"Which Ye family?"
Du Hengyan's gaze flickered with a hint of confusion. It was familiar, yet he couldn't quite recall.
Ye Qi paused for a moment. "Boss, how many Ye families could there be with such power in the country?"
"Ah, I remember now. Keep an eye on them; we'll deal with that woman once we catch her."
If Ye Qi hadn't mentioned the Ye family, Du Hengyan would have forgotten that his long-deceased brother also shared the surname Ye.
With this thought, Du Hengyan's expression softened slightly, though his anger towards the fleeing woman remained undiminished.
In just ten minutes—no, five imposing off-road vehicles roared to a stop at the hotel entrance, each occupant wearing a serious expression.
The bustling crowd in the hotel lobby fell silent in an instant, their gazes drawn to these unexpected guests. Fearful, they dared not utter a sound or even breathe too loudly.
"Boss, everyone is here; please give your orders."
Ye Qi stood respectfully beside Du Hengyan.
Du Hengyan narrowed his eyes slightly; Ye Qi understood him well.
When handling personal matters, one should always bring along the most trusted people to ensure everything is executed cleanly and without error.
Du Hengyan nodded slightly, and Ye Qi immediately grasped his meaning, issuing a command: "Brothers, let’s get to work."
As soon as Ye Qi's words fell, the engines of the vehicles roared to life with a deafening sound before speeding away like arrows released from bows, leaving behind clouds of dust.
"Hey? Brothers, did you hear? Yesterday during the capture, the boss was personally on site."
One of the henchmen in an off-road vehicle opened the conversation.
"I heard from a brother that there was a bit of trouble during the mission; our boss was mistaken for a male model by a female client in the audience."
Another chimed in.
"Is that so? What happened next?"
"The female client offered three thousand dollars for our boss for a day. I was there at the time; we all thought that woman was done for! Who would have guessed our boss actually agreed!"
The speaker's face was filled with disbelief.
"Wait?! The boss agreed? What’s going on?!"
Everyone exclaimed in shock.
Is our boss really going to be a male model?
Someone asked incredulously.
Look at that! The boss didn’t come home last night!
We've been with the boss for so long, and this is the first time we’ve seen him indulge like this!
This is it! It means our boss has finally woken up!
"Keep it down. From now on, don’t say anything. We all know how the boss is," one of the more composed members warned.
"Let’s not even mention it. If Seventh Master hears about this, we’ll be in serious trouble."
The speaker’s expression turned tense as he lowered his voice, trying to stop his companions from continuing.
The gossiping trio finally fell silent.
However, everyone overlooked an important detail: the car had been modified with a wireless communication device that was fully operational.
Their conversation was transmitted without any omissions to the ears of those in other vehicles, every word crystal clear.
Just as a few of them began to realize the severity of the situation, Ye Qi's furious voice thundered through the communication device like a clap of thunder:
"I see you’ve all been too idle lately, even daring to gossip about the boss. After finishing your work, consider yourselves punished. Additionally, half a month’s salary will be deducted."
His voice was filled with authority and rage, as if it could burn through the device and scorch them.
"Yes, Seventh Master!"
"You should be grateful the boss isn’t in this vehicle. Otherwise, losing some salary would be the least of your worries!"
Ye Qi’s words struck like a heavy hammer, instilling fear in everyone present.
"We will heed your teachings, Seventh Master!"
They nodded submissively, their heads bowed even lower.
