The Big Picture Is More Important

Hearing that something was wrong with Chen Tianqi, Lin Ran’s expression changed because he felt the same way.

Before Xuan Wushang escaped from the dungeon of the Iron City, the Xuan Wushang Lin Ran saw was disguised by Chen Tianqi.

Apart from that malicious expression, Chen Tianqi rarely showed much expression. For example, every time he spoke, his lips did not move much, but his voice could be heard clearly.

However, Chen Tianqi, who he saw in the magistrate’s office this morning, did not have these habits. Lin Ran felt that something was wrong at that time, but seeing that Sun Ge did not notice it, he thought that he was overthinking.

!!

Now that Sun Ge brought it up, Lin Ran recalled the scene when the three of them discussed this morning. The doubts he had previously ignored became stronger.

However, even so, Lin Ran didn’t show it on his face. He only frowned and asked in confusion, “Is that so? What’s wrong with him?”

Sun Ge glanced at Ye Jin and pulled Lin Ran a few steps to the side. Then, he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “I can’t explain it clearly. I just feel that he’s different from before.”

Lin Ran frowned to show that he didn’t understand. “Different in what way?”

“I can’t put my finger on it. I just have a feeling.”

Sun Ge shook his head “Let me be clear. This is just my speculation. I don’t think that person is Chen Tianqi!”

“He’s not Chen Tianqi?”

Lin Ran raised his eyebrows. If Sun Ge was right, apart from the substitute who was killed by him last night, the only other person who could be Chen Tianqi was the real Xuan Wushang!

At the thought of this, Lin Ran subconsciously gasped. Wasn’t this too melodramatic?

Sun Ge frowned. “Did you think of something?” “I’m not sure—”

Lin Ran shook his head hesitantly, but it was not that he was not sure about his guess, but he was not sure if he should say it out loud.

Whether that person was Chen Tianqi or Xuan Wushang, they were not allies Lin Ran could trust.

Moreover, when the three of them were discussing the cooperation this morning, Lin Ran made a request to kill Liu Hongshan. Therefore, as long as they maintained the current situation, at least he could successfully kill Liu Hongshan. As for the remaining two, they were nothing to be afraid of. historical

On the contrary, if Lin Ran exposed Chen Tianqi and that he really turned out to be the real Xuan Wushang, they would definitely fall out. This would not do Lin Ran’s plan any good.

At the same time, Lin Ran made up his mind. Then, he looked at Sun Ge and asked suspiciously, “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with him… Have you been under too much pressure recently so that you become paranoid?”

Hearing Lin Ran’s words, Sun Ge also looked uncertain. However, he and Chen Tianqi had grown up together since they were young. Even though they had been apart in recent years, they were still brothers. Therefore, he was very sure that something was wrong with “Chen Tianqi” whom he saw this morning.

Seeing that Sun Ge’s expression was determined, Lin Ran took the initiative to say, “If you’re really worried, why don’t you try him?”

Sun Ge was puzzled. “How?”

“Talk to him about something only the two of you know.”

Lin Ran replied casually. He knew that Xuan Wushang could eavesdrop on what Chen Tianqi was experiencing through that piece of Fluttering Cloud. Therefore, even if “Chen Tianqi” was fake, as long as he had a brain, he could fool Sun Ge.

Sun Ge nodded in realization. “It’s indeed a good idea! I’ll ask him about the girl we liked when we were young…”

“No!”

Before Sun Ge could finish, Lin Ran quickly waved his hand. “Change the question. It’s best if it is something that happened in the past few years.”

Sun Ge frowned. “Why is that?”

Lin Ran thought to himself, How could Xuan Wushang know who the girl they liked when they were young was? If Sun Ge asked this, Xuan Wushang would definitely expose himself on the spot! However, he could not really say this out loud.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Ran said seriously, “Although your question is not a bad one, the situation is tense now. How strange is it for you to suddenly mention what happened when you were young?”

“It does seem a little strange…”

Sun Ge nodded in agreement, but there was still hesitation in his eyes. “But this question is the best one. If that person is really Chen Tianqi, he can answer it. If not, he will definitely be exposed!”

“Of course! How can I not understand such simple logic?”

Lin Ran cursed in his heart, but he still put on a sincere expression. “He’s been traveling outside for so many years, so it’s inevitable that his temperament has changed. How do you know that he still treats you as a brother?”

Sun Ge looked hesitant when he heard this. Lin Ran continued, “Think about it carefully. The situation is so delicate now. If he becomes hostile after being suspected by you, what will happen to your plan?”

“You’re right.”

Sun Ge’s expression turned serious as he said in a low voice, “Speaking of which, this is just my guess. Such baseless accusations will do neither of us any good.”

With that, Sun Ge suddenly bowed to Lin Ran. “Thank you for reminding me!”

Hearing this, Lin Ran suddenly felt guilty. Although he had deceived many people, Sun Ge was probably the most gullible one.

Looking at Sun Ge’s sincere expression, Lin Ran almost couldn’t help but apologize. However, in order for all the plans to go smoothly, he pretended to be calm and waved his hand. “It’s nothing. There’s no need to mention it!”

“Although we’re on different sides, I still have to thank you!”

Sun Ge said seriously. Then, he bowed again and pointed behind him. “Is she really fine?”

Lin Ran looked in the direction the other party was pointing and realized that it was Ye Jin, who was eavesdropping not far away. However, the two of them were talking very softly, so she probably didn’t hear anything.

“Her? What can happen to her?”

Lin Ran was caught between laughter and tears as he asked, “You’ve already asked me once. Did something happen?”

Sun Ge nodded and lowered his voice. “After you left, someone broke in. We found blood in one of the rooms—the room where she was waiting for you!”

“Uh…”

Lin Ran was speechless because he knew what the blood was about, but he didn’t know how to explain it to Sun Ge!
