Chapter 487: Chapter 488 Strict Surveillance

"The sky is filled with dread. The nightfall brings unrest to my sleep. We are filled with ambitious hesitations, yet we are consumed by anxiety and unease. We are helpless against the masterpiece left behind by time. Fiery indignation boils within us, and yet we are filled with anxiety and unease. We have tried to blend in, to follow the rules and learn to be ordinary, to resist the urge to take matters into our hands, to become lost in a sea of bewildering emotions and submit to the commonplace." Suddenly, Zhao Feiyan’s mobile rang, disrupting the contents displayed on the screen.

Sitting on the sofa, Zhao Feiyan recognized the familiar phone number. She instantly knew who was calling - the CEO of Tianchu Group. On top of his business empire, he was a college junior.

She was once deeply curious about this man, but when she tried to look into him, her computer contracted a virus. For a while, it couldn’t restore itself. Her mobile was also severely disrupted, unable to start up.

Nevertheless, her phone somehow managed to recover, and Zhao Feiyan learnt that it was a large-scale virus attack. After the initial shock, Zhao Feiyan was somewhat calm, since there weren’t any important files in her computer anyway.

She then bypassed Chu You to look into the next "suspect". After successfully dialing the person, she immediately logged into the game. She saw Night Ghost was still online, while the person on the other end of the call was in the real world. It indicated that he definitely wasn’t the one.

By using this effective screening method, Zhao Feiyan was quickly able to eliminate many people. The number of remaining "suspects" was dwindling, and the rest were all in the game.

Sitting on the sofa, Zhao Feiyan ordered takeout, then started to view news about the virus attack and the Celestial World forum on her phone. Just then, the young CEO called again.

In fact, Zhao Feiyan had already dismissed the suspicion that the young CEO could be Night Ghost. To her, he was simply too busy with studies and running his company to have time to throw himself into Celestial World. Her curiosity about him was just that- curiosity.

"Hello!" She answered, and a young male voice came from the other end of the line. Upon hearing this voice, Zhao Feiyan’s heart inexplicably skipped a beat.

"Hello, is this Chu You?"

"It is, who am I speaking to?" His voice was calm, but a mysterious smirk appeared on Chu You’s face.

"I am..." Zhao Feiyan paused, frowning. She realized that approaching him as before might not work because he was the CEO of a large corporation. None of the other young talents she had encountered could match his status. Among them, those who were potential successors of large corporations would have to wait many years to assume power. Those who were potential successors in politics lacked the necessary experience. Not one of them could compare with Chu You, who at such a young age already controlled tens of thousands of jobs and held the destiny of a similar number of people in his hands. His unofficial title within Tianchu Group was "Little Ancestor".

Tianchu Group had an enormous influence overseas. Yet somehow, Chu You earned the illustrious nickname "Little Ancestor" for his gross mismanagement in a previous life.

"Er... I’m Zhao Feifei from the Development and Reform Department. I am very grateful for your time. We are interested in conducting an interview with you. I wonder what you think about this?" Zhao Feiyan forged ahead, despite her statement being full of holes. Although she was employed by the Development and Reform Department, due to specific reasons, she didn’t receive the benefits entitled to her position.

The Development and Reform Department was an exceptionally influential department whose power was well-known among the insiders, while the uninformed would never find out.

Chu You knew that Zhao Feiyan was closely associated with the government due to her family background, but he had no idea about her position in this department. If it were anyone else, he would have detected the loopholes in her statement and gotten her to reveal her true identity.

Luckily, it was Chu You rather than someone else. He wouldn’t make any attempt to annoy her, or else he wouldn’t have made the call in the first place. He wanted to meet Zhao Feiyan to allay her suspicions about him, given their longstanding relationship and Zhao Feiyan’s unwavering support in this life.

The two shared quite a profound connection. Chu You only found out in this life that they were neighbors. Well, thankfully it wasn’t some clichéd landlord-tenant relationship.

"Oh? An interview? When will it take place?" His face retained an inexplicable smile.

"Our firm respects your arrangements, Mr. Chu. The sooner, the better." Zhao Feiyan felt a bit strange. It seemed the other party had agreed directly?! Was progress so swift??!

"The sooner the better? How about today then?"

"Huh?!" Zhao Feiyan felt a shock in her heart. She expected the interview would be postponed for a few days but never anticipated that he would be so decisive. This was beyond her expectations.

"Are there any issues?"

"No issues, it’s just...uh, where will the interview be held?" Zhao Feiyan initially wanted to say: It would likely be just me, but she quickly dismissed that thought.

"How about this? I haven’t had dinner yet, so what if we talk over dinner? As for the location... let’s go with Chuyang Palace Restaurant!" Glancing at the color of the sky outside, Chu You suddenly felt hungry. Chuyang Palace Restaurant was a Five Star Class restaurant owned by Chu You, and was the only official restaurant of Tianchu Group in Yuanjing City.

Upon hearing his words, Zhao Feiyan had mixed feelings. Hey, this was supposed to be a formal interview! Was it appropriate to do it over dinner? Well, she would have to play it by ear.

"Alright, when should I meet you, Mr. Chu?"

Chu You glanced at the time and said: "Let’s say 6 o’clock."

"Alright, see you at 6 o’clock then."

"Hmm, I am hanging up now, bye."

"Thank you for your support, bye." After hanging up. Although Zhao Feiyan felt like Chu You was not Night Ghost from ’Celestial World’, she still rushed into her Game Pod to check the game. Once she logged in and checked her friends’ list, she realized that Night Ghost’s profile was offline – it was grey.

A flash of darkness crossed her eyes, and Zhao Feiyan slowly logged out of the game.

Was this a coincidence or... Was Night Ghost not actually on the list? Even though he had claimed to have seen her at a party, his statement could still reflect second-hand knowledge from other sources... If this was the case... Thinking about it made Zhao Feiyan feel a sense of loss. She had considered this idea before, but she had been somewhat evasive and unwilling to face it.

Because of the lingering uncertainty, whenever Zhao Feiyan had contacted others who had attended the party, she would subtly inquire if they knew anyone with Night Ghost’s kind of character.

After taking two deep breaths, even though this person did not attend the event, Zhao Feiyan still had to see him. She needed to prepare some relevant materials now. Her home computer was unusable. She looked at the time and felt a sense of urgency; she needed to start immediately.

In a short while, Chu You saw a black off-road vehicle being driven out of the opposite villa. He knew that the driver was Zhao Feiyan.

"Xiao Qiao, can you trail her?"

"Don’t worry, Chu You. She’s under my close surveillance." Suddenly, a cute yet imposing electronic voice resonated in the quiet bedroom.
