The night was deep!
Ye Cangtian sat on the sofa in the living room.
On the coffee table was a wooden box. The wooden box had no lock on the outside because the lock was on the inside, making it impossible to open from the outside.
It was just like the old man's mysterious methods.
After all, a wooden box with no external lock, needing to be opened from the inside, was almost impossible.
For ordinary people, it was almost impossible. But for Ye Cangtian, it was very easy.
Because in this world, only he and the old man could do it.
He lit a cigarette, placed his hands on the wooden box, and muttered, "This immortal old man is always like this, why doesn't he just give me the treasures directly? He has to play these tricks."
As his cultivation technique circulated, an invisible force emanated from his hands.
This invisible force passed through the wooden box, and under Ye Cangtian's skilled manipulation, it quickly unlocked the internal lock.
"Crack!" The wooden box sprang open.
What was inside was in full view: a letter, a seal, and a smaller wooden box.
That's it?
Ye Cangtian curled his lips, picked up the seal, and looked at it. It was engraved with the characters 'Yulong'. There seemed to be nothing else special about it.
As for the smaller wooden box, he tried channeling his energy into it, but found he couldn't open it.
He then picked up the letter and began to read it.
"You brat, you must be cursing me for not leaving you anything again, right? You brat, you have no respect for your teacher."
"Never mind! The fact that you can see the wooden box I left for you means you have already gone to Huaxia, and it seems you don't object to the marriage engagement."
"But that's normal. You've always been very fond of beautiful women. The young daughter from the Tang family is really not bad looking. Would you be willing to give her up?"
"Getting back to business, now for the serious stuff! Knowing your troublesome nature, you should have already come into contact with people from the Dragon Group. Your master will give you a mission: join the Dragon Group and, by the way, investigate the traitor within the Dragon Group."
Reading this, Ye Cangtian felt a sense of speechlessness.
The old man actually wanted him to join the Dragon Group. It seemed his decision had inadvertently aligned with the old man's wishes.
Were there traitors in the Dragon Group?
This was something Ye Cangtian hadn't expected. With Old Master Xu in charge, if there were traitors, Old Master Xu's methods would have uncovered them long ago. Would he still be needed?
No, the old man must be talking about the Hidden Group, right?
After all, the Hidden Group was also part of the Dragon Group. The Dragon Group was divided into two groups, A and B.
Old Master Xu was the founder of Group B, while Group A was the mysterious Hidden Group, a place full of masters and incredibly mysterious.
He continued reading.
As expected, the old man immediately mentioned the Hidden Group.
"With your strength, it's no problem to become an outer member of the Dragon Group, but to enter the true Hidden Group, you still need to work hard! This requires you to improve your strength yourself."
"Also, your fiancée's parents are members of the Hidden Group. They have been investigating the identity of the traitor. You can ask them if necessary."
Tang Xinwan's parents were indeed members of the Hidden Group!
Ye Cangtian's eyes lit up, but he quickly curled his lips. The old man probably didn't know that his future father-in-law and mother-in-law had already gone missing.
The old man's last sentence in the letter said: "Knowing that you brat won't do anything wholeheartedly without benefits, there's a square seal in the wooden box. It's a favor to you. As for its purpose, you'll know when you meet people from Yulong Mountain Villa later."
"Also, if you want to know my whereabouts, wait until you have the strength to open the next layer of the wooden box!"
The letter ended!
Ye Cangtian couldn't help but roll his eyes. This old man was as troublesome as ever!
The letter contained so much information but explained nothing clearly, it was like speaking in riddles. I can't believe I fell for this!
However, he summarized some of the old man's intentions.
Join the Dragon Group, no, join the Hidden Group! Find the traitor!
Ye Cangtian didn't know what this traitor was about. Perhaps Tang Xinwan's parents knew, but they were already missing. Maybe their disappearance was related to that traitor.
As for the seal engraved with 'Yulong', who knew what it was!
He had been in the capital for so many days and hadn't heard of any Yulong Mountain Villa. The old man hadn't said anything, so he really had to wait until he met people from Yulong Mountain Villa later.
Ye Cangtian looked at the last wooden box, which he couldn't open.
Because this small wooden box not only had a lock inside but also a restriction. With his current strength, he couldn't break it.
He knew the old man wasn't that reliable, so he wasn't agitated at all.
But he still had a question in his mind: what was the old man's relationship with the Hidden Group? Why did he want him to find the traitor?
...
The next day!
The atmosphere at the branch company's office building was a bit strange.
Because a young woman had joined the company and, upon arrival, had called everyone to a meeting. She claimed to be the company's new general manager.
If it weren't for the receptionist Li Anran's confirmation, everyone would have thought the young woman had come to the wrong place.
Besides, where was there such a young general manager?
When Tang Xinwan and Ye Cangtian arrived at the company, they saw everyone gathered in the conference room. Murong Yu, dressed in a professional suit, was making adjustments to the company's employees.
"This girl isn't old, but she has a full presence!" Ye Cangtian said with a smile.
Yesterday, Murong Yu was dressed more casually.
But today, she had completely changed her style. She wore a white shirt inside and a formal suit jacket outside, paired with a black pencil skirt.
She was simply a decisive career woman!
This made Ye Cangtian feel like he was looking at a duplicate of Tang Xinwan.
No, not a duplicate.
Because one was going for a mature and sexy route, while the other was youthful and energetic.
Tang Xinwan had a satisfied smile on her face.
She couldn't help but sigh, "People from the Murong family are indeed all business talents!"
Although Murong Yu was young, she had great talent in business management. It seemed the company had struck gold this time.
And at this moment!
In the conference room, as Murong Yu made adjustments to the positions, the company members looked at each other, and many frowned.
"General Manager, does our Chairman know about these things you're saying?" a key member from Haitian Pharmaceutical asked in a deep voice.
Before Murong Yu could answer, Tang Xinwan pushed open the conference room door and walked in.
She looked at the people in the conference room and said, "Murong Yu is the general manager hired by the company, and I support every decision she makes!"
Then Tang Xinwan added, "I have heard General Manager Murong's analysis and adjustments just now, and I am very satisfied! I hope everyone will work together from now on and strive to achieve results for the company!"
With her words, the crowd had no objections.
However, they still harbored doubts about Murong Yu's abilities, as this general manager was simply too young.
