"I'm going too!"

At that moment, Yue Zhenfeng also stood up and spoke.

Jiang Chen was slightly startled and nodded gently. The two of them walked out of the office together.

Click!

As Jiang Chen and his companion passed by the meeting room, its door just happened to open.

"Jiang Chen, you're heading out!" Ye Jingyi, seeing Jiang Chen seemingly walking towards the elevator, spoke softly.

Jiang Chen nodded, "President Sun and I are stepping out for a fight."

"Fight..." Ye Jingyi blinked, a look of surprise on her face as she glanced at Sun Zhenfeng.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "This guy is even stronger than Ying Zi, just a notch below Wu Ji and the others. In the future, if troublemakers show up and the security guards can't get here in time, we can pull this guy out to take the brunt."

"Uh... Chairman, I'm the head of the acquisition team, not a security guard!" Yue Zhenfeng said with a wry smile.

"Close enough!"

Jiang Chen said with a light laugh, then turned to Ye Jingyi, "Once you're done, take Miss Song to Dingyun Lake Villa. I'll join you after I'm done."

"Okay!" Ye Jingyi nodded.

"Young Master, I'll go too!" Qingyuan Yingzi stepped out of the meeting room, her voice filled with eagerness.

"Okay!" Jiang Chen nodded again and turned to walk towards the elevator.

Yue Zhenfeng and Qingyuan Yingzi followed closely behind.

...

Across from Dingjing's Xinlan Bar, in a coffee shop.

Woo woo... Squeak!

Two Rolls-Royce Phantoms stopped at the entrance of the coffee shop.

Jiang Chen, Yue Zhenfeng, Qingyuan Yingzi, Wu Qianxun, Mengte De'er, and Xing Fei got out of the cars.

Glancing at the coffee shop, Yan Hu, Li Wuji, and Zhang Wushang were sitting by the window and stood up to look towards them. Jiang Chen nodded and led his group inside.

"Young Master!"

"Mr. Jiang!"

They greeted each other and sat down on two tables, where Yan Hu handed over a walking stick to Jiang Chen.

The walking stick had been kept in the car Jiang Chen was currently using. Yan Hu had taken the car to follow Zhang Zhengyan.

"How is it going? Any news?" Jiang Chen asked softly.

"No news at all."

Yan Hu shook his head gently, "I've circled around the bar. There are no other entrances; the back door is completely sealed with cement, leaving only this main entrance."

"The back door is sealed with cement?" Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, his eyes flickering as he asked softly, "Can you tell when it was sealed?"

"It must have been these last few days; it's freshly sealed!" Yan Hu spoke quietly.

Jiang Chen's brows furrowed slightly, he skeptically looked over at the bar across the street, a churning feeling in his heart, "Impossible? Could they have already..."

"Young Master, I was thinking the same thing—they might already have..." Worry flashed in Yan Hu's eyes.

Jiang Chen's expression grew stern, his brow furrowing lightly.

"Sir, may I take your order?" A voice rang out as a waiter approached.

Jiang Chen apologized, "No need, we'll just talk and then leave."

"Mr. Jiang, are you here because of the bar across the street?" the waiter suddenly bent down and whispered.

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment. All eyes at the two tables turned towards the waiter, nine covert auras firmly locking onto him.

The waiter trembled, sweat pouring down, as he hastily explained in a low voice, "Mr. Jiang, everyone, please don't misunderstand, I'm a member of the Vermilion Bird team of the Flame Dragon Group, assigned to watch the bar across the street!"

"Flame Dragon Group?" Jiang Chen eyed the waiter up and down and then took out his phone to make a call.

"Hello, Chief Instructor."

Jiang Chen spoke softly, "Spirit You, do you know the phone number of Vermilion Bird, the leader of the Vermilion Bird Squad?"

"I know, I'm with her right now, at... Head Instructor, I see you!"

Hmm?

Jiang Chen paused for a moment and glanced around.

A young man and woman were coming down the stairs of the coffee shop.

"Young Master, I think I just saw... they were holding hands," Yan Hu whispered.

Jiang Chen paused again and turned to look at a nearby waiter.

The waiter's mouth curved into a smile, but when he noticed Jiang Chen looking, he quickly straightened his face.

Hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen smiled slightly and looked at the approaching Spirit You playfully, "You lad, didn't I ask you to stay at Dingyun Lake Villa and wait to go out together? Are you here... chasing girls?"

"It's not..."

Spirit You's face turned red, and he hurriedly explained, "It was Zhu Yan who said she needed help. I thought since we have a few days before we go out, I would come and see."

"Mr. Jiang, you really know how to manage your subordinates. I've been probing for half a day and still haven't figured out what the purpose of those mysterious actions of yours was during this period!" Zhu Yan looked at Jiang Chen with a deep meaning.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "You don't need to worry about that. It's enough that Long Huang and the seniors know. It's not a good thing if you knew."

"I don't want to know what you are doing, I'm just worried about Spirit You. You run around everywhere, go places no matter how dangerous, and Spirit You's strength is..."

Zhu Yan blurted out, then suddenly realized what she was saying and hastily shut her mouth.

"Ha ha!"

Pfft!

"Ha ha..."

"There's someone who cares!"

"I'm so envious!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and Yan Hu and the others started teasing each other.

"Heh heh!" Spirit You chuckled sheepishly, scratching his head.

"Holy smokes! Spirit You, the guy we brothers call the millennium frost, actually blushing? And chuckling sheepishly? Is this... are you the Spirit You I know?" Yan Hu exaggeratedly exclaimed as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Hey, don't bully him just because Spirit You is honest!" Zhu Yan stepped in front of Spirit You and glared at Yan Hu.

"Uh..."

"Ha ha!"

"Ha ha..."

Jiang Chen and the others paused for a moment and then laughed even louder.

"Zhu Yan, Hu Zi is just joking!" Spirit You pulled on Zhu Yan a bit and chuckled softly.

Zhu Yan also realized.

Jiang Chen was famous for protecting his own, so it was impossible to let someone bully one of their own.

Suddenly, her face turned red, and she bashfully lowered her head.

"Alright, let's deal with the business at hand first," Jiang Chen waved his hand.

Hearing this, everyone immediately dropped their smiles.

Zhu Yan was taken aback, then looked at everyone in surprise.

From this detail, she could tell how highly Jiang Chen was regarded among his people. Without a certain level of respect, these people definitely couldn't manage such instant obedience and expedience!

"Zhu Yan, have you also noticed that there's something wrong with that bar?" Jiang Chen looked up at Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan nodded slightly, "That bar was bought three days ago and hasn't opened since. Also, the back door was sealed the day before yesterday. We've been monitoring a smuggling route recently. The route runs from the northwest into Flame Dragon Realm and then transports the goods to Dingjing."

"Northwest?" Jiang Chen furrowed his brow slightly. "Do you know what the cargo is?"

"Not sure. They have been very careful all the way, and our people simply can't get close. Moreover, when entering Dingjing, an old man appeared, and that old man seemed very dangerous. I feared he was a powerful figure, so I didn't let anyone get close!"

Looking out the window at the bar, Zhu Yan spoke seriously.
