"You didn't hear what he said? He mentioned that he has the Four Great Masters by his side; while you might manage against ordinary people, the Four Great Masters, though, won't be that simple."

"What Four Great Masters, Eight Arhats, these—I don't care about them at all, rest assured, I know what to do."

Actually, Anying wanted to continue, but seeing Ye Chen's determined attitude, if she kept on talking, it would probably only make things more complicated for herself.

"Wait for me a moment."

After that, Anying hurriedly left the room.

Ye Chen looked at her retreating back, not knowing what this woman was up to.

After a while, Ye Chen saw Anying take out a small Jade Pendant and then handed it over to him.

Ye Chen just looked down at it; it was a jade pendant, clear and translucent, indeed feeling quite artistic.

"What are you giving me this for? I don't believe in these things, plus, I don't wear such accessories. You better keep it."

"This isn't just an ordinary jade pendant; it has some infrared sensors and also an alarm system. When you are attacked, this jade pendant can send out an alarm signal, and I can receive it on my end immediately, then I can turn on the camera to establish a connection."

"You mean, you can see the situation there in real time?"

"Yes, basically, it's possible. Moreover, I can accurately locate your position. Suppose you're really caught by those people; I should figure out a way to rescue you, right?"

"Well, if that's the case, I think this gadget could indeed be useful. I'll carry it with me tomorrow, but even if you detect danger, what can you really do?"

"Don't forget, right now, Ada has handed over all his covert operations to my control. I will make detailed plans and arrangements tomorrow. If confirmed, then later, only the old master can step in."

At this point, Ye Chen nodded. He also knew that if a large group of people were to assist him now, probably only Guo Tao would have the capability.

Although he didn't want to trouble Guo Tao repeatedly due to these matters, under such strong force, it seemed he had no better options.

Ye Chen sat alone in the room all night, and just as dawn was barely breaking, he saw a call coming on his phone; it was from Lin Yaru.

Probably, for Lin Yaru, it was also a sleepless night, as she likely kept worrying about the progress of everything here.

"Yaru, did you stay up all night?"

"How could I possibly sleep? There's been no news from Anying."

"I'm sorry, Yaru. After coming back, I was busy dealing with some other matters and didn't get the chance to update you, so I want to tell you that now we are safe, and she is with me again."

"Oh, that's good, that's good. As long as she's alright, then I can finally put my mind at ease. What exactly happened last night?"

"It's hard to explain in just a few words. You shouldn't inquire about this matter for now; I will naturally keep you informed after it's over."

"Alright, I understand. As long as all of you are safe, I don't have any other concerns."

"Are you getting ready to go to the hospital?"

"Almost, it's nearly 6 a.m. now. I'll have breakfast in the hospital and then get accustomed to the tasks at my workstation. Alright, since there's no issue, let's leave it at that."

"Okay, I understand."

After that, Ye Chen hung up the phone. If Lin Yaru hadn't called herself, Ye Chen might have really forgotten that today was the day to communicate with Mr. Guo.

Moreover, those unknown surveillance personnel have now arrived in this city. Therefore, for Lin Yaru's safety, Ye Chen must let the old master prepare ahead of time.

About 6:00, he knew the old master would be up early as usual.

So Ye Chen directly called Guo Tao.

"Hello, Ye Chen, why are you calling so early? Was everything all right last night?"

"Yes, everything was normal last night, and there was no disturbance. From today onwards, this matter will be put on hold temporarily, but I will definitely find out who these people are behind the scenes."

"That's good. In that case, the company can avoid falling into panic. You're calling me so early just to tell me this?"

"No, some urgent matters have come up. I am worried about other people surveilling Yaru, so I'd like the old master to arrange for some people to protect Miss Lin."

"Oh, I see, that's simple. Don't worry about it; I will have Sui Feng handle it right away."

"Thank you, old master. I will leave Yaru's safety in your hands for now."

"That's no issue. Yaru is my kin after all, and I definitely care about her safety. Rest assured, I will make sure she is well protected."

"That's reassuring. Also, there's one more thing. If Anying contacts you today, arrange some manpower for her and follow her instructions."

"What? Anying? What happened, is there another issue?"

"Old master, I'm sorry, but it's not convenient to discuss it right now. Once I've thoroughly investigated, I will naturally explain it to you. I'm just worried it might be difficult for me to handle it alone, so I hope you can provide your support when needed."

"Of course, no problem. If that's the case, I will definitely ensure your safety. Tell me, how many people do you need, 50 or 100?"

"No need, that many isn't necessary; probably just twenty or thirty people. That should be enough to disrupt the situation, especially considering they wouldn't be so bold in broad daylight."
