Chapter 654 The Matter of the Traitor (1)_1
"Xuan. Let’s go inside to discuss this slowly," Xiao Muli said as he watched Xuan draw the gaze of everyone as soon as he appeared at the entrance to the Ammunition Empire of the Xiao Family. Every move he and Xuan made was observed by all, so even if they were cautious and spoke in hushed tones, the keen onlookers would still be alerted.
Looking around, Xuan nodded in agreement with Xiao Muli’s suggestion, "As you wish, my lord."
After arriving at Xiao Muli’s private office with Xuan, Xuan presented all the information he had gathered. "My lord, this is all the information we have gathered so far. Although we have not yet identified the spy, we have a guess, with eighty percent certainty, of who is behind it. However, we lack concrete evidence."
"Oh? Is that so?" Xiao Muli said, flipping through the documents in his hand, his expression unchanged as he listened to Xuan. It was as if what he heard and saw was of no great importance.
Xuan found it difficult to fathom his lord’s thoughts from the expression on Xiao Muli’s face, so he simply stood in silence by the side, waiting for Xiao Muli’s instructions.
Xiao Muli skimmed the documentation. Although there was no clear evidence pinpointing the instigator, with just one glance, Xiao Muli knew Xuan’s suspicions were correct—it was someone from that side.
Xiao Muli wasn’t surprised by this outcome at all. He had foreseen this moment when he seized control of the Ammunition Empire from the Xiao Family’s collateral branches, well aware that those from the Xiao Family collateral branches would be discontent and unwilling to accept their loss.
One day they would make a comeback, for he saw the unresolved resentment in the eyes of those in the collateral branches, but resentment was all they had. Back then, the person in charge had no power to resist Xiao Muli, the Family Head.
Aside from the head of the Ammunition Empire from the collateral branches, there were a few others who, though young and not fully mature at the time, were ruthless characters.
Thinking back, Xiao Muli knew that those individuals were about his age back then, and years had passed since. Surely, they had grown considerably. Indeed, Xiao Muli was quite curious to see what they had become.
After reviewing the information, Xiao Muli remained silent for a long time before finally raising his head to look at Xuan and saying, "Continue with the original plan."
