Chapter 213 Midnight Stalking

The nightingale also cast a doubtful glance at Chen Jinshao.

To be fair, Chen Jinshao’s body was indeed trembling slightly, a fact that could not escape such powerful individuals.

She couldn’t help but chuckle, "Wild Boar, aren't you exaggerating a bit?"

Chen Jinshao took a deep breath, his voice still trembling slightly, "Ah… I'm just too excited, boss. Please continue."

The nightingale chuckled and nodded.

Internally, Chen Jinshao was far more excited than he appeared!

This Qianhe was none other than one of Chen Jinshao's enemies. Three years ago, the Candle Dragon had been almost wiped out, and Qianhe was among those involved.

If Qianhe dared to enter the country, Chen Jinshao would definitely make him pay!

His thoughts returned to the present.

The nightingale continued, "Next, we need to take action and create some trouble for the enemy. Pay special attention to Chen Jinshao. That guy's identity is rather peculiar; he might be the legendary Eye of the Candle Dragon. If you encounter him, absolutely do not get into a conflict. That madman will capture us at all costs! Also, if there's an opportunity to cooperate with some local powerful families, you can use them to continue our infiltration."

Chen Jinshao's ears twitched.

It seemed Black Blood's influence was far more extensive than he had imagined, already targeting the powerful families.

This reminded Chen Jinshao that Zhu Ziqian's clandestine efforts to gather dirt on Yu Lingxiao were likely preparations to gradually control the Yu family.

Then, which family were Pangolin and Nightingale targeting?

As Chen Jinshao pondered, Pangolin suddenly asked, "Boss, I've thought of a problem."

"Speak," the nightingale gestured.

"We're all wearing masks. If the person under the mask changes one day, will we still be able to recognize each other? For instance, now, can you prove you're the same Nightingale as before?" Pangolin said.

Chen Jinshao frowned and looked at Pangolin, wondering if he had revealed something.

Why was Pangolin bringing this up repeatedly?

The nightingale was taken aback.

She clearly hadn't expected Pangolin to be so direct.

Chen Jinshao, aiming to stir the pot, also mused, "Indeed, I've been thinking about this too. How can you prove you're our boss?"

"How do you want me to prove it?" the nightingale asked, a hint of coldness in her tone.

Just as Chen Jinshao was about to say something, Pangolin changed his tune, "Boss, I was just kidding. I can tell you're the boss at a glance. I was merely expressing my concern. However, I still believe we should have an extra procedure to verify our identities."

The nightingale fell into thought.

If they used secret codes, it would be useless, as codes could be leaked.

Only certain physical characteristics were immutable.

But if that were the case, their true identities would easily be discovered by those with ulterior motives, leading to a dead end.

"I will report your question to headquarters. I believe the headquarters' think tank will be able to devise a solution," the nightingale said, then scanned them both, "Do you have any other questions?"

Both shook their heads.

"Alright."

"Then that's all for tonight. Contact me if anything comes up. You're dismissed."

Chen Jinshao ultimately did not make a move.

He was waiting, waiting for that scoundrel Qianhe to cross the border, and then he would slaughter him in the most brutal way possible! He would offer Qianhe's head to the souls of his fallen brothers.

Under the nightingale's gaze, Chen Jinshao and Pangolin departed in opposite directions.

After they had gone some distance, the nightingale also disappeared into the night.

As soon as the nightingale left, Chen Jinshao's figure appeared not far away, staring at her retreating back. He followed, wanting to see who this nightingale truly was.

He had to admit.

The nightingale's counter-surveillance skills were excellent. If anyone else had been following her, they would have been discovered long ago.

However, there was always someone better, and the nightingale remained unaware of the persistent Chen Jinshao. Thus, she left the park as usual and entered a bar five kilometers away.

Chen Jinshao frowned and followed her in.

The bar was crowded, and Chen Jinshao lost track of the nightingale.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Jinshao sat down at a booth near the entrance, ordered a few bottles of wine, and observed the women entering and leaving.

About half an hour later, Chen Jinshao's attention fell on a woman in a short skirt. Her build was similar to the nightingale's, and her gait had some resemblance. The only difference was that this woman had wavy blonde hair, while the nightingale had a neat short haircut.

"It must be her!" Chen Jinshao murmured to himself.

Especially since this woman was carrying a bag, likely containing the mask and her costume.

Should he follow?

Chen Jinshao suppressed this impulse. Following her now would be too obvious.

He had already memorized the nightingale's true appearance. Tomorrow, he would have Shangguan Yu'an check the surveillance footage of the streets near the bar, and it would be easy to find out the nightingale's real-life identity.

At this moment.

Chen Jinshao had completely abandoned the idea of following.

To his surprise, the woman, who had already reached the door, turned back and walked directly towards Chen Jinshao.

This made Chen Jinshao suspicious. Had he been discovered?

The woman's subsequent actions seemed to confirm Chen Jinshao's suspicion—the nightingale was indeed approaching him intentionally. The woman, playing with her wavy curls, puffed out her impressive chest and sat down opposite Chen Jinshao.

Chen Jinshao frowned and stared at the nightingale without speaking.

Good heavens.

So she had even bound her chest while in disguise.

The nightingale smiled playfully, "Handsome guy, how about we get acquainted?"

The men around instantly cast envious and resentful glances at Chen Jinshao. The nightingale was a target for many men, and now Chen Jinshao had stolen their prize!

Chen Jinshao asked doubtfully, "Miss, do we know each other?"

"We didn't before, but we do now," the nightingale still smiled. Chen Jinshao, however, was wondering if the nightingale had seen through his disguise.

He shook his head, rejecting the nightingale's overture. The nightingale smiled faintly, "Men, aren't you all here at the bar to pick up women? Handsome guy, do you need to be so aloof?"

"I'm sorry, I don't like this feeling. I just want to have a couple of drinks," Chen Jinshao said.

"If there's nothing else, please leave, Miss."

The nightingale pouted, "You men really don't understand romance."

After saying this, the nightingale made no move to leave. Instead, she rested her chin on her hands and stared intently at Chen Jinshao. "Let me be direct. I actually know you. Your name is Chen Jinshao, right?"

Chen Jinshao's heart stirred slightly. He looked up at the nightingale, pondering the meaning of her words.

"Unfortunately, I don't know you," he shook his head.

The nightingale was unbothered and continued speaking to herself, "It doesn't matter. You'll know me soon enough. My name is Leng Jiaying, and I'm good friends with Yu Mengzhi. You can call her right now to verify if you don't believe me."

"I've heard Mengzhi's boyfriend is very handsome. It's truly a pleasure to meet you in person."

"You're exactly to my taste."
