Chen Bin reached out to lift Zhang Zixuan's chin, his eyes cold and icy.
"Actually, you can speak up if you want, but without evidence, no one will believe you. Besides, Mu Yun is my girlfriend, everything I do with her is legal. Do you understand what I mean?"
Zhang Zixuan didn't dare hesitate in the slightest, nodding repeatedly in fear.
"I understand... I understand! From now on, I'm your... oh no! I'm Chairman Mu's dog, I'll do whatever she asks me to do."
Despite her sincere face, Chen Bin didn't forget to continue humiliating her.
"Want to be my girlfriend's dog? You have to prove you're worthy! But I don't care about that, as long as you can serve her well."
For someone as high in power as Chen Bin, Zhang Zixuan couldn't even muster the courage to be angry.
She nodded forcefully again, looking extremely cowardly.
"Fine, I will definitely satisfy Chairman Mu in the future."
Seeing that his warning was effective, Chen Bin took out his phone and dialed a number right in front of her.
"The general manager of Imperial Capital No.1 is named Zhang Zixuan. Starting from scratch, you'll be responsible for tracking and investigating her. No matter what she does, daily reports are required."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zixuan's face turned even uglier.
If it were someone else, she would definitely think they were bluffing.
But since this person was Chen Bin, Zhang Zixuan dared not entertain thoughts of betrayal.
Because Chen Bin really had the power to kill her.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Bin waved Zhang Zixuan away.
"Alright, you can leave now. From now on, if you want to come up to this floor, including yourself, you must report to Chairman Mu, got it?"
"I... I understand."
Zhang Zixuan got up from the ground and gently wiped the corner of her mouth of the essence.
She shakily walked to the door, opened the room, and walked out, letting out a long breath once outside.
Having finished all that, Chen Bin directly carried Mu Yun to the bed, beginning a new round of conquest.
The next day after getting up, Chen Bin was in the dining room finishing his meal when he received a call from Zheng Junjie.
Zhao Yu had an undercover lover named Han Shanyue, and this person seemed highly suspicious.
Han Shanyue was thirty years old this year, she worked as a TV actress.
Since her debut, she's acted in many dramas, though not incredibly famous, she is considered a third-tier star.
She often went abroad with Zhao Yu, making her highly likely to be a spy.
Additionally, Han Shanyue's nanny Tang Xiu and assistant Feng Changran have both traveled abroad.
Zheng Junjie even suspected that the villa Han Shanyue lived in was very likely a secret contact point.
Upon learning this information, Chen Bin decided to carry out a special investigation on Han Shanyue.
After about five days, multiple channels provided analysis.
Finally, it was determined that Han Shanyue, Feng Changran, and Tang Xiu were spies, but their codenames were unknown.
Han Shanyue was the head of this spy group, initially using her beauty to captivate Zhao Yu, then forcing him to coerce Zhao Rucheng into stealing core samples.
That is to say, the missing core samples were stolen by Zhao Rucheng.
Zheng Junjie felt they could capture them all in one go, but Chen Bin believed they should catch the thief and retrieve the loot.
Thus he ordered once more to keep Zhao Rucheng and the others under tight surveillance, not allowing them to leave the Imperial Capital.
Also, they were monitoring all outlets leaving Imperial Capital, preventing them from transporting the core samples out.
Once all preparations were made, Chen Bin took Song He along to Zhao Rucheng's hospital room.
As soon as they walked in, Zhao Rucheng got out of bed to greet them.
Simultaneously, he gave Zhao Yu a look to signal him to leave.
"Secretary Chen, Secretary Song, is there something you need?"
In Zhao Rucheng's view, the simultaneous appearance of Chen Bin and Song He meant it wouldn't be simple.
Chen Bin didn't hold back, speaking directly.
"After the research decision from the school, your health condition is no longer suitable for continuing work. We came over to let you peacefully recuperate and hand over your work to other relevant personnel."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Rucheng seemed somewhat agitated, quickly answering.
"My body has no problems! I'm already well-recovered and can return to work at any time."
"This..."
Chen Bin looked aside at Song He, who hesitantly asked.
"You really have no problems?"
Zhao Rucheng nodded repeatedly, "No problems!"
"Alright, please expedite your discharge process, the institute needs you!"
The next day, Zhao Rucheng was discharged, returning to work at the Thermodynamics Institute.
As he left work in the evening, he spotted Xie Kun leaving the office and immediately called out to him.
"Old Xie, I want to switch offices with you."
"What's wrong?"
"The loss of core samples highly impacts me, I can't focus in my office, can we switch offices?"
"I thought it was something, no issue!"
Nodding, Xie Kun exchanged office keys with Zhao Rucheng.
Late at night, Zhao Rucheng sat at home drinking tea alone.
After intense internal deliberation, though, he eventually grabbed his phone and took Xie Kun's key out the door.
He took a taxi to the Thermodynamics Institute, first calling Zhao Yu.
Ensuring the surveillance issue was resolved, he then entered the premises.
He opened Xie Kun's office door, and after confirming no one was around, only then opened the safe.
However, after seeing core sample No. 2, he was instantly dumbfounded.
Behind the monitor, Zheng Junjie asked urgently.
"Should we act now?"
Chen Bin decided to lay a long trap for a big catch, "Wait a bit, see where he plans to go."
After leaving the Thermodynamics Institute, Zhao Rucheng took a taxi and returned home directly.
As soon as he stepped inside, Zhao Yu hurried over.
"Dad, did you get that thing?"
Zhao Rucheng said nothing, returning to his room; he took out a small porcelain bottle from a highly private drawer.
He poured out a grain and put it in his mouth, then sat on the bed ash-faced.
Zhao Yu was bewildered by this seemingly aimless scene and asked urgently.
"Say something, did you get it or not?"
Zhao Rucheng shook his head, "They... they found out."
"Who, who found out? You should speak clearly, who are they?"
As soon as Zhao Yu finished speaking, Zhao Rucheng fell directly onto the bed.
His complexion became extremely ugly, "Dad, what's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"
Zhao Rucheng took a deep breath, struggling to answer.
"The core sample No. 2 in the safe is fake, National Security has already found out! I didn't do this solely because of you; I was also threatened."
"Who? Who threatened you?"
"He... he's called..."
Just as Zhao Rucheng finished speaking, his head tilted and he lost motion.
As Zhao Yu took out his phone to call for emergency help, a sudden sound of breaking in rang out.
Followed by a rush of over a dozen National Security personnel charging in.
They quickly captured Zhao Yu and immediately sent Zhao Rucheng to the hospital.
After a surprise interrogation, Zhao Yu confessed to espionage without denial.
Moreover, he voluntarily admitted handing the core samples to Han Shanyue.
Without hesitation, Chen Bin proceeded to capture Han Shanyue's spy ring.
Unfortunately, they were too alert, retaliating as soon as National Security arrived.
After a fierce shootout, Feng Changran was successfully killed, and Tang Xiu was injured and captured.
Han Shanyue and the core samples were nowhere to be found; the villa's computers and phones were all technically sabotaged.
Just as Chen Bin thought he might return empty-handed, news arrived from Imperial Capital Airport.
Han Shanyue used a false identity to attempt to fly to Beautiful Country.
However, she had already been successfully apprehended by National Security waiting in the area...
