Having just arrived here, Ye Chen felt that he had already taken on the two biggest tasks, but there was no helping it. Since he had accepted them, he had to do them well.

A mere six months, but these six months, for Ye Chen, would probably be filled with fulfillment.

Lying in bed, tossing and turning while thinking about these matters, Ye Chen actually dozed off.

Maybe it was because he had indeed been quite tired lately, so when he opened his eyes again, he realized it was already dawn outside.

He sat up in bed, looked at the time, and saw it was only just 6:00 am. If they left now, they would probably reach the dock by 8:00 am the next day.

Ye Chen dressed and went to the washroom for a quick wash before quietly slipping out of the room.

The whole place was still quiet. Ye Chen didn't know if Anying and Lin Yaru were up yet. If so, he could wait here patiently a bit longer. He didn't want to disturb their rest.

After coming down to the living room on the first floor, Ye Chen heard the door open. He looked over and saw Lin Yaru had already gotten ready and was waiting for him.

He had thought Lin Yaru hadn't gotten up yet, but it seemed she had actually been up early, waiting for him.

"Heh, I thought I would be the first one up, but it turns out you were even earlier. It seems I've been demoted from first to second," Ye Chen said with a laugh.

"I'm afraid you can't even claim the second place. Anying left while it was still dark outside."

"What are you saying? Anying left already? That's impossible. There's no reason for her to leave so early," Ye Chen said in disbelief.

"I heard the door close earlier, and through the window, I saw that it indeed was Anying. She left early."

"Hehe, that girl, I didn't expect her to be so proactive about today's matters."

"Anying is a professional, of course, she is very proactive. After all, it's her own business. Like today, I also got up early and have been waiting here for a while. How about you? Is there anything left to pack, or should we head out to grab something to eat?"

"No need to eat. We can just bring something along and eat in the car. I'm not hungry."

"No, I'll pass on eating. I don't have an appetite. As you know, when I have something on my mind, I just can't eat or sleep. Let's hurry over to check the situation. Only then can I truly be at ease."

As she spoke, it seemed Lin Yaru was becoming more impatient.

"Yaru, listen to me. I can go with you to resolve this matter that's been haunting you, but fully understanding what happened back then isn't something that can be resolved overnight. You have to stay calm. Life must go on. You can't let this disrupt your life. Otherwise, I really won't be able to continue helping you."

This was exactly what Ye Chen was worried about—Lin Yaru not being able to properly handle her situation while dealing with these matters.

If she really couldn't pull herself out, then it would be a very troublesome issue.

Of course, Lin Yaru understood all of this very well and knew exactly what Ye Chen was worried about.

"I promise you, after I return, I will immediately throw myself into work. As for when this mystery will be solved, that's up to time. So, rest assured, I won't disrupt my regular life."

Ye Chen simply nodded. Now that Lin Yaru had given her assurance, he felt he could gradually let go of his concerns.

The two of them packed up briefly and then set off on their journey.

They thought they had put a full stop to their dealings with that other city, but actually, it was likely just the beginning of an affair.

At that moment, in a large room, several blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners were gathered. Ye Chen had previously investigated these people. Besides those three men, there were also two very beautiful foreign women sitting there.

What they didn't expect was that among them sat another person, who clearly didn't come from the same place as they did, yet was seated right in the center.

"This must be the first time in six years that we've all sat down together like this."

The man in the middle spoke first.

"Mr. Kong, I understand this is a necessity. We wouldn't come together except in the most critical moments. That's always been our rule, hasn't it?"

"Haha, a rule? You know it's a rule? Your private meetings—do you really think I'm unaware of all this?"

Mr. Kong's demeanor suddenly shifted, his facial expression darkening.

The people below, like chastised children, dared not make a sound, each bowing their heads low.

"I know it's been tough standing guard here for so many years, so I've turned a blind eye to your little side dealings as long as they do not affect our operations. But now that such a big incident has happened, who should take the responsibility?"

"Mr. Kong, it was an accident. We truly didn't expect this woman to suddenly resign and leave the hospital."

"Really? An accident? I tell you, it's no accident. This has been planned for a long time, and how did our equipment get discovered by those people? It means someone has been paying attention to us."

"Even if they knew about the equipment, they couldn't possibly find mine, so I think our situation is still very safe."

"Is that so? But then again, do you truly believe you have blended perfectly into the local lifestyle? I tell you, you haven't, not at all. We've probably finally met our match this time. I've had people search nearby, and I can pretty much confirm that a Pop Analyzer has appeared close to that person's home, so..."

"So, you're saying, you think we've been completely exposed now?"
