It was already two or three in the morning!
Ye Cangtian had finally managed to clarify his relationship with Qianwei, and Qianwei had left, gloating, half an hour earlier.
Tang Xinwan tidied her thoughts and then frowned, "You mean Qianwei is just your junior sister? Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"She's quite pitiful, with no family in this world!"
Ye Cangtian had just told her about Qianwei's background, and Tang Xinwan learned that Qianwei's parents had been murdered when she was young, and she was almost sold into trafficking, which made her feel a bit sympathetic.
Compared to Qianwei, her own background was so much better!
She had grown up with a silver spoon in her mouth. Although her parents had disappeared years ago, she still had the Tang family and a grandfather who doted on her!
Ye Cangtian pretended to sigh, "Alas, I'm also pitiful. Why does no one pity me!"
Tang Xinwan rolled her eyes and said petulantly, "You're the one who needs pity the least. You flirt with everyone, who knows how many romantic debts you've accumulated in the past!"
How did it get onto Xi Beiya again!
Ye Cangtian was overwhelmed and raised his hands in surrender, "I promise, I've never flirted with anyone. I've never actively pursued a girl. Well, you're the first one!"
Of course, he never actively pursued girls. He would just go flirt with them if he liked them.
As the leader of the dignified Grim Reaper Mercenary Group, how could he do something as mundane as actively pursuing girls?
Tang Xinwan couldn't help but spit as she listened, "Why are you saying all this? I'm not that easily fooled!"
"Alright, it's late. I'm going back to my room to rest!"
After saying that, she returned to her room with a blush.
Seeing that she was no longer pressing the issue, Ye Cangtian breathed a sigh of relief. He would rather face thousands of troops than Tang Xinwan's incessant questioning.
Especially when a woman gets jealous, you're truly speechless!
Lighting a cigarette in the living room, Ye Cangtian couldn't help but recall what happened tonight.
"The Hermit, the Hidden Group!"
The Hidden Group was Group A, named for its mystery and secrecy!
China's Dragon Group was divided into Group A and Group B. He was now familiar with the people from Group B. Both Zhang Liang and Iron Tower were squad leaders in Group B, and they had a decent relationship with him.
But it was his first time seeing the people from Group A.
That man in green was very strong, so strong that he killed a silver-masked powerhouse from the Dark Association with a single sword. Such strength was the most formidable existence Ye Cangtian had ever seen, besides the old guys.
So the question arose!
How many such powerhouses were there in Group A?
Or perhaps, did every member of Group A possess such strength?
Ye Cangtian was becoming more and more interested in this so-called Group A, or the Hidden Group!
"Do I really have to join the Dragon Group?"
He couldn't help but frown. He had refused Old Master Xu's coercion to join the Dragon Group because once he joined, he would be constrained by others.
He was used to doing whatever he pleased and didn't really like being constrained.
"Perhaps this can be discussed properly!"
Ye Cangtian planned to go have tea with the old man when he had time. He could negotiate terms for joining the Dragon Group.
And then there was Shangguan Yun, this guy was really good at hiding.
How did Shangguan Yun become a member of the Dark Association?
Did this guy, like him, encounter someone like Batianhu who joined the Dark Association but hadn't pledged allegiance to the mask with blood for a long time?
Zhang Liang had once said that it was almost impossible to infiltrate the Dark Association and become a member under normal circumstances.
And the chance of Batianhu's situation was also extremely slim. It was precisely because this chance was so small that Ye Cangtian found it strange.
"This guy actually managed to make the Hidden Group's powerhouses take action. Is he also from the Hidden Group? Or is he related to someone in the Hidden Group?"
Ye Cangtian stroked his chin. It seemed he would only find the answer after meeting Shangguan Yun!
...
The next day, Tang Xinwan took Ye Cangtian to the airport early in the morning.
Haitian Pharmaceutical in Yangzhou had sent a batch of company elites to set up the preliminary processes for the branch company.
These elites were drawn from various departments. After all, there were many preparatory tasks, such as office renovation, recruitment, business, etc.
There were about a dozen people, including two girls Ye Cangtian recognized.
They were the two beauties he often chatted with when he was a security guard at Haitian Pharmaceutical.
After escorting these people to the office building, Tang Xinwan got busy with these elites, leaving Ye Cangtian aside.
Ye Cangtian had nothing to do, but he received a call from Shangguan Yun.
Shangguan Yun clearly wanted to know about Huang Jiu, but little did he know that Ye Cangtian had many things he wanted to ask him.
They arranged a meeting place and met half an hour later.
In a teahouse near the office building, Shangguan Yun said with a grave expression, "Brother Ye, can you tell me how you became an undercover agent? Did the Dark Association recruit you into their organization?"
Ye Cangtian raised his eyebrows. This guy was quite direct.
He didn't hide anything, as the matter of Batianhu could be easily investigated. So he said directly, "Do you know Batianhu from Yangzhou? He is a member of the Dark Association." Sudan Novel Network
Shangguan Yun did know Batianhu. When he investigated Ye Cangtian before, he had found information about Batianhu.
However, he was still a bit confused, "Batianhu is at most a Yellow rank member of the Dark Association, right? You got on his line? No, Batianhu died at the hands of Liu Rumei and the others because of you."
Ye Cangtian's lips curled slightly, "Batianhu is Huang Jiu!"
Shangguan Yun's eyes widened, and he asked tentatively, "You mean, after Batianhu became a Yellow rank member, he never wore a mask?"
After seeing Ye Cangtian nod in affirmation, Shangguan Yun could almost piece together the whole story.
After Batianhu died, Ye Cangtian obtained the man's mask. However, because the mask did not recognize him through blood, he successfully became Huang Jiu, a Yellow rank member of the Dark Association!
Such luck... was truly unparalleled!
Shangguan Yun said with a wry smile, "So when we met the night before last, you were being secretive, but in fact, you had no understanding of the internal situation of the Dark Association, right?"
Ye Cangtian shrugged, then his lips curved slightly, "I've answered your questions. Now it's my turn!"
"Then how did you become a member of the Dark Association? Don't tell me it's the same as my situation, I don't believe it!"
One coincidence was enough. Ye Cangtian didn't believe Shangguan Yun had the same situation as him.
Shangguan Yun said with a wry smile, he knew that his question wouldn't be easy.
After hesitating for a long time, Shangguan Yun finally gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, it's fine to tell you. You have to keep this a secret for me."
Seeing Ye Cangtian nod, he took a deep breath.
"The reason I was able to become a member of the Dark Association is that I have someone in the Dark Association."
