Chapter 53: The Company’s Plan (Part Two)

Seeing the document bag, Wu Yu raised an eyebrow and ignored Old Xu.

Noticing that the seal executed with a special technique on the back was still glowing with a faint blue light, he nodded and said, "Alright then, I'll be heading back first. If there's anything else, we'll keep in touch by phone!"

"Leaving? Just like that? Why don't you just open it here and take a look?" Old Xu looked at the document bag in Wu Yu's hand with genuine curiosity. "This is the branch director's office of the Shanghai Toishan, absolutely safe and reliable!"

He had been involved in the founding of Toishan firsthand, and ninety percent of the company's secrets were crystal clear to him. The remaining ten percent belonged to the Special Investigation Division. He hadn't felt much about it in the past.

But now, he increasingly felt that this department was far from simple, keeping even him in the dark!

"Old man, the very first thing you taught me when I joined Toishan... Curiosity killed the cat!" With that, Wu Yu stood up and turned to leave the office directly.

He pulled the door shut with such immense force that the glass pane shattered into pieces.

Although he hadn't uttered a harsh word, his expression was even uglier than when he first walked in, and the ready-to-unleash sword qi within his body seemed as if it would erupt at any second for a fierce battle.

This left the extraordinary individuals working in the warehouse walking on eggshells, terrified that they might do something wrong, catch Wu Yu's eye, and bring trouble upon themselves.

Up on the second floor, Old Xu grinned broadly at the sight, admiring how such a young Wu Yu possessed such exquisite acting skills and left no loose ends in his actions!

However, when his eyes landed on the bag of tea leaves left on the table, his eyes immediately lit up!

"Good grief, could that little fox have forgotten it? Hahaha, that really is a windfall for this old man!" As he spoke, he reached out to pick it up.

Yet, feeling the completely empty bag, his anger flared up instantly: "Executing a switcheroo under the guise of the familiar... Hey... What a crafty brat!"

Meanwhile, sitting in his car, Wu Yu hastily pulled a porcelain bottle out of his zither case, carefully poured the tea leaves into it, and grinned broadly: "You old fox, little grand-uncle here is going to drive you mad with rage!"

Since the matter here was settled, Wu Yu didn't linger. He drove straight back to Hangzhou and parked in the backyard of the Landscape Residence.

"Damn, bro, are you finally dropping the act of hiding your identity as a second-generation wealthy heir?" Looking at the sharp-edged Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Wu Tianzhen was practically drooling.

"No, do you really have to be like this?" Wu Yu looked at Wu Tianzhen, torn between laughter and tears. "It's not like you can't afford one. Why are you crying poor to me!"

Looking across the three branches of the Wu family, not a single one was short of money. He simply couldn't understand why Tianzhen lived such a miserable and penny-pinching life.

"You saying that makes it sound like I'm filthy rich." Wu Tianzhen rolled his eyes.

"Take it for a spin if you want, but fill it up with gas for me!" Wu Yu tossed the keys to Wu Tianzhen and turned back into the house.

Must admit, everything needed was fully prepared inside the room this time; it seemed Wu Tianzhen had prepared well in advance.

Hearing the engine sound fade into the distance outside, Wu Yu retrieved the document bag from his zither case.

The special seal on the bag ensured that it wouldn't suffer even the slightest damage. The moment it was tampered with by a fraction, it would immediately burn to ashes, guaranteeing the absolute secrecy of the confidential information inside.

As for the method of unlocking it, it was different for every special investigator.

Wu Yu gently traced the patterns on the seal with his finger, pointed into empty air, and a sword formed from inner energy gently swept across.

"Puff!"

The seal on the bag gradually dissipated, revealing the contents inside.

To be precise, it was a pass!

He glanced over the contents; roughly speaking, it granted him permission to travel to the Taiwan Province, and relevant departments would be notified to grant unhindered passage, ensuring he would not face obstruction in the Taiwan Province.

"Killing two birds with one stone!" Wu Yu muttered as he lay on the bed. "As expected of Chairman Zhao, these old foxes!"

Meanwhile, the moment Wu Yu opened the document bag, a man in a room within Beijing opened his eyes, looked at the star-studded chart before him, and nodded: "You may report to Chairman Zhao. Wu Yu has accepted the mission."

"Understood." A dark shadow flashed in the corner and then vanished from the room.

At the Toishan Beijing Headquarters, Chairman Zhao, who was presiding over a video conference, issued a stern order: "I don't care what the cost is, this egregious incident must be dealt with severely! No matter who the perpetrators are or what background they have, since they dare to provoke our Toishan, they must pay the most brutal price!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"..."

The other directors nodded upon hearing this; there was no room for negotiation regarding this matter whatsoever.

Even the branch director who held down the fort had been assassinated; would they, the board members, be next?

Therefore, this was naturally something they could not tolerate.

"Report!"

"Come in!" Chairman Zhao raised his head to look at the person entering. "Any news?"

"Yes, Wu Yu has accepted the mission." The newcomer nodded.

"Alright, you may leave!" Chairman Zhao waved his hand. After the person departed, he spoke up: "Sending Wu Yu to the Taiwan Province this time can also be considered a test!"

"Killing two birds with one stone, old Zhao. Not only can we see whether he was the one who made a move, but we can also thoroughly investigate that Blade Wind and Blade Ghost!"

"However, are we really certain this wasn't Wu Yu's doing? After all, Hangzhou and Shanghai are too close. If it really were him, with his methods, he should have been able to keep it from us!" another director asked with concern.

"We can be certain of this. At the time, he was busy handling affairs for the Nine Gates; we are all well aware of that," another director chimed in. "Instead, my current concern is the issue with the Nine Gates. The plan they formulated back then is proceeding far too slowly. By the time it's executed, who knows what state things will be in!"

"Hmph, hmph. That's precisely why old Zhao is sending Wu Yu out, isn't it?" Another director suddenly chuckled.

"That old bastard Wang Zanghai's schemes back then almost overturned all the dragon veins, leading to utter devastation and endless disasters for the common people. The Wang family must bear this debt!" Chairman Zhao puffed on a cigar and said sternly, "Since they want to play like rats, let the Nine Gates stir him up properly! How is the auction at the New Moon Hotel coming along?"

"Everything is ready. Even that old bastard J.D. Howard has set foot in the mainland again," a shareholder laughed. "I just don't know how much genuine fire remains in this last Kirin of the final generation!"

"Tap, tap, tap!" Chairman Zhao tapped his fingers on the table. "The Zhang family has rendered great service to this country and its people. No matter what, the safety of this last Kirin must be safeguarded! At the same time, as the final bloodline key of the Zhang family, there must not be any accidents. Do you understand?"

"I don't care what petty schemes you might harbor; none of that matters to me. But when it comes to matters of principle and bottom lines, whoever crosses them shouldn't blame old Zhao for being heartless." With that, Chairman Zhao directly hung up the video call and silently raised his head to gaze out the window.

"Great chaos is about to begin!"
