He never expected that Li Baizhen would organize a gathering today, and he just happened to bump into it.
He waited silently for a while, and suddenly Fang Yu spotted a few familiar faces coming in together.
[Shi Chengxin: 535/755.]
[Tang Shan: 1999/1999.]
[Che Linfang: 1357/1357.]
[Hu Shusheng: 812/812.]
The demon insider F4 group!
Eh? Why is Shi Chengxin’s head wrapped in a bandage and dotted in red? Seems like he has a head injury.
Well played!
Although I didn’t take action last night, this act of pretending to be injured is still comndable, his sporadic groaning and grabbing his head, the performance is indeed approval-worthy.
At that mont, Shi Chengxin also saw Fang Yu, they exchanged glances and skillfully averted their eyes.
As for the insider F4 group, they dispersed and each found a ’friend’ group and sat down.
After waiting for a while, Yue Guang also arrived.
[Yue Guang: 2155/2155.]
Fang Yu:...
Eh?
Did I see it wrong?
Last night, Fang Yu didn’t pay much attention to Yue Guang’s blood volu, just rembered it was over two thousand.
But today, on a closer look, did this guy’s blood volu decrease?
What’s the situation? Can maximum life value drop?
Are demons that weird?
Suddenly, Fang Yu thought of a possibility.
Could it be... Yue Guang wants to produce that Qinghua Fruit, with reducing life maximum value as one of the costs?
No no no!
Fang Yu realized that his understanding was incorrect.
He was applying his own sches onto others, which was not right.
Because for demons, or other people, they don’t have the concept of life value.
The visualization, the data, was the privilege of his own skill.
So for Yue Guang’s case, he probably consud Blood Essence, decreased his constitution, to condense the Qinghua Fruit.
Looking at it this way, Yue Guang has really treated well!
Unfortunately, humans and demons are different paths.
Sorry, I want to be a good person!
While Fang Yu was thinking about this, Yue Guang also glanced over.
But it was only a brief eye contact with Fang Yu, then he casually moved his gaze away as if they were strangers.
He casually found a spot and sat down.
Fang Yu had to admire Yue Guang’s acting skills.
Last night when they parted, they were full of brotherly feelings and the atmosphere was just right.
Today, acting as if they were strangers.
Fine—
I recognize your acting skills!
Fang Yu didn’t have any acquaintances here, and no one approached him to chat. Instead, there were people around him whispering about him.
He could only awkwardly drink tea by himself.
Fortunately, within a few minutes, Li Baizhen finally appeared in the courtyard.
As Li Baizhen showed up, everyone in the courtyard suddenly quieted down.
"Boss! Why did you suddenly call us together?"
Shi Chengxin, his head wrapped in a bandage, still did not forget to liven up the atmosphere.
He was really set on ensnaring Li Baizhen.
Feeding pigs till death, huh.
Others also joined the teasing.
"Yeah boss, the fuss three days ago, everyone was so busy, the tasks are packed and there’s no ti to rest."
"Yeah, yeah, a few of our brothers died too, ah, these damned demons!"
"Right, boss, where have you been these past few days, haven’t seen you around, sister-in-law ca asking a few tis."
So even mildly complained that Li Baizhen hadn’t been managing things in the past few days.
But that was all, they were still loyal to Li Baizhen.
Li Baizhen looked at these core forces accumulated over the years with a sigh.
All these years, neither the efforts nor the operations were in vain.
Initially giving up the resources and status of his family to join the Foolish Underworld with a rush of blood to the head, he hadn’t made a mistake!
The mistake was rely his poor judgnt of character, having unknowingly let a demon-planted traitor amongst them!
Li Baizhen closed his eyes.
Thinking about all these years, all the bits and pieces he had experienced with that traitor.
Li Baizhen couldn’t guess when exactly the demon replaced the subordinate who he thought of as a brother.
Those past tis.
Those bits and pieces.
All settled in his heart.
Settling, and then, sealed.
When he opened his eyes again, Li Baizhen’s aura was sharp like a sword unsheathed, compellingly fierce!
He raised his hand to silence everyone.
Surveying the crowd, Li Baizhen was slightly startled.
Why is Diao Deyi here?
I don’t seem to have notified him to co.
But no matter.
It’s good for him to see the harshness of this world.
"Shi Chengxin, step out!"
As his voice fell.
Everyone turned to look in a certain direction.
Shi Chengxin clutched his injured head, his expression sowhat bewildered.
Looking around, then at Li Baizhen.
"?"
He giggled and stood up from his seat.
"Is the boss going to reward ? This should count as a work injury."
"Fall out!!"
The response to him was only a stern shout from Li Baizhen!
"Yes!"
Sensing the seriousness of the situation, Shi Chengxin quickly dropped his playful smile and walked over to Li Baizhen.
By this ti, everyone could sense that sothing was amiss.
The other insider F4 mbers’ faces flickered with a subtle expression that went unnoticed.
Yue Guang and Fang Yu remained impassive.
Fang Yu was puzzled in his heart.
Could it be that Li Baizhen, this blockhead, finally realizes he’s been played??
"Kneel down!"
Faced with Li Baizhen’s full montum, Shi Chengxin said with an awkward smile.
"Boss, this joke is a bit too much..."
"Kneel down!!"
Another fierce shout.
That sharp gaze, like a sheathed sword, ready to behead Shi Chengxin if he didn’t comply imdiately.
Having followed Li Baizhen for several years, Shi Chengxin was naturally familiar with Li Baizhen’s style and habits.
That look was no joke.
He would really draw the sword.
Thump.
Shi Chengxin, clutching his head, knelt down, wiped off his playful face, and cried out.
"What, what’s wrong? Boss, is there so misunderstanding? I haven’t done anything! Last night you told to..."
"Shut up!"
Shi Chengxin shut his mouth.
Because he could feel Li Baizhen’s intent to kill was very strong.
Anyone who dared disobey would certainly et with action.
The others also began to speak up at this point.
"Boss! Calm down!"
"Boss, what’s going on? Suddenly dealing with Shi Chengxin."
"Boss, after all these years as brothers, even if you want to do sothing to Shi Chengxin, you should give an explanation."
"Right, rember when your sister-in-law was seriously ill two years ago, you were too busy with missions to leave and it was Shi Chengxin who went to your house, helping before and behind, haven’t you forgotten?"
So reasoned, others appealed to emotions.
Unlike Fang Yu’s fragile foundations in this group.
Shi Chengxin, he’s been rooted here for years.
With kin and friends, suddenly Li Baizhen adopts this stance.
Not to ntion Shi Chengxin himself, even his friends couldn’t help jumping out in defense.
"Right, my wife was seriously ill, and you ca over to my house to help."
Li Baizhen’s mories were once again stirred.
"Shi Chengxin, at that ti, was it really you, or was it not you?"
These enigmatic words.
Perhaps incomprehensible to others, but clear as day to Fang Yu and the others.
Honestly, Fang Yu was also curious about when exactly Shi Chengxin was eaten and replaced by a demon.
"What are you talking about... Boss, it’s ! It’s , Shi Chengxin!"
"Have you forgotten the tis we fought side by side, fighting desperately against demons?"
"Have you forgotten the tis I took a sword for you on the front lines of fierce cases?"
"It’s , it’s , Shi Chengxin!!"
Shi Chengxin roared loudly, his voice hoarse, and his emotions intense.
However, it wouldn’t do any good with Fang Yu around.
After all, he’s a viewer!
Once it’s started, it’s started.
If he says you’re the bad guy, you’re definitely the bad guy.
What’s the saying? Vote Shi Chengxin off without listening to any explanations!
Unfortunately, the microphone wasn’t on his side.
And Fang Yu couldn’t possibly jump out to clarify the situation for Li Baizhen.
Foolish Underworld, fraught with peril, many things are better left unexposed.
However, is Li Baizhen, the brain-deficient knife-wielding good guy, finally about to confront the traitor?
Fang Yu looked at Li Baizhen.
Only to see that Li Baizhen looked pained, hesitating on his face.
Soon, he took a deep breath and regained his composure.
"Shi Chengxin, we’ve known each other as brothers for so many years."
"I’ve never doubted you, so I’ve never really checked your background."
"Until I got the news that there was a demon insider among us, then I started to doubt everyone, including you."
"Back then, I still trusted you more."
"Until last night..."
"You shouldn’t have been in a hurry to ask certain questions, even interrupting my speech forcefully."
"Too hasty, similar to your usual style, but... too hasty!"
"So, I went back overnight and checked all the files about you."
"All those past events began to resurface, the modified details in the mories, combined with the cold text of the files."
"Those subtle, discordant details made realize the truth."
"Finally, I was certain!"
"The last traitor."
"The demon amongst us, it’s you, Shi Chengxin!!"
