I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier-Chapter 771: Life on the Edge of the Blade

"Just because he is a part of this group, does that mean we should make him talk?"

"Right now, we can't touch him. It's not yet the right time. So, I want to use this person to then draw out the whole string of people behind him. Only then can we know exactly how many of them are hidden here."

"Use him to draw out everyone behind him? Does he even have that kind of ability? He's just a small pawn, disposable after use."

"No, it's different from Captain Yang's case. After all, he has been with the company for nearly 10 years. He should understand the ins and outs better than me, which is why I want to turn him into my man."

"Turn him into your man, like how Anying was in the past? If that's the case, you can use him to dig up more inside information?"

"That's right, that's exactly what I mean. Left once, right once, this time, we must be prepared to lose a battle and swallow the humiliation, absolutely not letting anyone find out."

"Lose a battle? So this means we have to admit defeat and pay up this time? Do you realize what the final outcome you're facing might be?"

"As for the outcome, I believe I should have a good talk with Brother Shui about this. Whatever compensation is needed will be made, and so on. In any case, I have just one demand, and that is I cannot afford to go inside. Otherwise, nothing can be accomplished."

"I definitely can't let you go inside. No matter the cost, even if I have to bribe everyone one by one, I cannot let you go in. Once you do, the company might truly be finished."

"That's why I need to rush to meet with Brother Shui right now and tell him the current situation. Rest assured, I should know how to control him. Besides, there are some details I'm holding onto, which haven't reached the time to be revealed yet."

"Oh, details? What do you mean?"

"It's about Brother Shui's mistress. Apparently, she's supposed to be the front manager of that private club, but in reality, it should be Brother Shui behind it. So I'm thinking of making a new breakthrough from this point."

"His mistress, even so, that woman may not know too much. You know how cautious these people involved in the Martial Arts World are; they literally live on the edge."

"No matter how careful one is, there will be a day when they slip up. Thus, I am clear about how to handle this matter. Old Master, if you trust me, leave this to me. You just need to take care of the case, no need for you to step in for the rest."

"All right, understood. After I return, I'll have a good discussion with the two lawyers. Oh, where are you heading now? Going home, or somewhere else?"

"No need, I'll go to the company. It's chaos there right now, and besides, aren't many people waiting to make a joke of me? I just want to show them how easily I walk into the company and how I face everything under everyone's watchful eyes."

"Okay, since that's what you want, I won't interfere anymore. Additionally, Guo Hongyu's mood has been somewhat unstable, all because you were taken away. He has been distracted, so he hasn't gone home these past few days. When you get back to the company, you should give him some guidance, of course, in your spare time, because you're the only one who can help him now."

"Got it, I understand."

During the conversation, the car arrived at the company's building. However, the Old Master didn't follow upstairs, knowing his identity might be sensitive at the moment. So, he decided to just wait here patiently for a while.

After saying goodbye to the Old Master, Ye Chen took the elevator straight to his floor.

As soon as he opened the door and walked in, Ye Chen bumped into Captain Yang, who was probably leaving the office as it seemed to be time to clock out.

At the moment Captain Yang saw Ye Chen suddenly appearing in front of him, he looked astonished and just stood there, as if he couldn't react to what was happening.

Ye Chen, however, was very calm facing all this because he knew to whom Captain Yang's thoughts truly belonged; he could probably guess.

"What's the matter, not recognizing me so soon? Or did you never expect me to come out so quickly and safely? Does it disappoint you?"

After Ye Chen finished speaking, Captain Yang finally reacted.

"No, no, Mr. Ye, it's not like that at all. I, I didn't mean that. You, you're out? Of course, I'm happy."

Captain Yang was incoherent, but his words weren't that important to Ye Chen.

Because Ye Chen knew that while this bridge was temporary, it was still somewhat useful to him for the time being.

"Are you able to contact Brother Shui?"

"Yes, I should be able to."

"He must be aware of my being taken away today. So, get in touch with him. Postpone our meeting tonight until 9:00, where I'll still go to that place to see him, so tell him to be ready in advance."

"Tonight, we still have a meeting?"

"Of course, since I got taken away today, everything was postponed. However, it's far from over, so I need to keep pursuing the matter."

"Captain Yang, they just let you come here, no accidents? And will this end up as a formal investigation? What could be the outcome?"
