Chapter 517: Offering a Great Gift
And then, Anying just smiled faintly and then bowed deeply to each of them with great respect.
"Hello, I am Anying,"
"Good, Anying, not bad at all. Just hearing the name, I can tell you must be an expert in surveillance. Come, sit down and let's talk."
Guo Tao seemed quite natural, then he pointed to a spot, and following that, Ye Chen went with Anying to that place.
"There's no need to be nervous. Actually, the old man is quite amiable. I was a bit nervous the first time I met him too, so you really don't have to be."
"Heh, I'm not nervous, and besides, I believe I understand the old man better than you do."
"Oh, really? Then tell me, how much exactly do you understand?"
Suddenly, Guo Tao seemed interested. After all, Anying had been his adversary before, and he was keen to know how much information he had on Yang Da.
In the end, Anying stood up and began to recount in detail everything about Guo Tao from his childhood to the present, without missing a beat in her narration.
Ye Chen was genuinely stunned, his eyes wide with amazement as he looked at Anying.
He felt that in this moment, this woman had suddenly become very terrifying.
A woman who could remember someone else's life so precisely was certainly not simple.
When Guo Tao heard this, he merely nodded in satisfaction because it had been a long time since anyone had narrated his personal history with such detail. It felt to him like listening to a memoir.
As if his entire life had been thoroughly documented, with not a single detail omitted.
After listening, he looked up at Anying.
"Is that everything?"
"Yes, that's everything."
After saying this, Guo Tao nodded then lifted his wrist to check the time. The details he had stood up to recount had taken a full 20 minutes.
Summarizing his entire life in 20 minutes was certainly quite rushed, but he managed to do a comprehensive job.
"Heh, very good, you did well. There are many things from the past that even I can't remember anymore, but you've managed to recount them in full. Impressive. Besides me then, who else among those present do you know?"
Anying looked around; she was fairly familiar with everyone seated, except her knowledge about Ye Chen wasn't very clear.
"Besides him, including this one named Ada and this one named Li Fu, I remember the details of both your backgrounds very well. How about it, would you like me to share with you?"
Li Fu waved his hand after hearing this.
"Alright, we've already seen what you're capable of, so there's no need to recite all that here. But do you know why you didn't manage to find Ye Chen's information?"
Anying frowned slightly and shook her head softly.
"At that time, when the upper levels distributed the information, there were only a few brief words about Ye Chen. We, the team members, found it strange too. Usually, when we're supposed to follow someone, the information would be highly detailed, at least a few dozen pages thick."
"Right, that's because Ye Chen has been specially protected by us, so his information is not accessible to anyone, including myself. My memory of his past isn't very clear either, but this is the greatest protection for him."
"Perhaps that's the case. I had thought about it before, that he might be the most difficult subject to investigate, so when Ye Chen went out this time, the upper levels directly assigned me to the task."
"So you mean to say that among all these covert agents, you'd be considered one of the formidable ones, right? Otherwise, they wouldn't have entrusted such an important task to you."
"Well, you could say that. But I can't say I'm the absolute best. At least among the surveillance personnel who infiltrated in this batch, I should count as one of the more capable ones."
"How many of you entered here altogether?"
"Roughly, fewer than 50 people. We all have different tasks, and we don't gather together, so I'm just making a rough estimate that each person should fall within this number."
"And how about those monitoring the hotel now?"
"Ah, right, if you hadn't mentioned it, I would have totally forgotten. Since I have genuinely decided to side with you, I must present you with a big gift."
Saying that, Anying suddenly turned around, stealthily pulling out a blueprint from her bosom, which seemed to be hidden deeply, probably in her most concealed spot.
Indeed, Ye Chen was taken aback; for all the time he had spent with her, he had no idea she had been concealing something like this.
Finally, he unfolded the blueprint and laid it open completely.
They saw that it was a floor plan of the hotel, with black triangles marked at regular intervals.
"Do you see these triangles?"
"Yes."
"These triangles represent the positions where our people are hidden. One triangle for each person. Now, the surroundings of this hotel are tightly monitored by us, which means you have no escape routes, neither to heaven nor earth."
"Heh, interesting. I didn't expect Yang Da to be so generous, deploying so many people. I guess there must be around 30 people now, right?"
"About that. But we've suffered some losses in our group this time. Once they're compromised, they won't return here, so strictly speaking, there should be fewer than 30 now."
"Alright, I got it, Ada."
After finishing his statement, the old man looked up and called out, at which point Ada walked over directly from another side.
"Old man, what do you need?"
