Chapter 317 The Traitor
"Am I good? I'm very good."
Qiao Lan struggled to get up from the hospital bed, got down to the ground, walked back and forth twice while holding the edge of the bed, and finally stood up straight.
She grinned at Wei Jianshe.
More than ten days have passed since the battle.
The old man came to visit her for the first time and asked her how she was feeling.
The nurse next to her hurriedly advised Qiao Lan to lie back down, "Miss Qiao, you have several serious wounds that haven't healed yet. If you move around, they'll burst open!"
Qiao Lan refused to listen. Due to her weakness and severe injuries, she could not stand steadily and kept shaking, but she stood there stubbornly, staring at old man Wei Jianshe.
"I heard that the traitor will be executed today? Commander, I request to be present to witness the execution."
"Your injury..." Wei Jianshe was burned by Qiao Lan's gaze of suppressed anger and did not say the words of refusal.
"My injuries are fine, I won't die. But Ye Qi is dead, and I want to see with my own eyes how the traitor who killed him died!"
"……good."
Wei Jianshe was silent for a few seconds and nodded in agreement.
As for Qiao Lan and the others who played a decisive role in the battle, the old man hadn't come to the ward to visit them until today. It wasn't that he didn't care about them, but because there were so many complicated things to deal with after the war that he couldn't spare any time. The most important of these was catching the traitor.
After Xiang Yunqiao's modified body was captured and brought back to the capital, he was imprisoned in a top-level prison in a state of death. Who released him?
Qiao Lan had finally snatched the energy stone from Aunt He and placed it in a highly confidential place. Who took it out and gave it to Xiang Yunqiao?
Who guided him to meet up with his subordinates, and why did he almost always choose routes with weak security during his escape from the capital, which basically meant he had an unobstructed route?
…
These are just the questions in this battle.
In the past, at many critical moments and key decision-making points, who was manipulating the situation in a direction that was not conducive to social reconstruction?
Is the short-term and massive expansion of the Temple's power in the entire region, including the eastern battlefield, really just because of the powerful forces of Saint Yes?
…
"Grandpa Wei, when did you discover there was a mole?"
Qiao Lan asked on the way to watch the execution.
Wei Jianshe was silent for a moment before he said gravely, "We discovered it a long time ago, but we just haven't locked onto that person yet."
After the disaster, everything was in ruins, and the work was complicated. From top to bottom, everyone was distracted. Knowing that there were people with bad intentions in the system, it was very difficult to thoroughly investigate and arrest them.
The investigation was progressing bit by bit, and it was recently that various clues and evidence finally converged to one point.
The traitor is not just one person, but a hidden group. Most importantly, there is a "big traitor" at the top of the official decision-making hierarchy.
It was not until the energy stone was stolen and Xiang Yunqiao escaped that Wei Jianshe identified the person from among the top five leaders.
He secretly deployed defenses and immediately captured and controlled the man after the war. Over the past few days, he gradually dismantled the entire traitor organization, captured more than a hundred people from top to bottom, and all of them have been executed.
Today is the day when the "big ghost" will be executed.
"You're here."
In the top prison, Jiang Tian, one of the five chiefs, who had energy handcuffs on his hands and feet, looked calmly at Wei Jianshe who came in and Qiao Lan behind him.
"You're here too? I missed you so much."
He suddenly smiled at Qiao Lan.
That familiar look startled Qiao Lan.
