Ji Yang was no longer under any pressure dealing with those who were tailing him. Once he knew there were people following him, he even managed to leave the house without alerting anyone; and when he went out and returned home, those tailing him still believed that he had never left.
After messing around with Cao Li and the other girls for a while, Cao Li looked at Ji Yang and said, "Our people found out something. The day before yesterday, Huang Yan and Deng Guohai were both in the provincial city, and they both stayed in the same hotel."
"What’s the situation?" Ji Yang was curious about this.
"Our people spotted the Young Master Guan. He probably passed through our province and made a brief stop in the provincial city. Huang Yan went to meet him, and they surely did that kind of thing."
As she spoke, Cao Li’s hand began to playfully squeeze below Ji Yang.
Naturally, Ji Yang knew what she was referring to and slapped her buttocks, saying, "Speak properly."
Cao Li just giggled and continued, "After Huang Yan left the Young Master Guan’s room, she was about to leave the hotel, but then she got a phone call and went back. After that, she went into Deng Guohai’s room, and the two didn’t leave separately until the next day."
Ji Yang’s gaze flickered; he felt that he understood the situation.
"What do you think is going on?" Thɪs chapter is updated by N0veI.Fiɾe.net
Ji Yang was now taking their intelligence gathering seriously, and Cao Li was proving to be a very capable intelligence analyst.
Cao Li said, "It’s quite obvious. Deng Guohai must have some dirt on Huang Yan, and with that, he has been threatening her. Now, Huang Yan doesn’t dare to touch Deng Guohai, so the only thing she can do is to lean on him."
Ji Yang shared the same view and nodded slightly, "It seems that Deng Guohai is becoming more dangerous."
Ji Yang couldn’t afford to underestimate Deng Guohai, as he was someone who worked in the shadows, and whenever he made a move, it was precise, using the leverage he had to bring people under his control.
Ji Yang thought about the cadre members in the city departments. From what he knew, many of them were probably brought under control by Deng Guohai using the same methods.
"Brother, should we do something now?"
Wen Xin asked a question.
Shaking his head, Ji Yang said, "Don’t do anything for now. Deng Guohai is very dangerous; no one knows how many people he has under his control or how much power he wields. If we’re not careful, it could lead to major trouble."
"We’ve also been conducting some secret investigations. During his time working in the provincial city, Deng Guohai has formed quite good connections with some important figures, and seems to possess a significant power base," Su Li also chimed in.
"Now, he’s probably aiming to get each member of the team under his control," Ji Yang said.
"Brother, you won’t be in danger, will you?" Everyone naturally cared about Ji Yang’s safety and didn’t want to see him come to harm.
Ji Yang smiled and said, "Don’t worry about me; he can’t do anything to me."
Cao Li said, "I’m just afraid he might resort to scheming. One careless move and things could go wrong."
Now that they knew what kind of person they were dealing with, Cao Li was naturally worried that Ji Yang might fall for a trap.
Ji Yang said, "That’s not an issue, you just take good care of yourselves. By the way, try to be as discreet as possible. If there’s a problem, it would be very difficult for me to save you."
Ji Yang also pondered over Deng Guohai’s actions. Now that he had Huang Yan under his control, who would he target next?
After carefully analyzing the team members, he still couldn’t figure out who Deng Guohai’s next target might be.
"Have someone keep an eye on Deng Guohai, see who he gets close to."
