At Imperial Capital Hospital, Ye Bai finally woke again.
Last time, after Steven's report, his blood pressure spiked, and he fainted.
When he woke, it was already the next day.
Even waking, Ye Bai's face was pale.
"Boss, you're finally awake." Steven helped him up anxiously.
"How's the company?"
"No problem. The lost money was quickly made up. We're debating whether to take action against Xia Shihan." Steven knew Ye Bai's thoughts well.
He wanted to take down Xia Shihan to win her group's support without bloodshed.
He previously supported this decision.
But it seemed Xia Shihan was on Lin Tai's side, perhaps even liking Lin Tai, which was why she attacked them.
"No need. Tell everyone to keep a low profile for now." Ye Bai shook his head, refusing to believe Xia Shihan liked Lin Tai, the wastrel.
"Boss, you're really letting this go?" Steven thought Ye Bai was being irrational.
"Of course not. Has the Reaper Squad returned?" Ye Bai asked.
"They're back, staying at the home hotel. Should we call them?"
"Tell them to send two to investigate why Xia Shihan attacked us. Also, send one to infiltrate Lin Tai's side to spy on Hecate."
"If we find evidence of Hecate's betrayal, kill her on the spot." Ye Bai's eyes gleamed with cruelty.
Betrayal meant no mercy.
"Got it." Steven nodded, feeling a bit sad inside.
From the start, Ye Bai had special feelings about Xia Shihan, admiring her business talent. No matter her antics, Ye Bai never decided to crush her.
And Hecate?
An old subordinate of Ye Bai, now the world's top assassin organization was stable. Hecate's role diminished, even threatening Ye Bai's position, so she could be killed anytime.
Would Ye Bai one day coldly kill him if he lost use?
Steven shuddered; Ye Bai was certain of Hecate's betrayal without sufficient proof.
"Filming starts in half a month. Send the agent in." Ye Bai's face darkened. "This is my last chance. No failure allowed!"
"Yes." Steven understood. Ye Bai's reputation in Imperial Capital was ruined.
If he didn't turn things around, he'd lose all chances.
Though Lu Ziyan released videos, she couldn't change one thing: the male protagonist of the debut film was already Ye Bai.
That was set in stone.
The agent was Zhao Gang, whom Lin Tai met in detention.
"Has the Little Princess been found?" Despite fainting, Ye Bai hadn't forgotten Little Princess Elizabeth.
"Not yet. Our people are searching and will report to the queen soon."
"How's Abraham's sister?" Ye Bai suddenly asked.
"Fine. She was admitted early to Huaqing University and will soon come to Imperial Capital." Steven had been secretly monitoring Cai Xiaoyan.
"That's good. That's for Abraham. I'm not well; take good care of her."
"Yes." Steven nodded emotionally and left the ward.
Ye Bai's lips curved slightly after Steven left. He noticed Steven's mood shift.
He admitted that besides suspecting Hecate's betrayal, his urge to kill her was mainly to solidify his absolute power.
Steven would object.
At that moment, Cai Xiaoyan began to play her part.
Pretending to care for Cai Xiaoyan, Ye Bai made others believe he cherished old ties.
Ye Bai thought himself excellent at controlling people's hearts.
He was not unfeeling but only kept ties useful to him.
If useless, he made them disappear.
Unbeknownst to him, Steven broke into cold sweat leaving the ward, glancing back at Ye Bai's room before departing.
