After arriving at Xu Batian's door, Lin Jie knocked and entered upon receiving Xu Batian's acknowledgment.

Seeing Xu Batian's gloomy expression, Lin Jie took a deep breath, then approached Xu Batian and said, "Boss."

Xu Batian paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking at Lin Jie, said, "I really didn't expect the police to deploy such a large force to capture Ye Qiu, and I also heard that the police are all armed and plan to kill Ye Qiu tonight."

Hearing Xu Batian's words, Lin Jie frowned and said, "Indeed, it seems the police tonight want to kill Ye Qiu even if they can't capture him."

Lin Jie didn't directly say that Ye Qiu wasn't an undercover agent but skillfully suggested that the police would kill Ye Qiu, making Xu Batian ponder even more deeply.

After a long while, Xu Batian finally sighed and said, "I guess I was being paranoid; Ye Qiu really isn't the undercover."

At this moment, Xu Batian truly believed in Ye Qiu.

"It's a pity about those five hundred million worth of goods." Lin Jie felt a sense of joy hearing that Xu Batian believed in Ye Qiu but cleverly voiced concern about the goods.

Xu Batian waved his hand: "It's just five hundred million worth of goods; compared to Ye Qiu, his value far exceeds that amount."

"Oh, boss, does Ye Qiu have such great value?"

Lin Jie chuckled inwardly, but his expression showed disagreement.

Xu Batian smiled at Xu Jie, then said, "You should know that I've been planning a much bigger deal with the General from the Golden Triangle lately."

Lin Jie's heart tightened upon hearing this. They had been undercover for so many years and prepared for so long just to destroy Xu Batian and the General from the Golden Triangle during their deal, to eradicate the General's drug den, and prevent them from harming people again.

Hearing Xu Batian bring up the topic voluntarily, Lin Jie's heart tightened with some excitement but masked it well, saying, "I know, boss, haven't you been preparing for years? This deal is incredibly significant."

Xu Batian chuckled, "It's not just significant; it's beyond your imagination."

Lin Jie asked, "Then, boss, what does this have to do with Ye Qiu?"

Xu Batian replied, "You don't understand. I need to go personally for this deal, so naturally, I'd need someone strong and skilled in driving. Ye Qiu is the undisputed choice."

Lin Jie said, "Boss, you might be overestimating Ye Qiu."

Xu Batian smiled slightly, "You don't need to be envious. Do you think you can outdrive Ye Qiu, or beat him in a fight? Even your team leader isn't a match for him."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jie nodded inwardly, knowing he was no match for Ye Qiu even if he had ten times his strength. However, he still put on an unconvinced expression, saying, "I still think you're putting him on a pedestal too high, boss."

Xu Batian laughed, "You... enough about this."

After speaking, Xu Batian thought for a moment, "The first condition to discussing these matters is that Ye Qiu has to come back alive. But given the situation tonight, things don't look good for him."

Lin Jie also nodded, "It's a pity about those goods worth five hundred million, boss."

Xu Batian laughed, "You only care about money, haha. Ah, I regret now telling the police. Wouldn't it have been better to leak it to those competitors and enemies instead?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Jie was intrigued and asked, "Boss, why didn't your rivals and enemies take action tonight? They seem very quiet."

Xu Batian could only smile slightly, "They are all shrewd and calculating people. When we were hiding, they tried everything to get information just to cause some trouble for me, resulting in some losses."

"But tonight, as soon as I provided the information to them, each of them thought it was a trap and didn't believe it. Haha, they're probably all rejoicing in their beds now."

"I see. No wonder none of them acted, they're suspecting this is your ploy, boss."

"But if they did send anyone out, they would probably be chased by the police by now."

Upon hearing Lin Jie's words, Xu Batian was silent for a while and then asked Lin Jie, "Do you know Ye Qiu's current situation?"

Lin Jie replied, "It's not good. He is being pursued by SWAT and special forces; it's really difficult, but fortunately, he hasn't had any accidents yet."

Xu Batian nodded, "I hope he can escape from Tier One."

Thus, they both fell silent, waiting for the final news.

Ring, ring, ring.

A piercing phone ring startled Xu Batian, and Lin Jie as well.

Xu Batian frowned and answered the phone with a very unpleasant tone.

"Who is it?"

"Boss, Ye Qiu has shaken off the police. Now the police are like headless chickens trying to find him, but no one knows where he is."

"What? Say that again."

At this, Lin Jie stepped forward to Xu Batian.

"Boss, Ye Qiu has lost the police, and we succeeded."

"That's great."

With confirmation that Ye Qiu was safe and had successfully eluded the police, Xu Batian waved his hand excitedly, Lin Jie felt truly elated too but shouted, "That's great, boss, the five hundred million is safe."

Xu Batian laughed, then said, "Quickly call Ye Qiu, tell him to finish up and come back."

"Okay."

Lin Jie was also a bit anxious, then dialed Ye Qiu's number, but after several attempts, the call showed as out of service area.

"What's going on?"

Xu Batian frowned, and Lin Jie did too, looking very puzzled.

At this moment, Xu Jiao rushed in from outside, excitedly asking, "Is Ye Qiu alright?"

Xu Batian nodded, "He's fine."

Lin Jie looked at the extremely excited Xu Jiao, frowning at the moment.

"Great, I'll call Ye Qiu."

Xu Jiao dialed, and neither Xu Batian nor Lin Jie tried to stop her.

"Why is it out of the service area?"

Xu Jiao looked disappointed, and so did Xu Batian and Lin Jie.

"What's going on?"

Xu Batian asked.

Lin Jie shook his head, "Maybe Ye Qiu ran into some mountainous area, otherwise he wouldn't have managed to shake off the police."

Xu Batian nodded, "Indeed."

Then he felt somewhat sleepy and said, "Alright, since we know he's safe, I'm going to take a nap. Oh, inform me immediately when you hear he's back."

Xu Batian left, and Lin Jie, frowning, also prepared to leave but was stopped by Xu Jiao again.

"What's up, Second Miss?" Lin Jie asked.

Xu Jiao said, "Sorry about earlier."

Lin Jie looked flattered and shook his head, "Second Miss, you're joking; no need to apologize to me."

After speaking, Lin Jie gazed deeply at Xu Jiao, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Second Miss, do you like Ye Qiu?"

Xu Jiao was taken aback and instinctively nodded, "Yes."

But suddenly felt something was wrong and looked at Lin Jie, "Why are you asking this?"

A trace of an unreadable expression flashed in Lin Jie's eyes, but after hearing Xu Jiao's inquiry, he shook his head, "It's nothing, you should rest early, Second Miss, don't worry, Ye Qiu will be fine."

After finishing, observing the extremely excited Xu Jiao, Lin Jie frowned and left.
