Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 884 He knew this would happen

"You don't understand. Some things are far more unpredictable than they appear on the surface. In the end, it all comes down to who has the better skills."

Zhou Yichen clenched his fist, his gaze fixed intently on the letter, and ordered Zhou Wen, "Matsumoto Ken and Cui Jin must be kept under close surveillance. At the same time, begin interrogation immediately and try to obtain firsthand confessions. You go and prepare; I'll be there shortly. No one else is allowed to contact them."

That was crucial in determining Chu Xin's motive for murder, and he also needed to ensure that no words detrimental to Chu Xin would be circulated.

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

Zhou Wen could tell the importance and urgency of the matter from his tone and expression, and immediately left after responding.

Even the most oblivious Chu Yunting sensed something was amiss. Chu Xin had killed people more than once or twice, yet Zhou Yichen had never treated it with such seriousness. Something was definitely amiss; was there something he didn't know?

"Did Xiao Chu get into trouble? Is that Bureau 749 something that's powerful?"

As he spoke, his back straightened unconsciously, and with a composed face, he truly looked like a pillar of strength.

“Zhou Yichen, Xiao Chu is a member of the Chu family. If she has really offended someone she shouldn’t have, she can’t hide it from me. Even if I’m not very capable, I can still protect her.”

In fact, Chu Yunting himself had some idea of ​​the truth. Little Chu had killed so many people who were being investigated, and it certainly couldn't be explained away in just a few words.

Zhou Yichen frowned, knowing that Chu Yunting had misunderstood, but he didn't know how or if he could explain Chu Xin's special qualities.

I could only try to calm him down first, saying, "You're overthinking it. Bureau 749 is a rather special and highly confidential department. Most people might never even know it exists in their entire lives. Perhaps they do have more privileges than us in some matters, but they are still an organization under the leadership of the state. No matter how privileged they are, we still have to explain the reasons behind it."

Chu Xin left just the right amount of room for maneuver, enough for him to uncover Matsumoto Ken's genuine spy identity and deal with the people from Bureau 749 from the rear.

Even without reading the letter, Zhou Yichen had already guessed why Chu Xin insisted on keeping Matsumoto Ken and Cui Jin with the Special Branch—because having them with her would give her more room to maneuver.

"You're acting like this again. Can't you just be clear? I don't care what kind of department it is. What I care about is Chu Xin's safety!" Chu Yunting's eyes were red with anxiety.

Zhou Yichen rubbed his forehead. He didn't like coaxing fools, but he was also afraid that Chu Yunting would impulsively offer himself up. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Can you wait until I read the letter first, and then give me an answer?"

Chu Yunting stared at him for a while before nodding, "Okay, you see, I'll wait."

Then I found a seat and sat down.

It looks like we'll see the results on the spot.

Zhou Yichen knew that he was very worried about Chu Xin, so he didn't chase him away. He picked up the letter, opened it, and quickly glanced through it.

There were subtle changes in his expression throughout, but overall he didn't seem to be in any dire situation. Seeing this, Chu Yunting felt much more at ease.

“I know you’re a good brother, but it’s a pity there’s no place where you need to go all out to prove yourself.” Zhou Yichen looked up and handed the letter he had just finished reading to Chu Yunting. “Here you go, but let me make this clear first, you’re not allowed to ask me any questions, because I haven’t really seen it either. If you’re really curious, you can ask her yourself later.”

"What? I don't understand what you're saying!" Chu Yunting frowned as he took the letter, and the more he read, the more shocked he became. Finally, he exclaimed "Ah!"

"This...this is about superpowered individuals? What does it mean that she deliberately used her superpowers to kill someone in order to lure out the person behind the scenes? Is Xiao Chu also one of those amazing people? What can she do? Invisibility? Mind reading? Or control? Oh, right, Xiao Chu can hypnotize, is that also a kind of superpower?"

Wait, why would she tell you all this without holding anything back? Did you already know she had superpowers?

"Ugh, why?!"

Zhou Yichen: ...He knew this would happen.
