This was Shen Bai's line of thinking.
Since the other party was so concerned with a Surveyor, it had to be related to the mine.
As long as Fan Kai was still useful, his life wouldn't be in danger, and the mine had to be the final destination.
Since there were no clues, he might as well go check the mine.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Li clapped his hands forcefully. "A brilliant insight, Lord Shen! Why didn't I think of that? How foolish of me."
Shen Bai smiled. "It's just a case of being too close to the problem to see clearly."
Often, even very smart people can miss the solution to a seemingly simple problem.
It all came down to the old saying: 'The person involved is confused, but a bystander sees clearly.'
Dongfang Li was the Prefect and plenty intelligent, but being in the thick of it, he couldn't necessarily see things more clearly than an outsider like Shen Bai.
That was precisely why Shen Bai had thought of it so easily.
