Foreign powers were naturally unwilling to accept this. After all, they had been planning for so long, only to have their plans ruined by a sudden figure in charge of a special agency. How could they possibly give up this hard-won opportunity?

"What a special person in charge of the Special Bureau. No matter what, this person in charge is always a major threat to us. If we just let him go like this, it won't be a good thing for us in the Special Bureau."

"But I heard he's quite capable, and he has other helpers around him. Starting with him is obviously not the best option. Perhaps we can try to start with the old man, since he doesn't have many people around him anymore."

"The old man has thwarted our plans multiple times and abandoned our cooperation. It seems he doesn't want any contact with us anymore. Since he can't be used by us, let's not keep him around."

At that moment, the old man was unaware that he was being watched. He was still dealing with other matters, knowing that many things were still ongoing and that he needed to continue his efforts.

"After we delivered the message to Feng Tianci, he agreed to cooperate with us, but we can't be too weak. If we are too weak, he might not choose us as his partners. If that happens, it might ruin our original intentions."

"Yes, we chose to cooperate with him at the time, and he agreed. But if we keep making trouble like this, he might not only turn against us on this matter, but he might also go against us many times."

The old man decided to cultivate his own talent, and after issuing several orders, he also felt that he was getting old.

Some things shouldn't be done too forcefully. Just saying a few words made him feel like he was leaning forward and backward, as if he might fall at any moment.

"Alright, you all go and do your best. I can't keep going any further. I'm going back to rest. Remember, if anything happens, you must report to me immediately. Don't handle it on your own, or you won't be able to bear the consequences."

Under the old man's warning, they all said they would keep it in mind and would never disobey.

"Don't worry, sir, we will definitely carry out your orders."

The old man had been too busy lately, so after going out, he decided to go to a nearby teahouse, since he hadn't had tea in a long time.

He knew that he wasn't usually that enthusiastic about tea, but even when he didn't drink it, he always felt a little bit of longing for it.

"Bring me a pot of black tea, and some pastries as well."

In the past, the old man didn't like to eat pastries when drinking tea.

However, after meeting Feng Tianci, the old man noticed that the young man liked to eat pastries and had tea with Feng Tianci several times, so he got used to it.

When the old man asked for pastries, the waiter happily went to get them.

After all, the old man always brings a pot of tea when he comes, but now that he's adding pastries, the cost will definitely increase.

So they were naturally happy, and seeing the waiter so pleased, the old man couldn't help but laugh.

What's there to be happy about? He just asked for an extra pastry. It seems that being a low-level worker is really not easy.

After receiving the pastries, the old man glanced to the side and noticed something was amiss. He hadn't expected anyone to be following him, and it seemed they had been following him all the way from his workplace. He hadn't realized he had a little tail following him, and one that wasn't so easy to shake off.

The old man was just feeling troubled, wondering when exactly this thing had followed him.

He didn't find anything, and the fact that the other party kept following him suggests they might have other motives.

"Old man, you're here for tea too?"

Feng Tianci sat opposite the old man. Ever since the old man came in, Feng Tianci's people had received news that the old man was not accompanied by anyone, but by someone else.

Feng Tianci realized that something might be wrong, so he rushed over here as fast as he could.

When he arrived, he immediately realized something was wrong.

"Why did you come here? Aren't you busy at the Special Bureau? How come you have time to come and have tea with me? In my opinion, you definitely won't have time to come recently, and you really shouldn't have come at this time."

The old man was speaking meaningfully, his eyes fixed on the man opposite him. Feng Tianci clearly knew what the old man was talking about, so he turned his head and stared at the man wearing a baseball cap opposite him.

"So what? You're being followed by a little tail, so of course I had to come and check on you. Besides, this little tail is a bit too obvious. Go back and tell your master that if the old man wants to make a move, he won't have a chance."

After Feng Tianci finished speaking, the man was clearly stunned. He had not expected Feng Tianci to be so frank and open, leaving no room for negotiation whatsoever.

Furthermore, they can't do these kinds of things openly.

But now Feng Tianci's words made them realize that if they wanted to take action against the old man, they had to get past Feng Tianci first.

"Why are you protecting an old man? Besides, we have a grudge against him. Protecting him like this is disrespectful to us."

The man gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment as he looked at Feng Tianci. He made it very clear that Feng Tianci yawned. Did he need a reason to protect someone?

"Since we are partners, we will absolutely not let you ruin our cooperation. Alright, get back now. I won't lay a hand on you for now, but if I find out next time, don't blame me for being impolite."

After the other person left, Feng Tianci patted the old man on the shoulder.

“It seems it’s not safe to go back. There might be people lying in ambush along the way. Here’s what we’ll do: you go to the Special Bureau to rest. At least you’re safe tonight. Be more careful when you go out in the future. Look, you were being followed without even knowing it. If this happens again, I’m not sure I can save you.”

After Feng Tianci spoke, the old man had no choice but to agree. He had originally planned to go back, but it seemed he couldn't now. He could only call the nanny and remind her to feed the turtle.

"The situation is already very serious. Even I'm being followed. You need to be careful. They might not be reasonable when they attack. Your safety is your top priority." (End of Chapter)
