The so-called Cai Assistant was none other than Cai Si, who had betrayed Liu Su and switched his allegiance to Liu Yun. Eighth Zero E-Book (txt02.com) Initially, when he and Liu Yun went to the Bai He Gate, they were each placed in separate rooms. After Liu Yun's death, Cai Si endured intense threats, swearing never to reveal anything about the Bai He Gate, only then regaining his freedom. Once free, he regained composure and made his way all the way to Zhongyuan Province in Central China, where he coincidentally encountered Qin Group's recruitment drive. Leveraging his overseas education and experience working within a large corporation, he successfully passed through multiple interviews and became an assistant to the manager of the Commerce Department. The Commerce Department was one of the most critical divisions within the Qin Group, and the manager's office was located on the highest floor, thus providing Cai Si with frequent opportunities to enter the department. Watching the proud back of Liu’s secretary, he thought to himself: another girl with dreams of marrying a golden dragon—how utterly unrealistic she was. How could she possibly catch Qin Feng’s eye? Though he resented Qin Feng, he resented these girls even more—those who failed to appreciate him. Miu Su had been the first, and now Liu’s secretary was the second. As a newcomer, Cai Si hadn’t been foolish enough to believe he had the credentials to woo Mei Hui or Fang Fang. Yet here he was, targeting another newcomer, only to find that she simply didn’t care for him at all. You’re a sea-returnee, true, and you have solid work abilities—but there are so many people like you at Qin Group. What truly matters is money. And that, quite frankly, remains Cai Si’s weakness. After Liu’s secretary had gone, he glanced toward the president’s office, gritted his teeth, and murmured softly, “Qin Feng, I never thought you’d arrive so soon. I’m determined to avenge the humiliation of the Master!” Then he turned and walked away. After chatting with the three women for a while and enjoying their tofu, Qin Shao decided to head over to the Special Operations Unit to report to the leadership team about the outcomes of his European trip. As soon as he stepped out of the office, he sensed a growing sense of danger approaching. Being alert, he immediately said, "Huihui, you don't need to escort us anymore—go ahead and get busy with your own matters!" The three women, all intelligent and perceptive, quickly understood that Qin Feng's sudden politeness carried a specific meaning. Mei Hui nodded and said, "Fangfang, Manman, let's follow Xiao Feng!" The three women retreated together, and Qin Shao's keen eyes began scanning the surroundings. He sensed the danger was very close—likely originating from an object, not a person. Finally, his gaze settled on the trash can along the corridor wall. The trash can was elegantly designed, and he noticed a faint, intermittent red glow. If his intuition was correct, there must have been a bomb inside. He smiled, then walked over. In one of the offices on the side, Chai held a remote control, his eyes fixed on the monitor. As Qin Feng approached within ten meters, Chai could trigger the explosion. When they first arrived at Bai He Gate, Chai had not clearly understood what a cultivator was, nor did he know that Qin Feng was one—these details were originally meant to be shared with him by Liu Yun, but she had passed away too early. Thus, Chai believed that a single bomb would be sufficient to deal with Qin Feng. As for why he had chosen to act this way, it wasn't simply because he had developed feelings for Liu Yun through their romantic relationship; rather, it was part of a much larger scheme. Liu Yun's death had a direct connection to both Liu Su and Qin Feng—people he knew personally. Liu Su had indeed ascended to the position of headmaster, but that didn't necessarily mean her followers were convinced. Perhaps they had only yielded under her overwhelming influence. He felt that as long as Qin Feng was eliminated, in a certain sense, he would have avenged Liu Yun's cause. The people who had never been loyal to Liu Su would all rise up, and he would then have the opportunity to lead them in continuing the struggle against Liu Su. He wanted to achieve what he desired through this means. During his time serving under Liu Su, he had been in charge of the commercial group and fully understood the strength of Tian Li Church in the business sector. Even if he only secured one-tenth of it, he would become a true billionaire. After discovering that Qin Feng was the chairman of Qin Group, he decided to join as an employee and look for an opportunity to strike. Yet he hadn't anticipated that the opportunity would come so swiftly. The explosive was purchased on the black market, packed with one kilogram of high-grade TNT, capable of causing lethal damage up to ten meters away. Anyone entering that zone would rarely survive the blast. His hands were trembling—after all, it was his first murder. He quickly took several deep breaths to calm his racing heart. Twenty meters, fifteen meters—Qin Feng was still approaching the trash can. Ten meters, eight meters, five meters… To be safe, he told himself he must stay composed and didn’t trigger the bomb the moment Qin Feng entered the ten-meter range. Instead, he waited until he was even closer, then pressed the button firmly. At the same time, he closed his eyes, waiting for the sound of explosion. But the expected sound didn’t come. He quickly opened his eyes and looked at the monitor, and was so startled that he nearly fell off his chair. On screen, Qin Feng’s smiling face was clearly visible. Qin Feng was holding the bomb and smiling gently at the camera above. Exposed, that was what came to Cai’s mind. Why hadn’t the bomb exploded? Back then, the team had been absolutely certain—claiming even if it were submerged in water, it would still detonate. He had no idea that Qin Shao had employed a signal blocker—the bomb simply couldn’t receive any signals, let alone go off. Cai Si quickly tucked the remote control into the drawer, then sat down and took several deep breaths. But soon he felt uneasy again, since Qin Feng had seen him, and the earlier smile directly into the camera had revealed subtle clues. He couldn’t stay here any longer. With a hurried motion, he stood up and rushed straight toward the door. He believed only by leaving immediately could he ensure his safety. As soon as he pulled the door open and was about to step through, he spotted Qin Feng standing outside. When Qin the Young first saw him, he was surprised—was it really this young man? Yet he didn’t show any surprise on his face, instead speaking calmly, “Ah, it’s you. If I’m not mistaken, your name is Cai Si, and you used to work under Su Su, correct?” Cai Si stepped back several times, until he bumped into the writing desk. "Back then, I didn't get rid of you—what a major oversight," Qin Feng said, watching him tremble in fear. "If it weren't for your whistleblowing, how could Liu Yun have escaped from the fourth division? If you'd just stayed quiet and lived a peaceful life, I'd have completely forgotten about you. I never thought you'd be so restless, so eager to make a stand. If you're truly choosing to go out on your own, then what's there to be polite about?" Cai Si quickly knelt down, pleading, "Qin Director, I'm truly sorry. Please, forgive me."
