Chapter 250: Chapter 179: A Reluctant Move (3-in-1 Mega Chapter)_4

"That’s the problem. The higher-ups are insisting that they absolutely did not reveal your information to the Lin Family..."

"But I’ve been exposed!"

"Don’t panic yet! Let me finish. Although they say so, to tell the truth, Lin Jie and his group came prepared. Even a blockhead like me can tell at a glance that Lin Jie’s attire was unusual."

Li Baizhen held up two fingers.

"So, I currently have two guesses."

"The first one is that someone higher up made a deal with the Lin Family, or the person managing the records is involved with the Lin Family, and leaked part of your information. It must be only a part because from your description, Lin Jie didn’t know it was you, just that you were definitely present."

"The second guess is that... a demon betrayed you."

What?

Fang Yu’s eyes widened.

"Lord Li Baizhen, why would a demon betray me for no reason? I’m the perfect undercover agent on their side!"

"Besides, humans and demons are natural enemies, would a demon even make deals with humans?"

"Even if we put that aside, what’s the point of a demon betraying me? What gain would there be? None, right."

Li Baizhen spread his hands.

"I’m just raising a possibility. Now, there are these two directions."

"Someone higher up sold you out."

"Or, it was the demons who sold you out."

"However, as you said, if the demons had sold you out, Green Demon wouldn’t have come to save you."

Li Baizhen frowned in thought, then sighed.

Reluctantly, he said.

"Now, we can only say that the possibility of a traitor among the higher-ups being in cahoots with the Lin Family is higher. Maybe they’re still on the fence and only gave the Lin Family some information about you, so Lin Jie didn’t come after you right from the start."

Fang Yu was speechless.

"Big brother, I’m risking my life for the Foolish Underworld! I’ve infiltrated deep into the demon’s inner circle, don’t mess with me, what am I supposed to do if my own backyard is on fire?"

Fang Yu felt that the day he’d have to flee was drawing near.

If the higher-ups were this unreliable, once his double agent spy identity got exposed, could he still mix in Tianyuan Town? Impossible, right.

No way, he had to find a way to quickly secure benefits from the Foolish Underworld and grow stronger fast.

Then, while doing his duties, prepare an escape route, and when the opportunity arises or the situation turns sour, take his second sister and run.

"Getting mad at me won’t do any good, I’m already furious!"

A higher official can crush the lower one.

After all, Li Baizhen was just a hundred-household commander with little say among the superiors.

"So what now? Today I get exposed for being involved with Lin Biesheng’s death, tomorrow someone might claim Lin Jie was killed by me. Am I supposed to wait around to be played to death?"

Even though this was true, could he really say it out loud?

From what Li Baizhen implied, Yue Guang even specially handled Lin Jie’s corpse, to avoid leaving any marks of my attacks.

He really did think of everything in detail.

"To be honest, now that things have blown up so big, I feel like the mole among the superiors wouldn’t dare to make a move for now. Later I will report this and request a detailed investigation. Actually, not many people have access to this, the range of suspects is small, and if we really investigate, we’ll definitely find something, but I’m afraid..."

Li Baizhen paused abruptly at that point.

"Afraid of what?" Fang Yu was puzzled.

"Afraid that the higher-ups won’t agree to the investigation," Li Baizhen admitted candidly.

"...," Fang Yu’s face darkened again.

So I’m just an expendable piece to be discarded, with the higher-ups covering for each other, huh?

"Furthermore, this is not even the worst of it. The worst part is that the Lin Family is now pressuring the higher-ups to make a decision."

"The Lin Family? What decision?"

Li Baizhen held up three fingers.

"Keeping you safe comes at a price."

"Three days."

"They’re demanding that within three days, our Foolish Underworld must capture Green Demon, behead him, and deliver his head to the doorstep of the Lin Family as an explanation."

"Otherwise, the previous agreement becomes void."

"The Lin Family will take action against you."

Fang Yu was dumbstruck on the spot.

He understood.

The Lin Family’s demand was simple.

Either he dies,

or Green Demon dies.

Either way, someone has to die.

Fang Yu’s complexion visibly darkened.

"Outrageous! Does the Lin Family own the entire Tianyuan Town? Does our Foolish Underworld have no dignity?"

Li Baizhen shook his head slightly.

"Tianyuan Town has always been controlled by the Five Great Families. Our Foolish Underworld has a say, but not you or me."

"In the end, there’s only one issue. To those above us, our worth is not yet significant enough."

Taking a deep breath, Li Baizhen continued.

"Diao Deyi, that line must be cut. We can’t follow through with the Green Demon anymore."

"Hand over Green Demon, submit to the superiors, submit to the Lin Family. Then you can start afresh, pursuing the legitimate path of a Demon Martial Artist."

"With my recommendation, you can climb up."

"Even higher than where I climbed and change this gradually decaying Foolish Underworld!"

What...?

You want me to betray Green Demon??

My Brother Qing just granted me the power of his bloodline!

What the hell are you talking about!

Clenching his fists and slightly shaking his head, Fang Yu said.

"It’s not time yet, I’m about to reel in the big fish! The next demon assembly is coming up soon, and then..."

Li Baizhen suddenly roared, interrupting him.

"By then you’ll be dead!"

Realising his tone was harsh, he softened his voice, and earnestly continued.

"I know you want to make a name for yourself, and you’ve been on this line for a while, but with the Lin Family applying pressure, you have to survive by cutting off your tail!"

"I never asked you for information about Green Demon before, precisely because I was afraid that knowing too much would make me slip up and expose you."
