Chapter 1375 Treason and Betrayal
"No need for formalities," Elder Zhuang said lightly.
"Who is this guy exactly?"
Even now, Chen Xuan didn't know Elder Zhuang's identity. He couldn't help but glance at Wei Changgeng and ask, "Who is Elder Zhuang?"
"Elder Zhuang is the second-in-command of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade headquarters. The number one figure travels the world and I haven't met him even after being in the capital for so long. So, usually, when there are matters to be handled, it's the second-in-command who deals with them, unless it's a major issue, in which case the second-in-command will contact the number one figure to make a joint decision."
Wei Changgeng explained while frowning.
Logically, for Chen Xuan to become an honored guest of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade, he should have at least been assessed by Elder Zhuang. How could Chen Xuan not know Elder Zhuang's identity?
Damn it, he never expected this guy to have such a noble status. He had indeed underestimated him.
Chen Xuan saw Wei Changgeng's expression and explained, "This guy invited me to join the Yanhuang Iron Brigade, but I don't know his identity."
"Uh..."
Wei Changgeng was instantly speechless.
"Second-in-command, this brat is impersonating an honored guest of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade. I request the second-in-command to punish him severely!"
Guest Meng immediately jumped out, pointing at Chen Xuan and saying.
However, Elder Zhuang did not respond to Guest Meng's words. Instead, he pointed at Chen Xuan and introduced, "I have never announced Mr. Chen's joining of our Yanhuang Iron Brigade to everyone. Taking this opportunity, I will introduce him. This Mr. Chen Xuan is one of the Ten Great Honored Guests of our Yanhuang Iron Brigade."
A decisive statement!
In fact, most people had already guessed that Chen Xuan was one of the Ten Great Honored Guests of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade, but upon hearing this, they were still quite surprised.
Guest Meng stumbled, almost falling to the ground.
"Guest Meng, haven't I proven myself?"
Chen Xuan smiled playfully and looked at Guest Meng.
Guest Meng was instantly speechless: "..."
Elder Zhuang said gravely, "Regarding the conflict that occurred today, extensive investigation is temporarily required. Let this matter rest for now. Everyone should return to their quarters to rest. I will specially form an investigation team to look into this matter."
"Do you all agree?"
His gaze swept over Guest Meng, Chen Xuan, Wei Changgeng, and the others.
"We agree!"
Guest Meng nodded.
He was actually unwilling, but the situation had come to this, and he had no choice but to agree.
Wei Changgeng also nodded in agreement. He was extremely resentful, as the culprit had not been brought to justice. Similarly, since even Elder Zhuang had said this, he had to agree.
"Then we will follow the second-in-command's decision," Guest Yan said.
"Since everyone agrees, then let's investigate separately..."
But at this moment, Chen Xuan suddenly stepped forward and said, "I disagree!"
"Chen Xuan, although you are one of the Ten Great Honored Guests, I am also an honored guest of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade. Don't push your luck!"
Guest Meng gritted his teeth.
Elder Zhuang also frowned.
Chen Xuan was in conflict with Guest Meng, and Guest Yan was standing with Guest Meng. Why was Chen Xuan not grateful for his help?
"Second-in-command, I suspect Guest Meng of colluding with the Japanese, and I hope the second-in-command will investigate Guest Meng."
Chen Xuan said solemnly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of Guest Meng, Qin Sanhai, and Ma Sihai changed drastically, but they quickly recovered their composure.
"Chen Xuan, stop talking nonsense. Don't slander me!" Ma Sihai shouted.
"Chen Xuan, do you have any evidence?"
Elder Zhuang couldn't help but ask, and then reminded, "Chen Xuan, you should speak cautiously, otherwise, you will be suspected of slandering your colleague."
Chen Xuan said, "I fought with Ma Sihai and Qin Tianlong at Uncle Wei's residence in the capital, and I discovered that the techniques they used were all Japanese moves."
"For example, the Gu technique used by Ma Sihai, although it looks like a Gu technique, it has the shadow of the Japanese Shinnai clan."
"As for Qin Sanlong, the illusion technique he used is entirely from the Japanese Honda clan's ninja style."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of Ma Sihai and Qin Sanlong changed slightly.
They had been in the Yanhuang Iron Brigade for so long and had been so careful that no one had seen through them. But how could Chen Xuan have recognized them in such a short time?
"Chen Xuan, this might not be enough to prove their collusion with the Japanese, right?" Elder Zhuang said gravely.
"We all studied in Japan as exchange students for a period of time. Is it abnormal to know some Japanese things?" the two quickly defended themselves.
Chen Xuan smiled slightly, and a few silver needles flew from his hand.
The next moment, Ma Sihai's and Qin Sanlong's pants all fell to the ground.
It turned out they were both wearing only loincloths.
Ma Sihai and Qin Sanlong were instantly furious and quickly pulled up their pants, but what was the point of pulling them up?
Everyone had seen clearly!
Chen Xuan said lightly, "Even if you studied in Japan, do you have to learn the Japanese way of wearing loincloths?"
Loincloths, apart from the Japanese themselves, are rarely worn by outsiders in the same way as the Japanese, as this is their living habit.
Ma Sihai and Qin Sanlong were immediately speechless!
"You are actually Japanese, arrest them immediately!" Elder Zhuang's expression turned grim.
The surrounding Yanhuang Iron Brigade soldiers immediately took action and surrounded Ma Sihai and Qin Sanlong. The two had already exhausted their strength and had no ability to resist. Besides, even if they dared to resist, were the firearms in the soldiers' hands just for show?
Chen Xuan said lightly, "Elder Zhuang, although I haven't caught Guest Meng red-handed, this Guest Meng has three disciples, and two of them are Japanese spies. I suspect that Guest Meng..."
"Elder Zhuang, don't listen to this brat's nonsense. I have no idea what's going on. This matter has nothing to do with me!" Guest Meng shouted.
He knew exactly what he had done. If he was found out, he would have nowhere to go.
"Arrest them all. If they dare to resist, kill them without mercy!"
Elder Zhuang said sternly immediately.
The Ten Great Honored Guests, each one was a pillar of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade. Now that a traitor who colluded with the enemy had appeared, it was absolutely something he could not tolerate.
Guest Yan immediately said, "Second-in-command, let me handle this matter. If Guest Meng has truly committed treason and betrayal, I will not let him off!"
Elder Zhuang clearly did not trust Guest Yan. Guest Yan and Guest Meng were sworn brothers. What if he showed favoritism?
However, Guest Yan held a high position and was a pillar of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade. It would be unreasonable not to give him some face.
"Guest Yan, you and Guest Meng are sworn brothers. I don't trust you to handle this matter."
Chen Xuan saw Elder Zhuang's hesitation and immediately extricated him.
"You brat, talk nonsense! Although I am sworn brothers with Guest Meng, I will absolutely not shield him, and I don't believe Guest Meng is a Japanese spy!"
Guest Yan glared fiercely at Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan was always opposing him, which was simply detestable.
Just then, Chen Xuan received a phone call, quickly hung up, and looked up at Guest Yan, saying coldly, "Guest Yan, unfortunately, you guessed wrong. The facts have proven that Guest Meng is indeed a traitor who colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country!"
"What do you mean?"
Chen Xuan did not answer Guest Yan.
Immediately after, the sound of helicopter rotors spinning in the sky could be heard. Seven or eight helicopters were circling overhead!
The helicopters also bore the unique markings of the Dragon Soul team.
Seeing the helicopters overhead, Chen Xuan muttered and said, "They've come quite quickly."
