Chapter 305

Just when Ke Jie flew into a rage, his phone rang. Seeing that it was Long Qi calling, he immediately picked up the phone, “Did you find out anything?”

Right after he spoke, Long Qi on the other end said hastily, “Ask your people to retreat immediately. We’re all fooled.”

Ke Jie’s heart skipped a beat.  As he was about to ask the authenticity of the information, Long Qi said coldly, “Dragon Team is out. Do you think He Jingyan is just taking them out for a stroll?”

His words woke Ke Jie up. However, even he wanted to withdraw his people, he couldn’t do that because he had lost contact of Nan Xiao.

‘If Nan Xiao’s identity is exposed, my identity is very likely to be exposed as well. I can’t leave any clues that can be used against me to He Jingyan.’

Ke Jie was thinking about what to do, frustrated.

Counsellor Mo seemed to see through Ke Jie. He took a sip of tea and said lightly, “Before Nan Xiao meets He Jingyan, we silence him. Wouldn’t that solve everything?”

Ke Jie paused. Counsellor Mo was asking him to kill Nan Xiao to ensure his safety.

“I know he has worked for you for a long time, and you can’t bring yourself to do it. However, if you don’t take any action, either he or you have to die. First Prince, I hope you could be more sensible.” Mo looked up at Ke Jie calmly.

Ke Jie knew the seriousness of the situation, so he could only call his men to do it immediately.

His men turned pale. Ke Jie could dump people like Nan Xiao like a piece of trash, let alone the small potatoes that worked for him.

However, what could they say? They could only go and do as they were told. They used to think Counsellor Mo was only a fragile scholar, but now they were scared of him.

“Did anything happen to you?”

Long Qi frowned when he vaguely heard what Counsellor Mo had said. If anything happened to Ke Jie, he might be involved.

“Nothing serious. I’ll handle it.” Ke Jie meant that Long Qi should not be worried and he would not be exposed.

Long Qi had intended to ask more questions, but he changed his mind as he knew Counsellor Mo was with Ke Jie, which meant that things wouldn’t be too bad.

“My power is limited on He Jingyan’s side, and I’ve made painstaking efforts to get the information that the Dragon Team is out. It’s up to you for the following action. Don’t worry about Xing Chen. I will investigate for you, but don’t get your hope too high.”

At the beginning, Long Qi said that they were fooled. It was not because he had got some solid evidence. He inferred it from the fact that the Dragon Team was not in the unit. Therefore, he had totally no idea what was happening outside.

Of course, he was scared. After all, what he had done with Ke Jie was a serious crime. If he was caught, he would be sentenced to life imprisonment.

“Okay, I got it. Thank you.” Although he knew that Long Qi was unlikely to get a result, Ke Jie was relieved that Long Qi could help.

They didn’t talk much and hung up. At this moment, Counsellor Mo suddenly said, “Long Qi is a sly man. First Prince, you should be careful lest he would stab you in the back.”

Ke Jie was displeased, but he knew that Counsellor Mo was saying it for his good, so he didn’t lose temper. However, he said coldly, “I know what kind of person he is.”

Counsellor Mo smiled and did not say anything else. However, he asked inwardly, ‘First Prince, are you sure?’
