Protagonist:

Chen Yi

Yin Senyong carried the safe into Chen Yi's bedroom.

The three sat in a circle around it, staring at the silver-gray, cool-toned safe with expressions as focused as if it contained untold gold and silver treasures.

Most concerned with his own affairs, Fang Yu asked first: "How do you open it?"

Yin Senyong scraped the safe's casing with his fingernail, producing a sharp sound, and replied: "Pry it open."

"How can a safe be pried open?" Fang Yu curled his lip in disdain.

Not knowing Yin Senyong's identity, Fang Yu's mockery seemed perfectly normal.

Yin Senyong ignored him, simply placing his hand on the safe's lid and gradually applying force.

Chen Yi lightly pressed his hand down and said: "No need, it'll be troublesome if there's a self-destruct device. Tell me about how you got the safe."

"They were drinking up front, I went to the back, knocked out a guy, and asked his companion where the documents and video tapes were. He said he didn't know, but they might be in the yacht's master bedroom. When I went there, I just happened to see the person in the photo—Ming An Tu putting things into the safe. After he left, I tried to force it open, but the alarm went off, so I could only carry the whole thing back."

Yin Senyong spoke extremely briefly, but prying a safe off a sturdy ship's hull was far from a simple matter.

Fang Yu was stunned, thinking: Could you be Superman?

While they were talking and listening, Chen Yi hid his hand behind his back and secretly drew a small circle with Curse Ink.

Level 3 Curse Ink could move a total weight of three kilograms.

He pretended to turn a few numbers, and only heard a "click"—the large object in front of him clearly made a sound.

Chen Yi pulled lightly, and the safe slowly opened.

"You know the password?" Fang Yu had just emerged from his disdain for Superman stories and immediately fell back into shock.

"Secret, hush." Chen Yi smiled and raised a finger to his lips. The corners of his eyes were smiling, but his gaze was serious.

Fang Yu nodded repeatedly, extremely nervous.

The safe was pulled fully open.

Chen Yi glanced at it roughly, then with his backhand lifted the safe and dumped everything inside out.

Fang Yu jumped in fright. Just by eyeballing it, he knew the safe weighed over 150 kilograms, never expecting Chen Yi to casually pick it up and flip it over.

His attention on Chen Yi's arms was such that he didn't even notice the banknotes, video tapes, and discs on the ground.

"Quite a bit of money." Chen Yi muttered, pulling out stacks of RMB, US dollars, euros, and yen to look at, then dumped them all into Yin Senyong's hands, saying: "Sort out the banknotes of different denominations."

On the ground, besides the money, there were four jewelry boxes and two small yellow croakers used as paperweights.

Fang Yu lowered his head and helped sort things out, counting aloud: "Two gold watches, one diamond-encrusted watch, one diamond necklace. And a box... oh, condoms, probably around one million. Money from various countries, New Taiwan dollars and Hong Kong dollars are all prepared—this guy's yacht was for fleeing."

He gave the answer decisively, but his eyes were fixed on the remaining two piles.

The left pile was video tapes, the right pile was discs. The total probably exceeded one hundred.

Chen Yi frowned and asked: "Do you know which one is yours?"

"Let's see?" Fang Yu laughed happily.

"Then let's see." Chen Yi didn't hesitate, and asked the housekeeper for a VCR and a DVD player.

Fang Yu sat excitedly on a small stool, ready to appreciate—or peep at—over a hundred images of other people. This was a completely different kind of thrill from being on the scene oneself.

Voyeuristic desire is a primitive human desire. Chen Yi believed that, given the prosperity of the scientific world today, young people who had believed in "voyeurism" since childhood and persisted in their ideals could all potentially become Holy Knights.

"Which disc should we start with..." Fang Yu said while picking up a disc, actively inserting it into the DVD player, and added: "The disc version should be clearer, right. Nowadays there are still people using video tapes."

"Ee-ya ee-ya"

The moans immediately filled the room.

"Oh... start directly from the sand field." Fang Yu crossed his legs, looking ready to seriously appreciate it.

Snow-white beautiful flesh rolled on the bed, the cooperating man slightly older but his figure not yet out of shape, every move disciplined.

Yin Senyong said in a contemplative tone: "So this is how you train women?"

Chen Yi coughed a few times and asked Fang Yu in a deep voice: "Do you know the people inside?"

"Not from Jiangning, doesn't sound like it from the voice either. Maybe an official." Fang Yu pointed to the belt wallet at the foot of the bed: "All domestic brands costing a few hundred, not something an official would play with an Oriental person."

At this moment, the screen began to use stolen 【footage】, Yin Senyong had just learned to watch movies, where had he seen such explosive images, and excitedly said: "What material is this?"

Fang Yu answered, not understanding: "Bags and wallets, of course they're leather."

Yin Senyong nodded repeatedly, the whites of his eyes almost turning red: "Leather is fine, I'll make a set when I go back."

Chen Yi licked his lips, worried about making a fool of himself, and turned to say: "Find a notebook and write down the ones you recognize, to see what tricks Ming An Tu is playing. Don't watch the ones you don't recognize."

Fang Yu naturally liked such work, but said disdainfully: "What tricks could it be? Sexual bribery of officials, then threatening them with video tapes—an old trick others have played to death."

While speaking, he inserted the second disc.

Not long after, Fang Yu clapped and laughed: "I know this guy, from the Fujian East Transportation Bureau, embezzled 200 million and fled, caused a huge stir back then."

"Caught back?"

"How could he be caught?" Fang Yu hehed a laugh and continued watching.

After a while, he recognized another one, laughing: "From the Xijing Civil Affairs Department, who knows how many years of poverty relief funds he embezzled, heard he went to Canada, maybe he's doing poverty relief for Eskimos."

"This one... some big shot from a central enterprise, met him once, probably also has several hundred million, wait, let me check." Fang Yu got interested and turned on the computer too.

Chen Yi rested his chin on his hand, starting to consider how to handle these video tapes and discs.

Simply giving them away was too wasteful. Use them to strike at Mingde Group? Everyone's attention would probably be on the protagonists of these video tapes, not on Mingde Group. Besides, a stolen safe was also somewhat unclear.

These videos could definitely strike at Ming An Tu or Mingde Group, but Chen Yi hoped to keep himself hidden, at least so the Chen Family wouldn't have too high a political cost—that would be the most cost-effective.

Fang Yu changed the disc again at this time, laughing loudly: "Finally a hometown person, Jiangning City Vice Mayor, about the same as my old man, fled three years ago. The biggest fugitive corrupt official from Jiangning. Alas, don't know Old Qiu likes this, powerful, old but still firm!"

"This is powerful... the factory director of the Kunming Cigarette Factory, apparently fled to the United States for 16 million according to the internet."

Chen Yi realized at this moment and asked in surprise, "These are all people who fled abroad?"

"Huh? Now that you mention it, it really... could it be Mingde helped them escape?" Stimulated by the disc, Fang Yu's mind became clear, and he hurriedly said, "Mingde Group has many affiliated industries, including various agencies for studying abroad. Even if they don't handle things through their own agencies, they can at least help find connections. This path is good; if someone helped me prepare my retreat, wouldn't I work hard to make money?"

"Since these are all corrupt officials who fled abroad, why keep their video tapes?"

"Maybe they put the unimportant video tapes on the yacht; perhaps Ming An Tu has this hobby..." Fang Yu recalled that his own video tape was also inside, and couldn't help but feel disgusted, saying angrily: "We can't let this kid off."

"Record them first. Yin Senyong, Dad is coming back soon; let's go to Big Brother's place and listen to some basic things."

Yin Senyong, who was watching with great interest, went unwillingly, leaving a room full of Japanese howling and the flushed Fang Yu.

At 10:30 PM, Chen Congyu, having completed various celebration activities, returned home. This was his first time riding in a government car provided by the state, an Audi A6 several times cheaper than his own Mercedes-Benz. But no matter what, at least the driver and fuel were reimbursed by the state.

"Chairman is back." The whole family stood in the living room, jokingly welcoming Chen Congyu.

Chen Father laughed heartily and said, "Sounds like quite the airs."

Yin Senyong suddenly knelt on one knee at this moment and shouted loudly in half-baked Chinese: "Chairman!"

He thought he really had to call him that.

Chen Yi chuckled and said, "Dad, let me introduce him: Yin Senyong, Combat Knight; he will be your bodyguard."

"Bodyguard?"

"Knight Yin Senyong has the style of old-time knights and belongs to the Yin Sen Family. He now pledges allegiance to my Chen Family, at least for the next 30 years."

"After 30 years, I will return to the Yin Sen Family, whether or not I become a Divine Art Knight." Yin Senyong said seriously.

Chen Congyu blinked and looked carefully at Chen Yi, asking: "You're not Chen Rongxi transformed, are you?"

"Dad!" the little sister called out in dissatisfaction.

"Looks like not." Chen Congyu rubbed the little sister's hair, just like when she was young.

Chen Rongxi stomped her feet in anger.

Chen Yi joked: "The etiquette you learned at the girls' school, you've forgotten it all, right?"

"Going to a girls' school doesn't mean I won't grow up." Chen Rongxi shouted through gritted teeth.

"Or rather, Yin Senyong, we discussed it earlier; let him study for a period of time at Big Brother's military camp first, then formally start his bodyguard job. However, Yin Senyong is only suited to perform his duties in the Jiangning area; for the remaining time, others will be responsible."

"I don't need a bodyguard, do I?"

"You don't need to worry about Yin Senyong; just give him a pass and documents. Normally he goes wherever he should go, and he'll be near you." Chen Yi shrugged and said: "Yin Senyong reports to you; if there's any place inconvenient for him to go, just explain it separately."

Fang Manyi glared at Chen Congyu and said: "An official, where would there be a need for a separate place?"

Chen Congyu nodded repeatedly and said: "Follow at any time. I guess I'll be very busy from now on, so Yin Senyong will have to work hard."

"Your Excellency need not worry; a knight should be loyal to his post."

"Oh, alright. It seems someone needs to be arranged to go to Hong Kong and Macau recently; I'll help you get a pass too. Consider this a meeting gift."

"Yin Senyong cannot go to other places. Hmm... the Party Group Secretary of the Jiangnan Shipyard or something, is he also a member of the CPPCC?"

"Of course."

"Do they have anyone going to Hong Kong and Macau?"

Chen Congyu still didn't understand, sat on the sofa, and said: "Probably, what's wrong?"

"The first step for a corrupt official to flee abroad isn't leaving the country?" Chen Yi took out his mobile phone and said: "Whoever it is, as long as the money is moved away, the shipyard will fall into a desperate situation."
