You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

The following morning.

Lin Chen took the test results that Jiang Tingxue had rushed out overnight and drove directly to the headquarters of the Ye Group.

Conventional police investigations are too slow. When it comes to high-end industrial materials of military grade, the police system can often only find publicly known compliant companies.

If it really comes down to investigating dark web transactions or private circulation, Ye Qingcheng's vast business intelligence network is more useful than anything else.

The RS7 drove directly into the Yip Group's underground VIP garage.

Lin Chen took a private elevator directly to the top floor.

When the secretaries and assistants in the top-floor office area saw Lin Chen walking over, they all bowed their heads to greet him, not daring to stop him.

Everyone knows that Mr. Lin is not only the highest decision-maker in the entire security system of the Ye Group, but also invested 30 million yuan to subscribe to the group's new energy project, making him a true core shareholder.

Not to mention that every time he came, the usually aloof CEO Ye's mood would visibly improve.

Lin Chen walked to the door of the president's office, and without even knocking, he pushed the door open and went in.

Ye Qingcheng was sitting in a large boss's chair reviewing documents.

Today she wore an extremely fitted black haute couture business suit, with a white silk shirt underneath, the neckline slightly open, revealing her defined collarbone.

The bodycon skirt accentuated the curves of her lower body, her long legs were crossed, and she wore a pair of pointed black high heels.

Hearing the door open, Ye Qingcheng looked up.

The moment she saw it was Lin Chen, the icy aura on her face melted away.

She put down the custom-made solid gold fountain pen in her hand, stood up, walked straight to the office door, and locked the heavy solid wood door with a "click".

Before Lin Chen could speak, Ye Qingcheng turned around, grabbed his tie, and forcefully pressed him down onto the large leather sofa in the center of the office.

Immediately afterwards, she straddled Lin Chen's lap with her long legs.

The tips of her high heels lightly brushed against Lin Chen's calves. Ye Qingcheng hooked her arms around Lin Chen's neck, leaned forward, and her nose almost touched his.

The air was filled with the cool and alluring scent of Chanel No. 5.

"Advisor Lin, you don't come to the temple without a reason."

Ye Qingcheng's voice was very low, carrying a kind of languor and desire for control unique to those in a position of power.

"What brings you here to check up on me today?"

Lin Chen leaned back on the sofa, his hands naturally encircling her slender waist.

He activated [God-level Micro-expression Control], a wicked smile curving his lips as his gaze swept down her exquisite face.

"I've come to Mr. Ye to make a deal."

Lin Chen's fingers gently caressed the fabric around her waist.

"I'll trade my body for some information."

Ye Qingcheng paused for a moment, a hint of fanaticism flashing in her eyes.

She lowered her head and kissed Lin Chen's lips fiercely.

The kiss was extremely aggressive, carrying her usual domineering and unyielding nature.

But how could Lin Chen be suppressed by a woman? His hand moved up her back, cupped the back of her head, and instantly took the initiative, deepening the kiss.

The office was so quiet that only the sound of their breathing could be heard.

Five minutes later.

Ye Qingcheng released Lin Chen breathlessly, her cheeks flushed with an alluring blush.

She got off Lin Chen's lap, straightened her slightly disheveled shirt collar, and resumed her aloof CEO demeanor, though the moisture in her eyes betrayed her earlier emotional state.

"Speak, what do you want to investigate?"

Ye Qingcheng walked to her desk, picked up her water glass, and took a sip.

Lin Chen sat up straight, took the test report out of his pocket, and threw it on the coffee table.

"Nano-silver carbon nanotube composite coating"

Lin Chen uttered the tongue-twisting name.

"Search the entire East China region for laboratories or companies capable of synthesizing this material."

"Focus on investigating companies that have recently experienced large fund flows or have unusual outflow records."

Ye Qingcheng picked up the test report and glanced at it, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly.

"Silver nanotubes? Honey, you've come to the right person."

Ye Qingcheng walked to the computer and her fingers flew across the keyboard, bringing up an internal business database.

"The synthesis process of this material is extremely demanding and the cost is outrageously high. In the entire East China region, there are no more than three laboratories with the equipment and technology to produce this material."

The names and information of three companies popped up on the screen.

Ye Qingcheng's gaze locked onto one of the companies, and her slender fingers tapped on the screen.

Xinghai New Materials Technology Co., Ltd.

What's wrong with this company?

Lin Chen walked over, stood behind her, and looked at the data on the screen.

"This is a big problem."

Ye Qingcheng sneered and pulled up another business report.

"This company, Xinghai New Materials, recently had an extremely serious business dispute with the deceased Mr. Wang."

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed.

"Wang Defa started his business in new energy batteries."

"His latest flagship solid-state battery project has received a large subsidy from the city and is poised to monopolize the entire new energy public transportation system supply chain in Jiangcheng City."

Ye Qingcheng explained.

"Xinghai New Materials was originally a core supplier in this supply chain, but in order to reduce costs, Wang Defa unilaterally tore up the betting agreement with Xinghai and turned to support another inferior materials factory."

Ye Qingcheng turned her head and looked at Lin Chen.

"President Wang's move directly caused Xinghai New Materials' funding chain to break, and the billions of yuan invested in research and development in the early stage were all wasted."

"A week ago, Xinghai's chairman even made a harsh statement, saying that Wang Defa would pay the price."

Lin Chen looked at the legal entity information of "Xinghai New Materials" on the screen.

The motivation is there.

They've acquired the skills.

The artificially induced thunderstorm on the golf course, and the conductive coating on the golf clubs, are definitely not something an ordinary person could handle.

Xinghai New Materials, a company with top-notch laboratories, is fully capable of possessing such technological capabilities.

Where is this company's R&D center located?

Lin Chen asked.

"Building 14 in Block B of the High-tech Zone Science Park, the entire building belongs to them, and there are three underground core laboratories. The security level is extremely high."

Ye Qingcheng sent the address to Lin Chen's phone.

Looking at Lin Chen's cold profile, she knew what he was going to do next.

"Do you need me to deploy the Ye family's security team to assist you?"

Ye Qingcheng asked.

"Need not."

Lin Chen put his phone back in his pocket.

"With too many people around, it's easy to alert them. I'll go and investigate myself."

Lin Chen turned around and prepared to leave.

When he reached the door, he stopped and turned to look at Ye Qingcheng.

"Does your 30 million yuan investment in the new energy project have any connection with Mr. Wang's scheme?"

"no."

Ye Qingcheng raised her chin with extreme confidence.

"The projects that I, Ye Qingcheng, have my eye on don't need to snatch other people's leftovers. Wang Defa's short-sighted approach will eventually destroy him. I just didn't expect him to die in such a creative way."

Lin Chen smiled, pushed open the door, and walked out of the CEO's office.

He glanced at the time on his wrist. Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Xinghai New Materials.

Tonight, I'll go and meet this "god" who can control lightning.
