Benjamin shook his head and said, "I have to respectfully address you as Uncle Charlie. You have been in the Martin Group since my grandfather started managing it. Over the years, I have witnessed your tireless contributions and unwavering dedication, that is why I entrust you with this critical project."

His words, wrapped in politeness, sent a shiver down Charlie's spine. Charlie sensed the underlying storm in Benjamin's calm demeanor.

Charlie asked, "Mr. Martin, there's no need for such formality. If you have something to say, just say it plainly."

Benjamin's eyes narrowed slightly as he asked directly, "Are you certain no one has left in recent days? Has anyone gone out through that door?"

Charlie frowned and fell silent.

Benjamin smiled, "Since someone has indeed slipped out, then call them back here."

Charlie's solemn expression made it clear he understood the implication.

With a weary sigh, Charlie nodded and turned to leave.
