Chapter 1745 - 1831: The Real Mole
Su Xuan never imagined someone would actually place a large amount of TNT in his Heroic Manor. At this moment, he felt this person was definitely no ordinary character."Brother, I know you actually don’t want to investigate this matter. You intentionally want to give this person a chance, but sometimes you need to cut through the Gordian knot. If we hadn’t discovered it in time, maybe the entire Heroic Manor would have gone to the Western Heaven with Tathagata!"
Speaking of which, he actually felt a bit relieved. Bu Daming just casually mentioned it at the time and didn’t expect this situation to really occur.
After all, explosives aren’t that easy to get into Heroic Manor, but unexpectedly, after this investigation, he couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. It truly terrified him.
"Bu Daming, who do you think this person might be?"
Su Xuan knew Bu Daming was right; if they let this matter continue, it might hurt more people. If not for Bu Daming today, it might have resulted in many unimaginable outcomes.
Earlier, Su Xuan thought he could let this person mend their ways, or at least escape. Su Xuan wouldn’t really make things difficult for him; everyone makes mistakes. But the result was clear: this person didn’t think that way. He wanted the lives of everyone in Heroic Manor.
"The person capable of doing this is certainly no ordinary individual, at least someone with significant influence in Heroic Manor. After a major sweep, few remain. Zhu Yeqing and they are newcomers; they naturally couldn’t do it, lack the brains and motive. I wasn’t in Heroic Manor before, so clearly, it wouldn’t be me. The only ones with such influence are two people!!
Su Xuan took a deep breath.
"You’re saying Brother Meng and Hu Shulin!"
Su Xuan really didn’t want to admit such a thing, but he knew it was true. Whether he admitted it or not, it was real; the mole was undoubtedly one of them.
"Judging by various signs, Brother Meng couldn’t be the mole!"
Bu Daming spoke again.
"Hey... Hu was someone I subdued from the Underworld. He really admired me, was genuinely obedient, not deceitfully so!"
At this moment, Su Xuan actually believed it wasn’t Brother Meng. That guy was even more active than him in dealing with the Qingzhu Gang.
So the only candidate was Hu Shulin. To be honest, after realizing this possibility, Su Xuan hoped it was all a lie. Hu Shulin had been with him for some time, and Su Xuan held a good impression of him. He even planned to leave Heroic Manor in the care of him and Brother Meng before he left.
But Su Xuan didn’t expect Hu Shulin to betray Heroic Manor and himself. For a while, Su Xuan was curious about how Heroic Manor could lose so badly. Eighteen Sword had formidable skills in Miaojiang, all top-notch, and those from the Qingzhu Gang weren’t real experts. It didn’t make sense for them to be so formidable.
So the only possibility was that Heroic Manor was betrayed by an insider.
Initially, Su Xuan considered if it were the three traitors he had already disabled, but thinking back, it was unlikely. Although those three had some Kung Fu, they lacked the skill; it had to be someone able to mobilize experts, and clearly, that person was Hu Shulin.
Yet, Su Xuan didn’t want to believe any of it, for simple reasons: Hu Shulin once risked his life to save Xue Mengxue, which was true. If he betrayed, why bother?
Of course, Su Xuan didn’t want to blame Hu Shulin. Even if he wronged him, if he could change, Su Xuan would let it go. But clearly, this was wishful thinking.
"You wonder if he has a reason to betray!"
Watching Su Xuan, Bu Daming curiously asked.
"Yes, I really can’t understand why he would betray!"
"That’s uncertain. If I’m not mistaken, he betrayed you and the Heroic Manor because of your wife!"
"What did you say!"
Su Xuan’s heart skipped a beat as he looked at Bu Daming; it was something he completely overlooked.
"Brother, honestly, I understand your confidence in your wife, but don’t have the same for a normal man, okay? Xue Mengxue is stunningly beautiful, with a great personality. Who wouldn’t be moved by such a woman, especially over time; it’s deadly. Hu Shulin, being a man, did you not consider this when you asked him to look after Xue Mengxue?"
"Cough, cough..."
In that instant, Su Xuan felt truly shocked. He never really thought this way.
But with Bu Daming’s reminder, he suddenly remembered that Hu Shulin’s concern for Xue Mengxue might be over the top. And he recalled that day in his room, when Hu Shulin walked in, he felt a Killing Aura, which must have come from him.
"Oh no..."
Suddenly shouting, Su Xuan remembered he had asked Hu Shulin to protect Xue Mengxue that day, which was troublesome.
Rushing out, Su Xuan quickly reached the outside of Xue Mengxue’s room, ready to kick the door open when Bu Daming yelled.
"Don’t kick the door!"
The shout was almost throat-tearing, louder than the yard’s noise. Su Xuan’s foot was out but pulled back forcefully.
He nearly acted on impulse. Bu Daming had just searched all rooms but hadn’t gone to Xue Mengxue’s. The reason he told Su Xuan not to kick the door was because there must be a trap.
"Phew..."
Bu Daming took a deep breath, feeling sweat continuously dripping from his forehead. In that instant, he truly almost felt scared shitless.
When he reached Su Xuan, he quickly said,
"So long, Xue Mengxue has not appeared; she must be absent. The door is closed; there must be explosives! Enter through the window!"
Finishing his words, Bu Daming quickly led Su Xuan to the window. Opening it, they gasped.
