Chapter 1180 Playing With People’s Mind!
“I have said that there’s only one chance. If you can’t find the hacker, I’m sorry, we have to lock all of you up and let the military court take over. Lingtian can’t afford to keep suspicious people. Even if we know that some of you are innocent, we must forsake you.” Li Lanfeng emphasised his words.
“I really didn’t do it.” Tao Xiaotao looked as though he wanted to cry. He looked at Ling Yi and said, “Brother Ling, tell them that I won’t do such things.”
Ling Yi looked at Tao Xiaotao and his companions beside him. He hugged his head in pain and squatted down. He shouted in a low voice, “I don’t know! I really don’t know!”
“It’s Tiange.” Tao Xiaotao thought about something. He looked at Tiange and said, “I remember that Yi Tiange asked me to send a message to my family to tell them that I’m safe. That’s why I send the message. If not, I wouldn’t have sent a message.”
Yi Tiange was shocked. “Xiaotao, be careful with your words.”
“Isn’t that what happened?” Tao Xiaotao questioned him. “Why did you ask me to send the message?”
Yi Tiange’s face turned red with anger. He took two deep breaths to calm himself before explaining, “You said you missed your family and wondered how your parents and siblings were doing. You wondered if they would worry about your safety so I told you to send a message to them. If you didn’t say all those misleading words, I wouldn’t have suggested
it.”
“Yes. I think that’s what happened. Why did I suddenly miss my family?” Tao Xiaotao carefully recalled what happened and admitted that what Yi Tiange said was true.
Suddenly, Tao Xiaotao looked at Rong Ziruo in astonishment. “It’s you. You were the one who asked me about my family. That’s why I missed them. Why did you ask me about them?”
Rong Ziruo was stunned by Tao Xiaotao’s accusations. He shook his head furiously. “Weren’t we just randomly talking. What are you saying?” Rong Ziruo frantically tried to remember what had happened in the room. As time went by, he slowly got more anxious. Cold sweat formed on his forehead.
“Don’t be agitated. Think slowly.” Li Lanfeng smiled. The encouragement in his eyes comforted Rong Ziruo.
“Tsk tsk tsk, Brother Feng is so ruthless.” Xie Yi couldn’t help but mutter.
“Ruthless? How?” Luo Lang was puzzled. Big Leader Li was giving them a chance to refute his claim. He didn’t just point his arrows at someone. In his eyes, this was fair.
“You won’t understand,” Xie Yi sighed.
Luo Lang glared at Xie Yi. In the next moment, his gaze turned calm.
“Xie Yi, don’t get overboard,” Luo Lang said indifferently.
“I understand. I won’t do it again.” Xie Yi raised his hands to surrender the moment the calm personality came out. If he treated the calm personality badly, Luo Lang would hate him. Xie Yi knew how important the calm personality was to Luo Lang. He was only second in place to Boss. He couldn’t afford to offend the calm personality
“Explain properly.” The calm personality threw this sentence down before disappearing. The eyes turned bright again.
“Actually, Brother Feng’s decision is cruel,” Xie Yi commented.
“Cruel?” Luo Lang seemed clueless.
“Friendships are formed through hardships and time. However, no matter how much thick and thin they went through, it all boils down to trust.” Xie Yi looked at Luo Lang with a complex expression. If Luo Lang knew what he was thinking, would he still trust him?
Luo Lang nodded. He agreed with what Xie Yi said.
“What Brother Feng did just destroyed the trust between them. They will be suspicious of each other and hate each other. The relationship they build over the years will disappear due to all the suspicions they have for each other. In the end, they might become strangers or even enemies. In times of danger, humans will show their true nature. The truth is always ugly.”
“This is what Lanfeng does best.” Zhao Jun interrupted them. “He always likes playing with people’s minds. However, after he followed Boss, he has been suppressing that side of him. I miss those times.”
Luo Lang and Xie Yi glared at Zhao Jun. They moved their chairs further away from him.
‘Damn it, I mustn’t get too close to this pervert. He seems happy that he made friends with a manipulative man. I might get targeted by them.’
Zhao Jun shrugged when he saw Xie Yi and Luo Lang looking at him with contempt. He was very innocent.
While Xie Yi, Luo Lang, and Zhao Jun were having their own conversation, Rong Ziruo finally remembered what had happened. He said, “I was chatting with Wuyou and Xiaotao. At the start, we were talking about Base Nebula and the battle we had. We were jealous that Brother Yi managed to gain merits through the battle. We also…” He looked carefully at Li Lanfeng before continuing, “We also talked about Leader Li’s order to kill our enemies. Of course, we knew this from Brother Yi.”
Li Lanfeng continued smiling as if he didn’t mind. Rong Ziruo felt more relaxed as he continued to recount what had happened.
“Then, we talked about Leader Li Yingjie and Head Li Shiyu. They are brothers so we said that the Li family is full of talents. Lingtian already has three people from the Li family holding high positions. Wuyou commented on how having brothers fighting with you was better than fighting alone. He said that he was the only child. He didn’t have any siblings so no one can help him.”
Rong Ziruo turned to look at Yan Wuyou. “Am I right?”
Yan Wuyou’s face was pale. He regained his composure before replying, “Yes. I even said that I admire you for having siblings. However, that was just a random topic. I didn’t have any underlying intention.”
Rong Ziruo heaved a sigh of relief when Yan Wuyou admitted what he said. He finally cleared his suspicion.
“Yes. Those words remind me of my family and my brothers and sisters.” Tao Xiaotao said excitedly. “That’s why I wanted to send them a message.”
“Yan Wuyou, the only son of the Yan family. Although it’s a sixth-rank elite family, it’s still an elite family. The resources you received are much better than your friends. Yet, you are willing to throw away your identity as a young master and follow Ling Yi. No matter how you look at it, it’s problematic.” Li Lanfeng had already investigated all their backgrounds. Since Yan Wuyou was pushed out, he exposed his real identity.
