Hearing Tang Yi's words, Bai Zhi's expression became fixed as she hurriedly stepped in to eavesdrop.
"Tian Ji?" She paused for a moment and said, "I see!"
"That Mr. Oliver is the second-in-command's spy for Wings of the Demon."
"Last night, you didn't plan to chase him, which was actually letting him go so you could send a message to the second-in-command."
"And at the same time, you sent Tian Ji to secretly follow him, right?"
Tang Yi nodded, "Yes, at first we planned to capture this Oliver and interrogate him."
"But by doing so, we would have been put in a reactive position, especially since it's very likely that it would alarm the second-in-command of Wings of the Demon!"
"I let him go for this purpose."
"Only under such circumstances we could turn reactivity into proactivity and then follow the vine to get the melon, capturing them all in one fell swoop."
Bai Yun nodded in agreement, "I see, you let all of us rest for a day, not just as a welfare benefit for us."
