Let them offer their loyalty

It’s better than doing nothing, right?

There is no hope over there, so naturally all that is left is our own.

Ji Yeling should be able to notice it sitting in this position.

But you can't ask directly, you have to ask indirectly.

The communication was quickly connected.

"Hey?"

Ji Yeling sat in the dim room. Her figure looked a little tired under the light, her eyelids were heavy, and the atmosphere in the room was dull, with only the ticking of the clock and her slow and rhythmic breathing intertwined.

Ji Yeling frowned slightly, with a barely perceptible drowsiness and a hint of impatience in her voice: "Yehua, what's the matter?"

"Ms. Ji, I have something I want to tell you......"

Ye Hua's voice came from the communication. Although Ji Yeling's eyes were a little dazed, her mind was quickly analyzing Ye Hua's previous words and her attitude. She knew that Ye Hua was a capable subordinate, but some of his recent actions really made her too dissatisfied. This was one of the reasons why she decided to transfer Ye Hua back to Longcheng.

I guess the reason he called me this time is to talk about the Yueqian incident, right?

So annoying.

"I understand." Ji Yeling interrupted Ye Hua, a hint of fatigue in her voice: "I have heard your opinion before. Now, follow my orders and prepare to return to Dragon City. I don't want to hear any more excuses."

"No, Ms. Ji, I'm not here to report anything about Yue Qian."

She took a deep breath to calm herself down, then slowly said, "Miss Ji, I understand your considerations, and I agree to return to Dragon City."

Ji Ye Ling was silent for a moment, as if evaluating Ye Hua's answer, and then she said: "Very good, Ye Hua, I know this may be a big sacrifice for you, but the organization needs you now, and I have never doubted your loyalty to the Swordsman."

Ji Yeling's voice came through the communicator, calm as water, without any ripples. Her words were concise and direct, without any emotional fluctuations.

However, although her tone remained calm, there was a smile on her face that seemed unable to completely conceal her inner emotions. The smile lingered at the corners of her mouth, spreading to her entire face from time to time, making it difficult to tell what she was really thinking, and the corners of her mouth twitched from time to time.

"Yehua, I see your efforts." Ji Yeling's voice was full of praise: "But now, I need you to return to Dragon City. This is the best arrangement for you and this mission."

"Yes, Miss Ji, I know about this."

Ye Hua responded on the other end of the communicator, and Ji Ye Ling's smile became more obvious at this time, almost hanging on his face.

Oh fuck, finally!

at last!

God knows what she has been through in all these days. Her ears are about to be damaged by these two people! Now one of these two people is finally willing to back down, so she doesn't have to worry about this kind of thing!

Like!

However, what she didn't know was.

Ye Hua knew clearly in her heart that Ji Yeling was not satisfied with her recent behavior. She knew that Ji Yeling's decisions were generally based on mission priority, and some of her actions had obviously touched Ji Yeling's sensitive nerves. She knew that at this time, any protest or excuse would be futile.

Therefore, when Ji Yeling's calm but unquestionable command came from the communicator, Ye Hua did not hesitate and she immediately expressed her obedience.

Ye Hua's voice revealed obedience, however, in his heart, Ye Hua was quickly calculating his next move.

She knew that only by making Ji Yeling feel at ease first would she have the opportunity to obtain the information that was crucial to her at a more appropriate time and in a more clever way.

She casually mentioned the database to Ji Yeling: "Ms. Ji, when I was looking through the database, I found that the information was a bit confusing. I was wondering if we should arrange for someone to reorganize the database?"

Ji Yeling was silent for a moment, as if thinking about Ye Hua's suggestion: "You mean, the information in the database is too messy and affects efficiency?"

"That's right, Miss Ji." Ye Hua's tone was doubtful, as if he was just worried: "The database is the core of our intelligence. If the information is not clear enough, it may affect our actions. I suggest that we can organize a team to be responsible for this work."

Ji Ye Ling pondered for a while on the other end of the communicator, and then replied: "Your suggestion makes sense, Ye Hua, but you know that there is a lot of sensitive information in the database, and we can't let anyone access it casually. Do you have a suitable candidate?"

"I have thought about this issue, Miss Ji." Ye Hua said slowly, "You can lead this team yourself and select a few members that the Sword Master can trust to join the team."

Ji Yeling was silent for a moment on the other end of the communicator, as if weighing the pros and cons.

Why are you suddenly bringing this up?

She thinks the database is fine? No problems?

If someone hacks in openly, the top-level firewall at the database will immediately issue a warning. It's very safe, right?

What's wrong with Ye Hua? Why has he started to become suspicious?

"We can talk about this later. Come back first."

Ye Hua took a deep breath. She knew that she had to make her request carefully and not let Ji Ye Ling realize her true intentions.

"By the way, Miss Ji, when I was checking the database, I found that some of the information seemed to be wrong. I'm worried that this may affect our actions. You'd better go and see it yourself." There was a hint of inadvertent reminder in Ye Hua's voice.

Ji Yeling was silent for a while, as if thinking about Ye Hua's words: "Something went wrong? Can you specify what the problem is?"

Ye Hua's heart tightened. She knew she couldn't say it too obviously, otherwise Ji Ye Ling would be suspicious. "I can't explain the details, Miss Ji. It's just that when I was looking through some action records, I felt that the data was inconsistent with the previous patterns. I think it would be safer for you to review this kind of thing in person."

Ji Ye Ling pondered for a while on the other end of the communicator, then replied: "I understand, Ye Hua. I will arrange time to check the database myself. You continue with your work now and report any new findings immediately.

Since there is a problem with the database, let's ask someone to take a look tomorrow.

You can't just ignore it?

"And Miss Ji, I'm a little worried." Ye Hua's voice came through the communicator: "Is there a traitor within the organization?"

Ji Ye Ling's voice came from the other end of the communicator, a little dissatisfied: "Ye Hua, what's the matter with you? The Sword Wielder strictly selects members, and everyone has been strictly examined. How could there be a traitor? It's a good thing to be vigilant, but you can't suspect your colleagues."

She felt more and more that she was right to withdraw Ye Hua's order.

Look at this child, he is really paranoid.

Why don't you suspect that she is a spy from another organization? Haha.

Ye Hua's heart sank slightly, she knew how deeply Ji Ye Ling trusted the organization, but her own intuition told her that things might not be as simple as they seemed.

"I just think that we can't completely rule out this possibility." Ye Hua responded cautiously: "After all, the enemy's methods are constantly evolving, and we should remain vigilant."

Ji Yeling's voice carried a hint of unquestionableness: "Yehua, I understand your concerns, but we cannot shake our internal unity because of groundless suspicion. If you have concrete evidence, I will take action immediately, but before there is evidence, we should trust each other."

Damn, this is really paranoid, right?

Suspicion is now directed upon the swordsman!

Ye Hua knew that no matter how much she said, she would not be able to change Ji Ye Ling's mind. If she said more, Ji Ye Ling might get suspicious. She could only nod and respond, "I understand, Miss Ji, I will continue to pay attention, and if there are any suspicious signs, I will report to you immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Hua slowly exhaled.

Ye Hua's despair grew stronger and stronger. She realized that there was a more powerful and mysterious organization in Dragon City, which was controlling everything in Dragon City behind the scenes. Even the Sword Wielder Organization was under its influence. This organization was like an invisible hand, quietly guiding the development of events, and she could not touch its true face. This feeling of being the only one sober while everyone else is drunk, and being unable to change anything, was really too bad.

She tried to find clues but failed every time. The organization's confidentiality was impeccable. Their action plans and members' identities were hidden beyond belief. Ye Hua felt as if she was groping in the dark, and every time she reached out her hand she could only grasp nothingness.

Ji Yeling didn't know anything and was probably still feeling happy that she had obeyed her orders, but I was...

Totally unable to sleep.

Chapter 617: Long Cheng seems to be getting really anxious

In the dim room, there was only a desk lamp emitting a faint light. The atmosphere was depressing and quiet. Ye Hua sat at the table, her figure looking lonely under the light. In the corner of the room, shadows and light intertwined, forming a hazy atmosphere.

Various documents were scattered on the table, and the data on the screen flashed from time to time. Her eyes were deep, as if she was thinking deeply, with thoughts flashing in her eyes.

The silence was all around, broken only by Ye Hua's gentle breathing and the sound of knocking.

"So, what is this..."

Ye Hua stared at the deep night sky outside the window. The moonlight outside the window shone into the room through the thin curtains, interweaving with the light of the table lamp, adding a bit of mystery to the dim room.

She looked around. In the dim room, only the old desk lamp emitted a faint light. Her mood became even heavier.

She recalled the mysterious organization mentioned by Jonas. As the investigation deepened, her fear of this organization continued to grow. She knew that the power and influence of this organization might be far beyond her imagination. They were quietly controlling many things in Dragon City and might even infiltrate the core of the Sword Wielder organization.

The entire Dragon City may be under their control.

Ye Hua sat at the table, tapping his fingers unconsciously, his eyes flashing with complex emotions: "How deep are the roots of this organization?"

She said to herself, her voice trembling unconsciously: "What do they want?"

Her thoughts began to drift away, and she thought of the senior whom she had yet to meet. The senior had warned her that the power and influence of this organization was far beyond what she could easily resist. This was definitely not an exaggeration, and that person had not exaggerated the danger in the slightest.

Ye Hua felt a chill running down her spine. She knew that she was now fighting against a huge shadow, and the true face of this shadow was far from being fully revealed. She was alone and weak, and even she might not be able to fight against this organization.

"Calm down, Yehua..."

She exhaled and stared at the information on the screen again, trying to find any useful clues.

"No matter how terrifying this organization is, I must expose its true face." Ye Hua whispered, her voice revealing her unyielding spirit: "For Dragon City."

First, let’s go through it from the beginning.

She whispered to herself, "As the leader of the Sword Bearers, how could Ji Yeling be unaware of the abnormality in the database? Did she conceal it on purpose? Or does she have a deeper intention?"

Ye Hua stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the night outside. Her mind was complicated, and her thoughts were like snowflakes flying all over the sky, unable to settle down. She took a deep breath and tried to sort out her thoughts.

She whispered: "If Ji Yeling really knew everything, then why didn't she take action? Is there some difficulty that she can't tell others? Or..."

Ye Hua was in deep thought, with doubts lingering in her heart. She returned to the table, sat down, tapping the table lightly with her fingers, with a complicated look in her eyes.

She originally had infinite respect and trust for Ji Yeling, but as the investigation deepened, she had to begin to re-evaluate Ji Yeling's position and motives.

"Why did Ji Yeling do this and pretend not to see the abnormality in the database? Is she really doing this for the benefit of Longcheng, or... is there another reason?" Ye Hua asked herself, her voice echoing in the empty room, sounding particularly heavy.

She began to recall her past interactions with Ji Yeling. Every meeting and every conversation, Ye Hua tried to find some clues, some clues that could explain Ji Yeling's behavior, but the more she thought about it, the more confused she became.

No matter what, Ji Yeling's behavior seems normal, right?

Is there really something wrong with my typing?

Ye Hua sighed and shook his head gently: "I can't ignore these things because of my respect for Miss Ji. The most important thing now is to find the truth."

"But Ji Yeling acted as if she knew nothing." Ye Hua muttered to himself, his thoughts expanding: "With this attitude, is she deliberately covering up something? Or... is she really unaware? No, but she happened to be in that position, she must be able to detect these things, which is completely inconsistent with what I thought..."

Her thoughts raced, trying to analyze the problem from all angles: "If we start to suspect from a more daring perspective, we can speculate that Ji Yeling might even be related to that mysterious organization. In this way, her behavior seems to have an explanation... But such speculation is too dangerous and too bold."

Ye Hua stood up and began to pace around the room. Her mood became increasingly heavy. "But if this is true, then the entire Sword Wielder organization may be under the control of this mysterious organization. I must be very careful. Any wrong judgment may lead to disastrous consequences."

She stopped and took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. "No matter what, if I want to prove this, I must find evidence and not let my personal emotions affect my judgment. This is a matter of great importance to the safety of the entire organization and even Dragon City."

Ye Hua sat back in his chair again and began to carefully sort out Ji Ye Ling's behavior and the information in the database: "I need more information to make a correct judgment."

Ye Hua sat in a dim room, the database interface projected on the screen in front of her. Her eyes revealed complex emotions. Her respect and trust for Ji Ye Ling over the years made her unwilling to think in the worst possible way, and she tried to find other reasonable explanations.

"Maybe Ji Yeling really knows something." Ye Hua murmured to herself, with a hint of confusion and uneasiness in her voice, "But maybe she has her own difficulties. The time is not right, and she can't act rashly. Maybe this organization is deeply rooted and it may be difficult to eradicate it in a short time."

Pulled around and moved the whole body.

If some of the members of this organization are dealt with in advance, it might have the effect of alerting the enemy.

That's why Ji Yeling pretended not to know.

Is this all I can think of for now?

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to organize her thoughts: "Over the years, Ji Yeling has always been a wise leader. If she really knew, then her silence might be out of consideration for protecting the overall interests of the organization."

Ye Hua opened her eyes. Although she had doubts in her heart, she decided to continue to trust Ji Ye Ling. At least before there was solid evidence, she would not make these outrageous guesses.

"But I still have to continue my investigation. No matter what, I need to find out the true identity of this mysterious organization and understand their activities in Dragon City. This way, I can provide the Sword Holder and Ji Yeling with the necessary information to help her make the most correct decision. If the Sword Holder can't handle it, then let someone higher up do it."

At this critical moment, Ye Hua felt unprecedented pressure. After thinking that Ji Yeling might also be a member of the mysterious organization, she clearly realized that the more Ji Yeling wanted to withdraw her mission, the more abnormal the situation showed. This abnormal move made Ye Hua more convinced that her investigation was touching on some sensitive truths, truths that even Ji Yeling might not want to face.

Ye Hua was lost in thought, her fingers tapping unconsciously on the table.

"If Ji Yeling is really the organizer, then Ji Yeling is undoubtedly telling me that I am on the right path." Ye Hua said to herself, with a hint of uneasiness in her voice: "In this case, I should persist, even if it means disobeying orders."

She stood up, walked to the window, and stared at District 25 under the night sky. She knew that the decision she was about to make would be full of risks, which might put her at odds with the organization or even put her in danger. However, in order to uncover the truth behind the scenes, for the future of the Sword Wielder Organization and Dragon City, she was willing to take it all.

"No matter what Ji Yeling's true intention is, I can't stop. I must continue my investigation and uncover this mystery."

She returned to the table and began to replan her actions.

"If I disobey orders, I may lose everything, but for the sake of the truth, I am willing to pay this price. If you want to deal with me, then wait until later."

At this critical moment, she realized that her actions must be more cautious and precise. She knew clearly in her mind that the possibility of continuing the investigation could only be found in areas that had not yet been completely infiltrated by the mysterious organization.

District 25 is relatively independent and is not part of Dragon City. The management here may not be completely influenced by the mysterious organization.

"District 25... No matter how powerful that organization is, it is impossible for them to completely control both sides." Ye Hua whispered, her voice revealing determination: "This will be my new starting point. I must find clues here and uncover the secrets hidden behind Dragon City."

Ye Hua knew that this might be her last chance and she couldn't make any mistakes.

After making a plan, Ye Hua took a deep breath, stood up and closed the database.

She was clearly aware that if she continued to stay in Dragon City, she would have almost no chance of winning against the mysterious and powerful organization. The influence and deep-rooted power of this organization seemed to have penetrated every corner of Dragon City, including those areas she once thought were safe.
