Located on Pedestrian Street, Yongxing Entertainment City is the largest, most luxurious, and most famous entertainment venue in Z City. Since its establishment, there has never been a disturbance inside, nor has the police ever come to investigate.
From these signs, one can fully ascertain the caliber and status of this entertainment city. Even during relatively quiet operating hours, the number of guests inside exceeds that of ordinary entertainment venues during peak hours.
At this moment, several casually dressed men entered through the back door, escorting a student in a school uniform.
"Brother Fei, we’ve brought him. I can confirm that he’s the one from this morning," one of the men said with a hint of flattery to the man in a suit who appeared to be in his thirties at the foot of the stairs leading to the fourth floor.
Although the man was dressed formally, his suit could not conceal the thuggish aura he exuded.
"Very good. Go to the front desk and collect your reward," said the suited man, revealing a slightly sinister smile as he looked at Yang Xiaoyou, who seemed somewhat restrained and nervous. He then dismissed his subordinates.
"You should know what kind of place this is," Brother Fei said with a mocking expression as he regarded Yang Xiaoyou.
Hearing this, Yang Xiaoyou shook his head in confusion. His reaction made Brother Fei feel somewhat awkward.
"Tch, just a book-smart kid. Hmph, come with me. Just be honest about everything later. We have no interest in making things difficult for you. Hey, if it weren't for Boss wanting to ask you personally, you might experience things today that you'd never want to go through in your life," Brother Fei said with a hint of sarcasm, patting Yang Xiaoyou's shoulder heavily.
The force of his hand surprised Yang Xiaoyou. Faced with such an unexpected situation, he felt a bit of a headache. As they were about to take him away, he quickly sent a text message for help to Liu Lianyue.
After all, she had told him to reach out whenever he was in trouble, so Yang Xiaoyou naturally wouldn’t hold back; he considered it compensation for being pressured into joining the Common Unity Party.
However, after hearing Brother Fei's words, Yang Xiaoyou felt about seventy percent sure that for now, they likely wouldn’t resort to violence against him. Given their pace, Liu Lianyue's response wouldn’t be immediate; there must be other reasons at play.
Arriving at the door of a conference room with Brother Fei, he exchanged a few words with two guards who appeared to be of higher status before allowing them entry.
Inside the conference room were many people; some had an aura similar to Brother Fei’s, but most looked like refined white-collar workers.
As the two entered, they seemed to be discussing something when they were suddenly interrupted by a couple of others, some of whom clearly showed their displeasure.
"Fei Zi, what are you doing? Don't embarrass me," one of them slammed his hand on the table and scolded the man who had brought Yang Xiaoyou in.
"Alright, alright, it was my idea to have him bring people directly to me. Hey, I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly. Not bad, he must be the one," a middle-aged man at the head of the conference table lightly tapped on the table and smiled as he interrupted.
As soon as he spoke, the man who had started scolding immediately stopped, and the chaotic noise in the conference room fell silent, indicating his high authority.
After delivering Yang Xiaoyou, Fei Ge retreated with a respectful expression, distinctly different from the fierce demeanor he had shown towards Yang Xiaoyou earlier.
"Don't be too constrained, classmate. We're just doing legitimate business here; it's just that some of us look a bit intimidating. We only asked you to come over to ask a few questions," the clean-looking middle-aged man said with a warm smile and a tone that sounded quite sincere.
However, seeing his smile made many others in the conference room feel uneasy, as if they were somewhat fearful.
Yang Xiaoyou seemed to have been completely affected by the man's attitude and relaxed significantly.
After calming Yang Xiaoyou down, the leading man addressed everyone around him. "The key factor we were just discussing is this classmate here. What do you all think?"
"Brother Zi, you met this middle-aged man at People's Park this morning, right?" The burly man who had initially scolded now pointed to a photo of Mo Wenfu projected on the screen and asked Yang Xiaoyou.
Faced with this question, a hint of hesitation appeared on Yang Xiaoyou's face before he nodded. He already knew that since the other party recognized him, there was no point in hiding his encounter with Mo Wenfu; otherwise, it would only provoke them into violence against him.
Given his current abilities, escaping unscathed wasn't particularly difficult. However, he had to consider future implications. If they truly resorted to torture, he would have to find an opportunity to slip away or wait for Liu Lianyue's rescue. Some physical suffering would have to be endured passively.
Nevertheless, since Yang Xiaoyou chose to save Mo Wenfu back then, he was confident that he could keep things under control. After all, they were looking for Mo Wenfu, not him. He was merely passing by without any background or pressure; it could be somewhat dangerous.
However, with Liu Lianyue's support as a backing, that danger could almost be eliminated. Now that he had joined the Common Unity Party, it was only natural to make full use of it.
"Then what about him? What do you think his feelings for you are, honestly?"
"Right now, at my place? I don't know, he seems a bit uneasy." After hearing the question, Yang Xiaoyou understood the other person's intentions.
It seemed they wanted to approach Mo Wenfu without alarming him. The forces behind the request to Yongxing likely believed that Mo Wenfu still held some value for them. If that were the case, it didn't matter if his location was exposed; they wouldn't act in the near future anyway.
As for whether it was the Common Unity Party secretly pulling strings or traps set by the Minister of National Defense and State Affairs, it was irrelevant. As long as it didn't involve him directly, he was unconcerned. If it was the Common Unity Party, they would probably be pleased to know he was one of their own. As for the Minister of National Defense and State Affairs, with the Common Unity Party's constraints, he felt even less worried.
Since they wouldn't act soon, no matter what they planned for Mo Wenfu, once Nobunaga Hideyoshi's arrangements were in place and the snakehead arrived, Yang Xiaoyou would ensure that person was sent away.
By concealing his identity and facilitating the other's departure, it would only lead to mutual suspicion between the two other groups.
It was fine if they came looking for him; when the time came to confront Mo Wenfu, he could present a scenario where if Mo didn't leave the country, it would implicate him as well. The likelihood of yielding to their demands would undoubtedly increase.
What does a Tactic analyst appreciate? Yang Xiaoyou was confident that with Mo Wenfu's insight, he could recognize the potential of Hive Security's future elites and his somewhat avant-garde training methods. Once individual capabilities improved, all that would be lacking was tactical ability.
In such a fitting position, Yang Xiaoyou couldn't believe Mo wouldn't be tempted.
Moreover, it seemed Mo Wenfu's wife was accompanying their daughter studying abroad, significantly reducing any concerns.
Given Mo Wenfu's character, he certainly wouldn't take an official position in another country. Thus, Hive Security, which was rapidly growing, would be his ideal destination.
Of course, this hinged on successfully escorting him out first.
After various agreements and approvals, the other party satisfactorily released Yang Xiaoyou. Stepping out of Yongxing Entertainment City, he rebooted his phone and dialed a number. To his surprise, someone actually recognized him; this unexpected turn could serve as an opportunity thanks to several protective umbrellas he had in place.
"Hello? Hello? Why did you send a strange text and then turn off your phone? What’s going on? I had to send people looking for you!" As soon as the call connected, Liu Lianyue bombarded him with questions.
"Ah, my dear sister, I was just reporting on the mission you assigned me. I saw someone who looked very much like the person in the photo, but it turns out there were others looking for him too, and I got caught up in it and had to go have tea," Yang Xiaoyou lamented.
The Common Unity Party was the scapegoat he had chosen for this situation, and he needed to provoke them into action. Even if it was another faction within the Common Unity Party that was responsible, he still had to take a stand.
In any case, he wanted to create a tense atmosphere between the Common Unity Party and that individual from the Ministry of National Defense. When conflicts arose, no matter which side he was on, they would naturally be seen as opponents.
With a bit of protection like this, he felt absolutely safe. No one would be foolish enough to target a student who knew little and was somewhat troublesome; it simply didn't align with their interests.
The Common Unity Party relied on its reputation to survive, and with that passionate sister leading the charge, it perfectly suited the current situation. From Liu Lianyue's expression, even if the person commissioned by Yongxing was from the Common Unity Party, she seemed completely unaware and could easily stir up internal conflicts.
"What? You saw Mr. Mo? Where is he?" Liu Lianyue asked excitedly.
"At my place, but don't come over just yet. Another group has set their sights on him. When they caught me earlier, I already sold out his location. If you come now, it will escalate things and that gentleman will definitely be in danger," Yang Xiaoyou replied regretfully over the phone.
"You! You spineless fellow, you're driving me crazy!" Liu Lianyue's tone shifted from excitement to frustration.
"I know I can't handle the pressure. I'm just asking for trouble by sticking my nose in this. Who exactly is this fellow? Why are so many people watching him besides us from the Common Unity Party?" Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but let a strange smile slip as he mentioned the Common Unity Party.
Meanwhile, in the basement of Yongxing Entertainment City, several individuals monitoring electronic surveillance frowned at each other.
