128. What's Plan B?
Aria, not caring what her next words might cause or where her boldness would lead, wasted no time before firing back at Aisha.“You heard what I said, am I right? But if you want to act dumb like you didn’t hear or understand me, I’ll repeat the question again!” Her eyes sharpened as she leaned forward. “Who is the unknown CEO of ABC Companies? And if you’re saying you can’t tell me who the unknown CEO is… then I’m giving you an order, as the representative CEO of this company— get me the signature I requested for.”Hearing not just Aria’s words but the confidence packed into her tone, Aisha let out a small scoff.“What if I don’t get it?” she shot back. “What if I don’t tell you who the CEO of ABC Company is, and what if I don’t bring his signature? What are you going to do? Fire me from my position? Or what?!”Aria said nothing.Silence stepped in between the two women and grew heavier by the second. Just looking at Aria, anyone could see the anger simmering beneath her calm face. A
129. The Plan B
Immediately Aria stepped out of the office, she headed straight to her car, her heels clicking sharply against the floor. She didn’t waste a second. If she couldn’t get the signature she needed, then she would carry on with Plan B — the plan that came to her the moment Aisha rejected her proposal.Settling into her car seat, she took a quiet breath and dialed a number. The line connected almost instantly.“Hello!” she said.“Hello, Miss Acosta…” the voice from the other end replied.“I need your security assistance during my party,” she said firmly, jumping straight into business.The man on the phone — Marvin — was one of the best agents in the security structure. His company was known for screening guests at high-profile events, identifying those who were invited and filtering out anyone who wasn’t. That was exactly why Aria had called him.From the other end, Marvin asked politely, “What help do you need, ma’am?”“Yes!” Aria responded without hesitation. “I need your service at my
130. A Set Up?
These past few days hadn’t been easy on anyone — not even on Tyler. The pressure on him tightened by the minute, and the weight he carried was beginning to show. What troubled him the most was the question of who would handle the urgent things he needed done. The only person he trusted with that responsibility was lying unconscious, fighting for his life.He needed someone else. A replacement.But how could anyone replace Lu Chen?Lu Chen wasn’t just another assistant or partner — he was the only person Tyler trusted completely and comfortably. No one else had ever stepped into that role, and no one had ever matched the precision, loyalty, and calm efficiency Lu Chen brought.Aisha might have been the perfect fit, but she was already handling critical matters at ABC. Pulling her out wasn’t even an option. So the question hit Tyler again and again, slamming against his mind:Who would take Lu Chen’s place?That thought alone made Tyler tense, almost choking on his own breath as his pho
131. How?!
That troubling thought was still settling in Tyler’s mind when another voice cut through the air.“Have him brought down. He is a suspected criminal…”The tone hit him like a slap. It was too familiar. Even though he had been trying to maintain his composure, his body betrayed him. He slowly turned to the left.Diego stood there.Tyler’s heartbeat kicked up immediately, pounding against his chest.What is Diego doing here? Could it be that he was the one who set me up? Was he the person that made that phone call?The questions rushed through his head so fast they almost drowned the moment.“Come on, I said take him down!” Diego barked. “He is a criminal and he is here to cause nuisance!”The men pointing guns at Tyler tightened their grips, clearly waiting for the slightest order to drag him to the ground. Tyler held his breath, bracing himself—until another voice sliced in sharply.“No, that’s NOT necessary, Lieutenant Carson!”This voice, too, was familiar.Relief washed over Tyler
132. The Confrontation
Diego stepped closer, jaw tightening. “Tony… tell me you’re joking. Tell me you didn’t mean what you just said. Because there is no universe where Mr. Chen chooses Tyler over me.”Tony didn’t flinch. “It’s the truth, Diego.”Diego let out a sharp laugh, the kind that carried more anger than humor. “Of all people… Tyler? That useless boy?” He pointed straight at Tyler. “Look at him. Just standing there like he didn’t wreck things for us already.”Tony’s voice stayed calm. “Your hatred for him is clouding your sense.”“Hate?” Diego scoffed, leaning forward. “Hate is too small. I cannot stand the sight of him. From the first day he walked into ABC, I knew he was trouble. The type that drags others into his messy life.”Tyler shifted slightly, but Diego’s eyes snapped to him immediately.“Don’t move,” Diego barked. “You think I’m scared of you? One more step, just one, and I’ll—”Tony stepped in between them. “Diego. Stop it.”Diego’s nostrils flared. “Why are you defending him? For what?
133. Hinting On What?!
Hearing what Tony had said, Diego’s anger settled almost instantly. He knew nothing good would come out of fighting with Tyler here, not now. So instead of dragging the tension any further, he simply pointed at Tyler, jaw tight and voice sharp.“It is not over, you son of a bitch. I know you have deadly plans against Lu Chen. I haven’t proved it yet, but I know it’s true. And trust me… you won’t get that thing you’re looking for.”Tyler stared back at him. From Diego’s tone, his posture, even the way he breathed, it was obvious he had been waiting for any chance to fight. The hatred was too clear. Tyler had known it for a long time. Every negotiation, every argument, every attempt Diego made to oppose him always came from that place of grudges.But Tyler wasn’t interested in a fight. So while Diego raged, he simply waited, letting Diego burn out his anger. And by the time he finally chose to speak, his decision was already firm.He met Diego’s eyes and said, “I already told you, didn’
134. Not Easy As Being Said!
Tyler ignored the taunt tossed at him in full view. He simply walked away, leaving Diego alone with his unsettling thoughts—thoughts that only intensified as he wondered what kind of relationship truly existed between Tyler and Lu Chen.Turning his back on Diego, Tyler faced Tony and said quietly,“I want to leave. Let’s go.”Tony nodded. “Alright. I will take the lead.”With that, the two walked out.Almost immediately after leaving, they found themselves entering the ward where Lu Chen had been admitted. The moment they stepped inside, Lu Chen’s eyes opened and locked onto Tyler. And just as quickly, Tyler’s expression softened. Relief washed over him at the sight of Lu Chen finally awake.In that brief moment their gazes met, a spark of happiness flickered in Tyler’s eyes. He felt an urge to rush forward—to embrace him, to say something—anything. But Tony’s presence held him down. He knew that if he reacted too strongly, Tony might begin forming the same suspicions Diego already se
135. Diego?!
Lu Chen stared at Tyler, clearly stunned by what he had just heard.What Tyler was saying didn’t add up—not in the way he thought it would. Confusion twisted across his face, and he finally voiced the question that had been weighing on him.“What do you mean the thing is not as easy as I think? Is there anything bigger than what is currently going on that you need me to be aware of?”Tyler let out a slow breath and rubbed his hand over his head, as though trying to gather his thoughts. It was obvious to him that Lu Chen wasn’t catching on, not in the slightest. The look on Lu Chen’s face made it clear—he was completely oblivious to everything that had been happening… and had even happened before.“You don’t seem to be understanding anything, Lu Chen,” Tyler said, his tone heavy with frustration and concern. “And I can certainly tell from the way you look that you are obviously oblivious to the things that are happening and have even HAPPENED before!”Lu Chen blinked, still shocked, st
136. What Can Be Done?
Hearing what Tyler had just explained, Lu Chen only grew more confused. Moments ago, he thought he was finally getting everything straight—until he began wondering how Diego could possibly know that the FBI getting Marshal’s phone would put Harry in danger.If Diego knew nothing about the phone, or the conversation tied to it, then there was absolutely no way the phone could be used against Harry.That was the exact point he had shared with Tyler earlier.But instead of settling things, it only made Tyler realize that Lu Chen still wasn’t understanding the heart of the problem.With a sigh, Tyler shifted closer, sitting right beside him this time. “You’re not getting my point,” he said firmly, eyes locked on Lu Chen’s. “You’re not understanding where exactly I’m coming from.”He paused, then added, “But I’ll make it clear to you.”Tyler leaned back slightly, reminding him, “Remember when I told you that I had a conversation with Harry, right?”Lu Chen nodded. “I do.”Tyler continued,
137. Let's Meet Up!
The question had struck Tyler harder than he expected. It had baffled him for a moment—but only long enough for him to recognize the urgency of the situation.“We just have to be extra vigilant while dealing with this,” he said sharply. “Especially when it has to do with Diego. We have to be extremely careful, and only then will our plan have a chance to succeed.”Lu Chen nodded, though his expression was troubled. Tyler’s words echoed in his mind, each one forcing him to reassess everything he thought he knew.Hearing that Diego—a soldier he had admired, promoted, and trusted to such a profound degree—was actually a spy planted deep inside Team Elite was something he still struggled to accept. Diego had always been one of his most reliable men. During promotions, rank evaluations, and star commendations, Lu Chen had made sure Diego stood at the top. He had never imagined that the man he valued so highly would betray them all.In battles, Diego was consistently effective; his troop al
