Chapter 6: Second Meeting (Please Favorite)_1

Jiang Yu gave Kong Xiang a piece of advice, "Even if we've confirmed the method Ye Wenjie uses to pass messages, I suggest we don't interfere just yet.

"If the Redemptionists catch on and switch to another method of passing messages, we'll have to start the investigation all over again.

"Now that the Redemptionists don't know that we've discovered their secret, we can have an absolute advantage."

Kong Xiang nodded, "I think so too."

Then he smiled, "Come over to my place this evening to celebrate the progress of your mission. Fortunately, I no longer live in the faculty housing complex; otherwise, we'd have to avoid celebrating together to steer clear of suspicion."

Jiang Yu smacked his lips, "The braised pork your wife makes always leaves one longing for more."

Kong Xiang, smiling, pointed a finger at Jiang Yu, "You brat, already knowing what to ask for, all right, I'll call your teacher mother later and have her make you some braised pork."

Jiang Yu's mind stirred, and he quietly asked, following along with the topic, "Teacher, I've always wanted to ask, does teacher mother know about the great cause we are pursuing?"

Kong Xiang sighed, "Your teacher mother is a traditional thinker; she cannot accept the fact that humanity is already terminally ill.

"It's better that she doesn't know, sometimes ignorance is indeed bliss."

Deception Points from Kong Xiang +1.

Jiang Yu, who had already gotten used to Teacher Kong's "easy kills", nodded. In other words, for the sake of security, all ETO-related work happened in this office.

If there were any secret documents about ETO, they were certainly in this office.

Having confirmed this, Jiang Yu decided to look for an opportunity to search Kong Xiang's office, perhaps he would make some gains.

While these thoughts ran through Jiang Yu's head, he had already changed the subject, "Has the issue in Jiangdong Province been resolved?"

Kong Xiang huffed, "That Jiang Shuo only knows how to engage in violence..."

"Everyone knows that," Jiang Yu said with a smile, "Even zombies couldn't care less about a guy like Jiang Shuo."

Kong Xiang was momentarily puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"Because he's brainless!"

Kong Xiang clapped and laughed loudly, "Exactly, brainless!"

...

At two in the afternoon, at the Beihai Cafe.

Shi Qiang arrived as promised and immediately spotted Jiang Yu seated in the corner.

Once Shi Qiang sat down opposite him, Jiang Yu asked with a smile, "What would you like to drink?"

Shi Qiang leaned back in his chair, "I can't get used to these foreign things."

"Then I'll order a juice for you." Jiang Yu ordered a juice for Shi Qiang, "By the way, you'll pay the bill. The coffee here is quite expensive, and I, a student, can't afford it."

Shi Qiang grinned as if to say, then why come here? But he eventually nodded, "Now can you tell me more about the organization you're in?"

"Yes," Jiang Yu said, "It's a group that despises all of humanity and is disillusioned with it.

"They refer to their cause as the 'Three-body Movement', of course, this is the translation by domestic members, who believe this is a 'May Fourth Movement' for all of humanity."

Shi Qiang frowned, "Despise all of humanity? Are they terrorists?"

"On the contrary, their main leaders are globally renowned scholars."

"That logic doesn't add up," Shi Qiang took a cigarette out on impulse, but remembering that smoking was not allowed here, he put the cigarette back in his pocket, "Scholars who have been nurtured with so many resources, would despise humanity?"

"Da Shi, let's not waste time discussing this topic. If you take the time to understand the scholars, you'll see that all of them have a degree of disdain for the world," Jiang Yu sipped his coffee:

"The purer the scholar's thought, the more transparently they see human society, and the heavier this sentiment becomes. It's a mechanism of self-doubt that each of us possesses, to a greater or lesser extent."

Shi Qiang crossed his arms: "Bored as fuck!"

Jiang Yu smiled: "In the past, this was just a literary sentiment, at most airing a few grievances, nothing serious."

"But now it's different, they've found a place to channel this spirit, they've united, and formed a terrifying force."

Shi Qiang was a bit puzzled: "A place to channel their spirit?"

Jiang Yu continued to explain: "Now they're divided into three factions. One faction hopes for the Adventist to come, to completely exterminate humanity.

"Another faction hopes to save the Adventist, so as to save the people of both worlds, and they also hope the Adventist could incidentally save humanity.

"And there's a faction that wishes to serve the Adventist right now, as a merit of aligning with power, hoping they'll treat their descendants kindly after the Adventist comes."

Shi Qiang, holding a cigarette, pondered for a while before asking, "Is their 'Adventist' a real existence?"

Jiang Yu laughed: "Da Shi, I was right to come to you, you actually got the hang of it right away."

"Then what is this 'Adventist'?"

"You won't believe me if I tell you now. I'll let you know later," Jiang Yu shifted the topic: "I just found out that the poisoning incident in Jiangdong Province was committed by someone named Jiang Shuo."

Jiang Yu pulled out a group photo, pointing to a man in his thirties: "This man is Jiang Shuo, I don't have his detailed information, you'll have to find that out on your own.

"As far as I know, the explosion at the Liangxiang Accelerator Construction Site was also caused by Jiang Shuo. This man is extreme, I suggest controlling him as soon as possible.

"However, arrest him under the guise of the poisoning case or the explosion case, so as not to alarm anybody else."

Shi Qiang hastily took a picture with his camera, this was very important intelligence.

Jiang Yu added: "Also, keep an eye on Pan Han, Pan Han and Jiang Shuo are both leaders of the Adventist faction in the China Region, capable of mobilizing many resources.

"I only heard that Pan Han is about to take major action, but I don't know what it is specifically."

Shi Qiang nodded immediately. Through his investigations over the past few days, he found that this Pan Han was definitely problematic. The three thousand members of Zhonghua Pastoral were like a lobbying group, constantly spreading messages with ulterior motives.

However, he still hadn't obtained evidence to arrest Pan Han, so he had to continue his investigation.

Jiang Yu drank his coffee and then asked, "Do you have any device that can detect listening bugs? Or hidden cameras? Preferably the kind that don't make noise when detected."

"I do, I can send you one," Da Shi generously said: "What do you need this for? I can take care of risky operations."

"You're too conspicuous," Jiang Yu said: "But I will need your cooperation for my actions later.

"Also, make sure to maintain confidentiality. Unless you have my permission, don't discuss me with anyone."

Shi Qiang nodded: "You can count on that."

"Let's meet every Sunday at two in the afternoon from now on. Call me if it's urgent," Jiang Yu said: "Don't save my number. Delete the call history immediately after the call."

The two exchanged phone numbers, and Jiang Yu pushed his coffee cup forward: "I should get going."

Shi Qiang, feeling a sting of regret, paid the bill at the front desk, then immediately drove back to the police station. Using the name and photo provided by Jiang Yu, he found information on Jiang Shuo.

He sent Jiang Shuo's information to the special case team in Jiangdong Province, hoping to assist his colleagues there.

To Shi Qiang's surprise, just before the end of the workday, he suddenly received a call from Chang Weisi.
