Indeed, the Gao Family guard Xu Bangzi's reaction to the Mechanism Hidden Weapons had also aroused Old Master Jiang's suspicions.
Ren Ye quietly listened to his analysis, but his expression grew somewhat helpless. "This won't be easy to handle. He's the leader Master Gao sent. Deciding there's something wrong with him based on that alone is a little rash. We could end up fighting among ourselves. Besides, even if he really is suspicious, if he denies everything, there's not much we can do. We have no direct evidence, after all."
Jiang Qin looked at him with his hands behind his back. "You're a smart young man. Tell me, would this Star Gate pull something like planting a mole?"
"With seven villages and so many intertwined factions in this story reconstruction, I think a mole would be pretty normal." Ren Ye thought for a moment before answering. "In my experience, Star Gates above S-Rank don't offer any user-friendly guidance at all. You have to figure out how every mechanic works yourself."
Jiang Qin nodded slightly. "You're right. We can't ask Xu Bangzi directly. If he isn't a mole, we won't learn anything. If he really is, he certainly won't admit it, and we'll only tip him off. We need a clever approach...!"
"If we had enough time, I'd have countless ways to test him, but the birthday banquet is tomorrow. We don't have time...!" Inspiration struck Ren Ye, and he suddenly said, "Right, we can ask my big brother! He knows everything about the Gao Family. We might get some information from him."
Jiang Qin's eyes lit up. "You really are clever. No wonder those Remnant Soul Gate Spirits all like you."
"Little dick, pointy tip, a clever child's a precious gift," Old Liu chimed in sourly from up ahead.
