Feng Yongrui got to work immediately. First of all, he used his ghost skill to track and locate Wang Li. He took note of the places Wang Li often visited, the people Wang Li often met, and so on.
Once he had noted down several important factors, Feng Yongrui chose a good day and shapeshifted into Xiao Xiong. He left his doppelganger to go to school, while he himself went to work as Xiao Xiong.
After work, "Xiao Xiong" walked over to a bar and ordered a glass of beer. Of course, this was no ordinary bar.
Hazy red lights and yellow light bulbs illuminated the place. The smell of beer and alcohol permeated the place, and Feng Yongrui could even smell the faint scent of cigarettes.
People chattered everywhere, loud voices echoing throughout the room. Several people were already drunk, and a few began to talk loudly. Others, who were also drunk, had collapsed on the wobbly tables and fallen asleep.
Feng Yongrui sighed and put on a melancholic look on his face. He had to pretend to be upset... So he had to think of the things that annoyed him...
"Host, what is the thing that annoys you the most?" a disruptive, mechanical voice rang in his ear.
"Ah, I know. The thing that annoys me the most is... you."
System: "..."
Feng Yongrui ignored the System, who was trying to protest, and scanned his eyes through the crowd. Wang Li would definitely come soon...
Five minutes later, Wang Li really came. Feng Yongrui watched the man from the corner of his eye. Wang Li was drinking with a short, middle-aged man.
According to his observations during the previous few days, Wang Li was the Chen family's fisherman. He was in charge of finding and placing spies in rival companies, as well as doing a few other dirty things for the Chen family.
The short, middle-aged man that Wang Li was talking to must be a person from another company, a double agent.
Feng Yongrui clicked his tongue and downed his beer. He wasn't a lightweight, so this much should be okay. Feng Yongrui drank a few more glasses of wine and waited until Wang Li finished talking to the other man.
When the two finished their conversation, the man left, and Wang Li continued drinking his beer. Feng Yongrui stood up, holding a half-empty glass of beer. Time to put his acting skills to use!
"Xiao Xiong" wobbled over to Wang Li and tripped over his own foot, spilling beer unto Wang Li's shirt.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Xiao Xiong mumbled.
Wang Li's face was filled with irritation, but he covered it up and gave a polite smile.
"Sir, let me guide you to your seat," Wang Li said, his eyes holding disdain.
"Argh… It's okay… It's not your fault… It's that stupid company and that stupid Boss~" Xiao Xiong complained and leaned tried to stand up straight.
"Company?" Wang Li furrowed his brows and muttered under his breath. He narrowed his eyes and looked at "Xiao Xiong" with interest.
"Young man, what company are you from?" Wang Li asked.
"Company? What company? Bah! Don't talk about XBH… That place is so~ terrible," Xiao Xiong murmured.
Wang Li led the "drunk" young man to a nearby seat and looked at him with interest. XBH, was it? Wang Li had heard of XBH for quite some time now.
At first, everyone else, including him, did not pay much attention to XBH Company. He didn't even know it existed. Wasn't it just a small company?
But then they launched 'Destry'.
When XBH Company first announced that they were in the middle of creating an advanced computing software, the companies under the Chen family weren't too concerned.
What could a small company like that do? They wouldn't be able to cause any waves, right?
...They were gravely wrong. 'Destry' had pushed XBH into greater heights than before. If this continued...
Wang Li recalled the recent rumors he had heard. XBH Company was said to be developing an MMORPG...
Wang Li thought about Perduro, the game company under the Chen family. If this MMORPG launched by XBH Company became a hit, wouldn't XBH outshine Perduro?
It was really annoying, he thought. The employees of XBH Company hardly ever leaked out any secrets. They hardly ever gossiped, too. He had tried to sound out the company several times, but to no avail.
He didn't even know who the founder of the company was!
Wang Li looked at the drunk man in front of him.
Perhaps... befriending this person would be worthwhile... With that thought in mind, Wang Li began to try and initiate conversation with "Xiao Xiong", and of course, "Xiao Xiong" cooperated with the questioning.
After his probing, Wang Li found out that this man was named Xiao Xiong. He was an employee at XBH Company, in the PR Department, and he had been working in XBH for more than a year.
Wang Li also found out that even Xiao Xiong didn't know who the CEO or founder of the company was...
"Is it true that XBH is currently developing an MMORPG?" Wang Li finally asked the main point.
Feng Yongrui smirked inside his heart, but he continued his pretense of being drunk.
"Huh... Yeah... Isn't that why we're all having to work overtime? My pay isn't even that good. Why am I even working for them?" he grumbled.
Wang Li's eyes glinted and he leaned closer to "Xiao Xiong".
"Xiao Xiong, why don't you... work for me?" he asked.
"Xiao Xiong" looked at Wang Li with hazy eyes.
"Well... How much..." Feng Yongrui hiccuped and looked at Wang Li closely.
"How much are you going to pay me?" he asked.
Wang Li gave a deep smile. "Don't worry, I'll give you a lot. Three times more than your normal salary. What do you think?"
Feng Yongrui nodded drunkenly, and Wang Li gave a meaningful smile. His fish was caught!
Of course, Wang Li had no idea that he was the one who had been caught.

2 weeks later, Feng Yongrui sat inside his bedroom and took out Xiao Xiong's phone from the System's inventory. After his meeting with Wang Li, the latter had contacted him several times, trying to get closer.
Feng Yongrui cooperated with Wang Li -- every time Wang Li talked to him and probed him regarding XBH Company's situation, Feng Yongrui would start talking and talking.
Of course, Wang Li was pleased with "Xiao Xiong". Wang Li thought this guy was a fool, easy to manipulate, and he didn't like XBH Company anyway. It would be good to befriend him, Wang Li thought.
Several months passed and Yin Longshen would be turning 19 soon. The MMORPG, "Land of Avalon", was already halfway done. During this time, Wang Li had asked "Xiao Xiong" to tell him any secrets that he knew regarding the MMORPG that XBH was making.
While it was true that Feng Yongrui wanted to gain Wang Li's trust, he didn't want to actively sabotage Yin Longshen's hard work either. So, Feng Yongrui gave Wang Li very little and irrelevant information about the MMORPG.
Wang Li wasn't satisfied with the information Feng Yongrui had given him, but Wang Li also knew that XBH Company was good at keeping secrets.
There were many employees who didn't know about the MMORPG at all, and those who did know, wouldn't talk about it so easily.
With that thought in mind, Wang Li had to accept whatever information Feng Yongrui had given him.
Feng Yongrui had also followed Wang Li around several times in his ghost form. Feng Yongrui had watched as Wang Li contacted his spies in other companies. Feng Yongrui had also seen Wang Li's boss, Chen Wei.
While he followed Wang Li, Feng Yongrui did not stay idle. He wrote down the times when Wang Li usually went out, he recorded several of Wang Li's meetings with other company's spies, and he managed to recorded Wang Li's conversations with Chen Wei.
Feng Yongrui was gathering evidence, so that one day, when he got hurt, Yin Longshen could access these evidences and take down the Chen family.
Finally, Yin Longshen turned 19 years old, and Feng Yongrui turned 12. XBH Companny officially launched the MMORPG, "Land of Avalon". Within 3 months of its launching, it became the hottest game in the world.
XBH Company seemed to have reached the peak of its success...

Meanwhile, at the Perduro Company, Chen Wei threw down a stack of documents, the veins on his face bulging with rage.
Kneeling down in front of him was a subordinate, trembling in fear.
"B-boss..." the man stammered.
"Boss? Don't call me boss! I don't have an incompetent person like you in my company!" Chen Wei roared.
Wang Li, was was standing to the side, winced at his Boss's outburst. It was terrifying to see his Boss so angry, but this wasn't the first time this had happened. Whenever this happened, Wang Li was always afraid of losing his job.
He couldn't afford to lose his job. Especially not now, when he still owed some money after gambling... Wang Li chewed on his lips and racked his brain.
"Boss!" Wang Li suddenly shouted.
"Who asked you to open your mouth?" Chen Wei roared back.
"Boss, I suddenly remembered. There's a person that I planted in XBH Company..." Wang Li said rather timidly.
"Oh?" Chen Wei's expression finally eased a little, and a slow grin emerged on his face.
"Tell me about this person," Chen Wei said, smirking.

You meet a person who's really interested in your company... Your first reaction would be...
a) Promote your own company, because you're proud of working there.
b) This person is suspicious... is he trying to poach me?
c) Tell this person your company is no good.
