"Young Master Ye, Ye Corporation has received an email concerning Dong Yunjiang from Guangcheng, and it has been sent to you!"


    In Guangcheng, Ye Fan, who was just leaving the gymnasium, received Xia Hao''s call. He opened the email and quickly scanned through it, his brows uncontrollably furrowed.


    Was it from Dong Yunjiang''s chief assistant Wu Zhaoyun?


    The contents of the email were chaotic, yet the meaning was crystal clear.


    It spelled out that Dong Yunjiang was an undercover agent placed in Guangcheng by Prince Jin, and there was also a big fish in the Vermilion Bird Domain, who was in contact with Dong Yunjiang independently. This big shot''s ambitions were immense, attempting to control the entire Vermilion Bird Domain.


    However, Wu Zhaoyun had never had direct contact with this big fish, speculating that "Mr. Wei" might be just a code name or might actually be the Vermilion Bird Domain''s Vice Commander Wei Zhuang... Wu Zhaoyun also described several possible candidates!


    The suspicions around Vice Commander Wei Zhuang of the Vermilion Bird Domain were the biggest because Wu Zhaoyun had dealt with Wei Zhuang''s secretary on numerous occasions. Next was Xu Wandao, one of the Four Great War Kings, who also had close interactions with Dong Yunjiang. Another suspect was the Vermilion Bird Domain''s Elder Ge Li, who had been reclusive for many years, and whose composure also seemed a bit unnatural... The last one was the Vermilion Bird Domain''s Military Advisor Wei Hang!


    Wu Zhaoyun particularly explained that suspecting Wei Hang was solely because his surname was Wei, without any substantial evidence or clues.


    After all, Wei Hang had been involved in the establishment of the entire Vermilion Bird Domain and was the second-in-command in name and reality, holding a status commensurate with Tian Ji''s and enjoying immense prestige within the Vermilion Bird Domain. He had no reason to defect to Prince Jin.


    Ye Fan was investigating the big fish within the Vermilion Bird Domain when Wu Zhaoyun''s email conveniently landed in Ye Corporation''s mailbox?


    Was it just a coincidence?


    A few muscles on Ye Fan''s face twitched, unsure about the authenticity of this email!


    Was someone deliberately muddying the waters, using an email with a mix of truth and falsehood to skew his thinking and investigative direction while the real big fish remained hidden in the shadows, not listed among these names?


    Ye Fan was just about to call Guo Li when Guo Li''s call came first.


    "Perfect timing, I have a question for you! Is there someone named Wu Zhaoyun among Dong Yunjiang''s entourage?"


    "Indeed, there is. According to information provided by the Patriarch Song and Han Youyue, this Wu Zhaoyun is Dong Yunjiang''s top aide! Wu Zhaoyun was among those who went to the ruins of Zhongmin Bank today to look for the key... However, only Dong Yunjiang left the place. Afterwards, Dong Yunjiang ordered a fire raid on the site, so it''s likely that Wu Zhaoyun has been silenced..."


    Hmm?


    Listening to Guo Li''s report, a shiver ran through Ye Fan''s heart.


    Wu Zhaoyun silenced?


    If that was the case, then Wu Zhaoyun''s email could indeed be somewhat credible.


    Phew!


    After entering the basement, Dong Yunjiang finally took a breath of relief, took out the tiger-tooth-shaped key from his bosom, and examined it in front of his eyes.


    He hadn''t noticed anything unusual at the ruins just a moment ago, but now, under the light of the chamber, Dong Yunjiang noticed something was off... Normally, these keys should be made with great precision and have a sense of quality, but the key in Dong Yunjiang''s hand had burrs all over it. Moreover... it was as light as a feather in his hand, with no sense of quality at all, more like a plastic key?


    This...


    A bad feeling emerged in Dong Yunjiang''s heart as he took the key and bent it slightly with a bit of force!


    Crack!


    The next moment, to Dong Yunjiang''s shock, the mysterious key to the chest he held snapped into two pieces... The material inside was indeed plastic...


    "Ah? This..." Dong Yunjiang was completely dumbfounded, "How could this be?"


    He had killed hundreds of people to keep a secret, recklessly used the camouflaged Military Martial members given by Vice Commander Wei Zhuang, and this was all he brought back in the end?


    Damn!


    He had been played!


    At that moment, Dong Yunjiang finally realized that from the moment Ye Fan and Li Mo entered the ruins, they had been laying out their plans, waiting to see which family would take the bait and try to snatch the key?


    Then, all his actions must have been under Ye Fan''s surveillance, right?


    Sigh!


    He should have listened to his deputy, Wu Zhaoyun!


    In an instant, Dong Yunjiang was drenched in cold sweat, and at the same time, he felt as if a chilling gaze was fixedly staring at him!


    "Dammit, Ye Fan couldn''t have found this place so quickly, could he?" Dong Yunjiang was terrified and rapidly scanned the secret chamber with his eyes.


    But when Dong Yunjiang''s gaze landed on a table and chair to his left, his pupils contracted as if he had seen the most horrifying thing, his lips trembling, his fingers shaking, unable to voice a complete sentence, "You... you... you..."


    "Head of the Dong family doesn''t seem satisfied with the material of this key? Had I known earlier, I should have had them made out of steel!"


    A young man slowly turned around, and it was none other than the wickedly smiling Ye Fan!
