Just as he was about to leave, suddenly, the door opened, and then he saw Anying rush in with a laptop under his arm.

After witnessing this, Ye Chen just furrowed his brows, vaguely realizing that the situation indeed seemed to be somewhat ominous.

"What happened? Did you find any problems?"

"Indeed, I discovered something. Do you remember those people who left here late last night? Now, this morning, before the official work hours, they appeared again from that place."

"What, they appeared again?"

"Yes, luckily, I was prepared earlier, so I connected a camera. However, it couldn't capture their faces, only their backs. I counted roughly 10 people, and it should be 6 women and 4 men."

"6 women and 4 men?"

"Yes, just take a look and you'll understand."

While speaking, Anying turned the laptop around, showing a captured image on the screen.

Ye Chen glanced at it. These people were dressed very casually, and from their demeanor, laughing and talking noisily, they didn't seem like anyone special.

"They left here last night, and then came back again this morning. What does all this imply? Do these people have any connection with those involved in the underground operations?"

"They shouldn't be related. I tracked them technically; they didn't go downstairs but went upstairs instead."

"Went upstairs? Which floor?"

"The 26th floor."

"The 26th floor, whose office is on the 26th floor?"

As he spoke, Ye Chen then took out the floor layout of that level to check and saw that the 26th floor was where Huang Guosheng's office was located, along with two other presidents who also have their offices there.

"So, it involves three individuals, and Huang Guosheng is among them, is that correct?"

"Yes, that should be the case."

"Then where did these people depart from?"

"They left through the underground garage last night, didn't they? There is an emergency exit there which is usually sealed. I don't know how these people managed to open it."

"What about this morning?"

"This morning, they entered brazenly through the lobby."

"In the morning, they boldly walked in through the lobby, and at night they used the underground passage to leave. So, what does this signify?"

"It proves that they probably weren't deliberately hiding from anyone. Considering thousands of people work in this building, who could recognize anyone else? Thus, they weren't identified when they entered."

"But the main issue is, when leaving, they couldn't let others notice them. Could this be related to the ghost rumors?"

"It likely is related, but they might also be using the underground passage to avoid the ghost rumors, which makes it safer for them."

At this, Ye Chen nodded, seeming to understand the implications of what Anying was explaining to him, but when all the pieces were connected, it seemed to form an unexpected bigger picture.

"Did you think of something?"

Observing Ye Chen pacing back and forth, it seemed Anying could guess that he was truly troubled by these issues.

"Yes, I did think of something, but the main issue is, even if I consider these things, there's no way to resolve them now. I happened to run into Huang Guosheng at breakfast today."

"Oh, you ran into him. Did he say anything?"

"He showed great interest in my ghost-catching activities here last night, and I told him I was beginning to figure things out and believed the matter would soon be resolved."

"What did you say, you really told him that?"

"Yes, I wanted to test his reaction at that moment. If he was truly behind this, he would have been very flustered when I mentioned it, but I didn't see that expression."

"So, you saw him being merely surprised, an unexpected expression without any panic, am I right?"

"Yes, that's exactly it. How did you guess?"

"Actually, I can now roughly analyze some things, meaning, the ghost activities last night were probably not orchestrated by Huang Guosheng, and he might not even be aware of it."

"If he is not aware, then who is the operator behind these activities? And who are these mysterious figures that keep coming and going, and what are they doing here?"

"First of all, we should not treat these people as regular employees here; they definitely have no relations with that corporation, or else their actions wouldn't be so secretive."

"Yes, I'm completely sure of that too."

"But now, I even suspect that these people could be Huang Guosheng's people?"

"Huang Guosheng's people, with so many, even 10 people, what exactly are they supposed to do?"

"I'm guessing now, didn't we discuss before that Huang Guosheng has sole control of the financial authority, and that a single person dealing with two to three hundred documents daily is unfeasible for a normal person?"

"Yes, we talked about that, oh, I understand now."

At this, Ye Chen seemed to suddenly have a moment of enlightenment.

If that's the case, based on this reasoning, could these people be a secret team hired by Huang Guosheng?

"Actually, all these matters aren't done by Huang Guosheng alone; he delegated them to a team."

"A team operating these matters is simply a piece of cake."

"And Huang Guosheng, appearing to contribute so much to the company, has managed to maintain secrecy all these years, never being discovered."

"That means, the reason he never upgraded the cameras in the first-floor lobby is because he was afraid that others might notice something from these in-and-out employees, and then all the suspicions would point towards him, is that it?"
