Chapter 21

After hanging up the phone, Chen Haotian sat back down at his desk and gazed at the city lights outside the window. Traffic flowed ceaselessly on the streets, neon lights flickered, and the hustle and bustle intertwined with a quiet stillness. Yet to him, these sights felt as though they were separated by a thick pane of glass, growing increasingly unfamiliar. Though his cooperation with Tu Ling was established, the complexity of this deal far exceeded his imagination. Huo Yu, a high-ranking figure in Qingyun Society who controlled massive cash flows, held immense sway within the organization. If he could obtain crucial data from him, it might genuinely carve out a path for his own escape. However, Tu Ling's demand was not merely for him to approach Huo Yu; she wanted important financial data from Huo Yu, potentially involving the entire financial network of Qingyun Society. If he failed, the retaliation from Qingyun Society would be fatal. If he succeeded, he might completely tear away the facade of Qingyun Society and expose the Dark Forces behind it.
