Chapter 184: Dealing with the traitor
As for me, I was called into the guild.
When Su Chen drove me back, he suddenly turned and headed in the direction of the guild headquarters.
I looked at him with a confused look and asked, "What happened?"
He just simply said, "I received an order to bring you in for a meeting. It seems like it\'s quite important."
I couldn\'t help knitting my brows after hearing this before asking, "Do you know what it\'s about?"
Su Chen didn\'t say anything and just shook his head.
I fell into a deep silence of thought as I tried to figure out what I could have been called in for.
Was it because of Long Shui Ling?
That seemed like it would be the most probable thing.
After all, Long Shui Ling\'s Long Family had made a large \'donation\' to the guild to let her in, so they were obligated to take care of her. They most likely wanted a report on her first day.
But if that was the case, what should I say?
I couldn\'t just say that her selfishness and her impulsiveness caused a bunch of trouble, right?
If I did, would they get angry at me?
Would the Long Family be angry with me?
This most likely choice seemed like the worst possible situation for me…
But it turned out that this wasn\'t the case.
When we entered the headquarters, we found that Hua Rong was in the lobby waiting for us. The moment that she saw us, she immediately waved her hand for us to follow her before turning around to head to the elevator.
I looked at Su Chen and he looked at me before shaking his head.
Since he didn\'t know what was happening either, we had no choice but to follow her over to the elevator.
But before going in, she raised her hand and stopped Su Chen from following.
I couldn\'t help knitting my brows when I saw this, but Hua Rong didn\'t seem like she could be convinced.
Su Chen just revealed a faint smile and said, "Don\'t worry about me."
I couldn\'t help glaring at him.
After all, I knew what he was really thinking…
He was relieved that he wouldn\'t be forced to go into this meeting!
He was relieved that he had been pardoned from this!
So it was just Hua Rong and I alone in the elevator and we just stood there in silence.
I was the one that broke the silence in the end by asking, "Do you know what this meeting is about?"
Hua Rong didn\'t seem to react at first, but then she looked at me with a faint smile before turning back to look at the floor indicator.
Huh?
What was with this expression on her face?
It was clear that she was enjoying this situation…but for someone like her who hated me to enjoy this situation…
Did that really mean that I was in trouble?
I couldn\'t help feeling a very bad feeling as the elevator continued moving up.
When we arrived at the floor of Bing Lan\'s office, the door opened and Hua Rong led me to a conference room. This was the conference room that was on the same floor, but on the completely opposite side as Bing Lan\'s office.
This was a room that I had never been in before.
When I came in, there were also people that I had never met before that were sitting at the conference table.
The moment that they heard the door open, they all looked in my direction and knitted their brows.
It was clear that they hadn\'t been expecting me and were even annoyed by my appearance.
The cloaked figure that was sitting to the right of the head of the table where Bing Lan was turned back to her and said, "Guild master, wasn\'t this a private meeting? Why are you bringing other people in here?"
Bing Lan didn\'t say anything as she waited for Hua Rong to bring me over.
Hua Rong saw this, so she waved her hand at me and then started moving over to Bing Lan.
I could still feel the gazes on me as I walked over to where Bing Lan was sitting.
Hua Rong stopped beside Bing Lan and I stopped a bit behind her, but Bing Lan waved her hand at me, so I had no choice but to move over to where Hua Rong was. At the same time, Hua Rong moved to where I had been standing with a confused look on her face.
Bing Lan gestured at me with her hand and said, "He\'s the one that found the spy, so isn\'t he entitled to come to this meeting?"
The moment that she said this, all of them looked at me again.
Only this time, they looked at me with a completely different expression.
Spy?
What was she talking about?
When did I discover a spy?
The cloaked figure who had been sitting there slowly gave a nod before saying, "Alright, let\'s hear what he has to say."
Bing Lan gave a nod too before turning to me to say, "Tell us everything that you told me before."
I just had a confused look on my face as I looked at Bing Lan and asked, "What are we talking about? I wasn\'t told anything before being called in."
Bing Lan raised a brow when she heard this, but then she said with a calm look, "Hayato\'s handler Motoyasu. Tell all of them what you told me back then."
Huh?
The handler?
Was this what this was about?
I had already thought of some things when they talked about a spy, but it turned out that it was related to this.
I had thought that she would take care of it on her own, but now I was called in to testify.
Still, this didn\'t seem like it would be bad for me, so I just started telling them everything that I had told Bing Lan before.
