As the only two people kept in the dark who genuinely acted out their roles, Xu Yi and Hoder were thoroughly depressed when they woke up and heard that Liang He and Huo An had teamed up to catch the mole. Why didn't they include them in something as fun as catching a mole?! It was too much!
"Only by mixing truth with lies can you earn someone's trust. Doctor Xu, you and Hoder were crucial to this play," Liang He said, expertly soothing their dissatisfaction. With just those simple words, they felt much better.
"That's true. Since we needed Dass to lower his guard, we couldn't make it look too fake," Xu Yi agreed. He had only just learned that the mole was the normally amicable deputy director of the control room. You really couldn't judge a book by its cover.
"So, Dass really died at Cedriel's hands?" Compared to Dass being the mole, Hoder was far more interested in how the man had actually died.
"In his mouth, to be exact."
