These words did make sense. At the moment, there was nothing more tortuous than waiting aimlessly. Letting Elder Qiao enter to talk was not a wise choice.
“Thank you, Elder Qiao. Since he has already asked all his family members to evacuate, it means that he has already sensed something. Therefore, you don’t have to continue hiding it. Just say what you have to say.”
Ye Ying gave him an affirmative look, mixed with worry and a little anticipation. “Just do your best. If you feel that something is wrong, retreat immediately. What I’m afraid of now is that Elder Hu will find something fishy and choose to fight to the death in the end.”
“Young Master Ye, don’t worry.” Elder Qiao revealed confidence from the inside out. “1 think it’s still too early. Elder Hu won’t go so far as to fall out with us. He must be in a dilemma, so it’s the best time for me to find him now.”
“What you said is indeed reasonable, but how to speak is another vexing matter.” A hint of probing flashed across Ye Ying’s clear eyes. “Since Elder Hu chose to betray the mercenary group, it proves that Duo Feng gave him enough benefits. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so determined.”
Elder Qiao did not answer Ye Ying immediately. Instead, he tidied his clothes and walked to the door. Then, he slowly turned around.
“On account of all these years, 1’11 give him a chance first. But if he refuses to accept my kindness, don’t blame me for being rude.”
Elder Qiao’s gaze gradually turned sharp. “The best way is to push him from behind. When he’s really at the edge of the cliff, he naturally won’t be able to help but make a choice. However, if this choice isn’t us, Young Master Ye will deal with the rest.”
After saying that, Elder Qiao pushed the door open and walked straight to the door of Elder Hu’s room.
He first heaved a sigh of relief, then immediately knocked on the door.
There were three knocks on the door. Elder Hu, who was in the surveillance cameras, was shocked by the sudden commotion. Because he did not know who it was, he instinctively hid the cell phone in his hand.
He could only try his best to make his emotions look normal. However, no matter how deliberately he hid it, it was inevitable that he would panic.
At this moment, Ye Ying was even more focused on the monitor. Elder Qiao was going to interview him alone. It was such a good opportunity. He had to find some clues that were deliberately useful.
The door was opened from the inside by Elder Hu.
After seeing who it was, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, but he quickly retracted his gaze. Obviously, the moment someone knocked on the door, he had thought that it would be Elder Qiao. Now, it only confirmed his guess.
In terms of qualifications and experience, Elder Qiao was the most experienced among the five elders. Such a small detail naturally could not escape his discerning eyes.
“Elder Hu, what’s wrong? It’s not the first day we’ve known each other. 1 just came to chat with you. There’s no need to stare at me with such a strange gaze.”
“Look at what you’re saying. It sounds like I have a guilty conscience. 1 just didn’t expect you to look for me at this time. It’s inevitable that 1’11 be a little surprised,” Elder Hu said.
Elder Qiao smiled and looked very natural. “In that case, Elder Hu, you don’t mind me going in, right?”
“Of course not. Please come in.”
The moment Elder Qiao entered, Elder Hu’s expression immediately changed. His gaze became sharp, and he tightened his grip on the door. When the two of them sat opposite each other on the sofa, Elder Hu regained his respectful appearance.
“Eider Qiao, I don’t know what tea you’re used to drinking, but we’re at Young Master Ye’s place now. He provided all the tea leaves.”
Elder Hu personally brewed tea leaves and brought them to the table. “So if you’re not used to it, you can only endure it first. When you come to my house as a guest, I’ll definitely bring something good to entertain you..”
