“Since things have come to this, let’s still follow our original plan. No matter what, we can’t let our plan fail here.”
Ye Ying narrowed his eyes slightly. “As for apologizing and making amends, it’s still too early. At least, we have to wait until this matter is resolved. At that time, 1’11 explain the reason to them. 1 believe everyone will understand my intentions.”
“I understand what you mean. I’ve already sent someone to keep an eye on the five elders’ families and Duo Feng. As long as there’s anything abnormal, 1’11 report it immediately.”
“No problem.” Ye Ying patted Yu Feng’s shoulder. “You must make sure that there’s someone monitoring the communication equipment twenty-four hours a day. All our hopes are on this. If we can’t find out who the traitor is, we’ll face the worst case scenario.”
With that, Ye Ying left the villa to prepare for the inevitable battle.
Yu Feng also entered the surveillance room and observed every move in the room.
The elders in the room gradually began to get used to the current situation and were no longer as vigilant as before. This situation was indeed a good thing for Yu Feng. The more relaxed a person was, the more they would do some habitual actions.
This way, he could find some clues. When midnight arrived, time passed especially slowly. Most of the people in the villa had already rested, so there were naturally some people who hoped to move at night.
In the pitch-black hall, five rooms were arranged in a symmetrical manner. This was the residence of the five elders.
Suddenly, a weak light shone into the living room, bringing some light to the dark environment.
The door of one of the bedrooms was quietly pushed open. A person dressed in black flashed past under the faint light. Like a shadow, he quickly passed through the room.
As the figure passed through, the door of the room was quickly closed. The entire action happened in an instant, but it was very light. It did not make any sound, nor did it attract anyone’s attention.
The black shadow arrived in front of a door. After confirming the person inside according to his memories from the night, a strange smile clearly appeared on the side of his face in the dark environment.
He quickly took out a letter from his pocket. Just as he was about to stuff it through the extremely small gap under the door, he hesitated for a moment.
Although he did not know the reason, since he had chosen to make such a decision, this moment of hesitation would definitely not be the last obstacle.
As expected, after a few seconds, he still made up his mind and pushed the letter in his hand through the crack in the door.
The moment the letter entered the room, the black shadow immediately left the door and returned to his room, acting as if nothing had happened.
No one noticed what happened in just a minute or two. Even the bodyguards who were conducting 24-hour surveillance cameras in the surveillance room did not say anything when they saw the situation in the hall. They did not even have the intention to report it to the higher-ups.
When silence returned, the person in the room saw the letter on the ground.
The person who saw the letter was Elder Hu. He was shocked at first, but right on the heels of that, he was at a loss. He clearly remembered that there was no letter on the ground when he first entered.
That left only one explanation. Someone had gotten the letter in while he hadn’t been looking.
Although he did not know who the other party was or what his motive was, he picked up the letter first and opened the door slightly. He stuck his head out to observe the situation in the hall. However, the hall was just as he had expected. It was pitch-black and silent. There was no change at all.
Seeing that there was no one outside the house, Elder Hu locked the door and specially added a password.
After he calmed down, he sat on the sofa and prepared to read the contents of the letter. However, there were only five words that greeted his eyes. “Repent and you’ll be saved.”
It was also these five words that made the expression on Elder Hu’s face instantly freeze at this moment. He rubbed his eyes repeatedly to make sure he wasn’t seeing things. He rubbed the paper back and forth again, but he didn’t see any other words on it.
He was stunned for a few seconds. Then, as if he had gone crazy, he crumpled the paper and the letter into a ball, took out a lighter, and burned it in the ashtray..
