"She really told you that?" The burly man asked, his face full of shock. Could it really be y herself?
"You know who she is?" Yu Yue became excited.
"I can tell you, as long as you tell me one thing: did she secretly help you?"
Yu Yue's expression was hesitant. Seeing this, what else did the burly man not understand? "Haha! No wonder! No wonder! I was wondering how you managed to plant explosives inside the heavily guarded base. So it was y helping from the shadows!"
"It seems she knows about that matter after all, and wants to take revenge on us! Wild Wolf, Wild Wolf, you were smart your whole life, but you made a fool of yourself in this matter!" The burly man laughed, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Explain clearly! Who exactly is she?" Yu Yue felt an extreme sense of unease.
The burly man gradually calmed down, his expression returning to normal. "You don't know her? Forget it, I'll be a good person today. Go back and look up y, and you'll know. She's the number one hacker in our Wild Wolf mercenary group!"
Yu Yue listened to his words, but her heart was in a state of extreme panic. She forced herself to run out, barely managing to greet the prison guard before rushing back home.
After resting on the sofa for a while, Yu Yue forced herself to turn on the computer and start searching for information about y online. She used a friend's hacker account to log into the dark web and inquire about y. Finally, she paid a high price to another hacker and obtained all the known information about y.
y, famous from a young age, still held the title of the number one hacker in the current dark web! No one had ever seen her face! When she was at the peak of her fame, she suddenly joined the Wild Wolf mercenary group and started working for them! Over the years, she had never failed! According to some rumors, y joined the Wild Wolf mercenary group out of gratitude, but those hackers couldn't find out the specifics.
Yu Yue looked at the information she had found, and combined with what the burly man had said, it seemed that A Yuan had been tricked into joining the Wild Wolf mercenary group. Moreover, Yu Yue suddenly remembered the details of their interactions very clearly. She had no sense of belonging to the Wild Wolf mercenary group, otherwise, she wouldn't have helped her so readily with just a few words.
Furthermore, A Yuan had even deliberately leaked information to her, guiding her to find out! Things that she had previously believed with certainty now seemed blurred. Yu Yue began to suspect that it might have been meticulously planned by her, and her appearance was just a coincidence! Otherwise, it would be difficult to accept her constant observation of the base's internal situation.
Yu Yue felt a chill in her heart. Even though she knew these were just the worst-case scenarios, she couldn't help but overthink. The mere thought that these might be true was like a knife cutting through her heart, making even the things Xing Yuan left behind seem unsightly.
Yu Yue had lost her family at a very young age. Although her comrades treated her well, she only regarded them as friends. However, despite knowing Xing Yuan for a short time, Yu Yue had already considered her family. This was probably why some people are strangers even after a lifetime, while others become close after a brief encounter.
After this incident, Yu Yue lost the desire to interrogate. She handed over her post to the professional personnel and returned to her original team to continue participating in the operation to capture the escaped members of Yi Cheng. Yu Yue felt that only by keeping busy could she forget the troubles in her mind.
Indeed, the fact was that the army she belonged to was extremely famous throughout Country Z. It was also the busiest! Since the soldiers in the unit were basically all-rounders, they were often temporarily seconded, going wherever they were needed!
Although most of the people in Yi Cheng had been apprehended, some had still escaped. Headquarters was in close contact with various regions, monitoring their movements, and carrying out arrests as soon as any clues emerged! Coupled with Country Z's border blockade, the remaining individuals could only hide like rats. At this rate, it was only a matter of time before they were caught.
Yu Yue, busy with her work, felt as if her previous experiences were just a dream. Once the dream ended, everything would cease to exist.
On the other side, after being released from the small dark room, Xing Yuan spent a few days recovering before sharpening her knives and preparing to take on the entire Wild Wolf mercenary group. In Xing Yuan's opinion, most of these mercenary groups were not good people. Even if some were initially, they would be assimilated after a few years in the mercenary group.
Therefore, Xing Yuan showed no mercy when dealing with them. After secretly contacting the organization she had secretly established over the years and rescuing some innocent people, Xing Yuan, while still appearing to be a member of the Wild Wolf mercenary group, secretly dealt heavy blows. Even so, it took Xing Yuan a full year to bring down this behemoth, not including those who escaped.
During this year, Yu Yue's life had also returned to normal. Although she still thought of that girl in her leisure time, the frequency had decreased significantly.
She was a soldier, forged in the crucible of blood and fire. Her eyes had witnessed many stories, both tragic and beautiful. Romantic love had never been a necessity for her; she had her own principles and ways of acting. But she was also human, and humans had emotions and could be swayed by feelings; this was normal.
Yu Yue had also accidentally met comrades who were undercover agents like her. Their operation had been considered successful, but many still suffered from minor psychological issues. After nearly a year there, witnessing the mercenaries' disregard for human life, ordinary people would be angry, let alone soldiers who always prioritized the safety of the people.
Yu Yue was diagnosed with a minor problem. Although not serious, she still spent a month in the military's psychological clinic. There, she saw many like her! Some had developed post-traumatic stress disorder after brutal wars. Even after recovery, they could never engage in this profession again. Some... Yu Yue even met people there whose experiences were somewhat similar to hers.
This type of person was not uncommon, and they were both male and female. Because soldiers were bound by the duty to obey orders, they had to use special methods in certain situations, such as seduction.
This was not considered a major issue, as the people they were dealing with were not good people, and sometimes it was the only way to save their lives or transmit information. However, some people could not overcome the psychological barrier, especially when their choices led to the tragic deaths of innocent people.
Yu Yue asked herself, if she had known A Yuan's identity from the beginning, what would she have done? Yes, she would have done the same as them, trying every means to defect her and make her useful to them. Because compared to herself or A Yuan, the people of Yi Cheng were more important in her heart.
Even if she felt guilty in the end, and could even sacrifice her life for A Yuan, she would never regret it!
