"Hehe, I was wondering why you have such a high reputation and evaluation from everyone. Turns out, over these years, you've carefully laid out such an extensive network of connections here."

"I also put a lot of effort into building my own reputation. Honestly, if it weren't for you parachuting in, I'm afraid I might have taken that position."

"Are you talking about my current position?"

"Exactly, but the old man has been strongly opposed, so the issue with that position remains unresolved, leaving me stuck as just the team leader."

"If you were to take over, wouldn't that be turning the world upside down? Then, wouldn't the whole group be at your mercy?"

"Boss Ye, you think too highly of me. I am just taking people's money to work for them. Honestly, over the years with this organization, I really don't want to have anything to do with it anymore, but there was no choice, I got dragged into it step by step."

"It's not about being dragged into it. The main issue is if you could make your own stance clear, no one could force you into anything."

"No, Boss Ye, you're wrong. My wife and children are all overseas now, completely under their control. If I say I won't do it, then their lives would likely be seriously threatened."

"What did you say? Your wife and children?"

"That's right. As early as five years ago, they were moved overseas by Shuige under various other pretenses. In reality, I know he just wants to control me from the shadows. So, for all these years, I have been following his orders."

"Okay, I understand. I wanted to ask you about the haunted incident tonight. Are you sure you don't know what happened?"

"My conscience is clear, I really don't know. Besides, how could I possibly make such a big commotion in the company? I definitely wouldn't do that, after all, I am responsible for security."

"Am I being honest?"

"Yes, I'm telling you the truth. It has come to this point, do you think I would still deceive you? I'm really not concerned with anything anymore."

"Then about this matter, are there any other rumors within the company? Maybe someone is doing their own thing in secret?"

"To tell the truth, in my 10 years at the company, I have basically been able to see clearly. These executives mostly belong to Guo Tao's network, but ever since five years ago, when Guo Group started to gradually decline, these people have been shifting allegiances, with only one goal: to absorb all the shares held by Guo Group. That way, they can easily kick them out."

"The end goal is to strip them of all their power, right?"

"Exactly, that's how it is. So, these years inside the company, on the surface, everything looks peaceful, but in reality, there's always been an undercurrent. Most of these people clearly understand what's going on."

"Alright, I understand. It's late now, you should go back. Oh, and take me to meet this Shuige tomorrow."

"I advise you, it's better not to go. And as I told you today, Shuige brought only some underlings, so his commitment to this scene today means his strength is definitely not as simple as you imagine. He has a team known as the Four Great Masters by his side, and they're said to be exceptionally formidable."

"Four Great Masters, huh? Well, it's been a long time since I've had a chance to stretch my muscles. It seems like a good opportunity to see for myself just how impressive these Four Great Masters are."

"Boss Ye, this is really risky, I urge you, you absolutely should not do it."

"No worries. Now that things have come to this, do you think Shuige could simply swallow his pride? He will definitely find a way to deal with me. I might as well walk right into his trap, and give him the opportunity."

"You're sure? You really want to go?"

"Yes, I'm sure, I will go. Help me make contact as soon as possible. When it's light, we must act quickly, we can't delay this matter."

"Okay, I understand."

"Fine, then you can go. If anything comes up, I will contact you."

"Alright, Boss Ye, you should rest early. I'll be off."

After saying this, Captain Yang left the room directly, and afterwards, he paused by the door for a moment, hearing no sound; then, he returned to his room.

Anying had been silent the whole time, and he knew that this scene had indeed caused him to be startled.

"How do you feel, still scared?"

"Not really scared. At the time, I was completely unconscious, but now that I think about it, if you hadn't arrived when you did, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"Yeah, at that time..."

Ye Chen suddenly stopped talking. He found it difficult to continue with the memory of that moment.

The more he described to her, the more pressure it would inherently apply, so at this moment, Ye Chen didn't want to play that role.

"Enough, it's all in the past. Don't bring it up again. Remember, in such situations, you must never go alone unless I allow it and can ensure your safety. Only then will I permit you to do so."

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I didn't expect to be saved by you again this time."

"There's no talk of saving lives. You're my person now, and I won't allow anyone to harm you. And also, you should go back to your room and rest for now. Everything will be dealt with after dawn."

"You're really decided, you'll go by yourself tomorrow? If so, it might be better for me to accompany you?"

"Do you think you can do anything by my side? I'm telling you, you don't have the skills. If those people start targeting us, you would end up being a burden. So, I think I should be able to handle it on my own."
