Chapter 1719 - 942: Who Is the Traitor? (3)

Chen Er nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Hu, I’ll head down now."

"Hmm."

On the way down, Chen Er felt increasingly uneasy.

In the base, there is a food warehouse, an energy warehouse, a weapons warehouse, and of course other warehouses, but these three are the most important warehouses in Southern Paradise.

Mr. Hu manages the food and weapons warehouses, but the energy warehouse is in Scar’s hands.

Could this have something to do with Scar?

No, Scar never left Mr. Hu’s residence at the time.

Swish!

The people around, could it be that someone close to Mr. Hu reported the news?

You know, those around Mr. Hu are the ones that have been with him the longest.

Recalling Mr. Hu’s previous loss of composure, Chen Er grew more convinced of his suspicion.

....

After Chen Er left, Mr. Hu sat alone on the spacious third-floor balcony.

After a long while, Mr. Hu finally called out to Zhou Xing, who stood in the distance.

"Zhou Xing, how long have you been with me?" Mr. Hu asked.

Zhou Xing was a bit puzzled, but he answered honestly, "About five years, before the Zombie outbreak I was already working with you."

"Five years already, time flies. What do you think of Scar?" Mr. Hu leaned forward slightly, placing his hand under the table.

Mr. Hu stared intently at Zhou Xing, as if trying to discern something from his expression.

Upon hearing the question, Zhou Xing’s eyes filled with disgust.

"Scar, even though he’s the founder of our Southern Paradise, I always feel he’s insincere. Mr. Hu, I may be speaking out of turn, but I think there’s more to the issues Scar had last time.

..."

Mr. Hu quietly watched him; reaching this position means at least being able to judge a person accurately.

The reason he called Zhou Xing over immediately was that Mr. Hu couldn’t accept betrayal from him.

He had saved Zhou Xing’s life, and Zhou Xing had saved his several times.

A bond forged through life and death, although Zhou Xing was Mr. Hu’s bodyguard, he was also the leader of Mr. Hu’s largest squad.

Furthermore, he was Mr. Hu’s most capable subordinate.

However, considering Feng Wei got news in advance and escaped, Zhou Xing was the first suspect.

After all, Zhou Xing was the one who personally led the team to ambush Feng Wei.

If Zhou Xing betrayed them and deliberately let Feng Wei escape, it was possible, since the words Zhou Xing reported were a one-sided statement.

If Zhou Xing had a guilty conscience when suddenly questioned by Mr. Hu, there should have been a moment of panic.

But in Zhou Xing’s eyes, there was immediate disgust, a deep-seated disgust, so at least Mr. Hu could know it wasn’t Zhou Xing who caused any problem.

Reflecting on what Chen Er said.

Mr. Hu naturally knew some of Scar’s small maneuvers but didn’t act against him, giving Scar a chance.

Scar had indeed expressed honesty that day, even strongly criticizing Feng Wei, claiming he wanted to deal with Feng Wei personally.

But now, although Scar hadn’t left that day, if someone around Mr. Hu reported, it would be possible.

Mr. Hu felt slightly relieved, now at least he could rule out Zhou Xing.

Among the five people who always stayed around him, he wondered who it could be.

But he couldn’t be sure, only eliminating Zhou Xing first.

He suddenly said, "Later, go check who left here that day when Scar was with me."

"You mean? Ah!" Zhou Xing’s eyes flashed a hint of killing intent as he suddenly understood Mr. Hu’s meaning.

Feng Wei couldn’t have known the news without a reason; the discussion between Mr. Hu and Scar was only known to Chen Er, Mr. Hu himself, and those around him that day.

Zhou Xing glanced at the guards outside the door, his eyes darkened.

"Could it be Ah Bing?" Zhou Xing’s mind flashed through images of several people before speaking.

"Go ask who left then it’ll be clear. Remember, act quickly, once you find out, get all the information out of him." Mr. Hu’s eyes were sharp.

"Alright, I understand," Zhou Xing nodded heavily, then rose and walked toward the balcony door.

Mr. Hu exhaled deeply.

Then he pulled his hand from under the table, grabbing a cup, and poured himself a cup of tea.

Under the table, there was a gun affixed, aiming directly at the spot where Zhou Xing was before.

If Zhou Xing had lost composure earlier, Mr. Hu would have directly exposed him.

Moreover, he would have unhesitatingly pulled the trigger.

Even though Zhou Xing had been with him for five years.

Even though Zhou Xing had saved his life.

But a traitor is a traitor, no matter the reason, he would open fire.
