Tang Jihuai's words directly pushed Xu Tian to the forefront.
Suddenly, everyone present became more and more suspicious.
Just now they were eager to find out who the real traitor was, and did not delve into the detailed process of Xu Tian pretending to be another organization to scare off the tattoos. Now that Tang Jihuai mentioned it, everyone realized the weirdness.
"Yes, how does this kid know everything about Shadow's news?"
"Could he be a traitor too?"
"It's unmistakable. If he wasn't a traitor, how could he know so much inside information?"
"I'm afraid ordinary people have never even heard of the two organizations, Tattoo and Shadow. Isn't Xu Tian an ordinary office worker? He has not intervened in the affairs of the Tang family. How can he know the detailed information of those two organizations?"
Seeing everyone's comments, Ah Wei began to question Xu Tian. He wanted to defend Xu Tian anxiously, but he didn't know how to speak.
He has been labeled a traitor, and if he spoke now, it would seem like he was covering up for his companions.
Ah Wei knew very well that if he interceded for Xu Tian at this time, he would be convinced of his suspicion, so he could only clenched his fists unwillingly and looked at Xu Tian with a worried look.
His suspicion has been cleared, and he doesn't want any more innocent people to be implicated.
But Xu Tian didn't look at Ah Wei.
His eyes were calm and unruffled, as if he had expected that Tang Jihuai would question him so calmly and said calmly:
"I don't have the ability to predict the future. Today is a modern society. Sixth Elder, it's not good for you to engage in feudal superstition so blatantly, isn't it?"
The expression on Tang Jihuai's face was as ugly as if he had eaten a fly. He suppressed his anger and said coldly:
"Since you know that no one can predict the future, you'd better explain to everyone why you brought that box of costumes to the Lighthouse Country!"
"Is it possible that you are the real Shadow Master, or a member of the Shadow organization? This would explain why you carry around the clothes that Shadow members wear."
boom!
Tang Jihuai's words once again caused an uproar.
However, Xu Tian remained calm.
"Sixth Elder, stop joking. Just now you said that I was just an ordinary office worker. How could I be the Shadow Master?"
"Stop rambling on to me!"
Tang Jihuai lost his patience:
"Even if you are not the Shadow Master, you are at least a member of the Shadow! Why don't you recruit me from the real situation? What is your intention in sneaking into our Tang family? Come here, capture him, drag him out and beat him to death with sticks!"
After Tang Jihuai finished speaking, he waved his hands to the several Tang family bodyguards around him.
The bodyguards immediately swarmed forward, preparing to capture Xu Tian.
Xu Tian glanced indifferently at the bodyguards who were coming straight towards him, and his tone contained unquestionable majesty: "You can attack me just by saying a few words. Sixth Elder, you are so majestic!"
The bodyguards paused in their steps. For a moment, they didn't know whether they should obey Tang Jihuai's instructions or not, and they all froze in place.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Tian continued: "Sixth Elder, it stands to reason that you are a highly respected elder of the Tang family, and you should be the best among the others in the Tang family in terms of strategy and intelligence. But based on your performance just now, I am a little worried.
I’m curious, how did you get to where you are now?”
"You dare to question me?" Tang Jihuai was furious.
"I not only question you, but also those who elected you to become the elder of the Tang family."
Xu Tian glanced at the elders present and continued: "If it is as the sixth elder said, I am the shadow master, or a member of the shadow, then should you think about it, the Tang family dragged me out and beat me with sticks
What will happen after death?"
hiss!
Xu Tian's words made all the elders suddenly take a breath of cold air.
Shadow is an existence that no one in the dark forces dares to provoke!
Let's not talk about whether they have the ability to beat the Shadow Master to death. Even if Xu Tian is not the Shadow Master and is just an ordinary member of the Shadow, according to the Shadow Master's protective character, he will definitely come to settle the score with the Tang family.
Therefore, if those bodyguards just followed Tang Jihuai's instructions and beat Xu Tian to death, then the Tang family would also be facing annihilation!
"So I say that the Sixth Elder's idea is really stupid. So stupid that I can't help but suspect that he is not simply mindless, but deliberately wants to lead the Tang family into a dead end."
"That's nonsense!"
Tang Jihuai became angry: "I am also a member of the Tang family, what good does this do to me?"
"I don't know that."
Xu Tian shrugged.
"Anyway, I am not the Shadow Lord, nor am I one of them."
"What's more, with Shadow's influence and ability in the dark forces, if they want to deal with the Tang family, do you think they will choose to send undercover agents to lurk in the Tang family, which is a time-consuming and long-term method with little profit?"
Although several elders of the Tang family were prejudiced against Xu Tian, they had to admit that his words had some truth to them.
Although the Tang family is quite prestigious in China, according to their current strength, there is no way to compete with Shadow.
If Shadow wants to target them, he can do it directly. There is really no need to spend a lot of time to arrange for an undercover agent to come in.
Tang Jihuai noticed the changes in the expressions of the other elders and clenched their hands tightly into fists behind their backs.
He really underestimated this kid before.
"Okay, I won't ask you why you know Shadow's internal information."
Continuing to pursue this issue would only cause trouble, so Tang Jihuai gave up targeting Xu Tian and turned his attention to Ah Wei.
"I'm just asking you, why do you swear that Wei is not a traitor?"
"If you can produce evidence to prove that he was framed, then our elders of the Tang family will not embarrass him."
"But if you can't produce evidence and clear his suspicion, then don't say that you are just the Tang family's son-in-law. Even if Bingyan is here at this time, you have no right to be particularly kind to a traitor."
Xu Tian looked at him calmly: "Since I dare to say that Wei is innocent, I naturally have evidence in my hand to prove his innocence."
As he spoke, he looked at everyone's expressions in a leisurely manner and spoke slowly:
"Actually, before Bingyan went to the Lighthouse Country, I already knew that Tattoo would be ambushing us along the way, waiting for an opportunity to attack us."
"What did you say?"
Everyone present looked at Xu Tian with dumbfounded eyes.
"Why would you, an outsider, know in advance that Tattoo plans to attack us? Could it be that you are not an undercover agent sent by the Shadow, but someone from Tattoo?"
Seeing everyone's questioning, a hint of calculation flashed in Tang Jihuai's eyes.
He coughed heavily to signal everyone to be quiet, then asked with a straight face: "Why did you know about Tattoo's actions in advance?"
He originally had no way of driving Xu Tian out of the Tang family, but now that Xu Tian has taken the initiative to give him the handle, he would be really sorry for his careful planning over the years if he didn't make good use of it.
But anyone who dares to hinder his actions will die!
"I knew about Tattoo's operation because someone informed me in advance. I received a message long before Bingyan and the others set off. The other party told me that the Tang family was in danger when they went to the Lighthouse Congress, and that Tattoo's killers would be along the way.
He is laying an ambush, intending to find an opportunity to assassinate Bingyan, and asked me to find a way to make Bingyan change her schedule."
"But no matter how much I tried to persuade her, Bingyan still insisted on going to Lighthouse Country to negotiate with AM Company as scheduled, so I contacted the person who tipped me off. The other person told me that if I couldn't change my schedule, I could pretend to be a shadow organization at a critical moment.
members."
"He told me that the killers in the tattoo are most afraid of the Shadow Lord. As long as I pretend to be the Shadow Lord, I will be able to scare them away."
"That person also told me detailed information about the two organizations, Tattoo and Shadow, so that I could successfully fake it."
"Actually, I didn't know who the person behind the scenes was to provide me with information before, but just now you said that Wei was in contact with the members of the tattoo side, and that's when I suddenly realized it."
"It turns out that the person who tipped me off was the undercover agent assigned by Wei at Tattoo. He must have known about Tattoo's actions in advance, so he took the risk to remind me."
Xu Tian's explanation once again plunged the living room into dead silence.
