Chapter 73

Yan Bugui stood at the entrance of the courtyard, watching Xushu walk away. His mind was a tangled mess of confusion. He remembered that when he went to Yi Zhonghai’s house that day, Xushu clearly had not yet returned. Moreover, Yi Zhonghai had sworn to him that he would never leak the matter, even encouraging him to boldly extract more benefits from Xushu. Yet, looking at Xushu’s resolute expression and the confidence in his words just now, it was clearly no bluff. This meant there must be a "spy" close to him; otherwise, there was no way Xushu could have known. Yan Bugui’s brow furrowed into a knot, his eyes squeezed shut. He mentally cycled through the faces of everyone in the courtyard, frantically searching for the potential whistleblower. He reviewed his recent conversations and contacts, trying to find even a shred of evidence. But even after racking his brain until it ached, he remained clueless, unable to pinpoint a single suspect.
