You were made to take the blame and go to jail, but you weren't made a master of both medicine

Qin Ran looked coldly at Long Shuo: "There's no need to tell you that."

Long Shuo was somewhat displeased after hearing this.

This kid knows how to put on airs.

At the same time, his phone rang.

Long Shuo took out his phone.

Ye Chen called.

Ye Chen is Ye Xiaofeng's son.

"Young Master Ye!"

"Don't dismiss Qin Ran yet. He's still a member of the Black Emperor Consortium. I'll need his help next."

Long Shuo frowned.

Has something happened within the Black Emperor Consortium?

Without time to think, Long Shuo said, "Okay, I understand."

"I'm going to Xijing today, we'll talk when we meet."

"OK."

After exchanging a few words, Long Shuo hung up the phone.

Qin Ran asked, "Ye Xiaofeng's phone call?"

"It's Ye Chen, Ye Xiaofeng's son. He told me not to dismiss you yet, and he also said he would come to Xijing today," Long Shuo said expressionlessly.

Qin Ran smiled and said, "In that case, you can come and go as you please now."

"Sure, you can come and go as you please. You mentioned before that Ye Xiaofeng told you something, and Ye Chen just said he'd come to Xijing to ask for your help. I'm really curious to know what happened!"

"You'll find out sooner or later, but not now."

Qin Ran had not yet figured out the other party's background.

Who knows if he might be the mole?

So I can't say now.

"As a high-ranking member of the Black Emperor Consortium, I have the right to know about your actions."

"Why are you so sure it's an operation?" Qin Ran asked in return.

"I noticed it keenly."

"Think what you want. I'm not going to tell you now. If you're unhappy and want to fight me, I'm ready anytime." Qin Ran said with a disdainful look.

Long Shuo kept his eyes fixed on Qin Ran.

At that moment, he realized something else.

"I think I know what it's about?"

"Don't make wild guesses. I told you I won't tell you."

"The reason you don't want to tell me isn't because you don't want me to know the truth, but because you're wary of me. In that case, I can guess that you're cooperating with Ye Chen to investigate the mole within the group, and I also know that this mole has been lurking in the group for many years."

Qin Ran was somewhat surprised.

This guy actually knew about this.

Did Ye Xiaofeng tell him?

In this situation, he deliberately revealed the mole's existence to avoid arousing suspicion.

Qin Ran thought for a moment and then asked, "How did you find out about this? Did Ye Xiaofeng tell you?"

"Ye Chen told me."

Qin Ran looked thoughtful.

Ye Xiaofeng entrusted the investigation of the mole to his son, Ye Chen.

Ye Chen then told Long Shuo about it.

Ye Xiaofeng had previously stated that the mole was likely one of his four subordinates.

Ye Chen then shared this news with Long Shuo, who was also one of his four subordinates.

That means Ye Chen has excluded him.

I completely trust him.

Qin Ran was unsure whether Ye Chen's judgment was correct.

He still needs to put Long Shuo to the test.

"Let's stop talking here and go somewhere else."

"Come to my office."

Long Shuo took Qin Ran to his office.

After they were seated, they continued their conversation.

Qin Ran told Long Shuo about what happened that morning.

Now that the other party already knows, there's no need for him to hide anything anymore.

What followed was a deeper test.

After Qin Ran finished speaking, he added, "I'd like to hear your opinion on this matter."

"To be honest, before Ye Chen told me, I didn't know there was a mole in the company. I had no idea what was going on. Back then, Ye Xiaofeng's poisoning caused quite a stir in the group. After we learned that he had gone to Kunlong Prison, we thought he would come back soon, but he hasn't. It's been seven years now." Long Shuo sighed.

Qin Ran then asked, "What else did Ye Chen say to you?"

Long Shuo knew that Qin Ran was testing him.

Ye Xiaotian asked him to cooperate with Ye Chen to find this mole.

She must have told him all the information.

At this point, you must be honest with him.

Otherwise, he would doubt himself.

"Ye Chen also told me that the mole was one of our Four Qilin Warriors."

Qin Ran chuckled: "Four Qilins surrender? That's an interesting name."

"This name was given to us by Ye Xiaofeng when we were mercenaries overseas. Thinking about it, that was more than 20 years ago!" Long Shuo said with a sigh.

Qin Ran added, "Ye Chen told you about the mole, which means he trusts you a lot and would never doubt you."

"Yes, Ye Xiaofeng and I have been through thick and thin together. He saved my life, and I saved his. He trusts me the most."

Qin Ran nodded repeatedly.

If that's the case, then Long Shuo can indeed be excluded.

However, it cannot be completely ruled out.

We were brothers who risked our lives to conquer the country.

There are countless examples of people betraying their monarchs afterward.

At least that's what he thinks.

We still need to observe further.

Qin Ran pulled himself together and continued, "I don't understand. Seven years, a full seven years. Ye Chen knows that the mole is one of the four of you. How could you not find the mole in seven years? To be honest, I don't believe it. There must be something fishy going on."

After Qin Ran finished speaking, she looked at Long Shuo with a scrutinizing gaze!

Are you doubting me?

"Just because Ye Chen won't doubt you doesn't mean I won't. Unless you have an absolute reason for me to choose to believe you, answer my question first."

Long Shuo looked at Qin Ran: "Your question is easy to answer. Ye Xiaotian suspects that the mole is one of the four of us, and Ye Chen also knows this, but it won't be easy to find this person."

"The four of us have roughly the same power within the group, and we each have our own power base. We keep an eye on each other."

"Moreover, the four of us are all seasoned veterans and extremely shrewd individuals, so the real mole will not be easily exposed, making it very difficult to investigate."

"Just like a thief, if he doesn't steal anything and nothing is stolen, how can you tell he's a thief?"

"I know Ye Xiaofeng asked you for help because Ye Chen told him that someone in the group has been using the dark web to transfer funds recently, which means that the mole has started to act again."

Qin Ran kept her eyes fixed on Long Shuo.

This guy spoke very sincerely.

It certainly gives people a very righteous feeling.

Qin Ran felt that things were not that simple.

It has been seven years since Ye Xiaofeng left the Black Emperor Consortium.

This mole couldn't have waited this long to make his move.

Ye Xiaofeng had previously provided an explanation.

Qin Ran felt it was not comprehensive enough, and even somewhat far-fetched.

There must be a secret here.

Moreover, he concluded that the mole did not intend to betray Ye Xiaofeng from the beginning, but rather betrayed him midway and poisoned him.

So what was his reason for betraying the party?

Qin Ran sighed slightly: "What you said earlier makes some sense. How about we wait for Ye Chen to arrive before discussing this further?"

"Sure, I'm innocent and have nothing to hide. If you want to investigate me, you can do so anytime." Long Shuo looked at Qin Ran.

Qin Ran smiled but didn't reply.

However, he did have far fewer doubts about Long Shuo.

We'll discuss the rest when Ye Chen arrives...
