When Chen Yang pointed his sword at Guo Zifeng, everyone fell silent.
After a dozen seconds, Bai Jing said, "Chen Yang, have you misunderstood something?"
Chen Yang shook his head, "I didn't misunderstand anything. When I said sorry, it wasn't because I doubted Brother Guo. I was just apologizing to Brother Guo for scaring him."
After saying that, he turned around, looked at Tu Li, and said, "Right, Tu Li, your emotions are a bit abnormal. When I pointed at Brother Guo, everyone was tense, but you were relaxed. When I said I didn't doubt Brother Guo, everyone was relaxed, but you were tense."
Chen Yang looked at Tu Li and said, inserting his sword into the wooden scabbard made by the old carpenter, looking at him quite naturally.
"I was a little nervous just now, don't misunderstand," Tu Li quickly said, then awkwardly scratched his head.
His expression and demeanor seemed genuine, but Chen Yang remained unmoved.
The clues are well hidden; no wonder he's a detective by training. He can even easily control his own emotional fluctuations, knows how to self-hypnotize, and shift his focus.
In fact, Chen Yang had already noticed something was amiss a few days ago. He was fairly certain it was Tu Li, and this was just a reconfirmation.
After his soul was cleansed, his perception of emotions became much stronger.
He didn't actually need to go to the capital to find Huang Tong. This trip was just for all the people of the realm to see, and his actions just now were for the same reason.
"Chen Yang, I really didn't. I was just startled and lost control of my emotions. You've misunderstood," Tu Li said, sounding nervous and aggrieved.
Chen Yang nodded and said, "I might have misunderstood, so you need to prove it. Brother Yun, you should have a way to get into the Tu Li family, right? Please make a trip there. Xiao Qi will also come along and check the computer files. If I misunderstood you, I sincerely apologize and will give you a subsidy of ten million and three Realm Citizen slots. During this period, you are not allowed to leave the Micro Realm, and you should not use the delay time to leave and then re-enter. Leaving will not escape my Natural Intuition."
After Chen Yang finished speaking, he looked at the other people in the community and asked, "Besides Tu Li, does anyone else have any objections?"
"Yes!" Linglong raised her hand.
Xiao Qi quickly tugged at Linglong, Chen Yang looked at Linglong in surprise, and even Tu Li was astonished.
“I also want to be checked; everyone is a suspect, after all. If you misunderstood me, I'll give you a discount: five million and a spot in Microworld will do.”
"If that's the case, then I also have my objections," Ye Wu said.
"Alright, stop messing around." Chen Yang said, both amused and exasperated.
"Tu Li, is there anything you want to say?" Chen Yang looked at Tu Li, and was surprised. He didn't expect that Tu Li's emotions were still relatively stable, only a little flustered.
"No, I was just thinking about how to use the ten million and the three micro-realm entry slots." Tu Li laughed, "Chen Yang, you've really lost out this time."
"I also hope that I'm the one who loses out, so that I won't have to do things I don't want to do," Chen Yang said.
Even though Tu Li appeared calm, there were still some unusual emotions lurking beneath the surface. What he hadn't anticipated was that Chen Yang, after undergoing a soul baptism, was no longer the same person he once was. He was now able to perceive even more subtle emotions.
This isn't mind reading; it can't know what people are thinking. It's just the fluctuation of the soul caused by changes in emotions. He can sense and judge these fluctuations. Now that his soul is stronger, his perception is naturally stronger as well.
Chen Yang knew that Tu Li, as a private investigator, and a truly intelligent one at that, would never make the same basic mistake as Huang Tong, and would not store information that could expose him on his frequently used electronic devices.
However, he may have underestimated Xiao Qi's abilities.
"Tu Li, as a detective, you should know that modern mobile phones have location tracking functions, right? Do you know that a hacker at Xiao Qi's level could use your usual mobile phone to track your movements?"
Chen Yang said to Tu Li, while at the same time sensing a strange emotion in Tu Li.
“If you haven’t done anything, of course we can’t analyze anything. However, if you have your own secret place and happen to have a mobile phone connected to the internet there, then Xiao Qi will be able to find out.”
"Have you made any plans? After all, the micro-world's settings are quite comprehensive, and I'm stronger than you. Your only advantage is that you're in the shadows, so you can plan slowly. If you had a genius mind like Chen Liu, you could just write down your plans. If you don't... you'll probably find a place to go."
As Chen Yang slowly recounted his story, he finally sensed Tu Li's emotional fluctuations.
Panic, fear, thinking, wanting to calm down.
“That’s right. Judging from your mood, I probably won’t have to pay that ten million and the three Micro Realm slots,” Chen Yang said with a smile.
"Chen Yang, I really underestimated you. You forced me into this."
Tu Li no longer concealed himself, and his expression instantly turned ferocious.
"You think I didn't prepare?" Tu Li straightened up and faced Chen Yang.
"Tu Li, is it really you?"
Zhang Jian, who was standing to the side, was shocked. He had the best relationship with Tu Li in the camp, and the two often worked together. So he really didn't expect that Tu Li would do such a thing.
Tuli glanced at him but did not answer.
"Why did you do this?" Zhang Jian pressed.
“Zhang Jian, stop asking, it’s pointless. Is there any reason for this? I’d be happy to be the realm lord even if you asked me to, but he used methods he shouldn’t have, and couldn’t suppress his greed,” Guo Zifeng said with a wry smile.
He did have some ideas, but as he grew to like the Microworld more and more, he gradually let go of those ideas and preferred to enjoy his current lifestyle in the Microworld.
He also knew why Chen Yang wanted to provoke Tu Li by using him, because the series of things he had done to tease Cao Li had made Chen Yang unhappy, so he was the person Tu Li could be most grateful for.
“Zhang Jian, Guo Zifeng is right. I don’t believe I’m the only one in the entire Micro Realm who’s tempted by the position and power of the Realm Lord,” Tu Li said with a sneer.
"They just don't have the guts. But I do."
Tu Li then turned to Chen Yang and said, "Chen Yang, you'd better take the initiative to reveal the secrets of the Micro Realm and obediently hand over your identity as the Realm Lord to me, otherwise, you won't be the only one to die."
“I really can’t transfer the power of a realm lord. Even if I could, why should I give it to you? You can’t just plant a time bomb, can you?” Chen Yang laughed.
Tu Li's expression froze instantly, and in that instant, panic and confusion finally appeared on his face.
He tried his best to control his emotions and to appear in front of Chen Yang as little as possible. As a detective, he had studied self-hypnosis and could easily control his emotions.
He lived in constant fear, spending several months planting four bombs. He controlled them daily via mobile phone; if he didn't send a command for more than 24 hours, the bombs would explode.
He didn't know if Chen Yang was afraid of bombs, but he was sure Li Su'er and the others were, and that was his confidence.
But how did Chen Yang find out?
