Guangzhou-Shenzhen, Baili Group main building, chairman's office.

Baili Jing straightened his clothes, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and gently knocked on the door twice.

"Enter."

A dignified yet indifferent voice rang out.

Baili Jing approached with a smile and stood in front of the middle-aged man with slightly graying hair.

Baili Xin's eyes were cold, and he asked in a flat tone, "How did things go?"

“Father, although there was a slight accident this time, with Jiang Ye and Baili Tuming returning to Guangzhou and Shenzhen together, everything is under my control.”

"As my father wished, I sent [Qi Yuan] and [Zhan Bai] as a gift to Baili Group."

“I’ve investigated Jiang Ye’s background. He’s a smart man. He knows how to make choices. I guess Baili Tuming is probably already dead on the way.”

Upon hearing this, Baili Xin nodded slightly.

Giving Jiang Ye two of her own precious collections was enough to give him face; to do so would be incredibly foolish.

Compared to the Great Xia Forbidden Artifacts Museum and the wealthiest conglomerate, it's obvious to anyone which is more important: an adopted son who serves as a shield.

"Yes, tomorrow is your birthday banquet, and it will also be the time to announce your identity. Prepare well."

Baili Jing nodded emphatically, "Don't worry, Father, all the arrangements for the birthday banquet have been made."

"Fine, go out." Baili Xin's tone remained indifferent.

Baili Jing didn't dare to linger, but just as he got up, the phone in his pocket rang.

He slowly took it out, glanced at Baili Xin, and the latter gave a soft "hmm".

Baili Jingcai answered the phone, "What's wrong? Is it resolved?"

"It's terrible, Young Master Jing! The men we sent to hunt down the young master last night are all dead!"

"what!"

Upon hearing this, Baili Jing's mind went completely blank, as if struck by lightning.

Bai Lixin, sitting on the leather sofa, also frowned slightly.

"Jiang Ye dares to kill people, isn't he afraid of going to a fasting camp?"

Baili Jing asked in a solemn tone.

Baili Tuming had no ability to kill them, so Jiang Ye was the only one left.

Jiang Ye shouldn't have refused the gift he prepared, nor should he have killed him outright.

Even if his own people tried to kill Baili Tuming by force, Jiang Ye could simply intervene.

Now that they've gone so far as to kill everyone, even if it goes to the Night's Watch court, Jiang Ye will definitely be locked up in the fasting quarters.

"No, Young Master Jing, it wasn't Jiang Ye who killed them, but the Ancient God Church."

However, a negative voice came from the other end of the phone.

The Church of the Ancient Gods?!

Baili Jing was a little confused. How could the Ancient God Church be involved?

He glanced at Baili Xin, his emotions gradually calming down. "I understand. Where is Baili Tuming now?"

"He has already entered Guangzhou and Shenzhen to join the Night Watch squad."

Bai Lijing's eyes were gloomy. He gave a soft "hmm" and hung up the phone.

"What happened?" Baili Xin asked, frowning at his son's expression.

Baili Jing lowered his head and said, "The people sent to hunt down Baili Tuming encountered the [believers] of the Ancient God Church."

"Then, they were all killed, and [Qi Yuan] and [Zhan Bai] were also taken away."

boom!

Bai Lixin placed the coffee in his hand on the table, making a loud, crisp sound.

As a businessman, how could he not be angry about losing both his wife and his money?

For businessmen, pursuing profit is their primary duty.

Now, things have gotten even worse. Not only did they fail to give the favor, but they also lost two extremely valuable and highly dangerous collectibles.

They're totally being ripped off.

"Father...Father, I...I..."

"No need to say anything more. Since things have come to this, you should go back and prepare for tomorrow's birthday banquet."

Baili Xin frowned, his expression full of displeasure.

Baili Jing's face looked like he'd eaten shit. He was about to inherit the Baili Group, and this was the last thing he could do.

My image in my father's eyes will definitely be affected.

Damn it, Baili Tuming! Don't think that just because you're back, I can't deal with you.

A sinister look appeared on his face as he walked out of the chairman's office.

Baili Xin stood up and dialed a number.

"Check carefully and see if it's the Church of the Ancient Gods?"

The wielder of the [Qiyuan] forbidden artifact is at the Boundless Realm, possessing two extremely dangerous forbidden artifacts.

Unless the Church of the Ancient Gods uses believers of Klein's caliber, it is impossible to kill them.

There must be something hidden here.

……

In a detached luxury villa in Guangzhou or Shenzhen.

Ding Dong!

The crisp doorbell rang.

A moment later, the door slowly opened, revealing a woman in her early twenties with a simple and unassuming appearance.

The woman's eyes lit up when she saw the two people outside the door. "Little Tu Ming, you're back. And who is this?"

Miao Su pointed at Jiang Ye and asked.

Baili Pangpang smiled and said, "Sister Miao Su, his name is Jiang Ye. He's the awesome guy who fused with the essence of the Grim Reaper."

Hearing Baili Pangpang's smug introduction, Miao Su's face showed surprise.

"I heard you mention him before, I didn't expect someone so amazing to be so handsome too."

"Hello, I am Miao Su from the 010 Night Watch Team in Guangzhou and Shenzhen."

Jiang Ye nodded slightly and gently shook Miao Su's outstretched hand.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Miao Su led the two into the villa.

Inside, on the sofa, sat a middle-aged man, swirling a wine glass and drinking.

When the man saw Baili Pangpang, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Ye naturally knew what he was surprised about: that Baili Pangpang had actually returned to Guangzhou and Shenzhen alive.

In the original story, the captain and members of the 010 Night Watch team, lured by the money offered by the Baili Group, became their lackeys, willing to risk their lives for them.

Furthermore, at Bailixin's birthday banquet, they blocked the fifth reserve team.

The only one who was not corrupted by money was the gentle and simple Miao Su.

Jiang Ye slowly looked at Miao Su, who was speaking caring words to Baili Pangpang, and smiled slightly.

But then I thought of a good idea to get modification points.

The birthday banquet storyline hasn't started yet, but if we can get Squad 010 to turn back from their wrong path, we can also gain some points.

If they don't listen to advice, then I won't hold back.

Baili Pangpang followed Miao Su to change into a suit, while Jiang Ye did not follow and instead sat on the sofa.

Sitting opposite Jiang Ye, Wei Xiuming, the captain of Squad 010, squinted at him and then poured himself a glass of red wine.

He handed it to Jiang Ye, saying, "I've heard Xiao Tu Ming mention you before. You seem to be quite young and promising."

Jiang Ye smiled slightly, but did not drink the red wine. Instead, he said calmly, "This wine has a story. I guess it's a story of someone risking their life for another."

Upon hearing this, Wei Xiuming's smile froze, and his brows furrowed slightly. "Why would you think that?"

Jiang Ye smiled and shook his head, "Is it worth risking your life for a dying corporation and breaking the oath you swore under the Great Xia flag?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Xiuming's face darkened, and he slowly put down the wine glass in his hand.

"Since you know about this, you should also know about Baili Tuming, right?"

"The Baili Group is one of the top companies in the Great Xia Dynasty. Are you sure you're not just spouting nonsense by saying it's going to disappear?"

"I believe the Baili Group has already contacted you and agreed, right?"

Wei Xiuming squinted, watching every change in Jiang Ye's expression.

Jiang Ye remained calm and said, "I'm not here to advise you, but to warn you."

"It's not too late for you to turn back now. If you draw your swords at that time, you will have no chance at all."

Wei Xiuming's expression turned somewhat solemn. Jiang Ye's aura was so imposing that even he had to give way.

This shouldn't be something a teenager should have.

He stared into Jiang Ye's eyes, his pupils suddenly contracting.

Those eyes held an unassailable, supreme majesty, and he even felt a strange pain in his eyes.

Wei Xiuming quickly withdrew the light, panting heavily.

Just how terrifying is Jiang Ye? He was so powerful from just one glance.

Could it be that Baili Tuming was able to return alive because of him?

"Alright, that's all I have to say. The decision is entirely up to you."

Jiang Ye stood up and calmly walked up to the second floor of the villa.
