The result, of course, was that we couldn't get in touch.

"That's strange. I used the Patriarch's internal line, and Young Master Tan never failed to answer it."

The messenger was confused. Tan Shuo looked like a very casual and unfocused person, but actually he was very traditional at heart.

Tan Shuo can only be considered half a member of the Gu family. He is actually an orphan who was rescued by someone from a branch of the Gu family.

But he was very grateful for the man's kindness, and continued to follow him after he grew up, until Gu Wannian disappeared and Gu Wanshan came to power.

At that time, there were undercurrents within the Gu family, and many powerful branches opposed Gu Wanshan, but were eventually eliminated by Gu Wanshan.

During this process, the power position of the Gu family also fluctuated and changed. Many people were dismissed because of their involvement, and a lot of positions became vacant.

The head of the branch that Tan Shuo followed had no ambition or strength, so he tried to protect himself.

After the Gu family's internal purge, new people were urgently needed to take over, so Tan Shuo was presented to Gu Wanshan by his rescuer. From then on, under Gu Wanshan's guidance, he began to grow rapidly and was recommended to join the government agency that handles special affairs.

At that time, there was no Special Intelligence Bureau. The Heavenly Masters in the Heavenly Master Alliance practiced magic mainly to fight for power with each other. They either climbed up within their own families, or helped their families gain greater benefits and power among the three major Heavenly Master families.

However, later the fog descended and the horror game came into the world, which shook the original Tianshi Alliance system and everyone was in danger.

Gu Wanshan felt that the situation was unfavorable, so he changed the Gu family's strategy and began to shift from outward expansion to inward expansion. He gave up many of the Gu family's powers and focused on the construction of the refuge fortress.

As for Tan Shuo, this early chess piece, they just let him do what he wanted and allowed him to develop freely.

Gu Wanshan was actually quite surprised that Tan Shuo could later become a core captain of the Special Intelligence Bureau. He never expected that the little orphan who looked so green and foolish back then could have such potential.

No matter how Tan Shuo's status has changed over the years, he still respects Gu Wanshan the same way.

The messenger was someone who followed Gu Wanshan. He could see clearly, so he thought he knew Tan Shuo's character. How could he not answer the master's internal call?

In the past, when he was on emergency missions in the Special Intelligence Agency, he would always reply.

The messenger was surprised, but Rong Lele expected it. "Tell the Gu family to impose martial law, and notify me immediately if you find Tan Shuo."

She gave a piece of mistletoe to the messenger and asked him to give it to Gu Wanshan when he returned.

The messenger tried to ask: "If we find Mr. Tan——Tan Shuo, can we still regard him as one of our own?"

He still couldn't quite believe it. It seemed like Miss Rong and Tan Shuo were chatting and laughing at Gu's house in the morning. How come they became so serious just a few hours later? He even wondered if he had misunderstood something.

Rong Lele shook her head: "He is an enemy. And extremely dangerous. Don't try to deal with him rashly. If you find him, notify me immediately."

Rong Lele's face looked extremely serious.

However, the Gu family is still safe for the time being because she doesn't think Tan Shuo will go back to the Gu family.

Because the Gu family is no longer of any use to him.

Once we think of Tan Shuo's true identity, many of the previous doubts can be connected:

Why was the mastermind able to have accomplices in both the Heavenly Master Alliance and the Special Intelligence Bureau without being discovered by the All-Knowing Master?

Why did the other party know about the bookstore? Why did the other party know Rong Lele's movements at the first time? Why did the other party know the usage of the confinement room in the "Blood Welding Factory" copy developed by Rong Lele...

Rong Lele had never thought of Tan Shuo before, but once she did, she realized that the truth had always been so close to her...

"It's him! How could it be him?!" Fang Xiyu heard that Rong Lele tried to contact Tan Shuo but failed, and she understood...

When he thought about how he and the other person were arm in arm at the dinner table two hours ago, he broke out in a cold sweat and wished he could slap himself in the face.

Rong Lele understood very well how uncomfortable he was feeling. Tan Shuo had indeed hidden it too well.

Recalling the first time they met, he regarded himself as a grassroots person, contrasting himself with Huo Fan, who was also the captain of the Special Intelligence Bureau, because Huo Fan was of aristocratic family and he was not.

Compared to Huo Fan, he seems to be someone who is easier to get along with and better at becoming friends with.

When they first met, he took out a rose from his back and performed such an unconventional magic trick, but in fact he did it to compete with the fourth team led by Huo Fan for the initiative to investigate the bookstore.

Tan Shuo has never concealed his scheming and ambitions. He puts everything out in the open. He looks easy to understand and knows everything clearly, including his little actions.

But in fact, all those little actions of his were just disguises!

On the surface, he was climbing up the ranks in the Special Intelligence Bureau, but it was not until the Gui Shen incident ended his career that he admitted that he was actually working for the Gu family;

However, it was not until this moment that I realized that he was not working for the Gu family! This person whose identity is like peeling an onion, which side is his true self, or maybe he has no true side at all.

Rong Lele still finds it incredible when she thinks back on it now...

If it were someone else, a person who has deep ties to both the Special Intelligence Bureau and the Tianshi family but is not a direct blood relative should indeed be a suspect, just like Su Baiming of the Su family.

However, because there was already a Su Baiming, Rong Lele temporarily ignored the possibility of a second Su Baiming. Coupled with Tan Shuo's usual unreliable appearance, she actually completely ignored him!

"Oh no! He wouldn't poison me, would he?" Fang Xiyu suddenly thought of something and began to try to put his fingers into his throat to induce vomiting.

"I was in that restaurant with him, I ate a lot of barbecue, and he also picked up a lot of barbecue for me with his chopsticks, it was over, I..."

Fang Xiyu had a look of determination as if he was ready to die heroically.

Rong Lele: ...

"Not really, he didn't poison you."

"How can you be sure that he won't? He brought so many poisonous insects, snakes and bats to attack you. He must be an expert in using poison!" Fang Xiyu became more and more panicked as he spoke, and his voice was shaking at a high frequency.

Rong Lele: "It's really not poisonous. My strange thread can detect it."

Fang Xiyu watched as a strange thread of silk came out of Rong Lele's left hand. The crystal silk thread wrapped around Fang Xiyu's wrist, poked it lightly, and broke the skin.

The exposed blood beads were stained on the strange silk, they were bright red and did not change color.

Fang Xiyu carefully confirmed: "Does this mean it's not poisonous?"

Rong Lele nodded.

Fang Xiyu finally breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest: "It's true that there was no poison. Fortunately, it's okay."

But then he realized what was happening and became unhappy, “No, he could send so many poisonous creatures to kill you, why did he let me go?

We were eating meat from the same plate, but he didn't poison me? He didn't do anything to me when the opportunity was so good, does he look down on me?!"

Poof—the ice cola in Rong Lele’s mouth almost sprayed out.

He is truly the silly son of a landlord. He cares about something very unique.

Along the way, Fang Xiyu couldn't help complaining and was totally unable to get over this hurdle, but at least he still managed to send Rong Lele to the horror building.

His attention finally shifted from being "ignored by his opponents" to the Thriller Headquarters.

Fang Xiyu: "Wow, is this the headquarters of the Thriller Company?"

"Yes, do you want to go up and see?" Rong Lele asked.

Fang Xiyu's eyes were filled with desire, but she still restrained herself a little: "Can you bring outsiders up there?"

Rong Lele: "Theoretically, it's against the rules."

Fang Xiyu: "But we can break the rules, right?"

Rong Lele thought for a moment and said, "It's okay to violate it, but Manager Hei Bai will probably remember it."

Fang Xiyu immediately turned around: "Forget it!"

The accelerator was stepped on, the engine roared, and Fang Xiyu slipped away as if escaping.

I didn’t expect that this seemingly naive and innocent son of a landlord is actually quite cautious at heart, Rong Lele thought.

Just as she was thinking, her bracelet vibrated: [You just violated the rules. ]

It's the black and white manager.

Rong Lele replied: [He helped me find the mastermind behind the scenes, and he has gotten close to the inside story of the thriller game.]

[Got it, you come up.] The manager replied.
