Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#1685 - Chu Hao: I’m very familiar with this place!

It must be said that the Nine-Headed Bug is quite clever, possessing a very sharp and unique grasp of the current situation, and knowing what the forbidden zones and minefields are.

However, the Nine-Headed Bug is ultimately too naive. He doesn't understand that strength and status are what determine everything. No matter how flowery his words may be, he doesn't realize that he simply isn't qualified to sit at the negotiating table.

Traitors can only ever bow their heads and kneel below the stage, listening to the verdict.

Gu Yang stared coldly at the Nine-Headed Bug, and suddenly spoke:

"Nine-Headed Bug, do you know your crime?!"

Nine-Headed Bug: "!!!"

What crime have I committed?

Damn, could it be that the Demon Clan already knows that I came to them with a treasure, intending to divert the trouble and make the Demon Clan my shield?

That's not right, didn't that matter already pass?

Or are they aware that when they sent me to negotiate with the Western Heavens last time, I didn't fight for the Demon Clan's interests because I was afraid of the Western Heavens?

Or perhaps they know that I secretly contacted the Western Heavens, wanting them to offer me as a bargaining chip to betray the Demon Clan?

Even, the Nine-Headed Bug feared whether his malice towards the Shadow Demon had been discovered.

Large beads of sweat were already dripping from the Nine-Headed Bug's forehead. He knew that the Grand Marshal Gu Yang before him possessed extremely high intelligence and had eyes that could see through people's hearts.

In front of Gu Yang, even half a lie would be an insult to the Grand Marshal!

However, the Nine-Headed Bug didn't dare to confess proactively, because he was afraid that saying too much would cut off his escape route.

The Nine-Headed Bug simply knelt on the ground, trembling, and shouted:

"My loyalty to the Demon Clan is as clear as the sun and moon, and as evident as the heavens and earth! Please, Grand Marshal Gu Yang, investigate!"

Taking a gamble? Gambling that Gu Yang would abandon pursuing the matter because of his loyalty?

Gu Yang slammed the table in anger and roared:

"You damned thing, are you still trying to quibble?!"

"Look here, the Shadow Demon brother has been miserably harmed by you!"

Gu Yang's words plunged the Nine-Headed Bug into an ice cellar. He froze in place, unable to speak.

A storm of shock arose in the Nine-Headed Bug's heart. He didn't expect that something had really happened to the Shadow Demon!

He had just been pondering where the Shadow Demon was. Now it seemed that not only had something happened to the Shadow Demon, but it was also inextricably linked to him.

It's over. Gu Yang is putting the blame on my head!

The Nine-Headed Bug didn't care about anything else and immediately knelt down, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault, it's my fault! Whatever Grand Marshal Gu Yang asks me to do, I will definitely arrange it with all my strength!

Please give me a chance, Grand Marshal! My loyalty to the Demon Clan is absolutely unwavering!"

Gu Yang was filled with anger. Good fellow, so you really did betray the Shadow Demon. No wonder the Nine-Headed Bug was willing to hand over that relic; he wanted the Demon Clan to fight against the Western Heavens, and then take the opportunity to sell out the Shadow Demon.

If the Shadow Demon hadn't forcibly escaped back last time, he would have been killed by Chu Hao!

That time, Gu Yang had always felt that someone was secretly selling information about the transaction to the Jail God, but there was no way to verify it.

Now it seemed that the only people who knew about that transaction were the Western Heavens, himself, the Shadow Demon, and finally, the Nine-Headed Bug.

Among these four parties, there must be a mole.

First, the Shadow Demon himself had to be ruled out, since no one would betray themselves.

The Western Heavens and Gu Yang himself had no reason to betray, which left only one person: the Nine-Headed Bug!

Gu Yang was immediately enraged at the time. Did he even need to think about it? It was this damn old brother!
