The subordinates behind the shadow stepped forward one by one to kill the prisoners on the execution rack.
He caught them from the lakeside using Qingchen as bait.
Now, I have lost interest in finding the mastermind behind these people.
In Shadow's view, there are only a few people who can command these people.
Since these people are very tough-mouthed, it would be better to assume that those who may be behind the scenes are all enemies.
Don't let anyone go.
However, the matter of Qingchen being arrested this time was obviously different.
The mastermind behind instigating Director Zhou and others to kill people by the lake was not that capable.
Shadow knew very well who had the ability to place an insider next to him.
There is, and only one, such person...
Shadow washed his hands in the pool next to the execution rack and washed away the blood on his hands.
The subordinates around him all looked solemn.
They already knew the seriousness of the matter at this time.
Shadow said to several subordinates lightly: "There is a leaker among you."
The subordinates' expressions were stagnant. They all knew how serious the consequences of betraying Shadow would be.
Moreover, this is a shadow.
There is actually an insider around Shadow. This is a very serious matter.
Shadow continued: "But it doesn't matter, I know who you are working for."
Director Zhou was on the execution rack, watching his companions die one after another. He hurriedly said: "I said, as long as you let me go, I will tell you everything I know now."
Shadow looked back at him: "I don't want to hear it now."
After that, he actually opened the door of shadow and left without looking back.
It wasn't until this moment that Director Zhou realized that this was not a torture method. Shadow was really impatient!
The next moment, the shadow had arrived at Qing's Ginkgo Manor in City No. 5.
The manor located halfway up the mountain was still brightly lit, like a palace complex above the sky.
The gorgeous blue and purple light strips outline the eaves, corners and walls like a dream.
The shadow climbed all the way up the stairs. Seeing that it was him, the hidden piles and servants on the road retreated away.
Everyone stood on both sides of the road with their heads lowered and their eyebrows lowered respectfully.
They realized that something big must have happened when the shadow that rarely appeared in Ginkgo Manor suddenly came back.
The shadow walked all the way to the top, where there was a separate building.
In the entire Ginkgo Manor, this is the only building that is dark and has no lights.
The shadow came to the door, pushed open the door of the hall without saying hello, and stood at the door.
The light from outside the building passes through the open door and shines into the dim environment inside the building.
At this time, there was an old man with his hair tied in a bun sitting cross-legged on the futon, his back facing the door, as motionless as a bronze bell.
"I have been a shadow for a long time, and I no longer know the rules. In the Qing family, the power of the head of the family is still higher than that of the shadow, so when you come in, you should knock on the door first, and then come in after I agree," the old man said slowly
Swallow, said lightly.
"Did you let someone leak the information about Qingchen?" Shadow asked straight to the point.
In fact, when he received the call from Yan Chunmi and learned the information, Shadow already knew exactly who was controlling all this.
From Shadow's point of view, there is only one person who can place agents around him without him being aware of it and betray him at the most critical moment, and that is the head of the Qing family.
Shadow has never doubted anyone other than the head of the Qing family.
If other forces can do this, then there is no need for him to be a shadow, and the Qing family will probably be swallowed up sooner or later.
This is a kind of confidence.
Only someone like the head of the Qing family, who has complete power over him, can do this.
Some people in the intelligence system are loyal to the shadow, and some are loyal to the Qing family. There is a big difference.
So he said to his subordinates, I know the leaker is among you, but it doesn't matter.
Because, if the Qing family must choose one person to represent the entire family and financial group, this person is definitely not his shadow, but the head of the family.
Is it wrong to betray Shadow for the head of the family? No.
The old man is the real decision-maker of the family, and everyone's will, including the shadow's, must serve him.
The head of the Qing family said without turning around: "It's me."
"Why?" Shadow asked coldly.
The head of the Qing family asked back: "It's because you were about to die, so you became a little more merciful before you died, and that's why you acted so sloppily, right?"
"What do you mean?" Shadow asked.
"You ask him to take Qing Mu home to win over the people of the Qing family's intelligence system," the head of the Qing family said slowly.
"Yes, does this conflict with your will? Isn't this what you want to see?" Shadow asked.
"There is no conflict, but what you did was too kind." The head of the Qing family always left only a shadow: "Just taking Qingmu home, at most, it will only gain the gratitude and admiration of some intelligence personnel, but if you want him
To quickly take over the intelligence system, or to move to a higher position, you have to be more cruel."
Shadow said solemnly: "You want him to become the second Qingmu, a Qingmu who returns to the Qing family alive and is strong enough to lead and frighten all intelligence personnel."
Shadow understood what the head of the Qing family wanted to do.
Shadow has completely understood.
The person who took action this time was the Jindai family.
The head of the Qing family passed Qingchen’s information to the Goddess through some unknown channel!
After getting the information about Qing Chen, all the gods had to do was to find a new 'Qing Mu'.
Since the Qing family has captured people from the Gods and traded Qing Mu, they will find a new replacement.
The Age of Gods is also a consortium, so how could they allow others to provoke others but never fight back?
Qingchen had brought enough trouble and humiliation to them, so Kamdai used a thunderous blow this time to completely nip this huge threat that might have grown in the cradle.
God's Generation will give Qingchen endless humiliation just like it did to Qing Mu, in order to tell the entire federation the consequences of provoking God's Generation.
But from the perspective of the head of the Qing family.
The person who took Qingmu home was just a hero. Although everyone would admire him, this qualification was not enough for Qingchen to quickly ascend to a higher position.
But if a sober and alive 'Qingmu' returns to the south, his prestige and authority will be completely different.
The person who took Qingmu home and ‘Qingmu’ himself were completely different concepts.
"It seems that you and I don't have much time, so we have to give this harsh medicine," Shadow said calmly.
The old man was noncommittal and did not answer.
But Shadow was puzzled: "Aren't you worried that he will die in the north? Or that someone will use the method of connecting neurons to change his soul?"
The head of the Qing family said calmly: "No one in this world can replace him with this method. You and I have known about this more than ten years ago. If the gods can't even replace Qing Mu, how can they replace him?"
"But what if he died in the north?" Shadow asked in a deep voice.
"You have indeed become soft-hearted," the head of the Qing family said calmly: "In my opinion, this is not a problem. The problem that worries me more now is that you are all so soft-hearted. If the Qing family's inheritance is handed over to you,
Will it collapse in your hand?"
The Qing family seems to have other plans.
Shadow sneered: "Do you really plan to hand over the Qing family? It seems that you have this plan, but it's hard to say what the actual situation will be."
Now the reason why the various factions of the Qing family are ready to take action is to target Shadow.
It's just because the head of the family said casually a few days ago, "What do you think of this shadow as the head of the family?"
Just this sentence caused a stir.
The talkers from various factions simply could not accept being controlled by the shadow anymore. They did not want to see the shadow ascend to the position of the head of the family, so what happened later happened.
Only Shadow knew in his heart that the old man never intended for him to be the head of the family.
What the other party said was just to know what the people of the various factions were thinking. The family wanted to use those people to check and balance him.
Shadow said nothing more and turned around to leave.
The old man asked: "Are you going to save him now?"
Shadow paused without saying a word, and turned back to look coldly at the head of the Qing family.
The old man continued to say slowly: "If you save him now, all the suffering and injuries he suffered today will be in vain. Remember what I once said, people don't need to have feelings, if they have feelings, they will have them."
Flaw. He is only truly valuable when he becomes 'Qing Mu'."
Shadow said coldly: "That's your opinion, I don't think so."
The head of the Qing family asked: "Didn't you also deliberately betray his information in order to help him win over Qing Yi's heart? What's the difference between what I'm doing now and what you're doing? You've also killed many innocent people.
people."
Shadow said calmly: "What you said seems to make sense. I have never considered myself a good person. But I am ready to carry my sins and go to hell. Are you ready to do the same?"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Shadow received a message on his cell phone. Someone sent him the whole story.
Among them, there is news about Qingchen's disappearance after his death, as well as news about Li Yunjing and the missing clues after Huotang's investigation.
Shadow made a phone call and said: "Qingye, first thing, bring me people to block all the passages to the north, don't let Jindai have the opportunity to take Qingchen out of the Central Plains. Second thing, check for me, where is it?"
The airship is responsible for picking them up. The third thing is to make the Qing's combat troops ignore the fire pond."
"Finally," Shadow paused and said, "Tell this matter to Li Changqing. She is in City No. 19, north of the battlefield, and ask her to search for Qingchen's whereabouts together."
From this moment on, Jindai's actions after arresting Qingchen were like poking a hornet's nest, touching the nerves of many people.
