Chapter 539: Chapter 579: Poor Reputation

Fang Yi drove into the local branch of Dragon Team in Moon City after passing the security check.

Upon arriving at Zhao Guosheng’s office, Zhao also saw Fang Yi and immediately said, "Well, what brings you here today, blowing this rare guest my way?"

"Deputy Director Zhao, save the flattery. Since I’m such a rare guest, hurry up and make me a cup of tea," Fang Yi said as he took a seat with an air of nonchalance.

Zhao Guosheng’s facial muscles twitched twice. He called in a clerk to make tea while Fang Yi shot him a look of disdain.

Fang Yi took the teacup from the clerk, sipped the hot tea, and said, "I’m not going to beat around the bush with you. I’m here to ask for a favor."

A shrewd look appeared in Zhao Guosheng’s eyes as he said with a smile, "A favor?"

"I need you to find someone for me."

Zhao Guosheng said, "You’re now the Alliance Hierarch of Dragon Soul Alliance, having integrated the five major alliances of Moon City. Finding a person should be a piece of cake for you. Why would you think to ask me for help?"

Fang Yi glanced sidelong at Zhao Guosheng and pulled out the Dragon King Token from his pocket, slapping it down on the table.

Zhao Guosheng’s mouth twitched, "Are you threatening me?"

Damn it, you don’t listen to a polite word, forcing me to bring out the Dragon King Token to suppress you.

"It’s not a threat, it’s an order. With the Dragon King Token here, you should know what it represents," Fang Yi said coolly.

"...Alright, you win," Zhao Guosheng said. "Who are you looking for?"

"Ma Yong?" Zhao Guosheng’s face changed.

Seeing the shift in Zhao Guosheng’s expression, something occurred to Fang Yi, "You know him?"

Zhao Guosheng shook his head and then, with a complicated look, said to Fang Yi, "I don’t know him, but apart from you, just a few days ago my boss sent down an order for me to find someone named Ma Yong, too. Here’s the photo." He took a picture out of the drawer.

Fang Yi took it and glanced at it. The person in the photo was indeed Ma Yong.

Zhao Guosheng continued, "This Ma Yong is a minor manager at Childe Corporation. Childe Corporation went bankrupt, and most of the top brass ran away, especially General Manager Li Xuan who got arrested. But the illegally raised funds of the company are unaccounted for. According to the investigations these past few days, it seems Ma Yong has control over several important items, like property deeds and land titles."

Fang Yi nodded; he had also learned about this from Isabella. He was eager to find Ma Yong to help Qin Xin, but he hadn’t expected that his investigation would reveal a dense network behind Ma Yong.

"Give it to me straight, can you find Ma Yong?" Fang Yi asked.

"With Dragon Team on the case, it’s as good as done. It’s just a matter of time," Zhao Guosheng stated confidently.

Everyone knows that Dragon Team is Xuan Cang’s state machinery. Once it begins to move, it’s terrifyingly efficient. No matter how deeply you hide within Xuan Cang, you can be found; it’s only a matter of time.

"May I take the liberty of asking, who instructed your boss to issue this order?" Fang Yi asked, curious about this person with the same goal as him.

Zhao Guosheng’s eyes showed a complexity as he hesitantly revealed a name, "Fang Jupeng."

Upon hearing this name, Fang Yi was stunned, then he laughed.

"Fang Jupeng is the Fourth Master of the Fang Family. His son, Tian Qi, had his legs broken by you. Looking at the current situation, it seems Fang Jupeng is opposing you, and yet you can laugh?"

Fang Yi’s face remained smiling as he said, "The reason I’m smiling is that Fang Jupeng couldn’t find Ma Yong either. This is good news, so naturally I need to smile."

Actually, Fang Yi had assumed that Ma Yong was with Fang Jupeng, which was why he risked sneaking into Yunfei Mansion that night. After his encounter with Blood Buddha’s eradication of thoughts, Fang Yi thought the enemy was waiting for the prey to come, but what he didn’t expect was that Fang Jupeng didn’t have Ma Yong at all, and even he was looking for Ma Yong.

It seemed that whoever found Ma Yong first would gain the upper hand.

Zhao Guosheng, looking at Fang Yi’s smiling face, felt vaguely familiar. After giving it some thought, he remembered that every time this guy came up with some sly scheme, that smile would appear on his face.

Fang Yi left the branch office and, before leaving, he used the Dragon King Token to force Deputy Director Zhao to make a military order — find Ma Yong within two days, which really upset Zhao Guosheng at the time.

But that was no longer Fang Yi’s concern. He held the Dragon King Token in his hand, and with the Token’s presence, it was as if the Dragon King himself had arrived.

After leaving the branch office, Fang Yi glanced at the sky. It wasn’t dark yet. A thought flashed through his mind, and he drove toward Rong Group.

Fang Yi parked the car in the underground parking lot. Just as he was about to get out of the car, he suddenly saw through the front windshield a woman with a Monk step out of a white Chevrolet.

The woman had her hair up and was dressed in a white suit, which exuded a knowledgeable and elegant temperament.

"Hmm? Isn’t that Lin Xueru? What is she doing here?" Fang Yi found it strange — increasingly strange.

Fang Yi didn’t get out of the car to find Lin Xueru but quickly pondered, and an idea sprouted in his mind. After watching Lin Xueru and the Monk leave the underground parking, Fang Yi finally got out of his car.

Entering the Jinrong Building, he saw Lin Xueru and the Monk enter an elevator. Fang Yi approached the closed elevator, glanced at the floor indicator next to it, and saw it climb all the way to the top floor of the Jinrong Building before stopping.

The top floor of the Jinrong Building was actually the former office of Rong Shuo; the Rong Group was now under the control of Rong Quan. If Fang Yi guessed correctly, Lin Xueru was there to see Rong Quan.

"What could Lin Xueru want with Rong Quan? Could it be that she’s interested in Rong Group?" Many thoughts flashed through Fang Yi’s mind in an instant. Either way, he would only know after Lin Xueru left.

Fang Yi called the elevator, entered it, and went straight to the top floor of the Jinrong Building. There, he arrived at the reception desk.

As the saying goes, the reception is the face of a company; naturally, the receptionist was a beautiful woman. Fang Yi gave his name, and the receptionist was moved. She had heard the Chairman’s instructions; should this man named Fang Yi arrive, he must be treated well.

The receptionist had someone take her place and then led Fang Yi to the lounge area, later bringing him a cup of coffee.

"Wait a moment," Fang Yi spoke.

"Does Mr. Fang have any other instructions?" the receptionist asked respectfully with a smile.

"I’d like to ask, how do you find the new chairman who recently took office?" Fang Yi inquired.

The receptionist was taken aback for a moment, clearly not expecting such a question from Fang Yi. She quickly answered, "The new chairman is really nice, very handsome too, kind to everyone, sunny and charming, a blessing for the Rong Group..."

Fang Yi waved his hand, "Tell me the truth."

The receptionist hesitated briefly, then her face showed distress as she bit her lip and said, "The new chairman is incredibly lecherous. Every time he comes to the company, he leers at my chest, and not just at me—he harasses the other female comrades too..."

Without listing any merits and focusing on the flaws, Fang Yi understood that Rong Quan had a very bad reputation within the company, and probably eighty percent of the female staff were displeased with him. As for the remaining twenty percent, they were not particularly attractive.

Fang Yi found it hard to imagine how long Rong Quan could maintain control over Rong Group.

Suddenly, Fang Yi thought of what Hua Huiyue had said to him about taking over Rong Group himself and wondered what would happen then.
