Andrew's gaze stopped in front of the desk. His eyes flickered as he thought for a while. Then, he nodded and said, "I understand. Tell him that I still have some things to take care of. Ask him to wait for me in the living room for a while."
"Yes, Master." The servant immediately left respectfully.
Andrew was seventy to eighty percent sure about the guess in his heart. It was just that he didn't have any conclusive evidence.
During this period of time, because he had lost most of his actual power and was being monitored in disguise, he simply stayed in his own house and collected the records of everyone in the Truth Society.
Because he didn't trust the people around him, he even passed this record around to a few people. In the end, he pieced it together and sorted it out bit by bit.
After gaining an understanding of everyone's behavior during this entire period of time, a relatively clear network gradually emerged, vaguely revealing the clues of everything.
At this moment, he actually had a rough list of traitors in his mind. However, if he wanted to investigate further, it was definitely impossible in his current state of being monitored.
He even suspected that he had once been affected by the interference of his thoughts.
Otherwise, during the battle against the God of Rain, he definitely wouldn't have arbitrarily and hastily attacked Kandra's shadow that had descended into reality.
In the end, it caused the Truth Society to suffer huge losses and completely offended the owner of the bookstore.
And Andrew's subsequent series of actions … I'll remember it in a second.
If he had to use a word to describe his state of mind at that time, the most suitable word would be the word "crazy."
Now, when Andrew stayed at home alone to think, he would always feel that his thoughts at that time and in reality were disconnected.
Although he had the support of his own identity and background, he also walked step by step to the position of Vice President with his own strength. For so many years, he hadn't made a big mistake, but at that moment, he suddenly became confused.
Was this reasonable?
But at that time, he didn't feel that anything was wrong.
"There must be someone who directly or indirectly came into contact with me during that period of time and influenced me."
"And this person is also the one who caused the Truth Society's monitoring of Nuo Jin to fail again and again, and also the mastermind behind the scenes that prevented me from sending out the order to intercept."
"There must be someone who meets the conditions of being in contact with the people related to these three matters, and has sufficient alibis to allow him to escape the suspicion of being a mole, but I haven't found this person yet …"
Andrew could not help but touch his receding hairline. He felt that his charm, which had not diminished despite his age, had been reduced because of this. He sighed. "If only we could use the ether monitor, things would be even more convenient."
However, during that period of time, even the ether monitor's data had been tampered with. Therefore, the machine was completely unreliable.
"Zerom didn't have much contact with me before. Why did he suddenly come to me?"
"Is it because of Marguerite? Or is it something else … Speaking of which, this person is also suspicious … "
At this moment, it was as if a bolt of lightning had flashed across Andrew's mind, splitting apart all the fog.
In the map that had been imprinted in Zhang Tie's mind, the line that belonged to Zerom suddenly jumped out of the paper and stood out.
Andrew was stunned on the spot. His pupils contracted, and the quill in his hand involuntarily waved around. He did not even notice that the quill was smeared on the paper.
"This … Here, he came into contact with the foreman of the ether monitoring room that day, but he only brushed past him. And here, he once stood next to the guy who delivered the order for a period of time. As for me … He once delivered beauty medicine to my mistress, Suzanna!"
"Pa!"
Andrew supported himself with both hands on the table. His expression was grave as he stared fixedly at the messy map. He gritted his teeth. "Of course, it wasn't him, but a courier from Sandra Pharmaceuticals. However, as a member of the Sandra family, it's entirely possible that Zerom secretly substituted himself!"
There was something wrong with those medicines!
He had probably used the medicines to interfere with the others and complete his control of everything that had happened before!
Zerom was the mole!
"Then, what does he want to do by visiting me this time?"
Andrew looked at the door of the study. It was as if he could see Zerom waiting outside through the door.
He could vaguely imagine how Zerom had regarded himself as the hunter and Andrew as the prey before coming here.
At this moment, Zerom had been so complacent that he had planned to play his boss's boss in the palm of his hand.
However, it was different now.
The roles of the hunter and the prey had been reversed.
However, Andrew did not plan to expose Zerom directly and bring him to justice. Doing so would only alert the enemy. Unfortunately, he still had not obtained any substantial evidence.
Behind Zerom, there must be a more powerful person behind the scenes.
What Andrew needed to do now was to beat Zerom at his own game.
He knew the logic of the bookstore owner's behavior. As long as he became a customer of the bookstore, he would be able to gain the friendliness of the bookstore owner …
That's right, he needed to seek the help of the bookstore owner!

After waiting in the living room for 20 minutes, Zerom finally saw Andrew who had arrived late.
Andrew reached out his hand and said with a smile, "Sorry, I have to deal with something. Sorry to keep you waiting."
"It's okay, it's okay. It's my honor to wait for you in your living room."
Zerom stood up and shook hands with Andrew. At the same time, he did not hesitate to flatter Andrew.
He took the opportunity to size up Andrew who had not appeared in public for a long time.
After suffering setbacks during this period of time, the vice president of the Truth Society no longer looked as arrogant and high-spirited as before. He gave people the impression that he had aged at least 10 years — although this impression was actually correct.
However … this was good.
In this way, it would be easier for others to believe that Andrew was the one who could not accept his failure and sought his own death.
Zerom revealed a respectful smile and expressed his admiration for vice president Andrew. Then, he expressed his indignation at the vice president's misfortune.
In fact, he secretly released the potion.
Their hands were still holding each other's.
"It's settled."
Zerom thought so.
He kept adding hints in the conversation, just like the whispers of a demon.
"Why don't you go and prove yourself? The owner of the bookstore doesn't have much strength. Last time, he summoned Kandra's heroic spirit. After that, he didn't make a move again except for fighting with Waning Moon. In fact, no one has ever seen him personally make a move. This means that he's just bluffing! "
"His existence is an unstable factor. He is a threat to Nuo Jin and the Truth Society. The bookstore should be eradicated!"
"You should shine on the stage of the Truth Society, instead of being misunderstood and neglected. As long as you can kill the evil bookstore owner, you will be able to regain everything …"
Andrew covered his eyes and muttered to himself, "You are right, I should go to the bookstore."
