Chapter 1523: Chapter 1513: Trust

"Just something on hand, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now." Jiang Zai said coldly.

"Hahaha, Jiang Cheng, you’re truly a genius. You managed to get such confidential files from the West District’s intelligence team in such a short time. I really don’t know how you did it. This is impressive!" The boss praised Jiang Cheng, giving him a thumbs-up.

Jiang Cheng looked at the boss with disdain. "Boss, aren’t these confidential files what you wanted the most? Are you happy now?" After asking, Jiang Cheng turned his back.

"I wonder if I can go and check my company now?" Jiang Cheng deliberately raised his voice and asked.

"Of course you can. I’ll immediately call the relevant department to lift the lockdown on your company." The boss replied slowly to Jiang Cheng’s words. With such a significant contribution from Jiang Cheng, he should indeed be rewarded more.

Jiang Cheng ignored the boss and walked straight outside the bureau. He just wanted to hurry back and see the company that he founded with his own hands and how it looked now.

Seeing Jiang Cheng quickly walking out the door, the boss glanced back at Mu Yu and gave a signal. Mu Yu understood and, along with two team members, followed Jiang Cheng out the door.

Of course, the Mole was also closely following behind Jiang Cheng. When Jiang Cheng arrived downstairs at his company, as expected, with the boss’s order, the efficiency of these people increased. By the time they went from the bureau to the company, the seals on the company’s door had already been removed.

Jiang Cheng walked into the company, looking at the empty office, and couldn’t help but feel helpless. "Sigh, it’s only been a few days I wasn’t here, and it turned into this. I’m such an incompetent boss." Jiang Cheng sighed helplessly.

At this time, LNDA walked up to Jiang Cheng and said, "President Jiang, you’re finally back. While you were gone, the team stormed our company and directly sealed it.

Hearing LINDA’s words, Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty. Such a big company, and he just suddenly left it unattended, it must have been tough on these hands.

"I’m sorry, it was due to some issues before. Now that it’s resolved, we’ll start normal operations from tomorrow!" With that, Jiang Cheng looked at LINDA.

LINDA was very pleased to hear Jiang Cheng’s words. Jiang Cheng started walking inside the company, looking at every corner. After about an hour, Jiang Cheng walked to the company’s gate, giving some instructions to LINDA. After entrusting LINDA to handle the company’s affairs, he prepared to return to the hotel to rest.

Seeing this, Mu Yu quickly followed up. "You just returned, the team is unstable, maybe West District’s mansion has already arranged an assassin to kill you. This is our new team member Wang Hua, he’s very skilled. We’ll protect you back to the hotel." Mu Yu said seriously.

Jiang Cheng did not decline, letting Mu Yu and Wang Hua follow behind him. At this moment, Wang Hua looked at Jiang Cheng with a cold gaze, quickly shifting it when it almost met Jiang Cheng’s. On his left hand, a chilling tattoo could be vaguely seen.

Thus, accompanied by the Mole, Wang Hua, and Mu Yu, Jiang Cheng returned to the hotel. The Mole and Mu Yu, seeing familiar faces here, no longer remained silent.

"Jiang Cheng, this counter-espionage trick of yours was masterful, you fooled us all!" Mu Yu jokingly said to Jiang Cheng.

Hearing Mu Yu praise Jiang Cheng, the Mole also chimed in. "Not just you, even I, being with him all the time, couldn’t guess his plan. I was just as confused at first. Jiang, amazing!" The Mole followed up with compliments to Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng saw these two playing off each other, knowing well they were saying these things for the boss’s sake due to his previous displeasure.

"Alright, alright, you’re flattering me so much, it’s enough!" Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but smile, jokingly saying to the two.

The three of them glanced at each other and couldn’t help but laugh out loud together.

At the hotel, after chatting and catching up, it was already the middle of the night.

"Alright, I’ve safely returned to the hotel. You two should go rest, you had a rough time at the airport today, you must be tired, go rest!" Jiang Cheng said to the two.

If they continued to flatter him, they wouldn’t let him rest.

The Mole and Mu Yu, seeing how late it was, agreed that it was time to rest. After bidding farewell to Jiang Cheng, they prepared to leave and rest.

Outside the door, Wang Hua said to Mu Yu, "Mr. Jiang just returned, the team isn’t stable. For his safety, why don’t I stay here temporarily to protect him."

Mu Yu thought about Wang Hua’s words and agreed. "Alright, Wang Hua, I’ll leave it to you!" Mu Yu said.

Jiang Cheng lay on the bed, the soft bed instantly making his body relax a lot, his mood calming, and his breathing steady.

After lying for ten minutes, Jiang Cheng got up from the bed and went to the bathroom, intending to bathe. Meanwhile, somewhere else, Wang Hua was plotting something.

K took a tight suit from the wardrobe, which was for special tasks when Wang Hua—oh no!

It should be K wearing this kind of tight clothing for special missions.

It makes things more convenient and leaves less trace.

K then put on gloves and approached the nightstand, where there was a small protrusion. Placing his hand lightly on it, he heard a click, revealing a hidden compartment.

The compartment wasn’t large but held a gun, a small pistol. K took it out and checked, finding the magazine full, smoothly loading and unloading.

K tucked the gun into his waist and restored the nightstand to its original state. Once everything was settled, K went to the mirror, carefully examining himself. Seeing no flaws, he went to the window, turning on all the lights, then drawing the curtains.

K intended to create a fa?ade that he was in his room, that anything happening tonight had nothing to do with him, and he quietly stayed in his room.

Then K opened the window and quietly slipped out, after a few leaps arriving at a different window. Lightly pushing, the window opened.

K safely landed in the bathroom, which was the shared bathroom of this floor, with the window left half-open earlier, when he was using it during the day, as an exit.

K was a professional assassin, an infiltrator among the team as an enemy spy. For years, he silently worked and performed dutifully, aiming to be accepted and trusted by the group. Though he was excellent, gaining a team’s trust was as hard as climbing a mountain.

K remained silent, unnoticed by the enemy, but today he had to assassinate Jiang Cheng, no room for failure. It was his best opportunity.
