Chapter 1115: Chapter 363: Law-Abiding Night City

"Lucia is a spy?!"

Rita’s first reaction upon hearing this was disbelief. She slapped the table with both hands and stood up, shouting at the Fujian people,

"Your intelligence must be wrong; Lucia has always been exceptionally diligent in her work with us, and she is very enthusiastic about learning. How could she be a spy?"

"..."

The Fujian man slowly poured a cup of hot water for the agitated Rita. Upon seeing the cup of hot water, Rita realized her loss of composure, took the cup, and slowly sat down.

"Sorry... I lost my temper for a moment."

"It’s okay."

The Fujian man said,

"Actually, we have long suspected her, but it was only recently that we thoroughly confirmed it."

He handed a file to Rita,

"These are the materials we commissioned Kangtao’s Foreign Affairs Bureau to find in Cuba, basically confirming her identity as an agent under the Queen, codename 9338, real name Jasieya. We have also confirmed the location of her accomplices; their stronghold is on Japan Street."

"How could this be..."

Rita gritted her teeth, initially in disbelief, but the Fujian man had no reason to lie about such things, and the document didn’t seem falsified. Soon after came unfiltered anger from being deceived.

"Calm down."

The Fujian man knew Rita’s temperament. If she were let out like this, a fight might break out, which would be troublesome.

"From our observations, her recent behavior might not be fake; there is a possibility to win her over. If successful, her assistance would be invaluable to us."

"You mean..."

"The organization hopes you can cooperate in this action, to test Jasieya, but there is a certain degree of risk involved, so be prepared..."

"Okay."

————

Jasieya, sweating all over while working at the site, had become more robust from a month of labor, her originally slender and well-proportioned body now looking more athletic, skin tanned to a wheat color.

If it were before, she would be annoyed and look for ways to reduce muscle and improve her skin, but now, she’s quite satisfied with her transformation and feels much brighter as a person.

Labor can alienate a person, but it can also transform them.

Here, there is fairness, dignity, future possibilities; with sincere exchanges between superiors and subordinates, no discrimination, and most importantly, the living conditions are not bad.

Yet, the more she lived like this, the deeper her feelings of guilt became, the more she feared her current life would shatter, and she would be dragged back to that sunless abyss.

Several times, she considered confessing the truth to Rita, but held back every time.

"Lucia, come with me."

Unbeknownst to her, Rita had arrived at the edge of the work area and called her away from the site, bringing her to a secluded place.

Rita leaned against the railing, lit a cigarette for herself, and after exhaling a mouthful of smoke, said desolately,

"Lucia... higher-ups told me you’re a spy."

Like a bolt from the blue, Jasieya’s face turned pale; although she knew the secret couldn’t remain hidden, this day came sooner than expected.

"But I know you’re a good comrade, your consciousness is also high. If not for this matter, I was prepared to apply for you to be a reserve with the higher-ups."

"Sister Rita... I..."

"Come with me and surrender to the company, strive for leniency, and complete transformation at Dragon Field." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Jasieya showed a slight movement on her face, then said dejectedly,

"They installed neurotoxins in my head and spine..."

Since the opposing side had found her for a face-to-face talk, it indicated they had thoroughly investigated, there’s no point in concealing further.

"Don’t worry, the company will find a way for ERO to remove it. If you really stay in such a place, it would be scarier than neurotoxins."

Rita trusted the company’s doctors quite a bit, at least in terms of surgery, they were as good as doctors at top-tier hospitals, and Lin Miao was willing to invest heavily in this aspect.

"Even if I..."

"You know our company never lies in such matters; we mean what we say."

"They won’t spare any traitor."

"Nor will we spare them, and your affairs... we won’t disclose to the outside, rest assured, they won’t know you confessed to us."

With multiple assurances from Rita, the trust established over the past month and a half played a role.

Jasieya extended her hands, indicating she wanted to be cuffed.

"I trust you."

"No need for that, I believe you won’t deceive me."

Rita patted Jasieya on the shoulder, a weight of trust.

————

"The company will transport a batch of high-value goods—smuggled from Dog Town to Santo Domingo—this afternoon, said to be... some kind of neural pulse chip. I didn’t dare ask more."

"Neural pulse chip? Are you sure?"

"No mistake."

West Fire Grass grabbed the high-end liquor on the table for a cowboy gulp, downing half of it—worth hundreds of euros—in a few quick sips, making Devon and the others squirm.

During this period, they spared no food, drinks, and smokes to drag this guy down, especially ice, the amount scared Devon and them, directly injecting into veins, truly fearless.

But it was precisely because of this that they trusted West Fire Grass completely.

For it was well-known Horizon Corporation employees are forbidden from drug use, yet this guy hasn’t installed a regulator, nor stopped the addiction, now fully in their grasp.

Of course, investment brings returns; the intelligence obtained from West Fire Grass, many are indeed of high value.

For instance, the incident at Zeta Technology’s building some time ago was actually Horizon Corporation’s doing, and Horizon Corporation is also developing brain nerve technology, albeit not on the same path as Zeta Technology.
