Or should I say, the opposite?

Was Qin Ruomeng the one who hired someone to steal confidential documents from Tianyu Group?

No way, if Qin Ruomeng hired someone, she would definitely have told me about it. Since she hasn't, it probably wasn't her.

Ye Tianfan thought of this and squinted his eyes. If it's not that, then does it mean there's a possibility that the secret documents were stolen from the Qin Group?

It seems I need to go in and see what that mysterious person actually did.

After that, Ye Tianfan walked quickly towards the tower's entrance. Just as he was about to enter the surveillance area, he shifted his pace and used [Wind Traverses a Thousand Miles], vanishing like a ghost in an instant.

Ye Tianfan instantly appeared inside the lobby of the Tianyu Group building, conveniently landing in a surveillance blind spot.

Watching the staff on their regular duty, Ye Tianfan carefully looked at the evacuation stairway location, knowing that generally, evacuation stairways don't have surveillance.

After identifying the position of the evacuation stairway, Ye Tianfan didn't rush over but instead looked towards the elevator. The elevator was still in operation, with the floor numbers constantly changing. Without surprise, it was the mysterious person who was riding it.

When the elevator's floor number stopped at fifty-eight, it ceased to change. Ye Tianfan understood that the mysterious person must have gone to the fifty-eighth floor, the top floor; it seemed like the Chairman's office.

With a sudden move, Ye Tianfan disappeared again and reappeared inside the evacuation stairway.

Looking at the long stairwell, Ye Tianfan sighed deeply. Fifty-eight floors, how long will it take to climb them?

When Ye Tianfan finally reached the fifty-eighth floor, he was slightly panting. Even with his stamina, swiftly climbing to the fifty-eighth floor wasn't easy.

However, when Ye Tianfan was about to enter the fifty-eighth floor, he discovered that the door to the stairway was locked, though that didn't deter him.

Ye Tianfan gathered his internal energy in his palm and struck the hidden lock on the stairway door.

"Crack..."

The hidden lock on the door made a crisp sound, evidently broken.

Ye Tianfan pushed the door open, revealing a corridor lined with red carpet. Ye Tianfan glanced at the top of the corridor with his peripheral vision to see where the cameras were positioned.

But after several careful checks, he found there were no cameras in the entire corridor.

Strangely, how come in such an important place, there isn't even a single camera installed?

Ye Tianfan checked again and still didn't see any.

Could they be hidden in the dark?

Thinking of this, Ye Tianfan hesitated. If the cameras were indeed hidden, how could he avoid them?

Without knowing the cameras' positions, he couldn't find the blind spots, and without finding the blind spots, he couldn't take action.

Ye Tianfan felt a bit helpless. Should he retreat? But he was already here.

As Ye Tianfan hesitated, he vaguely heard what sounded like arguing coming from the only office on the fifty-eighth floor.

It was this argument that made Ye Tianfan make up his mind. Ignoring the cameras, he decided to first listen to what they were arguing about. Even if discovered by the cameras, he would have a few minutes of blank time to gather some information.

With this in mind, Ye Tianfan tore a piece of his clothing to cover his mouth and nose, and in a flash, he appeared at the office door.

"Don't forget who made your Tianyu Group what it is today. Without us, you, an insignificant, insignificant enterprise, dare to set conditions with us."

This voice was somewhat gender-neutral, making it impossible to discern its gender.

"My Tianyu Group's capital was indeed small before, but it was still my hard work. Besides, I wasn't exactly setting conditions, just saying that when fighting that powerful faction, could you leave me some retirement funds, not stake it all."

The voice was utterly lacking in confidence, revealing its weakness, and Ye Tianfan recognized it immediately. It was the same middle-aged, greasy chairman who spoke at the Love River cruise, the voice was identical, no deviation at all.

Ye Tianfan grasped the situation roughly. It seemed that first voice was from the entity behind Tianyu Group, with friction now between them and a final business battle looming against that mysterious faction.

Then more arguing echoed from inside.

"Hmm, so you don't listen anymore, huh!" The androgynous voice sounded again.

"No, no, no! I won't hold anything back! I'll fully support you, no matter what your people do, I'll sign it. Please don't kill me, don't kill me." The Chairman's voice was filled with fear, as if facing a dreadful ghost.

"It's too late. I've decided, let's change the Chairman. What do you think?" The androgynous voice sounded somewhat excited.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, please, have mercy, I have a wife and kids, I can't die, please." The Chairman pleaded, and there came the sound of "thud! thud!" hitting the floor, likely kowtowing.

"Ah!" Suddenly, the Chairman let out a scream, then the office fell into eerie silence.

It seemed that the Chairman had been killed, though who would replace him next was unknown. But regardless of who, they would just be a puppet.

"Who?" Suddenly, a familiar voice from inside shouted.

Footsteps sounded from inside the room.

Ye Tianfan knew he'd been discovered. Although he didn't know what mistake revealed him, he had to leave now.

Ye Tianfan flashed back into the stairway and pressed his ear tightly against the stairway door to listen for movements outside.

Yet, left listening, right listening, Ye Tianfan heard no sound of the office door opening.

What's going on? Could someone else be eavesdropping too? Was it someone else who got spotted? Ye Tianfan pondered in confusion.

Just then, he vaguely heard the sound of glass breaking, followed by alarms blaring throughout the tower.

"Damn, seems someone else really was spying and got caught." Ye Tianfan quickly dashed down the stairs. He couldn't stay here anymore, or else he would definitely be discovered.

In his descent, Ye Tianfan encountered three waves of security personnel heading up the evacuation stairway.

But he evaded all of them effortlessly. It was simple; when about to encounter them, he used [Wind Traverses a Thousand Miles] and flashed over them.

His speed was so fast that these security guards couldn't even notice.

After three waves, Ye Tianfan finally reached the first floor, no longer winded.

But by this time, the first-floor lobby had already been heavily guarded by numerous security personnel.

"This is bad!" Ye Tianfan was somewhat troubled.
