Chapter 283: Chapter 245 Enemy and Friend (Monthly Ticket Extra)_3

Upon reading this introduction, Wen Nan fell into deep thought.

Unexpectedly, the mental journey of this boy named Yin Zhi’en was strikingly similar to Wen Nan’s—when Wen Nan suspected the other’s actions mirrored his own too closely, the other was likewise suspicious of Wen Nan.

Similarly, the probing between them was mutual.

Just like the previous introduction about Lv Xiaohong, this systematic update was equally timely in revealing the other’s latest thoughts.

In this way, there was no longer any need for Wen Nan to use the Mind Reading Technique on Yin Zhi’en. Even if he did, he would merely hear the other’s doubts and probes about him.

Wen Nan’s gaze lingered on the upper half of the introduction text.

Having seen the identity introductions of Hu Jiayao and himself, Wen Nan could confirm that the content described in those texts, although not always interpretable in the typical literal sense, was certainly candid and truthful.

For instance, Wen Nan, skilled in cryptocurrency trading, horse riding, and fish keeping, couldn’t refute it; he indeed liked and was quite adept at these.

So, by analogy, was Yin Zhi’en’s skill in modeling really the kind of modeling described in the digital media program, or did it have another, deeper meaning?

Moreover, the introduction mentioned that Yin Zhi’en had a very important task that required his absolute loyalty and could not be completed alone.

This task sounded reminiscent of a loyal minister’s protection of the queen and princess.

However, this wasn’t absolute either, because if the other was a young master, he also needed to offer absolute loyalty to a traitor minister and join forces with them to eliminate members of other factions.

As Wen Nan pondered, Yin Zhi’en before him also scrutinized Wen Nan with an unusual look.

Evidently, at the moment their skin touched, the other party also obtained Wen Nan’s identity information.

However, what the other obtained was a series of asterisks in a hidden state.

Initially, the other party’s eyes widened slightly with a hint of surprise, then their lips twitched downward, evidently disappointed by Wen Nan’s hidden identity card.

Yet, the other party was quite composed, quickly reining in their emotions, smiling at Wen Nan once more, and releasing Wen Nan’s wrist,

"Since the lady can’t drink, senior, would you like to join me for a drink?"

As he spoke, he raised the wine glass in his hand towards Wen Nan, "I’m Yin Zhi’en, shall we be friends?"

Wen Nan lifted his glass, the rim slowly touching the other’s, while one finger discreetly added something to the other’s glass without them noticing.

He lifted the glass and drank it in one go.

Seeing this, Yin Zhi’en did not hesitate and similarly downed his glass.

At the same time, an alert sounded in Wen Nan’s mind—

9527: "Detected that you have used an item—Truth Serum—on a target, Yin Zhi’en."

9527: "The item is taking effect, please wait..."

9527: "Item used successfully!"

9527: "Added an item for you—Tear of the Flower."

9527: "Your Truth Serum item, after stacking, remaining active time: 180—"

The originally mere 60-second Truth Serum, after stacking, had three minutes; this time was sufficient to extract certain information.

Just as he considered this, he saw Yin Zhi’en pick up the glass and look at the remaining beer foam with some horror, then extend his tongue and start retching,

"This.. there’s something in the drink, ugh, I... ugh..."

Mid-sentence, Yin Zhi’en raised his hand to cover his mouth, sprang up, and dashed out the door towards the restroom at the end of the corridor.

Li Fang, who was sitting in the center of the sofa, seeing this, stood up worriedly and walked to the door, watching Yin Zhi’en’s retreating figure.

Wen Nan quickly followed to the door.

Li Fang looked at Wen Nan, "What happened to him? I’ll go check..."

She prepared to step forward.

Wen Nan raised his hand to stop her, "I’ll go, you’re a girl, it’s not very convenient."

Li Fang glanced at the men’s restroom where Yin Zhi’en had rushed into and finally nodded.

Wen Nan quickly followed outside and was about to enter the restroom when a waiter caught him, concernedly asking, "Is the gentleman alright? Need help?"

Wen Nan shook his head, "He’s fine, just a bit of a stomach upset."

The waiter wanted to go in to check further, but Wen Nan had already entered the restroom and locked the door behind him.

Yin Zhi’en was leaning over the sink, retching forcefully, seemingly vomiting everything he’d eaten and drunk that evening; a sour stench rapidly filled the restroom.

Wen Nan glanced at the pool of vomit in the sink, frowning slightly, a bit distressed over the Truth Serum he’d just administered—

Would all of it come up from such vomiting?

Fortunately, the next moment, the system alert sounded in his mind again—

9527: "Your Truth Serum item, after stacking, remaining active time: 26—"

It appeared that the vomiting did not render the Truth Serum ineffective, just that the tossing had reduced the originally three-minute duration to just over twenty seconds.

This time was only enough for Wen Nan to ask one question, so he decided to ask the most crucial one.

"Yin Zhi’en." Wen Nan called out to the other sternly. The other, bracing himself against the sink, looked up at him somewhat disheveled, as Wen Nan asked, "Which faction do you belong to?"

Yin Zhi’en’s eyes showed a hint of surprise, seemingly not expecting such a direct question from Wen Nan, but his throat involuntarily uttered an answer, "The Loyalists."

As expected, in the same faction as myself?
