Chapter 658 - Secret of the Moguls’ Group
Chapter 658: Secret of the Moguls’ Group
In the quiet private room, Cen Bai froze when he heard Xue Xi’s words.
He suddenly looked up at Xue Xi and asked in surprise, “What special power? Sister Xi, what are you talking about? Why don’t I understand?”
Seeing his reaction, Xue Xi sighed. “Brother Silin once told me about a psychological tell.”
Cen Bai put down his mask and casually asked, “What?”
“If a person was lying, they would subconsciously say a few more words to try to make the other party believe them. Just now, if one really did not know what a special ability is, what would a normal person have said? Yet you continuously asked three questions and even used the last sentence to explain that you did not understand. This means that you are guilty.”
Xue Xi’s voice was very calm and apathetic, but it carried an irrefutable force.
Cen Bai was stunned.
Xue Xi’s tone became even more resolute as though she was saying a statement. “You are an esper.”
Cen Bai: “...”
He purposely raised an eyebrow and widened his eyes in shock.
However, Xue Xi was staring fixedly at him. Her large eyes did not even blink as they stared straight at Cen Bai.
Cen Bai frowned and sighed heavily. “That’s right. With that person in the group, how can you not know? Sister Xi, you’re right.”
Xue Xi asked, “What exactly does the Moguls’ Group do?”
Cen Bai held his chin and tilted his head. He explained in a charming tone, “Since you know about the existence of espers, you must know about the existence of the special department, right?”
Xue Xi nodded.
Cen Bai opened his mouth and explained, “People with special powers tend to be recruited by the country and enter the special department. However, the special department enforces strict discipline and has military-style management. Actually, many people... like me, are not used to this kind of lifestyle.
“Hence, we usually hide outside. There are also some people who have not been discovered at all. However, celebrities like us have a certain level of social influence, and the special department doesn’t dare to make a move easily. Hence, everyone consciously formed a circle to keep the balance, and that is the Moguls Group.”
Cen Bai said, “The group manager keeps the moguls under control. You should also know that he’s the boss of the special department.”
When Cen Bai said this, he deliberately sized up Xue Xi. Seeing that she looked normal, it was obvious that she did not know that General Xiang was the boss.
It would be better for him to avoid trouble.
Cen Bai’s eyes flickered for a moment before he continued, “It’s equivalent to us voluntarily staying under controlled surveillance. After all, we can still accept surveillance methods that prohibit disturbances. This method is actually not recommended, but if we are monitored to make sure we don’t cause a disturbance, they can turn a blind eye to us. We can also continue living as ordinary people.”
After saying that, he said, “Hence, there is no information about us being espers in the special department. This is considered an SS-level secret.”
It was a secret.
Xue Xi suddenly thought of the cause of Little Flame’s parents’ death. It could not be found in the special department and was also an SSS-level confidential document.
So, were these people related?
Her mind was in a mess and she continued asking, “Then what exactly is your special power?”
Special power...
Cen Bai coughed and sighed. “My special power is actually useless, so I haven’t been discovered. Or rather, even if I was discovered, no one would care.”
Xue Xi: “...Why?”
Cen Bai shrugged. “My special power can’t cause any harm.”
He sighed and said helplessly, “Sister Xi, do you think I’m good-looking?”
Xue Xi: “...Yes.”
Cen Bai chuckled when he heard her awkward reply. He lowered his eyes. “Yes, this face is really perfect. It’s so perfect that no one doesn’t like it. Sister Xi, don’t you think that this is a strange phenomenon?”
Strange phenomenon?
Xue Xi never chased after celebrities, but to be honest, Cen Bai was really good-looking. He was as charming as a vixen.
If it were not for Xiang Huai’s presence, she might have become immersed in Cen Bai’s beauty.
So far, Cen Bai had never had a single anti-fan.
Cen Bai was too popular. He was famous throughout the country and was now a well-known superstar in China.
However, there would always be some keyboard warriors online who would hate you simply because you’d become popular.
It was said that some people who had only heard of his name had boycotted him because he was too popular. However, anyone who had seen his photo or seen his video would be subdued by him.
Cen Bai’s manager was also very puzzled. Cen Bai was very hard to control and kept speaking without thinking about his words. He had offended his fans in the past, but his fans seemed to have fallen into a trance.
Xue Xi paused at this thought.
Could it be that his special ability was...
