Chapter 2279: Chapter 1969: They Don’t Have Any Issues for Now
Hearing Prince Zhen Nan’s words, everyone present fell into silence.
They also knew that there might be traitors within the Deceit Suppression Bureau, but the problem was how to identify them?
Furthermore, their concern wasn’t just about the traitor; they were worried that someone might seize this opportunity to frame others, and the traitor would definitely not just sit and wait to be caught. They would surely find a way to frame others and divert attention.
At this time, Fan Yaodong said, "Finding the traitor within the Deceit Suppression Bureau may not be an easy task."
Prince Zhen Nan said, "For you all, it is indeed not an easy task, but for a certain someone, just a single glance is enough to tell who the traitor is."
Hearing this, everyone looked at one another with suspicion in their eyes.
Just a single glance can identify the traitor? Is there such a person in the Capital city? How come they didn’t know?
Fan Yaodong, after coming to his senses, asked, "I wonder who Prince Zhen Nan is referring to?"
Prince Zhen Nan didn’t answer directly but said, "Presumably, everyone has heard about the recent purge of spies from Zhen Nan Prince Manor."
Hearing this, Fan Yaodong immediately realized and said directly, "Are you perhaps talking about Master Lu?"
It is rumored that the reason Zhen Nan Prince Manor could easily find those spy operatives is mainly because of Lu Chen. As for how Lu Chen accomplished this, not many know.
Originally, Prince Zhen Nan didn’t want to expose Lu Chen’s Person Recognition Skill. After all, such a skill is extremely attractive to those in power. Once Lu Chen’s skill is revealed, the Emperor Zhou and the Empress Dowager would be the most eager to have it.
However, in order to find the traitor hidden within the Deceit Suppression Bureau, Lu Chen’s Person Recognition Skill had to be used.
At this moment, Prince Zhen Nan said, "That’s right, my son can easily identify who the traitor is."
Fan Yaodong asked, "I wonder what method Master Lu uses to distinguish the traitor?"
Prince Zhen Nan said, "You don’t need to know this; you only need to know that with just a glance, he can identify who the traitor hiding among the crowd is."
Fan Yaodong then asked, "Since Master Lu can identify the traitor hiding among the crowd with just a glance, can he also identify the mysterious entities hiding among the crowd?"
Upon hearing this question, Prince Zhen Nan’s face instantly turned extremely serious, and the aura of Black Evil suddenly emanated from his body, enveloping the entire council hall in a terrifying atmosphere.
Fan Yaodong then realized that he shouldn’t have asked this question. From Prince Zhen Nan’s reaction, it was clear that Lu Chen could indeed identify the mysterious entities hidden among the crowd.
But they haven’t even found the traitor within the Deceit Suppression Bureau yet. If the information about Lu Chen’s ability to identify mysterious entities were passed on to the mysterious entities by the traitor, they would certainly do everything in their power to kill Lu Chen.
No wonder Prince Zhen Nan suddenly became so serious. Among the high-level officials present, there might be a traitor.
At this moment, Prince Zhen Nan squinted his eyes and revealed a slight smile, then said to everyone present, "For my son’s safety, you all wouldn’t mind letting him check if you are truly loyal to Dazhou and the Deceit Suppression Bureau, right?"
Hearing this, the high-level officials of the Deceit Suppression Bureau felt a bit uncomfortable. Although they knew themselves not to be traitors, the idea of someone else determining if they were traitors made them feel that, even if they weren’t, there was a possibility they could become one.
The Deceit Suppression Bureau had done such things often, so they were deeply concerned that Prince Zhen Nan might use such a method against them.
However, upon further thought, they had no conflict with the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, and currently, manpower was needed. Plus, in the future, the Deceit Suppression Bureau would be under the control of Prince Zhen Nan, so why would Prince Zhen Nan target them for no reason?
Realizing this, the crowd seemed to understand Prince Zhen Nan’s intention. Prince Zhen Nan was probably using this opportunity to remind them that with Lu Chen, who could identify traitors, Prince Zhen Nan could easily accuse and deal with anyone who disobeyed.
At this time, Fan Yaodong said, "Of course, we are all loyal to Dazhou and the Deceit Suppression Bureau, and fear no test."
Prince Zhen Nan said, "With Commander Fan’s words, I am relieved."
At this point, Prince Zhen Nan looked towards the doorway and said to the Royal Mansion Guards at the door, "Li Wei, go to Zhen Nan Prince Manor immediately and invite the Princely Heir to the Deceit Suppression Bureau."
...
When Lu Chen heard from the returning guard that he was to go to the Deceit Suppression Bureau, he found it a bit hard to believe. His convenient father was actually letting him leave Zhen Nan Prince Manor on his own accord.
However, considering this was the Capital city, with Dragon Qi present, the mysterious entities couldn’t harm him, so presumably, Prince Zhen Nan wasn’t too worried about him being harmed by them.
Soon, Lu Chen arrived at the Deceit Suppression Bureau by carriage.
After getting off the carriage, Lu Chen glanced at the grand entrance of the Deceit Suppression Bureau, which was even larger than that of Zhen Nan Prince Manor, with a huge plaque above it displaying the words "Deceit Suppression Bureau."
He had passed by the Deceit Suppression Bureau many times before but had rarely entered, mainly because, before regaining his memory, he was quite timid and fearful of evil spirits.
Under the guidance of the Royal Mansion Guards, Lu Chen quickly arrived at the council hall of the Deceit Suppression Bureau’s high-level officials.
Entering the council hall, he sensed the terrifying aura emanating from Prince Zhen Nan and saw the serious expressions of the high-level officials of the Deceit Suppression Bureau. Lu Chen asked, confused, "Father asked me here, what is it for?"
Prince Zhen Nan glanced at the high-level officials present and then said, "I want you to see if any among these people have sided with the mysterious entities."
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately used the system to check these people’s data and then said, "They are fine for now."
In truth, he couldn’t be a hundred percent certain who the human traitor was. Although the system could identify their names, identities, and favorability towards him, it was still possible that these people hadn’t joined the mysterious entities’ ranks but merely provided some help to them.
And it’s not to say that those with low favorability towards him are definitely human traitors; likewise, those with high favorability are not entirely without issues.
After all, even Bai Qingqing, the Ancestor of the Strange, is now carrying his child. Now Bai Qingqing has a high favorability towards him, but from a standpoint, they are on opposing sides.
However, that being said, although the data from the system cannot be the sole criterion, it can help filter out most people.
As long as these people have secretly joined the mysterious entities, the system would surely determine them as spies of the mysterious entities, making it very easy to find traitors.
At this moment, Fan Yaodong and others, upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, thought in their hearts that Prince Zhen Nan was indeed cautioning them.
Lu Chen said they are fine for now, but the implication was that they might have problems at any time in the future, and when that would be was up to Lu Chen.
