On the way, Shi Feng was a little reserved, even hesitant to speak.
Taking advantage of a noisy road section at a certain turn, he quietly suggested to Ye Lan, "Why don't you call the chairman of the Xiao Group first."
Last time in Yeguang City, he could see how Xiao Yunting valued and treated the girl differently.
Although he was not sure how much say he had in front of the official high-ranking officials as the richest man, it was still enough for Ye Lan, who was alone and powerless, to have a backer.
Unfortunately, Ye Lan did not accept his proposal.
"No, he's busy."
"..." Shi Feng was a little confused, even thinking the girl was foolish, having found a powerful guardian yet still shouldering everything on her own. He looked at the girl's calm profile and asked, "Aren't you nervous or afraid?"
To be honest, he was so nervous that his palms were sweating.
Ye Lan shook his head and pointed to his phone, saying, "I'll call someone."
After all, it is a big occasion, so we really can’t be too shabby.
Shi Feng didn't take her words to heart, because he knew Ye Lan's background and experience too well. He was a solitary person and only knew some wealthy businessmen. None of them actually held real power.
The superior has ulterior motives and is afraid that the girl will suffer.
The car drove from south to north, quickly leaving the imperial capital and approaching the three northeastern provinces, turning into an intersection in the suburbs.
Ye Lan's expression froze, and he looked toward the windshield in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows.
I didn't expect that this group of people changed places again.
When the car arrived in front of the mountain, Shi Feng was still a little confused.
"Aren't you going to a meeting? Why did you bring us here?" He became alert and subconsciously moved closer to Ye Lan, fearing that the higher-ups wanted to kill them to silence them, and was ready to fight back and escape with Ye Lan at any time.
Seeing that he was tense and sweat was breaking out on his forehead, Ye Lan couldn't help but explain: "This is a barrier."
The faint voice echoed in the car, soothing Shi Feng's uneasy heart.
"I was so scared. I wondered why we were brought here for no reason." He patted his chest, still in shock.
At this time, the driver in front glanced at Ye Lan through the rearview mirror.
He was silent all the way, with a cold expression and sharp eyes. It was obvious that he was a well-trained master, but now there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Then he opened the window, took a remote control of the long-range ray, and pressed the switch in front of him.
A talisman composed of red light shot out. When it hit the air, the air suddenly vibrated, and the scene in front of their eyes suddenly changed.
The originally bare mountain only had a dirt slope. Beyond a small forest planted on top, there were several towering buildings inside.
The tall buildings rising from the ground have a solemn and smooth appearance, with a metallic texture on the exterior walls. The commercial vehicles passing by are coated with a thick protective layer, and the pedestrians coming and going in a hurry are all office workers wearing suits and holding documents.
This is where the entire Chinese nation’s leaders and senior officials currently work.
Ye Lan and Shi Feng got out of the car in front of the Council Building and walked up the stairs into the hall.
"Captain Shi, Miss Ye, hello. The conference room is on the 21st floor. Please follow me this way."
A young woman dressed as a front desk staff came out and skillfully led the way for them.
Shi Feng could tell from the thin calluses on the opponent's knuckles and the muscles on his calves that the opponent was quite skilled, perhaps even stronger than him.
After getting on the elevator, they both remained silent.
Working in a place like this, where there are surveillance cameras almost everywhere, the clearest option is to listen less and do less.
When we arrived at the 21st floor, the elevator door opened and we saw guards on both sides holding guns and wearing bulletproof vests.
There was also a well-mannered office staff in front, holding a scanning device in his hand.
"Captain Shi, Miss Ye, please stand over here. To ensure the smooth running of the meeting, we need to conduct some safety checks first."
The other party smiled warmly, but his attitude did not allow for rejection.
"It's just a routine rule, Master Ye, don't mind it." Shi Feng subconsciously turned sideways and explained to the girl.
Because when they hired the girls before, they offered them the highest treatment. Not to mention checking them, they didn't even dare to ask any questions when they entered or left the special management department.
Now, he was afraid of causing dissatisfaction among the girls.
But in fact, Ye Lan was not so ignorant of the current situation. He walked over and raised his hands to accept inspection with a normal expression.
On the contrary, Shi Feng had many injuries and nails inserted into his body, which triggered the instrument several times, making him blush and feel a little at a loss.
After passing this level, the two were brought to a towering gate.
The solemn and orderly brown door slowly opened, revealing a glimpse of the spacious interior.
The person Shi Feng saw coming into view was his immediate superior, the *** who was now in charge of the domestic police system, but he only occupied the last seat at the conference table.
This arrangement made his heart beat like a drum instantly, and he realized that today's grand scene might be far beyond his expectations.
So, a second before stepping into the room, he stopped the girl next to him and quickly whispered, "If there's anything you can't explain clearly later, just push it onto me."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lan glanced at him for the first time, not understanding why he was so protective of her.
They had only worked together a few times and didn't have much of a relationship with each other.
Shi Feng saw the confusion in her eyes and smiled bitterly, feeling somewhat helpless. "Although you may think these are trivial matters, you have indeed saved my brother and I. I must repay this kindness."
