1338 Evil Light Slash
Today, Jian Changsheng brought Qiao Shuyi and Jian Yiyi back to the Jian residence. At the dinner table, Old Master Jian looked at Jian Changsheng and said, “Changsheng, you’ve put in the last bit of effort into this final bidding. Hongxiang Group is not easy to deal with. After all, this project is a big cake. The other party is eyeing it covetously.”
Jian Changsheng nodded and said absent-mindedly, “I understand, Dad. The Jian Group will do its best for this project.”
Jian Changsheng took a sip of red wine as if he didn’t want to talk about it.
Jian Changsheng was present at the bidding meeting today. His original goal was to see his daughter, but Jian Ai was not present today.
He might as well look at the bidding process seriously. East Sea Real Estate’s ideals and ideas were quite advanced. Many of them were new things that had never been seen in the real estate industry today. The novelty of the model shocked him, the CEO of the Jian Group.
However, East Sea Real Estate still failed in the end because of the company’s scale.
Jian Changsheng felt sorry for his daughter because he initially planned to withdraw if East Sea Real Estate could enter the final round with the Jian Group. He wanted to give this project to his daughter.
However, the heavens were not cooperative, and his intentions were ruined.
If East Sea Real Estate was more experienced and bigger, it would not have been Hongxiang Group’s turn.
Therefore, Jian Changsheng had mixed feelings today.
The old man was in high spirits and didn’t notice Jian Changsheng’s abnormality. He said, “This project is no small matter. If the Jian Group can win it, it will be the Jian Group’s largest project in recent years.”
Although the Jian Group also owned the South City demolition project, demolishing and rebuilding a district was not a project of the same level.
Jian Changsheng didn’t respond. Qiao Shuyi looked up at him and said nothing.
After dinner, Jian Changsheng went to the yard alone to enjoy the wind. It was already winter, but he was only wearing a suit jacket as he stood by the flower bed.
Qiao Shuyi came out in a fur coat and saw Jian Changsheng’s bleak back. Her heart tightened.
“Why didn’t you wear another layer? Be careful not to catch a cold from the wind.” Qiao Shuyi walked behind Jian Changsheng and draped the coat in her hand over his shoulder.
Jian Changsheng came back to his senses and turned to look at Qiao Shuyi with a smile. “I’m just taking a breather. I’ll go in later. Go back to your room. Don’t catch a cold.”
Qiao Shuyi didn’t leave. Instead, she held Jian Changsheng’s hand and leaned her head over. “You look distracted. Is there something on your mind?”
Usually, Jian Changsheng said almost everything to Qiao Shuyi. He would even share the company’s troubles with Qiao Shuyi. Qiao Shuyi was also happy to listen to him talk about these things.
However, Jian Changsheng couldn’t tell her everything about what had happened today. He sighed and said, “I’m fine. I’ve been too tired from work recently, so I couldn’t focus.”
Qiao Shuyi didn’t care if he was telling the truth. The two of them had a tacit understanding. If Jian Changsheng didn’t want to say it, Qiao Shuyi wouldn’t ask.
Therefore, Qiao Shuyi only comforted him. “If you’re tired, rest. Don’t push yourself too hard.”
“I understand.” Jian Changsheng pulled Qiao Shuyi into his arms and kissed her forehead. “It’s good to have you accompany me.”
Qiao Shuyi buried her head in Jian Changsheng’s chest and was surrounded by happiness.
…
South America, Brazil.
The hot sun roasted the ground, and it immersed the entire city in an invisible heat wave.
There was an abandoned factory surrounded by a large space. Not far away, there was a dilapidated basketball court. The people who often moved around this place were some idle Black youths.
With a loud bang, the entire ground shook. The few pieces of glass on the abandoned factory window shattered, and smoke rose around the entire building.
The Black youths gathered not far away were shocked when they heard this. They all looked in the factory’s direction in horror, but no one dared to go forward to check what had happened.
However, the voice just now sounded as if something had exploded.
In the next second, a figure suddenly flew out of the window in the factory.
That figure looked a little slender and delicate. Although it was just an afterimage, it was not difficult to tell that it was a woman.
Her body fell to the ground from the window at the top of the factory like a falling leaf.
“Ah…” The woman couldn’t help but grunt. She had already smashed a shallow pit in the ground below her, but she only frowned and stood up unscathed.
If an ordinary person jumped down from such a height, they would probably die on the spot.
However, a powerful force pushed this woman out. She smashed into the ground and was unscathed.
The woman stood up and looked up at the sky with a gloomy gaze. An elegant and slender figure slowly floated out of the window she had just flown out of.
Yu Wuyuan was wearing a decent black suit. He had soft short hair and exquisite facial features. At this moment, he was floating in the sky like a god against the sun.
His target this time was the American woman called Joey in front of him. She was ranked second among all the mission targets.
Joey looked up at Yu Wuyuan, and a fierce look flashed across her eyes. Then, she waved her hand, and the surrounding abandoned junk smashed towards Yu Wuyuan in the air.
Seeing this, Yu Wuyuan immediately waved a few sword auras. The sword auras were invisible in the air, cutting the miscellaneous items into pieces without being seen by the naked eye.
Then, Yu Wuyuan raised his fingers and said, “Evil Light Slash!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Wuyuan raised his fingers and made a chopping gesture. A huge silver sword slashed down.
The sword was shockingly big and was more than twenty meters long. Although it was an illusion, the pressure and shock it brought could not be underestimated.
Seeing this, Joey was shocked. This Asian-looking man’s strength was so terrifying that she could not withstand him at all, let alone retaliate.
A silver light flashed. The speed of the Evil Light Splash was almost imperceptible. Even though Joey dodged immediately, the sword aura still injured her.
An extremely deep wound appeared on her waist, and blood instantly flowed out.
However, looking at the spot where she was just now, the Evil Light Slash had slashed out an extremely deep ravine. Black smoke was still emitting from the ravine, showing how terrifying the power of this strike was.
If she had not dodged quickly, she would have been split into two on the spot.
However, in just a few seconds, the wound on Joey’s waist healed at a visible speed. This self-healing ability was the most troublesome.
Seeing this, Yu Wuyuan couldn’t help but frown. He thought to himself, ‘As expected.’
