"Almost everyone lay down to sleep because the operation was physically demanding and it was almost midnight. However, when they woke up, half of the munitions disappeared and the ones tasked with guarding them were unconscious. The most surprising thing was that none of them heard anything. Post investigation showed that their water was drugged with sleeping pills."
"But why should the suspicions fall on Munan, sounds like they're all equally guilty."
Mubai shook his head. "That's not how the military works. Munan is the operation leader so he has to shoulder all the blame."
"In other words, he has to take the fall if the munitions are not discovered."
"Yes."
"What is the consequence of that?" Xinghe asked again.
Mubai explained with a low growl, "Probably not that bad, at most a suspension from duty. Of course, I don't think the culprit will stop at that."
"They aim to crush the Xi family in one fell swoop?" Xinghe questioned.
