Chapter 106 Traitor? Jiang Mu's Desperate Counterattack! (Second Update, 7800 words)
The Demon Slayer Division, with the Deputy Director in charge of the study.
Tian Wenjing sat in a chair, looking down as he flipped through a file summarizing the recent tasks of each department, his face somber.
The Third Hall Master, Wen He, sat opposite him, looking uneasy.
"Wenhe."
Tian Wenjing finally put down the file in his hand. "The monthly assessments for each hall, your third hall—are becoming more and more outrageous."
It looks like I'll be sitting at the same table as that kid Xu Fu soon.
At this rate, Xu Fu will probably overtake you next month.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Wenhe's face, quickly turning into grievance and complaint: "Elder Tian, ever since the Mist Demons invaded, the affairs within the department have been numerous and unpredictable, and—and there are always people stealing credit and intercepting tasks, and the current head of the department is biased. This humble servant—this humble servant is also powerless to help!"
"The person you mentioned, is it Jiang Mu?"
Tian Wenjing raised her eyelids.
Wen He gritted his teeth and nodded in acknowledgment: "Yes! This subordinate knows that Hall Master Jiang is currently a favorite in the division, a precious gem, but this subordinate still has to say that with Chief Ran showing such favoritism towards him, the brothers under him will inevitably have grievances and feel it's unfair!"
"Favoritism————"
Tian Wenjing smiled and stood up.
Seeing this, Wenhe subconsciously tried to stand up as well, but Tian Wenjing waved him off, so he had to sit back down, but his back straightened even more.
Tian Wenjing walked over to Wenhe, stretched out his calloused hand, and patted his shoulder heavily. His tone was complicated: "I have a major flaw, which is that I'm prone to preconceived notions. I always think that what I see and hear with my own eyes is the truth. I feel the same way about that kid Jiang Mu."
"Even now, I still believe his playboy nature is hard to change, and I have a lot of complaints about him. I can't stand him no matter how I look at him. But..."
Tian Wenjing changed the subject, "That doesn't stop me from admitting that this kid is indeed very capable. In fact, he may be the hope for the future of our Demon Slaying Division in Huzhou City, and even the entire Huzhou City."
"Old Tian, I—"
"Don't be in a hurry, let me finish what I have to say."
Tian Wenjing interrupted him, pacing slowly in the study with his hands behind his back. "I have carefully learned about the conflicts between you and Jiang Mu from Manager Ran and others."
To be honest, if I were in Jiang Mu's position, I probably would have done even more ruthlessly and excessively!
Wenhe's face turned pale.
"Firstly, your handling of certain matters in the third session was indeed inappropriate, even incompetent."
Tian Wenjing said without any politeness, "Secondly—let's not talk about the distant past, just take the case of Lady Liu, the concubine of General Chang. I admire him very much."
If I had been there, and you, Wenhe, had handled things the same way—hesitant and timid—I would have slapped you across the face right then and there!
Wenhe's face flushed red, and his fists clenched tightly in his sleeves.
Looking at his appearance, Tian Wenjing sighed, his tone softening but becoming more earnest: "Wenhe, remember before, I valued you the most, even more than that brat Yan Fenghuo."
Back then, you were daring and fearless, always carrying the boldness of a newborn calf, just like—just like Jiang Mu now.
He walked to the window, gazing at the gray sky outside, his voice tinged with reminiscence and regret: "But I don't know when it started, you changed. You became more and more cautious, more and more complacent, and lost that drive."
"But I don't blame you. Everyone has their own ambitions and different goals."
"More than half of the people who joined the Demon Slayer Division were after the cultivation resources provided by the imperial court, which were far superior to those of the martial arts sects, as well as the status and position that came with being an official."
Of the remaining people, some are just looking for a peaceful life, while others are after wealth and status—tell me, how many are truly dedicated to slaying demons and monsters, solely to restore a clear sky for the people?
Wenhe opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Tian Wenjing continued, "When I went to the countryside to collect taxes, I was so angry that I killed those thugs who oppressed the people. The general's wife practiced evil arts and harmed so many innocent children. I was so angry that I killed her right in front of you."
On their way to Black Wind Valley to exorcise demons, they encountered the remnants of Tiger Vanguard's main force. Even Yan Fenghuo, the "Desperate Yama," dared not engage, but only he did—
In my opinion, at least this young Jiang is genuinely sincere in his desire to slay the demon.
Tian Wenjing turned around and looked at Wenhe: "I may be blind and easily misjudge people, but my heart is not blind!"
It is a blessing for the Demon Slaying Division of Huzhou City to have such a person, and it is also a blessing for my Daqing!
Do you understand?
Wenhe shuddered, his eyes filled with resentment and helplessness.
He naturally understood the unspoken meaning behind his old boss's words.
In short, don't expect me to stand up for you. From this day forward, no one in the Demon Slayer Division of Huzhou City is allowed to cause trouble for Jiang Mu!
Wenhe closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, all that remained in his eyes was a forced darkness.
He stood up and stiffly cupped his hands towards Tian Wenjing: "This subordinate understands."
He had come excitedly after learning that Jiang Mu and Tian Wenjing had clashed, hoping to use his past relationship as Tian Lao's favored subordinate to add fuel to the fire and sow discord.
I never expected that this would be the result.
He is unwilling!
Why is it that a playboy who used to only know how to play around with women can now ride roughshod over him, making him afraid to even breathe?
But what can you do if you're unwilling to accept it?
Zai Qingshan, Tian Wenjing, Ling Ye—all these important figures were on Jiang Mu's side.
What else can he do but tuck his tail between his legs?
"Elder Tian, please rest. I still have some tasks to handle, so I won't disturb you any longer."
Wenhe bowed again, his voice hoarse, and turned to leave.
His silhouette exuded a deep sense of despondency and gloom.
Tian Wenjing watched his retreating figure disappear through the door, shook his head, and muttered to himself, "I hope that kid surnamed Jiang won't become like that in the future."
Wenhe walked out of the courtyard with a dark face, feeling extremely depressed.
As soon as I stepped out the door, I saw a pretty young woman arguing with the guards at the gate.
"What's wrong?"
Wenhe was already in a bad mood, and upon seeing this, he frowned and demanded an explanation.
The guard bowed immediately: "Master Wen, this woman says she wants to report a crime and specifically wants to see Manager Tian. I told her to go to her branch office to report the crime, but she refuses to leave."
"Should we report it to the police?"
Wen He looked the woman up and down. "What case are you reporting?"
This woman was none other than Zhang Daxiao's childhood sweetheart, Ruyan.
At this moment, she was clutching a Na Yin stone tightly in her hand, her face showing tension, trepidation, and excitement.
She found this Na Yin stone.
Although she had received Zhao Gongzi's care last night, she couldn't sleep well all night because of Jiang Mu's fierce appearance and murderous warning.
I kept thinking about whether or not to return the gifts.
My headache was even worse when I woke up the next day.
He had no choice but to force himself to go out, hoping to find a doctor to prescribe some calming medicine.
To my utter surprise, I found this thing on the way back.
At first, she didn't know what it was; she just touched it out of curiosity, and then she heard people talking inside.
Upon closer listening, it turned out to be the voice of Jiang, the patriarch who had hit him!
Moreover, the content is incredibly explosive.
At that moment, Ruyan was excited.
She wasn't stupid; she immediately realized what this thing meant to Jiang Mu.
That's leverage!
It's the Achilles' heel!
Her first thought was to use it to threaten Jiang Mu and get that arrogant man under her control.
With this, you can have whatever you want in the future.
Return the gift?
Hmph, not only will she not back down, she'll make that guy compensate her double!
But after calming down, she remembered what Young Master Zhao had said in the carriage last night.
Young Master Zhao was cursing and swearing, saying he would find his uncle, the newly appointed prefect, to gather evidence of Jiang Mu and others' corruption and embezzlement, and imprison them all to vent his anger.
But after the argument ended, Young Master Zhao said dejectedly that even if he found evidence, he wouldn't dare to take any rash action.
The Demon Slayers are ruthless killers.
Once they realize they are being threatened, they will definitely try to silence them.
Thinking of this, Ruyan broke out in a cold sweat.
Yes, if I rashly threaten Jiang Mu, that guy might really resort to desperate measures and kill me to silence me.
At that point, forget about any benefits; you might not even be able to save your life.
What should we do then?
After much deliberation, Ruyan decided to hand this item over to the other high-ranking officials of the Demon Slayer Division.
She no longer sought any benefit from Jiang Mu.
She would feel relieved as long as she could put that despicable guy in jail.
The gifts don't need to be returned.
Moreover, once Jiang Mu falls from power, his two subordinates, Zhang Dasui and Zhang Dasui, will likely be implicated as well.
Thus, the scene unfolded where she came to the deputy director's courtyard to request an audience.
"I—I have an important case that I must discuss with Lord Tian."
Ru Yan sensed the official authority emanating from Wen He and stammered, "Please trouble this gentleman to lead me inside."
"What kind of case is it?"
"I—I—"
Seeing that the woman was stammering and couldn't give a clear answer, Wenhe lost his patience and waved his hand, saying, "There are different branches for reporting cases. Go to the branch near where you live. Don't cause trouble here."
Having said that, he turned and left.
"grown ups!"
In her desperation, Ru Yan grabbed Wen He's sleeve. "This is absolutely crucial! I—I have evidence! I can prove that there's a traitor within your Demon Slayer Division who's colluding with demons!"
"What did you say?"
Wenhe's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he turned around abruptly, staring intently at Ruyan.
"I----"
Ruyan was so frightened by him that she took a step back, her face turning pale.
Wenhe's gaze suddenly fell on her tightly clenched right hand, and he asked, "What are you holding? Take it out!"
Ruyan hesitated for a moment.
However, the next second, her wrist was gripped by a large, iron-like hand.
"what!"
Ru Yan felt a sharp pain and involuntarily released her grip.
The Nayin Stone then fell into Wenhe's hands.
"A Nayin Stone?"
Wenhe looked at the object in his hand, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Where did you get this?"
Ru Yan rubbed her reddened wrist and answered honestly with a sob in her voice, "I picked it up on the road."
Seeing that the woman didn't seem to be lying, Wenhe walked to the side and released the sound from the Nayin Stone.
As the clear voice of the conversation entered his ears, Wenhe was first stunned, and then his expression changed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
From shock to disbelief —
Then came an overwhelming sense of ecstasy and excitement!
"What a brilliant Jiang Mu!"
He gripped the Na Yin Stone tightly, turned around, and rushed into the courtyard!
He had only rushed a few steps when he suddenly stopped and shouted to a trusted confidant not far away, "Xu Gang, come here!"
The man named Xu Gang quickly jogged forward.
Wenhe lowered his voice and spoke very quickly: "Immediately take a few brothers to guard outside the Eighth Hall's office and keep an eye on the brothers Jin Daxiao and Zhang Xiaokui."
Once you receive my order, act immediately and apprehend them!
Xu Gang was somewhat bewildered by this sudden order: "Master, what—what did Zhang Da Xiao and the others do wrong?"
"Just go when I tell you to! Stop with the nonsense!"
Wen He's face darkened, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "Remember, keep a close watch on them! Await my news!"
Xu Gang's heart skipped a beat, and he dared not ask any more questions. He quickly nodded, "Yes, I will take care of it right away!"
Wen He took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, gripped the Na Yin Stone, turned and strode into the courtyard, calling out to Ru Yan, "You come in too!"
Wang Ershang had been watching this scene closely, and noticed that the atmosphere seemed a bit off.
He leaned closer and asked curiously, "What's wrong, Brother Xu?"
Xu Gang glanced at him, said nothing, and left with his men.
Previously, Wang Ershang was Wen He's confidant. But ever since he spoke up for Jiang Mu last time, he has been neglected by Wen He and eventually ostracized by others, becoming a marginal figure in the Third Hall.
Watching the crowd hurry away, Wang Ershang had a vague sense of unease.
Especially after hearing the name "Jiang Mu" just now.
He followed after him, but when he saw that Xu Gang was heading towards the Eighth Hall of the government, his expression changed.
After some internal hesitation, she gritted her teeth, took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, turned around and took a shortcut, and ran as fast as she could towards the courtyard where Jiang Mu lived.
The Jiang family courtyard.
Wang Ershang pounded on the courtyard gate, panting heavily.
-
Soon, the courtyard gate opened.
The person who opened the door was a slender, ordinary-looking young woman.
"Is Master Jiang home? I have something extremely urgent to discuss with him," Wang Ershang said urgently, not even bothering to catch his breath.
Bai Xiang turned around and glanced at the courtyard.
Jiang Mu was shirtless and covered in sweat, accompanying Yuan Aqing in her cultivation in the courtyard.
Hearing the commotion, Jiang Mu stopped his stance and walked over with his knife in hand.
"It's you, Wang Ershang?"
Jiang Mu was somewhat surprised, wiped her sweat with a towel, and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Wang Ershang glanced at Bai Xiang, his face showing reluctance: "Hall Master Jiang, could we—have a word in private?"
Jiang Mu laughed heartily, reached out and pulled Bai Xiang's slender waist into his arms, bringing her to his sweaty side: "We're family, so speak freely."
Bai Xiang was already used to his behavior, but her pretty face flushed slightly, she glared at him, and did not break free.
Wang Ershang was stunned for a moment, recalling the young master Jiang's past reputation for "playboy" behavior, and was at a loss for words.
He composed himself and quickly recounted what he had seen and heard outside the deputy director's courtyard.
Finally, he said with great concern, "Master Jiang, I don't know the specifics, but judging from my master's expression, he seems to have some knowledge of something."
Wang Ershang did not want to be a traitor.
But he couldn't stand idly by when faced with Jiang Mu, the benefactor who had once saved his life.
Jiang Mu narrowed her eyes, lost in thought.
He patted Wang Ershang on the shoulder and said calmly, "I understand. Thank you for bringing the news. You should go back now, lest your people in your guild see you and cause trouble."
Wang Ershang nodded, said no more, and turned to leave.
Jiang Musong released the cypress incense, walked back to the courtyard, picked up the knife, and continued practicing as if nothing had happened, her expression showing no change whatsoever.
After a while, he asked Bai Xiang for a towel, and while wiping the sweat off his body, he beckoned Yuan Aqing, who was practicing horse stance, to his side: "Little Aqing, help the master with something."
Yuan Aqing immediately stood up straight and nodded vigorously: "What are your orders, sir?"
Jiang Mu leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words quickly.
A moment later, Yuan Aqing changed into an inconspicuous outfit and slipped out of the courtyard.
Inside the deputy director's study.
Wenhe could not hide his excitement, his face flushed red:
-
-
"Mr. Tian, the evidence is now irrefutable and irrefutable!"
Jiang Mu is a mole lurking within our Demon Slayer Division. I suggest we immediately order his arrest.
To prevent this kid from getting wind of it and fleeing to avoid punishment!
As Tian Wenjing listened to the conversation playing repeatedly in the Na Yin Stone on the table, his brows furrowed into a deep "川" shape.
He never expected things to take such a dramatic turn.
The main thing is that it's too coincidental.
The coincidence is so striking that it arouses suspicion.
Tian Wenjing's gaze fell on Ruyan, who was trembling in the corner.
This woman was just taught a lesson by Jiang Mu in the street last night, and today she just happened to find such damaging evidence against Jiang Mu?
Judging from the questioning just now, the woman seemed panicked, which didn't seem fake; she probably really did find it.
This is even stranger.
"Tian Lao!"
Seeing Tian Wenjing remain silent, Wenhe stamped his foot in frustration. "What are you still hesitating about? I admit, Jiang Mu is exceptionally talented, a rare find. But he's colluding with demons!"
How many brothers of our Demon Slayer Division died during the last Mist Demon invasion? Perhaps he contributed to that bloodshed!
Furthermore, this humble servant strongly suspects that Jiang Mu's so-called demon-slaying achievements during this period were likely deliberately orchestrated by his master to help him accumulate prestige and advance his career quickly!
Upon hearing this, Tian Wenjing's eyes flashed.
He carefully reviewed Jiang Mu's resume and found that several cases were indeed suspicious, with the process going too smoothly.
"Elder Tian, there's no time to lose! I'll personally lead men to arrest Jiang Mu!"
Wenhe couldn't contain himself and turned to leave.
Thank God!
He finally found Jiang Mu's Achilles' heel.
The suffocating feeling of being overwhelmed by the other party will be repaid today with interest!
Just thinking about it is exhilarating.
"etc!"
Tian Wenjing stopped him in a deep voice, "This matter is of great importance. You come with me to see the Re-Director and let him make the decision. After all, he is the one in charge of the Demon Slaying Division in Huzhou City."
Wenhe opened his mouth, but seeing that Tian Wenjing had already walked towards the door, he had no choice but to suppress his anxiety and quickly follow.
It's not even noon yet.
The door to the Jiang family's courtyard was knocked on again.
Jiang Mu opened the door, and standing outside was a trusted confidant of Zai Qingshan who often came to deliver messages.
"Master Jiang, the lord requests your immediate presence; there is an urgent mission to be assigned."
The confidant remained calm and composed.
Jiang Mu nodded: "Okay, let me change my clothes."
After changing into a clean set of Demon Slayer's official robes, Jiang Mu followed his trusted confidant to the office.
As soon as he entered the gate of the yamen, he keenly sensed that something was amiss.
Although it was solemn on ordinary days, today it exuded a sense of sternness and tension.
We arrived at the council chamber.
Wow, that's quite a show of force.
Apart from Ran Qingshan and Tian Wenjing, who were seated in the main seats, all the other hall masters were present.
The moment Jiang Mu stepped across the threshold, all eyes turned to him.
Tian Wenjing's gaze was complex, filled with scrutiny and hesitation.
Wenhe's eyes burned with smug satisfaction, almost overflowing with pleasure.
Yan Fenghuo and Xu Fu, who were usually on good terms with Jiang Mu, looked worried and puzzled.
The other hall masters either watched coldly, harbored resentment, or were simply gloating and waiting to see the show.
Meanwhile, Zai Qingshan, who was sitting in the main seat, was looking down at the teacup in his hand, and his expression was not visible.
Jiang Mu remained calm as he stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "This humble servant, Jiang Mu, greets Chief Supervisor Ran and Deputy Chief Supervisor Tian."
His gaze swept over his colleagues, a look of confusion on his face. "Why have you all gathered here today?"
Could it be that there is a major demonic threat that requires our combined efforts to deal with?
"Hall Master Jiang."
Wenhe spoke slowly, staring at him with a sinister gaze, "Have you ever heard a saying?"
"What did you say?"
Jiang Mu looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Wen He's lips curled into a cold smile as he said, enunciating each word clearly, "The net of Heaven is vast, and though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it!"
Jiang Mu was taken aback, his expression of confusion deepening: "What do you mean by that, Hall Master Wen? I am ignorant, please enlighten me."
"What do you mean?"
Wen He scoffed, his eyes fixed on Jiang, who was like a lamb to the slaughter. "Master Jiang, your acting is usually quite good; you've fooled everyone. Tell me, how did you collude with the Mist Demon, leak intelligence, and cause the deaths of so many of my brothers?"
"What?!"
Jiang Mu's eyes widened, her face filled with shock and absurdity. "Master Wen, what nonsense are you spouting? I don't understand a word you say!"
The hall was quiet.
Xu Fu wanted to speak, but Ran Qingshan glared at him sternly and stopped him.
"They won't shed a tear until they see the coffin!"
Wenhe snorted coldly, too lazy to beat around the bush with him anymore.
He took out the Nayin Stone.
The next moment, Jiang Mu's voice came from the Na Yin Stone: "Baby, listen to me, you must leave Huzhou City first thing tomorrow morning—this city protection formation is about to fail, and a great demon will soon be attacking—I don't want to see you die—"
Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Mu's expression changed instantly.
He stared at Wen He in disbelief, his lips trembling, pointing at the Na Yin Stone: "Hall Master Wen, this—"
this----"
Everyone reacted differently to his panicked expression.
It’s over.
It seems there's no doubt that Jiang Mu is the mole.
Looking at Jiang Mu, who was terrified and helpless, Wen He felt an unprecedented sense of pleasure, and all the frustration he had felt over the past few days vanished.
He slammed his hand on the table beside him and shouted sternly, "Jiang Mu, the evidence is now irrefutable and irrefutable! What else do you have to say?!"
Do you still want to argue that the sound in this Nayin Stone isn't yours?
"Isn't this Mrs. Shen?!"
Jiang Mu pressed on, "Master Wen, I just want to know, where did you get this Na Yin Stone?"
Wen He sneered: "Never mind where you came from. Now that your collusion with demons is confirmed, you had better confess who else in Huzhou City is your accomplice, otherwise—don't blame us for being ruthless."
Jiang Mu looked around: "You all also believe that I am a traitor colluding with demons?"
No one answered.
Silence itself is an answer.
Several skilled guards were already stationed at the entrance.
Tian Wenjing's voice sounded old and tired: "Hall Master Jiang, at least explain what's going on."
"explain?"
Jiang Mu suddenly slapped her thigh hard, looking heartbroken. "Old Tian, you—oh dear, how could you be so foolish!"
He pointed at Wen He and shouted, "Master Wen, you've been tricked! You've been played!"
Wenhe was taken aback: "What?"
Jiang Mu cupped his hands in greeting to Ran Qingshan and Tian Wenjing, then took out a Na Yin Stone from his pocket and announced loudly, "Gentlemen, what a coincidence!"
I have also come across a similar piece of evidence, and you may all be interested to hear it.
After saying that, he activated the Na Yin Stone.
The next moment, Wenhe's voice came from the Nayin Stone: "Master, please rest assured, I, Wenhe, swear to serve Lord Mist Demon with my life! Last time Lord Mist Demon was defeated, it was because I, Wenhe, failed to deliver the intelligence in time. Please give your subordinate a chance to redeem himself!"
"???"
The crowd looked at each other, completely astonished.
What's going on?
How come another mole has appeared? And it's Master Wen again?
Are these two moles playing a game of self-destruction?
Wen He's smug smile froze, his eyes bulging as he pointed at the Na Yin Stone in Jiang Mu's hand, his lips trembling: "You—you—"
His mind went blank; he was completely unable to comprehend what was happening before his eyes.
What's going on?
Just then, a guard rushed in, cupped his hands, and said, "My lord, someone just found a Na Yin Stone on the street, saying that it contains important information."
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this, and an extremely absurd premonition arose in their hearts.
Ran Qingshan said calmly, "Bring it here."
"yes!"
The guard presented the Na Yin Stone.
Ran Qingshan made a sound.
This time, it was Xu Fu's voice: "Damn it! That bastard Ran Qingshan doesn't respect me, looks down on me, and thinks I, Xu Fu, am just a leftover!"
"Master, from this day forward, I, Xu Fu, am Lord Mist Demon's dog! Woof woof!"
"#!"
Xu Fu immediately bristled, "How come I'm a mole too?! And I'm even barking?"
He quickly said to Ran Qingshan, "Sir, I would never curse you like that. Although that's what I think, bah! That's not what I really mean!"
But it's not over yet.
Immediately afterwards, more and more Na Yin stones were brought in.
"My lord, the East Street patrol team has brought over a Na Yin Stone, saying they found it by the roadside—"
"The West City branch sent over a Na Yin stone, saying it was handed over by the people—"
"Report! The guards at the south gate have brought it—"
The sounds emanating from these sound-absorbing stones included those of Yan Fenghuo, as well as those of other hall masters.
There was even Ran Qingshan's own voice: "Being a chief is so boring, it's much more exciting to be an undercover agent for demons—"
In short, in a very short time, everyone sitting in this hall became a traitor colluding with demons!
Everyone's a villain!
In an instant, the entire hall descended into chaos.
Everyone was baffled by this outrageous operation.
"What the hell is going on?!"
"I've become a mole too!?"
'
Jiang Mu watched the chaotic scene with a cold eye, secretly amused.
Do you really think I, Jiang, have no backup plan?
These sounds were, of course, recorded by him, and these Na Yin stones were also things he had plundered from the Shen family last time.
Don't forget, after killing the fox demon, he obtained a fox demon shadow that could mimic anyone's voice.
This function was used once more when investigating Madam Liu.
When the Shen family obtained those Na Yin Stones, Jiang Mu had a gut feeling that there were definitely more than just these.
Even that idiot Madam Shen knew to make backups, but the person behind the scenes didn't?
From that moment on, Jiang Mu had already taken precautions.
It wasn't until Yan Fenghuo took him on a mission to test him that Jiang Mu finally realized his precarious situation and began to plan his next move.
He then used demonic energy to re-refine those Na Yin stones, and then recorded them one by one.
Record everyone's video.
It directly dissipated the fox demon's demonic shadow.
Unexpectedly, it finally came in handy.
Seeing that the time was right, Jiang Mu took a deep breath and, with an air of righteous indignation, loudly proclaimed, "Gentlemen! Don't you understand now? This is an enemy's trick! Their aim is to confuse us, sow discord among us, and make us distrust each other, so they can defeat us from within!"
He looked at Ran Qingshan, his voice filled with anguish, and said, "Sir, there are bad people among the crowd!!"
Upon hearing this, the other hall masters immediately joined in with curses and swears.
At this moment, whoever doesn't show any excitement or anger is the mole.
Jiang Mu looked at Wen He, who was staring blankly, as if he had lost his parents, and sighed, "Master Wen, when I found this Na Yin Stone, I immediately knew it was fake."
Because I trust Master Wen's character, I know he could never be a mole! So I kept it to myself, afraid of hurting the feelings of my colleagues.
I also plan to destroy it quietly to prevent it from getting out, ruining your reputation, and disturbing the hearts of the brothers.
But I never expected this, Master Wen!
You—you actually fell for the enemy's trick so easily, and after obtaining a counterfeit Na Yin Stone, you couldn't wait to jump out.
What will your brothers think of you? How can Elder Tian and Manager Ran trust you again?!
"You—I—am not—this—"
Wenhe was completely flustered.
Pointing at Jiang Mu, and then looking at the Na Yin Stone in his hand that he cherished, he felt dizzy and his vision went black.
The way others looked at Wenhe also changed.
Look at how much Master Jiang trusts you and how much he considers the bigger picture.
Where is Wenhe?
They would seize any found item as if it were a treasure, rushing to report it without hesitation, wishing they could trample their colleague to death immediately!
This difference in perspective and mindset is immediately apparent!
Jiang Mu shook his head, walked over and patted Wen He on the shoulder, sighing, "Master Wen, you just don't understand the principles of recording."
