"Wait for me, you absolutely cannot leave today."
Zhang Ke looked at Zhang Yun as he was now, his gaze like that of a young maiden seeing a handsome young man she had long admired.
Zhang Yun couldn't help but say, "Brother Zhang Ke, isn't that a bit exaggerated? I have nothing else to do today anyway, and I'm just idle. I won't leave, I won't leave."
"That's good. Then you eat first, and I'll go notify them right away!"
"Go after we finish eating."
With double happiness, Zhang Ke was beside himself. Before Zhang Yun could finish speaking, he had already turned and left the private room.
"Dong Hua, godson." Holding his phone, Zhang Ke stood in a deserted corner of a stairwell, excited for the first time in days.
"What's up?"
Dong Hua, on the other end of the phone, was confused.
Before Dong Hua could finish, he immediately interrupted, "Quick, look at the Lin family's stock."
While it was natural to be happy about such a thing, having failed once before, Dong Hua was not as excited as he might have been.
"Godfather, I know. The stock has fallen. Our efforts these past few days have not been in vain."
"No, no."
Hearing the unusual tone in Zhang Ke's voice, Dong Hua frowned.
"Godfather, what's wrong?"
Today, Zhang Ke seemed to have developed a manic disorder.
Into the phone, Zhang Ke explained the entire situation with Zhang Yun in detail.
"Tell me, isn't Zhang Yun our timely rain?"
After hearing Zhang Ke's description, Dong Hua gasped, realizing that his plan had been fraught with danger without him even knowing it.
If it weren't for Zhang Yun proactively finding Zhang Ke, his seemingly flawless plan would have been full of loopholes.
This person actually had such great ability.
At the critical moment, he stabilized the entire situation single-handedly.
"Of course, he is."
Dong Hua nodded.
Zhang Ke was instantly overjoyed. Hearing that Dong Hua did not object or resist, he spoke up eagerly.
"In that case, why don't we meet tonight!"
Dong Hua was about to nod without hesitation, but suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind.
"At this particular time, Zhang Yun is also from the Taitung Group. Isn't that a bit too coincidental?"
Although he only muttered it to himself, Zhang Ke miraculously sensed Dong Hua's hesitation and worry through the phone line.
He had already considered all of this.
At this moment, the words stuck in Zhang Ke's throat poured out like a flood from an opened dam.
"Godson, I suspected this person was not right before, but think about it, if this person were truly from the Lin family, would the Lin family pay such a heavy price?"
On the trend chart, the Lin family's stock had plummeted.
Millions in funds had evaporated in a matter of days.
Such a massive amount of money vanishing into thin air, if this were also a ruse, it would have to be orchestrated by a rather foolish strategist.
Because if anything went wrong, it would be ruinous.
"With Lin Feng and Lin Dong around, that brat Lu Feng definitely couldn't have done this!"
Based on this, Zhang Ke continued, "Therefore, I think Zhang Yun is trustworthy."
Dong Hua hesitated for a moment.
"Alright then!" Finally, he was persuaded.
After all, the outcome had already occurred and could not be changed.
If they were to meet, they would meet. He was tight-lipped. At worst, even if this person was a spy, he doubted they could extract much information.
"Godfather, what time and where?"
"Your side is rather conspicuous. Why don't you come to my place? I have a good spot, the Lightning Bar."
An afternoon passed quickly.
Zhang Ke worried that Zhang Yun might contact outsiders, bringing hidden risks. Therefore, after returning from the meal, the area near the reception room where Zhang Yun was located had very poor signal.
He had originally intended to contact Lu Feng.
But thinking of Lu Feng's words.
"After you contact Zhang Ke, that old fellow will definitely cut off your contact with us. At this time, you should do nothing and go with the flow, otherwise, you might expose yourself!"
Zhang Yun immediately gave up.
It was almost time to go to the bar.
A junior employee, responsible for monitoring Zhang Yun from a nearby observation room, hurried to Zhang Ke.
"Director Zhang, as per your instructions, I've been observing all afternoon. Zhang Yun has done nothing but sleep and watch television."
Hearing this, Zhang Ke's last trace of apprehension was swept away like dust in a gale, vanishing instantly.
"Good, very good!"
"Go call him here and tell him I'm looking for him."
"Yes."
Before the employee could walk far, Zhang Ke's brow furrowed, and he changed his mind. "Never mind, I'll go myself."
"How is it? Rested well?"
Zhang Ke hurried to the reception room and cautiously pushed open the door.
"Hey, old friend, I thought you were too busy to remember!"
Seeing Zhang Ke, Zhang Yun deliberately put on an impatient expression.
After all, this was how a normal person would react.
Zhang Ke looked embarrassed. "I'm so sorry, so sorry, little brother. I'm getting old, you see. I can't handle some things. I'm old. A guest kept me for a long time just now, otherwise, how could I dare to keep you waiting, my dear brother!"
"Alright, isn't it time? Let's go."
Guided by an assistant, the two arrived at the underground parking lot. Shortly after, their car stopped at a brightly lit and bustling location.
They walked straight in, and only after entering a dimly lit private room and closing the door did Zhang Ke speak again.
"Let me introduce you, my old friend, Zhang Ke, and this is my helper, Mr. Liu."
Zhang Ke had intended to call Dong Hua by his real name, but remembering Dong Hua's reservations on the phone, he decided to use a different title.
This was also why they had come to this place. The dim lighting meant that even someone with 5.0 vision would struggle to see clearly.
"Hello, Mr. Liu."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Zhang."
Dong Hua deliberately sat in a dark corner, and Zhang Yun couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"Zhang Ke, oh Zhang Ke, I can't believe after so many years, you haven't changed at all. You're still causing trouble even when you're old."
A voice interrupted Zhang Yun's thoughts.
"Mr. Zhang, welcome to our team! From now on, we must work together and strive for a great cause!"
"Indeed, indeed!"
Zhang Yun responded with all his might.
However, he had not forgotten his mission: to uncover the clues behind Zhang Ke was the core. The Lin family's massive investment must not be wasted.
"After you make contact with the people behind Zhang Ke, don't be too aggressive. Be slow to warm up and let them make the first move. You know, it's them who are attacking now, so they must be more eager than you."
Zhang Yun, while recalling Lu Feng's instructions before he left, observed the situation and waited for an opportunity.
As expected, that brat Lu Feng was indeed suited for strategic planning.
Though operating from afar, he could achieve victory thousands of miles away.
Just this alone made Zhang Yun admire him, as he himself could not achieve such a feat.
