Ye Beiyuan frowned and took half a step forward.

She disliked arrogant spoiled brats and couldn't stand their slander of Ye Heng and their contempt for the Spirit Group.

"Sir, please watch your words. We are indeed government officials, and we have important business to attend to..."

"Important business?" Chen Xiao scoffed, interrupting her without any politeness, and looked Ye Beiyuan up and down with a somewhat flippant gaze.

Unexpectedly, this little beauty was exceptionally beautiful, even more so than many of the celebrities he had been with!

Ye Beiyuan was already exceptionally beautiful, and long-term training made her stand tall and straight, with a cool and heroic temperament that set her apart from ordinary women.

A fleeting look of amazement crossed his eyes:

"Tsk, not bad looking, too bad for a conman. How about this, I see you have good potential, what future can you have hanging out with these people? Come with me, I'll introduce you to the entertainment industry, give you a makeover, I guarantee you'll be much richer than you are now. What do you say?"

His words were laced with implied superiority, as if he were bestowing an immense favor.

Ye Beiyuan's face instantly turned cold, and her eyes shot towards Chen Xiao like icy blades.

Her hands, held at her sides, tightened slightly, a chill creeping over her. If it weren't for the special circumstances and her mission, she wouldn't have minded making this loose-tongued jerk suffer.

Just as the bodyguard was about to step forward to carry out the order, Lin Ruofei finally spoke.

"Mr. Chen, that's enough." Her voice was still clear and crisp, but it carried an undeniable chill.

Chen Xiao was taken aback, clearly not expecting Lin Ruofei to embarrass him for the sake of a few people of "unknown origin," and he felt somewhat embarrassed: "Ruofei, I'm doing this for your own good. These people are obviously..."

"Chen Xiao, I appreciate your sponsorship of my concert, but that's no excuse for you to interfere in my affairs."

"Whether they're scammers or not, I can judge for myself. This is none of your business, Brother Zhang!"

She turned to her agent, "Take Mr. Chen to the lounge for a cup of tea. I have some business to discuss with these...officials."

The agent, Brother Zhang, immediately understood. Although he was also hesitant, he never questioned Lin Ruofei's decision. He quickly stepped forward and half-persuaded, half-pulled Chen Xiao away, who still wanted to argue.

Chen Xiao's face turned pale, and he glared at Ye Heng, but ultimately didn't dare to completely lose his temper in front of Lin Ruofei.

"This is not the place to talk. Come with me."

Lin Ruofei turned around and led Ye Heng and the others to a relatively quiet VIP passage.

Upon entering a cubicle temporarily used as a dressing room for artists, Lin Ruofei signaled her manager to stand guard outside the door, leaving only two bodyguards standing in the corner of the room.

She sat down on a single sofa, her gaze falling directly on Ye Heng.

"Speak, Mr. Spirit Group... You said a criminal gang is targeting my concert. What exactly is the situation? How much do you know?"

Ye Heng sat down in the chair opposite her, with Tianlang and Ye Beiyuan standing on either side.

His gaze lingered on Lin Ruofei's face, or more precisely, he sensed the extremely thin energy fluctuations surrounding her.

It is a harmonious union of phoenix and luan.

This word surfaced deep in Ye Heng's memory.

This is an extremely rare innate spiritual entity.

People with this constitution are born with an extraordinary sensitivity and ability to harmonize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, human emotions, and even certain special energy fields.

Moreover, and most importantly, if one cultivates with another, they can mutually benefit each other and accelerate their cultivation progress.

It is precisely because of this characteristic and this physique that he is the best choice to make up for the deficiencies of his cultivation technique!

Ye Heng pulled himself together and replied:

"Our intelligence indicates that an overseas criminal organization called 'Eclipse' is planning a large-scale attack during your concert."

"Their goal may be to create panic, or they may have deeper motives. Your concert, in terms of time, location, and number of attendees, all meet the conditions for their actions."

Lin Ruofei frowned slightly: "Where's the evidence? What was the specific plan? Since you knew about it, why didn't you stop it beforehand, or demand the concert be canceled?"

"With insufficient evidence, canceling the concert outright might alert them and force them to adopt a more covert and unpredictable modus operandi. We need them to take action so we can apprehend them all at once. Therefore, the concert needs to proceed as scheduled."

"As scheduled?" Lin Ruofei's eyes widened slightly, her voice tinged with disbelief. "You mean, you're using my safety and that of 80,000 spectators as bait?"

"No." Ye Heng shook his head, meeting her gaze directly. "Your safety is my responsibility. I will act as your personal bodyguard, participating in the entire preparation and execution of the concert. At the same time, we will lay a tight net to ensure that if the other party makes a move, they will be completely eliminated, and no audience member will be harmed."

"You?" Lin Ruofei's tone was laced with undisguised skepticism. "Mr. Ye, I appreciate the Spirit Group's reminder. But if I may be frank, the duties of a bodyguard are immense, and the situations they need to deal with can be extremely complex and dangerous. How can I trust that you have the ability to ensure my safety, or even... control the concert?"

"I understand Miss Lin's concerns. As for ability, words are not enough. But let me remind you, I represent the Spirit Group, not some random nobody."

Lin Ruofei remained silent.

She knew what the Spirit Group represented: it was the most powerful violent institution in the Great Xia Kingdom, representing the country's strongest fighting force.

"Okay, I trust the Spirit Group's professional judgment." After a moment, Lin Ruofei made her decision.

"I will cooperate with your work. The concert security is handled by a professional team, and I will have them fully cooperate with your arrangements. You can communicate directly with Brother Zhang—my manager—about what kind of access you need and which aspects you need to be in."

"However, Mr. Ye, I hope you understand that I am the one standing on that stage, and sitting below are 80,000 audience members who trust me. I don't want to see any accidents happen."

"That's also my goal," Ye Heng nodded.

"Well then, it's a pleasure to cooperate." Lin Ruofei stood up and extended her hand again.

Ye Heng shook hands with her, but the touch was brief.

"Next, I need to understand the entire concert process, the venue layout, security arrangements, and the personnel list in detail, especially the backgrounds of all staff members who have access to the backstage and core areas." Ye Heng turned to Ye Beiyuan and Tianlang.

"Bei Yuan, you will assist Miss Lin's team in streamlining internal processes and personnel, with a focus on investigating recent new hires or those exhibiting unusual behavior. Tian Lang, you will coordinate with the Demon Sea Spirit Group and the venue's existing security personnel to redeploy resources, particularly at key points such as energy, ventilation, and communications, setting up concealed monitoring points. All information will be synchronized in real time."

"Yes!" the two replied in unison, immediately getting to work.

Lin Ruofei watched Ye Heng give clear and logical instructions. There was no hesitation or awkwardness on his young face, as if he was already used to strategizing.

The doubts in her heart had unknowingly dissipated a little.

Perhaps, this time, a truly remarkable person has arrived.
