Yihua Building.
In the bedroom, after listening to Ye Zi'e narrate the events at the theater, everyone had different expressions.
Song Xuan and Lu Shuyuan exchanged glances, looking astonished. They were still discussing how to investigate this case, given that Bailu City was vast and chaotic, with hidden enemies. They simply had no clue where to start.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Chen did the opposite and put the Gu God Sect directly into the spotlight!
This move seemed simple, but coming up with and implementing it in such a short time, considering the situation then and amplifying its impact, was not something an ordinary person could do!
"No wonder Mr. Chen solves cases like a deity, never failing. His unorthodox methods are truly surprising." Xu You couldn't help but praise.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The case in Fengmu County had already shown that Chen Mo was bold and meticulous, courageous and strategic, and never played by the rules.
Encountering him, the Gu God Sect could only be considered unlucky!
"It's still too early to say anything," Chen Mo shook his head and said, "The waters are muddied now. Let's see if the big fish show themselves... Song Xuan, you go to the major tea houses and restaurants in the city to create a buzz and make this matter as big as possible."
"Shuyuan is responsible for keeping an eye on the inner city, especially tonight, to see if there are any suspicious people entering or leaving the government office."
"Yes." The two men bowed their heads.
"The theater over there will be handed over to Households Commander Li and Mr. Xu," Chen Mo instructed, "You two change into regular clothes, observe in secret, and try not to reveal your identities. If anything unexpected happens, report it promptly."
Li Yuan nodded, "Don't worry, sir, I'll take care of it."
"Wait a minute..."
Xu You looked Chen Mo and Ye Zi'e over, slightly furrowed his brows and asked, "What are you two planning to do?"
Chen Mo replied, "That Lady Hua seems a bit peculiar. Ye Zi and I plan to sneak into the Li Mansion tonight to investigate and see if we can make any unexpected discoveries."
"Hmm?"
Xu You glanced at Ye Zi'e, withholding comment.
Feeling that cold glare, Ye Zi'e shivered, cleared his throat, and suggested, "Cough, cough, how about I act together with Households Commander Li? There's a high likelihood that Gu God Sect's evildoers will be drawn to the theater; watching each other's backs might be wise for us."
Chen Mo thought about it; the two of them forming an alliance of the strongest forces wasn't quite reasonable. He nodded, "Alright, then Mr. Xu, come with me."
Xu You averted his gaze, smiling broadly, "I'll follow your arrangements, sir."
Chen Mo glanced at the sky through the window and stood up, "It's been quite some time already. All factions must have received the news. Let's not delay; we should move out now."
"Yes!"
