In the military camp meeting room.

A dozen men in military uniforms stood there, discussing, "Why did the commander call us all here? He even suspects we've leaked the whereabouts of the Condors."

"That should be the case. Song Yuzhou is really going too far. He actually doubts us. We are all comrades who have been through life and death together. How could he possibly harm one of our own?"

"That's right."

Just as everyone was protesting in dissatisfaction, Song Yuzhou and the army commander came over together.

Seeing them, the scene fell silent.

The commander put his hands behind his back and said seriously, "I asked everyone to come here today to prove something. Some time ago, when Song Yuzhou was on a mission, his whereabouts were leaked, leading to an ambush."

Upon hearing this, a soldier said unhappily, "Commander, Captain Song's whereabouts have been leaked. It might not be us. He failed to hide well during the mission and was discovered by the enemy."

"That's right. We're all soldiers. We've worked so hard to get to where we are today. Who would have nothing better to do than do something like this?"

"Yes, Captain Zhang is right,"

“…”

Listening to their words, Song Yuzhou said calmly: "We have been taking mountain roads during our journey, so it is difficult to be discovered. In addition, it takes time from discovering their whereabouts to choosing the best low point to ambush."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

"Everyone says that this matter has nothing to do with them, so we invited this magic stone today to find out the truth." The commander continued.

Everyone looked sideways and saw a soldier holding a wooden box and covering the box with a red cloth.

"Is this the legendary divine stone?"

The commander pulled open the red cloth, revealing a large stone inside, no different from an ordinary stone.

"Commander, is this stone really so magical?" someone asked in confusion.

The commander said with emotion, "You're right, it's truly miraculous. This morning, when I requested the divine stone, I specifically tried it. And it actually detected that I was lying."

The news has been spreading like wildfire within a ten-mile radius these days. Coupled with the commander's words, everyone has full faith in the power of this magic stone.

"That's good, let it tell us the truth. Captain Song, if there were no leakers among us, we would punish you severely." Captain Yue Zhen laughed heartily.

As a senior general in the army, he was naturally unhappy about being suspected.

But if there really are troublemakers, he wants to find them out.

"Of course." Song Yuzhou replied with a faint smile, "What we do is for the good of the army."

As he spoke, Song Yuzhou glanced at the soldier. The soldier understood and took the sacred stone to the next room.

Song Yuzhou's cold gaze fell on everyone, and everyone had a different expression.

When his eyes fell on Xia Xiaodong, a flash of suspicion crossed his eyes.

"Comrades, who will go first?" Song Yuzhou said in a low voice.

"I'll do it." Captain Yue Zhen was the first to speak out.

"Then I'll be second."

"I'm the third one."

Song Yuzhou nodded and asked everyone to line up and enter in turn.

Ten minutes later, the verification officially began.

Everyone is ready to be verified.

The stone was placed in a wooden box, and the man placed his hands on the stone and said forcefully: [I am not the one who leaked the secret].

"Remember, you must place both hands on the stone, otherwise the magic stone will not be able to read your heart." Song Yuzhou emphasized.

"Okay." Everyone said in unison.

Next, verification begins.

Xia Xiaodong originally wanted to be the last one in line, but unexpectedly he was pulled over by another soldier.

Standing in the center of the team, looking at the divine stone in front of him that exuded divine power, his eyes flickered and were filled with worry.

"Is this stone really that magical?" Xia Xiaodong asked in a low voice.

"Indeed, it exists. I heard it's amazing. The commander has verified it too. It's good that way, so we don't get suspected." The soldier said truthfully.

Xia Xiaodong didn't say anything, just watched the distance getting closer and closer.

Finally, it was his turn.

There were only Song Yuzhou and the army commander in the room.

The sacred stone is placed in a wooden box, and because it is sealed, people outside cannot see it.

"Put your hand on the stone and shout that sentence, then a miracle will appear on your palm." Song Yuzhou reminded.

Looking at the mysterious box, Xia Xiaodong reached in.

"Is it put away?"

"Alright." Xia Xiaodong raised his head and shouted loudly, "I'm not the one who leaked the information."

After the shout died down and he waited for a few seconds, Song Yuzhou gestured for him to show his palm.

Xia Xiaodong showed his palm, and Song Yuzhou and the commander looked at each other.

"Okay."

Xia Xiaodong breathed a sigh of relief and walked out.

Ten minutes later, everyone gathered in the conference room.

"Commander, is that person there?" Yue Zhen asked hurriedly.

The commander said seriously, "Yes."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in surprise, guessing who that person was.

At this time, Song Yuzhou walked up to Xia Xiaodong and said in a calm voice, "Captain Xia, why do you do this?"

"What?" Xia Xiaodong was stunned and said quickly, "Dean Song, I'm innocent."

Song Yuzhou grabbed his hand: "How do you explain this?"

Seeing this, Xia Xiaodong immediately said, "Isn't my hand normal?"

When they saw Xia Xiaodong's hand, everyone was surprised and then showed their own hands.

Everyone's hands were covered in ink, except Xia Xiaodong's, which were still clean.

"This..." Xia Xiaodong's face turned pale.

"There's ink on the sacred stone. If you put your hand on it, it will get all covered in ink. And your hands are so clean, it means you don't dare to put your hands on the sacred stone at all."

Song Yuzhou's words made Xia Xiaodong look as pale as death.

"Xia Xiaodong, are you still going to tell the truth?" the commander shouted sternly.

Hearing this, Xia Xiaodong lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Commander. I did it."

"Xia Xiaodong, you are confused. Why do you do this?" Yue Zhen was very disappointed.

At this point, Xia Xiaodong did not hide anything and said guiltily, "I'm sorry, Captain Yue, I betrayed your trust. I'm sorry, Captain Song, I wanted to teach you a lesson, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this. I really regret it..."

It turned out that Xia Xiaodong was dissatisfied because Song Yuzhou refused to make concessions on Aunt Xia's matter before.

Later, after Aunt Xia came back, she fell ill and was bedridden for a long time. The filial Xia Xiaodong blamed Song Yuzhou even more.

After it was decided that Song Yuzhou would carry out the decapitation operation that day, someone secretly told him that he might as well take this opportunity to teach Song Yuzhou a lesson.

Xia Xiaodong thought it was feasible. Considering that the mission was already dangerous, he wanted to add some obstacles to it.

Because he participated in the meeting at that time, Xia Xiaodong revealed some things to that person.

But he didn't expect that this would lead to the Condor Team being ambushed.

Therefore, after learning about this, Xia Xiaodong has been regretting and blaming himself, but he is also worried that others will find out.

"I'm really sorry, Captain Song. I didn't expect this to happen." Xia Xiaodong apologized tearfully.

Song Yuzhou looked at him: "Who was the one who encouraged you to take revenge on me?"
