“I made it very clear at the banquet yesterday. They must have guessed that I suspected a traitor in the Elder Council.”
A teasing smile appeared on Ye Ying’s lips. “In addition to the letter you sent to Elder Hu last night, it also gave him a lot of pressure. He thinks that he knows me very well and knows that 1 will never show mercy to traitors. So these few days, he will definitely not be able to help but contact the outside world.”
“At that time, the surveillance virus we planted will play a key role.” Yu Feng, who had been silent for a long time, added, “We will receive the same record for every word Elder Hu reported to Duo Feng. This is absolute evidence. No matter how he quibbles in the end, it’s useless.”
After saying this, Ye Ying’s expression was very relaxed. He tapped his fingers on the stool casually. “We just have to wait and see. The wicked will get their retribution in the end.”
After the exchange, Elder Qiao quickly left the secret room. He was also worried that if he disappeared for too long and someone knocked on the door but no one answered, there would be additional problems.
However, nothing would be smooth sailing, just like how things did not go as smoothly as Ye Ying had imagined. Two days passed just like that, but Elder Hu still had no intention of taking action.
In this way, it was Ye Ying’s side who was anxious.
This was because the virus implanted in the communication device could only last for five days. As soon as five days passed, it would automatically be killed.
If this matter continued to drag on, or if Elder Flu only sent a message five days later, he would not be able to find anything on the other party and might even completely lose the initiative.
However, if he forcibly took everyone’s phones a second time, it would seem very deliberate. With the minds of the elders, they could imagine that their phones would be tampered with.
At that time, in order to prevent himself from being discovered, Elder Hu would definitely not use his phone to contact Duo Feng again.
Ye Ying knew very well that it was because he had not been pressuring Elder Hu for the past two days that the other party had the mentality of getting lucky and kept wasting time.
In that case, he had to add fuel to the fire and advance the process.
It made Elder Flu feel a sense of danger and he had no choice but to contact Duo Feng.
On the night of the fourth day, Ye Ying once again announced something important and gathered everyone together.
“I wonder why Young Master Ye called us here this time?”
Elder Qi was already used to such a life. He even enjoyed the days when he could eat whatever he wanted. “Last time, you said that when the help you found comes, we can defeat Duo Feng’s people in one go according to the plan and regain our freedom.”
“That’s right.” Ye Ying nodded with a smile. “1 did say that.”
“But it’s been three to four days. Why isn’t there any news from you? Could it be that the reinforcements you found can’t come? If that’s the case, you can’t keep us here, right?”
Elder Qi’s words were harsh as he pressed on step by step. “That’s why 1 hope that you can call us all over this time and give us a clear answer. When can we take action to eliminate Duo Feng and let us leave this place?”
“Of course there’s no problem. That’s why I called you here today.”
Ye Ying crossed his arms on the table and looked at the people in front of him calmly. “1 just received news yesterday that reinforcements will arrive tomorrow at the latest. After tomorrow, the elders will regain their freedom.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone smiled. Only Elder Hu’s smile was the most forced.
Ye Ying deliberately focused his attention elsewhere and observed the small changes in Elder Hu’s expression from the corner of his eye.
As expected, just as he had expected, Elder Hu’s right hand instinctively reached for the phone in his pocket.
This way, Ye Ying knew very well that what he had just said had already baited Elder Hu. He just had to calm down and wait..
