Chapter 3: Stocking Up on Supplies and Recruiting Female Team Members

Ye Zi'an spoke into the phone, "Uncle, I have a body here that needs to be handled, make it look like an accident."

Liu Sisi had been killed by him, and now Ye Zi'an needed to consider how to deal with the aftermath.

While the system's space could make the body disappear, Liu Sisi had come to him to discuss their marriage, so even if the body vanished, Ye Zi'an would still be the prime suspect.

On the other end, the person hesitated, clearly taken aback by Ye Zi'an's request, but his tone held no hesitation as he quickly replied, "Okay."

Before long, the villa's front door was pushed open again.

A sturdy middle-aged man in his forties entered, accompanied by a young woman dressed in black combat gear.

Ye Zi'an stole a glance at the girl, who was about 1.7 meters tall, with a delicate face. Despite being clad in black, her fair skin and tall figure were still evident.

The two were Ye Er, the family's butler, and his daughter Ye Yu.

"Young Master, we came through the secret passage to the Ye family, and the outside surveillance didn't capture us," Ye Er said.

After speaking, they quickly donned gloves and shoe covers, starting to clean up the scene.

For some reason, both felt that Ye Zi'an seemed like a different person. While he hadn't changed much in appearance, he now exuded a sharp demeanor, and there was no trace of the previous playboy attitude.

When they saw the body on the ground was Liu Sisi, they were taken aback.

Wasn't this Ye Zi'an's fiancée, Liu Sisi? The young master had always been incredibly compliant with her.

However, they didn't question it further and quickly got to work.

Ye Zi'an watched his loyal subordinates with satisfaction.

The original Ye Zi'an had been unaware of his uncle's true identity, but Ye Zi'an had learned this secret from the subsequent content of the original text.

"Uncle" was merely a term of endearment for Ye Zi'an; he wasn't actually his uncle. This so-called uncle had been a mercenary saved by Ye Zi'an's father while doing business abroad.

Afterward, he brought his infant daughter to the Ye family, serving as the butler while secretly handling some of the less savory tasks for Ye Zi'an's father.

This was also why, despite being a playboy, the Ye Corporation had operated steadily.

Over the years, Uncle had discreetly dealt with many of the company's competitors.

Uncle quickly cleaned up the blood on the floor, while his daughter Ye Yu arranged Liu Sisi's makeup to make her appear as if she had never been harmed.

Then, they sprayed some liquid on the floor, which Ye Zi'an recognized as a reagent for destroying blood components.

While it was unlikely that the police would investigate the Ye family, it was better to be safe than sorry.

After completing this, Uncle carried Liu Sisi's body through the secret passage and placed it in a sports car parked in the garage.

Meanwhile, Ye Yu, dressed in Liu Sisi's clothing, walked through the front door into the garage, taking a seat in the driver's seat of the sports car.

The car left the mountaintop villa and drove along the mountain road, with surveillance cameras capturing "Liu Sisi" leaving alive.

Moments later, the car crashed on the mountain road, "accidentally falling off a cliff" and exploding violently.

Of course, Ye Yu had already exited the vehicle in an area not covered by the cameras.

"Young Master, it's all taken care of," Ye Er reported.

Hearing everything through his phone, Ye Zi'an felt no surprise; he trusted Uncle's abilities.

As thoughts of killing Su Chen flashed through his mind, Ye Zi'an spoke up, "Uncle, find a few more assassins on the dark web. Money is no issue; in a few days, eliminate a college student named Su Chen."

In Da Xia, a forbidden ground for mercenaries, no one would come for little money.

"Also, contact some top-tier mercenaries to see if they can work for me long-term, prioritizing female fighters skilled in close combat. Even if it's short-term, I can lure them in for now."

Once he activated the first layer of the Tower of Babel, he would have four control slots; having female mercenaries would allow him to manipulate them as he pleased.

After saying this, Ye Zi'an hung up the phone.

He leisurely picked up a glass of red wine and drank it in one go.

If everything went smoothly, in a few days, Su Chen would be a corpse.

"Su Chen won't be easily killed; after all, he's the son of fortune in this world, the only seedling of the heavenly path."

The system kindly reminded him, "Isn't the son of fortune also someone who has returned from rebirth? If others can kill him, why can't I?"

"Besides, this time I won't appear personally; I just want to see how far the will of this world will go to protect him. Even if I fail, it won't matter."

Of course, Ye Zi'an wouldn't act himself; he would have Uncle hire a few killers to do the job.

Additionally, Ye Zi'an thought it prudent to call a contact named Li Wei from his address book.

"Young Master Ye, what can I do for you?" a sycophantic voice came from the other end, sounding somewhat surprised.

Ye Zi'an had only met Li Wei a few times, so they weren't familiar.

However, Li Wei's family relied heavily on Ye family's support for their various businesses.

"There's a young man named Su Chen living at Century Community, Building A, Room 501. Tomorrow, please teach him a lesson privately. Don't expose my identity, and disrupt any of his plans. Use whatever means you see fit; there will be benefits for you once this is done."

After finishing, Ye Zi'an hung up the phone.

Li Wei, receiving the order, promptly instructed his subordinates to act.

But Ye Zi'an's arrangements didn't end there.

To be even safer, he made another call, this time to the vice director of the municipal police.

The call connected quickly, and on the other end, the sounds of a bustling nightlife filled the air.

Upon realizing it was Ye Zi'an calling, Vice Director Wang seemed surprised and asked, "What can I do for you, Young Master Ye?"

Ye Zi'an wasted no time and got straight to the point. "Uncle Wang, there's a first-year student at Xia City University named Su Chen who has some grievances with me. Could you please send someone to keep an eye on him? If he engages in any illegal activities, arrest him immediately."

Vice Director Wang pondered for a moment at the name Su Chen, not recalling it and concluding it must be an ordinary person.

He replied vaguely, "It's not a big deal, but I've been worried about my son's job lately."

Ye Zi'an couldn't help but sneer internally; it seemed everywhere was the same, but he still maintained a polite demeanor. "I'm also worried; the purchasing department at Ye Corporation is short a business manager. How about letting your son come in for an interview next week?"

Next week was the apocalypse, and who couldn't write a blank check?

Upon hearing that it was for the purchasing manager position at Ye Corporation, Vice Director Wang immediately felt grateful for Ye Zi'an's thoughtfulness.

He responded, "Thank you, Young Master Ye. I have some important matters to attend to, but I will have someone keep an eye on that Su Chen for you."

"Then Uncle Wang, I'm counting on you for this matter."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Zi'an began contemplating the upcoming plot.

Tomorrow was the day Su Chen would return from rebirth; he would immediately take his property certificate to mortgage the property, exchanging it for a large sum of money to stockpile supplies for the coming apocalypse.

But with Li Wei's interference, things wouldn't go as smoothly.

After all, the current Su Chen was just an ordinary person, albeit with a slightly stronger physique.

Ye Zi'an also felt that stocking up on supplies was necessary. Following the tropes he had seen in novels from his previous life, he immediately issued orders.

Several department managers at Ye Corporation received Ye Zi'an's calls and began executing their tasks without delay.

Ye Zi'an estimated the family's assets; he had about 2 billion in cash, 5 billion in Ye Corporation stock, and around 1 billion in real estate, luxury cars, and other assets that were harder to liquidate.

However, stocking up on supplies was a minor issue; the main concern was talent. He had transmigrated with a system and was now in the identity of a local young master; he should enjoy himself.

"Manager Liu, immediately post recruitment information online, saying that Ye Corporation is seeking high-end female talent aged 18-28. Current university students can also apply for interviews.

We need people skilled in enterprise management, those adept at coordinating various departmental actions, as well as top talents from all industries.

Additionally, we need female veterans skilled in close combat.

There's no limit on the number of applicants, no educational requirements, with a monthly salary of over 30,000 yuan. Other benefits can be negotiated. Those who come for the second interview will be provided with accommodation and receive a 10,000 yuan compensation for their time."

Manager Liu, taken aback by the generous offer, paused for a moment and asked, "Should I consult Director Zhao about this?"

Although Ye Zi'an was the chairman, he usually delegated all matters to the vice chair, Zhao Wanrong.

"This money will come from me personally; just carry on with it. I want women who are both competent and capable."
