Chapter 1380: The Moles in Sea City Base

About the materials that I brought back, Deputy Chief Yuan is now in full charge of the reading work. Our job is to firstly find the research reports about underground creatures, and secondly, find out if they had run any experiments or tests underground in the past few years. I suspect that what they did down there might be part of the reason why the underground environment became so poor. Having finished talking about Si Kongcens plan, Lin Qiao started telling others about why she brought those research materials back.

She folded her arms and leaned against the back of the chair as she looked at Yuan Tianxing and continued, Since we dont have any weapon experts in our base, Deputy Chief, Im afraid you need to invest some extra efforts to figure those two things out. Youre still recovering, so Im gonna let Lin Wenwen assist you. She has no other missions lately, so I think she can ease some of your burdens.

In fact, Yan Huiguang could be quite helpful for Yuan Tianxing. However, he joined the base only recently and was not yet trustworthy enough to take missions like that. Therefore, Lin Qiao did not plan to let him do the work.

On hearing her words, Yuan Tianxing couldnt help but give a glance at him and then at Lin Wenwen. He seemed to want to say something but hesitated on second thought. At last, he didnt say what he wanted to. Clearly, Lin Qiao had already made the decision. Any suggestion of his would be rejected

On hearing Lin Qiao mention her name, Lin Wenwen quickly responded, Yes.

Xie Dong, youll still be keeping an eye on those underground creatures that have gathered up. Find Si Kongchens men wholl be guiding those creatures to each base, and then figure out how exactly theyll do it. Lin Qiao turned and gave Xie Dong an order.

Yes, maam! Xie Dong nodded and responded with a bland tone.

Lin Qiao then looked at Lin Feng and said, Lin Feng, keep in touch with Sea City Base. Let me know if anything happens there ASAP.

I understand, Lin Feng nodded.

At that time, Wu Chengyue, who had returned to Sea City Base in the morning, called a meeting as well. He sat at the head of the table, with Xiao Yunlong and Zou Shihui sitting by his sides expressionlessly. He smilingly glanced at the people on the scene, who were all looking at him quietly.

The Chief of All Beings Base brought us an urgent message. It turns out that our base hasnt been guarded strictly enough. Some people still managed to bring something bad into our base. Itd be a true disaster if we let them actually use that thing on our base. Wu Chengyue was still wearing a faint smile when he said those words, but the look in his eyes was as cold as a sharp sword.

The others in the meeting room felt a great pressure suddenly descend on them. The room was so quiet that people could even hear a pin drop.

After saying that, Wu Chengyue stayed quiet and kept looking at the others with a smile. Xiao Yunlong looked around and leaned on the back of his chair as he put a hand on the table and knocked on it. He wore no expression, but his eyes were cold as well. Em, I just heard about that, he said, I have been trying to better the security work in our base. However, better an open enemy than a false friend. Its hard to dodge a stab coming from the back. I was surprised when I found the names of some of our own in the list of moles.

On hearing that, the others on the scene changed their expressions slightly. Most of them started avoiding eye contact. Soon, people found some on the scene becoming pale all of a sudden and detected obvious panic from those peoples eyes.

Why are you guys panicking? The look on your face is really ugly. You seem flustered. Are you telling us that you are the moles? Zou Shihui wore no expressions either, but he had been extra perceptive. Once he said that, the ones who wore awkward looks had their faces grow even paler. Some of them even seemed to be stunned. Noticing the weird look on their faces, the others immediately fixed eyes on them.

Xiao Licheng stood up as he stared at Li Yueshan and couldnt help but ask, Why? Whats your reason?

As a member of the intelligence department of Sea City Base who was under Wu Chengyues direct command, Li Yueshan was the perfect man to hide the truth and spread false information.

They just didnt understand why he did that. Did Sea City Base not treat him well enough? Was he not paid high enough?

Li Yueshans masculine face now looked very pale, but he wasnt panicking. On the contrary, he even seemed to be relieved a little. On hearing Xiao Lichengs question, he raised his head to give the other a glance, and then he looked at Wu Chengyue and the other two base leaders.

Wu Chengyue was looking at him as well. He never thought that one of his own men would betray him. As far as he knew, Li Yueshan would have no reason to do something like that. Therefore, he was curious about the answer to the question that Xiao Licheng just asked. What made Li Yueshan, who had been his subordinate for seven years, choose to betray him?

Li Yueshan sat there motionlessly. After looking at Xiao Licheng and Wu Chengyue, he dropped his head silently.

Arent you gonna say something? Xiao Licheng looked at the man with a deep frown.

While he was speaking, a large group of soldiers ran into the meeting room and pointed their guns at the pale-faced ones, waiting for Wu Chengyues order. Those people would be arrested once he gave a nod.

Li Yueshan did not answer Xiao Lichengs question. As the man made no reaction, Xiao Licheng couldnt help but turn to Wu Chengyue.

Wu Chengyue looked at Li Yueshan and finally erased the smile on his face. Then, he seriously said to the man, Dont you have anything to say to us? At least, let us know why you did it. Is that hard?

He could find it out, but he preferred to hear it from Li Yueshan himself.

Clap!

Say something! Tell us why if youre a man! Li Yueshan! Xiao Licheng slapped on the desk as he glared at the other and shouted. He was rarely so emotional. He had been seeing Li Yueshan as a brother of his, a real brother. Otherwise, he wouldnt feel so bad on learning the truth.

Li Yueshan finally raised his head slowly as he looked at Xiao Licheng and said with sadness and coldness, What do you want me to say? Whats the point of talking about the reason now?

Xiao Licheng didnt know what to say.
