The identity of the mole was what we wanted to hear, so I didn't dare to get distracted when Chu Yu brought it up.

At this point, Chu Yu herself became serious, abandoning her earlier girlish demeanor. She leaned back in the back seat, crossed her arms, and carefully explained her analysis.

"Regarding this mole, based on what I just said, we can confirm that this mole is someone close to you, Lu Xiaonan."

I nodded. "But I can't figure out who this person is?"

Chu Yu looked at me and said, "You really can't figure it out? Besides Fei Lichao and Lu Jing, who else is around you? Yesterday I said the school was safe because none of your people came, but ten of you came yesterday. What do you think?"

I was taken aback. "But they are Du Xu..."

Chu Yu said, "I know they are Du Xu's men, but they've been following you for over a month now."

Du Xu said, "How is that possible! How could there be any insiders among them..."

Before Du Xu could finish speaking, Chu Yu glared at him, and he quickly covered his mouth with his hand and waved his hand to indicate that he would no longer speak.

Chu Yu said, "Why is it impossible?"

I opened my mouth, but I didn't know how to refute it. I glanced at Du Xu, whose eyes were full of doubt and confusion.

"Among them...among these ten people, is there really a traitor?"

Chu Yu said, "We can't be sure who the mole is yet, but it's certain that there is one. Judging from all the things that have happened before, the mole's target is these ten people. You don't have anyone else around you now, right? When I met you, you told me you were going to take revenge, which means that most of your original team members are dead, leaving only Fei Lichao and Lu Jing. These two people obviously can't be the mole."

"Furthermore, the fact that no traitor has been found in Jiangbei so far can only mean that there is no traitor in Jiangbei at all. Now everything is very clear."

Chu Yu's words struck me as somewhat cruel.

Was there really a traitor among those ten people?

But there's no reason for it! Su Yao and Cui Xiaofei and the other ten people have no reason to target me, and they've never had any contact with the people at Biyuan. How could they be spies for Biyuan?

There's absolutely no reason for it!

I looked at Chu Yu and asked directly, "What's the reason? If there's a traitor among these ten people, there must be a reason, right?"

Chu Yu raised an eyebrow: "There are many interpretations of a reason. Does hating you count as a reason? If so, perhaps that's why there's an inside traitor."

"Hate me?"

"Yeah, it's because I hate you that I want to kill you, or kill everyone around you, so that I can get my revenge on you."

If that's really the case, then the matter becomes quite clear, and if it really is him, then it makes sense.

Chu Yu looked at me and smiled, "It seems you already have someone in mind."

I frowned and said, "I don't know if it's him, but I think it's very likely. If it really is him, I really don't know what to do."

Chu Yu blinked. "We can use him... but you're not sure yet, so the most important thing right now is to lure this mole out. That way we'll know if he's the mole. If we're sure he is, we can make good use of him. In the Biyuan matter, we can also win against the odds."

My mind is in turmoil.

Why would someone become a spy? Isn't living a normal life enough? Do they have to do something inexplicable to satisfy their inner needs?

Ugh, so annoying.

I really don't want to deal with this anymore. I wish I could bury my head in the sand like an ostrich and not see anything. That would be so much better.

At this moment, Du Xu raised his hand and asked, "Can I say something?"

Chu Yu and I looked at him, and I said, "Speak."

Du Xu looked at Chu Yu and said, "What if, I mean, all your reasoning and analysis are wrong?"

Chu Yu said nonchalantly, "So what if we made a mistake? We can just start over. It's just some analysis anyway, so making mistakes is normal."

Du Xu said, "So the reason you didn't want to talk about it earlier was because you suspected that the mole was one of my people, and you were afraid that if I found out, he would protect my people?"

Chu Yu nodded, "Yes, that's what I mean. Although I don't know the exact nature of your relationship with your people, they are still your people. I won't let you know these things before I get Lu Xiaonan's permission. That would be too unfair and too dangerous for Lu Xiaonan."

Du Xu turned to look at me and said, "Lu Xiaonan, if—I mean if there really is a traitor among my men, and that person really wants to kill you, I can assure you that I will not protect him, nor will I side with him, much less oppose you. But… could you, for my sake, spare him…"

"Impossible!" Chu Yu interrupted Du Xu. "Spare him? Do you think that's possible?"

Du Xu looked at me, "Lu Xiaonan..."

I raised my hand and said, "Let's talk about this later. Right now, we're not even sure who the mole is. What if our deduction is wrong, like you said? Before everything is confirmed, let's not jump to conclusions. Let's talk again after everything is over and the situation in Jiajiang has stabilized, okay?"

Du Xu nodded. "Okay, let's talk again after everything is over."

I looked at Chu Yu, changed the subject, and asked, "Do you have a way to lure out this traitor?"

Chu Yu nodded, "Yes, we can dig a hole and let him jump in himself."

I asked, "What kind of pit?"

Chu Yu smiled and said, "A trap that can kill two birds with one stone."

I'm a little curious, what kind of trap is it? And how can it kill two birds with one stone?

Chu Yu continued, "You're going to Jiangbei in a couple of days, right?"

"How did you know?" I asked in surprise. I was indeed going to Jiangbei in a couple of days to talk to Su Mu and exchange information.

Chu Yu said, "You can figure this out just by thinking about it. Since you're going to Jiangbei, this trap is easy to set. But you have to tell me who you suspect first, so we can keep an eye on them. If it really is him, this matter will be easy to resolve. If not, we'll think of another way."

"Alright, then everything from now on is up to you."

...

Next, after finalizing the plan in the car, we went straight back to school. After getting out of the car, we went to the dormitory entrance and began our plan.

To be honest, Chu Yu's plan was very simple, which made me feel uncertain.

However, if it really succeeds, it may bring many benefits.
