Chapter 485 - The Real Mastermind

The expression of deep shock emerged on the faces of the guests. They didn't expect Xiao Tian would say something like that.

Earlier, Xiao Tian kept suspecting Geng Tai, but he suddenly said the mastermind behind all of it was Dong Chang.

Of course, they wanted to know why Xiao Tian thought Dong Chang was the real mastermind. Earlier, Xiao Tian and Dong Chang talked nicely, and they didn't seem to have any hostility towards each other.

Not only the guest, but Qing Feng was also surprised after hearing Xiao Tian's words.

'Oh! So this is the reason for his previous actions. It seems I can't underestimate his intelligence despite his young age.'

Qing Feng finally understood why Xiao Tian was suddenly out of control earlier.

Lan Ruoxi was also surprised by Xiao Tian's words.

'So earlier, he pretended to be angry at Geng Tai and used that to find out the real mastermind. I don't know what to say about him anymore. He is a really extraordinary young man.'

Actually, Lan Ruoxi had suspected that the real mastermind was Dong Chang. In the past, she lived in Beijing for several years and had known Geng Tai for about two years.

Even though Geng Tai was an annoying person, but he never used a dirty way to attract her attention or make her his woman.

All Geng Tai did was send flowers to her place every day, invite her to dinner, and come over to her place.

Even though he tried to embrace her once, but when she said that he was not allowed to do that, Geng Tai never tried to hug her again.

He always did what he was told. For this reason, she knew that he really loved her. However, because she had no feelings for him, she rejected his love.

At this moment, Qing Xiulan spoke to Qing Feng in a low voice, "Big brother, do you also suspect Dong Chang to be the mastermind?"

"Yes." Qing Feng answered instantly.

Like Xiao Tian, Qing Feng also paid attention to the waiter's behavior earlier. When he found out the waiter glanced at Dong Chang several times, coupled with him knowing Dong Chang's secret, he suspected that Dong Chang was the real mastermind.

"I see." Qing Xiulan touched her chin before looking at Xiao Tian. "Earlier, I thought he suspected Geng Tai to be the mastermind. I didn't expect all of his actions were just acting."

She didn't expect Xiao Tian to have the same thoughts as her big brother.

"Me too." Qing Feng replied. "He is an interesting young man."

The expression of deep shock appeared on Geng Tai's face after hearing Xiao Tian's words. Earlier, he thought Xiao Tian would continue suspecting him.

'So all of his actions were only acting!'

Geng Tai had no idea whether he should be happy or not. Of course, he still hated Xiao Tian because he stole Lan Ruoxi from him. But after remembering Xiao Tian's words, he shifted his gaze from Xiao Tian to Dong Chang.

His eyes were filled with killing intent. Earlier, when he and Xiao Tian almost had a fight, Dong Chang was the one who told him to control his anger. He didn't expect Dong Chang to want to pit him against Xiao Tian.

"What do you mean by that, friend Xue?" Dong Chang didn't expect Xiao Tian would say something like that. "How could you say something that? I have no enmity with you, so there is no point in hurting you. Aren't we already like friends earlier?"

Xiao Tian began to explain why he suspected Dong Chang as the mastermind. "Earlier, I coincidently noticed the waiter kept glancing at you. Everyone maybe didn't notice it because the waiter only glanced at you for a second. That was the first time I began to suspect that you are the real mastermind behind all of this."

Xiao Tian then continued, "To make sure that you are really the real mastermind, I pretended to be angry at Geng Tai because I wanted to know your reaction. And as I thought, when I pretended to be out of control, I saw you grinning. It's because you thought everything was going according to your plan, right?"

Geng Tai walked towards Dong Chang and said angrily. "Bastard! So, you wanted to pit him against me?"

"What? Earlier when he was furious at Mr Geng, it was only acting?!"

"So, the real mastermind is Mr Dong Chang?"

"I didn't think it would turn out like this."

"I thought the mastermind was Mr Geng Tai."

"Me too."

Several people believed Xiao Tian's words because he gave them a good explanation.

Xiao Tian shifted his gaze from Dong Chang to the waiter. "He is the real mastermind, right?"

The waiter had an expression of terror on his face. Since Xiao Tian had correctly guessed who the real mastermind was, he didn't know what to say anymore.

The waiter also knew that his career would end later. Previously, he had dared to lie in front of everyone. He even still lied when the Qing family promised to protect him.

Because the waiter said nothing, Xiao Tian was annoyed. For this reason, he grabbed the waiter by the neck. "Answer me!"

The waiter, who had never learned martial arts, could only struggle to free himself. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get Xiao Tian's right hand off his neck.

Because the waiter didn't try to tell him anything, Xiao Tian choked the waiter's neck even harder. His actions almost made the waiter faint.

When Qing Feng saw what Xiao Tian was doing, he immediately spoke, "Mr Xue, please stop this. Let me handle this first."

Xiao Tian stared at Qing Feng for three seconds before finally releasing the waiter.

"Cough…cough." The waiter coughed after Xiao Tian let him go. However, his face was still red because previously, Xiao Tian had violently strangled his neck.

Qing Feng immediately stood in front of the waiter and spoke, "So, you lied to us before, huh? Well, I can still forgive you but on one condition. You have to tell us who the real mastermind is. Don't you dare lie again this time."

Because Qing Feng had said something like that, the waiter didn't dare to lie to them again. For this reason, he stared at Dong Chang and spoke, "The real mastermind is..."

However, before the waiter had finished his words, Dong Chang ran away. He knew that the waiter would tell them everything, and he would not be able to lie again.

That was why he wanted to run away because if he stayed there, he would be doom.

When Xiao Tian noticed it, he immediately ran after Dong Chang, and when he was close to Dong Chang, he threw a flying kick, causing Dong Chang to fall to the floor. "You want to run, huh? So I was right when I said you were the real mastermind."

Of course, Dong Chang tried to free himself but failed because Xiao Tian paralyzed his movements.

"Tell me! Why did you do that?" Xiao Tian wanted to know the reason why Dong Chang did that to him.

"I think I know the reason." Qing Feng spoke abruptly.
