Over the next few days, Chen Haotian maintained a low profile and remained constantly vigilant. He no longer showed up in public on his own initiative and tried to avoid contact with anyone, especially distancing his interactions with Zhao Yun. The threat of Qingyun Society hung over him like a sword of Damocles, leaving him scarcely able to breathe. Yet Chen Haotian knew deep down that only by grasping the enemy's movements could he hope to turn the tide, or even snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
Over those days, Liu Feng's intelligence network also made some breakthroughs. Through some of his covert channels, Chen Haotian learned that Qingyun Society was indeed secretly plotting a transnational acquisition case, involving not just Tianxiao Group, but also certain resources closely tied to major global markets. Hidden behind this acquisition were enormous risks and profits. Qingyun Society clearly intended to use this transaction to radically expand its sphere of influence and even intervene in global capital markets.
However, as Liu Feng had said, Qingyun Society's plan was extremely cautious and secretive, and finding an entry point within it was no easy task. The society relied not merely on violent means to expand its influence, but was even more adept at capital manipulation and commercial control. Every step they took was meticulous, as if they had already foreseen every possible risk.
