Lei Clan Office Building.

Lei Zichen spent the whole morning in a daze. On the one hand, the occupation of the Western Mountain had reached a critical stage, while on the other hand, Lan Xin had called in the morning to inform him that they had decided to inspect all the antique shops on the Rue de la République in the name of a commando inspection, in order to avoid suspicion.

He felt like his personality was about to split while constantly thinking about this final strategy. From Tao Weiguo's recent actions, it seemed like he had already started disarming, but on the other side, Lei Zichen had inadvertently caught a glimpse of him and suspected that he was hiding something behind the scenes.

On the other hand, he was nervously waiting for the results of Lan Xin's examination...

"Lei Dong, looking at the current situation, the West Mountain villa group is already in our pockets. Only a few larger companies are left unsettled, and there are even some companies that have taken the initiative to come forward to talk about cooperation with us. They are indeed sensible people." Wisely excitedly reported.

"Alright, Lei Zichen nodded his head in satisfaction. Don't let your guard down. Continue to watch over him and see what that old fox Tao Weiguang is up to." Lei Zichen urged.

"Lei Dong, now that the Tao family has gone bankrupt, I think that not only the West Mountain, but the entire Tao family will belong to you." Uncle He said while laughing. Everyone had clearly seen Tao's downfall.

"That is what you say. In short, this Tao Weiguo is very scheming, and everyone must not let his guard down!" Lei Zichen frowned as he reminded Jiang Chen with a stern look on his face.

"Got it." Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Ring, ring, ring." There was an urgent ring of a phone. It was from Lan Xin.

Lei Zichen hastily grabbed the phone, "Hello, Lan Xin." As he spoke, Lei Zichen waved to everyone, "Sorry, I have to pick up an important phone call." Lei Zichen said softly.

"Boss, are you in a meeting?" Lan Xin panted. She had obviously just finished her mission.

"That's right, it's alright, just tell me," Lei Zichen hurriedly said.

"We investigated all the antique shops on the whole street and focused on the one you mentioned, which really made us ask a question. Almost all of the antiques in the house were fake, and they hardly did any business at all. Most importantly, we found a secret basement room where a large number of guns and heroin were hidden. Right now, we are on our way back. After we have finished interrogating the boss, let me tell you, Boss, although you are no longer in the police force, you are still glowing with warmth. It seems that our brothers will treat you to a meal another day! " Lan Xin boasted in the end.

"Alright, Lan Xin, thank the brothers for what you've done." After hearing the news, Lei Zichen was greatly encouraged. He couldn't help but say excitedly, "I should be the one treating the brothers."

"Of course, of course you have to invite us. We are here to break the rules. You understand, boss." Lan Xin said sinisterly.

"Alright, alright, I know. I didn't hear anything." Lei Zi understood. Lan Xin had unreservedly revealed the entire process to him, which was a disciplinary violation.

"En, it seems that this case is over. Brothers, you should think about what the great scholar of the business world in Yan City should treat us to," Lan Xin said proudly. "Alright, let's stop talking. There's still work to be done. Just wait for my call." With that, Lan Xin hung up the phone.

Lei Zichen's face was full of excitement. Now that things had developed to this point, all the mysteries were about to be solved.

The Tao family was going to fall apart. Lei Zichen walked back to the conference room with a radiant smile on his face. He continued to discuss business strategy with everyone. As he did so, he pondered on how he could tell this news to Ning Zhiyuan.

"Lei Dong, personally, I feel that since the situation has already developed to this point, we can just go straight to the person in charge of the Tao family and tell them what we came for." Wisely was full of confidence.

"Isn't this too risky? Although the Tao family is different from the past, the West Mountain is still their trump card. How could they give it up so easily?" Uncle He asked with some worry.

"Alright!" Lei Zichen frowned. Perhaps this was the only way to meet Ning Zhiyuan, and only by meeting him would he be able to solve all his problems.

"Lei Dong, what's good?" Wisely and Uncle He both asked at the same time.

"Wisely, help me make an appointment with Ning Zhiyuan. I want to meet with him!" Lei Zichen was beaming with happiness. The news brought by Lan Xin was enough to shock his heart. He had to quickly let the person he loved know what was going on.

"Lei Dong, are you sure you want to do this?" Uncle He asked with unwillingness in his heart.

"Naturally. Alright, I've made up my mind. It's decided then. The meeting is adjourned." Lei Zichen waved his hand and left the meeting room.

Sitting in his own office, his heart was still beating wildly. The philanthropist in Yan City, the benevolent old man in everyone's eyes, was actually a drug lord. This was too unbelievable! He really didn't dare to imagine how dangerous Tao Tian's road was …

There was a knock on the door and Wisely stuck her head in.

"Lei Dong, I've just made an appointment with Mr. Ning Zhiyuan, the head of the Tao clan. He heard that we're going to talk about things related to the West Mountains, and he's feeling very good. He also said that we might as well meet today. He'll bring his new assistant along." Wisely reported the whole situation back to Ning Zhiyuan.

"Alright, then send someone to clean up the small meeting room upstairs. We'll be using it in the afternoon." When Lei Zichen heard Ning Zhiyuan's words, he could not help but rejoice. It seemed like there was no longer any enmity between him and Ning Zhiyuan. They could stand side by side to help Tao Tian.

"That's right, Wisely," Lei Zichen called out to Wisely, who was about to leave. "Did Manager Ning say anything else?"

"Oh, I didn't say anything else. I just said that now that the entire Tao clan has been handed over to him to take care of, Master Tao has already washed his hands." Wisely thought for a moment.

"So sudden?" Lei Zichen felt it was strange. Forget it, everything will be revealed when he sees Ning Zhiyuan.

"Mr. Lei, I'm busy." When she saw that Lei Zichen was just frowning and thinking, Wisely asked in a low voice.

"Alright, go. You don't have to alarm too many people for the afternoon meeting. You and I alone can go participate." Lei Zichen pondered for a moment before giving an advice.

"Alright, Lei Dong." Wisely nodded, then turned and left the office.

In the afternoon, Ning Zhiyuan brought Tao Tianyuan to the Lei Clan office building. As Ning Zhiyuan's assistant, it was natural that Tao Tian could work with him in various places.

"Brother Zhiyuan, why must I take this order?" As for going to the Lei Clan to discuss business, Tao Tian had always been against it from the bottom of his heart.

"You have just been promoted to become my assistant, so I have to prove to the other employees that I value you!" Ning Zhiyuan gave such an answer.

However, he felt that there was something fishy going on. Although the West Mountain was like a treasure trove to the Lei Clan, it was not the time for them to make a breakthrough yet, and Lei Zichen was so anxious to arrange a meeting and negotiate with him, he was not such a careless person. There must be a reason for this, so she had to bring Tao Tian along, in reality, the original Ning Zhiyuan was very against Lei Zichen, after all, all, Tao Tianchen and Tao Ran were all indirectly caused by him, but Qing Qing's words, "He is An's father, after all."

Moreover, Tao Tian's daily appearance before him was the best proof that her own safety was not threatened.

"Brother Zhiyuan, I really …" It was a good car downstairs in the Lei Family Mansion, so Tao Yao started to retreat.

"An Xin, he won't be able to recognize you, as long as you don't get out of the way." Ning Zhiyuan tried to coax her.

"But …" Tao Tian wanted to argue that Lei Zichen was her weakness. No matter when she thought of hearing or seeing him, she would always be thrown into disarray.

Tao Tian didn't say anything more. She understood the principle of 'since you have come, then you will have to take care of yourself'. She just hoped that her brother would bless her so that she wouldn't panic when she saw him.

"Miss, may I ask who you are looking for?" The front desk girl asked politely.

"I'm Ning Zhiyuan from the Lei Clan. This is my assistant." Ning Zhiyuan introduced.

"Oh, Mr. Ning, come with me." Wisely suddenly came over and led Ning Zhiyuan and Tao Tian to the small conference room they had prepared. "Mister Ning, Miss An, we, Lei Dong, will be here soon. Please wait for a moment." With that, Wisely left the conference room to find Lei Zichen.

Even though he had met Lei Zichen at the wedding last time, her heart was preoccupied with her own plans and she had no time to think about other things. Furthermore, there was a huge gap between the two of them and they had to sit opposite each other, so he would not remember her face. So what if he hated her that much?

"Mister Ning, Miss An, this is our chairman, Lei Zichen." Wisely introduced.

"Hello, Mr. Ning." Lei Zichen shook hands with Ning Zhiyuan and sat down on the other side. He completely ignored Tao Tian who was behind him. It was obvious that he didn't recognize her.

This made her both excited and disappointed.

"Let's begin." Lei Zichen gave a wink to Wisely, who turned on the projector, gathered the information, and left the meeting room alone.

"Oh, today I'm here to discuss cooperation with Mr. Ning, so I don't want too many people to participate." Oh, today I'm here to discuss cooperation with Mr. Ning, so I don't want too many people to participate. Lei Zichen found a reasonable excuse for the current situation. He was hinting to Ning Zhiyuan that the young lady behind you could also leave. Seeing that there was no reaction from Ning Zhiyuan, Lei Zichen started to worry secretly.

"Miss, may I know your name?" Lei Zichen's intention was clear as day as he started a conversation with Tao Tian.
