Chapter 698 698: Killing with a Borrowed Knife
However, this one night allowed Ye Chen to thoroughly understand one matter; he originally thought that the organization he had joined didn't serve much purpose, but after some thought, he suddenly realized that this organization should hold a very important significance for his future actions.
"Why didn't you call me? It's already past six."
After an unknown amount of time had passed, Ye Chen saw the room door open, and then he saw Li Fu yawning as he walked out.
"Oh, no, I saw it was early and wanted you to sleep a bit more. How was it, did you sleep well last night?"
"Not bad, did you really stay up all night?"
"Of course, I didn't sleep all night. Otherwise, how could I get to know all this equipment? By the way, did you know about the JK organization before, and that it has some origins in common with your organization?"
Ye Chen didn't get the chance to ask about this yesterday, and he was somewhat blaming Li Fu – knowing all this, he had never mentioned it.
"I know, I know what you want to say, you're asking why I didn't tell you, because once it's leaked, it would prove that I have revealed the existence of my organization to you, so it wasn't the right opportunity at the time."
"All that's not important, I just want to know the relationship between your organization and this organization."
"Regarding that, I don't know the details very well. You need to ask the person who is hosting the meeting today. He's likely the one who understands everything about the JK organization."
After hearing this, Ye Chen simply nodded in satisfaction, because that was exactly what he wanted to hear.
"Ye Chen, are you...?"
At that moment, Li Fu accidentally caught sight of an inexplicable smile on Ye Chen's face.
So the clever Li Fu quickly caught on.
"That's right. I've been thinking that if we want to resolve this matter completely, we must get in touch with the JK organization. I was worrying about how to approach the organization, but I didn't expect such a good opportunity to arise."
"So, you want to use us to get close to the JK organization?"
"Not just get close, but to completely eradicate it. Haven't you said it yourself? This organization is completely wicked, so what's the point of letting it exist?"
"But, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it, because the so-called JK organization is simply too powerful for you."
"Don't worry, even if I wanted to do it, I certainly wouldn't act recklessly. I will follow the plan step by step."
Li Fu opened his mouth as if he wanted to continue, but eventually, he said nothing.
"Alright, it's not up to me to decide what you do now. You are part of the organization. As of last night, I have withdrawn from the organization, and I no longer have the right to interfere with any affairs of the organization."
"That can't be right. Yesterday, it was only about me taking over your position, but that didn't mean you were stepping down, did it?"
"No, our organization is different. If one person joins, another must leave. So your joining means my departure, understand?"
"So that's how it is, but if it's really like that, wouldn't our organization always be at this number of people? It'd never grow."
"After the JK organization incident, the leadership has been very cautious, to prevent such an event from happening again. Therefore, the procedure for someone joining is very strict. Even introducing you in, the organization had been examining you for a year until three days ago, I received the order that you had passed the evaluation, and now you could join anytime. This is why I brought you here last night."
"I see, it seems quite troublesome. By the way, there's nothing else here, right?"
"Nothing more. This is the receiver. Take good care of it. Any future communications will be received from here."
As he spoke, Li Fu took out a small black box from his pocket and handed it to Ye Chen.
So, that was the device he mentioned yesterday. Ye Chen glanced at it casually and then put it in his pocket.
"Alright, now we can set off."
"The entry method and password for this place will be given to you later. You'd better change it, as per the organization's rules. Once people are changed, the previous person should have nothing to do with this room."
"Okay, I got it. I'll change it later. Let's go."
While talking, the two of them walked out of the mysterious courtyard.
When they arrived at Guo Group, it was exactly eight o'clock, which was Ye Chen's first visit here.
Standing at the foot of the building, Ye Chen looked up – at the very least, this building was more than thirty stories high. It was the peak of office hours, bustling with employees going in and out.
"Unexpected, isn't it, how imposing Guo Group is? After all, it's a local enterprise and has been in business for almost fifty years."
"Are you saying that this entire building belongs to Guo Group?"
"That's right, the entire building, and all the properties under the Guo Group's name are centralized here."
"You mean to say, all the companies inside this building belong to the Old Master?"
"Exactly. Hence, with such a vast organization, relying on these people alone makes it impossible to manage everything."
While speaking, the two of them entered the hall.
Ye Chen immediately spotted Anying, who seemed to be waiting for them.
"Hehe, Mr. Li, Ye Chen, finally, I've waited for you. The Old Master has been waiting upstairs for a long time. Just follow me."
Then, Ye Chen followed Anying into a brightly decorated elevator that stopped directly on the 29th floor while ascending.
Exiting the elevator, Ye Chen could see two red wooden doors directly in front of him, with two black-clad men standing at the door, presumably for the Old Master's security.
"I won't go in then. I suppose the Old Master should have specific arrangements for you."
"Hold on, I sent a message to Anying earlier, telling her to arrive here before eight. Have you seen her?"
