"Since you suspect him, you can simply use your ability to read his memories. Lu Qin is dead, and no one can restrict you anymore," Jiang Cheng said.
Shao Tong frowned, his expression turning serious. "Of course I tried, but without Lu Qin's help, my ability is severely limited. I can only access a small part of Yao Shunyu's memories, and they're all from the recent past. That part of his memory... is very clean."
Jiang Cheng sensed that Shao Tong meant more than he was saying. He'd said the memories were very clean, not that there was nothing wrong with them. "Did you find something?"
"Those memories of his are too clean. So clean that you can't find a single problem. Everything seems so orderly, just like..." Shao Tong paused, searching for the right words. "A precision machine."
Jiang Cheng knew how complicated a person's memories could be. A stretch of memories that seemed to have nothing wrong with it was precisely the biggest problem.
Wu raised a finger and pointed toward the door. "Those villagers are pounding on it."
Dealing with the villagers obviously took priority over Yao Shunyu. After all, Li Bai was still in grave danger. Jiang Cheng sent Shao Tong out first to calm the agitated villagers and tell them that Li Bai was about to eat.
After Shao Tong left, Li Bai shook her head in pain. The weakness in her body, combined with the mental strain, had left her utterly exhausted. "Yao Shunyu... I don't believe he'd betray us!"
"I don't believe it either, but we'll get to the bottom of things." Jiang Cheng sat beside the bed and comforted Li Bai. "Leave this to me. Just focus on what you need to do."
Li Bai gazed at Wu with a complicated expression.
