Han.” Chen Junnan said. “Nothing’s wrong. I just find you quite interesting, so I came over to take a good look at you.”

“Nothing’s wrong…?” Han Yimo clearly didn’t believe it. “But just now Qi Xia… was it…”

“Old Qi didn’t say anything just now, he just told me a joke.” Chen Junnan stared at Han Yimo and said. “Want to hear it? It’s fucking hilarious.”

After hearing this, Han Yimo’s whole body trembled, but he quickly tried to appear calm and said: “Chen, Chen Junnan, although I don’t know what joke it was… I’ve always been on your side. You absolutely must believe me on this point.”

Chen Junnan raised his eyebrows after hearing this, feeling the situation was getting interesting indeed.

Because Qi Xia’s whispered words just now had not mentioned Han Yimo even once.

It was just that Chen Junnan noticed Han Yimo’s expression seemed unnatural after Qi Xia whispered to him, so he randomly bluffed a couple of sentences, but unexpectedly cracked the case on the spot.

Although he cracked the case… how should he judge this case?

“You really don’t want to hear that joke?” Chen Junnan asked with a smile.

“No, no thanks.” Han Yimo replied. “As long as you believe me, I’m absolutely loyal to Qi Xia, without a shred of disloyalty!”

“Haha!”

Seeing Chen Junnan laugh, Han Yimo also forced out a couple of dry laughs.

The next second, Chen Junnan instantly put away his smile. His expression became incredibly cold in an instant, and Han Yimo was so frightened that he immediately retracted his expression.

“Am I giving you too much face?” Chen Junnan asked. “You really dare to laugh with me?”

“No… that’s not… I…” Han Yimo’s face turned pale in an instant.

“Do you know why Old Qi specifically left just me and you here?” Chen Junnan asked.

“Ah…?”

“Do you know why he didn’t say those things in front of you just now?” Chen Junnan asked again.

With just two or three sentences, Han Yimo was shaking like a sieve.

Seeing this scene, Chen Junnan couldn’t help but be delighted inside. Han Yimo had basically written “I’m the mole” on his face. If even he could see it, how could Qi Xia not see it?

But since he saw it, why did he keep him…?

That’s right, this move of Qi Xia’s was really too brilliant.

Right now, although Han Yimo was saying with his mouth that he was absolutely loyal to Qi Xia, in his heart he should consider himself as someone from the other side.

Since he’s from the other side, as long as he believes “we’re going to lose,” then the other side loses.

This is a situation with a one hundred percent chance of losing, with absolutely no room for luck.

The urgent task now was to make Han Yimo even more convinced that he was someone from the other side, and absolutely not let him be loyal to Qi Xia.

So he couldn’t try to win him over, couldn’t reveal the truth, and couldn’t excessively frighten Han Yimo either.

Once Han Yimo’s fear changed from “we’re going to lose” to “I’m going to die,” this excellent weapon would be wasted.

So how could he subtly control this situation, making Han Yimo very naturally believe that he was still an undercover agent, and that this matter hadn’t been exposed?

“This method of winning is really abstract…” Chen Junnan said with a low laugh.

“What… what method of winning?”

“Who told you to ask questions?” Chen Junnan said.

“Ah… no… that’s not…” Han Yimo said. “We’re in the same boat. If there’s anything, you can tell me. I can help come up with ideas too.”

Although he said this, Han Yimo felt from the bottom of his heart that Chen Junnan’s behavior was exactly like the villains in movies, even the dialogue was identical.

He secretly sighed that he was indeed the protagonist; otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t encounter this kind of scenario.

“Yes, I know.” Chen Junnan nodded gloomily. “I’m really conflicted right now… Do you know what Old Qi just told me?”

“I, I don’t know.” Han Yimo replied.

“Really don’t know?”

“Really.”

“He said you’re a mole.” Chen Junnan said with a heavy expression. “Tell me… are you really a mole?”

“Ah?!” Han Yimo’s heart jumped. “I, how could I possibly be a mole?! Didn’t I just say! I’m absolutely loyal to Qi Xia!”

“How could I not know…?” Chen Junnan said. “Remember those seven years…? Although I was always causing trouble, there was one person who always upheld justice and criticized my behavior in every way. Who was that person?”

“Huh…?”

“No matter how many times he died, he wanted to stop me in that situation. I’ve always kept his glorious and towering figure in my heart.” Chen Junnan stood up, slowly turned his back, and said with a choked voice, “Han Yimo, tell me, who was that person?”

“No… no way… you…”

Chen Junnan sighed: “But Old Qi just told me that person is a mole… Han Yimo, tell me, what should I do?”
