Chapter 4 Secret Help

1120 Words
Under the night, the lights of the Kalin Manor were brilliant, but they could not hide the tense atmosphere in the air. A grand charity dinner was about to be held here, and the competition between the Kalin family and its rivals had entered a white-hot stage. Ye Dean stood in front of the window of the study, his eyes passing through the layers of tree shadows and falling on the brightly lit banquet hall in the distance. This dinner was not only a social occasion, but also a battlefield without gunpowder. The rival of the Kalin family, the business tycoon who kept making trouble in secret, will also be present tonight. Ye Dean took a deep breath. He had to deal with it carefully and not let any details ruin the Kalin family's plan. "Ye, do you really think there will be a turnaround tonight?" Ellie's voice came from behind, with a hint of anxiety. Ye Dean turned around and looked at the beautiful and strong woman in front of him. She looked a little tired in her eyes. He smiled slightly and said firmly: "Aili, sometimes, the turning point is hidden in the most unlikely place." Suddenly, Ali's eyes met his, she seemed to be looking for something, and finally, she nodded: "I believe you." The dinner began, and celebrities gathered, and they were dressed in fine clothes. Dean Ye and Ali walked into the banquet hall side by side, and their appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention. Ali was wearing a silver evening dress, elegant and noble, while Dean Ye was wearing a dark suit, graceful and gentlemanly. They were like a perfect couple, and people couldn't look away. However, Dean Ye's mind was not at the banquet. His eyes wandered among the crowd, looking for the potential enemy. He knew that person must be in a corner, observing every move of the Kalin family. At this moment, a middle-aged man came towards them, with a hint of provocation in his eyes: "Aili, long time no see, you are so radiant tonight." Aili smiled slightly and responded politely: "Thank you, Mr. William." Ye Dean immediately realized that this Mr. William was their opponent. His eyes were sharp, as if he was looking for some opportunities. "I heard that the Carlin family has encountered some minor problems recently. I wonder if it is true?" Mr. William's words were a little sarcastic. Aili's face changed slightly, but soon regained her composure: "Mr. William, we will handle the affairs of the Carlin family ourselves." Mr. William smiled and turned away, but at the moment of turning around, his eyes met with Ye Dean, which was a provocation and warning. Ye Dean's heart was filled with anger, but he knew that this was not the time to be impulsive. He had to stay calm. At this moment, the most important thing should be to find a way to solve the problem first. The dinner continued, and Ye Dean and Ai Li shuttled through the crowd and talked with celebrities from all walks of life. Ye Dean kept smiling, but his mind was turning rapidly, looking for opportunities. Just then, he noticed a detail. Mr. William's assistant was talking in a low voice with a waiter, and then hurried away. Ye Dean's intuition told him that they were definitely not simply communicating. Then he found an excuse, left Ellie's side, and followed quietly. He walked through the corridor and came to a remote room. Through the c***k in the door, he saw Mr. William's assistant was talking to a stranger, and they exchanged a small USB flash drive in their hands. Ye Dean's heartbeat accelerated, and he knew that this USB flash drive must have what they needed. He took a deep breath and prepared to act. Just then, his mobile phone vibrated. It was a message from Ellie: "Yes, I found something wrong, come quickly." Ye Dean's brows were furrowed, and he had to make a choice quickly. In the end, he decided to believe Ellie, and he quietly left the room and returned to the banquet hall. Ellie was waiting for him in the corner, her face a little pale: "Yes, I suspect Mr. William has planted a spy at the banquet." Ye Dean nodded: "I also found some clues, we need to act immediately." They quickly made a plan and acted separately. Ellie was responsible for stabilizing Mr. William, while Ye Dean was responsible for finding the spy. Time passed minute by minute, and Ye Dean's eyes searched in the crowd, and finally, he locked a waiter. The waiter's eyes were evasive, and his movements were stiff, obviously not professional. Ye Dean walked to the waiter and said with a smile: "Sir, I need your help." The waiter was stunned, and then regained his composure: "Sir, how can I help you?" Ye Dean did not answer, but suddenly grabbed his hand and took out the USB flash drive from his pocket. The waiter's face changed drastically, and he turned around and wanted to run away. But Ye Dean's reaction and movement were faster. He grabbed the waiter's arm and immediately pressed him against the wall. "Tell me, what's in this USB drive?" Ye Dean's voice was low and powerful. The waiter struggled for a few times and finally gave up resistance: "This is some internal information about the Kalin family. Mr. William wants to use it..." "For what?" A cold light flashed in Ye Dean's eyes. "To... to destroy the reputation of the Kalin family." The waiter's voice became smaller and smaller. A surge of anger surged in Ye Dean's heart. He knew that Mr. William's ambition was far greater than they imagined. He must take action immediately to stop this conspiracy. He handed the USB drive to Ellie, who was surprised: "Yes, how did you get it?" "Now is not the time to explain, we need to act now." Ye Dean's voice was anxious. Ellie nodded quickly, and she immediately summoned the senior members of the family and told them about the situation. The senior members of the family also took immediate action to prevent the crisis. After dinner, Ellie and Ye Dean stood on the terrace of the manor, looking at the stars in the night sky. "Ye, you saved the Karin family." There was a hint of gratitude in Ellie's voice. Ye Dean shook his head: It's okay! "I just did what I should do. This is my responsibility as a son-in-law." Ellie looked at him with a complex light in her eyes: "Yes, you are really a very special person." Ye Dean smiled slightly. He knew that the relationship between him and Ellie was quietly changing.
