Chapter 1214: Chapter 479: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes Chapter 1214: Chapter 479: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes Even with today's technological advancements, humans still can't predict earthquakes, let alone the exact time they will strike a few hours later. That's simply not something an ordinary person can do. If Gu Dezhao isn't lying, then the owner of this piece of paper is no ordinary individual.

Yan Fei thought for a moment, then asked, “What happened next… how did you decide?”

Gu Dezhao said, “I was also shocked that someone could predict the exact time of an earthquake, so I immediately expressed my willingness to be his spokesperson, to do things for him in exchange for wealth and honor.”

Yan Fei asked, “When and how did that piece of paper appear?”

Gu Dezhao, with a mournful face, said, “I can't contact it at all normally, but when it wants to appear, it just automatically shows up on me. First, an envelope would appear, and inside there would be a piece of paper filled with the things I need to do and the steps I need to take. I just need to follow the orders.”

Yan Fei asked, “Why did you show up in Africa before and meet me? Was it also because of the orders on that piece of paper?”

Gu Dezhao said, “Yes, the trip to Africa was my first official task. I only decided to accept the task, and next thing I knew, I arrived in Africa all confused. I don't even know how I left the country, considering I don't have a passport and can't speak any foreign languages. But I still set up a fortune-telling stall at the African market as instructed by the paper, and then you and Miss Wen Rou appeared, so I acted out a scene for you two following the orders.”

Suddenly, Lu Pingping asked, “Did you know Yan Fei and Wen Rou before?”

Gu Dezhao said, “I'm just an ordinary person, how could I possibly know them? However, there were descriptions of their appearances on the paper, so I recognized them at first glance. My task was to disguise myself as a senior with predictive ability, to guide Yan Fei and Wen Rou to seek future prophecies from me, while also passing the paper to them.”

Yan Fei said, “How did the paper filled with prophecies end up in the drawer?”

Gu Dezhao said, “I have no idea! I was just responsible for the performance; after I performed, the paper would appear automatically. Honestly, if you hadn't told me the content of the paper, I wouldn't have known what was written on it at all.”

Yan Fei said, “Later in Shanghai, you gave me the sea location coordinates to find Lu Pingping; this time on Dream Island, you predicted that Wen Rou was safe and sound. Is all of this because that hidden person instructed you through the paper to show up?”

Gu Dezhao said, “Yes, I just have to accept his command, and I'll come to you all confused. Once the task is completed, I'll leave you in the same state. I'm just an insignificant performer and messenger, I don't know anything else!”

Lu Pingping asked, “Where do you hide when you're not on a task?”

Gu Dezhao said, “When I don't have a task, I just stay in a deserted place, not knowing where exactly it is. However, food automatically appears every day, and I haven't experienced hunger.”

Yan Fei said, “Who is the person hidden behind you, don't you have any feeling at all?”

Old Man Gu, with a woeful face, said, “The other party appears and disappears unpredictably, without leaving any clues. How could I possibly know who it is? Ever since I completed this task and couldn't leave your side, I've had a premonition that the person behind me has given up on me. I knew I would be exposed sooner or later, so I indulged in unrestrained pleasure on Dream Island, enjoying my last days, because I knew my time was up. But I never expected that prophecy would cause Wen Rou to be killed, and the world might even face destruction so serious…”

Yan Fei and Lu Pingping looked at each other, not expecting Gu Dezhao's predictive ability to be like this. Although they had discovered the truth about Gu Dezhao, they were immediately caught in an even greater mystery. The person behind Gu Dezhao seemed to truly possess the ability to predict the future, as he could predict earthquakes and even led Yan Fei to find Dream Island. But who exactly was this person? What was his purpose in using Gu Dezhao to get close to Yan Fei? Was it just to get Yan Fei to Dream Island and then start a war with The United States of America?

From the behavior of this hidden mastermind, he seemed to be somewhat friendly to Yan Fei in the early stages, at least helping Yan Fei out of trouble a few times and even allowing him to obtain Dream Island, an excellent development base. However, in the latest prophecy, he began to scheme against Yan Fei. He not only caused Wen Rou's death but also led to a serious military conflict between Dream Island and The United States of America.

Yan Fei couldn't understand what this hidden mastermind was up to or why he would do these things. If Yan Fei had discovered Gu Dezhao's secret earlier, he would have been more cautious and would not have allowed Wen Rou to be killed by Americans. But such a mysterious person had a complete grasp of everything about Yan Fei; even if Yan Fei had discovered it earlier, it would have been difficult to avoid the other party's schemes…

Later, Yan Fei and Lu Pingping asked Gu Dezhao some more questions, but Gu Dezhao knew nothing. Only after they couldn't get any more useful intelligence did they leave the room where Gu Dezhao was held. As a very important key figure, they couldn't possibly let Gu Dezhao go. They were determined to use Gu Dezhao to find the hidden mastermind and avenge Wen Rou. To get justice for Wen Rou, Yan Fei even tied Gu Dezhao's ropes a bit tighter before leaving.
