No matter how they searched, they found nothing, and ultimately the matter ended unresolved. When Long Jiu returned, Long Changsheng and Elder Su were sitting in the living room waiting. When Long Jiu came back, he informed Elder Su of the news, and upon hearing it, Elder Su immediately summoned all the great elders. Even though Long Ang had left, he still held a certain status in their hearts. Even though Long Jiu was now the Group Leader, in their hearts, they had never truly acknowledged him. Now, Long Ang had shortly after leaving the Dragon Group joined the Ancient Martial Arts. What did this signify? It signified that Long Ang had long harbored disloyalty. Finally, they had caught something on Long Ang. Now, let’s see what those elders favoring Long Ang would say. Elder Su was pleasantly fantasizing in his heart, and before long, Long Jiu returned. "Great Elder, Elder Su, all elders, why are you all here?" Long Jiu feigned ignorance and asked with curiosity. Elder Su lightly coughed and took the lead to speak, "Didn’t you say you had some important evidence? Did Long Ang really join the Ancient Martial Arts? " Long Jiu sighed regretfully; he took out his phone, intending to show them the photos he had taken. But before he handed over the phone, Long Changsheng’s powerful voice resonated, "First, let’s address whether that Binding Rope is from our Dragon Group." Long Jiu was taken aback, feeling a surge of displeasure in his heart, but in front of the Great Elder, he had no choice. After a moment of thought, he put his phone away and stood there silently. He really didn’t know whether that Binding Rope was from the Dragon Group, as by the time he arrived, the police had already left. At this point, Long Yi stepped forward and said, "Reporting to the Great Elder, it indeed belongs to our Dragon Group." Long Changsheng’s eyes flashed with a cold glint, "Are you sure?" Long Yi nodded, "The Group Leader... it was confirmed by Long Ang, he examined the Binding Rope." "Big brother, this matter is no small affair. Our Dragon Group’s Binding Rope appeared in the territory of the Ancient Martial Arts, and even killed five of their people at once. It seems it must be the work of a master from within our Dragon Group." "If we think about it, the scope of suspects is significantly reduced, isn’t it?" "Not necessarily." Su Chang rubbed his hands on his knees, smiling, "Perhaps someone is trying to frame our Dragon Group? Who’s to say it’s not a ploy by the Ancient Martial Arts? They are cunning and deceitful, haven’t they staged such things before?" After Elder Su spoke, the others fell silent too; nobody was the first to speak. "Summon everyone here!" Suddenly, Long Changsheng ordered. Elder Su was taken aback, his eyes showed a brief moment of panic but quickly returned to normal. He snickered, "Big brother, about Long Ang..." Long Ang left the Dragon Group and then joined the Ancient Martial Arts; shouldn’t this be pursued? Official source is n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net But Long Changsheng truly didn’t intend to pursue this matter. He looked at him coldly, "Long Ang is no longer a member of our Dragon Group; his whereabouts are unrelated to us." "But this..." Elder Su wanted to say more, but seeing Long Changsheng’s intent was not to continue the discussion. Elder Su felt deeply unsatisfied; just when he found evidence to smear Long Ang, Long Changsheng still favored Long Ang, continually protecting him even now! This resentment was lodged in his heart, unable to rise or fall! But thinking again, his current worry should not be about pursuing Long Ang but rather the issue with the Binding Rope. Fortunately, Long Shiyi was already dead and could not testify. Even if they discovered Long Shiyi’s involvement, the trail would end with his death. So there was truly no need to worry. Long Jiu was unaware of the hesitation that already flickered in Elder Su’s heart. He turned and immediately went to give instructions. Soon, all the members of the Dragon Group were gathered, and Long Changsheng stood before them, scanning his eyes sharply, "I believe you all are aware of the incident this morning." "..." Ever since the morning, there had been endless discussions; this matter was no trivial affair, and everyone took it seriously. "The Binding Rope is unique to our Dragon Group, something outsiders cannot mimic; this means there’s already a traitor among us!" Long Changsheng’s words echoed powerfully throughout the courtyard. Suddenly someone yelled, "Hey? Where’s Long Shiyi? Why hasn’t he come?" Long Changsheng frowned, "Who is speaking?" "Reporting, Great Elder, Long Shiyi’s whereabouts are unknown; he hasn’t returned yet." Long Changsheng turned to look at the Second Elder, Long Shiyi being the Second Elder’s prized disciple. With his sudden disappearance, the first person Long Changsheng would seek was naturally the Second Elder. The Second Elder also became puzzled, "Go search for him, see where he’s gone." Long Shiyi’s body was found in one of our Dragon Group’s secret bases, only discovered after a long search. "Why would Long Shiyi come here?" "Precisely, this area is our Dragon Group’s restricted zone." "Great Elder, look, there’s a handkerchief here." Someone handed the handkerchief to Long Changsheng, and upon seeing its contents, his eyes became sharply piercing. The tension in his expression seemed on the verge of snapping, "Second Elder, Long Shiyi was your prized disciple; this matter is yours to handle." The Second Elder was puzzled, looking at Long Changsheng in confusion, "Big brother, what do you mean?" Long Changsheng handed the handkerchief to the Second Elder, "See for yourself." The Second Elder took it confusedly; when he saw the contents, he was also shocked. "This... the traitor within our Dragon Group is Long Shiyi?" The Second Elder couldn’t believe it. Long Shiyi was a very obedient and docile child, timid and cowardly. Among so many in the Dragon Group, the one least likely to betray was Long Shiyi, and yet... The Second Elder found it hard to accept this reality. Elder Su clicked his tongue in disdain, stepping forward, "Second Elder, you’ve groomed a fine disciple, capable of such treachery, colluding with the Ancient Martial Artists." A disciple colluding with outsiders puts the elder, the Second Elder, in an inescapable responsibility. Though unwilling to admit it, the fact lay bare before him, forcing belief. "Second Elder, you owe us all an explanation." Elder Su pressed aggressively. Among them, the Second Elder was the least supportive of Long Jiu becoming Group Leader and was the one most favoring Dong Ang. He constantly opposed him, so Elder Su was determined to remove the Second Elder. Because he would impede his future developments.
