Chapter 25: The pull of a mysterious organization #

When the mysterious organization's emissary stepped into Ye Xingchen's territory, Ye Xingchen was standing on the top floor of his magnificent commercial building, overlooking the entire city. His deep eyes were filled with an innate dominance and disdain, as if everything in the world was under his control. The messenger respectfully presented the invitation letter from the mysterious organization, reciting the benefits of joining: endless wealth, supreme power, and the glory of controlling this city and even the wider world. The corners of Ye Xingchen's mouth rose slightly, revealing a mocking smile, followed by a burst of arrogant laughter, which echoed like thunder in the room, causing the messenger's eardrums to ache.

"Your mysterious organization is also too naive!" Ye Xingchen's eyes were icy cold, as if they were cold stars, "How dare you try to use these illusory things to pull me in? What do you guys think I, Ye Xingchen, am?" His voice was filled with contempt, and every word was like a sharp blade that viciously stabbed at the messenger. After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling his men to expel the messenger from the room like a mole cricket. The emissary was filled with fear and anger, and fled in ashes.

After being humiliated by Ye Xingchen, the messenger returned to the Mysterious Organization in a sorry state and reported the situation to the chief. After the chief heard about it, his face was instantly horribly gloomy, as if the sky was covered with dark clouds before a storm. His eyes flashed with anger and killing intent, and that gaze seemed to be able to penetrate everything, sending shivers down one's spine. "Ye Xingchen, how dare you humiliate us like this!" The chief gritted his teeth, secretly vowing in his heart that he would make Ye Xingchen pay a painful price.

Thus, the mysterious organization began to tightly plan an even bigger and more sinister plot. Knowing Ye Xing Chen's weaknesses, they decided to start with the business empire he cared most about, his status in the jianghu, and the people around him, striking him on all fronts and plunging him into a place of no return.

Although Ye Xing Chen outwardly disdained the threat of the mysterious organization and continued to expand his empire boldly on the commercial battlefield. But deep down, he also understood that this mysterious organization could not be underestimated. Every silent night, when he sat alone in his dark office, looking out the window at the brilliantly lit but crisis-ridden city, a trace of uneasiness would well up in his heart. He strengthened his own defenses, hired more bodyguards, upgraded the company's security measures, and at the same time urged the people around him to be alert and cautious at all times. However, the mysterious organization's methods were extremely hidden and sinister, they were like vipers hidden in the darkness, silently laying out their plans quietly in the shadows, waiting for the best time to give Ye Xing Chen a fatal blow.

In the commercial field, Ye Xing Chen's business empire continued to expand, but also faced many tricky challenges. In addition to the mysterious organization's covert sabotage behind the scenes, other competitors also took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on him. The competition for market share, the grabbing of resources, every battle was exceptionally fierce, Ye Xingchen was on all sides of the business battlefield. However, with his superior wisdom, keen insight and great strength, he skillfully resolved the crisis time and again.

At a high-level meeting of the company, the conference room was filled with a tense atmosphere, as if the air was about to freeze. Ye Xing Chen sat at the head of the conference table, his eyes firm and cold, as if he was an emperor about to go on a campaign. He slowly scanned everyone present and said, "No matter how powerful the enemy is, we cannot retreat. The business empire that I, Ye Xingchen, have created, no one will be able to shake it!" His words were full of dominance and confidence, and that powerful aura made his subordinates feel both in awe and at ease. However, deep inside him, there was a trace of exhaustion and loneliness. He knew that every decision he made concerned the fate of countless people, he could not fail, nor did he dare to fail.

At this time, Ye Xing Chen's relationship with Lin Wan Er was also becoming more and more tense, like a taut string that could break at any time. Lin Wan'er's heart was filled with worry and disappointment as she witnessed Ye Xingchen's unscrupulousness in business and his contempt for the threat of the mysterious organization. She was well aware of Ye Xingchen's abilities and ambitions, but she could not accept him acting so recklessly. Lin Wan'er tried to persuade Ye Xing Chen to return to the right path, and she repeatedly came quietly to Ye Xing Chen's side in between his busy work. She gently took Ye Xing Chen's hand, tears in her eyes, and said with a trembling voice, "Xing Chen, we already have a lot, why can't we operate in a gentler, kinder way? Such a you makes me feel so strange." Ye Xing Chen, however, always shook off her hand impatiently, as if her concern was a burden. He frowned and said, "Wan Er, you don't understand. In this world, only the strong can decide everything. Everything I do is for our future." Lin Wan'er looked at his cold eyes, and the love in her heart was gradually replaced by disappointment and coldness. She silently turned around and left, each step was incredibly heavy, as if there was a huge mountain pressing down in her heart.

Ye Xing Chen was actually not feeling good inside after rejecting Lin Wan Er. He sat alone in his office, looking out the window at the bustling city night scene, but an inexplicable irritation welled up in his heart. He knew that his behavior had hurt Lin Wan Er, but he felt that he had no choice. In his opinion, only by standing at the peak of power and wealth could he truly protect himself and those around him. However, whenever it was late at night, Lin Wan'er's sad face would always involuntarily surface in his mind, causing a trace of guilt to flood his heart. But this guilt was soon drowned out by his desire for success, and he struggled painfully between ambition and love, but was never able to find a balance.

As for Ye Xing Chen, although he superficially disdained Lin Wan Er's persuasion, deep down there was actually a hint of faltering. Whenever he sat alone in his office in the dead of night, looking at the city lights, Lin Wan'er's sad face would come to mind. He knew that his behavior had hurt Lin Wan'er, but he couldn't give up his business ambitions. This ambivalence made him even more irritable, and he became more and more authoritarian in the company, and his subordinates would be severely reprimanded by him for the slightest misstep. He often asked himself, "Am I really doing the right thing? Do I have to lose Wan Er in order to realize my goal?" However, whenever he was faced with business competition and disputes in the jianghu, his competitive nature prevailed again, allowing him to continue along this thorny path.
