Beautiful CEO's Super Expert

Upon hearing the mention of the Phillip Family, a brief expression of astonishment appeared on Su Chen's face, but it returned to normal in the blink of an eye.

"You know about this family?" Ye Mei asked oddly upon hearing Su Chen's murmur.

"I don't know them, I've just heard of them,"

he replied casually.

In fact, Su Chen was very familiar with this ancient and mysterious European family, and they even had some connections.

The Phillip Family not only had deep relationships with many royal families but also held tremendous influence in many sectors such as energy, medicine, and finance.

Now, hearing that Ye Mei was going to do business with the Phillip Family, he immediately worried for her.

He knew that the Phillip Family was completely ruthless; Ye Mei's cooperation with them was essentially dancing with wolves.

Well, let Ye Mei handle it herself for now; if it really came to difficulties, he could simply make a phone call.

Ye Mei had urgent matters to handle and left first, as cooperating with a transnational company like Almei required ample preparation, and time was tight.

After Ye Mei left, only Xiao Yaning and Su Chen remained in the private room, making Xiao Yaning even more nervous, especially after what had just happened.

However, Su Chen didn't have the same psychological burden; he looked at Xiao Yaning and asked,

"Have you really let go of that matter?"

"Yes, I've thought it through. At worst, we will just be strangers from now on. It's nothing serious."

Xiao Yaning said casually, trying to seem at ease, but Su Chen still saw a hint of sadness in her eyes.

He understood, after all; how could someone sever ties just like that with a man she had called dad all her life?

"It's getting late; I should take you home," Su Chen said softly.

"Okay," Xiao Yaning nodded.

......

Meanwhile, in a brightly lit building in Yandu,

if you paid attention regularly, you would know that this building is always like this every night, never turning off the lights because people are working here all the time.

This is because it houses the Special Security Bureau of Huaxia Country. Although it's just one bureau, it's an institution even more formidable than the National Security Department!

Past ten at night, on the ground floor of the building, a man anxiously stood by the elevator waiting for it. As soon as the elevator opened, he hurried in, not noticing a girl running out.

"Ouch."

A soft groan echoed. The girl looked up and glanced sidelong at the man:

"Uncle Liu, are you trying to kill me?"

The girl, sporting a ponytail that swayed endearingly, had a cute and lovely face, resembling a doll. Continue reading at empire

Her proportions were also excellent, and while her important features had not yet fully matured, one could already tell that she would grow up to be a beauty.

"I'm sorry, Hanshuang. I have urgent matters to report to the director!"

Uncle Liu, standing in the elevator, apologized before preparing to close the door.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, a petite figure leapt in.

"Uncle Liu, what's the emergency?"

Du Hanshuang asked curiously, eyes twinkling brightly.

By then, the elevator doors had shut, and the lift began to rise slowly.

"Hanshuang, you know the rules; I really can't say anything."

It was clear that Uncle Liu was very indulgent towards her, but despite his fondness, he dared not break the rules.

"Just tell me a little,"

Hanshuang immediately started to act like a little brat, grabbing Liu Jie's arm and shaking it vigorously.

"Even if you break your Uncle Liu's arm, I still can't tell you!"

Liu Jie gave a bitter smile and said that in their line of work, discipline was always the top priority.

"If you won't tell, fine, hmph!"

At that moment, the elevator arrived, and as soon as the door opened, Hanshuang ran off, showing her petulance.

Liu Jie helplessly shook his head and walked to an office door and knocked.

"Come in."

A deep voice followed from inside, and upon hearing it, Liu Jie pushed the door and entered.

"Old Liu, what brings you here?"

Inside was a man, the director of the Special Security Bureau, Qin Ming, a man in his fifties with somewhat graying hair.

Seeing that it was Liu Jie, Qin Ming casually asked and continued to focus on his work.

"Director Qin, I have just received intelligence that someone from the Nether Temple has entered Huaxia Country,"

Liu Jie reported, standing straight.

"Who is it?"

Qin Ming asked indifferently.

"The Joker!"

"Who?"

Qin Ming immediately stopped his pen and stood up abruptly, his face serious!

"Nether Temple, the Joker!"

Liu Jie repeated.

"Have you figured out what he's here for?"

"Not yet, I came right over as soon as I received the intel about his arrival in Huaxia. All I know is that he is on a flight arriving in Jianghai."

"We must handle this carefully, let me think it over."

Qin Ming sat down again, frowning, he had thought it was just a small fry from the Nether Temple, but it turned out to be the notoriously infamous Joker.

Intelligence showed that the Joker was one of the top three individuals in the Nether Temple, apart from the mysterious Hall Master—a core among cores!

Then, Qin Ming remembered a piece of intelligence he had seen the previous day, mentioning that Princess Eniel from Stlore was due to visit Huaxia next month.

Even though she was coming in her capacity as the head of Slore, Qin Ming, as the director of the Special Security Bureau, was well aware of her other identity—one of the three giants of the Nether Temple, just like the Joker. And her first stop appeared to be Jianghai too!

Why were these top figures from the Nether Temple coming to Huaxia one after another in such a short span of time, and all to the same place—Jianghai?

What deep-seated reason lay behind this? Or was something significant about to happen in Jianghai? Qin Ming was utterly baffled.

If Qin Ming had known that Su Chen was the Hall Master of the Nether Temple, he might not have been so troubled, but he didn't know.

He indeed knew Su Chen, but the identity he knew was another aspect of Su Chen; he had never imagined that the mysterious King of Netherworld was Su Chen.

Moreover, he had not received any information about Su Chen for over a year. He had even heard that Su Chen had met with an accident—the details of whether he was dead or alive were still unknown, and it had saddened him for quite some time.

"Alright then, Old Liu, take a team over, and be ready to make any necessary decisions on the spot."

Qin Ming thought for a while and finally made a decision:

"But if the opponent does not take any actions harming our national interest, you don't need to intervene, just keep track and report back."

The reason Qin Ming made such a decision was because, in the past, the Nether Temple had never targeted Huaxia Country, and on several occasions, it had even subtly aided them.

Although this was the case, with a character like the Joker entering the country, Qin Ming could not just do nothing.
