Chapter 162: Prison Part (Memory) 51: Doing the Bureau
Chapter 162
Si Chengyou did not answer after listening to Shen Yue's words, but looked at Danni La and asked Shen Yue, "What do you think of Danni La revealing her cards to L.A earlier?"
Shen Yue also asked back, "What kind of thoughts?"
Hearing Shen Yue had already learned to play Tai Chi, Si Chengyou chuckled lightly, "You learned it quickly."
"Listening to you every day, I just picked it up."
"Are my words that convoluted?" Si Chengyou wondered.
"Yes. Your words are always hard to understand." To be more precise, it was impossible to discern which were true intentions, which were false, and which were just plain nonsense that would only lead to the next sentence.
Si Chengyou did not intend to beat around the bush with Shen Yue any longer and asked directly, "When did you guess that Danni La was the mole?"
Shen Yue took a glance at No. 14, who was still desperately attacking Danni La with his eyes, and strangely felt that he was somewhat cute.
Oh, don't get me wrong, the one she found cute was Danni La.
"When No. 14 and I were in the lobby just now, the timing of when you two appeared was off. Based on Danni La's normal walking speed, she was 3 minutes late, while you were 4 minutes late, so I figured you must have talked about something."
"Is that all?"
Shen Yue thought about whether there were any other anomalies at that time, but she found that apart from the late appearance time she had already analyzed, if she had to grasp at straws, it would be...
"And intuition."
Si Chengyou was not surprised to hear this answer. Many people do have such talents. They do not have strong logical reasoning abilities, but they can avoid some dangers through their own intuition.
"What do you think of why Danni La betrayed you."
When Shen Yue heard Si Chengyou's words, she suddenly looked at him with the kind of eyes that looked at scumbags, "Wasn't Danni La arranged by you?"
"Since you already know that I arranged Danni La, don't you have anything you want to ask me now?" Si Chengyou was still calm, without any panic at being caught doing something bad.
Shen Yue shook her head, "I can't understand you right now. I'll try again after I've learned other things from L.A.."
In short, from Shen Yue's words, Si Chengyou heard one piece of information: I can't analyze your behavior because I can't analyze it, so bye!
It was very reasonable, yet somewhat unreasonable.
Si Chengyou looked at the restaurant, which was imminent, and suddenly stopped.
When he stopped, Shen Yue also halted and looked at him.
But No. 14 would not stop it. He would just grasp every minute and second to apply eye drops for Shen Yue.
Sure enough, No. 14 quietly moved to Shen Yue's side, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "Si Chengyou is unreliable. Please be extra careful."
Si Chengyou looked at the muttering No. 14 and said, "I heard it."
No. 14 glared at Si Chengyou, "I did that on purpose to let you hear it."
Shen Yue took a glance at the two and thought, childish.
Then she continued to ponder how to deal with Danni La.
She was actually very interested in what Danni La was good at. She had an intuition that she would need it in the future, which was why she wanted to keep Danni La by her side.
But now she had no control over Danni La. What if Danni La betrayed again?
Seeing Si Chengyou completely ignoring her, Danni La felt utterly powerless from the bottom of her heart. She had miscalculated. Si Chengyou was not at all like the rumors.
Of course, if he was really a good-natured person, how could he allow Fifth Floor to stand firm in the prison?
Danni La had no more choices. She was unwilling to become the plaything of Eighth Floor. But by revealing the cards to L.A. earlier, she was equivalent to standing on the side of Eighth Floor already. Without Si Chengyou blocking ahead, no one would be able to help her anymore.
Danni La could only take a desperate gamble. She looked at Si Chengyou and said, "Aren't you afraid of this being spread out after you tore up your promise with me today?"
It was then that Si Chengyou finally answered Danni La's question, "If this spreads out, everyone will only think that you were trying to cling onto me and got rejected, so you bit back. This is Flightless Bird. Things are different from the outside. You could elicit sympathy by looking pitiful outside, but here, both public opinion and the human mind stand on the side of the strong."
After saying that, Si Chengyou added meaningfully, "Being associated with two powers at the same time is not a good thing."
When Shen Yue heard this, she had another thought again and muttered to herself, "I'm already associated with three powers."
No. 14 reminded at the side, "It's four."
Shen Yue looked at No. 14 meaningfully upon hearing this.
No. 14 continued, "You came out of First Floor, so you were originally also related to First Floor."
Shen Yue nodded, "That makes sense."
The conversation was clearly very serious, yet sounded so ordinary and mundane coming from No. 14 and Shen Yue's mouths.
Si Chengyou was apparently already used to these two. Only Danni La didn't know what to do for a moment.
At this moment, Shen Yue suddenly asked Si Chengyou, "You don't seem to have a reason against Danni La. Why did you break your promise?"
