Chapter 161: Chapter 105: Mole? Jiang Mu’s Desperate Counterattack

Ran Qingshan played the recording.

This time, it was, surprisingly, Xu Fu’s voice:

"Damn it! That bastard Ran Qingshan doesn’t value me. He looks down on me, thinking I, Xu Fu, am only good enough for scraps! My Lord, from this day forward, I, Xu Fu, am nothing but Lord Mist Demon’s dog! WOOF WOOF!"

"Fuck!"

Xu Fu blew his top on the spot. "How did I become a mole too?! And what the hell was that ’woof woof’?"

He hurriedly said to Ran Qingshan:

"Lord Chief, I would never curse you like that! I mean, that’s what I think in my heart, but—Pah! I don’t think that, not even in my heart!"

But it wasn’t over.

Immediately after, more Sound Stones were brought in one by one.

"Lord Chief, the East Street patrol team sent a Sound Stone, said they found it on the side of the road..."

"The West City sub-hall sent a Sound Stone, said a citizen turned it in..."

"Report! The South Gate guards sent..."

And the voices from these Sound Stones included Yan Fenghuo’s and those of other Hall Masters...

There was even Ran Qingshan’s own voice:

"Being the Chief is so boring. It’s much more exciting being an undercover agent for the Demon Fiends..."

In short, within a very brief time,

every single person sitting in the great hall had become a mole colluding with Demon Fiends!

A hall full of villains!

In an instant, the entire hall descended into chaos.

Everyone was completely thrown off by this absurd situation.

"What the hell is going on!?"

"I’m a mole now too!?"

"..."

Jiang Mu watched the pandemonium with a cold gaze, secretly delighted.

’Do they really think I don’t have a backup plan?’

Of course, he had recorded these voices himself. The Sound Stones were also the ones he had confiscated from the Shen family last time.

Don’t forget, after killing the Fox Demon, he had obtained a Fox Demon’s Demon Shadow that could imitate anyone’s voice.

He had even used this function once while investigating Madam Liu.

When he acquired those Sound Stones from the Shen family, Jiang Mu had a gut feeling that there were surely more.

’Even that fool Madam Shen knew to make backups. How could the mastermind not know?’

From that moment on, Jiang Mu had been on his guard.

It wasn’t until Yan Fenghuo took him on a mission to test him that Jiang Mu finally realized he was in a precarious situation and began planning a countermeasure for this very day.

So, he had re-refined those Sound Stones with Demonic Qi, then recorded them one by one.

He recorded everyone.

It completely used up the Fox Demon’s Demon Shadow.

He never thought he’d actually have to use it.

Seeing the time was right, Jiang Mu took a deep breath and proclaimed with an air of righteous fury:

"Everyone! Don’t you all understand yet? This is the enemy’s scheme! Their goal is to confuse us, to sow discord and make us suspect each other, to destroy us from within!"

He turned to Ran Qingshan and said with a pained and furious expression:

"Lord Chief, there are traitors in our ranks!!"

Hearing this, the other Hall Masters immediately joined in, cursing and shouting.

At a time like this, whoever didn’t act agitated and angry was the real mole.

Jiang Mu looked at Wen He, whose face was blank and devastated, and sighed.

"Master Wen, when I found this Sound Stone, I immediately knew it was a fake.

Because I believe in your character, Master Wen. You could never be a mole! That’s why I kept it hidden, afraid it would harm the camaraderie between colleagues.

I was even planning to destroy it secretly, to prevent it from getting out and ruining your reputation, as well as unsettling our brothers.

But I never would have expected it, Master Wen!

You... you fell for the enemy’s treacherous plot so easily! You got your hands on a forged Sound Stone and couldn’t wait to jump out and make an accusation.

What will our brothers think of you now? How can Elder Tian and Director Ran ever trust you again!?"

"You... I... It’s not... This..."

Wen He completely lost his composure.

He pointed at Jiang Mu, then looked at the Sound Stone in his own hand—the one he had treated as a priceless treasure—and felt the world spin as his vision went dark.

The way the others looked at Wen He also changed.

Look at Master Jiang. He trusted Wen He so much and always considered the bigger picture.

But Wen He?

He’d found one little thing, treated it like a priceless treasure, and rushed to report on a colleague, practically itching to crush him!

The difference in their character and magnanimity was as clear as day!

Jiang Mu shook his head, walked over to pat Wen He on the shoulder, and sighed.

"Master Wen, you... you just don’t understand how recordings work."
