Time flies, and it's already evening.

Ye Chen glanced back and noticed the sky had already darkened.

He looked up at the clock on the wall; it was now 6:00 PM.

Unknowingly, he had spent the whole afternoon in the office, and during this time, Anying hadn't come by.

He knew that Anying was precise in her actions; she was probably busy with her own arrangements and deployments at this time.

By now, Ye Chen had a general understanding of all the deputy general managers and above.

Even though he was uncertain which of them were his adversaries, he knew that none would be easy to confront.

How could a deputy general manager who oversees thousands in such a large corporation, such a large listed group, be easily dealt with?

However, he had noticed someone with close ties to Huang Guosheng.

This individual also bore the surname Huang, and his background seemed very similar to that of Huang Guosheng, but Ye Chen was unsure of the exact relationship between the two.

For Ye Chen, it was all speculation, suspicion.

As for the specifics, he needed to investigate further, and judging by the age, this individual could either be a relative or Huang Guosheng's son.

But if that were true, wouldn't someone in the company have noticed such a connection?

If this relationship was known, then the old man, or even Guo Hongyu, should have informed him, at the very least to mentally prepare him.

Ye Chen stood up from his seat and walked over to the window. He was aware that the company's closing time was supposed to be 6:00.

From there, he could see the main entrance clearly. At this moment, Ye Chen watched as crowds began to exit the building.

After all, after 7:00 PM, one wasn't allowed to linger in the building, so by 6:00 PM, people had already started to head out.

Watching the flow of people leaving, Ye Chen felt an indescribable sensation.

He felt as though there was a huge conspiracy hidden within, yet unclear where exactly it was.

If that was the case, he had to figure out what was really going on.

Ye Chen stood alone by the window until around 6:30.

Then, he was roused by a knocking at the door.

He walked over and opened it, assuming it was likely to be Anying at this time.

Most of the company's staff had left by now; if they were to take action, it was time to start preparing now.

"Were you just sleeping in the surveillance room?"

"Yes, I was in the surveillance room chatting with Captain Yang and checking the monitors. Now, the floors are starting to clear out, and I reckon that in another 10 minutes, everyone will have left."

After hearing this, Ye Chen just nodded. It seemed they were 20 minutes ahead of his expectations.

"So, did you notice anything unusual while talking to the security captain?"

"It seems all his answers were superficial. And if one really wants to deeply understand him, it won't be easy—there's something off about him."

"Right, I had the same feeling when I first met him; he hides himself too deeply."

"Although nothing strange happened while I was in the surveillance room, I still feel something is not quite the same."

"He said that 7:00 PM is when the building officially closes, right?"

"Yes, it starts at 7:00 PM, and I noticed that just around the corner from here is the bathroom, so we can start our inspection from the bathroom on this floor."

"About the equipment you were tasked to set up before, is everything in place now?"

"Don't worry, everything is set up completely, and all the devices, including detection instruments, are placed on every floor."

"What? Every floor? What do you mean?"

"Heh, I didn't bring much this time, so I had them installed approximately every four or five floors—I've dispersed one device on every few levels. All the scanning signals are normal so far, no interference detected."

"You're saying, you've been working on this all afternoon?"

"Yes, that's what I've been doing all afternoon."

"Weren't you worried about being seen by the surveillance room during the installation?"

At this point, Ye Chen was a bit concerned. They hadn't even started their real work.

If they alerted the enemy now, then they could forget about proceeding with the rest of their plan, which would be more difficult than reaching the heavens.

"Relax, I'm not that foolish. This afternoon, I had already rerouted all the network signals to my mainframe. So now, whether I want to cut or switch screens, or control it in some way, I can do it all by myself—they won't capture anything."

He nodded in relief upon hearing this; anything Anying said was sure to be reliable.

"Are you saying his security system isn't as advanced as we thought?"

"Don't be fooled by all the sophisticated equipment installed here—it has many vulnerabilities. If a hacker wanted to break in, it would be a piece of cake; there would be no significant issues."

"So, if we want to rigorously upgrade all the security facilities and block all the backdoors, can you do that?"
