Yang Xiaoyou calmly watched Zhou Xiong take one last glance at him before striding away, his eyes flickering as he clutched his side where blood continued to seep from the wound.
Left behind, Yang Xiaoyou quietly observed Zhou Xiong's retreating figure before disappearing into the shadows.
The organization's internal management was far stricter than ordinary circumstances. If this were happening in Europe or North America, within the traditional spheres of influence, Yang Xiaoyou would never dare to attempt such a risky move. However, since it was taking place in the Chinese Empire, he saw a glimmer of opportunity.
Zhou Xiong, who had joined the organization later, found it difficult to access the core. He primarily executed missions as a combatant and had limited exposure to intelligence work, but the management was somewhat more relaxed.
Now that he had been assigned to assist in the Chinese Empire, his autonomy had significantly increased, allowing him to remain and potentially serve an unexpected purpose at any moment.
Everyone has their vulnerabilities. When Zhou Xiong was involved in drug trafficking, his professed love for his family was nothing but empty words. Yet some feelings are only truly appreciated when they are lost; Yang Xiaoyou understood this deeply.
Zhou Xiong's family might not be his only emotional anchor.
Even if that person was merely a facade and did not genuinely care, reporting his issues would still be inconsequential.
His actions would undoubtedly remind others of a case from years ago, ensuring that his identity as a high school student would raise no suspicions.
Overall, he wouldn't suffer any losses; unless absolutely necessary, he would avoid meeting Zhou Xiong in reality again.
While it might be difficult to glean core intentions through him, obtaining some orders could help gauge the organization's actions and direction within the Chinese Empire. Hank's side had little knowledge of the organization due to their reliance on the U.S. intelligence network and their own channels. This presented a rare opportunity.
"Damn it," Yang Xiaoyou muttered, feeling frustrated. The recent brief encounter with his memory persona had not overly strained his body; rather, it was the initial Limit Release attacks that left him feeling sore.
However, thinking about that memory persona which seemed intent on opposing him made Yang Xiaoyou's head ache. The fragmented persona brought over by his memories was troubling.
Whether it was due to Memory Fragments or the unbearable experiences he had lived through, his emotions felt completely shattered and darkened within him. The absence of feelings was severe; in some ways, it resembled Feng Lin—who was initially benign like a blank slate—while his memory persona was entirely malignant and defaced.
Yet this emotionally deficient persona seemed to exist solely to counter him. Was it because he had forcibly suppressed these feelings? Would he need to occasionally let it out for some fresh air while resting or sleeping?
Thinking of this, Yang Xiaoyou immediately shook his head, dismissing the ridiculous thought from his mind. Although this time the assimilation was brief, it still made his emotions a bit agitated, and he had no idea how long this effect would last.
"Calm down and find some time to meet Menglu and Feng Lin for a boost," he sighed as he relaxed his muscles and began to break down the excess lactic acid in his body. Yang Xiaoyou started walking towards his destination, feeling a renewed connection to the force after another close encounter.
This time, the manifestation of memory and personality was strange; it was not like the situation with Luo Guohui last time. In fact, he couldn't find a similar scene in his memories. It felt as if he was using his own force, and given his current mental state, he had already achieved preliminary success in today's task. Moreover, due to planting the seed that Zhou Xiong might be able to utilize, it could even be considered an overachievement. The only frustrating part was that regarding Yongxing Society's actions against him, there had been no direct interference.
He couldn't possibly remind Zhou Xiong to supervise Yongxing not to cause him trouble; otherwise, any hint of a connection would lead to far greater issues for him than those posed by Yongxing Society.
Additionally, he received two unexpected pieces of news from Zhou Xiong. In a few days, the Minister of National Defense and State Affairs might send his confidant to discuss some arrangements with Yongxing Society. The organization also wanted to seize this opportunity to make contact with the second-in-command of the Ministry of National Defense.
As for whether they planned to approach openly or control that confidant first before slowly laying out their plans to gather leverage or corrupt him, that was beyond Zhou Xiong's knowledge as a combat specialist.
The other piece of news was that recently the organization might arrange for some peripheral members to carry out actions to create momentum for the Common Unity Party. He didn't know the specifics of these actions but knew that the personnel involved were combatants, and it certainly wouldn't be anything good. After all, the Common Unity Party wanted to rise to power by continuously creating trouble for the ruling party and highlighting their shortcomings—a quick shortcut that could easily be manufactured.
Moreover, since it wasn't directly handled by the Common Unity Party themselves, the risk of being caught would be significantly reduced.
From the information he received, it was clear that the organization placed great importance on the Chinese Empire, directly dispatching a high-ranking former head of operations in America to comprehensively lay out plans in the Chinese Empire. Zhou Xiong didn't know who this person was or how to contact them, but it was certain that such a person existed.
Yang Xiaoyou had an intuitive understanding of the terrifying capabilities of that organization which had once put him in a life-and-death dilemma. The former head of operations held a very high position within the organization; perhaps their combat skills were subpar, but their strategic abilities were quite formidable.
Moreover, since this person was a predecessor, there was no information reserve about them in Yang Xiaoyou's memory—he lacked sufficient intelligence on their personality and methods.
Having such a fellow grasping the overall situation brought considerable pressure on Yang Xiaoyou.
"Sigh, so it's the Minister of National Defense, huh? Tsk, isn't that Mo Wenfu's arch-nemesis? Seems like I can do something about it." After some consideration, Yang Xiaoyou made certain decisions.
He wasn't worried at all about taking action against the second-in-command of the Ministry of National Defense; after all, this was the Ministry of National Defense of the Chinese Empire—not Syria. The impact caused globally after Mo Wenfu's successful assassination back then had been tremendous.
However, if he only sent out a confidant, then there were indeed opportunities for manipulation while keeping risks manageable.
However, before that, it seems there are still some matters to attend to.
"Cheng Yuanyang Shipping Group" has once again been embroiled in a new round of customer data leakage incidents. However, the affirmation from Director Chen of the Customs General Administration has helped stabilize the current situation for Cheng Yuanyang Shipping Group.
Wait a moment, the latest news just in: photos of the chairman's son from Cheng Yuanyang Shipping Group and Director Chen's son partying at a nightclub have been leaked. The location appears to be Yongxing Entertainment City. Given that this exposure happened here, it seems the person who took the photos is a professional. It's uncertain whether this is related to the data leakage incident; it could be a tactic employed by rival groups. Although I find it somewhat distasteful, there's no denying that this method has proven quite effective.
After changing into a new outfit from Feng Lin, Yang Xiaoyou was eating breakfast that he had cooked himself while glancing at the news in front of him. He felt a bit surprised; he had never paid attention to Chen Kai's family and didn't realize he was the son of a customs director.
Originally, these were just some photos casually shared, but they coincidentally undermined the momentum his father had built through support—an unexpected delight.
Yuying Middle School's educational philosophy does not restrict students' thoughts; every student should have their own subjective understanding. However, regarding students visiting nightclubs, such "subjective understanding" is simply intolerable.
"Tsk tsk, do they really think they can relax in Yongxing Entertainment City?" Yang Xiaoyou remarked while popping two pieces of fried egg into his mouth, feeling quite pleased.
Although it's just one matter, achieving multiple benefits from it is relatively rare. Besides its impact on Sun Jun and Chen Kai, the fact that Yongxing Entertainment City—claimed to be the most free and safest entertainment city—has experienced such an incident of being secretly photographed will likely cause some damage to its business. It might even serve as an interest in finding trouble for themselves.
