Yan Fei and Lu Qianyu sat face to face at the tea table, the elegant aroma of black tea lingering in the tea room.
Silence had spread since they reached a consensus.
Lu Qianyu didn't know what her boss was planning.
But since the other party didn't continue speaking, it means that now is not the time to talk about things.
He remained quiet, just like when he first entered the room, waiting for Yan Fei to speak first before he spoke.
Meanwhile, he glanced at the glass fish tank under the windowsill.
The leaf sheep inside were shaking their furry bodies and eating the light algae.
Looking up, outside the window are the glazed street lamps floating everywhere in Chongming City, continuously emitting soft and bright white light.
The light shines in through a huge stained glass window, illuminating the beautiful naturally formed texture on the rock wall of the trench opposite the window.
After the last lamp drifted away from here, Yan Fei continued to introduce the protagonist of tomorrow's birthday banquet.
"Guarding Xiang Ming, Yuan Rong, Yuan Yuan, and Yuan Li, we need to pay special attention to these four sea dragon spirits tomorrow."
"Guan Xiangming is the current Prime Minister of the Sea Clan, the former head of the Guan family, and the 'birthday star' of this banquet."
"It is said that in order to avoid suspicion, the current head of the Guan family has given the title of Guan Yucheng to his eldest son, but everyone still calls him the old head of the family."
Yan Fei shook the teacup in his hand and chuckled.
"Oh, I understand."
He took a sip of his tea and continued.
"Yuan Rong, Yuan Yuan, and Yuan Li are the three heirs of the current Dragon Spirit royal family who actually hold the right of succession."
"The eldest prince, Yuanrong, is the eldest son who is strongly supported by the aristocratic families. The faction I am currently in is the eldest prince's party."
When he said this, there was obvious contempt in his intact gray-white eye.
Lu Qianyu understood the meaning of his words.
This eldest son is probably a puppet of the aristocratic family.
The two of them tacitly agreed not to continue discussing the eldest prince in depth, and the topic turned to the next important person.
"The Second Prince, Yuanyuan, and his princess consort are the eldest daughter of the steward, and have a certain prestige among the high-ranking officials of the Sea Clan."
Yan Fei's voice suddenly dropped. "The Dragon King seems to be intending for the Second Prince to inherit the throne."
As expected.
Lu Qianyu nodded to show that she understood.
The eldest son was unable to suppress the aristocratic family and was instead controlled by them. It is understandable that he wanted to pass the throne to his second son.
However, the use of the word "suspected" suggests that there may be other hidden secrets, which prevented the second prince from directly sitting on the position of crown prince.
"Finally, the Third Prince Yuanli is very popular among the people."
"Plus, he was the one who captured Mao City not long ago, and he has won over some officials of commoner origins."
"However, he is nearly ten years younger than the other two princes. He has only been in the decision-making level for a short time and is currently at a disadvantage."
After Yan Fei finished introducing the four sea creatures, a glass street lamp happened to float in from outside the window.
After waiting for nothing else outside the window, Yan Fei continued, "The day of deciding the crown prince is approaching. If we don't act now, we will have no chance."
"This birthday banquet not only brings together almost all the top executives, but also happens to be right after we captured Mao City, so there's a high probability of something going wrong."
"Adapt to the circumstances, gather as much intelligence as possible, and in an emergency, prioritize your own safety."
Lu Qianyu looked into Yan Fei's eyes and nodded solemnly.
Looking into Yan Fei's eyes face to face, he observed some more details.
The intact eye seemed to be slightly different from the eyes of humans, and the pupil seemed to be closer to a vertical pupil.
He secretly noted this detail and replied, "I understand."
"Well, go down and get busy first."
Before Lu Qianyu stood up and prepared to leave, Yan Fei suddenly added another sentence.
"Oh right, this is a leaf sheep. It feeds on light algae and will glow when it senses sudden large fluctuations in psychic energy."
"Put it in your equipment room as an extra layer of insurance."
He picked up the small glass fish tank that Lu Qianyu had been staring at for a while when she came in, and handed it to her.
Lu Qianyu looked at the little pet that was handed to her, was stunned for a moment, and then slowly took it.
"Thank you. I'll go down first."
He had no reason to refuse the other party's kindness, and also expressed his understanding that his basic information was known.
The gray-white eyes that seemed to see through everything stared at him, and he left the tea room slowly.
"Let's not talk about whether he has outstanding professional and technical abilities."
After all, he hasn't set up the communication chain yet, and a good cook cannot cook without rice.
"But this understanding alone is enough."
He is a talented person with a clean background. No wonder he was sent here right after graduation.
It seems that the performance report was not written in vain.
Yan Fei was drinking tea in a good mood, with unclear thoughts brewing in his gray eyes.
He looked out the window, and then inexplicably found himself staring at Lord Jianjia and the people on the opposite sidewalk.
"Um?"
Although their sights separated in an instant, the hairs standing on end told Yan Fei that the owner of those dark red eyes was very dangerous.
“Knock, knock, knock!”
There was a light tapping sound on the table, and then a dark figure emerged from the shadows of the tea room.
"The guy on the opposite sidewalk."
"Male, of striking appearance, approximately 180cm tall, with black hair and dark red eyes. He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and black pants."
As soon as the words fell, the shadow disappeared.
I don't have any impression of this kind of person. Could he be a spy sent by another race?
Yan Fei's expression was solemn, his fingers gently stroking the teacup, and he continued to watch the hustle and bustle below quietly.
