One person: Refining weapons? I told you to believe in science!

Chapter 146 The Traitor!

Immediately afterward, Bi Youlong suddenly snorted coldly, slamming his finger heavily on the table: "I knew Yaoxing Society had problems! Last time in Guizhou—"

Huang Boren interrupted, a smile plastered on his round face.

"Old Bi, let Xiao Lin finish speaking first."

Lin Quan placed the teacup back on the table, and the crisp clinking sound silenced everyone.

"The twelve superior talents were refined into living puppets."

"Chou Rang used the souls of living people to forge a magical artifact, and also refined people into puppet artifacts."

"The purpose is to distract them and kill me along the way!"

"But there's one thing I don't understand: how did Qu Tong know that she would be involved in this mission?"

The air in the conference room seemed to freeze.

Lin Quan's words were like a sharp knife, directly piercing through the facade of harmony among the board members.

After Lin Quan finished speaking, his gaze kept lingering on the several directors.

The first person who can be ruled out of suspicion is Zhao Fangxu.

Otherwise, if it were Zhao Fangxu, he would probably already be defined as someone like Biyou Village.

Not only that, but if it were Zhao Fangxu, he would never have used such crude methods to deal with himself.

After all, this person is the real power behind Nadutong Company!

Besides Zhao Fangxu, the other person who can be ruled out as a suspect is Chairman Li (Secretary).

So, there are four people left.

The most suspicious person is Bi Youlong, who has always opposed him.

Secondly, there's Huang Boren, also known as Chairman Huang, who has always been a fence-sitter.

Apart from these two people, Chairman Fei and Chairman Su didn't have much contact with the business.

Moreover, the two individuals were responsible for different areas of business, so while they are suspected, the suspicion is not strong.

But no matter who it is, they can't find out even if Er Zhuang and V join forces.

This shows how well this person has kept things hidden.

While Lin Quan was thinking, Zhao Fangxu spoke up.

Zhao Fangxu's glasses slipped down to the tip of his nose. He slowly took them off and wiped them with a silk handkerchief.

"Xiao Lin, you can't just say things like that."

“Click.”

Bi Youlong suddenly slammed his pen on the table, the sound of metal hitting solid wood making Huang Boren tremble.

Bi Youlong's hawk-like gaze swept over everyone.

"Since we've come this far..."

"Why don't we just name names? Chairman Lin! Tell me who it is!"

Lin Quan gave Bi Youlong a cold look and said, "What does Chairman Bi mean by this?!"

Bi Youlong placed his hands on the table, his hawk-like gaze fixed on Lin Quan.

"Lin Quan, what do you mean by that?"

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Huang Boren's forehead, and he took out a handkerchief to wipe his forehead.

"Old Bi, calm down. Xiao Lin is just looking out for the company."

Bi Youlong sneered and slammed his fingers heavily on the table.

"For the company's sake?"

"Is it really acting in the company's best interest to suspect your board members without any evidence?"

Chairman Su suddenly interjected, "Chairman Lin, we all know you've been wronged this time. But the company is going through a very difficult period right now."

Chairman Fei slowly swirled his teacup: "Yes, the Northwest branch just reported three urgent missions, and there's another one in South China."

"enough!"

Zhao Fangxu suddenly slammed his hand on the table, causing the teacup to rattle loudly.

Zhao Fangxu looked around at everyone, and finally his gaze fell on Lin Quan.

"Xiaolin, tell me the truth—are there any specific suspects?"

After a moment's thought, Lin Quan said, "Qu Tong's 'Dual-Hand Technique' allows her to freely alter memories and souls."

"Everyone here may have been manipulated without their knowledge."

Bi Youlong suddenly slammed his fist on the table: "Absurd! Do you expect everyone to drop what they're doing and play this game of catching the mole with you?" Zhao Fangxu sternly interrupted, "Old Bi!"

Seeing Zhao Fangxu scold him again, Bi Youlong could only sit down helplessly.

The conference room fell silent again, with only the hum of the air conditioner vents remaining.

The air in the conference room seemed to solidify.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Fangxu said, "From today onwards, all members of the board of directors will be subject to 24-hour monitoring."

After those words were spoken, an eerie silence fell around the long table.

Huang Boren's voice trembled.

"Mr. Zhao, shouldn't we reconsider this decision?"

"boom!"

Bi Youlong suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up, the chair scraping loudly on the floor.

At this point, Bi Youlong had begun to address him by his given name.

"Zhao Fangxu! Do you know what you're saying?"

As the only female director, Director Su merely kept her eyes closed and her mind at ease.

Mr. Fei slowly swirled his teacup, head bowed and silent.

Zhao Fangxu raised his head and looked at Bi Youlong.

This usually smiling old man now had a sharp, piercing gaze behind his glasses.

Zhao Fangxu's voice was very soft, yet it made everyone hold their breath.

"Old Bi, you and I both know that if something goes wrong among us..."

"Then the world of supernatural beings is truly finished!"

"Therefore, as a precaution, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble everyone."

No sooner had Zhao Fangxu finished speaking than Bi Youlong shouted angrily, "Old Zhao! Are you crazy?"

"Monitoring board members? How can we operate a public office then?"

"Furthermore, does Lin Quan think he can control all of us with just a word?"

"Furthermore, how can he guarantee that the information wasn't leaked from his subordinates?"

"I disagree with your decision!"

Huang Boren hurriedly stood up to smooth things over: "Please calm down, both of you. Chairman Bi, President Zhao is doing this for the company's safety."

Su Ming then spoke up, "Chairman Zhao, I also feel that it's somewhat inappropriate."

Seeing that all three objected, Chairman Fei no longer hesitated.

"I also object. How can the company operate if executives are monitored without due process?

Zhao Fangxu's glasses reflected a cold light as he slowly surveyed the crowd: "Gentlemen, do you realize how serious this incident is?"

"If even the board of directors cannot set an example?"

“I agree.”

A deep voice suddenly interrupted Zhao Fangxu. Everyone turned their heads in unison—

Chairman Li, who had been silent all along, slowly stood up. This usually low-profile Chairman Li stared intently at everyone with piercing eyes.

"But there's one condition: the surveillance must include both me and Mr. Zhao himself."

Once Chairman Li spoke, no one else dared to say anything more.

After all, the moment this person spoke, it meant that the matter had escalated!

When Lin Quan saw Chairman Li speak, he greeted him with a smile.

Zhao Fangxu nodded and said, "Okay, since Chairman Li said so, let's go together!"

Chairman Li looked at Bi Youlong, Huang Boren, Chairman Su, and Chairman Fei, his eyes behind his glasses filled with murderous intent.

"After I finish speaking, who agrees? Who disagrees?"

The four people lowered their heads at the same time, not daring to make a sound.

Lin Quan looked at the four people and couldn't help but shake his head.

Ultimately, it still requires a powerful figure to step forward.

However, judging from the current situation, there may be more than one mole!
Zhao Fangxu then stood up and said, "In that case, it's settled!"

"Internal monitoring, starting now!"

With those words, the matter was definitively settled!
