In the monitor room, Su Jiyai sat calmly, her face expressionless, watching Mu Rongjie from behind the camera.
She tapped a button, and her voice came out through the speaker, disguised by a mechanical filter to sound cold and mysterious.
"I am the base leader," she said flatly.
Mu Rongjie's eyes gleamed.
He leaned forward. "Then… am I speaking to the real leader? Not the puppet? Not Boss Su?"
Su Jiyai's forehead twitched slightly. She narrowed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Her voice came again, still calm but a little colder this time.
"They are the same. I won't correct you again."
Mu Rongjie leaned back, blinking a little.
Wait… same person?
He frowned slightly but didn't say anything.
Then Su Jiyai's voice continued,
"Are you selling t-shirts, mugs, socks, and other goods… using my name?"
Mu Rongjie froze for half a second.
Then he realized—this wasn't the mastermind. This was Boss Su herself.
And the tone in the speaker didn't sound like praise anymore.
