"I'm assigning you a task."
An Nishang's office.
Chen Che and Xia Na came to find An Nishang, preparing to go home with her, and also to discuss matters related to the Tasting Commerce Association.
To be honest, Chen Che was still a bit scared.
After all, it was his involvement that led to the death of a manager from the commerce association.
The Tasting Commerce Association has publicly declared that everything in the casino, including Pandora's Kiss's attempt to control others, was done secretly by Ulat alone, unbeknownst to the whole association.
Now, as the association manager, Ulat has committed suicide out of guilt.
This serves as an explanation to everyone.
Everyone knows that the association suffered a major loss this time, not only in terms of wealth but also with the death of a manager, losing both face and substance entirely.
If anyone dares use this excuse to go after the association, they'll likely face the full wrath of the Tasting Commerce Association.
For such a big association, if they really want to take action to kill him, Chen Che indeed feels a bit nervous.
He came to flatter An Nishang, hoping to get more protective charms besides Xia Na.
But before he could speak, An Nishang already assigned him a task.
Chen Che was stunned for a moment, then quickly regained his composure, smiling and saying, "Nishang, don't hesitate to give orders, I won't shirk any duty!"
An Nishang's beautiful red eyes stared at Chen Che for a moment before her red lips curled into a slight smile, and she said softly, "I want you to investigate matters related to the Apocalypse Society. Recently, a significant figure has joined the Apocalypse Society, and limited intelligence suggests that under this figure's leadership, the Apocalypse Society is planning a series of rebellions in the Ninth Special Zone.
They aim to overthrow the government's rule, causing the current order in the Ninth Special Zone to fall into chaos.
This is a matter of great importance; the Investigation Department is now under my control. I have management authority, and I can grant you full access to the Investigation Department's privileges. If necessary, you can also command the Special Operations Department to assist in your actions.
I want to see tangible results concerning the Apocalypse Society before I return."
Her extremely beautiful red pupils, filled with a sinister allure, were fixed on Chen Che's face, examining his stiff expression, as if trying to capture something she needed from his gaze and facial changes.
Chen Che's expression stiffened for an instant when he heard the task, then he quickly understood, combining it with the intelligence he'd gathered in recent days, rubbing his cheeks, saying, "Nishang, is it a bit... too important to entrust such a matter to me?"
"What? You are unwilling to help me?"
"Of course not, I am very willing to work with you, however necessary. I just heard that the investigation related to the Apocalypse Society concerns... the next Director position.
Such an important matter, shouldn't you personally handle it, wouldn't that be best..."
Chen Che hesitated; he didn't understand why An Nishang would give him such an important task.
Initially, An Nishang had him investigate the truth behind Pandora's Kiss. When he found out it was tied to the Tasting Commerce Association, he realized An Nishang wanted him to act as a shield.
Once you can see through the entire situation, choosing the path and how to proceed becomes much easier.
Hence, he dared to boldly enter the grand casino and stir things up.
But now he was unsure why An Nishang would entrust him with such a critical task?
"Wait... Nishang, you said you'll be back, where are you going at such a crucial time?"
Xia Na raised her head, looking over.
Sister, where are you going? How come she didn't know?
An Nishang didn't deny it, casually stating, "I need to return to the central empire for a legal trial. Thus, before I return to the Ninth Special Zone, the investigation into the Apocalypse Society will be your responsibility.
I hope to hear good news when I return."
Oh, I see... wait, no, if An Nishang leaves, and the Tasting Commerce Association takes advantage of this time to act, won't I be in trouble?
What? Sister is leaving? I want to go with sister!
Xia Na and Chen Che spoke almost simultaneously.
"Nishang, how about I go with you to take care of your daily needs?"
"Sister, I want to go back with you!"
Chen Che and Xia Na exchanged a glance, then simultaneously looked at An Nishang.
An Nishang intertwined her fingers, staring at the two of them, calmly saying, "Stay here, both of you.
You, go investigate the Apocalypse Society.
You, protect his safety, don't let him die before I get back."
Chen Che immediately started pleading stubbornly: "Nishang, you can't abandon me, if you leave, who will keep things in check? Those guys from the Tasting Commerce Association, won't they skin me alive?"
"Are you so afraid of death?" An Nishang raised an eyebrow at Chen Che.
Chen Che replied without hesitation: "Of course I'm afraid, if I die, I won't be able to see Nishang anymore."
Chen Che looked at An Nishang with deep affection.
Beside him, Xia Na made a puking gesture.
Stupid fool, such a good actor!
An Nishang said calmly, "The Tasting Commerce Association isn't interested in coming after you in the short term; the grand casino has already burned, they need to expand new business. They can retaliate against you at any time, right now, they need to seize the golden opportunity.
They don't have time to come after you until they fully restore their business in the Ninth Special Zone.
Nana will protect your safety closely. After I leave, Nana will also stay in the villa for close protection.
I'll also have agents from the Special Operations Department watching, and your people you've nurtured, if not now, when?"
