“Chang Ling, what’s wrong? Is there anything else?” Shan Yue asked.

Chang Ling stammered, “There’s indeed something else. It’s actually not a big deal, but 1 still want to ask you.”

“It’s not the first time you’ve been by my side. You should know my personality very well. If you have anything to ask, just ask.”

Shan Yue crossed her arms and placed them under her chin. “You don’t dare to ask a question?”

“Don’t misunderstand. 1 didn’t mean that, President Shan.”

Chang Ling didn’t waste any more time. “It’s just that 1 don’t know if Boss Ye has contacted you. Ever since the virus outbreak in the Federation’s central city, we’ve been busy with these things recently and completely ignored Boss Ye’s news. He’s been gone for so long, but we haven’t heard a word.”

After hearing Chang Ling’s words, the expression on Shan Yue’s face changed slightly. However, in order not to make Chang Ling suspicious, she quickly retracted her expression.

Before Chang Ling spoke, she had already guessed that this would be the problem.

She and Ye Ying were probably the only ones who could make Chang Ling so worried.

“Don’t worry about Ye Ying. He has to go back and deal with the mercenary group and also deal with the hostile forces formed outside. These can’t be resolved in two to three days.”

Shan Yue’s tone softened slightly, and she was also comforting Chang Ling. “I’ve known him for so many years. Based on my understanding of him, he’s always been a person who only reports good news and not bad news. But when it’s really critical, he’ll definitely send me a message.”

“I understand what you’re saying, but I still can’t help but worry. I’m afraid that something will happen to Boss Ye or even the regiment. However, when they’re in danger, 1 didn’t suffer by their side.”

Chang Ling’s tone was filled with self-reproach. Even his eyes began to turn red. “So if you have any news, you have to tell me immediately so that I can feel more at ease.”

“No problem, but you don’t have to worry too much. You know Ye Ying’s brain and skills. Since he can build a mercenary group single-handedly, he definitely won’t lose to the forces outside.”

Shan Yue smiled knowingly, like an elder comforting a junior. “Whether it’s us or Ye Ying, we’re facing a challenge. What we have to do now is resolve the matter at hand. We can’t let him come back and laugh at us.”

These words were very useful to Chang Ling. He stopped for a moment to convince himself, then quickly returned to his normal state.

“I understand, President Shan. I definitely won’t disappoint you.”

With that, Chang Ling adjusted his emotions and left the office to go straight to the underground warehouse.

After Chang Ling left, Shan Yue was the only one left in the office. She turned on the secret network that connected her to Ye Ying on her cell phone. Looking at the empty message on it, she couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

In front of Chang Ling just now, Shan Yue could not appear too flustered. That would only increase the psychological pressure on them.

As the leader of the Shan Corporation, Shan Yue had to be concerned about everyone’s condition while dealing with all matters.

Shan Yue, who was in a daze for a while, still clicked on the chat keyboard.

“Ye Ying, there’s nothing wrong with your side, right?”

As Shan Yue waited for the news, Lang Nan began the next step of his plan. He pushed aside all matters of society and dealt with Ah Yong’s funeral. He returned to the office alone. The door was tightly locked, and the curtains were completely closed, preventing the entire office from seeing a trace of light.

Lang Nan turned on the computer and relied only on the weak light on the computer screen to provide light for himself.

He entered a number on his phone, but he refused to press the dial button for a long time. His struggling thoughts kept fighting in his heart, and whether to call or not became the most complicated thing in Lang Nan’s heart.

The reason why he wouldn’t tell his trump card was firstly because he wouldn’t let others know his plan clearly to prevent it from being leaked. Secondly, it was because the person he was looking for was indeed unspeakable.

If Shan Yue was here, she would definitely be able to recognize it because the phone number Lang Nan had entered was the exclusive number of the members of their organization, and Lang Nan’s trump card was to find the dark forces to destroy Shan Yue..
