Lin Duo'er was assigned a mission.
The mission was to go to prison to counsel a woman. Ostensibly, it was counseling, but in reality, it was to observe the woman's behavior for any anomalies.
After all, the guards in the dungeon were mostly male members, making it inconvenient to get too close.
For ease of observation, Lin Duo'er was sent in under the guise of a prisoner, so the target would let down her guard.
Twice a month, two people would be interrogated, and at those times, Lin Duo'er could report her undercover findings.
Lin Duo'er looked excitedly at Tian Jing, "Captain Tian, am I... am I now a member of the special skills team?"
Tian Jing: "..." I wish it wasn't you. If so, you might actually have some use.
"It's not easy to become a member of the special skills team, but if you can contribute to the team, there are bonuses or prizes."
"Thank you!"
Lin Duo'er thanked her and happily accepted the mission.
Only after Lin Duo'er was locked in the dungeon did Tian Jing feel somewhat relieved.
She asked Zeng Jingrong to prepare her documents and passport, and to select a few team members for her. She planned to go to the United States to take a look.
Zeng Jingrong was concerned, "A few team members won't be enough. Don't rush. I'm keeping the strongest fighters here. Once Ranran, Lu Shi, and Hao Hao all return, I'll arrange more personnel for you."
Tian Jing nodded, "Then prepare them first."
...
In the secretary's office on the second floor, Tian Jing saw Xuan Xuan and Yao Yao leaning next to Wan Ting as she stood at the doorway. She smiled,
"Xuan Xuan, your great aunt is studying, why are you leaning so close?"
Xuan Xuan turned and saw her grandmother, then tugged on her great aunt's hand, "Grandma is here, you should spend time with Grandma."
Li Wan Ting smiled sheepishly at Jiang Lin and got up to leave the secretary's office.
Xuan Xuan and Yao Yao held hands and called for Xiao Xiao Hei to leave with them.
Entering the office, Tian Jing asked Li Wan Ting to rest in the lounge, but Li Wan Ting said she wasn't tired.
Xuan Xuan also asked her to go in and rest, saying she would call her out later.
Li Wan Ting reluctantly agreed to the little girl.
After Li Wan Ting entered the lounge, Xuan Xuan waved to her grandmother, signaling her to squat down.
Tian Jing smiled and squatted down, then heard her granddaughter whisper in her ear, "I saw Aunt Jiang suddenly stick out her leg when my great aunt was walking."
Boom!
It was as if a thunderclap exploded in Tian Jing's ears. Was it Jiang Lin?
If so, wasn't Wan Ting being sent into the mouth of a tiger?
Tian Jing turned to her granddaughter with a solemn expression, "Really?"
Xuan Xuan pointed at Yao Yao, "Yao Yao saw it too."
Yao Yao blinked her eyes. What did she see?
Xuan Xuan whispered, "Yao Yao, did you see Aunt Jiang suddenly stick out her leg?"
Yao Yao nodded, "She pulled it back and apologized to Sister Wan Ting."
Tian Jing abruptly stood up, "Xuan Xuan, stay with your great aunt."
"Okay."
...
Tian Jing walked out of the room and her gaze immediately fell on the secretary's office facing the staircase. As she turned, her eyes landed on the banister by the stairs...
Tian Jing went to the surveillance room again.
As expected, the surveillance footage couldn't capture the curved corner of the banister by the stairs.
If oil were poured down from there, it would land on the first step.
Tian Jing dialed Zeng Jingrong's number and asked him to contact the team member who had spoken with Lin Duo'er as soon as possible.
Zeng Jingrong asked what had happened.
Tian Jing sent Xuan Xuan and Yao Yao's words to Zeng Jingrong via text message.
At the end of the workday in the evening, Jiang Lin was called to the surveillance room by Zeng Jingrong. He pointed to the footage of Lin Duo'er and asked her what she had called Lin Duo'er for.
Jiang Lin denied it, "I didn't ask her to come."
Zeng Jingrong looked at Jiang Lin with disappointment, "Why? Is it really just jealousy that makes you do such wicked things? I personally selected you to join."
"I didn't," Jiang Lin still denied it.
Zeng Jingrong roared with heartache, "Wang Huan overheard your conversation with Lin Duo'er. You asked Lin Duo'er to come get imported lipstick."
"After Lin Duo'er entered, she met a team member who told her she couldn't go to the administrative floor. She said you told her to come."
"You also lent Yulia the mop, and you asked her to bring it back upstairs. It was you who called her up in the stairwell, so the duty member let her in. It was also when you were talking to her in the stairwell that she saw the oil stain on the first step."
Jiang Lin's expression changed, "I... I..."
"Why?"
Tian Jing walked in with Li Wan Ting, "How much resentment do you have to vent on an innocent life?"
Seeing the anger on Tian Jing's face, Jiang Lin sneered, "Heh, and you talk to me about innocence?"
"How many families in Kyoto went bankrupt because of your selfish actions? Who isn't innocent?"
Tian Jing didn't feel guilty at all when the families in Kyoto were mentioned, because none of them were innocent. "But your surname is Jiang."
"Yes! My surname is Jiang!"
Jiang Lin shouted, "Jiang Yuanzhu is my distant aunt."
Tian Jing shook her head, "I didn't deal with the Jiang family."
Jiang Lin nodded, "Yes, you didn't. But Li Weiyan and Li Weihao did."
"Not either."
Tian Jing still shook her head, "After Wan Ting and Wan Zhen both joined my Li family, I couldn't possibly make their mothers difficult. After all, Old Master Li felt guilty towards his second son and eldest grandson."
"If I suppressed the Jiang family, Li Chengzhi would lack support, which would be equivalent to destroying the entire Li family. I also advised Li Weiyan and Li Weihao this way."
"Whoever you heard your information from, you've become their pawn."
"Impossible!"
Jiang Lin didn't believe she had become someone's pawn, "If not you, then who?"
"It was me."
A young man walked in from outside the door.
Jiang Lin was surprised, "Mai Xingyang?"
Mai Xingyang nodded, "Jiang Yuanzhu used me as a pawn. How could I let the Jiang family off? She wanted me to deal with the Li family, and Captain Tian endured the Jiang family with great patience."
"Impossible, impossible."
Jiang Lin clutched her head and squatted down, "Impossible. In order to avenge the Jiang family, I sacrificed my future. My cousin couldn't have lied to me, it's impossible."
Tian Jing secretly shook her head. Fortunately, this woman didn't marry into the Li family.
...
Mai Xingyang trailed behind Tian Jing and Li Wan Ting, "Captain Tian, I'm sorry."
Tian Jing turned, "Did your father not beat you when you went on leave?"
"No."
Mai Xingyang smiled, "My father praised me for being mature."
"Mature?"
Tian Jing raised an eyebrow, "You ruined the future hopes of my in-laws' father, and you almost caused me to lose a grandson. Is this the manifestation of your maturity?"
"Uh..."
Mai Xingyang scratched his head, "I... I just couldn't stand it."
Tian Jing shook her head, "You're stupid, and you have such a well-known perverted weakness. You deserve to be tricked."
Mai Xingyang drooped his head, "Then should I help the Jiang family rise again?"
Tian Jing pulled Li Wan Ting and continued walking, "Decide for yourself what to do. Aren't you mature now?"
Mai Xingyang continued to follow Tian Jing, "Captain Tian, I heard Xuan Xuan is here. Can I... can I go play with her?"
"No."
Tian Jing replied without turning back, "Your reputation is not good, especially when it comes to playing. Xuan Xuan is here to learn martial arts. She already has friends, and she doesn't have time to play with you."
Mai Xingyang immediately asked, "Who?"
"Captain Zeng's daughter, Zeng Yao."
"Ah?"
Mai Xingyang scratched his head again, "Zeng Yao is a capable young girl. If Xuan Xuan plays with her, she'll be bullied."
"Impossible, Yao Yao is Xuan Xuan's aunt."
"How is that defined? It's so confusing!"
"That's why I say you have strong limbs and a simple mind."
"Captain Tian, can you stop following me?"
"Impossible. Not only will I never forget what you did, but the Si Ji brothers won't either. They train diligently every day precisely to protect their sister and drive away bad guys."
"Xuan Xuan said I'm not a bad guy."
Tian Jing stopped helplessly and said to the person behind her, "Can you please stop following me?"
Mai Xingyang shook his head, "I want to see Xuan Xuan. If she drives me away, I'll stay away from her."
