Haitang, who had listened to the entire conversation, had a strange expression on her face. She said, "There are all kinds of people in this world. I already found it strange that the Ace of Spades from Angel Wings is a martial arts fanatic who likes to kill openly. I didn't expect Thor to be even stranger. To prove himself, he actually wants to wait by your side for Asia's number one assassin, O, to appear. Sometimes, I really don't know what you stinky men are thinking."
Shen Dong chuckled and said, "I'm currently worth 20 billion US dollars, making me the richest person in the world in terms of personal wealth. Each of the four major wealthy families in Hong Kong has assets worth over 10 billion US dollars, more than they could spend in ten lifetimes. Yet we people are still working hard to make money. What do you think we're doing it for?"
Haitang asked, "What?"
Shen Dong said, "I don't know what they're thinking; I only know myself."
At this point, Shen Dong paused, a hint of reminiscence on his face, and said, "When I was a child, I wanted to earn money so that I could eat meat every day. After joining Hung Hing, I dreamed of becoming a regional boss, and even one day becoming the leader. Later, I realized that whether it was a boss or the leader, the end result was always the same: death. So I started doing legitimate work while constantly strengthening my own power to escape the cage of Hung Hing. Now I've become a super-rich man worth billions of US dollars, and I can enjoy a lifetime of wealth and luxury, but I don't think this is the life I want."
Haitang asked, "So what exactly do you want?"
Shen Dong said solemnly, "I want to do something for China."
Haitang asked, "Inland?"
Shen Dong looked intently at Haitang and said, "Whether you're from Hong Kong, Taiwan, or the mainland, we are all Chinese, and the blood of the Yellow Emperor flows in our veins. Haitang, I hope you can remember that."
Haitang could see the deep affection Shen Dong had for the inland region, so she quickly nodded and said, "I'm from southern Henan. Every year, I go with my dad to southern Henan to sweep the graves of my grandparents."
Shen Dong responded with an "oh," his expression softening considerably. He said, "The inland region is currently very poor, but it has enormous development potential. I will increase my investment in the inland region in the future to help it develop its economy. Haitang, you are an excellent leader, and I hope you can help me."
Haitang smiled and said, "No problem."
Shen Dong picked up his chopsticks and said, "That's good. Let's eat, and then we'll go for a walk outside. I've been in Xionggao for two days, and I haven't had a proper look at this city yet."
Haitang asked, "Aren't you worried that O will come and kill you?"
Shen Dong revealed a hint of disdain and said, "He's far from being good enough. Let me tell you, unless weapons of mass destruction are used, no one in this world can kill me."
Haitang rolled her eyes and said, "Forget it, you're really exaggerating."
Shen Dong said helplessly, "If you don't believe me, then so be it."
After a satisfying meal, Shen Dong and Haitang strolled hand in hand outside.
The bodyguards were about ten meters away, nervously watching the surrounding movements.
Li Jie and the others did not come.
They were very clear about Shen Dong's capabilities.
Even if there were ten O's, let alone one O', they wouldn't be a match for Shen Dong.
After walking around outside, Shen Dong suddenly sensed a gaze watching him from the shadows to his right.
Shen Dong stopped and looked over.
Haitang asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Shen Dong waved in the direction the gaze was directed and said with a smile, "Say hello to O."
Haitang followed Shen Dong's gaze and saw that the opposite side was pitch black, and she couldn't see anything.
"You found him?" Haitang asked in surprise.
Shen Dong nodded and said, "With my level of skill, I can immediately sense anyone looking at me with ill intentions, no matter how far away they are. Without this ability, I wouldn't have enough lives to survive."
Haitang exclaimed, "This is incredible! Could Master Xiahou do that too?"
Shen Dong said, "His five senses are ten times stronger than ordinary people, as sharp as an animal's, but he still can't reach my level. Heh, do you think that I, the number one expert in Hong Kong, can be easily surpassed? What a joke."
Haitang laughed and said, "You know what? The way you brag is really funny."
Shen Dong glared at her and said, "You little brat, how dare you laugh at me. Just you wait, tonight I'll make sure you're dead."
Haitang's face instantly turned bright red. She pinched him hard and said reproachfully, "We still don't know who will kill whom."
If the Donghu Gang members were to see the usually aloof Haitang revealing her girlish side at this moment, their jaws would drop in disbelief.
That night, a fierce "fight" was inevitable.
......
Less than ten kilometers from the Begonia Manor, in a hotel, Asia's number one assassin, O, sat on the sofa, drinking beer and watching TV.
But it was clear that his mind wasn't on the show.
The person who killed Shen Dong on a motorcycle was indeed O.
After easily evading the pursuers, O arrived at the hotel.
At seven o'clock in the afternoon, he went out to monitor the Begonia Manor.
O's two unsuccessful attempts instilled a deep sense of apprehension towards Shen Dong.
At a distance of ten meters, six bullets were fired, and Shen Dong was able to dodge them with ease.
And tonight, he was only 200 meters away when he glanced at Shen Dong with binoculars, and Shen Dong actually noticed and waved to him.
Such skill and perception can only be described as miraculous.
O even doubted whether Shen Dong was a human or a ghost.
This is absolutely terrifying!
However, no matter what, since he had accepted the mission, even if Shen Dong really had three heads and six arms, he would still kill him.
Thinking of this, O put down his beer, took out a box containing five or six time bombs.
He planned to risk sneaking into the manor that night and plant a time bomb in Haitang's car.
O is very confident in his skills.
If we're careful, no one should be able to spot it.
At three o'clock in the morning, O arrived at Haitang's manor without making a sound.
To protect Haitang and Shen Dong's safety, Zhao Chengxin arranged for more than forty security guards in the manor, who patrolled back and forth in two shifts, and each guard was armed.
The security measures were even more stringent than those for Zhao Chengxin himself.
Even so, O, like a ghost in the dark, easily evaded the patrolling security guards and entered the manor's underground parking lot.
There are more than twenty cars in the underground parking lot.
O remembers that Shen Dong and Haitang rode in a black Cadillac that morning.
After scanning around, O quickly found the car.
Just after planting the bomb, O suddenly felt a sense of unease.
Immediately afterwards, a voice came from a car not far away.
“Mr. Shen, O has just planted a bomb in the underground parking lot. According to our previous agreement, he belongs to me. I hope you can restrain those security guards.”
O's expression changed drastically. He immediately drew his gun and rushed towards the direction from which the sound came.
