Jun Wuchen had to admit that this incident was quite earth-shattering in his life.
He had almost forgotten about managing his expressions. When Duan Chen barged in carrying these two people, Jun Wuchen was as petrified as if struck by a petrifying gaze, turning to stone on the spot. When Chen Ao followed, he seemed to faintly hear the sound of cracking stone.
His mouth twitched, and he sheepishly explained, "Brother Chen, I tried to stop them, but I couldn't."
Jun Wuchen had to kill countless brain cells to connect the scene before him with his memories.
He had sent Yan Yan and Yan Qiu Ren to track and monitor Bai Se and the others. But these two fools were discovered. Bai Se mistook them for some kind of eerie beings and brought them directly to him.
This should be how it happened.
But why the hell did you say "bad guys"? Are you a child?
Jun Wuchen thought for a moment. The children in his own family seemed to have outgrown the age of saying "bad guys."
How old was Duan Chen?
Seeing his composed expression, Jun Wuchen's heart sank.
He braced himself, pretending ignorance, "These are..."
"Reporting, I..."
Duan Chen explained the whole story. The more he explained, the darker Jun Wuchen's expression became. Jun Ci secretly rejoiced, having never seen this guy's face like this before. He thought Duan Chen had really done a good job.
Make him so angry!
Du Qingyi walked out from behind Duan Chen at a leisurely pace.
As soon as she appeared, Jun Wuchen's gaze fixed on her.
Logically, it was normal for Bai Se and the others not to have seen Yan Qiu Ren and Yan Yan. But Jun Wuchen clearly remembered introducing Yan Qiu Ren to Du Qingyi before. If others didn't know, she certainly should.
And based on Bai Se's description just now, it was Du Qingyi who discovered Yan Qiu Ren and Yan Yan's tracking, which made sense. How could two elite agents be discovered by these people from a small place like Bai Se?
Was Du Qingyi warning him not to do this again?
He didn't need her reminder; Jun Wuchen had no intention of doing so again.
He was basically certain that Du Qingyi, Hill, Bai Se, and his sisters posed no threat at all!
He had naively believed the words of the man in black, causing Du Qingyi to doubt him, and also causing Yan Qiu Ren and Yan Yan to lose face. Perhaps, from now on, both of them would doubt him.
It didn't matter if Yan Yan doubted him; if things got really bad, he could just eliminate him. But for Yan Qiu Ren to doubt him was something Jun Wuchen absolutely could not accept.
He began to resent the unreliable man in black.
There was no choice. Things had already happened. He couldn't make another mistake and cause Yan Qiu Ren and Yan Yan to lose trust in him.
Jun Wuchen took a deep breath, calming his furious emotions, and put on a warm smile again.
"I'm truly sorry, I don't think they were tracking you."
"Oh?"
Duan Chen showed a hint of doubt at the opportune moment.
Jun Wuchen's teeth were about to bleed from gritting them.
"It's like this... Yan Qiu Ren is indeed my assistant, and Yan Yan is also a senior agent of our guild. I sent these two on a mission to track a heretic who might be a sea monster. They had no intention of tracking you. This is a misunderstanding..."
"I told you so, Brother Bai. Look at you, you still didn't believe me," Chen Ao nodded righteously.
Jun Wuchen clenched his fists secretly.
Damn it, can you just shut up?
Chen Ao didn't have mind-reading abilities and didn't know what Jun Wuchen was thinking. He chuckled, thinking the problem was solved.
"Is that so?"
Duan Chen pondered for a moment, and then what he said next almost made Jun Wuchen spit blood.
"President, aren't you being fooled by them?"
"I'm not!"
"Cough cough..."
Jun Wuchen lowered his voice. Duan Chen heard it sharply, his tone seeming to tremble.
"I really am not."
Jun Ci and Qin Nanyuan were almost dying of laughter through their mental connection. They had never imagined that such an extremely angry expression would ever appear on Jun Wuchen's face.
After all, he was usually pretentious and deeply scheming.
[As expected of the captain!]
[Awesome!]
Duan Chen's face twitched. He actually felt a bit embarrassed when he walked over just now, but being able to anger Jun Wuchen like this made him feel a little pleased.
"Can you let us go now?"
Yan Qiu Ren sobbed, shedding tears like Yan Yan had earlier.
"I apologize profusely, Assistant Yan, Mr. Yan."
Duan Chen said this indifferently, without any hint of apology in his tone.
"Hmph..."
"Alright, alright, Brother Bai. Don't you have things to do? Hurry back to the hotel."
Seeing Yan Qiu Ren in tears, Chen Ao also felt something was wrong. He quickly ushered Duan Chen and his group out and closed the office door.
"Alright, stop crying."
Jun Wuchen was also extremely annoyed now.
He had sent them out, and he had given the orders. He was responsible for Yan Qiu Ren and Yan Yan losing face, but he just couldn't swallow this indignity!
This was too humiliating!
Utterly humiliating!
If this continued, Jun Wuchen feared he would suffer internal injuries from suppressed rage.
"Yan Yan, you can go back. I will compensate you for this. I hope you... forget it, never mind."
There was no point in silencing them. They had probably been seen by many agents on the way here. This matter would spread quickly.
"Yes."
After he left, Jun Wuchen sighed.
"Tell me the whole process from your perspective. When exactly were you discovered?"
Yan Qiu Ren held back her tears and recounted the entire incident.
Even Jun Wuchen's expression faltered a bit when he heard the part about Yan Yan being severely beaten.
"Who hit the hardest?"
"Bai Xiaobai, Bai Xiaohei."
"That woman who's tangled up with Chen Ao, she can also fight?"
Jun Wuchen's mouth twitched.
Yan Qiu Ren nodded.
"Hmph, that idiot is probably being used. According to you, the leader of this group isn't Du Qingyi, but that Bai Se?"
Yan Qiu Ren thought for a moment.
"Highly likely."
"That's a bit strange. However, that girl Du Qingyi inherited her president's eccentric temper. Perhaps she's just using Bai Se as a shield. In any case, my actions this time were too reckless and have offended the Ice City Spirit Hunting Guild. End the tracking and surveillance of them. Hurry up and have these people exchange knowledge and then get out."
Jun Wuchen ran his fingers through his hair irritably.
Yan Qiu Ren hesitated to speak.
"What is it?"
Jun Wuchen looked at his beautiful secretary. In front of him, she always spoke her mind and had never shown such an expression.
He felt a sense of unease.
A few days later, this unease was confirmed.
A letter of resignation lay on Jun Wuchen's desk.
