Chapter 460: Chapter 460: Will the Truth Soon Surface? _1
Xin Chuifeng was finding it hard to breathe due to Zhang Xian’s grip. His gaze towards Zhang Xian seed to contain a wildfire’s rage.
Of course, his fury and dissatisfaction could only be expressed through his eyes. In front of an Innate expert, he, a re Post-Innate trash, couldn’t stir up any commotion.
"This guy is absolutely aweso!"
Liu Changfeng watched Zhang Xian, his mind a whirl of thoughts and ideas.
At the sa ti, though, he was sowhat displeased with Zhang Xian’s behavior. After all, Xin Chuifeng ca with him. As the saying goes, one should respect the owner when beating a dog, and Zhang Xian was striking at his face.
"What are you glaring at? Do you think you can glare
to death?"
Zhang Xian raised his hand and flung Xin Chuifeng far away. He said coldly, "Get out. If you’re slow, I’ll make your crying rhythmic."
Xin Chuifeng slowly got back up, cast a cold glare at Zhang Xian, and then with the astonished gazes of the other diners around him, left the restaurant in a huff.
The incident was a great disgrace for him, a vendetta he was determined to avenge.
"Haha..."
Zhang Xian suddenly erupted into laughter. Sitting down, he beckoned, "Co, Mr. Liu, let’s continue drinking and not let this piece of trash spoil our mood."
"Co..." Liu Changfeng laughed dryly and reluctantly raised his wine glass.
Thus, the al quickly ended amidst the slightly awkward atmosphere. Of course, this was concerning Zhang Xian. For Liu Changfeng, it was the longest al he had ever eaten.
He had no choice, Zhang Xian was too domineering, making it difficult for him to figure out Zhang Xian’s real strength. Sitting together, he, as the Family Head of the Liu family, felt an inexplicable pressure.
"This guy’s future is bound to be promising!"
Upon leaving the restaurant, Liu Changfeng took a deep breath, furrowed his brows, and quickly ducked into a nearby black Lincoln sedan.
"Haha! That was so exciting!"
Li Peichi walked out of the restaurant, her hands and feet dancing with excitent. "The way Xin Chuifeng looked just now was hilarious! His Xin family can’t protect him at all!"
Although Nangong Wu didn’t say anything, a cheerful smile showed on her face.
She had clearly seen the entire scenario where Zhang Xian arrogantly pinched Xin Chuifeng, unhesitatingly trampling the Xin family’s dignity, looking powerful and domineering.
How many would dare to do sothing so brash? How many would dare to grab Xin Chuifeng and trample him so brazenly?
Zhang Xian dared and invariably made her feel quite safe.
She believed that with Zhang Xian guarding her side, she would safely survive this crisis.
"Hey! Where are you going now?"
Li Peichi looked at Zhang Xian and asked, "Are you going to Elder Sister Shaoyun?"
"Yeah, I’m going over there to take a look." Zhang Xian nodded.
Li Peichi pouted and said, "Hey! Co back soon, don’t keep us waiting too long. If we wait half an hour like last ti, you’re dead."
...
At a certain large villahouse in Yanjing, the light was sowhat dim.
The Head of the Cao Family sat on a sofa, holding his cellphone, asking with a dark face, "What are you at Skynet playing at? Are you toying with ?"
"The task this ti is a bit difficult. Also, you didn’t provide us with complete information."
The Head of the Cao Family asked coldly, "What do you an by my not providing complete information? You previously stated that you could easily handle it, but after all this ti, this guy is still alive and kicking."
"You said the target only had a bit of martial arts training, but in reality, he’s an expert. Your mistake cost us several assassins."
The Head of the Cao Family sneered, "That’s because your assassins are incompetent."
"Why don’t you try? See how skilled our assassins are? We said initially that we should investigate, but you pushed for speed, so we didn’t. You really thought that man was just an ordinary martial arts practitioner as you said. But when our n went there, they were slaughtered like lambs. We didn’t cause you trouble, yet you’re blaming us?"
"Uh..."
The corner of the Head of the Cao Family’s mouth twitched unnaturally, "Alright! I can pay more, but you must deal with him for
as soon as possible."
"No problem, as long as the price is reasonable."
The Head of the Cao Family said coldly, "I will transfer the money to you soon. I hope you don’t disappoint
again."
"Wait for my good news."
The Head of the Cao Family snorted and hung up the phone without further ado.
He had assigned the task of assassinating Zhang Xian to Skynet quite so ti ago. But now, with Zhang Xian still alive and kicking, it severely irritated him and made him doubt Skynet’s capabilities.
As long as Zhang Xian wasn’t dead, he won’t rest.
...
In a certain unimpressive small building in Yanjing, inside the living room.
A middle-aged man listened to the busy tone on the phone, his mouth twitched unnaturally a few tis, then he dialed another number and asked, "How’s the task going? How do you people work?"
"Um...the guys on the ground say the task is a bit difficult and they want to see you. Is it convenient?"
The middle-aged man was taken aback and asked, "See ? Why?"
"It seems that there’s so important information to report which can’t be conveyed via email. They want to talk to you face-to-face."
After hesitating for a bit, the middle-aged man said, "Send
his contact number, I’ll get in touch with him."
...
At noon, inside the office at the top floor of Tiannan Group’s headquarters.
Mo Shaoyun and Xiao Nan were sitting at their desks, eating lunch while chatting.
Just like Nangong Wu and Li Peichi, without Zhang Xian’s protection, they did not dare to venture out and could only get takeouts delivered to their office.
"Click." Suddenly, the office door was pushed open, and Zhang Xian walked in.
Seeing Mo Shaoyun and Xiao Nan having their al, he paused and asked, "How does it feel eating in the office?"
"What do you think?" Xiao Nan rolled her eyes at Zhang Xian.
They had no idea where this guy disappeared to all morning. If he hadn’t taken off, would they have to resort to eating takeout in the office? How much more delightful it would have been to dine in a restaurant!
"Why are you only back now?" Mo Shaoyun asked with a frown.
Zhang Xian replied, "Sothing ca up this morning. I had to settle a few small issues, which is why it’s only now that I’m back."
"Did sothing happen again with Nangong Wu?"
Zhang Xian nodded, "Yeah, a few n from the Nangong family ca along. They were talking about forcibly taking over the Fairy Palace. I put them in their place. Now, I have completely offended the Nangong family. The Xin family may probably intervene as well. Be careful these days. The Nangong family is extrely shaless. Don’t let them exploit any loopholes and use you guys to threaten ."
"Er, you have already offended two influential families?"
Mo Shaoyun wrinkled her eyebrows and asked, "What about in Tiandu? What about Dong Qian, Fu iting, Elder Sister Hong, and Elder Sister Yulan? Can you still run back and forth?"
"I’ll have people help out over there."
Zhang Xian sneered, "With Brother Jun and Old Man Qiu, it won’t be easy for those guys to ss with Qianqian and the others."
"Things seem to be getting more complicated," Xiao Nan murmured, frowning."
Zhang Xian nodded, "It’s unavoidable. After getting involved with you all, things have only escalated. At this point, we’re only at the beginning. Who knows how this will escalate?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Shaoyun lowered her head.
Recently, quite a few issues have arisen because of her. Although Nangong Wu also encountered plenty of trouble, Zhang Xian only intervened mostly out of consideration for her and Li Peichi.
"Don’t worry."
Seeing Mo Shaoyun appearing concerned, Zhang Xian smiled, "With
here, they can’t stir up big waves."
"Hmm."
Mo Shaoyun nodded and then said to Zhang Xian, "Thank you for everything you’ve done for us."
"What do you an by that?"
Zhang Xian frowned, "Is there a need to say thanks between us?"
"I..."
After hesitating, Mo Shaoyun reiterated, "Of course! Even husbands and wives can say thank you. Why are you dwelling on this trivial matter?"
"Alright," Zhang Xian responded, not saying anything further.
Perplexingly, Mo Shaoyun suddenly brought up this issue. He thought she might have beco angry about sothing and was intentionally creating distance between them.
Fortunately, her unexpected reaction was just an impulsive remark, with no ulterior motive attached.
"Ding Dong..."
Suddenly, a cell phone started ringing loudly.
Zhang Xian took out his phone and answered, "I hope you’ve got good news for ."
"Big brother, we...we’ve sorted things out with the guys up top. We’ll et tonight."
Zhang Xian coldly smirked, "Are you sure?"
"Su... sure..."
Zhang Xian said, "Good, I hope you guys don’t do anything foolish. There won’t be any trouble if you behave yourselves. If not, you won’t end up in a good place."
"Absolutely..."
Zhang Xian smirked, revealing a bizarre smile, and hung up the call.
The ’big shot’ who had been hiding in the shadows was finally about to surface. Once the target was confird, the issues on Mo Shaoyun’s side were basically as good as resolved.
"Who just called you?" Mo Shaoyun asked, furrowing her eyebrows.
Zhang Xian replied, "Your assassin. This ti, if I’m lucky, I might find a lead and solve the matter for you once and for all."
"Really?" Mo Shaoyun’s eyes sparkled.
Recently, the elusive assassination organization had tornted her to the point of nearly driving her insane. Living in constant fear and anxiety, not a mont felt relaxed. Even sleeping was a challenge.
After looking at Zhang Xian, she asked again, "What is your plan to deal with this? There won’t be any danger, right?"
"You can totally rest assured about that."
Zhang Xian spoke confidently, "A few assassins are nothing to ."
"You’re not going there now, are you?"
Xiao Nan looked at Zhang Xian and said, "We’re not out of danger yet. What if it’s a trap, like drawing the tiger away from the mountain, or if sobody else has an ulterior motive? Aren’t we in big trouble then?"
"I’ll go there tonight."
Zhang Xian said, "No matter what, my priority is to ensure your safety, right? We’ve been together so long, how can you not believe ?"
"I... I didn’t an that, right?"
Xiao Nan’s eyes rapidly shifted, "Isn’t that just because I reminder you? I was afraid you would get too excited and forget about the main affair."
"Uh..."
Zhang Xian clutched his chest, complaining, "I’m crushed. After all this ti, Sister Nan doesn’t trust ."
