Chapter 489: sigh! What an Act
Translator: 549690339
This was the Beast Kings ‘plan.
The news wasn’t released at the same time. The news was carried out one by one in each city. The time and location of the surprise attack were different in each city.
In this case, as long as they sent people to pay attention to the situation at the border, they could see which area the humans would react to and when they would react. They could then lock onto which city had a traitor.
Moreover, the plans of all the City Lords were the same. The news did not reach everyone’s ears, but reached the small captain. Even if it was leaked, not everyone would know in a short period of time.
This was also the reason why the spies that Moxiu had planted in the other cities did not give him any information.
The spies were all new to the organization, so the number of people they could come into contact with was limited. Their positions were not high, so it would be difficult to get any information.
When they found out which city the traitor was in, all the City Lords would just have to come out and explain it to them like the City Lord of Ape 7 City.
However!
Even if they did so well, it would still leave a hidden danger of instability in the morale of the army. If they could not catch all the traitors this time, it would leave a huge hidden danger.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen it was Ape 7 City’s turn to carry out the mission, it was already nearing the end. In other words, all the top ten cities had experienced the same thing.
The morale of all the cities had been affected. This was the only good news that MO Li had heard.
After the City Lord explained the ins and outs of the matter, he continued,” From today onwards, Ape City will be sealed off. Fox City 4 and Fox City 6 will arrive in three days to assist us in our investigation. The first batch of investigation targets will be the captain, then the captain, and then the captain. We will investigate from top to bottom, focusing on the members who have been in the city for the past four months.”
“I could have delayed it for three days and waited for the people from the other two cities to come before investigating, but I want to give you a chance. No matter who you are, you have been here for so long. I can promise you here that as long as you confess, I’ll guarantee that you won’t die.”
“From today onwards, until we find the traitor, no one is allowed to go out. All training will stop! Dismissed!”
All the captains stayed behind. The city lord and the three head captains had to investigate one by one.
MO Li immediately gave his team a lesson with a serious expression.
“Did you all hear what happened?”
The class leaders led by Fourth Brother said,”l heard it!”
MO Li looked at Fourth Brother and said,” I followed the instructions of my superiors and didn’t tell any of you about this matter. I believe that you are not suspicious, but you can’t let your guard down. You must carefully observe all the people and things around you. Whoever can find this traitor will be the hero of the entire Ape 7 City.”
The few of them nodded and prepared to go back to the meeting to convey MO Li’s instructions.
Everyone else had left, leaving only Fourth Brother behind.
The only person MO Li had told about this was Ling! This was also MO Li’s backup plan.
The higher-ups said that they could not spread the news, but it was impossible to not tell anyone. He might as well tell Fourth Brother. It could reduce the risk for him and also show his trust in Fourth Brother.
Fourth Brother was very happy when he heard the news. He felt that he had not followed the wrong person. MO Li had told him such an important secret.
At that time, he was pleased with himself, but now, he was miserable.
“Second Brother, I didn’t…” Fourth Brother leaned closer to MO Li and said. MO Li interrupted Fourth Brother and said,””Let’s talk when we get back!”
After returning to his residence, Fourth Brother immediately explained,””Second brother, I didn’t spread this matter, so I can’t be a spy!”
MO Li frowned and knew what she was thinking. Fourth Brother was afraid that MO Li would expose him, so he pulled MO Li’s leg and said, “Second Brother, you can’t tell your superiors about this. Otherwise, I’ll lose a layer of skin.”
MO Li shook off Fourth Brother and said, “‘What are you afraid of? You’ve been a squad leader for so many years, and you’re already panicking over such a small matter? I’m the one who spread the news. I’m not afraid, so what are you afraid of?”
“How can I not be afraid?” Fourth Brother said with a forehead full of sweat. I know about this matter. After the investigation and interrogation, even if the higher-ups don’t do anything to me, I can’t keep my position as the class monitor!”
“What are you afraid of?” MO Li asked. I was the one who told you, not you.
You’re so afraid because you told someone else!”
Fourth Brother looked at MO Li in horror and did not say anything for a moment.
MO Li stood up and grabbed Fourth Brother, who was retreating, and said, “Tell who? Quickly tell me!”
Fourth Brother was a little scared. MO Li was really angry this time. She didn’t say anything and just shook her head.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMO Li pressed Fourth Brother against the wall and said,’”Why didn’t you say anything? Don’t you understand the current situation? I’m in the same boat as you. My responsibility is greater than yours. If you don’t tell the truth, we can only wait for the investigation to come. Do you know what the consequences will be if we find out that you’re lying?”
Fourth Brother was a smart person. If the investigation was fruitless and the mole did not come out to admit it, the final possible action of the higher-ups was to execute all the suspects.
Lying was suspicious. It was impossible for Fourth Brother not to know the truth.
After a fierce mental struggle, Fourth Brother finally confessed.
It seemed like MO Li would tell the truth when the higher-ups investigated him. If they investigated his fourth brother, he would die if he didn’t tell the truth. It was better to tell him and everyone would think of a way together.
He immediately wrote down a list of all the people he had spread.
MO Li took it and took a look. Good heavens, this fourth brother was really not a kind person. The people on this list were almost everyone he knew.
In other words, after MO Li told Fourth Brother the news, Fourth Brother immediately found everyone he knew and started bragging.
MO Li punched Fourth Brother in the face. On the surface, she was furious, but in fact, she was overjoyed.
This fourth brother was really a good teammate. With so many people knowing the information, it would be difficult for the City Lord to investigate. He could also use the people on the list.
The more chaotic the situation was, the safer MO Li would be.
He felt bitter in his heart too. In the past, similar incidents had happened. The news had reached the squad leader, and the higher-ups had clearly said that they could not tell anyone else. However, in at most a week, the news would be sent out. There was no problem at all.
In this month, Fourth Brother was already depressed. He had changed from a small captain to a big class monitor. Many people around him had also distanced themselves from him.
It wasn’t easy to get information that others didn’t know. How could Fourth Brother not brag about it? Who knew that he would encounter such a thing?
Now, he might be the one who spread the news the most. Even if he was not suspected, his superiors would lose trust in him.
Sigh! This pretentious act..
