Lily shook the thoughts out of her head. She was not supposed to be a part of this scheme. So there is no way that someone like her is acting as a double agent.
Fourth is the Doomed Spies. These are the people who are openly declaring themselves as the enemy to deceive the other side. Some would openly act as a spy, while some would openly provoke the enemy or show the enemy some false plans and tactics. This person could be Pierre Weber as he was openly opposed to the Duke, and he was not actually trying to hide it.
Then the last one is the… Surviving Spies. This is the Spy that will bring back the information in the enemy’s camp. They are quiet, and no one would think that they are involved in any spying. Some would see them as weak and cowardly and would laugh at them. These are people who are like bamboos… they bend and adjust to the strong wind. Then they would secretly deliver the information to the enemies.
To Lily… this is actually the most dangerous type of Spies. These people looked weak and are hiding their real strength. They would go to length to convince you that they are useless, spineless. But these people are considered winners at the end of the game.
These people received big rewards for delivering important information. Rewards… just like becoming the next king at such a young age. This was the reason why Lily thought this was Leandro. The Young, naive looking Prince who seemed too inexperienced and dumb for his own good.
Of course, these spies might think that they are smart and they could outsmart anyone with their cunning minds. However, they fail to see that the puppet master was the one who is always making the call. The rewards and power that the enemy offered blinded these spies. Aside from this, these five people do not necessarily know each other. They had separate goals, separate missions. These people might not even know who is the real puppet master.
“You think Mr. Neeson or the Organization itself did it?”
“I think so. I mean… don’t you think it’s weird? The information about Pierre Weber’s activities in the black market was too easy to find. If he was smart, he would not have used his own people to buy Lead. He would know that it would easily lead everything to him. This… This is just too easy.”
“You think so too?” Zhou Jingren chuckled. As expected of his smart wife. “When I asked my people to investigate, they came back with all the proof almost immediately. Pictures, transaction history. Everything. I mean… this is Europe. This is not my turf. I could understand if this is Japan or Asia… but this is on the other side of the world.”
Lily smiled at Zhou Jingren’s awareness. What she liked about this man is the fact that he never overestimated his strength. He knows that he was not the strongest. He knows that he was not the smartest or the richest. He knows that he is not a god. With all the achievements that Zhou Jingren had, his foot was still on the ground. What Lily doesn’t know is the fact that her mere presence was the only thing that is keeping her man grounded.
“Well… The Duke already agreed to keep everything a secret.” Zhou Jingren said. “Also… I already prepared everything for the trip to Sweden. We will leave as soon as you get what you need.”
“Then?”
“Then… we hide.” Zhou Jingren said. “You are on your third trimester. You cannot keep on walking around and dealing with enemies.”
Lily stared at him. Does it really have to be this way? Does she really need to give birth inside a bunker? A sigh escaped her lips. Of course… if she wanted to keep her baby safe, then she needed to be as careful as she could. “Does anyone know about this?”
Zhou Jingren shook his head. “You, Me, Bei Tian, and Yuanfeng… Also… for the Doctor… I am bringing one family doctor with us. The Duke said there will be no need to bring any medical equipment as the bunker had complete access to everything. “
“That is good.” Lily forced a smile. Her baby’s safety is still the top priority. Since they already completed the arrangement, Lily and Zhou Jingren proceeded to talk about their plan with the Duke. “He is willing to leave his throne?” This was not a question. The Duke already told them repeatedly that he is willing to leave the throne. He is willing to stir up the waters to catch some fish.
This is a risky plan to flush out the traitors and make the enemies panic. However, Lily was confident that they would be able to pull this off. She was sure that this will rattle the enemies into changing their plans to adapt to the situation.
“And Mikaela?” Lily asked.
“Someone will inject her with a drug tonight. This will make her sick, cough, and cold. Therefore, the Duke would have reasons to believe that she was infected with something. As royalty, she would be taken to a safe facility along with her children and she wouldn’t be able to attend her sister and brother’s birthday. This would keep her safe… in case Pierre was really planning on killing her.”
“Then that is good. That is good.” These are safety measures. Since Lily could not really read minds, she decided to tell the Duke all possible scenarios that could possibly make Pierre the victim. Lily already knew that Pierre was a man of focus. He would not even think about using his family to have an edge, to make himself look like the victim, the bullied. Then he would turn the situation and make the Duke or the current government the enemies.
Pierre’s technique could have made him the winner in this game. Too bad… Lily is here.
