Chapter 281: [281] Are you the insider? _1
Through the scanning system, Tang Feng obtained the basic information about the person.
Then, with the Physiognomy System, he inspected the person’s fortune.
Combining both, he could generally acquire the information he wanted.
In just a few seconds, he had basically grasped the gist of Ge Hui’s recent activities.
This guy had an extremely prosperous love life recently, dating at least three women at the same time.
But to Tang Feng, this information was all garbage.
He couldn’t care less about other people’s private affairs.
After a thorough investigation, he immediately ruled out Ge Hui as a suspect.
He then moved to another employee and did the same.
Everyone present was completely baffled, watching him.
He didn’t ask anyone any questions; he just stood in front of each person for a while. Could that really reveal the mole?
What kind of international joke was this?
Tang Feng didn’t explain to anyone, just quietly collected information.
In about a minute or so, he gathered all the employees’ information.
Then he covertly scanned the live broadcaster.
After cross-referencing the data, he gradually came to a conclusion and a smile appeared on his face.
“Feng, what are you doing?” Zhang Jicheng saw him behaving mysteriously and was filled with curiosity.
“I’m looking for the suspect,” Tang Feng said with an air of certainty.
Zhang Jicheng couldn’t help but feel amused, “Is this how you search for a suspect? Can you really find the person that way?”
“I have already found them,” Tang Feng replied.
His answer took Zhang Jicheng completely by surprise.
“You… found them? Found what?” Zhang Jicheng was completely confused.
“I have found the guy who’s been betraying us from within,” Tang Feng turned around, his sharp gaze sweeping across the faces of the employees.
His look felt as if he could see right through their hearts; the employees all felt as though they were being stripped bare.
“Alright, stop beating around the bush, my fans are getting impatient.”
“Hurry up and give an explanation, how are we going to resolve this?” The broadcaster came over again, asking irritably.
Tang Feng turned to look at him with an amused expression, “Don’t rush, I’m about to give you an explanation.”
After speaking, he suddenly pointed to a male employee, “Liu Ping, come here, I have a few questions for you.”
“Me?” The male employee pointed at himself, a flash of panic in his eyes.
“Yes, you, come here,” Tang Feng gestured to him again.
All eyes on the scene were now fixed on that male employee.
Could this male employee be the mole?
“Mr. Tang, what would you like me to do?” The male employee named Liu Ping approached Tang Feng, slightly bowing, looking somewhat submissive.
Tang Feng’s face bore a sunny smile that matched his age, resembling the boy-next-door.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, it sent shivers down one’s spine, “You’re the mole, aren’t you?”
Liu Ping’s expressions changed three times in one second, starting with shock, followed by terror, and finally, he put on a grieving face, “Mr. Tang, you can’t be joking about this, how could I possibly be the mole?”
Seeing his rich range of expressions, Tang Feng secretly admired him.
The guy truly chose the wrong profession, he thought; had he become an actor, he might have won awards until his arms went weak.
If it hadn’t been for the Scanning System and his Physiognomy Mastery that revealed Liu Ping’s secrets, he might have really been fooled by him.
“Enough, don’t waste everyone’s time. If you dare to do the deed, you should dare to admit it. As long as you confess now, I will let bygones be bygones.”
Tang Feng wasn’t trying to deceive him; he genuinely wanted to let the guy off the hook.
Liu Ping was quite competent in his work and seemed to take his job seriously.
If he came clean now and could clear his and Ya Garden’s name, Tang Feng wouldn’t mind letting him off.
However, Liu Ping posed defiantly with a look of indignation, glaring at him, “Mr. Tang, I’ve always respected you, and looked up to you as my idol. But I never expected your character to be so despicable.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
“It was clear you misjudged an item and accepted a fake, and now you’re framing me to be the scapegoat? I’m really wronged.”
His acting skills were so convincing that tears sprang forth as he started speaking.
By the time he finished his last sentence, he was already sobbing profoundly, as if he had been greatly wronged.
And the audience at the scene were also bewitched by his performance, launching an attack on Tang Feng.
“How can this person be so cruel? Just because he’s the boss, he makes his subordinate take the blame?”
“This person is so wicked. Clearly, it’s his own mistake, yet he frames someone else?”
“Not only is he incompetent, but his character is also despicable.”
“With such a person as a leader, this antique shop can’t be any good, pah…”
The broadcaster also joined in the taunting, saying to his live-stream audience with a laugh, “Indeed it’s quite the spectacle.”
“You all see, this is the chief appraiser of Ya Garden. He made a mistake but is forcing his subordinate to pay for it, tsk tsk tsk, would you still dare to buy antiques from this store?”
In the comment section of his live stream, it was filled mostly with curses against Tang Feng, with all kinds of ugly words.
Zhang Ji and the other employees began to grow anxious in secret.
Instead of settling things down, Tang Feng’s blind meddling only seemed to make matters worse.
If it continued like this, the reputation of Ya Garden might truly be ruined.
Tang Feng paid no attention to the noise around him, just stared intently at Liu Ping, “Since you say you’re innocent, are you willing to answer a few questions for me?”
Liu Ping stiffened his neck, assuming a posture of rather dying than surrendering, “I, Liu Ping, am straight and upright, why should I fear a slanted shadow? Ask whatever you want, I’d rather lose my job than cover for your lies with a guilty conscience.”
“I don’t need you to lie, just need you to answer truthfully,” Tang Feng said.
Tang Feng walked back and forth in front of him with his hands behind his back.
Suddenly, he halted his steps, turned to face Liu Ping, “Were you here at the shop last night?”
