I Break Tycoon's Immune Barrier-Chapter 554: With me around, he will never be able to secure his position

The sound of a door being pushed open came from behind.

Ning Yichen turned around, his eyes involuntarily stinging for a moment.

The man wore a black trench coat, his whole person tall and frosty, radiating an aura of keep out, his handsome face devoid of any expression, his eyes dark and deep, as if all emotions were trapped within, with no escape.

After four years, the man’s demeanor had become even colder and more reserved, making it utterly impossible to gauge his thoughts.

Over the course of four years, Ning Yichen had thought himself much stronger, yet he still subconsciously avoided meeting the man’s gaze.

"Why are you late today?" Yun Shenhan asked with a smile, "Come sit down. The new bartender has developed a new drink, I think it’s pretty good, you should try it."

Bartender...

Upon hearing these three words, the man’s expression seemed to drift for a moment, but it quickly cleared, as if it was merely the misperception of an onlooker.

He Jingyao nodded slightly to Ning Yichen as a greeting and then sat down beside the two of them, taking the cocktail from Yun Shenhan’s hand.

"How is it?" He swirled the glass, his voice low and his tone exceedingly light.

Ning Yichen shook his head, "It’s tough. Zhuo Yuwei, that old fox, has hidden things very deep. The stuff from back then, he’s probably already dealt with it privately, I have nowhere to start."

He Jingyao’s lips curled up into a mocking smile.

"No matter, we have time," he said, looking at the crystal clear cocktail in his glass, his voice gentle yet ice cold, "He’s the President now, his pride will inevitably lead to forgetfulness, you don’t need to make a move just yet."

"Yeah," Ning Yichen nodded then chuckled bitterly, "He’s a man of great suspicion, and although he trusts me for now, he never lets anything truly important pass through my hands. To grasp concrete evidence is very difficult."

"Whether we have evidence or not isn’t important, I just want him to pay the price." The corners of He Jingyao’s lips rose coldly.

As the sole beneficiary of that explosion, Zhuo Yuwei could not possibly have remained uninvolved. For him, knowing this much was enough.

"Your edge is too obvious, and he’s already starting to fear you," Ning Yichen reminded him indifferently, "Especially your actions of planting people in the council, which have really angered him."

He Jingyao laughed, took a sip of the cocktail, seemingly savoring it for a while before speaking softly, "It’s right for him to be annoyed. I want him to know that with me here, he can never sit comfortably in that position."

Ning Yichen and Yun Shenhan exchanged glances, a look of helplessness in their eyes.

The He Jingyao of the past surely had his wiles, but he’d never been so blatantly aggressive as now. But today, the man was like a gambler driven into a corner, his moves tinged with a hint of madness.

Fortunately, he was still He Jingyao, who, despite the madness, always retained a measure of almost cruel calmness and lucidity, ensuring they didn’t worry too much.

"By the way, where have you hidden Yanzhao?" Yun Shenhan suddenly recalled something, his tone exasperated, "Xuefei may never speak of it, but I can tell she’s always thinking about Yanzhao. And Little Tang Yuan, you can’t let my niece grow up without a father, right?"

He Jingyao smiled, "Don’t worry, he’ll be back within a month at most."

Yun Shenhan’s eyes brightened, "Does that mean your illness is nearly cured?"
