Chapter 82 Hidden Heart

  Li Mang, who had been missing for several days, suddenly appeared and safely returned to Yan Huang Mansion, which was indeed beyond everyone's expectation.

  Nine groups of people, Yang Fan, Cheng Wei, Intelligence Group leader Duan Xingde, and two members of the Discipline Committee, all looked at Li Mang with different expressions.

  "Let me ask instead!" Intelligence team leader Duan Xingde broke the silence, and then calmly asked Li Meng: "Li Meng, where have you been these past few days?"

  "Zhangjiajie Tianmen Village is carrying out tasks." Li Mang replied truthfully.

  "But why did you suddenly lose all contact? Even the satellite phone signal couldn't be tracked." Duan Xingde asked further.

  "I sensed that someone was plotting against me, and it's likely that the person is from within Yan Huang. For my own safety, I went into hiding and found a way to block my phone signal."

  ...... Hearing his words, the entire ninth compound was silent, and the whole office was so quiet that a pin could be heard falling.

  Blocking mobile phone signals is not difficult, and there are many methods. But Li Mang said that he sensed someone was plotting against him and wanted to kill him, this premonition was a bit mysterious. However, what surprised them was that indeed someone wanted to kill Li Mang, and it was Chi You.

  "...How did you manage that?" Duan Xingde asked in surprise.

  "...I feel that way." Li Mang replied, it's true.

  "...Duan Xingde unreasonably refuted, feeling that this thing really exists. The stronger one's power, the higher their precognitive ability will be, especially when facing a crisis related to oneself."

  Li Mang was a victim in this incident, so Duan Xingde couldn't interrogate him too much. He then asked Li about the things he had experienced over the past few days.

  Li Mang answered one by one, and they were all true, but he hid a lot of content. For example, getting the "Crystal Dragon", catching the old man with a hump on his back, or visiting the Xiao family as a guest, especially his suspicion of Yang Fan... Li Mang didn't mention any of these things. Before being certain, speaking out would not only make no one believe him but also bring trouble upon himself.

  Duan Xingde, with his intelligence background, could naturally see that Li Meng was hiding something, but Li Meng wasn't a suspect, and he couldn't force him to answer. In the end, he only asked one important question: "Do you know who within Yan Huang wants to kill you?"

  Yang Fan and others beside him had different expressions.

  Li Mang fell silent for a good while, seemingly hesitant and deep in thought, before finally answering with trepidation: "I suspect that person is... Cai Guan of the Eighth Unit!"

  "... " The room fell silent once again, and everyone was shocked by Li Mang's answer, perhaps it was unexpected, or perhaps it was the revelation of Cai Guo's identity.

  "How can you be so sure?" Duan Xingde couldn't help but ask.

  "Firstly, I have always had conflicts with the Eighth Group; secondly, Liu Junsheng from the Eighth Group once assassinated me and was mysteriously killed to silence him; lastly, this time at Tianmen Mountain, I saw people from the Eighth Group lurking around with ill intentions!" Li Mang started with a suspicious tone but gradually became more assertive, as if it were true.

  "Hmm... Cai Gui indeed has a lot of suspicion." Duan Xingde heard this and felt that there was some truth to it, but there were also many misunderstandings. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Bring Cai Gui here!"

  "...Everyone present was stunned, and Cai Guai was brought over. This Xing De is just the head of an intelligence unit, but his official power is extremely great."

  Cai Guai, with a dark face, was quickly brought over. He swept his gaze across the entire hall, finally locking onto Li Mang's body, his eyes turning even darker. Although he was still dazed and confused at the moment, based on intuition, he felt that he had already been schemed against by this young Li Mang... He was in charge of things, but now he was being outmaneuvered by a mere secretary - it was an unbearable feeling.

  As expected, Duan Xingde immediately asked him: "Cai Guanshi, I heard that you have a lot of opinions about Secretary Li?"

  "There is a bit of a small past." Cai Guessed did not deny it, the whole courtyard knew about this matter, if he denied it, it would only bring more trouble.

  "Now you're suspected of betraying the Yellow Emperor!" Duan Xing said with a serious tone, indeed worthy of being an intelligence expert, his questioning was extremely professional and sudden.

  Cai's expression changed, and he said seriously: "Director Duan, this is not something to be taken lightly. I, Cai, may not be a good person, but I have never done anything to betray the Huang Institute. Director Duan, don't listen to the slander of petty people!"

  When he heard this, Li Meng's mouth twitched and he stood up suddenly, as if he couldn't bear the insult, and rebuked loudly: "Cai Guan Shi, since you've done it, why don't you dare to acknowledge it openly!"

  "Li Meng, what nonsense are you talking about!" Cai Cai's face was gloomy. These days, everything has been going wrong for him, all because of Li Meng. To say that he didn't have a fire in his heart was impossible.

  "Am I talking nonsense? Let's not mention Liu Junsheng's assassination earlier, on the day of this mission, you once threatened me, I have reason to suspect that this time you are going to kill me, Cai Cuo!" Li Mang shouted loudly.

  The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a bit heavy, Duan Xingde and Cheng Wei looked at Cai Cai with suspicion, while Yang Fan adjusted his glasses and remained silent.

  "What...nonsense are you talking about, Tama!" Cai's voice was already somewhat intermittent, and even burst out with profanity. He had already vaguely guessed what Li Mang wanted to do, his face extremely ugly.

  "Tsai, be mindful of your status!" Xiang De hastily and seriously warned, seeing that the atmosphere was not right.

  "…Hmph!" Cai Cai let out a cold snort, not daring to do anything else, but with a dark face staring at Li Mang, the warning was clear.

  But Li Meng clearly 'fears no power', loudly saying: "Am I talking nonsense? On that day, you in the cafeteria unreasonably framed Yang Guan Shi, saying Liu Jun Chi was killed by him. My two predecessors were also framed by him, warning me to be careful of Yang Guan Shi. You obviously have ulterior motives, wanting to sow discord among our nine groups... This is not all, you finally warned me that if I'm too clever, I'll be silenced by murder. If this time's killer isn't Cai Guan Shi's mastermind, I absolutely won't believe it!"

  "You little brat, you're spouting nonsense!" Cai Guai was almost enraged to the point of coughing up blood by Li Mang's words. He had indeed said those words earlier, but he had never threatened Li Mang afterwards, absolutely not... But under the current circumstances, would anyone believe him? All he could do was glare at Li Mang with a gloomy face, his heart seething with turmoil.

  A few days ago, he deliberately said that to Li Meng, naturally not with good intentions. Unexpectedly, now Li Meng has turned the tables on him and pushed him directly in front of Yang Fan. In the past, the two had only some conflicts, but from now on, if Yang Fan is really a person of Chi You, then from now on, he will have to think of ways to make Cai Guan die.

  What's more important is that Li Meng's move can temporarily ensure his own safety, seemingly simple on the surface but actually hiding a sinister motive! Cai Guessed the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became, and cold sweat dripped down his back.

  The entire ninth courtyard was silent, with everyone staring intently at Cai Chai, their eyes already showing a hint of abnormality. Especially Yang Fan, who habitually adjusted the black-framed glasses on his nose bridge, and his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.
