Meanwhile, Xia Linyuan had arrived home under the moonlight and could see two busy figures inside through the lamplight. Xia Linyuan let out a deep breath.

Xia Linyuan slowly walked into the house. As soon as he opened the door, he was greeted by a red carpet with the words "Safe Passage" written in yellow on the red background. Further ahead, there was a pair of slippers placed in front of him.

Xia Linyuan felt a warmth in his heart.

It does have a bit of a homey feel to it.

As Xia Linyuan moved in, the house was filled with all sorts of decorations and household items. Clearly, the two Gao brothers had put in a lot of effort.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! What is this thing? A spirit?!?"

"Fuck him!"

Seemingly sensing Xia Linyuan's return, the five little devils rushed out from the corner, prompting the Gao brothers to chase and attack them.

Five little devils flew directly in front of Xia Linyuan and circled around him, their dark faces expressionless. Their meaning could only be deciphered through their body language.

But their limbs are very short, about the size of an egg. (Pointing to the Gao brothers flying rapidly around Xia Linyuan.)

The Gao brothers stopped their pursuit in front of Xia Linyuan: "Brother Xia, what are these five black lumps of coal...?"

Xia Linyuan reassured the five ghosts guarding the house: "These are the five ghosts that protect the house. I kept them to guard the door."

"This little gadget can guard the house? It'll be hard to even protect itself in an emergency..."

Gao Zhan curled his lip and said.

Gao Yuan raised an eyebrow: "Idiot, if you can't keep an eye on superhumans, can't you keep an eye on ordinary people? Your judgment is so shallow!! Don't you know there are so many weirdos among ordinary people! Some can ride a bicycle dozens of miles over the wall to live in your house!!"

Gao Zhan crossed his arms and said dismissively, "If they want to stay, let them stay."

"It's just staff dormitory anyway."

Xia Linyuan rolled his eyes at the two clowns: "How much? I'll reimburse you both."

Gao Zhan pulled out a crumpled receipt from his pocket, and Xia Linyuan saw that it cost over 20,000 yuan! Upon closer inspection, he realized that a single shampoo had cost him over 300 yuan!

Xia Linyuan pursed his lips: "Who paid?"

"I paid..."

Gao Yuan grinned and said, "Brother Xia, the two of us I picked out for you aren't cheap stuff. They're mid-range, a bit of luxury. If it's anything too extravagant, the two of us won't be able to afford it."

Xia Linyuan sighed and transferred the money.

Then he quietly went upstairs.

"Gao Yuan, is Xia Ge unhappy...?"

He asked Gao Zhan.

Gao Yuan, looking thoughtful and serious, said, "Perhaps the things we buy are too low-end... Brother Xia didn't like them..."

Gao Zhan nodded: "Possibly..."

.........

Xia Linyuan returned to his room and turned on the light, only to find a computer in his spacious room. The computer looked like the kind you'd find in an internet cafe for eight yuan an hour. In front of him was a white leather gaming sofa, and next to it were piles of documents.

"good."

Xia Linyuan gave a thumbs-up and sat down on the gaming sofa.

Picking up the files of the Wang family members, he flipped through them one by one...

The Wang family is large and powerful; if you look closely, you'll find that very few of its members are clean.

Wang Tao, Wang Chengzhi, Wang Jiajun...

These three individuals are impeccably clean. Their work, abilities, and character are all impeccable.

Xia Linyuan opened his computer and searched for the specific details of Wang Tao's acquisition of a company.

The truly problematic events usually occur in dark and inconspicuous corners. Xia Linyuan looked at the documents while searching for the information he needed on his computer, looking for a way out.

Suddenly, he discovered someone on the computer.

He Cun is the second largest shareholder of one of the brands.

Xia Linyuan glanced at He Cun's file, a white flame gradually igniting in his eyes...

...

The next day, Xia Linyuan rented a car and took the Gao brothers to a restaurant brand company.

Gao Yuan peered out of the car: "Brother Xia, what's going on?"

Xia Linyuan was dressed in a suit and tie, looking every bit the social elite. Gao Zhan was applying makeup and disguising Xia Linyuan.

"Looking for someone..."

"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?"

Gao Yuan asked in confusion.

Xia Linyuan smiled slightly: "There is a shareholder in a restaurant. He Cun."

"He Cun? Why are you looking for him?"

"There's a brand whose current president owns 47% of the shares, while He Cun owns 20%. Both are self-made. The Wang family is acquiring a brand, and if He Cun doesn't betray them, the Wang family won't succeed. I believe that He Cun knows a lot about the inside story behind the company's sudden agreement to sell at a bargain price..."

Gao Zhan asked in confusion, "Why not just go directly to that former CEO of one of those companies?"

Xia Linyuan glanced at Gao Zhan: "The previous boss sold the company and went abroad. But He Cun stayed to work here."

"Going abroad? Oh my god, is it going to be an escape?"

Gao Yuan suddenly spoke up, as if struck by a sudden thought.

"Idiot, if the Wang family wanted to target an ordinary person, they would have done it already. Why would they send someone abroad? Are you out of your mind? Don't ever say you share my surname when you're abroad... I'll be ashamed." Gao Zhan seized the opportunity to unleash a torrent of abuse on Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan's arm veins bulged instantly. "What the hell!"

Xia Linyuan swiftly grabbed Gao Yuan's shoulder: "Relax, this car is rented..."

Gao Yuan gasped in pain. He quickly released the steering wheel, clutching his head and saying, "Brother Xia, so you think the Wang family didn't target the former CEO of one of the companies, but instead targeted He Cun?"

Xia Linyuan: "It's highly likely... He Cun may have betrayed the previous president for some indescribable reason, in collusion with other shareholders."

"The reason? Brother Xia, do you know him?"

Gao Yuan said in surprise.

By this time, Gao Zhan had finished doing Xia Linyuan's makeup.

Hearing Gao Yuan's question.

Xia Linyuan opened the photo album, flipped to a photo, and carefully compared it with the rearview mirror in the car.

After confirming everything was correct, he said, "I don't know He Cun now. But I know him from seven years ago..."

Xia Linyuan flipped through his phone, showed Gao Yuan the photos in the album, and smiled.

Chapter 118 Accepting Old Age

Gao Yuan looked at the people in the photo album, then at Xia Linyuan after he finished his makeup. The two looked about 60% alike.

Gao Zhan is not a master of disguise; he can only create an overall resemblance in his facial features by drawing eyebrows and nose.

But these similarities were enough for Xia Linyuan.

Xia Linyuan slightly adjusted his posture and expression, and the resemblance was almost perfect.

"Where's the forged work badge?"

"At this."

Gao Zhan took out a small blue tag from his pocket and put it around Xia Linyuan's neck.

After checking everything and confirming that everything was in order, Xia Linyuan entered the company. He ruffled his hair, picked up a sesame seed cake, and put it in his mouth.

Her deep eyes gradually became clear.

8:30 AM is exactly the company's start time.

Xia Linyuan was dressed in casual work clothes, which made him stand out from the other men in suits and ties.

Xia Linyuan walked up, and the security guard at the entrance was about to stop him. Xia Linyuan simply raised his work badge and was about to rush in, but the security guard glanced at him and still stopped him.

"Young man, is this for real?"

"Of course it's true! I passed the interview and got my employee badge yesterday."

Xia Linyuan shoved the biscuit out of his mouth in a flash, pointing at himself in disbelief. His face, made unusually sculpted by the drawing, leaned forward, as if to let the security guard get a good look at him.

The security guard's eyes went unfocused: "Oh, I think I've seen you before, but why aren't you wearing a suit?"

Xia Linyuan smiled shyly: "I'll buy it after I make money."

"I understand, I understand. But our boss seems to require formal attire for all employees. Are you sure you can pull that off?"

The security guard couldn't help but worry about Xia Linyuan.

"When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it! I'm off to work now, bro."
