Chapter 355: Chapter 193 True Genius_3
It seemed to be in counterpoint to their mood, as lightning and thunder relentlessly crackled across the sky whenever they felt elated; and when they were in low spirits, the storm clouds gradually dissipated. Although the storm still raged outside, there were no longer any flashes of lightning in the dark clouds overhead.
Their goal unmet, everyone was enveloped in an immense sadness, parting ways without even discussing the division of spoils.
Zhuge Liuyun and Xiaolan sat in their own vehicle, evacuating from their previous command center. Zhuge Liuyun was preparing to drive back to the hotel where he was staying. Xiaolan said, “Liuyun, don’t rush back just yet, there’s a place we must visit now.”
Zhuge Liuyun looked around, puzzled, and asked, “Xiaolan, it’s almost midnight, and with this torrential rain, where do you want to go?”
Xiaolan did not answer his question, instead asking, “Liuyun, what was the task given to us by our superiors when we left China?”
Zhuge Liuyun answered, “I remember our superiors telling us that our official reason for coming to Paris was to assist the US side in capturing the Destroyer, but that we had another, secret mission. That was to eliminate anyone at the arrest site who was suspected of being the Destroyer or tried to snatch special items.”
Xiaolan nodded, “Exactly, that’s what leadership said at the time.”
Zhuge Liuyun continued, “Didn’t we follow the leader’s requirements to the letter? You’ve already eliminated the Armored Men, and came close to killing the Destroyer.”
Xiaolan said, “I understand why the leadership made such a request since our country doesn’t trust the promises made by the American side. They believe that once the Americans truly get their hands on the special items, they are unlikely to share them with us. If we actually helped them get new special items, it would be like aiding our enemies’ development, which is why we pretended to make mistakes and killed all the suspects. Besides, the country has another motive for doing this…”
Zhuge Liuyun expressed his amazement, “How is it that we both heard the same orders, yet I only discovered one unspoken intention of our leaders, and you have unearthed so much more?”
Xiaolan smiled and said, “Perhaps it’s because I’m a woman, so I think about more. Liuyun, who do you think the Destroyer is? What nationality?”
Zhuge Liuyun shook his head, “With so little intelligence, we still don’t know the Destroyer’s identity.”
Xiaolan said, “Actually, based on the current intelligence, we can basically confirm the identity of the Destroyer—he is likely one of our Chinese people.”
Zhuge Liuyun was shocked, “How could that be? Domestic surveillance has always been our focus, how could someone so formidable come from there?”
Xiaolan said, “China is simply too vast, even with all our efforts, we can’t monitor everything; slipping through the net is quite normal. I believe that because of this analysis, knowing that the Destroyer might be Chinese, our country assigned us this important task.”
Zhuge Liuyun felt confused, and said, “If the state didn’t explicitly tell us, how should we carry out this task? And what does all you’ve said have to do with the place you want to go to?”
Xiaolan patiently explained, “I know you’ve been worried sick about this task every day, barely sleeping, so you’ve hardly kept up with the news in Paris. Did you know? A big shot from China just arrived in Paris this morning.”
Zhuge Liuyun curiously asked, “Who is this big shot?”

Xiaolan answered, “He’s Yan Fei from Dream Technology.”
Zhuge Liuyun was taken aback. He pressed down on the brakes with force, bringing the car to a stop. His expression changed, and after a moment, he said, “I think I’m starting to understand what you meant earlier! Not just the country, but you too suspect that Yan Fei from Dream Technology could be the Destroyer. If he indeed is the Destroyer, it perfectly explains why the Destroyer appears to be a novice and only accepts tasks from Yan Fei on the Dark Web, and why he used an eye for an eye method to torture the bearded man. This is also why Yan Fei just arrived today in Paris, and the Destroyer showed up at the Louvre tonight…”
Xiaolan said with a smile, “It seems you have quite an impression of this Yan Fei!”
Zhuge Liuyun’s face revealed a cold smile, “Of course I remember Yan Fei, and that Lu Pingping—I will never forget them. We were all in Zhendan University’s Genius Class, and everyone was a true genius, except for those two fools. But fate is truly unfair; we geniuses work hard to achieve our status, while those two somehow managed to become billionaires.”
Xiaolan’s expression became solemn, “The country probably sent us to carry out this mission with one more thing in mind: to verify the real identity of the Destroyer. If Yan Fei is indeed the Destroyer, we’ll have enough reason to take him out. This way we not only eradicate the lawless Destroyer, but we also leave Dream Technology headless…”
Upon hearing Xiaolan’s words, Zhuge Liuyun suddenly felt a chill, “If Dream Technology loses its leader, wouldn’t those who want it gain control of it soon?”
Xiaolan said, “The nation protects law-abiding citizens, not criminals. If Yan Fei isn’t the Destroyer, then he is our protectee—we would not regret even sacrificing our lives to protect him. If he truly is the Destroyer, then he is a criminal and our capture target. And since Dream Technology’s wealth comes entirely from domestic sources, it should naturally belong to the state.”
After listening to Xiaolan, Zhuge Liuyun remained silent, no longer speaking as he continued to drive. Shortly after, they arrived at the Ritz Hotel by the Seine River, and from their driver’s side window, they could see the magnificent hotel lobby of the Ritz Hotel.
