Deceitful Game

Chapter 297 I recognized you as the mole at first glance

Mingpo's surprise was not without reason.

In Mingpo's mind, this guy with the butt and chin should be a loyal and ruthless company dog.

He likes to mention that he has "connections" all the time, and he is very particular about rules in everything he does.

Why would the agent's mission require Mingpo to kill this person?

What does it mean?

"Huh?"

Minister Lin was clearly unaware that he was being watched, and was even startled by Mingpo. But he quickly regained his composure: "What are you doing here, Xiao Ming?"

He pulled Mingpo back to his office: "Perfect timing, I have an important task for you..."

At this time, Mingpo had not yet made any great contributions and been promoted to Section Chief Ming; he was still a junior executive officer under Minister Lin.

As the office door closed, Mingpo stood motionless in the doorway.

"you……?"

Minister Lin tugged at Mingpo twice, but couldn't budge him, so he turned around with some confusion.

And then he and Mingpo locked eyes...

The world around Mingbo shattered instantly, like broken glass!

It felt like I'd been kicked by a dragon rider!

Minpak didn't have much time, less than a minute and a half. And the illusions he could create were clearly not like Itachi Uchiha's Tsukuyomi, which could prolong the perceived time.

So Mingbo didn't create any illusions to terrify Minister Lin. Instead, he stood directly in the misty world and said to Minister Lin bluntly, "I am an agent who has returned from the future, ordered to kill you."

As Mingpo spoke, he took out a piece of Time Red Copper.

The crimson chips leaped into Mingpo's palm like flowing candlelight.

………ah?"

Minister Lin paused for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Ah..."

"I see."

He offered no explanation, nor did he resist: "Go ahead and do it."

This man, who was as fat as a pig and had a chin like a pig's trotter, accepted the fact very calmly.

After all, the company had already identified him and dispatched agents.

This means that even if he manages to shake off or even kill the agent, it will be useless. Or even if Mingpo doesn't kill him, it won't make a difference... The company never lacks agents; if one is gone, another will come. You can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever.

Even if he killed the agents, all he needed to do was send someone to a timeline a few minutes earlier to change history again. All resistance would be futile.

But his good news is... he coincidentally encountered an agent who was not loyal to the company!

"I need to know why you have to die."

Mingpo replied without hesitation, "This place is extremely well-hidden; even the [collar] can't monitor our conversations or memories." "...You actually set something like that up? That's impressive."

Minister Lin smiled and said, "So you're a secret agent...no wonder you're so versatile."

This was the first time Mingpo had ever seen such a faint yet sincere smile on this fat man's face.

He usually either had a smug smile or a fawning, insincere one. Either way, it was enough to make anyone dislike him.

But he didn't have time to explain.

"I'm running out of time," Mingpo said urgently, "Speak quickly!"

Seeing Mingpo's reaction, Minister Lin seemed to realize something.

This kid...

It doesn't seem that simple either.

If he were a secret agent, his mission should only be to kill himself.

He had no reason to stand here and waste time. Secret agents don't have much time when they're on a mission... Minister Lin was certainly aware of that.

However, the time he spent with Mingpo was too short, and he couldn't determine whether Mingpo was a friend or foe.

Minister Lin pondered for a moment, then slowly swallowed back the words he was about to say.

But Mingpo did not let him go.

He simply reached out and grabbed Minister Lin's thick neck, which was too big to be held with one hand, and slowly tightened his grip.

Are you from another company?

Mingpo, holding the obese minister—who was clearly three times larger than Mingpo—in a choking position, lifted him up with one hand.

"Are you a man?"

Before Minister Lin could reply, Mingpo immediately asked the remaining question: "Is it raining outside?"

"Are you a spy?"

"Who made your mask?"

"Is your base on the ground?"

"At the spire?"

Mingpo asked quickly, but Minister Lin did not answer.

Whether he answers or not doesn't matter; Mingpo, who's holding his neck, can perform a lie detector test directly.

The first few questions were used to collect heart rate samples corresponding to honesty and lies... After that, it was just to put them on their guard.

Suddenly, Mingper paused.

"Are they rebels?"

The answer is correct.

They were rebels...

Mingpo paused for a few seconds, then asked, "Do you know Chen Bingwen?"

Suddenly, Minister Lin looked up at Mingpo in surprise.

It's obvious that he knows him.

Mingpo showed no reaction to this, and simply continued to ask, "Do you know Shiyue?"

The answer is still yes.

"……you?"

Minister Lin was secretly delighted.

The fact that he could name two comrades who hadn't been exposed and were completely from different work groups... Mingpo was most likely a rebel spy! He wanted to give Mingpo the contact location, but he was worried... whether this would be considered "leaking intelligence to the enemy."

After all, he couldn't be 100% sure that Mingpo was really one of their own...

Because there's another possibility. That is, in the future, Chen Bingwen or Shi Yao might be captured alive, or they might actively betray the organization. Therefore, this part of the intelligence has already been leaked, and Ming Po returned with her memories to trick him into revealing more information.

That's not impossible.

We can never be too vigilant against charlatans!

Mingpo knew what he was thinking, so he simply nodded slightly: "I understand, don't worry. I'll contact them." Minister Lin spoke rapidly: "On my wife's dressing table, there's a deep red lipstick. The one she uses the least... I don't know the exact shade, but you can tell at a glance!"

"clear."

Mingbo nodded, preparing to end the hallucination.

But at that moment, Minister Lin suddenly grabbed Mingpo's wrist.

He pleaded humbly, "My daughter... please spare her, she knows nothing."

"No, you can't. Your whole family will have to die."

Mingpo calmly looked down at him, and ended the illusion after speaking.

But as his gaze turned to despair and he collapsed to the ground, Mingpo's lips curled up slightly, and he suddenly laughed.

"Just kidding."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly swung his right hand and struck Minister Lin's neck.

In an instant, Minister Lin fainted, his face still showing shock and despair.

...With this level of emotional residue on my face, I can probably fool them.

Otherwise, if he died too peacefully, or if his fear seemed too fake, it would be easier for people to discover it.

Mingpo thought to herself.

Well...

No wonder Mingpo always felt that her boss was taking his work a little too seriously.

Looking back now, it's indeed true...

He works so diligently, and he's completely honest and doesn't abuse his power for personal gain. Something just doesn't seem right.

Mingpo took out his "Disintegration-14" from his pocket and fired two shots at Minister Lin's back and two shots at the back of his head.

A green ray shot out and instantly killed Minister Lin in his sleep, preventing him from suffering any further hardship or torment.

Immediately afterwards, Mingpo snapped his fingers.

He simply issued the command in his mind... without spending any resources or using any words from before, and the entire world around him was once again enveloped in flames.

The feeling was like being strapped into a safety rope while bungee jumping.

After falling to his maximum distance, he was bounced back and pulled back up.

Mingpo has now been "pulled back" by the remaining power of time!

When the flames died down, he returned to the spot where he had left.

The moment he appeared, he had already received a new email.

To,

"Head of the Third Section of the Special Protection Division for Takaten Life, G8-Mingpa: "

"Well done. Your new supervisor in the Executive Department has been changed to M2-TimeKey. Please start working with him soon."

"The relevant objective time and space facts have been adjusted to: you were promoted to deputy minister by the newly appointed minister of the executive department, Shi Yao, six months ago, and did not participate in the war two months ago. Please remember this version for now, as it may be modified in the future."

"Additionally: Former Minister Lin Xiuying was assassinated by the Executive Department of Wangchuan Biotechnology on November 12, 2025, and died on the spot. Information related to Lin Xiuying has been sealed and will be kept confidential for five years."

"Special Protection Department Notice"

...Does it no longer exist?

Mingpo pursed her lips.

He clearly realized...

At this moment, the existence of "Minister Lin" in this timeline... has been completely corrected.
