I can't come up with a title for Chapter 249!
After leaving the villa, Zhou Yang did not rush back, but went straight to the direction of the military headquarters.
Firstly, I wanted to see how Yan Fei and his team were progressing with their investigation, and also to share my findings with them. Secondly, I wanted Yan Fei to tell the patrol team to keep an eye on Sun Jing and her brother at the villa.
Otherwise, Zhou Yang really wouldn't feel at ease if the siblings lived here.
However, not knowing where Yan Fei and Xu Zhiyi were, he had no choice but to go directly to the military headquarters and ask around.
Fortunately, the Qianlong Squad was quite famous in the base, and Zhou Yang had helped with many missions, so many people in the military recognized him.
So after just a casual inquiry, Zhou Yang found out where Yan Fei and the others were sitting.
Following the address given, Zhou Yang found the archives.
Upon entering, one sees Yan Fei and Xu Zhiyi sitting at a table reviewing documents, with Xu Zhiyi occasionally making notes.
Before Zhou Yang could speak, Yan Fei and Xu Zhiyi simultaneously noticed someone coming in, and when they looked up, they saw Zhou Yang standing at the door.
"Why are you here? Weren't you keeping an eye on Zhang Wan?"
Zhou Yang nodded and said, "Yes, I got a general idea from Sun Jing, and then came here after taking them to the villa. But I had Da Huang and Xiao Hu hide in the big tent to keep an eye on Zhang Wan. I'll ask Da Huang and Xiao Hu later."
Yan Fei nodded: "That's good. This way it's safer and we won't alert them."
Zhou Yang continued, "Moreover, I've now confirmed that Zhang Wan has superpowers. The good news is that her power level is probably not high yet, so her control over Chai Jin shouldn't be too strong either. It won't be difficult for us to break her control over Chai Jin."
"That's about what we expected. We checked around and no one found out she had any special abilities. Everyone's impression of her was that they felt close to her as soon as they were with her, and the longer they spent time with her, the more profound the impression became. But these people themselves didn't realize it."
After glancing at what he had written down on the paper, Xu Zhiyi analyzed.
After understanding, Zhou Yang nodded, and then asked, "By the way, how's your investigation at the military headquarters going? Has anyone been controlled by her like this?"
“There are several suspects, all of whom are people in the patrol team who have had contact with the refugees in the big tents, and…” Xu Zhiyi paused suddenly at the end of his sentence, “and there is also one who is said to be planning to submit a marriage application to the higher-ups recently.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang recalled hearing the patrol team members call Zhang Wan "sister-in-law" earlier, so he turned his head and asked, "Are they captains?"
"Huh? How did you know?"
"When I arrived, I happened to hear the patrol team calling Zhang Wan 'sister-in-law'."
Zhou Yang then relayed the conversation he had just witnessed between Zhang Wan and the patrol team members outside the large tent to the two of them.
Yan Fei then looked up the patrol team scheduled for today from the patrol team's schedule, and also found the information about the team leader.
It was indeed the one who supposedly wanted to marry Zhang Wan.
Moreover, they all knew this person; he was Chen Ming, the deputy leader of Li Li's group who had gone to move grain together before, and he was a power evolver.
However, he was later forced to withdraw from the front lines due to injury, and now he leads a team responsible for the safety of the civilian areas within the base.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Zhiyi said, "This Chen Ming is probably controlled more deeply, just like Chai Jin. Zhang Wan's current level is low, so she can only control two people at most. Therefore, the others should behave normally, just at the level of doubling their favorability."
"I just don't know how well Chai Jin and Chen Ming are currently under control..." Zhou Yang pondered, stroking his chin.
Xu Zhiyi shook his head, pointed to the comparison of the times Zhang Wan, Chai Jin, and Chen Ming went out that he had recorded on another piece of paper, and showed it to Zhou Yang and Yan Fei.
"It shouldn't be too deep yet. I found out that this woman goes out every few days, which coincides with the times when Chai Jin goes out and Chen Ming takes leave to go out. It must be that she meets with them every few days to strengthen her control. Otherwise, over time, the degree of control will decrease, or even become ineffective."
Zhou Yang breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this: "That's good. Even if we kill Zhang Wan directly, it shouldn't be a big problem. Now we just need to see if the results from Ze Chuan and the others' investigation match our predictions."
The three of them investigated the military until the afternoon, barely managing to grab a quick bite at noon, and thoroughly uncovered Zhang Wan's interpersonal relationships.
Interestingly, the column for Zhang Wan's only relative has changed from Grandma Zhang to a middle-aged couple, and now includes two older brothers.
Tsk, looks like they've used some kind of trick to establish a godparent relationship again.
The three of them collected some useful items before leaving the military headquarters.
Seeing that it wasn't far from Taiyuan Mountain, Zhou Yang had Yan Fei and the others drop them off not far from the large tent in the square. Then he went to the abandoned shop to issue a recall order to Xiao Hu. He waited for Da Huang to return with Xiao Hu invisibly before putting them both into his spatial storage.
"So, did Dahuang and the others see anything?" Xu Zhiyi asked as soon as he got back into the car and settled in.
"I haven't asked yet. Let's go back and talk about it first. There are too many people around here."
Zhou Yang shook his head and suggested that they go home first.
Xu Zhiyi thought about it and agreed, so he didn't ask any more questions.
The three of them quickly returned to their apartment building, parked their car, and went straight upstairs.
Today, Chai Jin didn't go to the shop; he was on leave at home. So when Zhou Yang and the others went upstairs, they saw Chai Jin helping Yu Jing and the others make dinner.
Because the vegetables were cut rather poorly, Chai Jin would occasionally get a few dissed comments from Lu Xingye, but he didn't get angry at all and just smiled. His honest and simple appearance showed no signs of having argued with Lu Xingye, as if nothing had happened.
It seems that as long as topics related to Zhang Wan are not mentioned, Chai Jin will not be affected at all, and there is no sign that he has been brainwashed by Zhang Wan.
