Another person spoke up. "Same here. There was a half-burned letter stuck in my mailbox. I just threw it away."
Zhou Lei nodded. "Those letters were from my backer. I burned them all. Not just the ones sent to me, but also the ones sent to you. I didn't want their influence anywhere near this team."
He looked around the room, his eyes calm.
"And remember, the other two traitors we caught before today… they were from different factions. Those factions have already been destroyed.
I thought my backer understood my position. I thought they knew I would never work for them.
But I see now they still wanted to make sure they could use my name for their gain. That is why they tried to put me in the official lineup like this."
No one spoke. The room was filled with heavy silence.
The logic in Zhou Lei's words was hard to ignore. If he had really been working with them, why would he destroy their letters?
