Chapter 1002: Chapter 668: A noble man takes revenge after three years, a petty person seeks revenge immediately

"What’s happening inside?" The two approached one of the Ying Suns they had been monitoring, crouched down, and Jing Chen asked in a faint voice.

Shaking their head, "There’s been no movement." It seemed they were still quite unaware that they were being watched.

"That’s good," Jing Chen nodded. The other person then said, "However, Boss, there’s something odd about a place."

"What’s odd?"

"Yesterday, a woman appeared among them." A rather attractive woman, but definitely not one of their people.

Mu Lin: "A woman? What’s so strange about that? Although you can endure without indulging, the people in there don’t have as much restraint as you; but you’re not telling me you’re taken with that woman?" It wasn’t out of the question.

The remark, which might have been teasing, left the other person on the verge of tears.

Sister-in-law, do you think we want this? They also want to find wives, who would want to endure jealousy day and night, it’s just too much! And... sister-in-law! That’s enemy territory, fancying someone, fancying my foot, he obviously wants to take action instead.

After a dry cough or two, struggling with the urge to cry, the person said, "Sister-in-law, at least let me finish speaking..." and then give your opinion.

Watching him, Mu Lin laughed lightly and raised her eyebrows, signaling that she would keep quiet; she listened as the other continued, "This woman, being here, the original people here are too respectful towards her, so we suspect she must be sent from the other side." They might have already achieved their research success.

This would definitely be the biggest disaster for their entire operation if those people managed to take that thing back, if they were allowed to continue their misdeeds here.

Had it not been for the cameras everywhere, and they didn’t want to spook the enemy prematurely, Jing Chen would have snuck in to plant a listening device by now, which might have enabled them to pick up some secrets, aiding their operation.

Hearing this, Jing Chen and Mu Lin exchanged a look, seeing the same gravity in each other’s eyes—it seemed their worries had come to pass; and Mu Lin wanted to know even more what exactly the other side had developed.

Jing Chen looked at Mu Lin: "It seems we had better act tonight." To avoid any unforeseen complications; while they still had no clue.

Mu Lin nodded, "Let’s make it quick and decisive." Afterwards, Mu Lin casually inquired about the child’s situation, but it seemed no children had been spotted entering or leaving that place.

After all, it had already been one month since the disappearance.

Jing Chen then turned to the other person, "Tonight, Linlin and I will scout out the situation first. Notify everyone to assemble in the evening; we’ll move out upon receiving the order tonight." No matter what, they had to take down this nest, continuing any further just meant more risks as time passed.

"Yes, Boss." The person couldn’t wait to get moving.

After that, Jing Chen took Mu Lin deeper inside, as Mu Lin had promised to gather some herbal medicine for them, conveniently, their operation would commence in the evening.

As the two continued inward, although they were gathering herbal medicine for someone else, it became a professional habit for Mu Lin to collect more and more herbs, moving deeper inside.

However, just when Mu Lin had collected enough herbal medicine and was about to turn back, she suddenly smelled a foul odor in the air, like that of rotting flesh.

She frowned deeply.

Jing Chen looked at Mu Lin with concern, "What’s wrong?"

"Jing, let’s go check it out ahead," she said, taking Jing Chen’s hand and walking even deeper inside. As they approached that direction, Mu Lin’s frown deepened.

The smell was truly repulsive.

But what came next was even harder for them to accept.

Heading towards the source of the smell, soon a large pit appeared before them, big enough to bury several vehicles. Even Jing Chen could smell the stench coming from it now.

Because it was just too foul.

With a fierce frown and a strange unease in his heart, especially for Mu Lin, whose keen sense of smell was making the situation unbearable.

They cautiously approached the large pit step by step, but what they saw next left both Jing Chen and Mu Lin shocked, disbelieving.

In the vast pit, the first thing that met their eyes were the bodies of animals, already beginning to rot. Beneath the corpses of many animals—boars, snakes, and even two wolves—lay, just a little further down, a row of——human faces.

The bodies were decomposing, and the incessant buzzing of mosquitoes and flies was piercing and heartbreaking.

Even Mu Lin couldn’t help feeling the urge to vomit at such a scene.

"These animals weren’t killed," Mu Lin said with a frown, looking coldly at everything before him.

"You mean..." Jing Chen’s brows were also tightly furrowed. Mu Lin nodded, "Yes, all the dead are carnivorous animals. They were probably attracted by the smell of dead human flesh, but they didn’t realize that these were poisoned corpses." With one bite, the beasts ended up losing their own lives as well.

"When this is over, bury them," Jing Chen said indifferently. But Mu Lin replied, "By then, just burn them all. Although these bodies are defective, the toxins and germs inside them are troublesome. If we just bury them like this, I’m afraid of future problems." What he feared most was that even the forest would become afflicted over time, and that would really complicate things.

These bodies must be dealt with properly, including the soil beneath them.

"Alright, I’ll have someone take care of it when the time comes." Although it was hard to see the bottom, there must be at least a hundred people down there.

Jing Chen would never let these people off easy.

Mu Lin placed her hand in his, holding it tightly, "Don’t worry, we will avenge them for their grievances." It didn’t matter if it wasn’t done openly, it could also be done in secret; some people wouldn’t learn their lesson unless they experienced it personally. And she was not a good person—these sorts of things were what she was best suited to handle.

Mu Lin knew that the Jing family was a military family, and the old man had come from the battlefield. They harbored a deeper loathing for betrayal than ordinary people. Although Jing Chen seemed not to care too much about these things, Mu Lin could feel his anger upon seeing the scene before him.

Even if he disguised it well, his breathing and gaze betrayed him.

Mu Lin believed that she was the one who understood him the most in this world.

The Mu Lin now believed in everything this man by her side believed in!

Jing Chen nodded, turned around, and pulled the person in front of him tightly into his embrace, very forcefully, as if suppressing the emotions emanating from his entire being.

This vengeance, he had to claim it back; not just for the people present here.

Mu Lin hugged him back and gently patted his back, soothing him.

There’s an old saying that’s quite fitting. "A gentleman avenges after three years, a petty man takes his revenge immediately," but as for a woman’s vengeance... of course, she follows her heart.

It’s said that petty men like to stab others in the back, which she occasionally enjoys as well.

So, since she is both petty and a woman, there seems to be no need for her to worry too much.

If others do not offend me, I do not offend them. If others offend me, I strike first. And if they offend me again, I’ll eradicate them root and branch! She had really been merciful until now.

Tonight, she’d start by giving them a needle to calm their nerves, while also making the other side more vigilant. Then, she would cleanse the necks waiting for the visit, to cut the grass and remove the roots!

Afterward, the pair left that emotionally heavy place.

It was night.

A night with dark moon and high wind is perfect for murder and arson in the name of vengeance.

Ying Sun’s men were already prepared, all waiting in the cars outside the village at this moment, while Mu Lin and Jing Chen had already arrived near the Main Gate of that villa.

The Night was pitch-black, guided only by the faint starlight, but that was no issue, for to both of them, even the Night was as clear as daytime during their operation.

Moving with agile bodies, Mu Lin and Jing Chen exchanged a look, and quickly vanished into the villa.

At this moment, those inside would not have realized that the surveillance they had set up was nothing against this pair—it had even become a force for counter-surveillance.

However, they probably wouldn’t have expected that their supposedly secure base would come under a surprise attack.
