Chapter 309 - The Real Culprit Behind the Scenes (2/2)

The little white tiger laid his head against Huang Tielan’s chest, his eyes shut in contentment. Sensing the attention from Zhang Che’s gaze, he couldn’t help but open his eyes, roaring out in a low, immature voice.

Zhang Che rolled his eyes back, feeling like had he carried this little beast all this way for nothing.

Huang Tielan immediately caressed the white tiger’s head and said gently, “Don’t cry out, Xiaobai. This is big brother Zhang Che. He’s also your family from now on!” {TLN: Xiaobai means Little White.}

Zhang Che interrupted, “Wait. Can I not be his brother?”

Huang Tielan looked up at him in confusion.

Zhang Che chuckled, “Tell him to call me daddy!”

Huang Tielan raised her long leg and kicked towards Zhang Che, “You’re looking to die, Zhang Xiaoche! Taking advantage of me again!”

Zhang Che ran off, bursting out in laughter. He teased, “Isn’t this just a matter of when? Haha, let’s just leave it at that!”

After completing the little Four-winged White Tiger’s acknowledgment of master, Zhang Che and Huang Tielan went to the villa his mother stayed at and had a warm, comfy dinner together, before returning to the Huang family’s ancestral house.

Huang Juyun had arrived!

“Xiaoche, we’ve investigated this matter clearly.”

In the study, Huang Juyun and Zhang Che sat opposite one another, each with a cup of hot tea placed in front of them.

Huang Juyun took a sip of tea and slowly said, “The Tri Special Intelligence Bureau, which is the department Zhen Manting manages, had a mole. Via spying on your personal terminal, he learned about me sending a jet to fetch you, then contacted a suicide warrior hiding within the army and rushed to the icy plains before my man.”

“Zhen Manting has already delivered that spy to me. There are people interrogating him right now. At present, what we know is that the ones targeting you are Japanese. It’s unclear exactly which faction they belong to. More interrogating needs to be done before we’ll find out.”

Zhang Che was silent for a while. He suddenly asked, “Then, did Zhen Manting find out BEFORE, or AFTER the matter?”

This was crucial. If it was the former, it meant that Zhen Manting allowed the spy to stir trouble. Although it wasn’t like she owed Zhang Che anything, it clearly showed them the true face of a potential enemy.

If it was the latter, there wasn’t anything to be said. They just needed to maintain their caution against that woman.

Huang Juyun shook his head, smiling bitterly, “I’m not sure, either. But, you don’t have to be too worried about Zhen Manting in Hua Xia. Although we have conflicts, she won’t target or do anything against you directly.”

Zhang Che nodded. Actually, he wasn’t afraid of being targeted. He was more worried about them playing tricks. Those were the hardest to guard against.

Take this incident, for example. If Zhen Manting had learned of the spy’s actions beforehand and played along with it and apprehended the spy afterwards, who could possibly fault her for it?

-Damn it, I hate this kind of scheming the most! Hopefully that woman won’t come find trouble or play anymore tricks in the future. If she really pushed me into a corner, I’ll directly slaughter my way to her, not giving a shit!- Zhang Che cursed inside. He wasn’t afraid of such nonsense. If she really drove him mad, at the most he’d just put on a new face and slaughter his way to her house. Who would know he was the culprit?

With the Myriad Transformation Lizard card, Zhang Che wasn’t afraid of anyone!
