After being sent out by Xu Batian, Lin Jie paced back and forth at the door, his heart filled with worry.

"What does Xu Batian want to say to Ye Qiu alone?"

Lin Jie kept pondering in his heart, wondering what exactly Xu Batian was talking about with Ye Qiu inside.

At that moment, he suddenly heard Xu Batian's shout from inside, and his heart skipped a beat. He immediately wanted to rush into Xu Batian's office.

But he was stopped at the door by the bodyguards.

"Without the boss's orders, you can't go in."

The bodyguard said, his eyes filled with contempt as he looked at Lin Jie.

Indeed, he and his companions were all mercenaries hired back from Europe by Xu Batian, each incredibly strong, so they looked down on drivers like Lin Jie.

Furthermore, they were very dissatisfied because drivers like Lin Jie usually raced cars but sometimes got paid more than them.

This dissatisfaction had been brewing for a long time and they would seize any opportunity to trouble Lin Jie and others.

Lin Jie was aware of this. At this moment, being stopped by the bodyguards, his mood was not very good due to his concern for Ye Qiu's safety: "Get out of the way."

"Oh wow?"

The two bodyguards looked at each other with disdain when they heard Lin Jie dare to speak to them like that: "What if we don't move?"

As they spoke, one of them shoved Lin Jie and then waved his hand to slap him, but at this moment, Lin Jie blocked it with his arm.

"Eh."

The bodyguard was stunned, obviously not expecting Lin Jie to be so strong, but immediately felt anger when his companion scoffed at him for not handling someone half his size, who managed to block him.

"Looking for trouble."

The bodyguard couldn't bear it, his heart filled with rage, and he shouted angrily, ready to attack Lin Jie.

"I think you're the one looking for trouble."

As he spoke, Lin Jie already moved, and in an instant, his fist landed on the bodyguard's face, leaving the bodyguard stunned.

Then Lin Jie's fist struck his stomach again, causing him to bend over instantly.

"Go to hell."

At that moment, Lin Jie didn't let him off, crushing the bodyguard's back with his arms, and a cracking cry rang out, leaving the bodyguard incapacitated.

"You, you, you're looking for trouble."

The bodyguard's companion was clearly frightened by Lin Jie, but seeing his companion beaten so miserably, he was furious, pulling out a stun baton from his back and attacking Lin Jie.

But the result was the same, Lin Jie knocked him to the ground.

Bang.

After the bodyguard fell, Lin Jie clapped his hands, looking at the two bodyguards who were once arrogant but now groaning like dead dogs on the ground. His eyes showed deep disdain as he said, "I just didn't want to stoop to your level before. Did you really think I couldn't beat you? Bunch of trash..."

Spitting on the ground, Lin Jie quickly pushed open Xu Batian's office door, and upon seeing Xu Batian pointing a gun at Ye Qiu, he was shocked.

Then he noticed Ye Qiu's icy demeanor, seemingly ready to act, and immediately shouted, "Ye Qiu."

Ye Qiu was indeed ready to make a move. He could not bear it any longer, having been threatened by Xu Batian repeatedly today, and now having a gun pointed at his head, his life could be taken at any moment. Ye Qiu truly wanted to kill Xu Batian.

But hearing Lin Jie's shout, the killing intent in his heart diminished significantly, and he looked towards Lin Jie.

Xu Batian also looked at Lin Jie, frowning: "Who let you in?"

"Oh, Boss Xu, I heard shouting inside and came rushing in. What happened here?"

Lin Jie said.

Xu Batian pointed at Ye Qiu, who frowned and said, "I just revealed Boss Xu's hometown, a secret nobody knows, and he thinks I'm undercover."

"Oh, so that's what it is."

Lin Jie breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Boss Xu, I was the one who told Ye Qiu that."

Ye Qiu was stunned, not expecting Lin Jie to come forward, but immediately relaxed, knowing that since Lin Jie confessed, Xu Batian would believe it.

Sure enough, after hearing Lin Jie's words, Xu Batian's eyes flickered for a moment, then he put the gun away and looked at Ye Qiu, "Is that so?"

Ye Qiu nodded: "Indeed."

"Then why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Did you give me a chance to speak?" Ye Qiu said, "You pointed a gun at my head from the start, scared the hell out of me."

Xu Batian frowned slightly, then laughed, nodding in agreement with Ye Qiu's words, "Hmm, you passed."

At this point, Ye Qiu stood up, staring directly at Xu Batian.

Xu Batian narrowed his eyes looking at Ye Qiu, while Lin Jie watched Ye Qiu with full confusion, thinking to himself: "Don't say anything reckless."

Ye Qiu was silent for a moment, then said, "Boss Xu, I hope next time you won't point a gun at my head, otherwise, even if I die, I'll fight back."

Lin Jie was shocked, and Xu Batian's breathing paused, his expression immediately serious.

The atmosphere became tense once again.

Lin Jie secretly smiled bitterly in his heart: "Captain Xu Long, what kind of undercover did you get me into, this isn't an undercover, it's basically a mafia boss."

Although Xu Batian was somewhat angry with Ye Qiu's words, his suspicion over Ye Qiu's identity was lessening, thinking to himself: "Daring to talk to me like this, doesn't seem like an undercover. An undercover wouldn't dare speak to me like this. I'll test him one more time, and if all seems well, I'll have him accompany me to deliver that important shipment."

Xu Batian nodded to himself, then said coldly to Ye Qiu, "Alright."

Ye Qiu nodded: "Thank you."

Xu Batian waved at Ye Qiu: "You may go. After delivering the goods, I'll let you meet Xu Lei."

Ye Qiu's eyes lit up, thanked Xu Batian, then glanced at Lin Jie and turned to leave. Lin Jie also said a word to Xu Batian before preparing to leave.

"Wait."

At this moment, Lin Jie was stopped by Xu Batian, which made Ye Qiu pause his steps, glance back at Lin Jie with his brows furrowed, and then open the door to leave.

But upon reaching the door, he saw the previously arrogant bodyguards now lying on the ground like dead dogs, and was surprised, thinking to himself: "Was this Lin Jie's doing?"

At this moment, Lin Jie looked at Xu Batian staring at him from across, feeling uneasy as he asked, "Boss Xu, is there anything you need?"

Xu Batian shook his head: "Nothing, I just want to ask, when did you become so powerful that even Ah San and Ah Wu are no match for you."

Ah San and Ah Wu were the two bodyguards Lin Jie had taken down. Upon hearing Xu Batian's question, Lin Jie, who had already prepared an answer, scratched his head and smiled: "There's actually something I've been hiding from you all these years, I haven't told you the truth?"

Xu Batian's eyes flashed with brilliance, tapping his hand with the gun on the desk, saying, "What truth haven't you told me, come on, let's hear it..."
