Looking at Sun Yue's indifferent attitude, Yang Chen raised an eyebrow and glanced at Sun Yue.

"It seems like you have quite an opinion about me?" Yang Chen looked at Sun Yue and said.

Sun Yue snorted coldly and turned her head away.

Yang Chen couldn't help but lean back in his chair, staring at Sun Yue. "Can I ask why?"

"Why?" Sun Yue sneered, "Isn't it obvious to you? With someone like you wanting both the cake and to eat it too, I feel I have the responsibility and obligation to keep an eye on you on behalf of our boss!"

Yang Chen smiled and stood up, looking at Sun Yue. "I've already said, my feelings are none of your business. Now, I hope you listen clearly to what I'm saying. Since you are Ye Xin's subordinates, during Ye Xin's absence, I'll be taking full control of her team, which means from now on, you will follow my orders!"

"Why should we!" Sun Yue said, glaring.

Yang Chen bent down, picked up the sleeping Yanyan, and said solemnly, "Either you obey orders, or I'll find someone to directly take over your management rights."

"You!" Sun Yue fumed in anger.

But after thinking about it, Sun Yue still felt the need to report to the professor.

Sun Yue left Emperor Garden, sat in the car, and contacted the professor via an encrypted phone call.

"Professor!" Sun Yue said gravely, "I just met with Yang Chen."

"Hmm, any progress on his side?"

"Progress?" Sun Yue snorted coldly, angrily saying, "Forget about progress; I think he's more interested in our boss's best friend now! Wanting both the cake and to eat it too!"

"Hmm? What's going on?" The professor was a bit puzzled.

"Nothing." Sun Yue took a deep breath, decided it wasn't necessary to tell the professor, and figured she could follow up on her own. If Yang Chen dared to act out of line, she wouldn't let him get away with it!

Sun Yue gravely told the professor, "Professor, Yang Chen said he wants to take over Fire Phoenix's authority and manage our team!"

The professor was taken aback, thought for a moment, and asked, "What does he want to do?"

Sun Yue shook her head. "Not sure, so I'm asking for your opinion."

"Hmm..." The professor was silent for a moment.

After a while, the professor slowly said, "I... will send a few people to assist you. Completely taking over Fire Phoenix's authority is impossible, but you can assist Yang Chen in the investigation. I'll fully support your actions."

"Are you sure?" Sun Yue frowned. "Even without him, we can still find Fire Phoenix!"

"Obey orders!" The professor said sternly, leaving no room for refusal.

Sun Yue, although unwilling, knew that now was not the time to be stubborn; everything had to prioritize the mission and was all for rescuing Ye Xin.

"Yes!" Sun Yue said seriously.

Inside the house.

After Yang Chen finished washing up, he sat in front of the computer, sending out the organized plans to several people's inboxes.

The plan... officially launched!

Inside Zhangkou Mansion.

Once these people received the information, they immediately began to discuss it with their teams.

Meanwhile, at the house of those in charge.

A group of people in the living room also discussed the plan late into the night, figuring out how to offer these businesses enough policy incentives to keep them investing, determining how much to invest, what level of policy incentives to offer, and formulating subsequent development strategies based on the plan, as well as figuring out how to align with current city planning.

Perhaps to outsiders, it might seem like these leaders only need to conduct visits and inspections all day, not realizing that they are truly busy people, planning for the entire city...

...

The next day.

Yang Chen got up early and stretched in the courtyard.

Ever since Yang Chen broke through to a new realm, his need for physical training significantly decreased. When he first returned, Yang Chen always felt uncomfortable, not getting enough exercise to satisfy his muscles. But now, even if he sat cross-legged all day, he didn't feel uncomfortable, and he didn't need to maintain intense exercise to keep his muscles strong and his body responsive.

In fact, his reflexes were faster now than they had ever been.

Yang Chen was confident that even if someone stood in front of him and shot, they couldn't hit him!

Perhaps, that's the benefit of breaking through a realm!

After working out for a while, Yang Chen heard Chen Siyan's voice coming from inside the house.

"Brother! Brother!"

Yang Chen shouted from outside, "I'm here!"

Chen Siyan ran over anxiously, holding a phone, "Brother Gao's on the phone!"

Yang Chen reached to take it, "Hello!"

"Brother Chen, can you vouch for me?" Gao Hong's voice sounded quite helpless.

Just then, Yang Chen heard as if someone else took the phone.

"Hello? Are you Yang Chen?" A woman's voice came from the other side, sounding quite familiar.

"Gu Xijun?" Yang Chen frowned.

"It's really you?" Gu Xijun sounded surprised, asking, "How are you involved with this fugitive? What's your relationship?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Chen felt a headache, "How do you know he's a fugitive?"

Back then, Li Muyang had erased the records; Gao Hong's record shouldn't exist in the system!

Gu Xijun snorted coldly, telling Yang Chen, "Beicheng Security Bureau, come here personally! Don't think just because you had someone alter the records, I wouldn't know. Coincidentally, I remember Gao Hong's case, come over immediately!"

With that, Gu Xijun hung up the phone.

Yang Chen, feeling helpless, returned the phone to Chen Siyan, went back inside to shower, and changed his clothes.

As he stepped out, Yang Chen saw Chen Siyan looking at him nervously, her eyes misty, "Where are you going?"

She was afraid that once Yang Chen left, who knew when he'd return again.

Seeing this, Yang Chen quickly said, "What's wrong?"

"Are you leaving again and not coming back?" Chen Siyan said, tears falling as she spoke.

Wei Xueqing quickly ran down from upstairs too, her hair tousled, her makeup from last night unremoved, making her look a bit haggard.

"Where are you going?" Wei Xueqing asked urgently, looking very worried.

Seeing the two looking so anxious, Yang Chen smiled helplessly, "I'm just going to the security bureau, nothing to worry about."

"Really?" Chen Siyan asked with teary eyes.

"Yes!" Yang Chen said, "Gao Hong just called, he's being held at the station, I'm going to check on him."

"Oh!" Chen Siyan finally relaxed.

Yang Chen rubbed Chen Siyan's head, wiped the tears from her face, and said, "Alright, don't worry, I'm going now, you and Sister Xueqing make something to eat."

"Okay!" Chen Siyan nodded obediently.

With that, Yang Chen was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Wei Xueqing shouted, "Wait here for me!"

She quickly ran upstairs, then hurried back down, holding a box, handing it to Yang Chen, "Here! I got you a phone and a SIM card, just insert it and it'll work, it's a rugged phone, should be quite suitable for you, at least you'll have contact, so we can reach you."

Yang Chen took the phone, nodded, and said, "Thanks!"

"You're welcome!" Despite her makeup being a bit smudged, Wei Xueqing still smiled brightly.
