In Douluo Continent, I am the mastermind behind the scenes.

The existence of the Shadow Guards is known only to a very small number of high-ranking members of the Sea God Pavilion and the Tang Clan. They usually just monitor the unusual industries in Tianhai City, summarize the intelligence they obtain, and report any important intelligence to the headquarters of the Sea God Pavilion and the Tang Clan.

Even some high-ranking officials in the Tang Clan branch of Tianhai City were unaware of the existence of the Shadow Guards, treating their offices merely as archives.

Cai Yue'er wasn't speaking without reason. The higher one's position, the more carefully one considers things. Besides... those low-level intelligence agents are doing this job to support their families, so naturally they won't delve into intelligence that seems worthless but is actually valuable.

After having this idea, Cai Yue'er locked herself in the Shadow Guard's office and carefully went through the mountain of documents.

The amount of information was vast and the content was chaotic, but it was nothing to Cai Yue'er, a level 96 Super Douluo. Since it involved her life and fortune, she naturally had to be vigilant and not miss any opportunity to redeem herself.

After an unknown amount of time, Cai Yue'er picked up a piece of paper and fell into deep thought as she looked at the extremely ordinary event recorded on it.

"Something seems off about this."

Cai Yue'er murmured to herself, then took out her soul-guided communicator from her bosom and sent a message to Jiang Yuying.

Cai Yue'er: Could you come to the Tang Clan branch in Tianhai City?

Jiang Yuying: Cai Yue'er, are you ordering me around?

Cai Yue'er: No, I'm begging you.

Jiang Yuying: ...

Less than ten minutes later, Jiang Yuying, dressed in a burgundy dress, walked into the office of the Shadow Guard of the Tang Clan branch in Tianhai City.

Just as the doors were closing, Cai Yue'er suddenly spoke up: "Jiang Yuying, what kind of person would stay in a hotel for an extended period?"

"Living in hotels long-term?" Jiang Yuying frowned and said, "In my understanding... most of those unassuming seniors have their own manors. Even if they temporarily stay in the city, they would not choose to stay in a hotel where people come and go."

"Of course, what I just mentioned were only those older, powerful individuals who are detached from worldly desires. If it were a young Title Douluo, Super Douluo, or even a higher-level expert, they would rather stay in a hotel than spend time building a manor in the city and cultivating confidants to serve them."

"The hotel doesn't need renovation, and the top suites are fully equipped. Young people are shy and don't want anyone eavesdropping on them while they're having sex with their wives or husbands. Staying in a hotel means they don't have to worry about that. If they feel it's not safe, they can just buy the hotel."

"This is it!" Cai Yue'er slammed her hand on the table, her doubts vanishing. "I just saw some intelligence. A Tang Clan elder came to Tianhai City on business. In the evening, he arrived at the Seaview Hotel and wanted to check into the top-floor suite, but the receptionist told him that the suite had been booked by a young couple for an extended period."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuying's expression changed instantly. What kind of place was the Seaview Hotel? It was a property under the former headquarters of the Tianhai Alliance. It was very strange that a young couple could book the top suite of the Seaview Hotel for a long time!

Put yourself in her shoes. If Jiang Yuying were a high-ranking official in the Tianhai Alliance, she couldn't possibly be indifferent to a young couple who had been booking the top suite of a sea-view hotel for a long time.

That young couple... could very well be the mastermind the Sea God Pavilion is looking for!

The Tianhai Alliance may have secretly allied itself with that... no, that pair of masterminds.

This is not a good sign.

Because... they didn't know how many Tianhai Alliances the masterminds controlled.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuying and Cai Yue'er exchanged glances, both seeing a hint of fear in each other's eyes. Even though they were mentally prepared, it was difficult for them to remain calm.

"Report this to higher authorities. This is something that's beyond the capabilities of the two of us."

As she spoke, Jiang Yuying crossed her arms and sat down on the sofa in the office.

Despite saying she was going to report it, Jiang Yuying showed no intention of taking out her soul-guided communicator.

Seeing this, Cai Yue'er asked with a puzzled look, "Jiang Yuying, do you want me to report this to the Sea God Pavilion?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuying merely snorted coldly, then turned her head away, refusing to look at Cai Yue'er again.

Cai Yue'er didn't stand on ceremony and hurriedly took out her soul communication device from her bosom, sending all of their analysis to Long Yeyue.

After doing all this, Cai Yue'er rested her chin on her hands and stared intently at Jiang Yuying on the sofa.

She was very curious... Why would Jiang Yuying, who had always looked down on Cai Yue'er, take the initiative to give up this opportunity to suppress her?

Could it be that... because she gave in today, Jiang Yuying's attitude towards her changed?

If Jiang Yuying could hear Cai Yue'er's inner thoughts, she would only say one thing to Cai Yue'er: "You're overthinking it."

This is a matter of great importance. Now is not the time to claim credit, but to report the situation to the Sea God Pavilion as soon as possible.

Despite Cai Yue'er's unlikable nature, she has already gone down a dead end and her character is appalling. Apart from being loyal to the Sea God Pavilion, there is no other force that would be willing to accept her!

Everything was for the greater good; otherwise... she wouldn't have bothered coming to the Tang Clan branch to help Cai Yue'er analyze intelligence.

After an unknown amount of time, Cai Yue'er's soul-guided communicator beeped a few times. Jiang Yuying hurriedly leaned over and carefully read the reply.

After reading Long Yeyue's reply, the expressions on their faces instantly turned strange.

Long Yeyue actually instructed them to exaggerate the information and deliver the exaggerated version to Bing Muxue.

Exaggeration? Given the current situation, do they even need to exaggerate?

Even at its most glorious period, the Sea God Pavilion didn't dare to openly bribe officials of the Sun and Moon Federation. They only dared to act secretly, and when bribing officials, they would deliberately avoid certain positions. It was simply impossible for them to bring the entire Tianhai Alliance under their control like some behind-the-scenes mastermind.

If the Sun Moon Empire couldn't even tolerate the former Sea God Pavilion, how could it possibly tolerate this reckless intelligence organization?

If that's the case... then why do they need to exaggerate?

Could it be that... Long Yeyue was afraid the intelligence was wrong, so she deliberately had them say something outrageous in order to mislead the higher-ups of the Sun Moon Empire?

After some deliberation, the two decided not to follow Long Yeyue's orders. Based on Jiang Yuying's understanding of Bing Muxue, if she didn't show some genuine feelings and just kept talking nonsense, she would probably be kicked out by Bing Muxue before she could even finish speaking.
