I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier-Chapter 799: Unwilling to Cause Trouble

No matter what, that is a dog, a life, so unless absolutely necessary, Ye Chen would definitely not harm that dog.

Having taken care of matters in the yard, Ye Chen now easily made his way to the entrance and discovered a sliding glass door.

He tried to pull it and found it firmly locked. It seemed the person inside had a strong sense of security; despite having a dog in the yard, the defense was still tight.

For Ye Chen, of course, this was a piece of cake. He pulled out a slender piece of wire from his pocket and gently poked around, soon there was a click sound, and the door unhinged slightly for him.

After opening the door he simply peeked inside his own body, the living room was dim, and he could see a lamp shining from a corner.

The interior was extremely luxurious, but Ye Chen did not see anyone in the living room.

He had observed from outside that the sound must be coming from upstairs.

Ye Chen tiptoed into the room, then quietly closed the door behind him and quietly entered the living room.

Standing there, Ye Chen surveyed the environment and spotted no surveillance equipment.

In that case, his intrusion should be no trouble now; the person was likely in the second-floor bedroom or study.

While pondering, Ye Chen swiftly headed upstairs.

He tiptoed to the second floor and stood in the middle of the corridor to listen carefully.

He heard some faint noises, seemingly coming from a room about two doors ahead of him.

That door was ajar, and the light in the room was seeping out from there.

Ye Chen crept up to it, holding his breath deeply.

Then, Ye Chen tried to peek his head over to check who was inside the room, but to his surprise, he saw the figure of a man.

That wasn't right. He had expected to find a woman at this time, didn't 'secrets hidden in the golden house' refer to a woman?

But why was Ye Chen seeing a man's figure? It was indeed unbelievable to him.

Turning his head, Ye Chen took another look and realized that the man was facing away, but judging by his back, haircut, and clothing, this man definitely wasn't Brother Shui.

If it wasn't him, why was this person here?

Could it be that the mansion's owner had changed, and it was no longer Brother Shui?

This realization made Ye Chen step back twice.

He remembered that woman had told him before, she wasn't clear on the current situation, and if Brother Shui really had sold this mansion, then Ye Chen would be trespassing illegally.

Considering this, Ye Chen prepared to temporarily leave the place. Without any clue, there was no point staying any longer and it would be a waste of time.

Apart from adding risk, the least concern was bringing trouble upon himself, and he didn't want to complicate matters further at this time.

Ye Chen moved silently forward and paused at the end of the corridor, then suddenly turned back for a look.

He noticed an oil painting hanging in the center of the corridor, depicting Brother Shui's portrait.

Looking closely, Ye Chen affirmed it was his likeness and judging by the painting and its decorative state, it likely held considerable value.

If the house had changed owners, the original owner's portrait would not still be hanging there. Clearly, the house hadn't changed hands.

If the owner hadn't changed, then who exactly was that person inside?

What kind of relationship did he have with Brother Shui?

Ye Chen was about to leave but stopped in his tracks after this realization and stood steadily in one corner.

He kept watch on the studio's movements, but after a long wait, there were no significant noises.

Looking at the time, it was already 1:00 AM.

Waiting any longer wouldn't be wise, and Ye Chen once again approached the study's door.

Peering through the crack, he spotted the man now slightly turned, typing into a computer, seemingly working on some document.

The man was wearing glasses, and Ye Chen only saw his profile, which somehow felt familiar, as though he had seen it somewhere before.

Could it be that this man worked in the company?

If so, he could almost be certain about the identity of the high-profile individual in the company colluding with Brother Shui.

Suddenly, Ye Chen pushed the door open wide.

At such late hours, the appearance of a stranger would indeed startle anyone inside.

Ye Chen abruptly turned back and looked at the man cautiously.

When their eyes met, an impression of the man flashed through Ye Chen's mind – yes, he was a high-level manager in the company, but it seemed he had always been handling logistic tasks, remaining inconspicuous without significant achievements. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

At the time Ye Chen was reviewing the data, he didn't pay much attention to this person's information, considering him quite ordinary and having been newly promoted not long ago.
