"I have not yet worked out the specific plan. But in front of Tian Long, do not let him learn that we have met." Yang Ce moved the foot from Sui Yuejin's face aside. "Otherwise, you can imagine the consequences for yourself."
Sui Yuejin shuddered. Against a professional killer of Heng's caliber, there was no defense to be had. In his own company, for instance, the security system was extremely tight: not only were there guards on duty at the building's entrance, but the security room also held surveillance feeds for the entire tower.
He did not know how Yang Ce had gotten up here, but if Yang Ce could get up once, he could get up a second time. Did Sui Yuejin have a choice? Under the present circumstances, only by submitting to Yang Ce could he buy his life.
The security surveillance of the Immortal Tower was in fact quite rigorous. Without Yang Moyi's abilities, it would have been all but impossible to slip safely past every camera—unless one killed the guards in the duty room and security room and forced one's way in. But Yang Cenbin had not come this time to kill; he had come to use Sui Yuejin for something.
Until it was confirmed whether the Sun family members faced a threat to their lives, Yang Ce did not dare act rashly. But Yang Shuoxuan did not mind causing Tian Long a little trouble and internal strife. Sui Yuejin was just the man to play that role. "I understand," Sui Yuejin pledged. "I know what is at stake. I will not gamble with my own life."
"I will contact you by phone." Yang Ce hauled Sui Yuejin up from the floor and dumped him into his executive chair. "Now call your security room and tell them I am about to leave your office, and that they are not to make any rash moves—otherwise I will not mind killing someone." "What?" Sui Yuejin blinked, bewildered. The men in the security room were all still alive? Which meant Yang Ce had slipped past the security room's surveillance and come up the stairs?
As the company's chairman, Sui Diejin knew the security room's monitoring system very well. It was the switching type—meaning that no matter where Yang Xu entered the building, it should have been impossible to avoid being captured by the cameras entirely. Yet the security room had shown no reaction at all, which proved that Yang Ce had done it—truly done it.
Though how he had managed it, Sui Yuejin could not guess. And Yang Ce's demand that he call the security room might be, on the one hand, to show off that shadow-like skill of his, or on the other, simply to avoid displaying it again.
Sui Yuejin obediently dialed the security room downstairs. The phone was answered on the first ring. It seemed his guess had been right—Yang Ce had not touched the security room staff on his way up. "Security room? This is Sui Yuejin!" Sui Yuejin said into the phone. "Chairman Sui, good evening! Is there anything you need?" A clear, steady male voice came from the other end. "Nothing amiss in the company, I hope?" Sui Yuejin asked, feigning casualness. "No, all is well. Rest assured, Chairman Sui!" said the guard on duty. Sui Yuejin's heart lurched. Sure enough, they had not noticed a thing about Heng's ascent.
He glanced at Yang Pu out of the corner of his eye and saw that Yang Ce was smiling at him. Clearly, Yang Shuoxuan had guessed the meaning behind his idle question.
Yang Duoran knew what Sui Yuejin was thinking, but Yang Shuoxuan did not call him out on it; he let him ask, for only so could the man fear him all the more. "In a moment, a friend of mine will be leaving. He is in my office now. Please notify the guard on duty at the entrance reception and have him open the door." Sui Yuejin instructed. "Of course, no problem, Chairman Sui!" The guard agreed without a shred of suspicion.
