Let them offer their loyalty

Tears sparkled in Ye Hua's eyes: "I know that just apologizing is not enough, but please give me a chance to prove that I have changed."

Yue Yan suddenly stood up, her voice full of determination: "Ye Hua, you no longer have a chance. I will not be deceived by your words again. Everything you have done is enough to make me stay away from you."

Suddenly, Ye Hua's face looked cold and hard under the dim light of the bar. She stared straight at Yue Yan with a hint of unquestionable threat, and her tears disappeared immediately.

"Yueyan, I'll give you one last chance." Ye Hua's voice was low and cold: "If you still have a little gratitude towards Longcheng, it's best to give out the organization behind you. This is not just a suggestion, it's a warning."

The threat in her words was obvious, as if she was announcing an invisible pressure.

"You should know that I have the ability and determination to reveal everything."

Ye Hua continued, her words full of power that could not be ignored: "This is your last chance, Yue Yan, don't make me repeat myself, who is the one who is asking you to do these things, is it Jonas?"

Yue Yan was amused by Ye Hua's threat. Her laughter sounded sharp and sarcastic in the dim bar, and her expression was full of disdain and anger.

"You are so ridiculous, Ye Hua." Yue Yan's laughter was full of obvious sarcasm: "Who do you think you are? Coming here to give me orders, you are so arrogant."

Ye Hua's brows were furrowed, but she did not respond. She just stood there quietly, waiting for Yue Chen to continue speaking.

Yue Qian stood up, her eyes full of contempt: "Do you really think your threats can scare me? What do you think you are doing? In my opinion, you are nothing but a pitiful creature."

She was really blind to treat her as a friend.

Ye Hua remained silent, but her expression gradually became cold and hard.

"You know what?" Yue Qian continued to mock, "You really should go see a doctor to see if there's something wrong with your brain. You act like a lunatic by doing this here."

Ye Hua's body tensed slightly, but she still didn't respond.

Yue Qian sneered, her voice full of disdain: "To me, your behavior is like a mental illness, you idiot. You think what you have done is so great, but in fact you are just deceiving yourself. I don't know what you have done wrong or what disease you have, but I have to bear this inexplicable hat."

Ye Hua took a deep breath and responded calmly: "I don't need to defend your opinion. I only care about the facts and revealing the truth."

"The truth is that your stupid paranoia has come back again. You are just like a brain-dead idiot. Didn't the big sister say something harsh about you? You don't believe me, and you don't believe her either? Are you..."

Before he finished speaking, Yue Yan caught a glimpse of doubt on Ye Hua's face. Although it was very brief, it was real.

"You really don't even believe in Big Sister?"

Yue Qian was so angry that she almost laughed.

Everyone who has been to the Sword Holder knows that although Ji Yeling has a bad temper, is sometimes prone to anger and occasionally slacks off, she is very good to her subordinates, the clerical staff and herself, the Sword Holders, whether they are poor or civilians. At least in Longcheng, if they go to other places, they may not survive.

"No, I didn't, I just..."

"That's enough. From now on, don't let me see you. If you appear in front of me once, I will beat you! Do you hear me?"

Yue Qian waved her fist viciously and slammed the cup onto the table: "Give her a glass of the worst wine, it's my treat!"

After saying that, she walked out without even looking at Ye Hua.

Just as Ye Hua was about to leave the bar, a sudden mocking voice broke the tense silence. A drunk customer stood up, his voice full of obvious disappointment and provocation: "What's going on? Why didn't you fight? You two losers!"

Ye Hua stopped walking, her heart beating rapidly in her chest, all eyes turned to the drunk, the atmosphere suddenly became more tense, Ye Hua turned around and faced the loud guest, her hands shaking slightly.

Being humiliated, not getting any intelligence, and all the emotions that came from knowing that Longcheng was being played by an invisible big hand, all piled up to the limit.

She took a deep breath, trying to control her emotions, and then gritted her teeth: "Sir, I advise you to shut up, you don't know what you are talking about."

The drunk man didn't seem to care about Ye Hua's warning. He responded mockingly: "Oh, it seems someone is angry. What will you do? Shoot me?"

There was a dangerous light in Ye Hua's eyes. She slowly took out a gun from her pocket, but did not fire. Instead, she aimed it at the drunk. The other guests in the bar began to feel uneasy. Some talked in low voices, while others quietly walked towards the exit.

"You don't want to make things worse." Ye Hua's voice was low and threatening: "I don't want to cause trouble. Now, I suggest you sit down and shut up."

The drunk seemed to be getting better, but he still tried to maintain a bit of arrogance: "Oh, that's terrible, you really dare to shoot?"

Ye Hua's hand remained firmly on the gun, her eyes cold: "I don't want to repeat myself again. Sit down, or I will take action."

"Ha ha......"

"boom!"

Ye Hua pulled the trigger and the bullet hit her right between the eyebrows. Then, with the background sound of drunks falling down and shouting, she walked out of the bar.

Ye Hua quickly left the bar and found a relatively quiet place. She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and opened the communicator to contact her senior. The screen of the communicator showed a connecting sign, and soon the senior's voice came over.

"Yehua, what's wrong?"

Jonas's voice came through indistinctly, but soon returned to normal.

"Senior, I found Yue Yan." Ye Hua said with a bit of disappointment in his tone: "I tried my best to persuade her, hoping that she could provide some information, but I still failed. Now I am almost certain that Yue Yan is a member of that organization."

"I'm sorry, I should have taken action directly, but I still hold on to the last bit of hope, and she is now openly an agent of the Sword Wielder, so I can't do it."

Jonas was silent for a while, then replied, "This situation is indeed complicated. Yue Qian's position has always been elusive. I thought she might have just been misunderstood, but now it seems that it is 100% certain."

He almost laughed out loud.

He didn't expect that there would be a direct conflict. He thought he couldn't find it, but he did find it. However, they had a fight and their relationship became even worse.

How to say it...

It's really hard to evaluate.

Ye Hua stood on the street, the voice of the communicator still echoing in her ears, and the concern of her predecessors made her feel a little warm.

She is not alone, there are still people standing on her side.

"By the way, Yehua," the senior's voice sounded very real with a hint of worry: "During the confrontation between you and Yueqian, there was no physical conflict between you, right? You were not injured, right?"

Ye Hua shook her head gently. Although the senior couldn't see it, a hint of smile was revealed in her voice: "No, senior, we didn't have a physical conflict. I'm fine."

Jonas breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. In this situation, it is crucial to stay calm. No matter what happens, we must not lose our minds. Remember, protecting yourself is the most important thing."

What if both of them get too excited and have to decide who is better and who lives or dies today? That would be a real headache.

This was the plot development he didn't want to see.

"Send me the address where you met her, and I'll pick a time to investigate it carefully."

Ye Hua nodded, understanding her senior's intention. She quickly recalled the place where she and Yue Yan were meeting, and then clearly reported the address.

"Senior, the place where we meet is in a small bar in a remote area. The address is..." Ye Hua provided detailed location information.

"Okay, I got it. I will find a suitable time to investigate the area and see if I can find any connection between Yue Qian and the organization behind her."

"Thank you, senior. This may be very helpful for our investigation. Please be careful. People from that organization may also be keeping an eye on this place."

"Don't worry, I will be careful. In this case, we need as much information as possible to piece together the whole situation. Go back and rest now. Keep your energy. If there are any new discoveries, I will inform you as soon as possible."

"Okay, senior, I'll keep in touch."

Ye Hua hung up the call and let out a slow breath.

This feeling that even if she is against the whole world and carrying the truth that only she knows, there are still people by her side greatly strengthened her determination to bring the mastermind behind the scenes to justice.

It feels so good to have someone behind me.

Jonas hung up the phone and let out a slow breath.

It feels like you're amusing a fool without having to buy melon seeds for him.

so good.

Chapter 620: It turns out that the traitor is you!

The sunlight shines through the glass windows and shines on every corner of the viewing room, which is warm and bright. The viewing room seems to be touched by nature and is full of vitality. In the corner, a huge palm tree stretches out its lush leaves, as if greeting the sun. Next to it is a row of carefully cultivated aloes, their green pointed leaves shining like gems in the light.

On the windowsill, a series of succulents and cacti are arranged. They have various shapes and colorful colors, like a vivid natural painting. Some of them are blooming with small and delicate flowers, adding a touch of soft color to the space.

In the center of the room, a wooden table is placed in an exquisite glass vase with some wild flowers and green plants in it. They seem to be dancing and changing with the light, bringing a touch of life to this quiet space.

In a corner of the viewing room, a group of spider plants hang in a basket under the ceiling. Their green vines hang down gently, flowing like a waterfall. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, forming a string of light spots that sprinkle on the ground, like stars in nature.

Jonas sat in the viewing room, surrounded by lush plants. The sunlight shone through the tall windows onto his neatly tailored suit, highlighting his self-evident elegance. He had a calm posture, one hand resting lightly on the wooden table, the other holding a delicate coffee cup, the surface of the coffee cup reflecting the soft light in the room. His fingertips lightly touched the screen, as if he was adjusting something.

The Alte Group had different meeting rooms for different people, but Jonas didn't really want to use them because it was very troublesome to go in and out, so he just chatted in the office.

I came here today because he is starting to slowly wind down his business and it is really not suitable for me to sit in the office.

His fingers moved and dialed a number in the address book.

"Yueyun, how are you? This is Jonas." His voice came through the screen, his expression calm and gentle.

After a moment, Yue Qian's voice came through the communication, with a hint of vigilance: "Mr. Jonas, what's wrong? Is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

She was feeling upset when Jonas suddenly called her.

Apart from last time, there shouldn't be any special connections between us, right?

"Ms. Yueqian, I would like to invite you to come to the Alte Group. The scenery here is very nice and you will like it." There was an imperceptible sincerity in Jonas' tone.

"Huh? Sit down? What do you mean?"

What do you mean?

Invite her to the Alte Foundation, have a chat, and then nothing happens?

Yue Qian seemed confused and hesitated for a moment: "You know, the relationship between me and the Alte Consortium...it seems inconvenient to invite you like this."

Jonas smiled slightly, his eyes fell on the blue sky outside the window: "How could it be, Miss Yueqian, District 25 is already cooperating with Dragon City, you don't have to be afraid of anything, aren't we friends?"

What are you implying?

Implying that all my friends are like you?

No, if I refuse, I might get fired right away. It’s better to just agree to it like before.

Don’t die, Yueyun, you still have to go back and report that little bitch Ye Hua!

After encouraging herself, Yue Qian entered the acting state.

"Indeed, I am very interested in some of the activities of the Alte Consortium."

Yue Qian did not refuse directly, but admitted naturally: "But this does not mean that I will accept your invitation. If there is any promise that I can get something by joining, please allow me to refuse."

Jonas's smile deepened. "I understand your concerns, but please believe that this invitation is purely for the common interests of District 25 and Dragon City. You will find that we have a lot to talk about."

Yue Qian was silent for a while, then said, "Okay, I will consider your proposal, but I need time to think about it. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly, Mr. Jonas."

"Of course, I completely understand." Jonas' voice remained calm. "No matter what your decision is, the door of the Alt Foundation will always be open to you."

Jonas's eyes fell on the lush green plants again: "Then I will wait for your arrival, Miss Yueqian."

Yue Qian sat in the restaurant, her eyes wandering between the blue sky outside the window and the communicator in her hand. She was in a complicated mood and seemed a little hesitant. She sighed softly and said to herself into the communicator: "Jonas, your invitation is really hard to make a decision. If I don't go, will I never be able to leave District 25?"

Her eyes fell on the communication interface, which was the interface where Jonas had just ended the call. Her fingers tapped lightly on the table, thinking about this sudden invitation. Jonas invited her to the Alte Foundation. This was not a request, but a notification.

She smiled. When she was at home and in Longcheng, she seemed to have seen the big sister use such a calm tone to ask someone to come over. In less than half an hour, the person came to the swordsman in an orderly manner and did not even dare to run a red light.

Besides, this is actually a good opportunity.

She clearly came to District 25 with a mission, but she didn't accomplish anything and had to go back in disgrace. Isn't that in line with her character?

She whispered to herself, "Going to the Alt Foundation might be a good opportunity to get to know Jonas and get intelligence, but..." Her voice revealed uncertainty, and she was clearly weighing the pros and cons.

After a while, Yue Chen took a deep breath and seemed to have made up her mind. She picked up the phone and pressed the dial button. The phone made a crisp dial tone and soon received a response.

Jonas' voice came from the communicator: "Ms. Yueqian, what have you thought about?"

Yue Qian took a deep breath and replied, "Mr. Jonas, I've thought about it and decided to accept your invitation. I will go to the Alte Foundation for a visit."

“Great! I’m glad you came.” Jonas’ voice was sincere. “I promise that your visit will be pleasant and valuable.”

Yue Qian forced a smile. Although she was still a little uncertain, she felt that she had made the right decision: "Okay, then we will meet soon. I look forward to seeing you at the Alte Foundation."

About half an hour later, Yue Qian stepped into the lobby of the Alte Group. The decoration here was luxurious and modern, with exquisite chandeliers hanging from the high ceiling and art paintings on the walls. Every detail revealed the wealth and taste of the group.

Yue Qian just thought that this was where vampires lived.

She walked to the front desk and was greeted with a smile by a receptionist in professional attire.

"Hello, I'm Yuexuan, and I'm here to meet Mr. Jonas." Her voice was calm and clear.

The receptionist nodded and said swiftly, "Of course, Ms. Yueqian, Mr. Jonas has already told you that he is waiting for you in the botanical garden. Please follow me."

Yue Qian followed the receptionist through a long corridor. The walls on both sides were covered with historical photos and certificates of honor of the Alte Foundation, highlighting its profound history and influence. At the end of the corridor, an exquisite door slowly opened, revealing a spacious botanical garden.

This botanical garden seems like a green miracle, filled with a variety of plants, tall palm trees, slender bamboos, colorful flowers, and tiny succulents. Each plant is carefully cared for and shows a vibrant state.

In the center of the botanical garden, Jonas stood next to a small waterfall. Next to it was a small artificial lake with several lotus flowers floating on the water. He was wearing a dark suit and looked elegant and calm.

Yue Qian walked towards Jonas. Even though she was knowledgeable, she had never seen these rare plants before. Her eyes wandered in this green ocean, and she couldn't help but feel a little amazed at the beauty here.
