Chapter 509: Chapter 250: Settling Down and Understanding the Situation

To that end, Su Chen had made a point of calling Raymond for information. He got the number for the head of their Southeast Asia operations and sent his itinerary to the man, Adam, before even leaving the country.

"How’s the investigation coming along?" The white SUV Su Chen had seen downstairs belonged to Adam and his men, who had been following them ever since they left the airport.

Su Chen was asking about his older brother, Chen Fan. When Chen Fan’s group had left earlier, Adam and his team had followed them.

"Boss, we have some preliminary findings," Adam said, pulling a folded piece of paper from his pocket and handing it to Su Chen.

Su Chen looked up at Adam before taking the paper from his hand.

Adam quickly began his report. "According to our initial investigation, Mr. Chen Fan arrived in Singapore four months ago, entering from Malaysia."

"He’s currently renting half a floor of office space in Hougang’s Lida Technology Park, where he started a company called Qifan Technology. He has about six or seven employees. We still need to investigate what exactly the company does."

"If you need it, Boss, I can get you files on all of them within two hours, tops."

Adam watched his boss’s expression as he spoke. ’He was curious why the boss cared about a small-timer like Chen Fan. If Su Chen wanted to deal with them, it would only take a single word.’

’However, Adam knew better than to get involved in matters his boss hadn’t given explicit orders on, lest his good intentions backfire.’

’He could tell the relationship between his boss and this Chen Fan was unusual. Why else would he be staying in a dump like this?’

Su Chen was floored by Adam’s report. ’He never imagined his older brother had actually started a company here.’

The name alone—Qifan Technology—made the connection to Chen Fan obvious.

’So what he said on the phone was actually true,’ Su Chen thought to himself. ’Still, my brother isn’t exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. What kind of tech company could he possibly run that would make that much money?’

After a moment’s thought, Su Chen placed the paper on the table. He then looked at Adam and said, "Hold off on the investigation for now. Let’s just wait and see."

Adam, of course, did as his boss commanded, immediately indicating that he understood.

Now that Su Chen had a general idea of the situation, he changed the subject to IPS’s operations in Southeast Asia.

After some casual conversation, Su Chen learned from Adam that IPS was the gold standard in Southeast Asia. The company was responsible for the security details of numerous powerful officials and wealthy magnates.

Their manpower was also immense, with nearly five thousand agents spread across eleven countries in Southeast Asia.

"Alright, you can head back for now. Just have your men continue the surveillance; you don’t need to lead them personally. I’ll call you if I need anything."

Adam grew anxious when he heard this. ’It’s a rare chance to handle something for the Boss personally, how can I just hand it off to my subordinates? What if they screw up?’

"Boss, I..."

Before he could finish, Su Chen cut him off with a raised hand. "It’s fine. Go take care of your other duties. With one of your teams on it, what’s there to worry about?"

Seeing this, Adam could only nod in understanding. He stood, gave Su Chen a respectful gesture, and left.

After Adam left, Su Chen sent Chen Fei back to his room, specifically warning him not to mention anything about IPS to the "Treasure Hunting Five."

Su Chen intended to use this as a test; he wanted to win these five over.

*Sigh...* With a soft sigh, Su Chen stood by the window, gazing at the distant, azure sky. A complicated look flickered in his eyes as he muttered quietly, "Brother, are you really on the straight and narrow?"

Going from a degenerate gambler to the founder of a tech company in just a few short months... Su Chen just couldn’t connect the dots.
