“I thought you were eyeing our Butterfly Family’s ability!” Wang Songshan complained sourly.

“Your Butterfly Family only has more experience than my Charles Family. In terms of the average number of missions completed each year, we are not much worse than you!” Old Charles said, “How am I willing to entrust this to you?”

“Then you are willing to entrust it to my son-in-law? Haha, isn’t it the same?!” When it came to this, Wang Songshan couldn’t help but laugh.

Old Charles snorted, displeased. “Your son-in-law? I don’t think so necessarily! If I had a daughter, I would definitely snatch him from you. Ai , but I’m too old, it is not possible. I will tell my boy one of these days not to marry. He will become sworn brothers with Yang Ming! This is a good idea!”

“Your idea is really shameless.” Wang Songshan twitched his mouth disdainfully.

However, in any case, Wang Songshan was still pleased deep down in his heart. His daughter was really a blessing. It seemed that her decision to leave home was very correct. She not only found the apprentice of the King of Assassins as her boyfriend, but she even duped Old Charles his assassin family.

Hanging up the phone call with Old Charles, Wang Songshan once again dialed Fang Tian’s phone. He was going to ridicule that old brat, Fang Tian. Despite Fang Tian knowing the facts for so long, he did not tell Wang Songshan, making the relationship between Wang Songshan and his daughter, Wang Xiaoyan, to be so tense that it was only resolved today.

Fang Tian sat quietly on the rocking chair, sipping wine and looking at the small twenty-one-inch color TV on the table. Yang Ming and Dong Jun wanted to change it to a bigger TV several times for Fang Tian, but Fang Tian said that he was not used to watching it. He had watched this color TV for decades. He couldn’t get used to a bigger screen.

Since Fang Tian refused, Yang Ming and Dong Jun had no choice.

However, Fang Tian squinted. Although his eyes stayed on the TV, his mind was not on the TV. Yang Ming had mentioned all the strange things that happened recently to Fang Tian. The doubts in Fang Tian’s heart were even worse. It was just that everything was still his guess; he had no definite evidence. Fang Tian was not entirely sure who was behind the scene.

The phone rang, and Fang Tian picked it up. “Hello? Who is it?”

“Old Man Fang? Guess who I am?” Wang Songshan and Fang Tian could be described as old friends. When the two came together, they would always be somewhat childish which made many people stunned.

“Little Brat Wang? You are not dead yet?” Fang Tian heard the voice from the other side, and he knew who the caller was.

“I will only die after you.” Wang Songshan snorted indifferently. “I am one year younger than you.”

“It doesn’t matter. If you didn’t die before I died, I would have my apprentice kill you.” Fang Tian said faintly, “Isn’t that a good idea?”

“My son-in-law will kill me? Stop dreaming!” Wang Songshan sneered aloud, “Old Man Fang, did you already know that my daughter and Yang Ming got together?”

” Oh , you are talking about this? My apprentice has many women. Who knows which is your daughter?” Fang Tian narrowed his eyes and thought about how to piss Wang Songshan off, ” Oh , I got it. Is it that my apprentice dumped your daughter, so you are here to question me?”

“Bullsh*t, only your daughter will be dumped!” Wang Songshan was pissed off by Fang Tian. “I don’t want to waste time talking nonsense to you. Did you know about it long ago?”

“I knew it just recently. After Yang Ming merged with the Black Widow Assassin Group and formed the Black Butterfly Assassin Group, I only found out about it.” Fang Tian also became serious and spoke to Wang Songshan.

“D*mn, how is that you knew just recently? They were already in a relationship at that time!” Wang Songshan said, “Old Man Fang, you are really not authentic. You did not tell me despite knowing it all along?”

“Little Brat Wang, since you already knew when they were in a relationship, why are you questioning me?” Fang Tian grabbed Wang Songshan’s faulty wording and asked.

“This…” Wang Songshan was suddenly at a loss for words. After he put some thought into it, it was indeed true. It seemed that Tombstone also reported it to him at that time. He and Old Man Fang were even now.

“Alright, I don’t have time to talk nonsense with you; I have important things to think about here!” Fang Tian was impatient and wanted to hang up the phone. He and Wang Songshan often talked on the phone. When the two were young, they were like blood-sworn brothers, so there were not many pleasantries with each other.

“Is it still the same matter?” Wang Songshan also recovered a serious expression after listening.

“What else can it be? You should have heard that there were several assassination attempts on Wang Xiaoyan and Yang Ming, but they were all resolved,” said Fang Tian.

“Right, speaking of this, there is another matter. Previously, someone posted a mission to kill Yang Ming and his girlfriend…” Wang Songshan said, “It just happened recently, but the assassin recognized Yanyan’s identity.”

“Are you suspecting that it was done by one person?” asked Fang Tian.

“This is not the case. The person who posted the mission only gave some information on Yang Ming. He did not mention the information on Yanyan. He just asked us to kill Yang Ming’s girlfriend as an addition, so I think it should not be done by the same person.” Wang Songshan analyzed.

“Yeah, if it were really that person, his own power is enough. There is no need to hire an assassin.” Fang Tian said, “Since someone else is involved, you should check on your side to find out who issued the mission. You can’t help on my side; I can only rely on myself.”

” En , then I will not bother you; I will hang up first.” Wang Songshan also knew that matters had become serious, so he put away the joking tone previously and spoke solemnly.

In fact, Fang Tian had been watching silently on many things that happened to Yang Ming, but he did not intervene. On the one hand, he also wanted to train Yang Ming. On the other hand, it was because the current situation was unclear. It did not reach the point where Fang Tian had to intervene himself.

……

Bao Sanli didn’t know before he investigated. He was terrified once he did so!

First of all, there was a serious problem with Ming Yang Entertainment’s accounts! In the past few months, Ming Yang Entertainment, as the parent company of several businesses, should always be in a profitable state, but on paper, it was all in deficit! And the deficit was still very serious. They actually owed a lot of money to suppliers. It was more than one hundred thirty million yuan!

Bao Sanli looked at Guo Jianchao with a sour face. At this moment, Guo Jianchao was also nervous in his heart. He didn’t know what Bao Sanli would do when he was outraged.

Although Hou Zhenhan didn’t speak, his face was obviously ugly.

“What happened?” Bao Sanli slammed the account book in front of Guo Jianchao. “How can you owe so much money on the accounting? Nightless Club, International Hotel (formerly Wang Xifan’s business was modified into Song Jiang International Hotel), Tianjiao Entertainment City (Yang Ming’s uncle, Yang Dashan, had invested and founded it, but it was taken over by Bao Sanli due to poor management.) are very profitable businesses. They are full of customers every day. How can they lose money?”

“Brother Bao, I am sorry. I didn’t do my job well as the manager.” Guo Jianchao lowered his head, and at this moment, he could only hope that Bao Sanli would keep him alive.

“Didn’t do well? This isn’t as just as simple as not doing well, right?” Bao Sanli’s eyes were red! The money was not only his own money but Yang Ming’s money. When the money was gone, Yang Ming would think that he did not do his job well, and he would suffer a bitter end! Bao Sanli witnessed Yang Ming’s skills before, so how could he be in a good mood at the moment?

“Brother Bao, please punish me!” Guo Jianchao was somewhat helpless. However, he was the CEO of Ming Yang Entertainment. If something went wrong, he was responsible for it. Although he was not responsible for the money, it was still him as the commander who did a poor job and led to the company’s overall deficit!

“What is the use of punishing you? I am asking where the money went.” Bao Sanli snorted.

“Money… money is used to purchase essentials and office supplies in nightclubs and hotels. A while ago, the international hotel renovations also cost a lot of money.” Guo Jianchao said with caution.

“Bullsh*t! Would the purchase of necessities and decorations cost one hundred and thirty million yuan? Are you building a house?” Bao Sanli glared and scolded.

“This…” Guo Jianchao was somewhat helpless deep down in his heart. Although he was the CEO, the company’s financial power was in the hands of Liu Chan while Qu Daming was in charge of the purchasing department. Therefore, Guo Jianchao only had the company’s overall operation rights; a lot of actual power was divided.

However, Liu Chan and Qu Daming were Bao Sanli’s confidants. They followed Bao Sanli to conquer the world in the past. Guo Jianchao was like an outsider. Would Bao Sanli believe him if Guo Jianchao complained to him? If worst comes to worst, Guo Jianchao will get himself in lots of trouble.

“President Guo, just tell the truth! Why can’t you say it?” Guo Jianchao’s assistant was somewhat indignant. Seeing Guo Jianchao mumbling, he couldn’t help but interrupt.

“Little Wang, don’t talk nonsense.” Guo Jianchao glared at Little Wang. Little Wang wanted to fight against Guo Jianchao’s injustice. Guo Jianchao was still grateful deep down in his heart, but Little Wang was unclear about the relationship between Qu Daming, Liu Chan, and Bao Sanli! They had been through life and death together in their friendship!

” En ? You know the inside story?” Bao Sanli waved his hand and interrupted Guo Jianchao’s words, then said to Little Wang, “Quickly tell me about it; what the hell is going on!?”

“Brother Bao, it’s not that I am giving President Guo an excuse; it isn’t President Guo’s fault. President Guo did not have a say on certain things!” Little Wang said in a hurry. “Of course, as the main leader, President Guo has an unshirkable responsibility. It is true that President Guo has the power to make decisions, but he has no executive power!”

” Oh ?” Bao Sanli frowned and seemed to notice the words between the lines from Little Wang, but he still spoke in a rage, “He’s the CEO of the company. How is he unable to be in power?”

“Yeah, I also said that President Guo has the power to make decisions, but he has no executive power!” Little Wang said loudly without fear as he straightened up his chest. He was hand-picked by Guo Jianchao. From a small waiter to a foreman, he stepped into the company’s top management one step at a time. He was naturally grateful to Guo Jianchao.

“Then, tell me. What is having the right to decision-making without execution power?” Bao Sanli appreciated Little Wang’s courage to speak, but he was still annoyed by Little Wang contradicting his words.

“Brother Bao, President Guo is the CEO, but the company’s financial power is in Vice President Liu’s hands, and the power to purchase and the power on hotel renovation is in Vice President Qu’s hands. President Guo only has decision-making power. Those who have the power to execute is them…” At this point, Little Wang paused. He was somewhat reluctant to continue…

When Hou Zhenhan heard Little Wang’s words at the side, he faintly guessed something as the words came to this point. He waved his hand and said, “Little Wang, you go on!”

“Yes! Brother Hou!” Little Wang, with the encouragement from Hou Zhenhan, took a breath and continued, “Vice President Liu and Vice President Qu are the seniors in the company. They are those who strive to conquer the world with Brother Bao. They always agreed overtly but opposed in secret on President Guo’s orders. President Guo had no way to help with it!”

Little Wang’s words made Bao Sanli’s face more ugly, but he didn’t get angry because he believed what Little Wang said! Previously, he had heard the dissatisfaction about Liu Chan from Yang Ming’s mouth. Now, as Little Wang said this, Bao Sanli was more convinced that Little Wang was telling the truth!

Since Little Wang was just a small assistant, even if he wanted to crowd out Vice President Liu and Vice President Qu, there was no benefit to him. He would not become vice president!

Moreover, these words were not instructed by Guo Jianchao because this inspection was carried out by surprise. He did not tell Guo Jianchao in advance, but he rushed directly to the company. When the person at the front desk of the company told Guo Jianchao that he and Hou Zhenhan had come for inspection, Guo Jianchao did not have extra time to instruct anything.

“You are saying that these accounts are usually managed by Liu Chan and Qu Daming?” Bao Sanli stared at the books on the table and asked coldly.

“Yes!” Little Wang said in certainty as he raised his chest. Even though Bao Sanli could kill him at the moment, Little Wang didn’t care because he wanted to tell the truth; he wanted to defend Guo Jianchao! In the beginning, Guo Jianchao promoted him and prepaid his salary for one year, so that he would be able to send the college tuition fee to his sister in time. Therefore, Little Wang was very grateful to Guo Jianchao. He did not want Guo Jianchao to take the blame for Liu Chan and Qu Daming! Even if Bao Sanli didn’t believe it, he had to say it!

“Jianchao, is what he said really true?” Hou Zhenhan spoke up, staring at Guo Jianchao’s eyes.

“Yes, Brother Hou.” Guo Jianchao nodded.

“Why didn’t you say that previously?” asked Hou Zhenhan.

“Previously…” Guo Jianchao looked at Bao Sanli in a dilemma.

Bao Sanli suddenly felt embarrassed. He snorted and yelled at Guo Jianchao, “Call Liu Chan and Qu Daming!”

“Yes!” Guo Jianchao listened to Bao Sanli’s tone, and also knew that Bao Sanli believed what Little Wang said. He breathed a sigh of relief, and he even praised Little Wang’s cleverness! Bao Sanli would doubt it even if he said these words, but Bao Sanli would not be convinced on most of it. If worst comes to worst, Bao Sanli would think that he sowed dissension to frame the seniors in the company! Guo Jianchao picked up the internal telephone on his desk and dialed the secretary’s telephone number. “Secretary Song, can you help me inform Vice President Liu and Vice President Qu to come to my office!”

Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan didn’t talk, and the two sat quietly, waiting for Liu Chan and Qu Daming to come over to question them.

After a while, they didn’t hear anyone knocking on the door. Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan suddenly had some doubts. “Why is it so slow? Does your company only have such efficiency?”

Guo Jianchao could only smile bitterly at this moment.

Bao Sanli sighed. It seems that the company has reached the point where it has to be rectified! These two people have already taken this position to the point of not putting the company’s CEO in their eyes.

After a while, Bao Sanli and Hou Zhenhan were a little impatient, and the phone on Guo Jianchao’s desk rang.

“Hello?” Guo Jianchao quickly picked up the phone. “Secretary Song, how is it? Has Vice President Liu and Vice President Qu not come over yet? What? You did not see the two people after checking out the whole company? The security of the parking lot said that the two of them just drove out of the company? When did it happen? Okay… I got it!”

“What’s the matter?” Bao Sanli also heard the general situation; it seemed that Liu Chan and Qu Daming had fled.

“Just now, when you and Brother Hou came to the company, Vice President Liu and Vice President Qu went to the parking lot and drove away from the company…” said Guo Jianchao truthfully.

“Just now? Did you leak the news?” Bao Sanli frowned. “Did the two of them know that we were going to check the company’s accounts, so they fled?”

“I… I don’t know…” Guo Jianchao was immediately stunned. Now that the two of them fled, what could he do?

“Wait! We will talk later!” Hou Zhenhan stood up and began to check Guo Jianchao’s office carefully. Bao Sanli and Guo Jianchao did not know what Hou Zhenhan was doing, but since Hou Zhenhan had them wait for a while before they could speak, they also closed their mouths and looked at Hou Zhenhan in doubt.

In the end, Hou Zhenhan finally stopped his eyes at the chandelier in Guo Jianchao’s room! Hou Zhenhan stood on tiptoe slightly and took a black button-like object from the chandelier!

“Tapping device!” Bao Sanli was not unfamiliar with the item in Hou Zhenhan’s hand. He could notice it in a glance that it was a small tapping device!

Guo Jianchao and Little Wang simultaneously dropped their jaws widely; they did not expect that the CEO’s office was actually installed with a tapping device! They were not aware of it for so long!

Hou Zhenhan nodded. “Yes, it’s a tapping device! The conversation we just had was monitored, so Liu Chan and Qu Daming fled!”

Bao Sanli smashed his fist was on the table in rage. He didn’t expect that the mites of Ming Yang Entertainment were actually the two seniors who helped him conquer the world!

“Get me a city-wide search! I don’t believe that I can’t catch these two people!” Bao Sanli took out his mobile phone in hatred to call his own men and give the instruction to do a search in the city for Liu Chan and Qu Daming!

Having said that, Bao Sanli saw the tapping device in the hands of Hou Zhenhan and quickly stopped the action of dialing in his hand. Then, he pointed at the tapping device in Hou Zhenhan’s hand, asking whether the tapping device was still working or not.
