After everyone was seated, Hua He went straight to the point and asked Bei Miao.

"Come on, Master Zhang, tell me what happened last night. Let's do it boldly and leave early. I have a lot of things to do today."

After Hua He asked this question, Bei Miao's face suddenly looked a little unnatural, but he quickly adjusted himself, with an apologetic smile on his face, and his eyes shifted to Xi Zhao.

Xi Zhao just glanced at him and looked away. He did not meet Bei Miao's gaze, but instead tidied up the tableware and poured himself another cup of tea.

"If you have something to say, just say it. What's the point of just looking at me? Your time is precious, so can we just waste our time?"

Xi Zhao responded to Bei Miao mercilessly, which made Bei Miao feel embarrassed. In the past, he would have lost his temper long ago. Not only would he have said a few sarcastic words, but at the very least he would have walked away in anger.

But now it was Bei Miao who was wrong first, and the one who was mocking was Xi Zhao, whom he had slandered. It was not his turn to get angry, so he could only laugh awkwardly and look away.

"Well, since everyone is so busy, I won't say any more."

As he spoke, Bei Miao pulled up the clothes on his forearm with his other hand, revealing the triangular mark on his forearm.

"Let's get to the point. What do you mean by showing your arms? What? Are you trying to say that you are my half-brother?"

Xi Zhao pulled up his sleeve with a smile, revealing the red birthmark on his arm. The shape of this birthmark was very special, somewhat similar to the mark on Bei Miao's arm, and the position was almost the same. No wonder Xi Zhao said that.

"I came here today for Hua He's sake. If you don't want to tell the truth, I don't have the time to waste with you. Why don't you just get straight to the point? I didn't come all the way here to listen to your lies."

"Uh...haha...well...can you give me a chance to speak? I'm almost getting to the point." Bei Miao said in a low voice with an apologetic smile.

Seeing Bei Miao being so respectful, Xi Zhao did not continue to make things difficult for him. He put down his sleeves, snorted coldly, and continued to drink tea with a stern face.

Bei Miao didn't waste any more words and continued what he was saying when Xi Zhao interrupted him just now.

“The mark on my hand was not born with me. It was only placed there in the past two days. They can use this mark to communicate with me. In addition, the mark can also cause pain. It is very painful. Once it occurs, it can even make people faint from the pain.

Even though the mark was a means for them to control me, I have to admit that after the mark was put on my arm, my mind did become much clearer. I haven't lived so clearly in a long time.

Let me be frank. I lied. I didn't go to the mountains in the northwest last night. I was sleeping when Meizhen called me. I went straight to the factory after I answered the phone. When you saw me, that was my first time to arrive at the battlefield.

After arriving at the battlefield, they told me how to lay out the plan and how to frame Xizhao. They even prepared some of the stories for me. What happened next is what you saw. This is the whole truth that I concealed.”

Having said this, Bei Miao paused, giving everyone time to react.

Meizhen immediately cast an angry look at Beimiao. The facts were exactly as she had imagined, but it was too late to think about it now. If she had been able to figure it out last night and expose Beimiao's lies on the spot, perhaps she could have avoided today's Hongmen Banquet.

Xizhao on the right listened to Beimiao's words without any expression on his face. He just continued to drink the tea in his cup. The tea flowed through his mouth, but he could not taste any flavor.

He grew up in the Shadow World and knew that there were not only mutant beasts in the Shadow World, but also many humans serving the Shadow World. However, those people were either adopted by the Shadow World since infancy, such as the Ugly General and most of the Shadow Warriors, or were forced to join the Shadow World, like him and Bing'er.

Apart from this, in the more than ten years in the film industry, Xi Zhao had basically never seen anyone joining halfway. He understood the film industry and knew the basic rules that operated there. He understood that even if such people could be accepted by the film industry, they would not be valued, and the film industry would not be able to meet any of their needs.

Under normal circumstances, there are very few humans who can come into contact with the shadow world. They either have the technology that the shadow world needs, or they have the resources that the shadow world needs. Even if such people get in touch with the shadow world, at most they can only maintain a cooperative relationship with the shadow world, and they will not think about joining the shadow world.

Unless they are left with no other options or their lives are at stake, they will be forced to turn to the film industry for help. But as long as they have no other choice, they will return to normal life after the film industry helps them solve the problem.

Even if they want to stay, the film industry will not easily accept them, but will set up various levels to test them.

After these people have gone through many tests, those who fail will lose their lives, and those who pass the test will be demoted to the bottom.

So Xizhao couldn't understand why Bei Miao, a rich second-generation who obviously had everything, handsome looks, wealthy family background, and many people were envious of him, but he still wanted to get into the film industry?

Is it just to find Bing'er? This is not right. Bei Miao is the boss of a company. He has been to many places and has a lot of experience. Doesn't he know that he can't trust the words of bad people?

A person with such insight, a descendant of the Water Shadow Village, and the summoner of the Black Rhino Armor, actually placed his hopes on the enemy and asked for something from the enemy? Is this reasonable?

Besides, why would the people in the film industry want to seduce Bei Miao and let Bei Miao do things for them? After going through so much trouble, they expect Bei Miao to jump up and down and tear apart the Armor Heroes?

Instead of this, why don't they just kill Bei Miao directly, and take advantage of the opportunity when no one summons the Black Rhino Armor to wipe out all the Armor Warriors in one fell swoop?

Also, the Shadow World has already asked Bei Miao to do things for them, so why not just let Bei Miao steal all the light and shadow stones? Wouldn't the Shadow World win without fighting?

Xizhao was lost in thought, his hands tightly gripping the teacup, he sat there with a stern face and said nothing, which made Beimiao feel a chill and he couldn't help but pull down his sleeves.

Not only Xizhao couldn't figure it out, even Huahe couldn't figure it out. However, Huahe was different from Xizhao. He didn't create problems for himself, but asked Beimiao directly.

"Beimiao, why did you join the shadow world? Is it just because of Bing'er's movements? Is it that serious?"

As soon as Hua He finished speaking, Bei Miao's face suddenly became gloomy, but then quickly returned to normal. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly to calm himself.

After a brief adjustment, Bei Miao returned to his previous state. He looked at Hua He and replied:

"You're right, that's why you all knew about Bing'er, but no one told me. I couldn't find her myself, but they came out and said they could help me find my sister.

I remember you said this before, but how did you do it? So at that time, who do you think is an outsider to me? Who is my brother? "
