Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

Chapter 583 Zhou Yichen, you're just an ordinary person!

Gao Ziyou was confident of victory, but he was unaware that Zhou Yichen and his group already knew everything and had begun to set up a trap.

Moreover, they had no interest in dealing with someone acting erratically, and without even lifting their eyelids, they coldly told the person to leave, "You can leave now."

Gao Ziyou frowned, looking at Zhou Yichen with puzzlement. He always valued the interests of the country highly, yet he was indifferent to a suspicious person.

After years of no contact, Zhou Yichen completely abandoned his loyalty and principles.

Gao Ziyou shook his head to himself. Although he didn't want to flatter Zhou Yichen, he still didn't believe that the man had changed.

"Don't want to contact me? That won't work. Xi Congliang's body has already been sent to the Public Security Bureau. Your Special Branch has been in Ning City for so long. Whether you want to handle cases involving spies or not, they will eventually fall on your shoulders."

Gao Ziyou put away his displeasure and became more and more smug as he spoke, "When that time comes, if you want to talk to me again, I'll be the one kicking you out!"

So you'd better speak properly to me now!

He spoke with an air of "once this opportunity is gone, it's gone forever," and even made himself sound so confident.

Zhou Yichen held onto the door tightly, frowning as he looked at Gao Ziyou. "Are you trying to teach me how to do things? The Special Branch has its own rules and procedures. If you keep making trouble, I'll arrest you for obstructing official business!"

Standing behind him, Chu Xin poked her head out from over his shoulder and added insult to injury, "We'll try to keep you locked up for a few more years, preferably until Gao Ziyang comes back from his rural assignment and is thriving in the Gao family again. Then you can be evenly matched and fight to the death, okay?"

Gao Ziyou couldn't hold back and took two steps forward, shouting, "Don't push your luck!"

Zhou Yichen pushed him out, his sharp gaze piercing him like a knife. "Not leaving? I will absolutely keep my word!"

A more blatant threat.

Gao Ziyou's neck stiffened with rage, knowing that Zhou Yichen was no longer the person he knew, and that he might actually be using his position for personal gain.

"Fine, fine, I'll wait and see if you ever have to beg me!"

After saying that, he stormed off in a huff.

With such a clueless attitude, you'll fall for a woman sooner or later. Zhou Yichen, you're just an ordinary person!

"Won't this cause you trouble? After all, the Gao family has considerable influence in Ning City."

He only spoke slowly after Su Zihang and the others had disappeared from sight.

Zhou Yichen closed the door and shook his head nonchalantly, "It's alright. The Gao family is not what it used to be. Now they probably hope that Gao Ziyou can keep a low profile."

The Gao family's affairs are work-related matters, and no one other than the relevant personnel should know about them.

Su Zihang nodded thoughtfully, knowing that it involved classified information and could not be disclosed, so he did not ask any further questions.

The four of them chatted for a while longer. Su Zihang sighed when he learned that Yang Zheng had only been gone for a short time, but fortunately Zhou Yichen had been keeping in touch with him and would be coming over as early as the day after tomorrow.

"Then Ah Zhi and I should stay at the guesthouse. It's not safe with so many people coming and going."

As he spoke, he looked at Ge Shaoting and asked, "When are you leaving? It might be a long time before Azhi can return."

Ge Shaoting considered his own situation. He had made this special trip with the selfish motive of wanting to take advantage of Chu Xin and Zhou Yichen, but it seemed that none of them could leave this place for the time being.

So he said, "Then I'll go first. But you'll have to take care of my safety along the way. I've come all the way from the port city, so you must do your best to be my hosts."

Chu Xin readily agreed, "Of course!"

Back in Hong Kong, they had troubled Ge Shaoting quite a bit, so his request now is perfectly reasonable.

Zhou Yichen then agreed. He had done everything he could. He could only blame the people that Old Ge had arranged for him. He wouldn't say he would go to great lengths for Ge Shaoting, but he couldn't cause trouble for him when the other party had made a clear request.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to protect you along the way. Get ready to leave as soon as possible."

Ge Shaoting was now completely at ease, and his trip to mainland China was about to officially begin.

------

Gao Ziyou's residence.

Despite the quiet of the night, this area was unusually lively.

"Bang bang—"

"Clap-"

"Click——"

Amidst the sounds of things being smashed, Gao Ziyou's furious shouts and curses were incessant.

"You're all going against me, aren't you? You don't respect me at all, do you? Just you wait, I'll give you all a big shock!"

The henchman stood amidst the mess of broken objects, his cold gaze fixed on Gao Ziyou, who was still roaring and venting his anger.

At this time, he was ruthless and could easily hurt people, so no one else dared to come in and they all found a place to squat outside the room.

While Gao Ziyou was panting and standing still with his hands on his hips, the henchman spoke up.

"Brother, you're not going to cause any trouble by smashing things like this. I think the people over there are determined not to care. Why don't we just let it go and not pursue it further?"

After all, if we actually managed to get Yu Jing out, wouldn't we be falling into their trap and getting ourselves suspected of being spies? Brother, think of it the other way around; Zhou actually saved you, didn't he?"

These words sounded like advice to Gao Ziyou, but they were actually puncturing his lungs.

"Nonsense, I don't need his help. We're all just getting what we need, so what right does he have to say he'll save me? I'm the one who's doing him a huge favor!"

"If I hadn't personally sought him out for cooperation despite past grievances, would he have made such a significant discovery in Ning City?"

The more he talked, the more indignant he became. He kicked the henchman leader, who had a fawning smile on his face, and said, "Sun Gaohui, tell me, what's wrong with me compared to him? Why does he always have to be one step ahead of me!"

Kicked and staggered, the henchman leader Sun Gaohui quickly regained his balance and became even more obsequious, yet every word he uttered carried a hidden meaning.

"Uh... Brother, please don't be angry when I tell you this. I'm not very knowledgeable, and I may not see things clearly enough or understand our old man's thoughts."

However, in my heart, you and that Zhou fellow are absolutely equally talented, it's just that..."

Gao Ziyou took it to heart and slightly raised his eyelids. "But what?"

Sun Gaohui shook his head, seemingly hesitant to continue, until Gao Ziyou lost his patience and shouted, forcing him to speak. He then whispered, "It's just that the level of cultivation within the family is different. Brother, you see, our Gao family has many descendants, and you have a father and stepmother like that. The old man usually dotes on you, but he really hasn't pushed you to a higher position."

Look at Zhou Yichen. I heard that he is the only son in his family, just like you. Although he has cousins, his elders value his upbringing, and his parents are also wholeheartedly supporting him.

So, brother, don't underestimate yourself. It's not that you're not good enough; it's that your family doesn't value you enough and their biases are what cause you to feel unappreciated.

A set of "consolations" that completely disregarded facts and focused solely on results only fueled Gao Ziyou's anger.
