Ye Tianfan watched as team after team of security guards patrolled the lobby, with a dozen more coming in from outside and then heading upstairs via elevators and stairs.
Of course, none of the security guards noticed Ye Tianfan as they entered the stairwell; he cleverly avoided them all.
Just as Ye Tianfan was about to use [Wind Strider] to rush out, he noticed that the Chairman, whom he had previously thought was dead, walked out of the elevator, surrounded by several security guards escorting him.
Hmm? Sothing's not right! Ye Tianfan realized that each of these security guards was emitting a faint aura of hidden strength, so stronger than others. Even the weakest surpassed Ghost Blade; they were all Ancient Martial Cultivators.
Particularly, Ye Tianfan noticed a security guard who had previously climbed upstairs via the stairwell; he hadn't sensed him being an Ancient Martial Cultivator when going up, but upon coming down, he possessed hidden strength.
Moreover, the gaze of the Chairman at this mont was completely different from the one Ye Tianfan had seen on the Love River cruise earlier; this 'Chairman' had eyes full of cold ruthlessness, devoid of any emotion.
Could it be? An idea ford in Ye Tianfan's mind, and he was quite certain that this was indeed the case.
Ye Tianfan watched as the 'Chairman' was escorted out of the Tianyu Group building by a group of security guards and got into a luxury car that sped away.
Except for a few who got in the car with the 'Chairman', all the security guards returned.
Ye Tianfan knew he couldn't wait any longer; if he were discovered during their next patrol, it would be over. Though none of them could defeat him on their own, in numbers, they could overwhelm him like ants devouring an elephant.
Seizing the mont as the security guards entered the gate and gathered to assign tasks, Ye Tianfan used a [Wind Strider] and in a flash, appeared outside the Tianyu Group.
Hoo, tonight's findings are substantial; the Tianyu Group's Chairman is likely dead, and the current one is definitely an impostor, with many security guards also disguised.
What exactly are they up to?
It seems necessary to inform Qin Ruong and Long Yuqing about this to prevent unforeseen complications.
Having thought of this, Ye Tianfan hurriedly notified Long Yuqing to co to the Qin Group for an important discussion.
When Ye Tianfan arrived at Qin Ruong's office, he found Long Yuqing already there. Qin Ruong, still busy with paperwork, now had no assistant by her side, leaving only the two of them in the office.
Seeing Ye Tianfan had arrived, a hint of confusion flashed across Qin Ruong's face. She paused in her work and asked, "What's going on? You just left here and ntioned sothing urgent, even calling her over. What's the matter?"
After speaking, Qin Ruong glanced at Long Yuqing.
"It's about the Tianyu Group," Ye Tianfan explained and tried to find a place to sit down. Searching for a while, he realized the place was filled with docunts, leaving nowhere to sit.
"Why don't you sit here with ? We can squeeze together!" Long Yuqing suggested as she noticed Ye Tianfan had nowhere to sit and scooted over a bit.
Seeing this, Qin Ruong didn't say a word but instead stood up, pulled Ye Tianfan over to her chair, and sat down beside him, just spacious enough for two.
"My chair is bigger than yours, no need to squeeze," Qin Ruong said, glancing at Long Yuqing with a nonchalant tone.
Long Yuqing shrugged, saying nothing upon hearing this.
After Ye Tianfan sat down, he wasted no ti and shared everything he had learned at the Tianyu Group today.
"Are they making a last stand?" Long Yuqing analyzed, "It shouldn't be; based on the information I have, the foreign funds of Tianyu Group should last several months against that mysterious force."
"Could it be that the force supporting them doesn't want to continue fighting that mysterious force and intends to withdraw?" Qin Ruong offered her analysis without backing down.
Ye Tianfan furrowed his brows tightly. The Tianyu Group's plan to go all out put the Qin Group and Long Group in a passive position. If the Tianyu Group really comnced their all-out effort, the Qin and Long Groups might capsize in the impending tides.
Without capsizing, they'd need a huge influx of funds, yet the capital from that mysterious force hasn't been injected, the partnership barely in the negotiation phase.
It's entirely unrealistic for them to fund the battle during negotiation.
"According to Tianfan, if the Tianyu Group's Chairman has already been replaced, does that an their action is imminent?" Long Yuqing pondered, her brows knitted tightly.
"That ans the earliest could be tomorrow; we have to be ready to grapple with the coming tide," Qin Ruong echoed, also furrowing her brows.
Tonight's newly acquired information left them with barely enough ti to ponder a solution before the other side's plan would unfold tomorrow, which was overly rushed.
Moreover, Qin Ruong had an overwhelming amount of docunts requiring her signature; delaying just one day would pile up even more paperwork.
Without devising a plan, future actions would beco exceedingly difficult.
What to do? Qin Ruong intensely missed her grandfather at this mont; if he were here, he could surely co up with a solution quickly, or at least provide direction.
"By the way, check if any important confidential docunts are missing from the company," Ye Tianfan suddenly recalled the person he had brushed past when leaving the Qin Group, prompting him to investigate the Tianyu Group at night.
"What happened?" Qin Ruong frowned deeply, knowing Ye Tianfan wouldn't make groundless assertions.
Ye Tianfan recounted the incident that led him to investigate the Tianyu Group that night.
After hearing this, Qin Ruong grabbed the phone and directed her assistant to have all company confidential docunts verified by authorized personnel to prevent any loss.
anwhile, Long Yuqing also picked up her phone, giving similar instructions to check her own company's confidential docunts.
At this mont, a faint irritation showed between Long Yuqing's elegant brows as she remarked, "Since the Qin Group could be infiltrated, there's no reason he would overlook my Long Group. If I truly find sothing missing, I'll make sure that so-called 'Chairman' regrets it."
Long Yuqing's expression was frosty.
For years, as the underground queen of Jiangzhou City, she hadn't been this embarrassed in a long ti. More frustratingly, she couldn't do anything about the opponent.
Qin Ruong's office fell into a period of silence.
They all waited anxiously for the results of the checks. If any confidential docunts were indeed lost, it would be a blessing just to stay intact amid the coming tides, let alone hold firm.
"Ring, ring~~"
As the three anxiously awaited, the phone on Qin Ruong's desk rang first.
Qin Ruong looked at Ye Tianfan, then picked up the phone on her desk.
"How is it?"
