"Boss, Soul of Slaughter has new information."

"Speak."

"He's preparing for a new round of exams..."

"I need to know the recent movements of Ye Xiaofan and Yanhuang Soul."

"There's no information on Ye Xiaofan from Soul of Slaughter's sources. However, Yanhuang Soul hasn't made any significant moves recently, and the Four Heroes of Yanhuang have all gone out on missions. The nightingale has also remained silent."

"When will this guy finally become a full member? It's been over three months."

"Yanhuang Soul has very strict reviews. During a freshman assessment two months ago, he only scored one point. However, he was hiding his strength and didn't make a deliberate move then. It seems seven people led by Ye Xiaofan defeated over three hundred newcomers. Ye Xiaofan appears to have special privileges in Yanhuang Soul, with free access. Soul of Slaughter has seen him a few times in the Freshman Area, possibly instructing some newcomers, and he often visits their Yanhuang Soul hospital. But in the past week, Soul of Slaughter hasn't seen Ye Xiaofan, unaware of his whereabouts."

"Seems like? Should? He can't get more accurate information?"

"Boss, we're currently unable to control Ye Xiaofan's information, hence no assassin has taken up the Assassination Order."

"No rush, I believe he won't hide forever. Who are his partners?"

"Three people have been identified, nightingale goes without saying, Lei Xiaolei, initially a full member of Yanhuang Soul, and Li Kuo, the eldest and only son of the Li Family involved in that incident. The identities of others are still under investigation; their information seems to be blocked. Further investigations into Li Kuo and others yield nothing."

"Then don't bother with them for now. Add fifty million to the Assassination Order. Let those assassins track Ye Xiaofan's whereabouts themselves. We have many things to do here, let him live a little longer. Speed up newcomer supplies. It's a demand for manpower now, must continue to increase."

"Understood, boss."

Honestly, after Red Butterfly's significant losses in Qinghai last time, three strongholds were dismantled within two months. Consecutive blows almost brought Red Butterfly into paralysis. Fortunately, their funds are substantial, though it pains them to take out their own money to fill the gaps. But as long as the foundation remains, the money will eventually come back.

However, Ren Ling's provided masks were indeed timely; Red Butterfly seems to have investigated the people around Xiaofan. Although Li San's identity was always a small thug, hardly worth mentioning, and Han Shengjun just recently joined Xiaofan's circle, no one really knows him. Ren Ying and Ren Ling's identities have long been shielded. The Ren Family's protective measures are exceptionally thorough.

Xiaofan and the crew have now entered XG. If Red Butterfly's base is truly established here, then Xiaofan should accelerate actions in the next steps.

"Hahahahaha..."

Outside the airport, everyone laughed heartily listening to Li San's clumsy Guangdong dialect. After all, this is Huaxia territory, and the national language is certainly universal.

"Laughing at what? I daresay it, do you dare?" Li San waved the few thousand Hong Kong Dollars exchanged from a stall, speaking calmly.

"Alright, buying things costs a lot of money, let's eat first, then go get money, and finally, split into two groups: rent a house and buy necessary materials. Let's go."

Though they've reached here, Xiaofan hasn't fully planned how to proceed.

"Goddamn, how is every inch of XG so pricey, such places charge eight thousand a month? And it's so remote."

Upon reaching the rental place, Li San immediately complained.

"Alright, everyone gather around, Li Kuo, how's the computer setup going?" Xiaofan inquired.

"Five more minutes, all materials have been sent to your phone, check it." Li Kuo, embracing his new computer, shouted from the sofa.

Even with his own branch in XG, he, as chairman, still has to personally spend money buying these crucial items.

"Everyone, note the new phone numbers first, old numbers can't be used in XG, Li Kuo, hurry up, reviewing materials again is troublesome." Xiaofan urged.

"Mm, on my way." Li Kuo said, carrying his notebook. "Everyone, look, as previously mentioned, the accounts I traced eventually entered Dongwu Group. This group not only has many major shareholders but its projects involve various fields, including entertainment. Surprisingly, its money laundering style mirrors the previously dispersed accounts. All funds are first distributed among companies, then collected from companies as stock prices rise, slowly being absorbed."

"Shareholder information?" Xiaofan asked further.

"Li Jianmin, 52, built a family business, later ventured into investments. Feng Guolei, 49, graduated with an economics degree from Harvard University, was a modestly famous broker before XG's return, suddenly gained wealth five years ago, gradually expanded investments..."

After introductions, Xiaofan remained clueless, as their identities had no discrepancies. Whether Red Butterfly's boss hid among them remains unknown.

"Xiaofan, what are you thinking?" After finishing, Li Kuo noticed Xiaofan pondering with a frown, asking a question.

"I'm contemplating, if I were Red Butterfly's boss, after incurring massive losses, how to supply new assassins. Though they have suspicious laundering activities, it doesn't necessarily mean their base is here. If it were me, how would I do it flawlessly?" Xiaofan pondered aloud.

Setting up like the distribution bases seems unlikely, as such a move would quickly be discovered. Furthermore, this group, intertwined with numerous major shareholders, seems it requires thorough checks.

"Ren Ying, Xiaolei, tomorrow, you guys need to follow up, Li San, you and I will find a job at Dongwu Group."

"What? Find a job? What kind of job can we get?" Li San asked puzzled.

"Don't they have a security company? It's the only connection I see related to 'fighting.' If Red Butterfly wants new recruits, the candidate must know how to fight. Let's test the waters, breakthroughs will emerge eventually."

Subsequent events validated Xiaofan's hunch as highly accurate; the security company indeed harbored significant secrets.
