Lu Youcai stopped in his tracks. He was already upset, so he was not in the mood to care about his daughter.
However, he couldn’t help but worry. He couldn’t help but say to his wife, “Then ask her properly today. Otherwise, she can sulk for half a month.”
Lu Youcai knew his daughter very well. When Mrs. Lu heard this, she nodded. “Don’t worry, eat quickly!”
After breakfast, Lu Youcai drove straight to the company. As soon as he walked out of the elevator, his secretary, who had been waiting for a long time, bounced up to him and reported his schedule for the day. “Chairman, the board meeting is at nine in the morning today. At half-past ten, you have to meet Manager Wang from Shenlan Construction. At noon…”
A series of schedules filled Lu Youcai’s day. After the secretary finished her report, he suddenly said to her with a serious expression, “Go and investigate East Sea Real Estate. The more detailed, the better!”
Lu Youcai was a very decisive person. At this moment, East Sea Real Estate was like a thorn in his heart. Although there was no conflict between the two sides, East Sea Real Estate’s current momentum was enough to make him feel a sense of crisis.
He could not pretend to know nothing and let it develop wantonly. Even if he could not make East Sea Real Estate disappear immediately, he still had to plan for competition. He could not let it climb over his company.
The secretary was stunned. She looked at Lu Youcai and asked for confirmation, “East Sea Real Estate?”
Lu Youcai nodded. “Do it now!”
Seeing this, the secretary didn’t dare to delay at all. She turned around and quickly left.
At this moment, Jian Ai had no idea that someone was thinking about her for no reason. She was chatting with Chi Lian and the rest at Bai Zhou’s house.
Because Bai Zhou’s life was in danger, Jian Ai ordered him not to leave her apartment easily. Even if he had something to do and had to go out, he had to be accompanied by Chi Lian and Chi Yang.
“Have there been any abnormalities in the past few days?” Jian Ai looked at them and asked.
Chi Yang shook his head. Chi Lian said, “My snake will guard the door every day. If anything happens, it will tell me.”
Chi Lian raised a black rattlesnake that was extremely humane.
Jian Ai nodded, but her expression was still solemn. Seeing this, Bai Zhou couldn’t help but comfort her. “Boss, with Chi Lian around, you don’t have to worry. You’ve never seen Chi Lian’s ability.”
“Of course I know that Chi Lian is powerful.” Jian Ai sighed and said, “But we have not eliminated the danger yet. Even if Yu Wuyuan is here, I can’t be completely at ease.”
“We don’t know the other party’s trump cards. Do you still remember those foreigners from last time? One of them also has a special ability. At that time, Si Yue, Xiao Zhen, and Chi Yang weren’t their match even when they joined forces. If there are many such people in the world, what should we do? I’m worried!”
Si Yue had never forgotten that person. He even remembered that man’s name was ‘Lei.’ He could summon lightning to attack. He was so fast that even he could do nothing to him.
“That person is indeed very strong,” Si Yue said truthfully.
“Sect Master, it’s reasonable for you to worry about Bai Zhou’s safety, but with the current situation, there’s no use worrying too much. Instead, it will disturb everyone’s hearts. Don’t worry, if the other party does it again, I’ll do my best to capture them alive. As long as I find the other party’s organization, I’ll be able to find the source,” Chi Lian said calmly.
Only then did Jian Ai realize that her emotions had affected others. She cared too much about Bai Zhou.
“I’m sorry. I was being too negative and didn’t control myself,” Jian Ai said and instantly restrained her expression. “I believe you.”
…
In a luxurious manor in the suburbs of Lazio, Italy.
The pure European-style villa stood halfway up the mountain. There were trees around it, but they installed surveillance cameras in hidden areas. From time to time, groups of burly men in camouflage clothes would walk past with guns.
In the villa, a man in a general’s uniform was sitting on the main sofa. The man looked a little old, about fifty years old. His golden beard reached his chest, and his body was a little bloated. A dazzling scar on his left eye added a trace of ruthlessness.
This person was the controller of the International Mercenary Group, Hans!
On the other side of the sofa sat two young Asian-looking faces. The man’s name was Lao Liu, and the woman’s name was Xiao Qi. The two of them were siblings and served the same master.
“Mr. Hans, your mercenary group has already failed our mission twice. Don’t you have anything to explain to us? After all, our master lost his temper because of this. You’ve worked with my master for many years, so you should know how much money my master sponsors you every year,” Lao Liu said expressionlessly, but his tone was questioning.
Hans’ bloated body leaned against the sofa, but he smiled indifferently when he heard that. “The mission failed. I’m also very troubled. You have to know that both missions caused my mercenary group to lose six top-notch mercenaries. In terms of losses, I’m the one who suffered heavy losses.”
When Xiao Qi heard this, she immediately sneered disdainfully. It was obvious that she did not take the leader of a mere mercenary group seriously because of her master’s noble status. She immediately sneered and said, “To die at the hands of the mission target, it can only be said that your mercenary group’s strength is superficial. However, our master spent real money to entrust you with this mission. You have to think of a way to complete it. Otherwise, our master said that starting next year, the funding for you will end.”
These obvious threats did not move Hans when they entered his ears. He immediately answered calmly, “Sir does have a reason to be angry, but I also have to make things clear. The target might have experts protecting him. Before I investigate thoroughly, I will not let my people die for nothing!”
“Mr. Hans, consider before you speak.” Xiao Liu’s expression turned cold as he said aggressively, “Since you’ve accepted the mission, how can you not send someone to carry it out? Or is there no one left in your mercenary group?”
Xiao Qi chimed in, “You have to finish the target as soon as possible. Master can’t wait anymore!”
Hans sat on the sofa and watched these two lackeys speaking arrogantly in front of him. He was indeed holding back in his heart. It could be seen that he was indeed worried about the master behind these two.
“It’s not that there aren’t people, but these people are very special. Unless necessary, I won’t use them.” Hans hesitated for a while before saying this.
Lao Liu and Xiao Qi couldn’t help but look at each other when they heard this. They thought to themselves that this old thing still had a trump card!
