In the family compound of the capital, within a quadrangle.
After hanging up the phone, Secretary Liu looked up at Xu Zhenguo. "Sir, is it really alright to have Xu Shi'an follow Ye Cangtian?"
Xu Shi'an was already a restless fellow. If Ye Cangtian were normal, it would be fine.
The key point was that this kid Ye Cangtian seemed to have an even greater talent for causing trouble. In less than half a month in the capital, how much trouble had he stirred up?
Even the Yuwen family, a top family in the capital, now hated this kid to the bone.
Was it really good for the two of them to be together?
Old Master Xu sat under the grape trellis, drinking tea and fiddling with a chessboard. He found that the amazing endgame puzzles he used to be obsessed with no longer held his interest.
Dropping a handful of chess pieces, the old man said listlessly, "Out of sight, out of mind! If they can stir up trouble in Yangzhou, then let them stir it up!"
Secretary Liu's cheeks twitched slightly as he suppressed a smile.
He thought for a moment and then said, "Zhao Ziyang's escape is likely related to Yuwen Chengji. If he's really coming for Ye Cangtian, should we send people to make arrangements?"
Send personnel to Yangzhou to set up a net, and capture Zhao Ziyang again!
Old Master Xu pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Do you think Ye Cangtian can deal with Zhao Ziyang?"
Secretary Liu was stunned, then gave a wry smile. "I doubt it! Zhao Ziyang was the number one expert in the Dragon Group eight years ago. Even a year ago, Yuwen Chengji spent a lot of effort, and the Dragon Group mobilized dozens of members to defeat this demon."
Zhao Ziyang's strength now is unfathomable!
Therefore, in his opinion, Ye Cangtian was definitely no match for Zhao Ziyang.
However, after a moment of silence, Old Master Xu suddenly said faintly, "No need to send anyone. This can also be a test for that kid. If he can't even deal with Zhao Ziyang, how can he establish himself in the Hidden Group in the future?"
Secretary Liu was startled. Wouldn't this be too risky?
But since Xu Zhenguo had made up his mind, he changed the subject and asked, "Any news from overseas?"
A while ago, members of the Dark Association had secretly flowed abroad, suspected of having major actions, but no news had come until today.
Secretary Liu shook his head. "No news for now. These fellows from the Dark Association are too secretive, making it difficult to figure out what they intend to do!"
Old Master Xu leaned back in his lounge chair, closed his eyes, and said no more.
...
After Ye Cangtian finished his call with Secretary Liu, he walked towards Tang Xinwan's office.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw a little girl about five or six years old playing in the hallway.
He was somewhat surprised and smiled, "Little sister, why are you playing here alone? Where are your adults?"
"My mommy is working!" the little girl replied obediently, looking up.
"Heh heh, what's your name?" Ye Cangtian squatted down and stroked her head. This little girl was quite cute.
"My name is Zhou Ruoyu. Uncle, are you my mommy's colleague?"
"Yes!"
Ye Cangtian nodded with a smile. He didn't know whose child it was; he hadn't seen her before.
But just then, an office next door opened, and a woman called out to the little girl, "Ruoyu, don't play by the elevator, it's dangerous!"
Seeing her, Ye Cangtian grinned and said, "Director Zhou, is this your daughter?"
Director Zhou glanced at him, frowned, and didn't answer. She just said to the little girl, "Ruoyu, come here, stay in my office and play!"
"Okay, Mommy!" The little girl bounced inside.
Then Director Zhou gave Ye Cangtian a vigilant look and closed the office door.
Ye Cangtian touched his chin, feeling a little speechless!
I'm not a bad person, why are you so defensive of me?
However, what he didn't know was that in Director Zhou's eyes, Ye Cangtian was an indecent person.
Although Director Zhou didn't know Ye Cangtian's relationship with Tang Xinwan, she had always disliked guys like him who idled around the company all day and gave off a roguish aura.
Ye Cangtian entered Tang Xinwan's office and asked as soon as he spoke, "Is the little girl outside Director Zhou's daughter?"
Tang Xinwan, who was reviewing documents, looked up. "Yes, Sister Zhou told me. Her nanny had to go back to her hometown for a few days, so she had no choice but to bring Ruoyu to the company."
It was indeed Director Zhou's daughter. He hadn't expected her to be married.
In fact, Ye Cangtian had always thought that this mature and sexy Director Zhou was probably single, given her aloof and unapproachable personality, which made it difficult for most men to get close to her.
Now it seemed that this ripe peach had already been claimed by someone!
"What a pity!" Ye Cangtian muttered, shaking his head.
"What did you say? What's a pity?"
Tang Xinwan hadn't heard clearly. She sighed and said, "It is indeed a pity. Sister Zhou is so beautiful, and many people pursue her, but for Ruoyu, she has delayed her own lifelong happiness!"
"What do you mean?" Ye Cangtian's interest was piqued.
"Ruoyu is not her biological daughter!"
Tang Xinwan gave him a sidelong glance and explained, "Ruoyu is actually the child of Sister Zhou's best friend. When Ruoyu's mother died in childbirth, that man took no responsibility. So, Sister Zhou adopted Ruoyu."
"Over the years, because she was raising a child, Sister Zhou has remained single!"
So that's how it is!
Ye Cangtian suddenly realized why the little girl took Director Zhou's surname. It was for this reason!
But this Director Zhou was truly a kind woman.
Just then, his phone rang.
It was Li Dazhuang calling. As soon as Ye Cangtian answered, he heard Li Dazhuang say urgently, "Brother, there are a few guys trying to force their way in. They're making noise and saying they want to see Director Zhou!"
"I'll go down and have a look!"
Ye Cangtian hung up the phone, a look of surprise on his face. Someone was causing trouble at the company, and it was related to Director Zhou?
Tang Xinwan asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Cangtian smiled. "It seems a few people are causing trouble at the company entrance. I'll go down and have a look!"
Tang Xinwan frowned. "Okay, be careful and don't escalate the situation, or it will negatively impact the company!"
A moment later!
Ye Cangtian walked out of the company and could see from a distance several thugs at the main entrance acting arrogantly and cursing loudly.
"You gatekeeper, you won't let me in? Believe it or not, I'll kill you!" a lean man fiercely pointed at Li Dazhuang's nose.
The other two security guards looked flustered and, holding their batons, dared not step forward.
Only Li Dazhuang's sturdy body blocked the entrance, preventing these hoodlums from taking even a single step into the company.
Ye Cangtian walked over and asked, "What's the matter?"
Seeing him approach, Li Dazhuang took a step back and said gruffly, "Brother, they want to get into the company to see Director Zhou. I wouldn't let them in, and they tried to hit people!"
"Hit people? Whoever dares to hit someone, just beat him up!"
Ye Cangtian said casually, then took out a cigarette, lit it, and looked at the few guys in front of him.
The leader was a lean man with a slightly pale face and bloodshot pupils, indicating that this guy was likely addicted to drugs.
Seeing Ye Cangtian, the man arrogantly said, "Where is that bitch Zhou Haiyue? Have her come out!"
