You're Strong But Now You're Mine-Chapter 60: The Hidden Yin Sounds - You’re So Flirty

Perhaps due to preconceived notions, Leyu felt everything around him was odd on the way back.

Behind that wall, it seemed like a fully armed squad was hiding.

The young man at the stall appeared to have a gun hidden in his chest.

From underneath the manhole cover he stepped on, it seemed as if there were the footsteps of dozens of people.

In actuality, he hadn’t seen anything, but just imagining it made Leyu’s palms sweat.

Leyu didn’t know the specific plan White Night had to seize the city. After all, Yinyinyin was quite sensible—not revealing the secret to a mole like him at the enemy’s core. However, he knew that to conquer Starke County, several key points were unavoidable.

The City Guard Department spread throughout the city.

The County Guard Army protecting strategic locations.

And the noble divisions in the Mirror Lake District.

Ironically, forces like the Statistical Department and the Imprisonment Department could be directly ignored because they weren’t loyal to Ding Yi himself, but to the Governor—no matter who sat in that position, they could win the allegiance of most people in these departments. Even if they didn’t pledge loyalty, they wouldn’t resist.

However, the City Guard Department, the County Guard Army, and noble divisions were different. The first two were Ding Yi’s private armies, and all the leadership were Ding Yi’s confidants. If Ding Yi died, they would never submit and must be suppressed from the start.

White Night’s targets to overthrow also included the noble merchants in Mirror Lake District. Ordering them to surrender their wealth and production materials after taking over Starke County was neither aesthetically pleasing nor would it avoid turmoil.

Moreover, the nobility was already tied to Ding Yi in a war chariot. Once upheaval occurred, they would most likely deploy their divisions for support. So, it would be better to target them for elimination from the beginning—Yinyinyin might be designing this plan, and Leyu had a feeling that in Mirror Lake District, a lot of people would cleanly disappear tonight.

Additionally, weapon factories and grain warehouses must be controlled.

Considering these strategic targets, the battlefield tonight would cover almost every area of Starke County.

This calm before the storm was both thrilling and nerve-wracking for someone like Leyu, who lived in peacetime.

At this moment, a team of Statistical Department members approached from the opposite direction. Leyu’s gaze swept over and suddenly caught sight of an acquaintance.

"Director Lan?"

The person turned his head, smiled, and said, "Is it Captain Qian? I’m Mo Ming, captain of the newly formed Team Seven."

Leyu fixed his eyes and found that although this person also wore silver-rimmed glasses and had a similar hairstyle, he was indeed not Lan Yan.

Not just the captain, some members, although not wearing glasses, all had the same hairstyle as Lan Yan and carried long swords at their waists. At first glance, it seemed as if five Lan Yans were off to level up in an internet cafe.

Damn, have die-hard fans gotten this extreme nowadays!?

Leyu tapped his head, saying, "Look at me... this brain, I can even mistake people in broad daylight."

Mo Ming laughed, "It’s okay, we still have a task, so we’ll take our leave first."

Watching their backs as they left, Leyu squinted slightly. The newly established three squads of the Statistical Department, numbered six, seven, and eight in order, were specially armed combat squads, according to Chen Fu.

Although every team in the Statistical Department had combat capabilities, they usually had to investigate and capture people, leaving little time for training. Teams Six, Seven, and Eight rarely went on assignments, devoting all their energy to training weapon skills and surveying the Starke terrain. It was said these three squads’ tactical requirement was ’Urban Warfare Ghost Soldier’.

’Training such a loyal unit, Lan Yan is not that honest after all... The members even share the same hairstyle as you, and you say you aren’t planning a revolt?’

Wherever Leyu went, when others saw that he was a Statistical Department operative, the first emotion that surfaced wasn’t disgust, but envy.

The story of Lan Yan standing against the Governor to protect his subordinates had spread through every street. Although the Statistical Department had a notorious reputation, people still recognized a good superior like this, especially the Patrol Execution Guards of the Imprisonment Department. Each time Leyu made eye contact with them, he saw nothing but pure jealousy in their eyes.

Winning people’s hearts and being powerful naturally allowed Lan Yan to find many loyal subordinates and openly placed them in the Statistical Department.

However, Leyu was not worried that these three squads would have any impact on the situation. After all, they were too few in number and not very strong. In the grand scheme of things, a huge tide could not be stopped by a group of new recruits.

When Leyu returned to the slaughterhouse base, it was nearly dusk. Chen Fu saw him return and called out, "Brother Qian, I saved a portion of shredded chicken rice for you! It’s still hot!"

Leyu didn’t even need to apply for leave when he left in the afternoon, just holler at Chen Fu directly. Gotta admit, having a little brother in life makes everything more flavorful. Leyu sat down, eating and drinking tea while asking, "How’s it inside?"

Chen Fu shrugged, "What’s to say? Still the same."

The Saint’s Relic wasn’t placed on the first floor of the slaughterhouse where everyone can see it, probably on the second floor only the boss could access—even Leyu couldn’t go up, with County Guards guarding the staircase.

Thus, the progress of the Saint’s Relic unsealing could only be speculated based on past records. While it was possible it might unseal tonight, it also might not, but in any case, it was better than the Ding Family getting hold of the Saint’s Relic.

Leyu didn’t quite understand the Divine Weapon’s recognition function either, but it was said that Divine Weapons could only be used by their holders. Once the holder died, the weapon would enter a sealed state, requiring a new unsealing ceremony for it to acknowledge a new master.

In other words, the ’Zhao Yun snatching the Qinggang Sword to counter Xiahou En’ scenario couldn’t happen.

Having eaten his fill, Leyu put down his chopsticks and began practicing his combat technique in the nearby open space, while others tactfully made room. Chen Fu, ever the sycophant, occasionally offered encouraging glances that seemed to say, ’Brother Qian, you’re so diligent.’

Why did Leyu, who had resigned himself to mediocrity, suddenly start training? It all began the night he completed the ’survive 15 days’ challenge.

His initial plan was to use 3 available points to upgrade the Biting Battle Technique to intermediate, then use an eternal skill upgrade point to boost it to advanced, instantly becoming a ’Peak of Perfection’ Martial Artist.

However, dreams were beautiful, and reality was that he lacked the points.

Leyu never expected that 3 available points weren’t enough to even upgrade the Biting Battle Technique!

Using an eternal skill upgrade point to push it to intermediate felt wasteful, like gaining a whole level when he was just 30% short on experience to naturally level up.

After much thought, Leyu wondered if the points consumed to level up related to his proficiency. Would improving his skill reduce the points needed?

Raising it to intermediate could require 5 points, maybe 4, but it was within a range Leyu could meet with some effort.

Since there was no rush to show off, and his Spiritual Power had surged post-Crossing the Tribulation, giving him a false sense of ’I might make it,’ he began training in the Biting Battle Technique, hoping his efforts would reduce the intermediate upgrade cost to 3 points.

As night fell, the streetlights gradually turned on. The slaughterhouse’s lighting was comparable to the main road, and from the gate, one could see the distant County Guard Army base, ensuring prompt response if anything occurred.

Leyu glanced at the time, mentioned a ’bathroom break,’ and walked toward the back of the slaughterhouse.

Though the slaughterhouse was dark, two covert operatives were stationed nearby. Leyu approached them, clutching his belly with a sorry expression, saying, "I suddenly feel my stomach acting up again... You should head back and take a rest first."

"Alright, Captain." The operative wasn’t surprised, instead, offering concern, "Captain, you’ve been having this kind of diarrhea for days, might be a stomach issue. Do you need to see the Medical Bureau?"

Leyu had been showing up right at this time daily to ’have diarrhea,’ so none of the operatives were fazed anymore.

"The Medical Officer said it might be a mental problem," Leyu replied, making a face, "I’m the one burdening everyone..."

"Don’t say that, everyone is thankful to have Captain Qian and Director Lan," the operative consoled before leaving the post.

Leyu waited in place for a minute, heard a cooing cat call from the underbrush, and quietly replied, "Yinyinyin, you’re so cheeky."

"The correct countersign is: Is there a cute female cat here?"

Yinyinyin and Wang Zongdao emerged from the darkness, "Sticking to the plan is common sense."

Leyu pointed to the slaughterhouse’s wall and rooftop, "The second-floor windows are glass. If you want to sneak in, you’ll have to go from the roof. No problem?"

"We’ve been preparing for this for a long time."

Honest Wang Zongdao pulled out a grappling hook with rope, made a swift movement, and silently scaled the wall.

But Yinyinyin didn’t immediately follow. Facing Leyu, he said, "I thought you would run away with your sister."

"Leaving in the middle of a team fight would have people cursing my family tree," Leyu chuckled, "Besides, I’ve carried the blame for so long, I have to see how you plan to clear my name afterward."

"Don’t worry, everything will end tonight."

Having said this, Yinyinyin also climbed into the slaughterhouse. Leyu was about to leave when he noticed a figure standing in the corner, making him tighten his muscles in fright. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Upon seeing the figure’s outline clearly, Leyu instinctively blurted out:

"Chen Fu?"
