On Saturday morning, Chen Yan and Lu Sisi walked out of the high-speed train station in Lin'an Prefecture, arriving at the passenger exit where they saw a familiar middle-aged man in a suit exuding a strong professional aura.

The man caught sight of Chen Yan, his eyes brightened instantly, and he quickly stepped forward: "Teacher Chen! Teacher Chen, hello! I am Chairman He's personal assistant. Chairman He instructed me to come here to pick you up..."

"Hmm, hello."

"You can just call me Xiao Liu." Assistant Liu quickly nodded and smiled, "We met at Chairman He's old home when you and Master Chu were there together..."

"Yes, I remember you." Chen Yan nodded slightly.

In fact, he didn't remember very well. That time at the He Family's Old Mansion, Boss He was a wealthy businessman, the kind who appears on Forbes' lists, accompanied by several assistants. While this man looked familiar to Chen Yan, he couldn't quite match the name.

This Assistant Liu was evidently skilled at being an "assistant," quick to react, and adept at handling situations. After sizing up Chen Yan and Lu Sisi, he warmly took a rolling suitcase from Chen Yan's hand before leading them towards the parking lot of the train station.

In the parking lot, there was a luxurious business car waiting, the driver had already warmed up the car and turned on the air conditioning.

Assistant Liu respectfully invited the two to sit in the most comfortable guest seats in the second row, while he sat in the front passenger seat.

As the car started to move, Assistant Liu cautiously whispered, "Originally, Chairman He wanted to come and pick you up personally, but a top government official is visiting the company for inspection and research this morning, so Chairman He, as the company's chairman, couldn't get away. Hence, he instructed me to come and pick you up, and to convey his apologies."

Chen Yan smiled and waved his hand, "Boss He is too polite—I'm just here in Lin'an Prefecture for a bit of tourism, it's nothing major. On the contrary, I'm the one imposing on Chairman He."

"No, no, no, Chairman He said that you are an important guest. Hosting a distinguished guest like you is his honor, and he instructed me to take good care of you."

Chairman He, the wealthy businessman named He Jianbo—also the old fox Su Yi's son.

Chen Yan's visit to Lin'an was, of course, for a task assigned by the Inspection Bureau. However, thinking there shouldn't be any danger and it was only an observational mission with no plans to confront the target—a weekend getaway seemed like a good idea, so he brought Lu Sisi along too.

Lin'an Prefecture was the stronghold of that Boss He's company, having heavily invested in this area, the influence and resources they could mobilize were astounding.

Before coming, Chen Yan had given Boss He a call to ask a small favor. Boss He readily agreed, arranging all of Chen Yan's itinerary and accommodations.

The business car carried Chen Yan and others to the city center of Lin'an Prefecture, right at the entrance of a super-luxurious hotel by the famous West Lake.

Chairman He's hospitality was indeed thoughtful, as a super luxurious suite was prepared in the hotel, facing the lake, offering excellent scenery and a spectacular view.

Assistant Liu introduced to Chen Yan that this room was a long-term reservation by Chairman He's company, specifically for hosting distinguished guests.

After settling Chen Yan and Lu Sisi in, Assistant Liu politely smiled: "Chairman He instructed me to accompany and serve you throughout your stay in Lin'an. I'll be staying in the hotel, and the car with me and the driver is at your service. Consider us your temporary service team, on call 24 hours a day."

Chen Yan sighed inwardly; indeed, Chairman He's arrangements were exceedingly thorough.

This super-luxurious hotel suite by West Lake offered unbeatable scenery and views, along with a dedicated assistant and driver team, making a 24-hour service team—this level of hospitality was flawless.

Assistant Liu maintained a respectful demeanor, but his mind was full of thoughts.

The young man, Chen Yan, before him seemed surprisingly youthful—but the level of hospitality being extended to him seemed on par with esteemed guests involved in major corporate projects, according to Assistant Liu's years of experience with Boss He.

However, Assistant Liu had no intention of showing the slightest neglect or scorn just because Chen Yan was young—firstly because Chairman He had instructed him carefully, expressing a very respectful attitude.

Secondly, during that visit to the He Family's Old Mansion, Assistant Liu had seen Chen Yan. At that time, Chairman He seemed to hold Chen Yan in high regard, even personally seeing him off to the mansion gate when leaving, only turning around after the car had driven away—this gesture spoke volumes.

Although Assistant Liu didn't know exactly why Chairman He valued this young man so much—the family matters, involving the old lady's incident of the collapsed tomb and missing corpse, were not something an assistant would be privy to.

Moreover, Chen Yan had come with Chu Keqing then—Elder Zi, whom Assistant Liu knew well, was a member of the Mystical Sect with a considerable standing, but even so, wasn't related to the core interests of a wealthy businessman like Boss He. Typically, some polite and gracious treatment would suffice.

Boss He had shown a standard level of courtesy toward Chu Keqing.

Yet his attitude towards Chen Yan seemed significantly more respectful than towards Chu Keqing.

Assistant Liu didn't know the reasons for all this—but to him, it didn't matter. What was important was that he was well aware of his boss's regard for this young man named Chen Yan! As an assistant, his job was simply to comply with the boss's attitude.
