"Hmph... consider yourself lucky!"
The masked beauty clenched her silver teeth and withdrew her sharp oxtail knife.
If she had insisted on killing Qin Yu, she certainly would have been pierced through by arrows.
She glared fiercely at the A-level security guards who helped, before turning and walking toward her Jeep Wrangler.
Boom...
With a heavy stomp on the gas pedal, she kicked up several ters of dust and drove off right under everyone's noses.
Qin Yu was no match for her, and these A-level security guards didn't have the ability to make her stay either.
"Thank you...."
Qin Yu dusted himself off and, after standing up, nodded at the A-level security guards.
"Hehe, Brother Yu, we were watching you fight with that chick from the shadows just now. If it were us, we probably would have been taken out in the first round!"
"Yeah, Brother Yu, your combat experience is really impressive. Teach us soti!"
"Brother Yu, let us take you to the hospital to get that treated!"

The A-level security guards surrounded Qin Yu with faces full of admiration, chattering away.
"No worries, I can just deal with it when I get back. Once I'm done with everything, I'll stay at the company for a few days and teach everyone so combat skills!"
Qin Yu didn't take his injuries seriously. He wasn't a delicate young man who needed to rush to the hospital for a minor scratch; besides, if he delayed, the wounds would just heal on their own.
"Alright then, Brother Yu, we'll take off first!"
The A-level security guards didn't say much more; they knew that Qin Yu had been very busy these past few days. After bidding farewell, they got into the car parked in the distance and left first.
"Phew...."
Qin Yu let out a sigh and a question arose in his mind: what was the relationship between this female assassin and Pei Luoyan?
In this affair, what role did Pei Luoyan play?
Was she completely unaware, or an accomplice?
And why did Yan Mingyu feel as if she had seen Pei Luoyan sowhere before?
What unknown stories were hidden beneath the surface?
Qin Yu pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a headache building.
And was Pei Luoyan's visit to Four Seas Corporation tomorrow because of Yan Mingyu's invitation, or was it just part of their plan, going with the flow?
After Qin Yu settled into the BMW, he closed his eyes, feeling his mind was as tangled as a ball of yarn with nurous loose ends that he just couldn't sort out.
He sat in the car for a while before driving back to the rental house.
Xu Peng was still recuperating in the hospital, so Qin Yu was alone in the house.
After taking a shower, he took the first-aid kit and treated his wounds briefly. Then, he collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.
When he woke up the next day, the first thing he did was call Yan Mingyu to ask what ti Pei Luoyan would arrive at the company.
Of course, he didn't ntion the resemblance between last night's female assassin and Pei Luoyan.
"We agreed on ten o'clock in the morning. Li Xiaozu will also be coming to the company; I'll leave everything in your hands then!" Yan Mingyu said.
"Ms. Yan, is there a possibility that Pei Luoyan agreed to et you because she knew that Li Xiaozu would also be going to the company?" Qin Yu asked, frowning.
A celebrity and a wealthy businessman, two unrelated people, intersected in life because of Yan Mingyu.
To say it was a coincidence, Qin Yu didn't believe it.
"Even if that's the case, we won't change the plan. Rather than being secretly watched, it's better to draw them out!" Yan Mingyu said calmly.
Since the day she went to pick up Li Xiaozu from the airport, Yan Mingyu knew that a group of people lurking in the shadows wanted Li Xiaozu dead.
But who these people were, who was part of their group, where they would strike, she had no idea.
The only way was to set a trap and draw them out into the open once and for all.
"President Yan, I understand what you an. How can I cooperate with you?"
Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief; this ice-mountain wife of his was indeed smarter than he had imagined.
"Keep Li Xiaozu safe!"
Yan Mingyu stressed again.
"Okay!"
After Qin Yu finished speaking, he put down his phone, thought for a mont, then made a phone call to Li Xiaozu.
Li had already set off towards the city and would et Qin Yu at the entrance of the Investnt Promotion Departnt before they headed to Four Seas Corporation together.
Qin Yu checked the ti; it was now eight o'clock sharp.
eting Li Xiaozu at the entrance of the Investnt Promotion Departnt around nine seed about right.
After that, he entered the bathroom to wash up and shave before going out for breakfast.
He left the urban village in his car at eight-thirty.
Arriving at the entrance of the Investnt Promotion Departnt, it was just nine o'clock.
After waiting for about ten minutes, a line of police cars drove up, followed by a black Audi.
Li Xiaozu got out of the car, exchanged a few words with the leaders of the Investnt Promotion Departnt, and then, accompanied by his female secretary, headed towards Qin Yu's BMW X5.
"Mr. Qin! I appreciate you coming to pick up!"
Li Xiaozu said very politely.
"Mr. Li, you're welco. Please!"
Qin Yu opened the door and after Li Xiaozu got in, glanced at the female secretary and said in a low voice, "Today things might get very complicated, whatever happens, do not leave Mr. Li's side!"
"Understood!"
The female secretary nodded affirmatively and got into the passenger seat.
Her slender fingers twirled the pen Qin Yu had seen once, which was actually her special weapon, hiding a sharp scalpel inside.
In Hua Country, the managent of firearms was extrely strict, so bladed weapons had beco more useful.
The rest of the journey went by in silence.
When they arrived at Four Seas Corporation, the entrance was covered with a red carpet and banners, with about twenty security guards dressed in black suits standing alert on both sides.
Yan Mingyu, wearing a fitted business attire with a scarf around her neck and sporting white gloves, stood waiting at the entrance.
After two days of rest, her complexion had improved a lot.
She walked towards Qin Yu's BMW after catching a glance of it, "Uncle Li!"
"Mingyu, you'll be busy today so there's no need to mind . Just let Mr. Qin accompany around the company!"
Li Xiaozu got out of the car and said.
On the way there, Qin Yu had ntioned that Pei Luoyan would be visiting the company today too, hoping that Li Xiaozu could avoid eting her to reduce any risk.
At this point, no one could be sure of the exact role Pei Luoyan was playing in this whole affair, and they couldn't do anything to her before she slipped up.
"Okay, Qin Yu, you're familiar with the company, so please give Uncle Li a thorough tour. We'll eat lunch at the hotel across the street! My grandfather and your grandfather will be there too,"
Yan Mingyu nodded and said.
Since the Yan family and Li family were old family friends and Li Xiaozu had returned to the country specifically for collaboration with Four Seas Corporation, Master Yan would definitely show up and have a al to catch up with Li Xiaozu.
"Understood, President Yan!"
After Qin Yu finished speaking, he swept a glance over the two rows of security guards, thankful that they were mostly familiar faces. External thieves were easy to defend against, but the fear was in-house betrayal.
"They have all been with the company for over three years, and today's security has been specially arranged!"
Yan Mingyu seed to sense Qin Yu's concern and proactively spoke up.
"Right!"
Qin Yu nodded slightly, but his caution did not wane.
He knew that in the face of imnse interest, even spouses could turn against each other, let alone company employees.
Who could guarantee they hadn't been bought off?
