Wang Jianguo, always a keen observer, shook his head and said with certainty:

"Although that person was disguised, I could sense a kindred spirit from our hometown."

Ye Tian was taken aback, his eyes instantly sharpening like drawn blades, and he asked in a deep voice:

"Same kind? From the same hometown? From the Big Circle Gang?"

Wang Jianguo nodded and said in a solemn tone:

"It's always better to be safe than sorry."

However, to their complete surprise, the person whom Wang Jianguo referred to as one of their kind walked straight towards their car.

The man raised his hands high, palms outstretched, indicating that he was not carrying any weapons and had no malicious intent. He walked very slowly.

Ye Tian lowered the car window, revealing his rugged face, his sharply defined jawline taut.

The man looked at Ye Tian with a complex expression, as if he had a thousand unspoken words, and said respectfully:

"Brother Tian, ​​this is Big Circle Leopard. I have a business deal I'd like to discuss with you."

Without saying a word, Ye Tian opened the car door and said in a calm tone:

"Let's talk on the bus."

The leopard involuntarily took a step back, its eyes filled with astonishment, as if it had witnessed something unbelievable.

He had considered every possible reaction Ye Tian might have upon seeing him: wariness, disdain, or even direct confrontation.

But he never expected that Ye Tian would let him get in the car so readily, without any warning, as if he were treating an old friend.

Looking at his expression, Ye Tian said somewhat speechlessly:

"I know who you are, and I mean you no harm, so what are you afraid of?"

"Jianguo said that you are his kind, that you both come from the same hometown, so there's no need to be a stranger."

Big Circle Leopard gave Ye Tian a deep look, hesitated for a moment, and finally opened the passenger door and got in, his movements somewhat hesitant.

Fang Ting was very clever and obedient. She knew that this was definitely not the time for her, a woman, to speak. So she sat quietly in the back seat, not saying a word, and even her breathing became soft.

Wang Jianguo glanced at the large Leopard in the passenger seat, then turned to Ye Tian and asked in a deep voice:

"Boss, where shall we talk?"

Ye Tian shrugged and said casually:

"According to my standards for entertaining distinguished guests, we should of course return to the Peak Mansion on Victoria Peak, but the choice is in the guests' hands."

"Do you want to come back to my private residence with me, or go to my office in Causeway Bay, or somewhere else you consider safe? The choice is yours."

Wang Jianguo couldn't help but glance at the large Leopard in the passenger seat, his eyes filled with surprise.

This was the first time the boss had ever taken someone he had just met back to his own private residence. This kind of treatment was not something that ordinary people could receive; it was like a silent sign of trust.

The leopard looked on in astonishment, staring at Ye Tian, ​​and couldn't help but ask:

"Do you really know who I am? Do you know my background?"

Ye Tian glanced at him with some impatience, his eyes languid, and said in a nonchalant tone:

"You used the alias Big Leopard to make your way in the underworld in Hong Kong, but your real identity is Captain Shi Weiguo of the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Bureau."

"Do you need me to be more specific? Like, the cases you handled back in your hometown?"

The carriage fell into a deathly silence; even the air seemed to freeze.

Fang Ting and Wang Jianguo stared wide-eyed at the giant leopard, their faces filled with disbelief and their mouths slightly agape.

The leopard's face was also filled with surprise. He looked at Ye Tian, ​​his lips moved as if he had something to say, but after a long while, he asked bitterly:

"Mr. Ye, how...how did you find out? I'm sure my disguise was flawless."

Ye Tian leaned back in his chair, his expression calm, his tone somewhat languid, as if he were talking about a trivial matter:

"There aren't actually many things in this world that I don't know."

Big Circle Leopard curled his lip, inwardly thinking: He really got away with it.

But he couldn't help but admire Ye Tian's intelligence capabilities; they were truly terrifying, like an all-encompassing net from which nothing could escape.

This was his first time traveling in Hong Kong as the "Big Circle Leopard." Even when he met people before, he had never revealed this nickname, and others did not know his true identity, only that he was a "special envoy."

Ye Tian looked at him and asked with a half-smile:

"Captain Shi, have you thought it through? Where do you want to talk?"

Big Circle Leopard quickly waved his hand, his tone somewhat restrained:

"Don't call me by my title, just call me Leopard. Here, I'm just Big Leopard, not Captain Shi."

Ye Tian chuckled, his tone tinged with amusement:

"Leopards are incredibly fierce. Recently, the leopard in Dongxing is preparing to eat its own people. It certainly has a big appetite."

The big-circled leopard wanted to press for more information, but after thinking it over, he swallowed his words. He looked at Ye Tian and said respectfully:

"Then I'll take my leave of you, Mr. Ye. Please come to your private residence."

Ye Tian nodded and instructed Wang Jianguo:

"go home!"

Wang Jianguo nodded steadily, started the car, and drove towards Taiping Mountain. The wheels made a smooth sound as they rolled over the road.

The Guangdong Provincial Public Security Bureau sounds impressive, but Wang Jianguo is a wounded veteran who retired from the military, someone who joined the security company through legitimate recruitment, and his boss, Ye Tian, ​​clearly has the upper hand in terms of presence.

Wang Jianguo drove steadily without the slightest panic, his eyes focused intently on the road ahead.

Thirty minutes later, the car slowly drove into the mansion atop Victoria Peak, and the iron gate slowly opened, as if welcoming the distinguished guest.

Fang Ting obediently went to the kitchen to make tea, brought it to the coffee table in the living room, and then sat quietly next to Ye Tian without saying a word, like a docile kitten.

Hong Kong and Taiwan have very traditional customs, with men working outside the home and women managing the household, and the division of labor is very clear.

Ye Tian took out a box of slim cigars, tossed one to Wang Jianguo and one to Big Circle Leopard, and lit one for himself, a look of slight regret on his face:

"These are cigars I snatched from that guy, Liang Kun. They cost a hundred dollars each, and I only have three left. You'd better smoke them sparingly."

Big Circle Leopard, holding a cigar, looked at Ye Tian in disbelief and couldn't help but ask:

"Mr. Ye, you're a billionaire, why would you care about a mere cigar?"

Ye Tianshi nodded earnestly and said:

"Of course I care! This isn't just any ordinary cigar; I snatched it from Liang Kun. It's all about the pure enjoyment, it's different!"

He turned to Fang Ting and instructed her, his tone carrying a hint of admonition:

"Tingting, remember to remind me when you go to see your godmother tomorrow, so I don't forget."

Fang Ting obediently agreed and nodded, her eyes filled with anticipation.

The big-circled leopard watched the interaction between the two, remained silent for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Mr. Ye's house is really spacious and impressive. I wonder if I could have a look around? It would be good to broaden my horizons."

Ye Tian understood immediately. He knew that the big leopard's excuse of visiting was just that—an excuse to find a quiet place to discuss serious matters. It was like an unspoken understanding between them.

He stood up, gestured for the large circle leopard to proceed, and said in a calm tone:

"Alright, then I'll take you to see my study; it's quieter there."

The so-called "visiting the study" is just an excuse that everyone knows the real reason.

The two simply wanted to find a place where no one else was around to talk, and everyone present knew that.

Ye Tian led the giant leopard to the study on the second floor. The giant leopard followed behind him without any objection, and its steps were very light.

As soon as Ye Tian entered the study, he turned around, looked at the large circle leopard, and said in a tone that was neither a smile nor a frown:

"Ah Bao, you've really given me a 'good gift'. I'm just thinking about whether I should use domestic channels to report what you've done."

The leopard's face changed instantly, as if he had been doused with cold water. His eyes filled with panic, and he hurriedly waved his hands, explaining in an urgent tone:

"Mr. Ye, this was purely an accident, it has nothing to do with me!"
