Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

It's safe to say that none of the employees at Nadutong's Northeast branch slept tonight.

Gao Lian had to keep an eye on Hirumaru, investigate the company's internal moles, and also investigate the forces that had attempted to assassinate Zhou Fengliu...

In less than a day, Gao Lian was under pressure from three sides, forcing him to work non-stop.

He even enlisted Gao Erzhuang's help in investigating Zhou Fengliu's assassination...

...

"Brother Gao, that assassin... just committed suicide." Zhang Zhitao said to Gao Lian as he entered the office.

"I see."

Upon receiving this news, Gao Lian merely nodded wearily to indicate that he understood. Seeing him raise his head and look at Zhang Zhitao before him, he asked again:

"Old Zhang, are you the mole?"

"?"

Upon hearing Gao Lian's question, Zhang Zhitao was taken aback at first, then showed a puzzled expression:

"Brother Gao, do you doubt me?"

"You know me, I've been with you for so many years... Besides, I'm your brother, and you should know my fellow disciples well too..."

Gao Lian nodded in response to Zhang Zhitao's words.

indeed.

Zhang Zhitao's resume is flawless, and he's been with him for so many years; if he were a mole... he probably would have been caught long ago, and wouldn't be here today...

"Old Zhang, what do you think of our company...?"

Before Gao Lian could finish speaking, Zhang Zhitao shook his head and interrupted, saying:

"Brother Gao, I'm an honest man, don't ask me this question... I just do my job well and have never doubted my men..."

"..."

Hearing Zhang Zhitao's words, Gao Lian was silent at first, then sighed:

"Old Zhang, go and get back to work..."

"Okay." Zhang Zhitao nodded, then turned to leave. He had just reached the door when he turned back, hesitated for a moment looking at Gao Lian, and then said:

"Brother Gao, it's not necessarily that there's a mole within our ranks who leaked the information... What if it's some outside force tracking Mr. Zhou here to assassinate him?"

"..."

Gao Lian didn't say much after hearing Zhang Zhitao's words.

If that were true... that would be great, but unfortunately, the possibility is very low...

...

The next day.

The news of Zhou Fengliu's assassination also reached the ears of Tang Miaoxing, the head of the Tang Clan, and Lü Ci, the head of the Lü family.

While waiting for the arrival of the Fish and Dragon Society's president, Tang Miaoxing, Lü Ci, and others sat with Zhou Fengliu in the conference room.

During this time, Tao Tao was called out by Tang Miaoxing once.

As for what they're going to do with it...

Without a doubt, it was a barrage of insults.

As a Tang Clan assassin living next door to Zhou Fengliu, he was approached by other assassins and nearly killed Zhou Fengliu in an explosion...

This is a disgrace to the Tang Clan!

Anyway, when Tao Tao came back again, she was like a wilted eggplant, looking like she had no will to live.

Money is hard to earn, and even the best food is hard to eat...

Earning double pay is definitely awesome, but it also means getting a lot of flak.

...

"Manager Gao, have you found anything about the person who assassinated Chairman Zhou last night?" Lu Ci asked Gao Lian.

He seemed quite curious about Zhou Fengliu's assassination attempt last night.

He held back even yesterday, like a mad dog. He can't understand which force would be so foolish as to assassinate the chairman of All-Tong...

"Well... we don't know who did it yet, but one thing is certain: there are definitely some problems within our organization..." Gao Lian replied.

"I overheard Tao Tao mention something about the assassin who tried to kill Jay Chou... the weapon he used seemed to be a long thorn. I wonder if Manager Gao could let our Tang Clan take a look..."

Tang Miaoxing took over the conversation and looked at Gao Lian.

He had just called Tao Tao out and listened carefully to her analysis. The weapon the assassin used... made him feel that something was wrong.

Upon hearing Tang Miaoxing's request, Gao Lian sent someone to fetch them, and shortly after, the two ninja daggers, which were the evidence, were brought over.

After examining the items, Tang Miaoxing and Tang Xin exchanged a glance, as if they had reached some conclusion.

"Could the assassin who tried to kill Jay Chou be Hiroshi?"

"Bihenin?"

Upon hearing the name Biheren, Gao Lian raised an eyebrow slightly: "Weren't they defeated at Toutian Cave long ago?"

"Manager Gao, to be honest, during the battle of the hole back then, we did let a few bastards slip through the net."

Tang Xin spoke slowly, and seeing him glance at the ninja thorn, he added:

"You know, the most notable characteristic of those little rascals is their prolific breeding..."

...

P.S.: I pray for everything as usual. Goodnight and sweet dreams to all my godfathers.

"The most notable characteristic of these little rascals is their prolific reproduction."

When Tang Xin said this, everyone present was stunned for a second, and their expressions showed different degrees of contemplation.

Don't say...

You really don’t want to say that.

If the Higanbana ninja who escaped from that battle back then really chose to lie low on this land.

After decades of development, it might actually become a force to be reckoned with...

...

The perspective shifts to the other side, inside Shenzhou Taoxian Airport.

Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao, who had just gotten off the plane, did not go to the Northeast Branch, but waited at the airport for the Fish Dragon Society to come out.

At this moment, Zhang Chulan was looking at the messages in the internal group chat of the Northeast Region regarding the escort of the demon sword Hiruma.

He had just learned of Zhou Fengliu's attack last night...

This is outrageous!

Didn't you know Zhou Fengliu knew martial arts?

He just blatantly disguised himself as a food delivery guy and delivered it upstairs...

Zhang Chulan stated that whoever orchestrated the assassination plot was either out of their mind or had absolutely no intelligence... and chose the most suicidal method...

and many more.

Zhang Chulan suddenly thought of something...

How did the assassins find Zhou Fengliu's exact location in just two days?

I see...

At that moment, he suddenly understood.

Why did their North China branch suddenly dispatch a portion of its staff to the Northeast overnight to provide support in the early hours of last night...?

The problem lies here...

...

Just as Zhang Chulan was pondering which idiot had orchestrated the assassination plot, Ishikawa Shin, the president of the Fish Dragon Society, emerged from the exit with his eldest son, Ishikawa Ken, Ishikawa Ken's fiancée, Aiko, and others.

"Chairman Ishikawa!"

Upon seeing the chubby, dark-skinned Ishikawa Shin, Zhang Chulan snapped out of his reverie and waved to Ishikawa Shin and the others.

"It's you."

Upon seeing Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao, Ishikawa Shin paused for a moment before recalling that he had seen Zhang Chulan at Nathan King's reception.

"The last time I saw you was at King Nathan's reception, wasn't it?"

“Yes, Chairman Ishikawa, the two of us will be in charge of receiving you to pick up the goods at the company. The vehicle is ready…” Zhang Chulan emphasized the words “pick up the goods”.

"Yes, thank you for your help, Zhang..."
