"What? Chairman Ye, if I may ask, it seems that this recorded course was not included in our plans at the beginning of the year."

Secretary Lin had long been involved in the affairs of the education company and was extremely familiar with these projects. She didn't understand why this action was necessary.

Yelena pointed to the video still playing on the screen, a smile appearing on her face.

"Because our opponents are going to use the same old tricks to catch us off guard, we must seize the initiative."

Xiao Lin shook his head: "Chairman Ye, I am not very knowledgeable. May I ask for your guidance?"

Yelena gestured for her to sit down, and Xiaolin sat down, looking at Yelena with excitement. Opportunities to receive direct instruction from Chairman Ye were rare.

"According to the intelligence we have, Chen Rui and Chen Luo from Bilibili met in Hangzhou last night."

"This means that Chen Luo will cooperate with Bilibili. Considering the current situation of friend and foe, what can you imagine?"

Assistant Lin lowered his head, thought for a moment, and then blurted out.

"The videos for online education are being placed on Bilibili (a Chinese video-sharing website) to expand their influence and seize market share in the education industry!"

"Looks like you're not completely stupid. Now you understand why I'm rushing to record and upload these courses, right?"

"Understood. We must seize the initiative this time and absolutely cannot fall behind. Thank you, Chairman Ye. I have learned a great deal. I will make the arrangements right away!"

Assistant Lin stood up and was about to leave.

"etc!"

"Chairman Ye, is there anything else you need?"

A glint of light flashed in Yelena's eyes, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.

"Have all the saboteurs that Chen Luo and his team sent out been found?"

"Yes, our people have been following them, and they all seem to be gathered near the villa area in the south of the city."

"Chairman Ye, what do you mean?"

"We'll clean them up this afternoon, so they won't have any chance to cause trouble and it won't affect our plans."

"Yes, I'll arrange the manpower right away!"

Assistant Lin went out and closed the door. Yelena turned around and looked at the video on the screen.

"Chen Luo, don't blame me for being ruthless. Giving it my all is the greatest respect I can show you."

"After this war is over, I hope we'll still have the chance to sit together and drink milk tea?"

...

Tang Xiwei's villa in the southern villa district of the city.

"Useless! You're all a bunch of useless trash!"

"They couldn't even withstand a few punches and kicks from the other side, and several of them were even arrested!"

"I really don't know what the young master is raising you for! Are you all just wasting food here?"

Tang Xiwei stood in the middle of the hall, facing more than twenty members of the action team who were bowing their heads and being scolded.

These team members are generally between 20 and 30 years old, in their prime, and are the ones responsible for leading the charge.

They had sabotaged projects for dozens of companies under Wen Shao's orders, and had almost never failed before.

However, this time, thanks to Tang Xiwei's wisdom, they suffered heavy losses and were completely overwhelmed by the opponent.

Not only did the operation fail, but four people were also arrested on charges of stealing trade secrets.

It was a disastrous defeat.

"President Tang, this time the other side has sent several veterans at the vice president level to be stationed in the organization to prepare for our attack. It seems they were prepared in advance, which may involve the issue of leaks."

Assistant Bao tried to calm Tang Xiwei down while giving the others meaningful glances.

"Yes, Mr. Tang, when we went to poach people, that top lecturer reported me that very day. The vice president immediately brought people to find me. If I hadn't run fast, I might not have made it back."

"That's right, our group is in the same situation. We originally wanted to poach their customers, but those people just published our information!"

"This is clearly a trap set for us to fall into!"

Everyone chimed in with their own explanations, which basically boiled down to the fact that there was a mole and the deal had been sabotaged.

"Bang!"

Tang Xiwei smashed the cup in her hand onto the ground, and shards of glass shattered and splashed onto the pants of several people.

"Excuses! They're all just excuses!"

"Besides! You all know there's a traitor, so tell me! Who is the traitor? Find him!"

"Enough with the nonsense! It's clearly all your fault, go and explain to the young master yourselves!"

That's a really clean way of shifting the blame!

Everyone secretly rolled their eyes, secretly looking down on Tang Xiwei.

Ultimately, you are the overall commander in charge of this operation.

The result was that they simply relayed the young master's order and then went off to stay in villas, go shopping, and visit male models at clubs, offering absolutely no help in actually giving orders.

Even if we take a step back and assume that something unexpected happened during this operation, shouldn't it be up to you, the commander, to handle the emergency?

The only thing they did was come over and yell at us; they offered no other constructive suggestions.

In the end, they even shifted the blame onto us. I really don't understand why the young master sent this complete idiot here.

Did she think we were too much of a burden and send her to use us as a tool to kill us all?

These people are still young, and they can't control their expressions at will. Their faces are all very ugly, and their eyes are full of anger.

Tang Xiwei felt a little uneasy under the gazes of more than twenty people, and swallowed the words that were about to come out.

"Ding-dong! Ding-dong!"

The doorbell rang at the villa, and a voice came from outside.

"Hello, I'm here to check the water meter! Open the door!"

"Assistant Bao! Go open the door! What the hell? They're checking the water meters in the villa area! Get them out of here!"

Assistant Bao quickly walked to the door and opened it without thinking twice.

Before he could react, a group of people in police uniforms, armed with guns, rushed in.

They shoved Assistant Bao to the ground, and then a policewoman rushed in first.

The policewoman exuded a heroic spirit, her movements nimble, and she gave a sharp shout to the crowd.

"I am Su Qing, the deputy captain of the Economic Crime Investigation Division of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Someone has reported that you have stolen trade secrets and engaged in economic crimes. Come with us to the police station immediately for investigation!"

Dozens of police officers subdued everyone. Tang Xiwei quickly picked up her phone and sent a few words to Wen Shao.

[Something's happened, help me!]

Before she could even send a second message, Su Qing snatched her phone away.

"Put it down! No tipping off anyone is allowed!"

"Give it back to me!"

Enraged, Tang Xiwei lunged forward, baring her teeth and claws, but Su Qing instinctively took a step back.

"Smack!"

Tang Xiwei slapped Su Qing's face with her right hand, the sound crisp and clear.

"hiss!"

The surrounding police officers gasped in shock; someone actually dared to hit their deputy captain!

Holy crap! You probably don't know she's the provincial-level Sanda champion!

She could easily take on ten of us men by herself, you know?

"I...I didn't mean to!"

Tang Xiwei was about to explain when Su Qing grabbed her hand, turned around, and threw her over his shoulder.

With a loud "bang!", Tang Xiwei's small body crashed heavily onto the floor, feeling as if her bones had shattered and her internal organs had shifted.

"Take him back! This person might be the ringleader, and he's also suspected of assaulting a police officer!"

"Yes, Captain Su!"

Two policewomen quickly came up, handcuffed Tang Xiwei, and put her directly into the police car. Once Tang Xiwei was in the car, she immediately...

I cried!

This is the second time!

So you're back in jail for the second time!

How did I end up in jail again?!

This time, I really have nothing to do with it!

I was really just relaying orders; I didn't direct their actions.

...

That night, at the White Horse Hotel.

Chen Rui and Su Qiang were eagerly waiting at the door for Chen Luo and Wen Wan to arrive.

"It's here! It's here! Isn't that the car?"

A Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of the hotel, and Chen Luo and Wen Wan slowly got out of the car.

"No, Su Qiang, can you calm down and be more composed?"

"I can't calm down!"

As soon as Su Qiang finished speaking, her eyes lit up and she ran towards the two of them.

Wen Wan saw Su Qiang running over from afar, and immediately stepped forward to block Chen Luo.

Could it be that this female vice president of Bilibili is also here to steal Chen Luo away?
