Su Mingyue and Su Ningshuang followed Ye Fangjin away, filled with countless questions.
"What is your identity? From what they said, you're from the Imperial Capital's Elder Council? Then you are truly the biggest big shot I've ever met." Su Ningshuang understood a little, but not much.
Su Mingyue was still thinking about Zheng Yushan's affairs, her mind a complete mess.
Ye Fangjin dared not speak carelessly, only nodding vaguely. "A friend asked me to look after you. Yu Luo is also with us. She's the youngest, so we need to protect her closely. You two ladies should return to the hotel. I guarantee no one will harass you again."
"Wait, is that friend of yours my brother-in-law?"
Ye Fangjin smiled, turned, and got into the car, offering no explanation.
Su Ningshuang's eyes flickered. "Good heavens, this is getting weirder and weirder."
She patted the still-dazed Mingyue. "Sister, you need to pull yourself together. Something's not right here. I'm starting to suspect brother-in-law is the big boss behind all this."
Su Mingyue was terrified. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Su Ningshuang shook her ponytail, exuding an aura of heroism. "This martial arts gathering isn't just a grand event. It's a struggle between various forces. Our old chief said the police wouldn't get involved, but I'm determined to sign up."
"Ah, sign up for what?"
"To participate in the martial arts tournament. I'm a fighter too!"
Su Ningshuang keenly sensed something.
She felt surprisingly relaxed now. "I can confirm that the friend of the big shot just now is indeed our brother-in-law. He's been secretly pulling strings behind our backs."
"Does that mean Sister Bingyan is also fine?"
"Yes, they are together. Now it's Ah Xue's turn. I must talk to her face-to-face."
Su Xueqing was the spokesperson for the martial arts gathering. Only by participating in the competition could they meet her.
The two sisters returned to the hotel with renewed vigor.
At this moment, Ye Fangjin's car was stopped.
The bodyguards in the car tensed, their hands reaching for their weapons.
Ye Fangjin frowned and looked up. His body stiffened. "Don't move!"
Blocking his exclusive car was a man wearing a straw hat, his back to the luxury car, leisurely watching the milk tea shop across the street.
"I'll get out and walk. Everyone, retreat immediately." Ye Fangjin gave the order, got out of the car, and stood by the roadside in silence.
The straw-hatted man was, of course, Qin Yexuan. He walked into the milk tea shop, bought a cup of lemon tea at random, and then sat in the pavilion outside.
Ye Fangjin looked left and right, expertly avoiding the cameras, and also sat under the pavilion.
He licked his lips, a look of surprise about to ask a question.
"Don't look at me. Just listen to what I say." Qin Yexuan picked up his milk tea and drank it leisurely.
Ye Fangjin raised his hand and asked for a pastry, pretending to eat.
"Ye Fangjin, there's a mole among my subordinates, and the department most likely to be involved is Night Demon, which you currently control!"
Qin Yexuan's words almost made Ye Fangjin choke.
It took him a while to digest this information.
"Does Sir have any suspects?" Ye Fangjin asked after a long period of contemplation.
"Not yet."
"Then why don't you suspect me? I was just a thug in Hong Kong's underground prison before. After returning to Da Xia, I haven't accomplished any merit for Sir."
Ye Fangjin's mind was in chaos, and he trembled nervously.
If he had only respected Qin Yexuan before, now he held him in the utmost reverence.
Qin Yexuan smiled. "Who said I don't suspect you? Everyone with ties to Hong Kong is a suspect, and you were my primary suspect from the start."
"Ah!"
Ye Fangjin dared not speak.
"However, you've been cleared. As soon as you returned to Da Xia, I had people investigate your background, and they weren't my own people."
A thought flashed through Ye Fangjin's mind, and he almost exclaimed, "Is it the Dumb Demon siblings?"
"Heh, you're very clever."
Qin Yexuan deliberately didn't explain clearly.
After the Dumb Demon siblings defected, they became elusive, and no one knew what they were doing.
Ye Fangjin became even more awestruck. "Sir, don't scare me. How should I investigate the mole?"
Qin Yexuan tapped his fingers on the table. "First, tell me about recent events and everyone you've met, leaving nothing out. Speak in detail."
Ye Fangjin calmed down, slowly recalled, and began to speak.
His memory was truly exceptional. He missed no details, including receptionist Number Eighteen, within the Night Demon organization.
The last person he mentioned was Zhu Tianqi from Night Demon.
Crack!
Snap!
Qin Yexuan's fingers pierced the table, and the teacup in his hand shattered.
Ye Fangjin was startled again.
"Sir?"
"Zhu Tianqi... I understand."
Ye Fangjin couldn't fathom what Qin Yexuan was thinking, but he absolutely refused to believe Zhu Tianqi was the mole.
"She's just a child, innocent and pure, and very dedicated to her work. Sir, have you made a mistake?"
Qin Yexuan sneered. "You don't understand, and you don't need to ask. This isn't something you can handle. Hmm, has Jun Mengyao left the base?"
"Yes, she went elsewhere with Brother Li Tianxing."
"Good. I didn't misjudge her. She's someone who can accomplish great things."
Qin Yexuan smiled faintly, very pleased with Jun Mengyao's performance.
"Alright, Ye Fangjin. Go back and immediately order Zhu Tianqi to come to Room 07 on the eighteenth floor of Tianhe Hotel and assassinate me!"
What?
Ye Fangjin didn't understand.
"Do as I say. I've given you the location and the target. Go back and issue the order immediately."
When Ye Fangjin looked back, Qin Yexuan had already disappeared.
