As for those brothers patrolling around the Noah Building, they were all handpicked by Chen Chen from the Red Tiger Gang.
Their physical skills might not be impressive, but their minds are agile, and their acting is top-notch.
They gather in threes and fives, disguised as pedestrians, vendors, and drunkards on the street, like an invisible net, completely covering the area surrounding the Noah Building.
Even the new security guards in the lobby on the ground floor are insiders from the Red Tiger Gang.
On the surface, they are monitoring so malicious mysterious forces on behalf of the Noah Organization.
In secret, they are Fang Cheng’s eyes and ears planted here.
However, the Red Tiger Gang is only responsible for the outermost monitoring, and what they can observe is limited.
Most of it is about the personnel coming and going.
For instance, to strengthen security, the Noah Organization has equipped important research personnel with bodyguards and arranged for them to be transported daily by a dedicated bus to live uniformly in the exclusive apartnt building owned by Noah Pharmaceutical, under semi-military closed managent.
Although these pieces of information are trivial, they indirectly confirm that the Noah Organization is far from calm on the surface; instead, it is filled with tension and vigilance.
"Also, sothing rather strange happened today."
After the routine report, Xiao Shuai’s tone suddenly beca solemn.
"Around eleven o’clock this noon, Chen Chen received another call from the top of the Noah Organization, summoning him to a eting at the Noah Pharmaceutical Building, supposedly to discuss the organizational work plan for the second half of the year."
"However, after he went in, he hasn’t co out until now, and no news has been spread."
The image in Fang Cheng’s vision moved slightly, as if Xiao Shuai turned his head, his gaze towards the brightly lit skyscraper.
"Furthermore, before going in, Chen Chen specifically instructed and Secretary Liu to stay low-key and restrained, not to act rashly before he returns."
Xiao Shuai paused, adding with confusion:
"Chen Chen, that old fox, usually has a keen sense; I think he might have sensed sothing."
"Later, I beca a bit uneasy and specifically asked Secretary Liu about it to learn so insider news."
"He said that this ti, not only Chen Chen was called for the eting, but also several other cadres from the East Capital Branch of the Noah Organization, who started entering the building one after another around noon, and none of them have co out yet."
"Around six o’clock in the afternoon, Secretary Liu tried calling Chen Chen’s cellphone several tis, but it always showed that it had been turned off."
At this point, Xiao Shuai’s tone was apprehensive, sensing that things seed a bit awry.
"Why report this matter only now?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Cheng’s brows slightly furrowed.
His voice revealed no emotional fluctuation, yet it made Xiao Shuai feel an invisible pressure.
"President, it was my oversight."
Xiao Shuai quickly explained, with a trace of regret in his tone:
"I thought, these big figures in etings, it’s normal for their ti to be a bit longer."
"Chen Chen ntioned before that after etings, the higher-ups from Noah sotis like to host a party directly at the internal restaurant for drinking and liaising."
"I originally planned to wait until after dinner ti, around seven or eight o’clock, assuming Chen Chen would co out, and then promptly report the specific contents of the eting to you."
This explanation was fairly reasonable.
After all, Xiao Shuai is just a thug, his perspective limited.
He couldn’t imagine why etings at such a level would last so long, and couldn’t comprehend the unusual actions of those madn from the Noah Organization.
In his understanding, the life of the big shots consists of etings, dining, drinking, and seeking fun.
Fang Cheng remained silent for a mont.
Unable to judge Noah Organization’s true intentions from this, nor if Chen Chen’s perceived loyalty had been exposed, or if he was under control, possibly even in danger.
After all, having phones turned off during etings is quite common.
It’s just when placed in the context of Noah Organization, at this ti, it appeared sowhat off.
After so thought, he switched to another question:
"How is the official side, any activity from the Special Search Team?"
"No, President."
Xiao Shuai answered imdiately, knowing this question was of utmost concern to the President; he had worked hard on it:
"The cops have been quiet; these days our people have turned the area inside out, and not only have we not seen the Special Search Team, but not even an extra uniford patrol officer, just those familiar faces."
"As for those seemingly suspicious Hidden Guards, we’ve sent people to test them, and they are all Noah Organization’s own people, every single one a hard nut to crack. A few of our brothers pretended to be drunkards causing trouble, and nearly got slapped back."
"You’ve worked hard, Ah Ren."
Fang Cheng spoke again, his tone softened:
"Work needs to be done, but make sure to rest too, don’t wear yourself out."
The sudden care ward Xiao Shuai’s heart, dispelling all previous tension and apprehension, replaced with an intense sense of loyalty and gratitude.
"Thank you for your concern, President! My health is great; back when I road the streets, I could go three days and nights without sleep."
He puffed out his chest, responding loudly in his mind, with a slightly boastful tone.
"Besides, heh heh, now working with you on great endeavors, I’m full of energy!"
After a brief pause, he added with great enthusiasm:
"Rest assured, President, the brothers keeping watch here are all trustworthy, guaranteed no trouble. If I say a word, they will be eager to take action for ."
"You’ve got nothing to worry about; the matters here will be handled impeccably by !"
Xiao Shuai promised confidently, his tone regained so Martial World bravado.
"Hmm."
Fang Cheng acknowledged, then fell silent.
Xiao Shuai dared not speak further, simply standing quietly, awaiting the President’s next instructions.
Fang Cheng’s consciousness was like the highest authority observer, scanning everything through Xiao Shuai’s eyes.
His spiritual power concentrated intensely, capturing every detail in his vision.
The surrounding area was one of the most bustling comrcial districts in East City.
Neon lights outlined the city’s desires, forming a river of brilliantly colored car flows.
The streets were filled with joyous laughter from n and won.
Everything seed so normal, brimming with urban vitality and noise.
However, beneath this bustling scene, undercurrents were already surging.
Fang Cheng’s gaze swept past the street view, preparing to withdraw his consciousness, he was suddenly drawn to a scene across the street.
A luxury bus emblazoned with the "NOAH" logo was currently parked in front of the Noah Building.
anwhile, a group of employees in blue or white uniforms was orderly exiting the building, lining up to board the bus.
According to Xiao Shuai’s previous report, this should be the bus transporting research personnel back to the apartnt.
Fang Cheng’s gaze swiftly scanned the crowd.
Suddenly, his sight locked onto a particular figure.
It was a slender woman with long black hair trailing down to her waist, wearing a modest pair of black-frad glasses and a white mask.
She donned a blue researcher’s uniform, a badge hanging from her chest, walking with others towards the bus.
Yet she constantly kept her head slightly bowed, seemingly trying to blend into the crowd completely.
The mask obscured her face, making it impossible to see her features.
But her air of disconnect from her surroundings made her stand out in the crowd.
Fang Cheng’s heart stirred, eyes sharpening suddenly.
Could it be her?
Due to Xiao Shuai’s standing angle, he couldn’t see the na on the badge.
"Ah Ren."
Fang Cheng’s voice sounded again, this ti carrying an undeniable command.
"Do you see the bus right in front of you? Watch the woman with long hair wearing a blue uniform and black-frad glasses."
Xiao Shuai paused upon hearing, then followed the command, quickly focusing on the target.
"I see her, President. Is there anything wrong?"
"Follow and approach, but don’t let her notice."
Xiao Shuai understood, imdiately releasing the railing he was leaning against, casually strolling forward.
Just as the female researcher stepped onto the bus steps, Fang Cheng’s view expanded clearly.
The na on her badge ca into stark focus—
Cui Xiuying.
