Basically, Xavi had been following behind You Ye. This factory supposedly had many workers, and naturally, there should have been people moving around. Yet, on this path, they didn’t encounter such situations.<br>It seemed that You Ye was already very accustomed to directly intruding into other people's places like this.<br>Why was she so skilled?<br>Probably because similar incidents had happened many, many times, so much so that they became second nature. However, with the peculiar abilities of the Buyers Club 66, it seemed getting accustomed to such situations would not be too difficult.<br>One only needed a heart strong enough to bear it.<br>“Is this the Executive Suite?”<br>You Ye stopped walking. Xavi looked at the room’s nameplate on which You Ye rested her eyes: Executive Suite, Michael Cao.<br>Michael Cao… If memory served, Gold Fortune had mentioned that his son-in-law’s name was Ziqian.<br>“To understand the situation of this factory, the simplest and most convenient method is right here,” You Ye smiled faintly and directly opened the door of the Executive Suite, standing respectfully to the side. “Master, please enter.”<br>There was no time to marvel at You Ye’s reverence. As the door opened, Xavi saw a young man with a surprised expression staring back at him.<br>“Who are you?” he inquired immediately.<br>People in society seemed to exude a maturity and gravity that students lacked, along with an air of authority. Xavi paused slightly, realizing he had no choice but to muster his courage and step inside.<br>After entering, You Ye also followed slowly behind him.<br>Sitting at the desk, Michael Cao frowned and stood up. Judging by appearances, one of them looked like a clueless student, while the other was a very beautiful woman. Those were his first impressions, and he was certain he did not know these people who had barged in.<br>“Who are you two? If you had an appointment, I would remember it,” he said calmly, placing a hand near the office phone, neither impulsive nor flustered. “Please state your purpose.”<br>“Mr. Cao, my master has come to assess the operational situation of your factory,” You Ye said with a gentle smile, stepping forward. “Please cooperate.”<br>Michael Cao was clearly taken aback and frowned. “If you two are here to joke around, then please leave. I won't allow the security team to harm you.”<br>You Ye replied, “Mr. Cao, please cooperate. Don’t make my job difficult, alright?”<br>Her voice was soft as the night breeze, her sapphire-like eyes shimmering. Under such a gaze, Michael Cao’s expression suddenly became vacant, and he responded slowly, “Okay… Alright…”<br>“Mind control?” Xavi asked abruptly.<br>You Ye nodded. “Just a small trick, effective only on ordinary people with weak willpower.”<br>Once again marveling at You Ye’s capabilities, Xavi grew even more curious as he closely observed Michael Cao. He approached him, waving a hand in front of Michael’s eyes. Seeing no reaction, Xavi felt slightly reassured.<br>“Will he tell the truth?” Xavi asked again.<br>You Ye nodded. “As long as it’s not an overly resisted question, he should answer truthfully.”<br>Xavi pondered for a moment before asking Michael, “Gold Fortune said you secretly had him sign some documents to take ownership of this factory. Now you plan to collaborate with developers to demolish the factory. Is that true?”<br>“It’s true,” Michael Cao replied woodenly.<br>Xavi frowned, thinking for a moment. “Tell me about the factory’s operational status.”<br>“It will go bankrupt within three months,” Michael Cao said.<br>Xavi was startled. “Bankrupt? Are you sure?”<br>Michael Cao replied, “Yes. The factory owes the bank a large sum of money, with less than three months to repay it. Over the past two years, the factory has had almost no orders. When the time comes, the factory will inevitably go bankrupt, and its land will revert to the bank.”<br>“So, you secretly took over the factory, planning to make a big profit before the repayment deadline, correct?”<br>“I had no other choice. I couldn’t just sit idly and watch everything slip away.” Michael Cao’s expression turned painful. “I have to save it…”<br>He seemed to be struggling.<br>Perhaps, as You Ye had said, overly resistant questions could cause him to awaken.<br>“What did you do to me?!” Michael Cao suddenly roared. Looking alarmed and tense, he grabbed the office phone. “Sherry, get a few security guards up here immediately!”<br>Xavi instinctively glanced at You Ye.<br>The maid puppet, seemingly existing to solve problems for the Buyers Club 66 owner, swiftly stepped in front of Michael Cao and waved an arm in front of his eyes.<br>Michael Cao promptly closed his eyes and collapsed onto the ground, appearing unconscious.<br>“He won’t wake up for the next half-hour, Master. Please don’t worry,” You Ye said softly. “Master, have you made a decision yet?”<br>Xavi quickly scanned Michael Cao’s desk and the office surroundings before shaking his head. “No, there’s another place I’d like to check.”<br>…<br>…<br>Holding tightly onto the obsidian card, Gold Fortune once again nervously pushed open the ancient wooden door of the exclusive lounge.<br>When the bell at the door rang with a melodious and crisp sound, You Ye, with her pale and otherworldly beauty, smiled and said, “Guest, welcome to your return.”<br>Gold Fortune instinctively nodded, noticing the lounge owner, Xavi, seated at the round table he had once sat at.<br>The glass of water was less than a third full, indicating he had been there for some time.<br>Gold Fortune hurried over to Xavi, sat down, and directly asked, “Boss, about my factory…”<br>Xavi smiled faintly. “No problem, Mr. Gold. The time of life you wish to trade is fully sufficient to reclaim your factory.”<br>Gold Fortune was overjoyed. “Really?”<br>Xavi clapped his hands, and You Ye stepped forward with a tray in hand, upon which rested a pile of documents.<br>Xavi said to Gold Fortune, “Within these files are all the original contracts you signed to gradually transfer the factory to Michael Cao. They’re all here.”<br>Gold Fortune swiftly grabbed the documents and began skimming through them. His expression turned ecstatic. “Yes! Yes! These are the ones! These are the ones! With these, the factory is mine… It’s mine!”<br>He held the documents like treasures.<br>Just then, Gold Fortune suddenly stood up. “Thank you for helping me retrieve these! If an opportunity arises, I’ll repay your kindness!”<br>Xavi smiled. “No need. This is a straightforward transaction between us. As for the price of the trade…”<br>“Bang!!!”<br>“The factory is mine! My life is mine too! No one can take them from me! Thank you for retrieving these documents for me! I’ll send you off to the afterlife as my gratitude!”<br>Gold Fortune’s face twisted into a hideous smile, and in his hand was a black H&K USP45.<br>The .45 ACP rounds were enough to inflict lethal damage on a normal person’s body.<br>At this moment, such damage was evident on Xavi… A conspicuous wound was at the center of his forehead.<br>Xavi, seated, collapsed instantly as the crazed Gold Fortune turned his USP45 toward You Ye. “You die too!”<br>“Bang! Bang!!”<br>Two gunshots rang out, hitting You Ye’s chest in two places.<br>Watching You Ye collapse as well, Gold Fortune hastily stuffed the handgun into his clothes. He clutched the stack of documents and stormed out of the lounge’s wooden door.<br>Not long after Gold Fortune left…<br>Xavi, who had been lying on the ground, suddenly stood up.<br>Strangely, it seemed as though his body was being held up by some unseen force. At the same time, the wound on his forehead began to heal little by little… until it vanished entirely.<br>He opened his eyes, instinctively touching his forehead, and muttered to himself, “So that’s it… Before The sand has run out, death is impossible.”<br>He looked at You Ye, who was also lying on the ground.<br>He noticed You Ye’s arm moving slightly. Shortly afterward, she slowly stood up as well. However, the gunshot wounds on her body remained unhealed.<br>Perhaps it was due to her being a puppet.<br>“Master, do you need a refill of water?” You Ye asked softly.<br>The glass had toppled over when Xavi collapsed.<br>Xavi shook his head, reaching out to pick up the obsidian card left behind on the table by Gold Fortune.<br>“…Rule 7 of the Trading Code: Guests are strictly forbidden from taking goods without authorization.”<br>The obsidian card in his hand suddenly ignited. Under the flames of black fire, it quickly burned to ashes. ")
