Bai Xi looked at Han Mo and raised an eyebrow slightly, "Is there something you're hiding from me?"
Han Mo smiled, "Yes."
Bai Xi frowned, "What?"
Han Mo's eyes softened again, "I was thinking that our wedding is about to take place, and the betrothal gifts have not yet been sent to the Bai family. It's somewhat impolite."
He would definitely protect Xi'er, ensuring she wouldn't encounter any accidents. Moreover, he had found some clues but still needed to return to confirm some matters with Bai Han.
Although Han Mo spoke with sincerity and openness, Bai Xi still felt he was hiding something, "Really?"
Han Mo continued to smile, "Naturally."
Hearing her say that, Bai Xi still felt something was amiss, especially his smile at this moment, which was like his insincere smile when they first met.
She was about to say something more when she saw a figure walking onto the backstage of the performance from not far away. Bai Xi's gaze instantly turned cold as she looked in the direction the person had disappeared.
It seemed it was time to cast the net.
She looked at Han Mo, and Han Mo looked back at her, nodding slightly.
In the stage control room, a dark figure inserted a USB drive into the stage screen projector. The moment the USB drive was inserted and confirmed for projection, the figure's face revealed a sinister smile.
It wouldn't be long before the entire Black Gold Academy would fall, and these arrogant "chosen ones" would become madmen and corpses!
Now, all he had to do was find an excellent vantage point to witness this bloody cleansing feast!
Thinking this, the woman was about to slip away, but as she moved to do so, her path was blocked. The one blocking her was none other than Bai Xi.
Bai Xi stood at the doorway. In the dark projection room, Bai Xi stood at the main entrance, illuminated by the light from the doorway, appearing exceptionally radiant, "What are you doing?"
In the darkness, the woman's silhouette gradually became clear. She was in her early thirties, dressed in professional attire, exuding an intellectual and captivating aura. Bai Xi had never seen this person before, but after a general survey of Wei Changhe's associates over the past couple of days, she learned that such a person was by his side.
Following the habits of the Kui Hall Master, his targeting of Wei Changhe at Black Gold Academy, besides knowing her close relationship with Wei Changhe, must have had another purpose.
That is to say, a hint, much like the charity auction at the Chu family.
Because that poisoning targeted not only the upper society of Shangyang but also Chu Xiao, the actual intended victim.
Therefore, by targeting Wei Changhe, it was highly probable that the person intending to strike this time had some connection to Wei Changhe. Only then could they understand Wei Changhe's private information and become Kui Hall's most hidden spy.
Of course, all of this was merely her speculation, her deduction of the Kui Hall Master's arrogant, game-playing, bloodthirsty, and manipulative behavior.
And the appearance of the woman before her only served to provide the strongest validation for her guess.
The woman wore a badge on her chest that read—Administrative Secretary, Yuan Shan.
Yuan Shan was previously Wei Changhe's personal secretary, but she was later transferred to another position by Wei Changhe.
Although both were secretaries, the difference between the principal's secretary and a regular administrative secretary was not a small one. And the person who replaced her was none other than Wei Lai.
The reason for this was not clearly stated in the archives, and Bai Xi had not identified the true spy at the time, nor had she investigated.
However, she was undoubtedly the spy now, and that was beyond question.
Yuan Shan was startled by Bai Xi's appearance there, but she quickly composed herself, maintaining a professional smile that was gentle, "Oh, I'm just helping the principal project the upcoming required scenes onto the school celebration big screen, to promote the school spirit and discipline of our Black Gold Academy. It was arranged by Principal Wei."
As she spoke, she displayed a very polite and professional smile.
Bai Xi said lightly, "Since I caught you red-handed, is there still a need for you to pretend?"
Although Yuan Shan was somewhat flustered, she still appeared very calm, "Miss Bai, I really don't know what you're talking about. I'm just completing the task assigned to me by the principal."
Bai Xi said calmly, "You claim not to know what I'm talking about, yet you know my surname is Bai. I wonder, have we met before?"
Yuan Shan paused and then smiled, "Although I am no longer the principal's secretary, I am still in the administrative building. I've heard people mention you."
Bai Xi smiled slightly, a smile with a hint of bloodlust, "Miss Yuan, could the 'people' you heard from be the Kui Hall Master?"
Yuan Shan's eyes deepened slightly, and she glanced at the projector flashing nearby.
Bai Xi also glanced at the projector and said lightly, "Miss Yuan, you might as well stop looking. I know you're stalling for time, hoping the images in the projector will be cast onto the school celebration venue to hypnotize the participating students through visual cues!"
The bloody red-clothed doll was her image, signifying the bloodbath she was about to witness.
The doll's head was hollow, containing a communicator, implying that someone was controlling certain people's minds using some method. Combined with what happened at the Shangyang Security Bureau, she could naturally guess it was hypnosis.
Finally, the wall full of photos, seemingly absurd and provocative, was also indicating the method of hypnosis.
Last time it was sound, and this time it was through pictures.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shan was greatly alarmed and instinctively used her body to shield the projector. She was willing to pay any price for the projector to project the images normally.
At this moment, her professional smile vanished, "Ha, as expected, the Hall Master was right. The normal holding of the Black Gold Academy's celebration was a trap. I just didn't expect that despite the entire Black Gold Academy's strict control over drugs and personnel movement, you would have already figured out the Hall Master's intentions!"
Bai Xi said calmly, "So, you are from Kui Hall?"
Yuan Shan sneered, her face filled with resentment, "All souls who have no one to champion them in this world are the most loyal servants of the Kui Hall Master."
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow. Her guess was indeed correct; Yuan Shan was just a pawn of the Kui Hall Master. "So, you are not from Kui Hall. You are merely using the Kui Hall Master to carry out your own revenge."
Yuan Shan's smile turned wicked, "Yes!"
Bai Xi said calmly, "I'm actually very curious, what kind of hatred drives you to the point of wanting to turn Black Gold Academy upside down and drown it in blood, even using Kui Hall to achieve your revenge!"
When Yuan Shan heard Bai Xi's question, she laughed even more ferociously, "Because Wei Changhe deserves to die, and Black Gold Academy, which he cherishes and values, also deserves to die because of him!"
Bai Xi frowned.
Wei Changhe?
Was Wei Changhe the target of her revenge? In her investigation, Wei Changhe was a person of integrity, upright and unyielding, with no significant issues in his reputation.
Perhaps he had a side she didn't know about? Some dark past that her intelligence division had not uncovered? Had he done something that made this woman want to seek revenge on him by destroying the entire Black Gold Academy?
