"This is quite impressive," Li Ruobing expressed sincere admiration. "Qin Yan, you are now the first and only one in our academy to break through to Level Four. With your current abilities, I believe most people wouldn't be able to harm you, so I can entrust this mission to you both."

"Mission? What mission?" Qin Yan was taken aback.

"It's like this," Li Ruobing explained slowly. "Since the last invasion of our academy by the 'Chi You' organization, we have been trying to gather information about their activities through various means. Recently, we have discovered signs of renewed activity from the 'Chi You' organization. I am concerned that they may be planning another attack on our academy, so I want you and Shiqi to go together on an important mission to gather intelligence about the 'Chi You' organization."

"Great!" Lin Shiqi's face immediately lit up. "We've been here training all this time, rarely leaving the island, so it's a good opportunity to get out and relax."

"Shiqi, take this seriously. I'm not sending you out to play," Li Ruobing said sternly. "This mission is extremely important and carries certain risks. If it weren't for your higher supernatural abilities compared to others, I wouldn't feel comfortable sending you both."

"Hmph, so untrusting," Lin Shiqi muttered under her breath.

"Qin Yan, can you help me with this task?" Li Ruobing looked at Qin Yan with anticipation.

"Of course, gathering intelligence is something I am willing to do," Qin Yan thought to himself, as long as it didn't involve killing or arson, it shouldn't be a big problem.

"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you. Shiqi, please look after him," Li Ruobing smiled at Qin Yan. Her demeanor had changed a lot, especially when facing Qin Yan. She was no longer as cold and expressionless as before.

Qin Yan nodded. "Alright, I will do my best."

A few days later, a red car sped along the city roads.

"Ah, it's been so long since we had a mission. Finally, we have something to do," Lin Shiqi sat in the driver's seat, driving the car. She had been training on the island for months, so she was naturally thrilled to be out.

Sitting beside her, Qin Yan was relatively calm. He looked at the unfamiliar scenery outside and said in a low voice, "According to the intelligence, the 'Chi You' organization's influence is concentrated in this city. Most of their members operate here. We are now in someone else's territory, so we need to be cautious." This was not the city they had previously stayed in; it was a distant coastal city.

The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

"Don't worry, we'll be fine. We're just gathering information, not looking for a fight. And with our current abilities, there are not many who can handle us," Lin Shiqi seemed to have a lot of confidence, either in herself or in Qin Yan, and didn't seem to feel much of a sense of danger.

"It's not that simple. I've heard Captain Gao mention that there are Level Five supernatural abilities in the 'Chi You' organization. If we're unlucky enough to encounter one of them, it could be troublesome."

"Oh, I see. What should we do then?"

"Even if they have Level Five abilities, they should be a minority. It's not easy for us to encounter them. Regardless, as soon as we gather useful information, we'll leave immediately."

Lin Shiqi thought Qin Yan made a valid point and promptly agreed. Soon, the car arrived at the front of a luxurious-looking bar. Since it was still daytime, the bar's doors were tightly closed, indicating it was not yet open for business.

Qin Yan surveyed the bar from the car window and said, "According to the intelligence, members of the 'Chi You' organization often frequent this bar. It's likely a secret base for the organization. Our mission this time is to find a way to capture individuals from the 'Chi You' organization in this bar, preferably important figures, and gather information from them."

"What kind of important figures might be here?" Lin Shiqi asked. "Is the spy named Liu Qing, who led the attack on our academy before, here, or someone else?"

"It's unclear. It's still early now; we'll act later in the evening."

Subsequently, the two rested in the car, conserving their energy. When evening came, Qin Yan and Lin Shiqi dressed casually, wearing baseball caps and wide-brimmed glasses as disguises. They entered the bar as regular patrons. The bar was bustling, with many young men and women gathered in the dance floor of the hall, moving their bodies to the music, creating a lively atmosphere.

Qin Yan and Lin Shiqi found a secluded and dim corner in the bar's hall and sat down. To avoid raising suspicion, they ordered some drinks and acted like regular patrons, chatting casually while keeping an eye on their surroundings.

"It's no good, we've been sitting here for so long, and it seems like we're not seeing anything," Lin Shiqi complained. They had spent a long time in the bar without noticing anyone noteworthy, and their peculiar attire and behavior had attracted attention from those around them.

"It's not easy to spot them. Let's continue waiting. As long as our identities aren't exposed, we'll keep waiting," Qin Yan's patience was much better than Lin Shiqi's. Seeing the frequent glances from people around them, he decided to embrace Lin Shiqi, kissing her cheek and neck, pretending to be affectionate.

Feeling bored, Lin Shiqi playfully went along with Qin Yan. Observers assumed they were a couple flirting, so they stopped paying much attention to them. Although they had been in the bar for several hours, they had not attracted much notice, and no one around them seemed suspicious of their identities.

At some point, the noise of a commotion erupted in the bar. Qin Yan and Lin Shiqi had been monitoring the bar's activities and immediately turned their attention to the dance floor, where a group of young men and women were engaged in a heated argument.

"It seems like there's a fight over there," Lin Shiqi observed for a while and understood the situation. Two groups of six or seven people each were shouting at each other, likely due to alcohol-induced emotions, and the argument escalated into pushing and shoving.

"There's a situation. Shiqi, keep an eye out and see if anyone suspicious appears," Qin Yan had been waiting for this moment and focused his attention on observing the situation in the bar.
