Dong Muyun is summoned by Su Ping and meets the Spirit Saint Wu Kuang. Wu Kuang reveals they are part of the Silver Order Department, investigating companies involved with the overseas organization Heart of Gold, also known domestically as the Golden Association. Dong Muyun confirms her company, Pingyun, has no ties to the organization and pledges her secrecy, unaware of her earlier phone call's implications for their plans.

"No! At any time, a mature enterprise group will not immediately fall into paralysis and breakdown due to the lack of someone. Such a company probably won’t catch the eye of the Golden Association.

And these aren’t things I need to consider! Initially, I thought about using some tricks to capture a few advanced level personnel; well now..."

After a pause, Wu Kuang continued:

"Miss Dong, are you willing to contact this Golden Association?"

"This..."

Although Wu Kuang spoke quite tactfully, it was apparent that the meaning behind his words was quite clear, which was to have Dong Muyun and Pingyun Company go undercover!

This kind of task is always associated with great danger.

Dong Muyun naturally was unwilling.

Su Ping also pondered and said: "Senior, isn’t this too dangerous? Moreover, if this Heart of Gold really has some unspeakable secrets, won’t Pingyun suffer unwarranted disaster then?"

His opinion, even Wu Kuang had to consider it seriously.

Wu Kuang thought for a moment and said:

"The main purpose of the Silver Order Department, besides eliminating enterprises that have joined Heart of Gold, is also to investigate what the Heart of Gold’s true intentions are.

Of course, Miss Dong joining will definitely not send her across the ocean to Eagle Country to partake in the Heart of Gold’s initiation ceremony, but we still lack understanding of the Golden Association’s internals.

While Soul Search is ultimately a last resort, we cannot exclude the possibility that some core members in our Dragon Nation may have already guarded against it. So, if possible, having trustworthy persons join could achieve better results.

Once completed or if there are additional gains, I’ll report to Holy Dragon, mentioning Miss Dong’s contribution and achievements in this action."

This promise was more effective than anything else.

It might even allow the Dong Family to break free from previous constraints and find new opportunities for growth.

In Dragon Nation, that person’s orders are as effective as an Imperial Sword!

However, the cost of such an action is indeed not something an ordinary person can anticipate.

Thus, Su Ping still said:

"The danger is better left aside! Regarding Soul Search, if senior Mad Saint feels it’s unsafe, I can talk to Leng Ye and ask for his help."

Leng Ye is an Undead, an expert in soul matters, and has unique insights into Soul Search.

Wu Kuang continued:

"There will definitely be some danger, but with me here, there’s no need to worry too much. I’ll provide you with protective mechanical devices you can deploy freely. Additionally, if you face something like the Judgment Mirror,

a means to detect lies and truths, I’ll also provide some countermeasures! Ensuring you are least affected! Moreover, your identity will be kept confidential; apart from the three of us, no one will know.

And, very few know of my arrival in Jianghai, no one can trace it back!"

He didn’t pay attention to Su Ping but continued looking at Dong Muyun.

Dong Muyun’s brow furrowed slightly, falling into a dilemma.

It was evident that Su Ping, knowing Dong Muyun for so long, could tell that this woman was truly tempted.

Then Wu Kuang added the final straw to the bargaining chip:

"Also, when the time comes, Jianghai, and even the whole Dragon Nation, when splitting up all enterprises that have joined Heart of Gold in the future, Pingyun Company will have the priority right to acquire them. For certain special gains, there will also be a priority purchasing right. How does that sound?"

This caused Dong Muyun’s eyes to light up.

She owns forty percent of Pingyun’s shares, even more than her shares in Tianyun Group back then.

Moreover, although she isn’t the major shareholder of Pingyun, in reality, Su Ping is practically a hands-off manager.

The vast Pingyun is still under Dong Muyun’s leadership for management and operation.

Compared to Tianyun Group, she has invested even more care into Pingyun.

Now, with these conditions, to Dong Muyun, who is extremely interested in this aspect, she quickly made up her mind:

"Alright!"

Su Ping said nothing.

Despite the fact that even without Wu Kuang’s promises, he estimated these conditions would come to him anyway.

But having this layer of connection undoubtedly makes things much more convenient.

It’s also justified.

However, the one thing that surprised Su Ping was...

After a pause, Wu Kuang looked at Su Ping:

"In that case, Su Ping, you no longer need to take action! Once the situation is investigated and it’s time to make a move, you can stay home and verify it. As for the rest, Miss Dong and I will execute it."

Su Ping blinked; he was initially expecting they’d march to Fire King Company soon.

But it turns out it’s not his affair?

However, who’s going to give me the money I lack?

Su Ping looked at Wu Kuang:

"Senior, how long do you estimate it’ll take to see results? I’m waiting for your triumphant return!"

Wu Kuang thought for a moment:

"It shouldn’t take too long. Pingyun Company’s momentum is very strong. Judging by how things are going, the Golden Association must be very focused too, and the Golden Association hasn’t realized that Dragon Nation is ready to act against them.

So once Miss Dong represents Pingyun to decide on joining the Golden Association, she will quickly be accepted into the inner circle. Once we figure out why Heart of Gold operates in such a manner, we can make a move!
