Chapter 325: Go Ask the Person Himself

~7 min read 1,269 words

Zhao Hong, when he was in the organization, often did the job of cleaning up after others.

Moreover, the superiors over there are harder to deal with; by comparison, the boss Wu Ya is practically an angel.

And… although the side project didn't involve him and Qing Shan before, now it does!

Do some work; it's only right.

As for that guy Chen Qing Shan… he can't even handle this small task, he really should go learn properly!

Zhao Hong acted quickly; instead of confronting Chen Qing Shan first, he checked his own private chat page. After confirming it wasn't his fault, he confidently opened Chen Qing Shan's private chat window.

Previously this kid was a well‑connected person; though he didn't flaunt his power, no one dared to provoke him.

But after Black Feather arrived, everyone was the same, and even Cheng Shuili held Guanghui in even higher regard.

Because of that, Guanghui's back has become noticeably straighter.

【Guanghui Shining on the Blue Star】: "Did you check the faction channel? That Potato brother—did you invite him in?"

When Chen Qing Shan saw the message, he was a bit stunned and immediately retorted:

【Qing Shan Yuan Xing】: "??? I really don't recall that person."

【Qing Shan Yuan Xing】: "Could I possibly have brought that guy in? No way! We always recruit strictly according to the boss's list, one person per slot, no mistakes. And by that logic, the root cause must be the boss's recruits! This accusation against me is completely unfair!"

Zhao Hong: "......"

He felt overwhelmed, but out of a sense of responsibility to give the boss an answer, he patiently asked Chen Qing Shan to double‑check himself.

Zhao Hong thought that this kid was unreliable, maybe he misread the name! Or, more seriously, perhaps he himself took something and used it to pull people in!

That latter speculation would be very serious.

Black Feather had just been founded; such a scandal, whoever caused it, would certainly have to bear the consequences.

Chen Qing Shan, still unfazed, replied after checking: "I really didn't invite him; you must see clearly!"

Seeing this message.

Zhao Hong was indeed getting anxious; he furrowed his brows and double‑checked again.

Seeing Chen Qing Shan's denial again, Zhao Hong felt his head buzz.

If the boss is asking him, it must mean he already checked and the interview‑passed list doesn't include this person!

The invitation of a player into the faction was handled by him and Chen Qing Shan together; he has no invitation record here, and Chen Qing Shan doesn't either?

So could this person have sprouted from the territory's soil? Grown up and just joined the faction?

Zhao Hong's face turned sour; after pondering carefully, he saw only one possibility: Chen Qing Shan did this, exactly as he suspected.

This person took something from someone, but didn't expect to pull in such a troublemaker; he was exposed on the first day and the boss uncovered it. Now, fearing punishment, he simply refuses to admit it!

Guanghui's mind buzzed, and he still couldn't figure out how things had escalated to this point.

Could Chen Qing Shan really have done something like this?

He knit his brows and, unwilling to give up, asked Chen Qing Shan once more: "Are you sure there's no invitation info on your side?"

The two have become comrades in adversity, from the organization to the present Black Feather.

If we talk about who Zhao Hong gets along best with inside Black Feather, it's definitely Chen Qing Shan.

But now that this has happened, could Zhao Hong, with a clear conscience, cover for him to Cheng Shuili? Hide the fact that Wu Ya offered an olive branch when he was most helpless?

Impossible.

He stared at Chen Qing Shan's private chat window, his clenched palms sweating lightly.

After being asked so many times, even a slow‑witted Chen Qing Shan finally sensed the issue; he suddenly realized something and broke out in a cold sweat, "So it wasn't you who invited?"

When Zhao Hong saw that line, he was so angry he almost stood up; how could that kid be so slow?

If he had invited the person, why would he still be asking?

【Guanghui Shining on the Blue Star】: "It wasn't me! The boss just asked me; that person isn't on the list at all! Yet now this person is literally hopping around in the faction channel!"

That final line, like cold water poured over his head, snapped Chen Qing Shan on the other side of the screen awake; his previous laxity and lucky‑break mindset vanished.

He's not stupid, just sometimes a beat slow; now he finally grasps the seriousness of the problem.

A player who entered the faction without proper procedure and without knowing how to blend in is no longer a simple oversight—it could jeopardize the entire faction's safety!

【Qing Shan Yuan Xing】: "Damn! Wait for me! I'll check again! It definitely wasn't me!"

Chen Qing Shan frantically flipped through his invitation log again, his heart pounding like a drum.

Zhao Hong watched Chen Qing Shan's near‑incoherent reply, his brows furrowing even tighter.

Seeing Qing Shan's reaction, it really didn't seem like a lie…

Could it really not be him?

The thought struck, and Zhao Hong himself was startled.

If it's not Chen Qing Shan, the problem is even worse.

Zhao Hong didn't wait any longer; he immediately opened a private chat with Cheng Shuili to report the news to the boss.

He also worried the boss might not believe him, contemplating whether to compile his and Qing Shan's invitation records as evidence to send to the boss.

Cheng Shuili replied with just three words: "Got it."

Got it?

Zhao Hong was indeed a bit stunned; his mind had been buzzing, and now the sound was louder.

What does the boss mean? Will we still have him work for us? Still trust him? It can't really be Chen Qing Shan, can it? He wouldn't betray the boss's trust, would he?

While Zhao Hong was rambling, another message from Cheng Shuili arrived.

【Wu Ya Zuo Fei Ji】: "Go busy yourself; since it's not your problem, it's not your business."

Zhao Hong muttered the line twice before sighing in relief; the other side trusts him and Qing Shan.

Zhao Hong thought, and suddenly felt himself extremely extremely extremely extremely extremely.

Because the Wu Ya boss is even more worthy to follow than he imagined.

Here, Zhao Hong, still trusted by Lao Da, has a smile on his eyebrows, while Cheng Shuili, having learned the latest news, tightly knits her eyebrows.

He wasn't invited in by Zhao Hong and his group, nor did he pass an interview; so how did this person end up in the faction channel?

Anything Zhao Hong can think of, Cheng Shuili can of course think of as well.

But, if you doubt someone, don't employ them; if you employ someone, don't doubt them.

Cheng Shuili would not maliciously speculate about her subordinates.

Moreover, if it truly was they who invited him privately, they should at least have said something like "take care".

The invited person surely knows his identity must not be exposed, and wouldn't be so brazen on the faction channel.

Moreover, the other side is clearly after the information; no matter how you look at it, it seems like they were sent by another faction…

Cheng Shuili pondered for a moment, then simply relaxed her eyebrows.

She decided to choose the simplest method: if she can't think of an answer, just go ask.

As for whom to ask?

Of course, ask Tudou bro himself.
