Upon hearing this voice, the Grand Elder and his two companions turned their heads and then they froze in place.
"Boss, why have you come in person?"
They were indeed taken aback, for they realized that the person approaching was Shangguan Ce.
Their boss!
Hadn't he been tied up with some urgent matters elsewhere?
Shangguan Ce spoke in a cold voice, "There indeed were some matters, but they wrapped up earlier than expected."
"I didn't feel at ease, so I decided to come personally."
"Second Elder Zhang, please go outside to provide support."
"Understood."
Second Elder Zhang harbored no suspicions; after all, he hadn't detected anything amiss at the moment.
With Second Elder Zhang gone, Shangguan Ce led the Grand Elder and gold, the three of them heading toward the conference room.
Pushing open the door, they indeed saw several figures inside.
One of them was Shangguan Jie.
However, he was unable to make a sound at that moment.
