"Isn’t that stating the obvious?"
"Exactly, we definitely want to hear it!"
"Right, just tell us your guess directly!"
Hearing him begin so mysteriously, everyone present rolled their eyes at him.
In their view, now was really not the time for suspense.
So, his suspenseful approach was really annoying.
Hearing everyone’s irritated responses, he realized he had upset the crowd!
Without defending himself, he calmed down a bit, then shared his guess directly.
"I think before, the Third Elder must have had some evidence, that’s why he called all of us here, wanting to directly take down Cao Meng in front of all of us. But in the end, for some reason, he failed!"
Hearing this reasoning, they all nodded slightly, as it matched their own analyses.
To be honest, they understood the Third Elder very well, as he was previously one of the Elder Council!
They knew he wasn’t the type to seek grandeur or fame, so he must have had something serious on Cao Meng.
After discovering it, he wanted to directly put Cao Meng in his place, letting him know the Elder Council still existed.
But he failed.
And failed miserably...
It could be said he tried to gain a hand but lost the game...
Seeing everyone agree with his theory, he squinted and spoke again in a low tone, "Now there’s only one question, and that’s what role Cao Meng played by always remaining calm throughout the whole thing!"
"What role? What do you mean? Are you suggesting this was a trap set by Cao Meng before?"
They pondered this for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise.
They had never thought of it that way before.
But now, they began to, and it seemed to make some sense.
Seeing everyone starting to contemplate, the speaker continued in a husky voice, "That’s exactly what I suspect, and you all know the strife between Cao Meng and the Third Elder has been long-standing. Whether it was Cao Meng or the Third Elder, both wanted the other’s downfall, so I think Cao Meng initiated a move this time."
"Could be!"
They nodded lightly...
Soon, they suddenly thought of a problem.
"But Cao Meng isn’t that smart, is he?"
They had known Cao Meng for many years, so they understood him well and knew he wasn’t particularly clever, so he might not have come up with such a strategy.
After all, such a strategy takes some brains to concoct.
Glancing at them, the man sighed silently, "That’s my main concern! There might be a mastermind behind him."
Hearing such a confident guess, they all opened their mouths, their faces slightly changing!
They really didn’t know what to say at this moment.
Because if this inference was true, the situation was really bad...
Seeing their expressions change, the guessmaker sighed again, "You should all understand the stakes now. If he really has someone backing him, we really need to be cautious, because if someone is guiding him, it surely won’t end so easily! To put it that way, eliminating the Third Elder might just be the beginning."
"Is he planning to wipe us all out?"
"That can’t be possible!"
"Right!"
Hearing their chaotic responses, he waved his hand dismissively and said, "Before, I thought it was impossible, but now, I really don’t know, because we don’t truly understand what Cao Meng is thinking."
"So what should we do now? Strike first?"
