Reborn and returned, sisters swapped

Chapter 138 Was the matter settled?

Wang Rui frowned: "Although Wang Ge's whereabouts are suspicious, if he really is colluding with the enemy, will he react to our operation? He has always been very careful."

Gu Jinyan chuckled, a cold glint in his eyes: "Precisely because he is cautious, we need to use this operation to expose him."

Once he hears false information, he will inevitably try to pass it on to the outside world, and we will keep a close watch on him, giving him no chance to escape.

The atmosphere inside the tent suddenly became heavy. Everyone realized that this was not just an ordinary intelligence probe, but an extremely dangerous gamble.

If they succeed, they will expose the true nature of enemy spies; if they fail, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Gu Jinyan knew that he had to emerge unscathed from this confrontation.

After a moment of silence, she said, "From now on, all discussions about this false intelligence must be kept strictly confidential, and no one unrelated to this plan should know about it."

This gamble cannot afford any mistakes.

The group responded in unison, exchanging knowing glances. They knew that everything they had planned tonight would determine the course of events in the coming days, and ultimately, the fate of Hersha City.

Once all the details were finalized, Gu Jinyan scanned the entire room once more, his eyes gleaming with unwavering determination: "Let's get moving."

Five days later, we will know whether this plan has succeeded.

Before she could finish speaking, the cold wind outside the tent once again whipped up the curtains, bringing a chilling atmosphere and foreshadowing the coming storm.

That night, Gu Jinyan pondered quietly in his tent for a long time.

This intelligence war was not only a test of the enemy's strength, but also a test of our own deployment and execution capabilities.

Every detail is crucial; the slightest carelessness could lead to failure.

As night deepened, Gu Jinyan emerged from his tent, a biting wind whipping at him. Under the night sky, the military camp resembled a sleeping beast, awaiting the impending storm.

Instead of immediately returning to her tent, she walked slowly along the edge of the camp, making sure that every corner of the camp was under control.

At this moment, she was lost in thought, her mind replaying all the details of the discussions held in the secret tent that evening.

Meanwhile, Liu Yao had already quietly begun to take action.

He quietly gathered a few trusted soldiers and relayed the false intelligence layer by layer.

While assigning tasks, Liu Yao observed the soldiers' expressions to ensure that everyone acted cautiously.

The soldiers were visibly surprised when they heard about the so-called raid plan, but under Liu Yao's cold gaze, no one dared to raise any questions, and they simply responded in hushed tones.

They then quickly disappeared into the night, passing the intelligence to the next level of personnel.

Liu Yao watched them leave, then returned to his tent, gripped the sword at his waist, and frowned slightly.

As Gu Jinyan's confidant, he was well aware of the dangers of this scheme, but he still trusted her unconditionally—this young but resourceful granary official was a leader they could rely on.

Meanwhile, strategist Chen Bing was not idle either.

He meticulously wrote down the details of the false intelligence in his tent, carefully choosing his words, afraid that even the slightest mistake would reveal something amiss.

He deliberately added some seemingly insignificant details, such as "the generals of the raid will gather in the dense forest three days in advance," and "supplies along the way will be replenished from the city," and other subtle details.

This information will mislead the enemy into believing that the intelligence is absolutely certain.

After finishing writing, Chen Bing gently blew out the lamp and handed the intelligence to Liu Yao, instructing him to take charge of the next step of transmission.

Under the cover of night, Liu Yao, carrying this meticulously fabricated intelligence, quietly made his way to the area where the secret agent Wang Ge was located.

As night deepened, the cold wind grew even more biting, cutting through the night sky like a blade.

Liu Yao tightened his cloak and carefully hid the fabricated intelligence in his bosom.

The importance of this mission is such that if the false intelligence fails to be transmitted, their entire plan will be in vain.

Therefore, he was extremely cautious in every movement, even his breathing was very soft, for fear of arousing any suspicion.

The camp was surrounded by patrolling soldiers. Liu Yao carefully avoided their sight and quietly moved forward along the dark area at the edge of the camp.

The moonlight was obscured by clouds, and the surroundings were dark, which actually provided him with cover.

His steps were light, like a cat's, gliding silently through every corner of the camp.

Occasionally, when soldiers passed by, he would quickly disappear into the shadows of the tent, hold his breath, and only continue forward after confirming that it was safe.

Liu Yao knew that his destination was Wang Ge's camp. Wang Ge was a grain transport officer in the army. He seemed ordinary, but he often associated with some suspicious people.

Gu Jinyan and Wang Rui had long noticed his unusual behavior, so this time, Liu Yao's task was to subtly pass on the intelligence to him, creating the illusion of an "unintentional leak," in order to observe Wang Ge's reaction.

The faint sounds of soldiers patrolling could be heard from the other side of the camp. Liu Yao leaned against a tree, holding his breath.

He peeked out from behind the tree and made sure the soldiers were gradually disappearing into the distance before continuing his stealthy advance.

The gaps between the tents grew narrower and narrower, forcing him to stoop as he moved forward, his figure a black shadow, swiftly darting through the night.

Every step was taken with utmost care, and every pause was a careful assessment of the safety ahead.

Finally, he arrived at Wang Ge's tent.

At this moment, the lights inside the tents were faintly shining through, indicating that some people were still awake.

Liu Yao's eyes narrowed as he confirmed that Wang Ge's figure was projected onto the tent curtain.

He already had a plan in mind. He didn't intend to hand over the intelligence to Wang Ge directly, but rather to set a trap where he would be "accidentally discovered".

Liu Yao lifted a corner of a discarded supply tent next to him and quickly crawled inside. This tent was adjacent to Wang Ge's camp, separated only by a layer of cloth.

He observed Wang Ge's movements through the gaps in the tent.

At this moment, Wang Ge was sitting in the center of the tent, with several maps on the table, and he seemed to be studying something.

Liu Yao adjusted his breathing slightly, and a plan had already been made in his mind.

He carefully took out the intelligence he had hidden in his pocket, and with a slight movement of his fingers, deliberately placed it in a conspicuous position on the edge of the tent.

Then, he deliberately made light footsteps, as if someone was passing by outside.

At the same time, he coughed softly, a sound so faint that it was enough to draw attention in the quiet night.

Wang Ge's shadow moved alertly inside the tent immediately. Liu Yao saw him stand up quickly, push open the tent flap, and scan the surroundings warily.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Liu Yao slipped into a corner of the tent and hid in the darkness.

He held his breath, making no sound, only the echo of his own heartbeat could be heard.

Wang Ge examined the area carefully for a while, but seemed to find nothing unusual, before turning back to his own tent.

However, the moment he turned around, his eyes caught sight of the intelligence report at the edge of the tent.

Liu Yao noticed that Wang Ge paused, staring intently at the scroll, clearly hesitating whether to examine it.

Liu Yao secretly observed Wang Ge's every move, and a sense of tension rose in his heart.

If Wang Ge immediately takes the intelligence to report, the plan may fail.

But if Wang Ge really had contact with the enemy, he would bring this intelligence back to his tent and try to find out more.

Wang Ge finally bent down, picked up the intelligence report, and looked at it several times, seemingly to confirm its authenticity.

Liu Yao narrowed his eyes, gripped the short knife in his hand tightly, and prepared to deal with any unexpected situation at any time.

However, Wang Ge did not leave immediately. Instead, he hid the intelligence in his sleeve and returned to his tent.

His figure disappeared in the tent's light.

"They've taken the bait!" Liu Yao thought to himself with delight, but he dared not relax his guard in the slightest.

He quietly withdrew from the tent on the other side and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

After returning to his secret hideout, Liu Yao reported the situation to Gu Jinyan and Wang Rui, who were already waiting there.

Upon hearing the news, Gu Jinyan sneered: "Very good, Wang Ge has indeed fallen for the trap."

Next, we simply wait for him to leak the intelligence to the enemy's contact.

Wang Rui patted Liu Yao on the shoulder, signaling him to go and rest first, while he and Gu Jinyan began to plan the next step of the ambush.

They knew that the next step was crucial.

The false intelligence has been successfully transmitted; now it is necessary to ensure that Wang Ge makes contact with his superiors and capture them all.

At this moment, Wang Ge, back in his tent, held the intelligence report, his heart filled with doubt and unease.

He checked the contents of the paper repeatedly to confirm that it was indeed a top-secret military operation plan.

He paced back and forth, pondering how to handle this unexpected intelligence.

As a spy deeply embedded in the military, he understood that this could be important intelligence, but he was also worried that it might be a trap.

Ultimately, he decided to send the intelligence to a secret contact point in the city, following the established communication method.

Wang Ge put away the intelligence, pulled his hat brim down, and quickly walked out of the tent.

He looked around to make sure no one was following him, then sneaked out of the military camp along a hidden path.

Unbeknownst to him, Zhang Cheng and Liu Yao were already secretly following him from a distance, clinging to him like shadows.

Every footstep was carefully monitored by them.

Zhang Cheng gestured to Liu Yao, and the two moved stealthily in different directions, keeping Wang Ge firmly within their line of sight.

Gu Jinyan stood behind a large tree in the distance, watching Wang Ge's figure disappear into the night, and calmly said, "Tonight, we'll close the net."

The soldiers behind her nodded; everything was ready, awaiting the final stage of the capture operation.

As Wang Ge gradually approached the city, he seemed completely unaware that he was surrounded in a silent manhunt.

At the other end of the camp, Wang Ge was unaware that a manhunt targeting him was quietly unfolding.

He usually moves around mysteriously and always finds excuses to avoid patrols. Gu Jinyan and Liu Yao had long been monitoring his movements.

These past few days, he would sneak out of his tent late at night and disappear quietly into the grove of trees on the edge of the camp when the patrolling soldiers were not paying attention.

Tonight, Gu Jinyan has already deployed men around the woods to secretly track Wang Ge's movements.

Under the cover of night, Wang Rui and Liu Yao set up an ambush on both sides of the woods, their dark military uniforms blending into the darkness like predators waiting for their prey.

Liu Yao gripped the short sword tightly, his eyes fixed on the front, a slight tension in his heart.

The woods were chilly at the moment, and the occasional rustling of the grass around them made the atmosphere even more tense.

"Wang Rui, do you think Wang Ge will really take the bait?" Liu Yao asked softly.

Wang Rui stared intently into the depths of the woods and replied in a low voice, "The commander's plan is meticulous. If Wang Ge is indeed an enemy spy, he will not miss this information tonight."

They continued to wait patiently, their eyes never leaving the room.

A moment later, a short figure appeared on the forest path; it was Wang Ge.

He cautiously looked around to make sure no one was following him before quietly making his way deeper into the woods.

Liu Yao and Wang Rui exchanged a glance, then silently followed.
