With Ye Chen's tacit approval, Anying finally took the small bottle of medicine and poured it directly into her own mouth.

After she drank it, at this moment, Ye Chen finally let out a long sigh of relief, finally able to ease his mind.

"What drug did they use on her?"

"It's a rare, personally compounded drug on the market, with extremely potent hallucinogenic effects, so ordinary people simply can't resist it. After even a small intake, one would faint within 5 minutes and have absolutely no memory of what transpired during that time."

"Are you saying that even if I hadn't made it in time, after they had their way with her today, she wouldn't have any recollection of what happened upon waking up?"

"Exactly, she wouldn't have any memories of it. That's why they use such drugs, and many people have been harmed by this method. I must say, I find it quite intolerable."

"So, knowing that it was this kind of situation today, why did she follow you? Why did you take her there? Do you have some other motive?"

"Heavens no, Mr. Ye, she's your person, how could I possibly harbor any personal interests towards her? I just felt that she's easy to talk to. Moreover, today I received information that it was supposed to be just Brother Shui alone there with no one else. But when I arrived, I realized that wasn't the case at all."

"Are you saying you only knew it was supposed to be Brother Shui alone, so you rashly took her there, but once there, you didn't expect to find so many others around?"

"Yes, that's it. It wasn't a simple chat over tea at all, it was practically a private party. So the instant I brought her in, I already deeply regretted it, but you know, it seemed impossible to back out once there, so I had no choice but to sit down and stick it out."

"So what you're saying is that you're innocent in all this, and you were completely kept in the dark?"

"That's right, as honest as heaven and earth, Mr. Ye. If I really had any designs on her, how could I possibly take her to that event? It would be much easier to drug her directly within the company."

In fact, giving it some thought, this explanation does make sense, and it's something both Ye Chen and Anying could accept in their hearts.

"Alright, let's set these matters aside for the moment. I want to ask you, what is the relationship between you, Brother Shui, and so-called Viagra?"

"They are my bosses."

"What? They are your bosses? But aren't you working at this company? How can you still be involved in such external societies?"

"Actually, I've been following Brother Wei for over a decade. Over time, their gang grew in size, and then Brother Shui eventually took over."

"If you've been following them, why not work on tasks with them instead of infiltrating this company?"

Upon reaching this part of the conversation, the person suddenly froze, then slowly lowered his head.

This might very well be the secret he held, and there must be lucrative benefits for him to stay here for as long as ten years; otherwise, he wouldn't have remained for so long.

"What, you still refuse to reveal the whole truth now? Let me tell you, if you're unwilling to speak, I have a hundred ways to investigate this matter. But if it turns out to be an investigation by myself, the consequences could be quite different."

Ye Chen's words were not naked threats. As long as it involved the company's interests, he was bound to pursue the investigation.

"Moreover, this matter has escalated to another level. It's not just some private collusion. If they pose a threat to the Guo Group, then as the head of security, I must intervene and manage this situation."

"Mr. Ye, I advise you best not get involved. The forces behind them are not as simple as you think. Today was just a minor skirmish. I know you're highly skilled, but even you can't deal with the overwhelming numbers or emerging masters, right?"

"All that doesn't matter. I just want to ask you, what is their purpose for placing you here?"

"Let me explain, every month they have a batch of key goods that are transshipped through the warehouse at the docks. My role here is to coordinate the movement of goods in that warehouse."

"What do you mean? Transshipment warehouse? What's that supposed to mean?"

"Don't you get it? They smuggle goods from abroad – things that can't see the light of day. This company happens to have such a business, and I'm quite familiar with those people. So, I took advantage of this to 'cover my ears to steal bells,' and over the years, I've been helping them transport quite a lot of goods."

"So, you're saying that among the goods transshipped here, there are a lot of smuggled items. If so, should it come to light one day, the loss to the Group, especially in reputation, would be immense."

"Yes, that's exactly right. But as you know, for many years, the Guo Group has thrived in business here. As long as the goods bear the Guo Group's brand, no one would think to investigate, nor would anyone suspect that they are involved in smuggling."

"Because of this, you've been placed in the company, and for so many years, there's been no trouble – is that what you mean?"

"Correct, that's precisely it. This is the 'secret' I mentioned, and why I've been able to stay in this position until today."

"Regarding this matter, aside from you, does anyone else in the company know?"

"Mr. Ye, I beg you, stop asking. If you continue, I really don't know how I can keep going. You understand, once I leave this company, I'll be heading down a dead end outside – do you get it? Those people, the way they handle matters, is truly brutal."
