Chapter 25 The sound of a jade flute under the moon, a melody that soars the soul.



The top-floor office of the BYD Group headquarters building.

Xiao Wujie stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his slender figure gently outlined by the surrounding neon lights and starlight.

A gentle breeze ruffled his dark hair, carrying a hint of coolness and the distant, ceaseless clamor.

His gaze was deep, penetrating the glass window as he stared at the dim lights below.

Standing atop this skyscraper, the city lights outside the window resemble countless stars fallen to earth, weaving a dazzling net of light. The city's veins extend beneath your feet, like a flowing scroll painting.

The silhouettes of skyscrapers appear even more three-dimensional in the night, and the lights of thousands of homes twinkle like stars, each telling its own story.

He really enjoyed the feeling of climbing to a high place alone and gazing into the distance.

Standing at this height, the hustle and bustle of the world seems to be left far behind, leaving only oneself and the infinite universe.

Loneliness here is no longer a burden, but an enjoyment, an opportunity to converse with one's own soul and share a drink with the world.

Perhaps true height is never a physical distance, but rather the boundary that the mind can reach.

But standing at this physical height, one seems to be able to reach the peak of one's own soul.

One can see the vastness of heaven and earth, and the insignificance of human life.

It's as if you can hear the footsteps of time and feel the long river of history flowing slowly beneath your feet...

“Boss, there are many people outside the group. They have been lurking here ever since you acquired those companies this afternoon.”

Biyander Parker bowed and appeared behind Xiao Wujie, interrupting him softly with a slight glint in his eyes.

"You're quite clever, suspecting things so quickly?"

Xiao Wujie slightly curled the corners of his lips and chuckled.

"Ha! Chu Yichen already harbors deep suspicions about you. Your intention to sabotage someone couldn't be clearer. It would be a miracle if he didn't suspect you."

Lu Zhufeng, who was sitting on the sofa drinking coffee, couldn't help but retort upon hearing this.

He drank his coffee while simultaneously frowning repeatedly.

"Hey, you old foreigner, what's with these imported coffee beans? Are you kidding me? They're so bitter! They're not even as good as that other coffee brand!"

Biyander Parker: "..."

After a while, Biyander Parker hesitated and asked:

"Boss, there are quite a few people lying in ambush outside. Why don't you rest here tonight?"

Xiao Wujie glanced at him with interest upon hearing his words.

It is often said that foreigners are too straightforward and don't understand the Chinese concept of social etiquette.

But the foreign old man that Lu Zhufeng was talking about was not like that at all.

The old man was clearly saying that there were too many people outside, so it was best not to alert them and to stay here tonight to avoid trouble.

No matter how much Chu Yichen suspected, he ultimately lacked evidence; otherwise, he wouldn't have simply planted people to ambush him here.

Without evidence, it's impossible to stay here any longer; if you don't get what you want, you'll leave.

But he deliberately didn't explain it clearly, only offering a suggestion, leaving the opportunity to shine to the Boss, and subtly expressing his opinion.

hehe!

They really are cunning old men and slippery old horses.

That old dog knows it very well!

Biyander Parker couldn't help but chuckle when Xiao Wujie looked at him like that.

Xiao Wujie then shook his head and said calmly:

"No need. Just help me fabricate a plausible travel itinerary. You don't need to worry about the rest."

Biyander Parker's suggestion was not wrong, but since Chu Yichen suspected him, he would not just stay here, but would definitely send people to investigate his whereabouts in secret.

However, he did not intend to hide there for one night; other methods might be just as effective as avoiding battle.

Since Chu Yichen was so eager to catch him, he decided to comply today.

It's still uncertain who will be the one to be squatted on.

BYD Group

Night, like a giant black veil, gently covers every corner of the city, making the originally bustling streets appear exceptionally quiet.

The dim light of the streetlights struggled to penetrate the thick darkness, but could only illuminate a small area, leaving large shadows swaying uncertainly along the roadside.

An eerie atmosphere permeated the air, and the occasional footsteps and whispers were like fallen leaves in the night wind, fleeting and ephemeral.

On this seemingly peaceful night, countless silent and unnoticed figures lurk within the entire BYD Group.

Their eyes were sharp as they stared at every entrance and exit, their breathing light and rhythmic, as if they were completely blending into the night.

They had only one task: to keep an eye on and record every person and every vehicle that came in and out, not even a mosquito could be easily missed.

However, the target, whose appearance was astonishing, has yet to appear.

Further away, a low-key black luxury car was hidden in the night, with Chu Feihong and his son Chu Yichen sitting inside with cold expressions.

"Chen'er, are you sure this matter is related to Xiao Wujie and Chu Liyue? As far as I know, Chu Liyue should be discussing business with an overseas company today, and should be attending a banquet at the Hua Mansion at this time."

Chu Feihong asked, his thin face clouded with gloom. If today's events were a coincidence, no one would believe it; it was obvious that someone was deliberately targeting him behind his back.

"I'm not sure. But today's events are too strange, and I have a feeling that they are involved."

Chu Yichen said in a deep voice, his face expressionless.

He didn't have any evidence, but he had a feeling that this matter was inextricably linked to Xiao Wujie and Chu Liyue.

Especially Xiao Wujie, this kind of thing that targets people's mentality is not like Chu Liyue's style. As proud as she is, she would not stoop to doing such a thing.
