"It's okay, everything is achievable with effort. We'll figure it out step by step. Besides, kicking 'it' out all at once is indeed unrealistic. At the very least, we must break 'its' left and right arms, leaving it with no one to help."

"The key question is, who are 'its' left and right arms? Up to now, I'm not clear about that. On the surface, those people are all in contact with 'it', warmly greeting 'it', but who among them are allies and who are enemies, I really can't differentiate."

"Don't worry, we'll test the waters slowly, and we should figure it out. It's obvious 'it' didn't invite you to dinner for nothing. Then, by observing how each person interacts with 'it', I presume it'll be clear."

"However, I find one thing very strange. Why does Guo Hongyu, up till now, really not understand that General Huang is not one of us?"

"What? Are you saying Guo Hongyu doesn't know about this yet?"

"He doesn't know. From his conversations, I feel that he actually trusts this person very much. I'm not sure if it's because the old man didn't tell him, or if he was told but is in denial."

"Then you must tell him about this. Such people definitely need to be guarded against."

"I really can't tell him. Besides, I can see that he's inexperienced and lacks a lot in handling matters. If I told him now, and he reveals it on the surface, then it would really be troublesome. Wouldn't that be alarming the enemy?"

"Hmm, thinking about it, it does seem to be the case. By the way, what are we going to do this afternoon?"

"This afternoon, I don't have much on my schedule. You should hurry up and set up those devices here. Also, is there any detection in the control room? If these devices were discovered, wouldn't that be troublesome?"

"Don't worry, even if he has detection equipment, what can he do? I can easily avoid all that."

Hearing Anying's confident answer, Ye Chen felt reassured. After all, dealing with such minor characters should really be a trivial matter for him.

In the afternoon, as soon as he started work, he received a call from Guo Hongyu.

"Hello, General Guo, what's up?"

"Oh, nothing much. Just seeing how you're doing. Are you adjusting well? Was lunch okay today?"

"Oh, it was fine. Nothing to report."

"Today I met General Huang, and he said that you had suggested changing all the cameras in the building. But, you never mentioned this to me before, did you? Is there a problem with those cameras?"

"What are you talking about? Did General Huang tell you that I wanted to replace all the cameras in the building?"

"Yes, he told me himself and, at that moment, I was somewhat surprised."

"And after telling you that, what did he say about how he handled this matter?"

"He said that replacing them would be too costly, so he decided to placate you for now and continue to delay it. It's probably just an excuse; he likely never planned to do it. But if you really need it, I can help you facilitate this."

"Let me tell you, I never said anything about replacing all the cameras in the building. What I said was to replace those three outdated ones in the lobby on the first floor."

"Oh, is that so? Maybe General Huang misunderstood? Should I ask him again?"

"Don't, don't ask him about it now. If that's the case, then I'm not in a rush at this moment. It's okay, I just casually mentioned it when I bumped into him today."

"Really? Don't worry, if there's anything you need, I can communicate with them for you. After all, General Huang has known me since I was young, so when I speak, it does carry some weight."

Sure enough, up to now, even Guo Hongyu doesn't understand his role. He really thinks these people still value him like before? However, everything has already changed.

"Don't worry, there's no rush. I just happened to meet him today and thought I'd casually mention this. Don't worry, we don't need that for now. If we do, I'll communicate with you in time."

"Oh, that's good. General Huang is very diligent and responsible. If you think he won't approve your request, you can come to me later, and I can approve it for you."

"Okay, got it. Also, General Guo, remember not to call me 'big brother Ye Chen' at the company. That might give away our relationship, and then we'd be exposing ourselves."

"Yes, yes, I know that. I just got used to calling you that and let it slip unconsciously today. Don't worry, I'll pay attention to it from now on."

"Alright, I got it. Anything else, General Guo?"

"Are you really going to go through with this operation tonight? Do you need me to do anything for you?"

"Oh, you don't need to do anything. Just leave it to me, that will be enough. You just go to work and get off work as usual; don't worry about the rest."

"Then you must be careful. The few people who dealt with this before were scared off. Although I don't know what they encountered, I think this matter is quite terrifying."

"Hehe, don't worry. Don't you know my capabilities? It's uncertain whether they will be the ones frightened or me."

"Right, that's why I'm more at ease with you handling things. Anyway, I have a meeting this afternoon, and after it's over, I won't be coming back to the office. If there's anything, we can talk on the phone directly."

"Alright, I understand. Let's leave it at that."

After finishing, he hung up the phone.

Actually, he could see that General Huang was simply playing a game of deception, lying to both superiors and subordinates.

On the surface, he agreed with Ye Chen, and then continued to drag out the matter, and then immediately discussed a bigger plan with Guo Hongyu, clearly intending to get Hongyu's support for all of it when the time comes.
