"Wow, I can't believe it has come to this." Wen Xia felt as if she were on a roller coaster, observing the ever-changing situation before her. She had some understanding of Fan Ye, who had risen after the collapse of Yongxing.
According to her father's words, he was a cautious yet ruthless and decisive character. He would never show mercy when it came to taking advantage of others, but he also knew how to gauge the situation.
It was clear that the pressure from Qi Menglu's friend had forced him to comply with their wishes without regard for appearances.
This fellow, who managed to thrive after Yongxing's downfall, was not as approachable as he seemed now.
Thinking about this made her feel a twinge of jealousy. Why was it that she could only get close to the leader and help out a little, only to find herself overwhelmed? Meanwhile, this seemingly frail fellow had casually stabilized an out-of-control situation with just a few words. The gap between them felt insurmountable.
Yet, despite her jealousy, this self-controlled fellow knew he had to side with Menglu now.
At first, if he had taken the warning lightly, it was now imperative to take it seriously. If Barbara KV's behind-the-scenes boss had to put on a smiling face, then truly, making things difficult for oneself was far too easy.
Just a slight misstep now could lead to unimaginable consequences. The thought of what the fat man being dragged away would face made her previously gleeful mood sink. She glanced at the handsome young man who shot her a knowing look, and a flicker of fear crossed her eyes.
"Heh heh, this time my people messed up. If you friends from Hive Security Company don’t mind, please allow me..." At that moment, Fan Ye showcased his influence. After whispering to a newly arrived man for a while, he managed to identify several individuals.
After all, something like a Gun Permit was definitely registered; if one had connections with the police, it could be resolved with some time.
However, he subtly displayed his capabilities here. While trying to save face discreetly, Yang Xiaoyou interrupted him without hesitation and said, "I do mind, so let's leave it at that. If you handle this well, I won't cause you any trouble."
Her words "I do mind" felt like a slap across Fan Ye's face, causing him pain and stirring anger within him. He believed he had given enough respect to Aspects, yet still received such a response. The implication that if things were handled poorly there would be problems was clear.
But considering her identity, he forced himself to endure it. Truthfully speaking, companies like Hive Security were his enemies in this line of work; they kept him in check completely!
In the past, his greatest concern had undoubtedly been the Red Dragon. However, recent changes and inexplicable events had allowed Hive Security Company to rise significantly as well. He couldn't understand why those in power would grant such convenience to an externally funded company like Hive Security.
There was likely a significant conflict of interest at play here, one he couldn't afford to get mixed up in.
The disadvantage of being the first to act made him sigh. If it were someone else, even a billionaire, he wouldn't feel intimidated at all; wealthy people tend to be protective of their reputation and wouldn't dare offend him. But facing a company like Hive Security, he felt dwarfed.
Those who played dirty were even more ruthless. His subordinates were thugs, but the other side had mercenaries! Damn it, this was outright bullying.
Perhaps he had an advantage in terms of information and could assist with some shady dealings, but that was not enough to hold the other party back.
When slapped in the face in front of others, he could only force a smile and approach them.
"Of course, of course. However, this lady seems unwell. Would you like a quieter room to rest? Also, do you need some chilled drinks or water?"
Seeing the other party's reaction, even Yang Xiaoyou, who had intended to make things difficult, found himself at a loss for words. This fellow truly knew how to hit the nail on the head.
Since it concerned the girl's health, Yang Xiaoyou couldn't keep a stern face any longer and nodded in agreement.
Well then, since he was so accommodating, Yang Xiaoyou decided to let this fellow off the hook for now.
What? Was there resentment? Of course there was; every human harbored some resentment. But what did that matter? As long as he maintained an overwhelming advantage in strength, no matter how great the resentment, he would have to turn it into a smile and even accept some demands without refusal!
In the Chinese Empire, it was indeed necessary to keep a distance from the underworld, yet interactions were unavoidable in daily life.
This kind of purely threatening relationship was practical and beneficial. It was like with that person from Sh City; if you help me out, I won't give you any benefits, but if you refuse to help, I can bring you significant trouble. There was no benefit chain for both sides; if things didn't go smoothly, they could simply replace each other.
After a few exchanges, the successor would surely understand how to navigate this situation.
As for suppressing the underworld, officials would certainly have no objections and might even welcome it.
"Damn it, disturbances and gunfire? This Hive Security Company has been quite active lately. Why are you granting them such permissions? Their authority seems to be increasing lately; this isn't typical of upper management," Zhao Liang remarked incredulously while chatting with former subordinates and colleagues when he suddenly heard reports coming from below.
Upon hearing this news, he couldn't help but let out a strange cry.
Just when he had recently retired due to injury, the Hive Security Company had just entered the domestic market, yet now it seemed to be thriving. To be honest, he suspected it might be some kind of illusion created by those above.
A foreign-funded company obtaining such privileges in the country was truly unprecedented.
The organization he had previously investigated was so powerful that it struggled to enter the Chinese Empire market, yet the Hive Security Company had managed to do so.
"Ha ha, their decision-makers must be extraordinary. They clearly understand our hard demands and always manage to hit our sweet spot. Each time they slightly increase their privileges, it leads to this situation. Moreover, due to their reputation from representing our weapons and their special channels, it's impossible to push them out.
Recently, they even introduced something new for us. You know about that P system, right? They helped enhance our training system significantly! I mean, we didn't even know they would have a say in P. Anyway, this is a rising force that is highly regarded by those above, unlike other forces that reject us due to pressure from Western countries.
As long as we can provide benefits, they can deliver what we want. This kind of mutually beneficial relationship is the most effective. Some privileges are just given; after all, can they really use **** to rebel? The entire Hive Security Company has only this many people." Originally, this information was considered internal and confidential, but Zhao Liang was his former leader and someone from the same circle, so he felt no hesitation in sharing it with him.
Zhao Liang was taken aback upon hearing this. The difference in influence between the Hive Security Company then and now was simply too vast. He remembered that interesting student who used to work part-time at the Hive Security Company. Just as he thought of Yang Xiaoyou and glanced at the report with the photo on top, he couldn't help but rub his forehead—this troublesome person.
He needed to be on duty and could only update as much as possible after ten o'clock. He wondered if he could secretly bring his computer over for a search; that would make updating faster!
