Chapter 404 Sneaking Into Ye Wang (4)

"That youngster came like a storm one day, and the big boss just unanimously decided that he would become a part of the group. Some said that the kid is the big boss' relative, but there are also rumors that the big boss was fascinated by his skill at first glance. Whichever it was, the fact that he is the most favored subordinate in this place is unchangeable."

"To such an extent? I wonder what he did to be able to win the big boss over like that?"

"Well, the Young Master seemed to fancy him very much. And the fact that the big boss doted on his grandson has already become a public secret here."

"The Young Master?" Li Caiyi asked curiously.

"Oh, a newbie like you probably hadn't had a chance to meet the Young Master. I have worked here for almost two years and only caught a glimpse of Young Master a few times. The big boss is very protective of him and never allowed him to play outside the main building without supervision."

"So there is a chance that the youngster is with the Young Master right now?"

"I suppose so? Since joining the group, I rarely saw him anywhere besides the main building and training room. The Young Master is young and willful. No one dares to offend the big boss, so they tend to let him do as he pleases. But that young man can tame the Young Master well."

Li Caiyi quickly tried to put the two together. Was Dai Zhiqiang hired because he could fight well and was favored by the Young Master?

"Hmm, I was hired at the last minute, so I don't know much about this place. Can you tell me what kind of business this group does?"

'',

The older woman shook her head helplessly. "You really came here without knowing anything. The Big Boss is the owner of many clubs and bars. I heard he even owned some gambling places in other countries too. A lot of shady deals frequently happen in places like these; that's why the big boss rarely showed up in public and hired many capable men to fight for him."

"Shady deals? Like what?"

"Why are you asking so much? I don't have time to answer everything. You'll know eventually after working here for some time, anyway. Don't bother me anymore and get back to your original task."

Without sparing another glance to her, the woman left Li Caiyi, who was unsatisfied. She got a lot of information from that woman, but she couldn't get the most crucial answer out of her.

She wanted to know if this group would be dangerous for Dai Zhiqiang or not. As far as she was concerned, his involvement with this group could be the very reason he ended up that way in her previous life.

'No time to waste. I guess I just have to find out on my own.'

Navigating her way through this gigantic place proved to be more challenging than she initially thought. She wanted to contact Lin Xiang and asked if he could help her sneak into the main building but found out later that she didn't have his contact information.

Li Caiyi tried to return to the practice room, but the web-like hallways confused her. She ended up in the spacious lobby instead. Or at least, she thought it was some kind of a lobby, with wide and majestic stairs in the middle.

Li Caiyi had no idea where she was or where she should go after this. If only she could find someone to ask for direction.

Right when she thought about that, a door on the other side of the lobby opened, and a burly man with tan skin came out with a tray of food in his hand.

Upon noticing Li Caiyi's presence, he clicked his tongue impatiently. "Why are you only standing there? Aren't you going to do your work?"

Li Caiyi had to glance around before she pointed at herself. "You are talking to me?"

"Who else would it be if it weren't for you? Have you seen any other people in this place? Don't waste my time and just take this."

'The latest_epi_sodes are on_the Nov elB i n website.',

Unlike Lin Xiang, this person clearly had a short temper and wasn't a person to be provoked. Albeit confused and worried, Li Caiyi walked over before taking the tray from him. Seeing that the man was about to return to his room, she asked hurriedly.

"Um, excuse me, but where should I bring this to?"

"Ah? Why ask something so obvious? Of course, you will bring this to Young Master. We have tested it, and no poison was detected. Now just go." The man waved his hand impatiently before slamming the door in front of her.

Meanwhile, Li Caiyi stared at the tray in her hand with a dumbfounded stare. If what he said was true, wouldn't it mean she had just landed on the most perfect excuse to sneak into the main building?

? "No, wait. Don't tell me this place is the main building itself? No wonder it's so huge and complicated."

Li Caiyi felt even more optimistic about this now. The only problem she had was to find out where she should bring these.

The first idea that came to her mind was the second floor. After all, the most important people usually had their rooms on the upper floor, right?

As the previous cleaning lady said, the main building was very empty and almost like an uninhabited place.

Li Caiyi couldn't even see a single staff or those men she saw earlier. This place's big boss seemed to have a paranoid tendency regarding his grandson. Except for people he trusted, no one was allowed to enter this place.

Li Caiyi had no idea how she could have ended up in this place unintentionally. But the goddess of fate seemed to be smiling at her now.

She climbed up the stairs and chose to follow her instinct as she walked through the hallway. Looking out through the glass window, there was that beautiful lotus pond below.

If the big boss truly doted on the grandson a lot, he probably would give his grandson a room where he could easily watch this amazing view whenever he wanted. At least, that was what she would do if she was in the big boss' position.

Li Caiyi had no idea if her assumption was correct or not, but following her instinct, she walked through the long hallway until it ended at a dead end.

There was a big door on the edge, which somehow piqued her interest. Maybe because it was located so deep into the building.

"Could it be, it's here?"

Li Caiyi carefully approached and pressed her ears to the door. She couldn't hear anything from inside. Nevertheless, she tried knocking on the door several times.

For the next few seconds, only silence awaited her. Just when she thought she had made the wrong call, the door suddenly opened, and a tiny hand pulled Li Caiyi inside.

It took everything in her not to drop the tray in her hand. However, the door had been slammed shut before she could fully register what had just happened.

"What takes you so long to deliver some food? Do you want to starve me to death?!"
