Chapter 1066: We're Going to Win

"I knew it..." Han Yi Mo said, "The protagonist is always like that, either awakening first and astonishing everyone, or awakening last and overpowering all heroes."

"Uh..." Zheng Ying Xiong scratched his head after hearing this, thinking to himself that this guy was indeed crazy.

"I get it, kid, don't worry," Han Yi Mo said, "The plot is spot on. Since I've got 'Hui Xiang', the next steps will fall into place naturally!"

Although Zheng Ying Xiong thought Han Yi Mo would be easy to deceive, he hadn't expected it to be this straightforward. He hadn't even started using any schemes, and the other guy had already taken the bait hard.

"You... you believe it just like that?" Zheng Ying Xiong said, "Aren't you afraid I might be tricking you?"

"Tricking me?" Han Yi Mo chuckled lightly, "As a side character, you probably don't know that the protagonist's setup is often like this. At critical moments, they always unleash their potential, so even if you hadn't said anything, I vaguely sensed it."

"Uh..."

Zheng Ying Xiong felt the situation was getting ridiculously absurd. He'd only mentioned that the other guy had some kind of scent and hadn't even named his 'Qing Xiang', yet Han Yi Mo had already bought into it completely.

Was there even a need to bring up 'Zhao Zai'?

When Zheng Ying Xiong brought Han Yi Mo back to the room, Chen Jun Nan was watching the two of them with great interest.

"Xiao Han... what did this kid just say to you?"

"Uh..." Han Yi Mo thought for a moment about the situation. As the protagonist, he should hide his newfound power for now, so he said, "...He didn't say anything."

"Right." Zheng Ying Xiong nodded, "I didn't say anything. Don't go poking around."

Although both of them claimed "nothing was said," Chen Jun Nan felt like he had guessed correctly. He figured Zheng Ying Xiong had probably run into Qi Xia earlier, and Qi Xia had used some method to cure the kid's rhinitis.

After all, Zheng Ying Xiong had covered his nose when he came over earlier—wasn't that proof enough?

It seemed Han Yi Mo had indeed "Hui Xiang"ed, and everything was back on track.

Seeing the mysterious expressions on their faces, Chen Jun Nan reached out and pulled Han Yi Mo aside, whispering, "Hey, hey, Xiao Han, aren't we on the same boat? Why are you hiding things from me now?"

"Uh... We are on the same boat, but it's not convenient to talk about it right now." Han Yi Mo shook his head and replied quietly, "One day, you'll understand on your own."

Chen Jun Nan held back a laugh and said, "Alright, let me ask differently. Was what you two just talked about... something that 'could help the other side'?"

"Help the other side...?" Han Yi Mo smiled slightly and answered with feigned profundity, "The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed."

Chen Jun Nan smirked as if looking at a fool. What a line—"The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed." Normally, if someone wanted to hide something and the answer was no, they'd instinctively say "How could that be?" Only if they were spot-on would they pull out something like "The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed."

This meant their conversation really was about something that "could help the other side." In Han Yi Mo's mind, now that he had "Hui Xiang," he could better assist them.

The same went for Chen Jun Nan and Qi Xia—only with Han Yi Mo's "Hui Xiang" could he help their team.

"Fine, if you're not spilling, then forget it." Chen Jun Nan laughed and turned back, glancing at Zheng Ying Xiong.

"What are you looking at?"

"Kid, want to come over and sniff your big brother again?" Chen Jun Nan replied.

"You... how did you know...?"

Zheng Ying Xiong realized Chen Jun Nan was a tough one to handle. In such a short time, he'd already figured out what he was up to. Too bad Zhang Lü Shi hadn't been dealt with yet, so he couldn't just test Chen Jun Nan on a whim. After all, Qi Xia had said that with Chen Jun Nan's personality, if it failed once, it'd be impossible to succeed later.

"I won't sniff," he said, "What's so sniffable about you?"

"Come on, give it a try!" Chen Jun Nan shamelessly stepped closer, "You covered your nose when you walked over earlier, right? Did you smell something?"

Zheng Ying Xiong was slightly taken aback and started second-guessing himself. Was this... maybe a golden opportunity?

Chen Jun Nan was already suspicious, so if he just went with the flow and admitted there was a scent on him, could that make him "Hui Xiang"?

But Zheng Ying Xiong was always on guard against Chen Jun Nan. He wasn't sure if this was a bluff. If he played along and it backfired, Chen Jun Nan might turn on him right then, and the whole "Zhong Sheng Operation" would be doomed.

To be safe, Zheng Ying Xiong paused and said, "I'm not telling you. Figure it out yourself."

"Huh?"

Chen Jun Nan still wanted to pull Zheng Ying Xiong over to sniff him, but the kid had already opened the door and slipped away.

"You little brat..."

Chen Jun Nan couldn't help but wonder if his own "Hui Xiang" had already happened, and Zheng Ying Xiong was just messing with him by not saying anything.

What did "figure it out yourself" even mean? Was something like this something you could just think your way through?

Although the kid refused to give him an answer, the good news was that "Zhao Zai" had appeared.

He wasn't sure what triggered it—maybe it was those emotional scenes he'd acted out that accidentally led the kid to invoke it.

The next step was to guide Han Yi Mo into thinking "the undercover is going to lose," which would be the toughest part. But luckily, Han Yi Mo had "Zhao Zai," so they'd just have to play it by ear.

Too bad the timing wasn't great. If he made Han Yi Mo think he was losing right now, it might seem too rushed.

Just a few minutes ago, he'd beaten Han Yi Mo up, and now Zheng Ying Xiong had sniffed out his "Hui Xiang." If he suddenly declared that Han Yi Mo was losing... from Han Yi Mo's perspective, it would probably feel forced.

Han Yi Mo noticed Chen Jun Nan's strange look and swallowed hard, asking, "What... what are you looking at now?"

"Nothing, just finding you pretty interesting." Chen Jun Nan laughed, "Come here, let me get a good look at you."

"Interesting again...?" Han Yi Mo was a bit confused.

"You're even more interesting now than before." Chen Jun Nan said.

"Chen Jun Nan, just relax." Han Yi Mo said, "I've awakened now, so just wait and see what happens next."

"Hahaha!" Chen Jun Nan couldn't hold back and burst out laughing, amused by Han Yi Mo.

"What's so funny?" Han Yi Mo frowned at him.

"Nothing..." Chen Jun Nan wiped the corner of his eye, "Oh man... just thinking about how we're going to win, and I can't keep the smile off my face."

"That's right, we're going to win." Han Yi Mo nodded, "Too bad I don't have any 'Zi' on me right now. Could you give me one of yours? If it's from Qiao Jia Jin, Qi Xia probably won't say anything about it."
