Chapter 97, Message

After successfully escorting Zhang Chulan into the finals, Ye Yan's side had essentially completed its task.

Compared to the exaggerated performances of the fight between Ye Yan and Zhang Chulan, the confrontation on the other side with Feng Baobao and Zhang Lingyu was truly intense, the cheers mixed with blazing thunder and lightning covering the entire arena.

Roars echoed continuously.

Feng Baobao had no interest in the competition's rankings, but this time, she was taking it very seriously, her goal to help Zhang Chulan probe Zhang Lingyu's depth and the extent of her Thunder methods.

To lay the groundwork for the next match.

At the same time, to exhaust Zhang Lingyu as much as possible.

...

...

Longhu Mountain, the back mountain.

A secluded spot on the mountain.

Ye Yan was smoking a cigarette, standing alone under a large tree, wondering what he was waiting for.

Just as the cigarette was about to burn out, from a low shrub directly in front of him, a tall, bald, burly man slowly emerged.

"I'm here."

Seeing the arrival, Ye Yan flicked out the cigarette, looked at the man in front of him, and said indifferently, "Speak. Why did you suddenly call me out? Is there something?"

"Boss, did you recognize me?"

The bald man in front scratched his head, his expression slightly surprised. Surprised that Ye Yan had seen through his disguise in one glance.

"The fight is going on outside right now. In such a remote place, besides you, who else would come?"

Although Ye Yan hadn't seen through Lu Liang's disguise, with prior information, it was easy to guess the person's identity.

"Hehe!"

Lu Liang scratched his bald head foolishly and casually gave a flattering remark, "I guess it has to be my boss, that eyesight is truly impressive."

"Stop with the nonsense. What do you want with me?"

Ye Yan had no interest in such bland flattery, glanced at him, and asked bluntly.

Ever since their last parting at his house, Lu Liang had proactively exchanged contacts and volunteered to be his little spy within Quanxing.

After becoming a spy, Lu Liang's underground work was done diligently, occasionally informing Ye Yan about Xia He's recent activities, down to every detail.

This had somewhat improved Ye Yan's impression of the guy, making him less annoying than before.

"It’s nothing major. It’s just a small incident that happened in the organization recently. I think my boss would find this somewhat interesting."

"If you want to say that people from Quanxing are already on the mountain, then no need to tell me. I'm not interested in that."

As for what Quanxing wanted to do, Ye Yan didn't care at all.

Although his identity was as a company employee, it was only for taking money and doing work. As for other matters, he didn't want to bother with them.

"No..."

Lu Liang shook his head. "It's about Xia He. She had a conflict with someone recently."

"Conflict? Tell me details."

Ye Yan's face turned cold, his eyes suddenly becoming dangerous.

"Just a few days ago, Xia He had a conflict with a person named Bian Min from inside Quanxing."

"..."

Lu Liang recounted the events that had just happened, all of which he told Ye Yan.

Ye Yan quickly understood what happened.

"Is that person named Bian Min also on the mountain now?"

Ye Yan's expression didn't change, but his voice was bone-chillingly cold, causing Lu Liang to involuntarily retreat, keeping a distance from Ye Yan.

He could sense that the Ye Yan in front of him was more terrifying than ever, like a wild beast choosing its prey.

It was about to pounce at any moment.

"Yes."

Lu Liang's voice was hesitant, a bit afraid that Ye Yan would vent his anger on him.

After all, within Quanxing, there were already many stories about Ye Yan's existence and deeds. Zhang Youquan was a living example.

Lu Liang, now, was no longer the naive young newcomer from before.

This kind of person often becomes more fearful of the vast world as they know more.

He was no exception.

"He disguised himself, right? Then do you know what he looks like after the transformation?"

"Yes, I took a photo of him after the disguise, here."

Lu Liang flipped through his phone and sent a photo to Ye Yan. It was a burly man with a goatee, with a somewhat gloomy look in the corners of his eyes, and a common face that didn't stand out.

"Got it."

Ye Yan saved the image, then looked at Lu Liang seriously.

"Today's matter was handled well. I'll give you credit for it first. If you encounter any future troubles, you can tell me. If it's not too much, I'll help you handle it."

Ye Yan wasn't petty; most of the time he was reasonable, preferring equal exchange.

In his view, Lu Liang's handling of today's matter was already very good, and he didn't mind giving something in return, some tasks he could handle.

"Really?!"

Lu Liang was overwhelmed by the sudden joy, feeling a bit incredulous.

Originally, he had just wanted to tell Ye Yan about this matter, to show some presence in front of this big shot, to gain favor or something.

But he hadn't expected to directly get a thick leg attached, meaning Lu Liang now had a backer.

Thinking of this, Lu Liang was extremely excited. He quickly patted his chest, "Boss, rest assured. From now on, within Quanxing, I'll keep a 24-hour watch on Xia He, not missing any news."

Ye Yan's expression was blank: "Observe what you should observe, and don't look at what you shouldn't. Understand?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Lu Liang was obedient.

Ye Yan nodded, "Alright, since there's nothing else, you can head back first. I also need to attend to some serious business."

"Ah, got it. Take care, boss."

Lu Liang nodded and bowed, watching Ye Yan's figure as he left the back mountain step by step. Only after Ye Yan had gone did Lu Liang finally breathe a sigh of relief.

When he was with Ye Yan, he always inexplicably felt the weight of a mountain. Even if Ye Yan did nothing or said nothing, that heavy feeling was like a shadow, inescapable.

This might be what a big shot is like.

Thinking this, Lu Liang shook his head, put away his phone, and turned back along the way he came.

...

...

Leaving the back mountain, Ye Yan immediately sent that photo to Xu Si: "Fourth Brother, how many people from the company are currently arranged on the mountain?"

"What are you asking this for?"

Xu Si's messages and his ability were the same, only highlighting a fast word, basically responding in seconds.

"Find a person."

Ye Yan said concisely.

"Is it the one in the photo?"

"Yes."

"Alright, got it. On Boss Bao's body."

"Notify me as soon as there's any news."

"Um."

"..."

After a few simple sentences, the matter was settled.

Putting down the phone, Ye Yan's expression suddenly darkened, black and terrifying: "Bian Min, huh, little bastard, just you wait, I'll make sure to kill you..."
