Ji Liancheng's face was clouded with gloom as he shook the various data reports in his hand in front of Ye Tianfan: "Our inland sales channels have also encountered problems. This month's performance has plummeted. Several department managers have reported that orders, which had already been signed, were abruptly canceled by customers without any reason."

"Got it."

Ye Tianfan appeared calm and composed. From the urgency in Ji Liancheng's voice over the phone, Ye Tianfan thought something had happened to him personally. Only upon arriving did he realize it was another company issue, which surprisingly put him at ease.

In today's business realm, the thing Ye Tianfan cares about most is people!

As long as the company's key personnel remain unharmed, everything will be fine.

If something happens to the people, then there's trouble.

Ye Tianfan patted Ji Liancheng on the shoulder and said, "Remember, for the time being, just go home and accompany your old father. Don't worry about the company's affairs."

"But the current situation of the company is already..." Ji Liancheng was full of anxiety. As a commercial genius, even when facing a powerful rising company like Tianyu Group, he found himself at a loss, just like Long Yuqing. It was his first encounter with competition of this caliber.

Ye Tianfan's expression slightly adjusted as he sternly said, "Remember, people are always the most important, and safety always comes first. As long as no harm comes to our people, we will overcome this hurdle sooner or later."

Hearing Ye Tianfan's words, Ji Liancheng nodded silently, "Understood."

"As for this Tianyu Group, leave it to me." Although Ye Tianfan said this, he actually had no solution. However, as the temporary leader of the Qin Group, he understood the principle that people's morale must not waver!

At this time, it was crucial to boost the morale of the employees, and salaries must not be reduced. In fact, bonuses should be given at this critical moment to stabilize morale.

Otherwise, the Huang Group is an example!

When people leave, the company naturally comes to an end.

People's morale is always more important than making money.

Of course, the task of distributing extra bonuses and benefits naturally fell to Ji Liancheng.

"Knock knock knock..."

Just after Ji Liancheng left, there was suddenly a knock on the door. Ye Tianfan, sitting idly watching TV, reluctantly stood up to open the door.

"Young Master Ye, you seem very leisurely." Standing outside the door was a woman with a graceful figure, none other than Xue Qianxun, the personal bodyguard of the Leng Family's old master.

"What? Miss Xue, you have the leisure to come to Jiangzhou for some relaxation?" Ye Tianfan opened the door without a polite word, directly sitting back on the sofa, nonchalantly picking up the remote control to switch TV channels.

Seeing Ye Tianfan's demeanor, Xue Qianxun couldn't help frowning slightly and said, "As far as I know, the current business realm in Jiangzhou is not very promising, is it?"

Ye Tianfan glanced at Xue Qianxun and said, "Since you already know, let's cut to the chase. Don't beat around the bush and waste everyone's time."

Xue Qianxun glanced at Ye Tianfan, who was now lounging on the sofa in a comfortable pose, leisurely watching TV, as if time was abundant and wasting a bit was fine. Yet, his tone suggested he was very busy, which made Xue Qianxun slightly angry inside, clearly feeling unwelcome.

"I'm here for no big reason, just our family's old master instructed me to bring someone to you, saying it's a person behind Tianyu Group, not sure if it's of any use to you."

With that, Xue Qianxun snapped her fingers, and soon three or four strong men carried a sack inside.

"Boom..."

The sack was dropped heavily on the ground, and a muffled groan came from within.

Ye Tianfan's eyes narrowed slightly. When the sack was brought in, he smelled a strong scent of blood, indicating the person inside the sack was severely injured.

"How badly is he hurt? Can he still speak?" Ye Tianfan asked, looking at the sack writhing on the floor.

Xue Qianxun glanced at Ye Tianfan and calmly replied, "He can speak, but his time is likely short. If you want to ask anything, you better hurry up."

After speaking, Xue Qianxun turned and walked out of the office, not forgetting to close the door behind her with a force that almost seemed to break it, apparently upset by Ye Tianfan's attitude.

After Xue Qianxun left, Ye Tianfan squatted on the ground, untied the rope at the top of the sack, and dumped out the person inside. He saw a muscular man covered in wounds, gasping for breath. The dense knife wounds on his body instantly reminded Ye Tianfan of the term: Lingchi punishment.

Also known as: death by a thousand cuts.

The man's skin had hardly any intact spots, with dense knife wounds appearing every few millimeters. This once fine man, completely bare, had skin that looked like fish scales due to the slicing, clearly subjected to severe torture.

Moreover, the most critical thing is the man had tape over his mouth, which made Ye Tianfan's heart sink instantly.

This woman, Xue Qianxun, was too ruthless!

She used extreme torture on this man but sealed his mouth with tape, only torturing without asking questions, which could torment someone's inner self the most. If Ye Tianfan was correct, this man's spirit had long collapsed and now only craved for a quick death.

"Screech..."

Ye Tianfan ripped off the tape from the man's mouth.

"Please, ask something. I'll say everything, tell you everything. What do you want to know? Ask, just ask!"

The man apparently hadn't understood the situation, struggling to kneel before Ye Tianfan. Due to his body's trembling, the fine knife wounds burst open instantly. In a matter of moments, he looked like a blood-soaked man.

No wonder Xue Qianxun said his time was limited; at this rate of bleeding, he indeed couldn't hold on for long.

"Where is Tianyu Group's headquarters?" Ye Tianfan asked directly.

The man shook his head violently, "I don't know. I'm just responsible for the external arrangements; I've never been to the headquarters."

Ye Tianfan furrowed his brow and continued asking, "Who is supporting Tianyu Group from behind?"

"Old K, it's Old K."

"What's the real name?"

"I don't know, I don't know!" The man screamed frantically, but his voice grew weaker.

"Who is your contact? How do you connect with them?" Ye Tianfan continued to probe.

"It's... it's Pang... Pang... Rui..." The man didn't finish his sentence before he breathed his last.

Ye Tianfan sighed, sat back on the sofa, and took out his phone to call Yan Feishuang, asking her to come and handle the body.

At the same time, Ye Tianfan also frowned, continuously pondering a name in his mind: Old K.

To dig out this Old K, it's likely necessary to find that so-called... Pang Rui? Unfortunately, the man didn't finish the name, and Ye Tianfan didn't know what that last character was.
