The Master Descends the Mountain: My Destined CEO

What should I do?

The first step is to have our people abroad keep an eye on them.

Then, I'll make some trouble for the Angel Association. That way, they won't have the luxury of focusing on biological bombs.

Frankly, they just have too much free time.

Xiao Ye turned around. "Let's go. We're heading back."

"Okay." Zhu Chen immediately fell in behind him.

The longer he spent by Xiao Ye's side, the more he came to understand his capabilities. This was a man you could absolutely never cross.

Thus, not even the slightest hint of betrayal had ever crossed Zhu Chen's mind. He simply wouldn't dare.

The two of them took a plane together and returned to Capital City.

Xiao Ye had just returned to the Xiao Family estate. Before he could even deal with his work, an unexpected visitor arrived.

"General He, what are you doing here?"

General He's identity was sensitive. He always met with Xiao Ye elsewhere and would never personally come to the Xiao Family estate.

If someone with ulterior motives were to find out, it would cause a great deal of trouble.

"Don't worry. You saw that I came disguised. Besides, I handled everything before I arrived."

"There are some things I must tell you here."

The Xiao Family estate was Xiao Ye's territory—absolutely secure.

Back when Lin Chuxing was in the picture, he might have used their schemes against them and let people sneak in.

But now, Xiao Ye had already cleaned house. Something like that would never happen again.

Xiao Ye's gaze fell on General He's abdomen. "You're injured!"

"So you noticed." General He gave a bitter smile. "It's precisely because of this that I could only come here to see you."

"I can no longer be sure if any of our old meeting spots are secure."

"I was ambushed at one of them. But I have something important to tell you, so I had to make the trip."

"I trust you understand why this was necessary."

Xiao Ye personally examined General He's wound.

"The person who treated you did a good job. It's nothing too serious. But, General He, you are getting on in years. You shouldn't be running around with an injury this severe."

"I don't think I'm that old." General He clearly didn't like hearing that. "Let's get straight to business."

He took a black cube from his pocket.

It was pure black, with no visible seams.

"What is this?"

"It's a USB drive, but not an ordinary one. It's a classified-level device. It can't be opened without a special method."

General He placed the cube on the table. "Stored inside this thing are the control codes for the H1 bomb."

"We need to deliver this to a designated location. Originally, I was supposed to do it."

"But not only was I attacked, the fact that something like this happened means there must be a traitor by my side."

"So you're the only one I can turn to. This is extremely important. Please, you must deliver it!"

"In the process, you will likely face many dangers. You have the right to refuse."

Xiao Ye picked up the cube. It was cool to the touch. A rather interesting little gadget.

"Where does it need to go?"

"To Country N. It's a large nation in West Africa."

The term "large nation" referred only to its landmass. In reality, it was not powerful.

The H1 bomb itself was a gift from Dragon Country.

To prevent any issues among the group who received it, the activation key was kept behind.

But while this prevented problems, it required a second trip.

General He had originally planned to take it with him on his next official trip, but then he got injured.

The appearance of a traitor was no small matter. It was imperative to find and eliminate them quickly, otherwise, his life would be in danger!

Xiao Ye weighed the cube in his hand a couple of times. "Alright, I'll deliver it for you."

General He finally broke into a smile. "Thank you."

"You're welcome. It's my duty." 'And as it happens, I have some free time.'

'Besides, I have an old friend in Country N.'

'To be precise, he was once my master's friend.'

'But after he came to Wuliang Mountain, he became my friend.'

'I haven't seen him in so many years. I wonder how he's doing.'

With the matter settled, General He let out a sigh of relief. "It's wonderful that you agreed."

"In that case, I won't disturb you any longer."

As he spoke, he stood up. The movement pulled at his wound and his expression changed for an instant, but he quickly recovered.

As expected of a man forged in the crucible of war, his tolerance for pain was far greater than an ordinary person's.

"I'll see you out, General He. Go back and get some proper rest, or you might end up with a chronic injury." Xiao Ye handed him a piece of paper. "This is a prescription for you."

"Just take the medicine as prescribed and rest for a week, and there won't be any issues."

General He accepted it with great solemnity. "This is a prescription from the top physician's apprentice. I must keep it safe."

"Even if I don't use it, soldiers with similar injuries can."

After seeing General He off, Xiao Ye looked at the cube in his hand again.

'I still have to deal with some Xiao Family matters today. Leaving tomorrow will be fine.'

The next day, when Zhu Chen learned that Xiao Ye was leaving, he personally saw him off at the airport. "Are you sure you don't need me to go with you?"

"No need." Xiao Ye was dressed in casual clothes and sunglasses.

The weather in West Africa was scorching, so he was only wearing casual pants and a short-sleeved shirt, giving him a cool and handsome look.

"General He said I'll definitely run into a lot of danger on this trip."

"If you come with me, I'll have to look out for you, and you might slow me down."

Zhu Chen let out a light laugh. "You have a point. It seems I really need to work on improving myself."

"In one year, at most, I promise you'll see a whole new me."

'If I want to keep following Xiao Ye, my skills have to get much better.'

"Alright, then I'll be waiting to see it."

With that, Xiao Ye boarded the plane.

Zhu Chen stayed at the airport until he watched the plane take off. Only then did he turn to leave. "I will show you."

Starting tomorrow, he would begin his closed-door training.

To achieve better results, he even sought out people from the Fifth Clan for special training.

They were a Martial Arts family with a legacy passed down through generations; they could certainly help him reach the next level.

「More than ten hours later.」

The plane finally landed in West Africa.

This was a continent that was, on the whole, very underdeveloped.

So even the airport in Country N's capital still looked very old and worn.

The moment he stepped off the plane, a wave of heat hit him.

Everyone he saw was black, which made Xiao Ye the odd one out.

He casually walked out of the airport and went directly to rent a car.

Just as he was about to start it, a man suddenly hurried over.

When the man was just a step away from Xiao Ye, the cold gleam of a dagger flashed as he lunged forward with a fierce stab!

'Attacking in broad daylight? He's got some nerve!'

Xiao Ye dodged with a quick sidestep, driving his knee heavily into the man's chest.
