Chapter 288: Chapter 288: Who is the Mole
However, as Hao Liang ran to the others, Wu Yu had no choice but to stop chasing.
Hao Liang wiped his sweat: "You're the damn mole! Old Li, Old Zhang, Wu Yu is f***ing crazy! He attacks me as soon as he sees me."
"I was thinking about Chang Tianxiang's message, Old Wu disappeared, and I was afraid he was mind-controlled, so I didn't dare to fight him and just ran back as fast as I could."
"Mole, stop pretending," Wu Yu's tone was extremely cold.
Hearing Wu Yu call him the mole, Hao Liang immediately became furious and cursed back: "Wu Yu, you're talking bullsh*t! Who's the mole?"
It seemed like he was also trying to avoid suspicion.
Although Hao Liang was anxious, he still didn't stand completely together with Li Tianming and the others.
Instead, he kept his distance.
Hao Liang pointed at Wu Yu: "Wu, do you dare to come here and reason with me? Let everyone see, which of us is the real undercover."
"Reason with you, a mole who wants to kill me? There's nothing to discuss."
"Stop spreading nonsense! If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn't have run back. I would have fought you!"
"Fight?"
Wu Yu shook his head: "Even if you fought, do you think you could beat me?"
Hearing this, Hao Liang was completely enraged and immediately took out three different-colored potions from his hand, "Wu Yu, I'm really giving you too much face!"
"Fine. Since you insist on fighting, let's do it! Let's see which one of us is actually weak!"
Qin Siyang listened to the two professors cursing at each other, not daring to breathe too loudly.
Especially seeing the scholarly Hao Liang so furious that he was cursing non-stop, he felt a bit intimidated.
Zhang Kuang sighed when he saw this and said to Li Tianming: "Old Li, if the mole isn't one of them, then we probably won't be able to work together in the future."
Li Tianming's face was also dark, "Enough, you two stop arguing."
"The task now is to catch the mole."
"Mole?"
Hao Liang turned back in confusion: "Old Li, what do you mean? You mean… I'm the mole?"
Li Tianming sighed: "Not necessarily you. However, there is indeed a mole among us."
Hao Liang frowned tightly: "How do you know?"
"Didn't you encounter an imposter pretending to be someone else?"
"No, what imposter?"
Wu Yu, not far away, said, "Stop pretending. You're the mole, so of course, you didn't run into any imposters."
Wu Yu remained calm and indifferent.
"Wu Yu, if you keep spouting nonsense, I swear I'll kill you!"
Zhao Longfei spoke: "Wu Yu, Hao Liang, both of you calm down."
"There is definitely a mole among you. Since we're all here today, let's clarify everything and find that mole."
"From now on, whoever makes a move will be considered the mole."
Hearing this, Wu Yu angrily pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and stood opposite Hao Liang.
Li Tianming and the others blocked Hao Liang's escape route from the front and back.
Hao Liang snorted but ignored Wu Yu's actions.
Instead, he asked, "Finding the mole can wait. First, tell me, how did you determine there's a mole?"
Li Tianming said, "The location where Qin Siyang's signal disappeared. Aside from us, no one else knew, right?"
Hao Liang nodded: "Yes."
Li Tianming continued: "However, most of us, while scattered nearby, were attacked by enemies disguised as people close to us."
"And it happened precisely when we were all alone."
"So, someone leaked the information and contacted the enemy."
Hao Liang was even more surprised: "Are you guys making up a story to fool me?"
Li Tianming pointed at the corpse of Laudenor lying on the ground: "That one impersonated me and was killed by Qin Siyang."
"I, Old Zhang, and Old Lu all encountered similar situations."
After hearing this, Hao Liang's expression shifted several times.
Then, he put away the potion bottles in his hand.
"No wonder the atmosphere felt so weird."
"So now, who do you suspect?"
Li Tianming pressed his lips together and said with difficulty: "Principal Zhao has a tracking skill on everyone."
"But only you and Wu Yu weren't fully tracked."
"So, you two are the most suspicious."
Wu Yu sneered: "Hao Liang, did you hear that? The mole is either you or me. Either quickly come up with an excuse to accuse me, or you can just end yourself."
Hao Liang cursed at Wu Yu again: "Stop barking like a mad dog. I don't even know where you came from, and you attacked me as soon as you showed up, shouting that I'm the mole."
Li Tianming looked at Wu Yu and asked: "Old Wu, why do you think Hao Liang is the mole?"
"I was waiting here for you all. Then Old Li suddenly appeared on the wasteland and called me over to help him."
"I found it suspicious because Chief Chang hadn't issued an order for Old Li to act alone."
"So before I moved, I turned off my signal to alert Chief Chang that something might be happening."
"As expected, as soon as I got close, Old Li attacked me."
"So I fought back."
"He kept running, and I kept chasing."
"Then suddenly, maybe because his disguise ability expired, the fake Old Li vanished into thin air."
"You all know I have detection skills, so I immediately found the invisible person and continued attacking."
"When that person reappeared, he had turned into Hao Liang."
"This kind of disguise ability is a signature of the [Deceiver] class. And [Deceivers] are a bunch of gutter rats who never do anything good."
"That's how I knew Hao Liang was the mole and chased him down mercilessly."
"I chased him in circles, and unexpectedly, he ended up running back here."
Hao Liang frowned: "That's pure nonsense! I was just walking alone on the wasteland looking for Qin Siyang. My phone was on me the whole time, and my signal can prove it. How could I have had time to attack you?"
Wu Yu dismissed it: "Well, we can't contact Chief Chang right now. You can say whatever you want."
But suddenly, Qin Siyang asked: "Professor Wu, you said Professor Hao attacked you first around here?"
"Yes."
"But there's no trace of a fight nearby."
"Hmm?"
"No signs of battle? That huge crater over there. Hao Liang was just…"
Wu Yu followed the direction of his own pointing finger and widened his eyes.
A stretch of pristine wasteland lay quietly in the distance.
Now it was Wu Yu's turn to be confused.
Hao Liang squinted his eyes: "So after all this, you're the one falsely accusing me! You're the real mole!"
"Impossible!"
Wu Yu's eyes were firm.
"Hao Liang and I definitely started fighting right there!"
Everyone followed Wu Yu's pointing finger and looked.
It was indeed just wasteland.
Not a single trace of battle.
Even Li Tianming was puzzled: "Old Wu, did you remember it wrong?"
"Absolutely not!"
Wu Yu spoke with conviction.
"Old Lu."
Lu Daoxing was suddenly called out by Wu Yu and was a little surprised: "Huh? Why are you calling me? You're not about to say I'm the mole, right?"
"Do you have a lie detector?"
