Chapter 461 Ulterior Motives

Seeing this brought up, Hei Meigui appeared somewhat indignant.

"They're simply shameless!"

"The mission is already in its final stages, and they want to snatch the person away?"

"Dream on!"

It was evident that Hei Meigui was quite angry.

She hadn't even bothered to control her volume.

The few people inside the tent were all martial artists.

Naturally, they overheard Hei Meigui's words.

Zhou Yu smiled awkwardly. "Since Leng Xue is busy, I'll just wait then."

Although Hei Meigui had spoken with absolute certainty,

Zhou Yu felt that things might not be so straightforward!

The Martial Arts Association wasn't foolish.

If they dared to demand the person at this juncture, they must have some leverage.

Perhaps this time, Leng Xue might truly suffer a significant loss!

However, Zhou Yu wasn't part of the special forces.

Whether An Ying was taken away or not didn't concern him much.

With An Ying gone, he wouldn't need to be confined to this temporary camp.

Just as Zhou Yu was about to leave,

Leng Xue suddenly spoke from inside the tent.

"Is that Divine Doctor Zhou outside?"

Hei Meigui immediately replied, "Yes, Commander Leng. Divine Doctor Zhou said the truth serum has been developed and asked when you would be free."

Leng Xue curved her lips and gave an order. "Please invite Divine Doctor Zhou in."

Hei Meigui hesitated.

But this was Leng Xue's command!

Obeying orders was already instinctual for these special forces members.

So, with a stern face, she extended her hand. "Divine Doctor Zhou, Commander Leng has ordered you to come in."

Zhou Yu stopped in his tracks and twitched his lips.

He had only come to watch the excitement, yet he was being summoned inside.

Looking at Hei Meigui's expression,

It seemed as though everyone wanted to get involved in this matter!

Without giving Zhou Yu a chance to refuse, Lin Weidong from inside the tent also called out an invitation for Zhou Yu to enter.

Now, Zhou Yu had no choice but to go in.

He lifted the soundproof curtain of the tent.

Instantly, all eyes inside focused on Zhou Yu.

Leng Xue, with a composed demeanor, introduced him to the person opposite her.

"This is the Divine Doctor Zhou I mentioned earlier."

"Previously, the mouths of the other seven martial artists were only opened with the truth serum developed by Divine Doctor Zhou."

"Now, Divine Doctor Zhou has developed an advanced version of the truth serum, and it's likely only a matter of time before An Ying speaks!"

"President Guo, thank you for making this trip, but it seems it will be in vain."

After speaking, Leng Xue smiled a smile that was not quite a smile.

Zhou Yu smoothly walked to Leng Xue and Lin Weidong's side and slowly took a seat.

President Guo stared at Zhou Yu, his eyes unfathomable, revealing no discernible emotion.

Only after Leng Xue finished speaking,

Did President Guo burst into laughter.

Stroking his beard, he said to Leng Xue, "Commander Leng, you don't need to be hostile towards me."

"It's mainly because An Ying has been captured for so long without confessing, and those above are anxious!"

"Since the truth serum has been developed, we can try it out first."

Try and you'll die!

President Guo believed that if An Ying could be so easily fooled,

He wouldn't have been captured for so long without any progress.

His plan was to take the person away once the truth serum proved ineffective.

At that point, even Leng Xue would have no grounds to object!

Leng Xue gritted her teeth but remained silent.

What she had said earlier was merely an attempt to dissuade President Guo.

In reality, she hadn't seen the effectiveness of the latest truth serum developed by Zhou Yu.

If she agreed now,

And the truth serum proved useless,

She would have to hand over the person even if she didn't want to!

Thinking this, Leng Xue looked at Zhou Yu, her eyes asking a question.

Zhou Yu found it inexplicable and looked at Leng Xue a couple more times.

To Leng Xue, this glance was interpreted as a look of affirmation.

Leng Xue immediately relaxed and said to President Guo, "That's acceptable. It's only right for President Guo to see it himself."

After speaking, Leng Xue turned her head to Zhou Yu. "Divine Doctor Zhou, can An Ying be administered the truth serum now?"

It was already past noon, approaching the afternoon.

Based on normal recovery rates, An Ying's injuries were likely almost healed.

Zhou Yu naturally nodded.

"Let's all take a look together and see how effective the truth serum newly developed by Divine Doctor Zhou is."

As Leng Xue spoke, she stood up first.

The others followed suit.

Zhou Yu was utterly bewildered!

Leng Xue had always addressed him by his full name.

This was the first time she had referred to him as "Divine Doctor" repeatedly.

Zhou Yu feared a trap!

However, Leng Xue paid no mind to Zhou Yu's cautious thoughts.

She had already lifted her foot and led the way.

President Guo and his entourage followed them out of the tent.

Only Lin Weidong lagged behind, walking alongside Zhou Yu.

"Divine Doctor Zhou, how confident are you in the new truth serum?" Lin Weidong whispered.

Zhou Yu blinked and held up three fingers.

Lin Weidong gasped!

"Only thirty percent?"

"If An Ying refuses to confess later, the person will be taken away by the Martial Arts Association!"

Lin Weidong was frantic.

He blamed Leng Xue for agreeing too quickly, while also feeling that Zhou Yu hadn't given Leng Xue any hint.

This led Leng Xue to agree so readily.

"If they take him, they take him. Isn't it fine if they can make An Ying confess?"

"If they also can't do anything about An Ying, they'll have to send him back to the Dragon Group anyway."

Zhou Yu said indifferently.

It wasn't his credit being stolen, and the matter didn't concern him much!

Lin Weidong shook his head. "The special forces have worked hard for so long, and Leng Xue risked her life to severely damage the An Ying organization."

"Now is the time to reap the rewards, and suddenly someone comes to pick the fruit. Anyone would be displeased!"

"Besides, I suspect the Martial Arts Association has ulterior motives."

Zhou Yu immediately pricked up his ears.

He understood not wanting credit stolen.

But what made him say the Martial Arts Association had ulterior motives?

Lin Weidong looked ahead at President Guo and his group, who had already walked a considerable distance.

He then leaned closer to Zhou Yu's ear and lowered his voice.

"Earlier, when we deciphered the codenames on the ledger, we discovered a symbol that bore a strong resemblance to the Martial Arts Association's emblem!"

"So Commander Leng suspects that the Martial Arts Association might have already been secretly trading with the An Ying organization."

This time, by taking An Ying away,

In front of the special forces and the Dragon Group, the Martial Arts Association might not dare to let An Ying go.

But with An Ying in their hands, they could completely kill him and silence him forever!

This was what Leng Xue and Lin Weidong were most worried about.

They feared that in the end, all their efforts would be in vain.

Zhou Yu's expression also turned serious.

If the Martial Arts Association and the Dragon Group were on the same side, it would be fine.

After all, they both wanted to eliminate the An Ying organization, and Zhou Yu didn't care whose credit it was.

But if the Martial Arts Association had other intentions,

That would not be acceptable!
