Guaranteed to Get It Done, Brother!

"Mr. Han, please take a seat," the staff member said, pointing to the empty seat next to Xiao Chunping.

Chancellor Han nodded slightly and sat down next to Xiao Chunping. Ying Fu's seat was to the side and behind Chancellor Han, right next to Yao Qing... After all, one was a student brought by Chancellor Han, and the other was a grandson brought by Xiao Chunping. Both belonged to the category of "family members" of important guests.

After taking their seats, wave after wave of people came forward to converse with Chancellor Han. Chancellor Han was actually very skilled at this. Holding a wine glass, he talked and laughed cheerfully with the others, looking like a rather renowned elder guiding his juniors.

As for Ying Fu sitting behind him, absolutely no one bothered him. This also perfectly matched Ying Fu's expectations...

Of course, excluding Yao Qing, who was staring daggers at him.

Ying Fu's gaze swept over those guests one by one, ultimately landing on the only remaining empty table on the opposite side.

Since Chancellor Han's seat was already quite far forward and the aisle was right next to it, the number one position was directly opposite Chancellor Han, and next to that was Sun Zhongliang, the director of Bureau 749.

Sun Zhongliang seemed to have arrived early. He sat there alone drinking gloomy wine, his brows slightly furrowed, as if something was weighing on his mind.

This made Ying Fu feel increasingly curious about the identity of the owner of that table.

Right at this moment, a staff member sweating profusely hurriedly ran in from the door, heading straight for Sun Zhongliang.

"Director... Director, please go take a look quickly."

Sun Zhongliang, who was already in a bad mood, raised his head. "What is it, all panicked and flustered..."

"It's Mister Sun. He wants to bring a lackey into the venue who wasn't registered in advance and hasn't had their identity verified... We told him this violates the rules and asked him to leave the lackey outside to wait, but he won't listen!

"Now he's clamoring about going back to the US. A group of us are outside blocking him, and we almost can't hold him back..."

Sun Zhongliang: ...

Hearing the words "Mister Sun" and "going back to the US", Sun Zhongliang felt a sudden headache. He helplessly waved his hand,

"Forget it, forget it, let them in. Add another table next to Mister Sun."

"This... alright."

The staff member's hurried actions had already attracted the attention of quite a few people. They watched in confusion as he, after finishing communicating with Director Sun, ran back to the door sweating profusely, and began to whisper amongst themselves.

A few seconds later,

The staff member respectfully led two people over.

Behind him, a youth wearing a Tang suit sauntered into the venue. While playing with a wooden bracelet of unknown material, he leisurely swept his gaze over the crowd through the Round Sunglasses on the bridge of his nose.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and his entire body revealed a cynical and uninhibited temperament... At first glance, one would think it was some authentic young master from the Imperial Capital out for a stroll with his bird.

Behind him was also an inconspicuous Tang-suited youth, dressed entirely in black with an ordinary face. He belonged to the type of Ordinary Person who would be hard to find again if thrown onto the street.

The vast majority of the people in the venue were seeing this rumored overseas senior for the first time. Seeing that he was actually this young, they were shocked beyond measure in their hearts. For a time, the sounds of discussion became even denser.

"He is that Mister Sun?"

"He looks to be only around twenty years old... Didn't they say his qualifications are even older than Director Sun's? Are the rumors false?"

"What do you guys know? Mister Sun is of the Path of the Actor. The Path of the Actor being able to change one's appearance and physical form is very normal, right?"

"True..."

"I can testify. I saw Mister Sun once when I participated in the conference more than ten years ago, and he looked exactly like this back then."

"So it's the Art of Retaining Youth. No wonder he looks so young... His actual age should be over a hundred years old, right?"

"..."

The crowd's speculations about Sun Bumian were continuous and unending. However, amidst the crowd, there was only one exception.

Ying Fu looked at Sun Bumian swaggering through the venue, his expression as ugly as if he had eaten a fly...

Ying Fu had of course seen Sun Bumian. Back in the Ancient Vault of the Imperial Path, this guy hadn't caused any lack of trouble. However, from beginning to end, Ying Fu had never known Sun Bumian's name... It wasn't until he saw the person himself that he realized.

Isn't this Chen Ling's person from the Nine Monarchs era???

He is Sun Bumian?

The moment Sun Bumian appeared in the venue, Ying Fu suddenly had a bad feeling... One must know that Sun Bumian was Chen Ling's companion, and Chen Ling had also returned to this era using a Timeline Save File.

Wouldn't Sun Bumian's appearance at this time be too much of a coincidence?

Ying Fu's gaze directly looked at Sun Bumian's unregistered, plain-looking "lackey". A faint light flickered in his eyes, not knowing what he was pondering.

In the next second, he pulled out his phone, found those two students responsible for guarding Chu Changqing in his contacts, and was just about to dial the call when his fingertips stopped in mid-air...

No...

That won't do.

If that person really is that guy, then contacting the two students now would undoubtedly be self-destructing and exposing Chu Changqing's location!

Damn it...

Ying Fu hesitated for a long time. He could only abandon the thought of having them transfer Chu Changqing immediately and put away his phone again. While sipping the tea on the table, he observed the duo of Sun Bumian out of the corner of his eye.

Sun Bumian swaggered over and sat down in his seat. He gave Chen Ling beside him a look, as if showing off.

How about it? I said I'd bring you in, and I brought you in, right!

Chen Ling: ...

Chen Ling also didn't expect that Sun Bumian's status in Bureau 749 would actually be this high. Just by tossing out a sentence "going back to the US", almost any matter could be settled. Even his seat was arranged next to Sun Zhongliang.

Chen Ling didn't know Sun Zhongliang, but everyone's table had their name written on it... Only Chen Ling's own table was the exception.

After Chen Ling took his seat, his gaze quickly swept across his surroundings.

Very quickly, he saw the duo of Fu Kun and Zheng Zhiqing, as well as Ying Fu, who was hiding behind Chancellor Han and disguised quite ordinarily.

Ying Fu was not of the Path of the Actor and didn't have the ability to change his face. Therefore, Chen Ling could recognize him at a glance. However, Chen Ling's gaze did not linger on him, very naturally sweeping past, pretending not to recognize him.

Then, he silently took out his phone and started sending messages in a group chat.

[Group Name: The Thespian Family]

[Chen Ling: The one on the far left of the second row in the southeast corner is the Path of the Sovereign.]

[Shen Nan: I see him, he doesn't look like anything special.]

[Chen Ling: He should have intentionally restrained his Aura. Don't keep staring at him, he'll discover it.]

[Sun Bumian: Holy crap, it's actually small hot pots today! Awesome! (#StarryEyes)]

[Chen Ling: @LuckyBigWatermelon Later, according to the plan, mess with him a bit. No problem, right?]

[Sun Bumian: Ah? Do we have to do it while eating?]

[Chen Ling: Add one thousand kilograms.]

[Sun Bumian: Guaranteed to get it done, brother! (#ThumbsUp)]

Seeing the last message, Chen Ling silently exited the group chat. Then he clicked on Yang Xiao's profile picture and simply sent two words:

—Make your move.
