Chapter 1498 - 1496: Threat

Chapter 1498: Chapter 1496: Threat

"Boss, this First-Grade Tang Scenery is a top-tier villa. The people living here are either wealthy or powerful, they’re not ordinary folks!" Wang Ming said.

Yang Chen nodded slightly.

"Brother, do you think it’s necessary for them to live in such a place while doing these things?" Chen Siyan also found it unbelievable.

After all, they’re just a bunch of sea guards. Even though they’re formidable, there’s no reason to provide them with mansions costing tens of millions each.

Yang Chen smiled and explained, "You’re thinking too simply. The most dangerous place is the safest place, haven’t you heard of it before?"

Both nodded.

"Actually, it’s the same logic. The places you find impossible are the ones less likely to be searched, hence where they’ll hide! You need to think in reverse. If you were them, knowing someone’s searching for you, where would you choose to stay? Only here would be the safest place! Besides, a giant enterprise like the Yuan Group having its subordinates living in such villas is perfectly normal." Yang Chen said flatly.

Both seemed thoughtful.

Yang Chen stopped the car.

"Is this the place?" Wang Ming glanced at the house number, it was Building 06.

"No!" Yang Chen replied, "It’s the one behind it."

"Then you..." Wang Ming wanted to ask more.

Yang Chen glared at him and said coldly, "If you dare to ask another dumb question like this, I’ll rip your tongue out!"

Wang Ming shrunk his neck in fear, not daring to speak again.

Chen Siyan sighed helplessly, "Can’t you think ahead! If we drove the car directly to the entrance, wouldn’t that alarm them! If they delete the data straight away, what would we be here for!"

"Oh, oh!" Wang Ming clearly couldn’t keep up with his brain.

The group of four got out of the car.

Yang Chen and Ye Xin exchanged a glance, immediately understanding each other’s thoughts.

Such is the magic of rapport; no words needed, just a look or a movement, and they understand each other.

Despite rarely performing missions together, they felt like comrades who had fought and bled together for a long time, fully understanding each other’s intentions.

Yang Chen headed left, while Ye Xin went right. Yang Chen planned to enter through the front door, while Ye Xin would infiltrate from the back.

This was their plan.

Yang Chen’s goal was to draw their attention, while Ye Xin swiftly acquired the relevant information.

Their teamwork was flawless.

Meanwhile, Chen Siyan and Wang Ming followed behind Yang Chen, completely clueless about what Yang Chen intended to do.

As they reached Building 15, Yang Chen was about to knock on the door.

Chen Siyan quickly pulled Yang Chen back, whispering, "Brother! What are you doing! Just like that knocking on the door directly? Shouldn’t we sneak in quietly?"

Yang Chen shook his head with a smile, reached out and pressed the doorbell.

Ding dong!

"Who’s there?" A voice quickly responded.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Property management!"

"Hold on!"

Chen Siyan and Wang Ming exchanged glances, clueless about Yang Chen’s tactics.

Creaaak!

The door opened automatically.

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Has technology advanced this much now?"

Chen Siyan replied softly, "The place I live in now is designed like this too..."

"Alright then!" Yang Chen was a bit resigned.

Upon entering, the place was luxuriously decorated, clearly owned by someone rich and with taste.

Wooden floors, wooden stairs, and stairs covered with wool carpets, extremely luxurious.

Many oil paintings adorned the walls, seemingly appealing to someone who liked foreign styles, unlike Flame Country’s traditional scholars who preferred calligraphy or landscape paintings; the style was distinctive.

"Hello? We’re from the property management company!" Yang Chen called out.

Despite being there for a while, not a single person was seen.

"Where is everyone?" Chen Siyan was very curious.

Wang Ming looked around but found no one.

All their gazes turned to the second floor.

"Stop looking, come up!" Ye Xin’s voice came from upstairs.

Instantly, Yang Chen quickly headed upstairs.

On the stairs, Yang Chen noticed many cameras hidden in concealed corners.

He ruthlessly destroyed these cameras.

On the second floor.

In the study.

Yang Chen saw Ye Xin looking at the computer desktop.

Upon getting closer, Yang Chen saw what was displayed on the screen.

"I knew you’d find this place, so I prepared a gift for you!"

"It’s over there!" Ye Xin pointed to a small boxed gift beside the computer, looking like a Holy Light Festival present.

Yang Chen carefully picked it up.

Chen Siyan and Wang Ming came over, surprised, "Where is everyone?"

Ye Xin explained, "They knew we were coming and left long ago. This is just an empty shell to deliberately lure us here!"

The two found it unbelievable.

"Huh? Brother, what are you holding? A gift?" Chen Siyan realized after she spoke, noticing the writing on the screen.

Instantly, Chen Siyan’s face tensed, hurriedly saying, "Brother! Be careful!"

Yang Chen smiled slightly, "It’s alright."

He said it was fine but remained vigilant inside, being very cautious when handling it.

He tore off the outer colored paper, revealing a box inside.

Opening the box, there was a red button inside.

"Damn it!" Yang Chen’s expression immediately changed.

With a glance, he recognized it as a remote control!

Immediately, Yang Chen picked up the mouse and clicked on the screen.

The second message appeared.

"How about it? Surprised?"

He continued clicking.

"Perhaps you could try pressing it, to see what surprise it holds."

"What? Are you scared?"

"Guess you didn’t press it, so boring!"

"Since you don’t like this gift, you might choose another way."

"Damn it!" Wang Ming was nervous, "This feels like a scene from a Hong Kong movie, what on earth are they planning!"

Yang Chen said sternly, "Don’t talk!"

He continued clicking.

"I have my eyes on the Ancheng market and Ningchuan market. Open the window for us, and we all make money together, everyone’s happy."

Yang Chen’s face turned somber.

They still have their sights set on Ningchuan and Ancheng’s two major markets.

"If you disagree, we all go our separate ways. But there are some consequences you can’t bear."

He clicked again.

This time it wasn’t words but a video screen.

The date and time were displayed on it.

It’s a live stream!

The footage showed a building.

Chen Siyan saw the building and immediately panicked.

"Brother! That’s the orphanage school building! It’s a building our company constructed! The principal is still inside! Along with many children!" Chen Siyan hurriedly said.

Yang Chen naturally recognized it too, his expression turned icy, eyes glinting coldly and murderously.

"Whoever you are! I will kill you!" Yang Chen detested being threatened.

Especially, using his family to threaten him! It’s absolutely intolerable!
