My brother entrusted his child to me, and I livestreamed raising the baby, making the Empress cry wi

Lin Ye didn't reply. His eyelids drooped slightly, as if he was thinking and pondering. In reality, a dark blue screen had quietly unfolded in his mind.

The system shop interface floated deep within my consciousness, currently displaying an item in a magnified form.

[Truth-Telling Charm: For the next half hour after use, the user will answer all questions heard and will only tell the truth. Required Shock Points: 10000.]

He immediately used his mind to click the exchange button and then took it out.

A palm-sized talisman appeared between his clasped hands.

Lin Ye gathered the slightly cool talisman paper tightly, took a step forward, and looked up at Lu Bai with a calm expression: "Let me give it a try."

Lu Bai had assumed Lin Ye was helpless when he saw him silent, and was glaring angrily at the black and green "security guard" with a displeased expression.

Hearing Lin Ye speak suddenly, he paused for a moment, then quickly stepped aside, saying, "President Lin, please!"

Lin Ye walked over, stopped in front of the "security guard," and looked down at him.

The man was tightly bound by the net rope, kneeling on the ground with his eyes closed. When he heard Lin Ye's footsteps approaching, he just snorted coldly, turned his head away, and acted as if he were a dead pig that didn't care about boiling water.

Lin Ye didn't speak, but bent down, tilted his shoulders slightly, leaned close to the person's ear, and moved his lips a few times, as if he were saying something.

In fact, Lin Ye didn't say anything.

He simply took the opportunity to stick the talisman on the person's back and then chose to use it.

The talisman disappeared immediately after use, as if it had never existed.

The security guard didn't notice anything amiss, only that someone was approaching.

He thought this person was going to attack him or continue to coerce and entice him, and was preparing to show his noble character of preferring death to surrender.

Did the person then turn around and leave?

He couldn't help but open his eyes and glance at her in confusion. She was really gone!?

Does that mean we've given up?

He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that once he got to the police station, his father and uncle would get him out.

Lin Ye took two steps back, dusted off non-existent dust from his hands, turned his head to look at Lu Bai, and slightly raised his chin: "Ask again."

Lu Bai blinked, looked at Lin Ye and then at the "security guard" on the ground, his expression a mixture of doubt and skepticism.

He licked his slightly dry lips and tentatively spoke again, "Hey, who sent you?"

The words had barely left his mouth—

The security guard's eyes widened suddenly.

Fear and disbelief mingled together in his pupils, forming a chaotic mess.

His mouth began to tremble violently, every muscle in his face was straining, his lips were twitching, and his chin was shaking like a motor.

But he couldn't control himself.

"I...I am..." His voice was forced out from deep in his throat, hoarse and rough, "I was sent by Meng Kang, the business manager of Shengheng!"

After he finished speaking, the entire warehouse remained silent for a full three seconds.

Even the security guard was stunned.

Immediately afterwards, the expression on his face turned into pure, extreme fear, and a bone-chilling cold seemed to rise from the depths of his soul, making him tremble all over.

Lu Bai looked at him in surprise, his eyebrows raised high.

He looked the "security guard" up and down, whose mouth had been as tight as a clam shell just moments before, his face clearly saying "I've seen a ghost."

"Hey!" Lu Bai couldn't help but exclaim, glancing back at Lin Ye. "Wasn't it a clam just now? How come it suddenly opened its shell?"

He recalled Lin Ye's earlier action of bending down and getting close to that person's ear—

Could it be that President Lin has some kind of dirty secret about him that he doesn't want anyone to know?

Lu Bai turned to Lin Ye with admiration: "As expected of President Lin, you really have the skills!"

Lin Ye chuckled and patted his shoulder, telling him to stop joking and continue asking questions.

Lu Bai then turned his attention back to what the "security guard" had just said.

However, Shengheng's business manager?

Lu Bai realized what was happening, and his brows furrowed instantly.

He was filled with doubt, and unconsciously scratched the back of his head with one hand, causing a tuft of hair to stick up.

"Sheng Heng?"

Her voice involuntarily rose a few octaves, "Isn't Sheng Heng supposed to be cooperating with us? What's the meaning of this?"

As he spoke, he squatted down, getting close to the "security guard's" face, and continued speaking, his spittle almost spraying onto the man's face:

"Explain yourself! Why is Shengheng's business manager targeting Xingcheng Precision? Is he just bored?"

The "security guard's" expression was beyond terrified.

His entire face was contorted, and his whole body was shaking like he was having an epileptic seizure, but he still couldn't control his mouth, and began to utter word by word:

"Meng Kang... he is... one of the largest shareholders of Langke Precision Manufacturing! Langke... Precision Manufacturing is a company he and my father own!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Bai, who was squatting on the ground, visibly froze for a moment.

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow slightly, and the corners of his mouth curved up a bit more than before.

Oh?

That's a pleasant surprise.

Netac Precision Manufacturing.

Of course he knew that name.

Langke can be considered the leader in the high-end precision manufacturing field in the entire Southern New Area.

When nearby tech companies look for manufacturers, their first choice is always Netac. Only small companies and small orders that Netac doesn't consider will slip through its fingers to other factories.

In the Southern New Area, Langke is completely dominant.

Lu Bai then asked him what his identity was.

The security guards have given up resisting.

To be more precise, he was completely out of strength to resist.

His mouth began to answer incessantly under Lu Bai's persistent questioning, as if he wanted to pour out all the words he had to say in his life at once.

This "security guard" is Meng Kang's nephew, and also the CEO of Langke, who ostensibly holds more than 80% of the shares.

Rondi's biological son.

This identity made him the next successor of Langke from birth, so he knew a lot about the company's inner workings.

He was obsessed with all kinds of spy movies since he was a child. While others watched "007" for entertainment, he used it as a teaching material.

The walls of his house were covered with posters of various spy movies, and his bedside table was always piled with books like "The Spy Training Manual" and "The Secret Operations Guide." His dream was to become a secret agent who carried out classified missions.

But you know what, he actually does have some talent.

He was particularly adept at evading surveillance cameras, his movements were as cunning as a real, trained secret agent.

He had volunteered to help Meng Kang with his affairs many times before, and Meng Kang couldn't refuse him. Moreover, he found that his nephew was indeed quite capable and had never gotten into trouble, so he let him do as he pleased.

He's done all sorts of things, like secretly photographing competitors' price lists and adulterating the raw materials in rival factories.

As Lu Bai's questions became more in-depth, the "agent" spilled out everything he knew, like pouring out beans.

Shengheng's headquarters are in Beijing. I heard that the capital behind them is very large and they keep a low profile. If Meng Kang hadn't become a business manager at Shengheng, he wouldn't have known about this.

The branch office in Nanxing City is a newly established branch this year, marking the first step in Shengheng's expansion into the south.

Because of Langke's renowned reputation, Sheng Heng actually came to see Langke's samples as soon as he arrived in Changsha.

At the time, he was quite satisfied. Although the contract had not yet been signed, Meng Kang already felt that the cooperation was a done deal.

He had already begun to dream about it—

Perhaps, Langke can even leverage this collaboration to expand its operations in Beijing...

But then, out of nowhere, a Cheng Yaojin appeared!
