Chapter 293: A Single Probe Reveals All

"Leader, your subordinate does not quite understand!"

"You don't understand? What is there not to understand? Those things I said before were just meant for you to hear!"

A Chess Piece in his hand fell onto the Chessboard, and Dahuzi then looked up at the old man before him, his eyes filled with a triumphant smile.

"Look, it seems I have won this game again!"

"Did you not notice? Although you acted perfectly normal from beginning to end after I finished speaking, you were too calm. And surely, these words of mine have already reached Lord Chen by now."

"So, the reason the leader wanted to say those things to me was actually just to see my reaction!"

Taking a deep breath, the white-haired old man seemed to understand his intent, yet he did not appear flustered; instead, he became much more composed.

"So, what you said about Shen Yu killing Lord Chen is non-existent; Lord Chen will not die."

"Wrong, Chen Xing will definitely die, and it will be Shen Yu who kills him. Just as you said before, it doesn't matter if Shen Yu actually killed him; it is enough that everyone thinks he did!"

While speaking, Dahuzi grabbed a handful of Chess Pieces and threw them all onto the Chessboard. The perfectly good final game was completely ruined by him.

"The previous game was played for you; this game is played for Shen Yu!"

"Does the leader not feel he is rejoicing too early?" Looking at the chaotic Chessboard before him, the white-haired old man smiled lightly. Having pretended for so many years, he no longer needed to keep up the act.

It was a pity that he had not yet seen this vast and beautiful land in its entirety.

"Lord Chen is surrounded by countless experts; no one can kill him silently, unless you have an expert like Shen Yu under your command. But, do you?"

"You are right, I certainly do not have an expert like Shen Yu by my side. If I did, why would I need to go through so much trouble!"

"However, you overlooked one point: Chen Xing can plant Chess Pieces by my side, so do you think he wouldn't have my people by his? Why do you think Chen Xing's health has been growing weaker all these years?"

While speaking, Dahuzi picked up the Chess Pieces on the Chessboard one by one and put them back, and soon the Chessboard became completely empty.

"If I want Chen Xing to die, I can do it at any time. However, Chen Xing must die in a way that has value."

"Once Chen Xing is dead, the game targeting Shen Yu shall begin!"

"So rest assured, Chen Xing will definitely die, after Shen Yu leaves the Chen family. When the people of the Chen family go to find Chen Xing, who is alone with Shen Yu, they will discover that their Lord Chen is already dead!"

"Moreover, Chen Xing will absolutely have issued an order targeting Shen Yu beforehand, demanding that all the experts under his command go all out to hunt down Shen Yu!"

"If this matter is accidentally discovered by Shen Yu, and Shen Yu flies into a rage and kills, who could stop him? Lord Chen's death will all be perfectly logical."

"Impossible, Lord Chen would never do such a thing!" As soon as Dahuzi's words fell, the white-haired old man immediately retorted. He knew very well that Lord Chen Xing would absolutely never issue such an order.

But then his expression collapsed, as if he had thought of something, and he looked at the opposite side in disbelief.

"No, Lord Chen indeed would not do this, but this order does not necessarily need to be spoken by Lord Chen himself; it only needs to be conveyed to his subordinates by his most trusted confidant."

"And it must be an absolute confidant. In everyone's eyes, this confidant would never betray Lord Chen. If this confidant says it is Lord Chen's order, no one will think it is fake."

"Guo Yi!" His lips parted slightly, spitting out this name, and then the white-haired old man was covered in cold sweat.

This person was someone Lord Chen regarded as a nephew, treating him with the utmost sincerity; he was a confidant among confidants. Usually, many of Lord Chen's orders were conveyed by Guo Yi.

Therefore, if Guo Yi said his words were from Lord Chen, everyone would believe it.

"Smart, this is where my confidence lies!" Raising his head, Dahuzi's face was full of smiles, his mustache almost curling up.

"Guo Yi has been by Chen Xing's side for so many years; in the eyes of outsiders, Guo Yi's words are Chen Xing's words!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Guo Yi is loyal and devoted to Lord Chen and would never betray him. If he really had a problem, Lord Chen would not have failed to see it!"

If it really were Guo Yi, then Lord Chen would truly be in danger. Although the white-haired old man said he did not believe it, he was already flustered in his heart.

Is the pillar of the Imperial Court really going to fall just like this!

"You are quite right, Guo Yi is indeed loyal and devoted. This man Chen Xing is extremely accurate in judging people, with a sharp eye; his ability to discern talent is known to all the world."

"So there is no problem with Guo Yi's loyalty to Chen Xing; he has always been loyal and devoted, even if asked to die, he would do so without hesitation. But perhaps you haven't thought that Guo Yi himself has a problem!"

"Because I sealed away some of his memories. But soon, he will remember all of this immediately."

Standing up from his seat, Dahuzi looked out the window, seemingly gazing in the direction of the Chen family.

All his plans would start from there. As long as he could drag Shen Yu into the water, there would be nothing to fear. A blackened Shen Yu would be the greatest terror in the entire world.

"Perhaps even if Guo Yi remembers those past memories, he still might not be willing to betray Chen Xing. But it doesn't matter; I planted things in him long ago, and they have long since taken root and sprouted over these years. Whether he is willing or not is not up to him!"

"So, Chen Xing is dead for sure, and it was Shen Yu who killed him. This stain will never be washed away, no matter what!"

"I will slowly guide it, making Shen Yu the target of public criticism, letting him fall into depravity bit by bit in disappointment. Soon, Shen Yu will become everyone's nightmare; this day is not far off."

Speaking to this point, Dahuzi turned his head and gave the white-haired old man a faint smile, the ambition in his eyes no longer able to be suppressed.

"I heard Shen Yu also killed that son-in-law who married into the Chen family, as well as the son of his own niece; that was the only direct descendant of the Chen family."

"The last direct descendant of their Chen family was just hacked to death by Shen Yu like that."

"Tsk tsk, such deep hatred, what a good excuse; isn't this heaven helping me!"

"I have already thought out the whole story for them: Shen Yu is intolerant of evil, and facing a Chen Xing who revealed his dark side, it is normal for him to have murderous intent. After all, in everyone's impression, Shen Yu is just that kind of person."

"No matter who it is, no matter how high and powerful their position, as long as they are guilty, our Lord Shen is always impartial and selfless, killing without hesitation!"

"And as for our Lord Chen Xing, his junior was killed by Shen Yu, and he himself was threatened, so it is also normal for him to want to kill Shen Yu."

"Lord Chen Xing ordered his subordinates to find a way to deal with Shen Yu, but Shen Yu unexpectedly found out about this matter. In a fit of rage, Shen Yu flew into a killing spree. Lord Chen thus tragically died at the hands of Shen Yu."

"A good official like Lord Chen has fallen, and the world mourns together. This man Shen Yu is guilty of heinous crimes; he should be pointed at by thousands of people and leave a bad name for ten thousand years!"

"Tsk tsk, what do you think of the story I told?"
