Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu's face immediately turned ugly.

On the other end of the phone, Ji Xiaojun said somewhat tactfully, "Ruoyu, there's a gathering at Bajinglou today. As you know, this cooperation was secured through Wang Shao's connections."

"If this cooperation falls through, not only will the situation at the branch office be precarious, but my position at headquarters will also be at risk."

Ji Xiaojun didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was already quite clear.

After her expression changed several times, Ji Ruoyu finally sighed and said, "I understand, Dad. I will attend the banquet, but I can't guarantee that Young Master Wang will be willing to accept it."

“As long as you go, daughter, there won’t be any problems with Young Master Wang,” Ji Xiaojun said quickly.

He knew very well how infatuated Wang Baji was with his daughter.

If it weren't for this project, I would have lost my position as project manager at head office long ago.

In the car, Ye Chen looked at Ji Ruoyu's unpleasant expression and knew that there was probably trouble again.

"What's wrong, honey? What happened? You look so worried."

"Tell me about it, maybe I can help you sort it out."

Ji Ruoyu gave a wry smile and said, "It's good enough that you're not causing any trouble for me."

Wang Baji's strong reaction today is probably because he was provoked by that phone call last night.

However, Ji Ruoyu didn't tell Ye Chen, since it wouldn't make a difference anyway.

Soon, the car stopped in front of the company.

Ji Ruoyu said, "You get out of the car first, I have something to do."

Without waiting for Ye Chen's response, she drove off on her own.

As the car drove away, Ye Chen frowned. With her keen hearing, she had naturally overheard the contents of the phone call.

I originally wanted to step in and resolve the issue, but I didn't expect Ji Ruoyu to be so uncooperative.

"Grandpa, your grandson called!"

"Grandpa, your grandson called!"

Hearing the phone ring, Ye Chen took out his phone and saw the number on it.

Ye Chen frowned and answered the phone: "What's wrong? Didn't I tell you that if I don't look for you, you'll just stay put?"

"Well, Young Master Ye, yes, it's like this, the matter you asked me to investigate has yielded some results."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen nodded as if he had thought of something and said, "Okay, you're at Bajing Tower, right? I'll call you when I get there."

After saying that, Ye Chen thought for a moment and decided to go back to the company to change his clothes and get ready.

In his previous life, he never found out about his origins until his death.

Moreover, he vaguely felt that his death might also be related to his background.

In this life, he must be even more careful to avoid repeating the same mistakes...

As dusk settles, the streets remain bustling with people, and the flashing neon lights illuminate the vibrant cityscape.

The taxi stopped in front of the Bajing Tower. Standing in front of the tower, Ye Chen looked up at the luxurious and magnificent building.

The overall style is ancient, modeled after ancient pavilions, combined with modern technology.

The building has eight floors, and at each corner, two brackets extend outwards, forming an octagonal shape, hence the name Bajing Tower (Eight Views Tower).

It's not simply a nine-story building; it's divided into four lower floors and four upper floors.

Even if it's just the fourth floor, which only offers catering services, it's a place that only the wealthy and powerful can afford to buy.

Going up to the fourth floor, you'll find the largest club in Wucheng, where a single night's spending can equal the annual revenue of many companies.

The reason for building only eight stories instead of nine is that nine is the extreme of numbers, which occupies the secrets of heaven. Too much of anything is a loss, so eight stories is the best.

The eight-story building corresponds to the eight corners, symbolizing wealth coming from all directions and the convergence of fortune, making it difficult not to get rich.

On the surface, the Eight Views Tower belongs to Liu Wenwan, but behind it is Du Haijun.

Upon reaching the door, it was clear that someone had already given instructions.

Upon seeing Ye Chen, a woman with a slender figure, wearing a bodycon skirt and black stockings, stepped forward and respectfully said, "Young Master Ye, hello. President Liu has made arrangements here. Please follow me."

The woman led the way, and Ye Chen walked behind her.

My gaze was instinctively drawn to the swaying waist and the swinging taillights.

The woman seemed to sense Ye Chen's aggressive gaze, and her face flushed slightly.

We went through the VIP passage and went directly to the eighth floor, which is also the place in the Eight Views Building that is specially used to entertain top-level VIPs.

Stepping out of the elevator, you are greeted by a huge solid wood door, with two door gods carved on it, looking fierce and imposing.

Two bodyguards in black stood on either side of the door.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the two bodyguards glanced at him and then ignored him.

The main gate opened from the inside, revealing the interior, behind which was a screen wall.

Ye Chen walked around the screen wall and saw a huge round table that could probably hold at least thirty people.

On the round table, various delicacies were still laid out and slowly rotating, while in the center of the table, three women were performing a dance.

A middle-aged man who looked somewhat honest and whose face was slightly chubby sat to the side.

It was Du Haijun, the richest man in Wucheng. Upon seeing Ye Chen arrive, Du Haijun quickly stood up.

Ye Chen waved his hand slightly, and Du Haijun understood, waving his hand back to dismiss everyone else.

He then respectfully said, "Greetings, Young Master Ye."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Tell me, what information did you find?"

Du Haijun nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, and then slowly spoke after leading Ye Chen to sit down.

"Based on the information you provided, I have been investigating in Wucheng for several years and have finally found some clues."

"Twenty-five years ago, a couple came to Wucheng, but we don't know their names."

"All we know is that his surname is Ye. It is said that he fled from other places and settled down here."

"After three years of peaceful life, we had a child, and then on the night the child turned three, the whole family disappeared and the house burned down."

"There are rumors that enemies came knocking, and some people even heard fighting and screams, but there weren't many traces at the scene."

However, a few days later, when the old master of the Ji family was praying for blessings by the river with his wife.

I saw a wooden basin floating downstream, and in the basin was a three-year-old child, which is you, young master.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen frowned slightly. He couldn't remember what had happened that night when he was three years old.

I only have nightmares occasionally, seeing blood and flashing blades, but I can never see what's behind the blood and flashing blades.

"Where is that old house? And what is the whereabouts of that couple? Is there any record of their names or information?"

Du Haijun shook his head and said, "The couple's whereabouts are still unknown, as for that old house..."

Seeing Du Haijun hesitate, Ye Chen frowned and said, "What's wrong? Is finding a house really that hard for you?"

Upon hearing this, Du Haijun smiled wryly and said, "It's not difficult, but it's a bit troublesome."

"After the couple disappeared, the local police simply made a brief record of the situation."

"Shortly afterward, a fire broke out at the Public Security Bureau, and some files were destroyed."

"Even the neighbors around here have either died or left within just six months, and now they can't be found anywhere."

"That old house area has long been redeveloped, and all traces of the past have been completely erased."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen immediately understood that none of this was an accident, but rather something deliberately done by someone.

At this point, Du Haijun dropped another bombshell: "During my investigation, I discovered that there might be official involvement behind this."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen frowned even more deeply. Who exactly were his parents, and why had they attracted the attention of the authorities?

After pondering for a long time, Ye Chen still had no clue, so he turned to look at Du Haijun.

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Chen took out a jade medal from his pocket. The medal was engraved with a dragon roaring through the heavens.

He said, "This Heavenly Dragon Medal is for you. With this medal, you can mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dragon Palace."

"I hope that you can give me a satisfactory answer by then."

Upon receiving the jade medal, Du Haijun's entire body trembled slightly with excitement.
