Chapter 1215: Conscience
“That’s easy!” Helian Qingyu smiled.
The plan that Helian Qingyu and Huo Yunshen made up needed the President’s approval before they could deploy armies into Lstan.
Helian Qingyu called Huo Yunshen right away, and Huo Yunshen rushed to the President’s Mansion without any delay.
Xu Xiyan also came with Huo Yunshen as Jun Yan and waited in the White Tower’s lobby.
As she waited, she walked around the garden and overheard the First Lady’s conversation.
Yun Xuerou was sipping on her tea while her servant was reporting to her about the President’s routine.
The conversation caught Xu Xiyan’s attention when she heard Yun Xuerou mentioning Huo Yunshen, and she got closer to Yun Xuerou.
“What does the President need from Huo Yunshen?” Yun Xuerou asked.
“My apologies, I’m not informed,” Yun Xuerou’s servant replied.
“Get the butler to send some tea over and plant a bug in his office,” Yun Xuerou ordered after thinking for a while.
“Yes, ma’am.”
After hearing what Yun Xuerou had planned, Xu Xiyan left he garden quietly and waited.
Before long, she spotted an old man with a tray of tea approaching Le Xiu. After going through Le Xiu’s inspection, the old man approached the President’s office.
“Halt!” Xu Xiyan shouted as she came out from hiding and stopped the old man. “What’s that?”
“Tea for the President and his guest,” the old man, Old Man Xia, said, not giving much attention to the outsider.
“I’ve checked the contents,” Le Xiu said from behind the old man. “Mr. Jun, Is there something wrong?”
“I think there’s something wrong with the tea,” Xu Xiyan said.
“Something wrong?”
“Yes, I think it’s bugged.”
“What?” Old Man Xia scolded as his hands shook. “Are you accusing me? I’ve been working here for over 20 years! There’s no way I would do something like that!”
“I think you’re mistaken, Mr. Jun,” Le Xiu said. “Old Man Xia has been here for a very long time, and I’ve already checked the tea too.”
“If there’s nothing in the tea, then the bug must be on him!” Xu Xiyan said. “I think he’s a spy.”
“This is absurd!”
“Oh? Am I? Why don’t you let me check you then?”
Upon hearing that the man in front of him wanted to check him, Old Man Xia threw the tray away and tried to run.
But Xu Xiyan was already prepared for that. She grabbed Old Man Xia from the back and pinned him to the ground.
“Mr. Le, please check if there’s any bugs on his body.”
“You have no right to do so!” Old Man Xia shouted.
“He has the right if the President’s life is at stake,” Xu Xiyan said.
Le Xiu began to search Old Man Xia, and as Xu Xiyan had said, he found a bug planted on the old man.
“Why are you doing this?” Le Xiu questioned. “You’re a traitor!”
