Bai Qianmo looked at Bai Kangyan: "I can't explain this to you right now. I can only tell you that I haven't done anything illegal. You are also a businessman, so you should understand how fierce the competition is in this industry. UK Fund has gotten to where it is today by stepping on the interests of many people, so it will naturally make many enemies."
"So, the assassination of Jane was carried out by a business rival? Who is it? Do I know them? Is there anything I can do to help?"
Hearing Bai Qianmo's explanation, Bai Kangyan breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it's not about joining an illegal organization, he's willing to unconditionally support whatever his daughter does.
Bai Qianmo shook her head: "You can't help with this. The other party is from Wall Street, and you don't know them."
Bai Qianmo glanced at her watch, put down her teacup, and stood up.
"I'm going to check on Jayne. I'm leaving now."
After turning around and taking a few steps, Bai Qianmo suddenly stopped.
She turned to Bai Kangyan: "You organized Jin Wancai's press conference today, right? Thank you!"
A faint smile appeared on Bai Kangyan's face, and his eyes revealed a father's deep love for his daughter.
"I'm very happy to be able to do something for you."

Upon hearing that her entire army had been wiped out in the hospital, Huo Xiuxiu could no longer sit still.
A sinister glint appeared on her cold, beautiful face: "Who exactly ruined my plans?"
The scarred man said, "Three level-one mercenaries went and never returned. Their tracking devices were also moved. Their fate is currently unknown. It seems that there must be some experts hiding around Jayne."
"Hmph, how could he possibly risk his life alone to become the CEO of the UK Foundation, a right-hand man of the Grim Reaper? He must be accompanied by experts. How could a mission given by Mr. Feng be completed so easily?"
Huo Xiuxiu narrowed her eyes and pondered for a long time before speaking angrily: "Just because I knew the mission would be difficult to complete, I sent three elites there, and they all died there. Even if they died, we must find out who killed them. You go back to the Heston Hotel and continue the investigation. You must find out who is protecting Jayne."
"yes!"
After the scarred man left, Huo Xiuxiu's face turned extremely pale.
If this mission fails again, it will be difficult to explain to Mr. Feng. How can that man be willing to help her obtain the Huo family's power afterward?
Huo Xiuxiu took a deep breath to suppress her agitation.
If Jain can be dealt with overseas, the UK Foundation will inevitably be thrown into chaos.
This matter is not only about reporting to Mr. Feng, but it is also a good thing for the Huo family and for her in every way.
A secret base
Mei entered a secret room and bowed respectfully to a tall, slender figure with his back to the door.
"Master, Huo Xiuxiu's assassination attempt on Jayne has failed."
The man stood in front of a painting; in the pitch-black room, only a viewing lamp illuminated the top of the painting.
After Mei came in, the man did not turn around, nor did he move at all.
The painting depicts a beautiful woman wearing a light blue short-sleeved shirt and long skirt, with long, seaweed-like hair that accentuates her stunningly beautiful face.
Mei lifted her eyelids and secretly glanced at the painting.
The indoor lighting was too dim, and with the man blocking her view, she could only vaguely make out a slender figure.
"As expected," the man said slowly, his voice carrying a powerful penetrating force.
"Since you knew Huo Xiuxiu would fail, why did you still send her to assassinate Jayne?"
"Hehe, when fishing, you need to put bait on the fish. The bait attracts the fish, and the fish takes the bait. Only then is the whole fishing process complete. If you miss any part of the process, you lose interest in fishing."
Mei immediately understood the meaning behind the man's words.
"You're using Huo Xiuxiu as bait?"
The man chuckled softly and said nothing more.
His deep eyes were fixed on the woman in the painting, but he asked Mei, "How is Yin Chi's injury?"
"He has recovered. Do you allow him to return?"
“Someone is investigating him recently, and his identity has probably been exposed. He should lay low abroad for a while.”
“Master, the reason Yin Chi was injured by that woman Bai Qianmo this time was not because he was careless, but because he…” Mei’s words were cut short as she felt a pang of sadness and did not want to tell the truth.
"You've been by Yin Chi's side for so long, Yin Chi must know your feelings better than anyone else. It's a pity that I have feelings for him but he doesn't reciprocate. Even if it weren't for Bai Qianmo, it might have been someone else."
"But Master, he can fall in love with anyone, but he just happened to fall in love with Bai Qianmo. Aren't you angry?"
"Hehe, Yin Chi is not the only man who likes her. Only a vulgar person would care about such things. What I want is far more than just Bai Qianmo herself."
“The master has a broad mind and lofty goals, so he will not be swayed by personal feelings for his children.”
The man scoffed lightly: "By the way, has there been any news about that thing from the Bai family?"
Mei lowered her head and said respectfully, "Bai Xinrou is looking for it, but she hasn't found it in Elder Bai's study yet. She has also tried to subtly inquire with Elder Bai, but judging from his tone, he doesn't seem to know about its existence."
"Have her search for it as soon as possible."
"yes!"
The man waved his hand: "Alright, you can go now."
After Mei left, the man put his hands behind his back and looked up slightly at the woman in the painting.
"A hundred years have passed, and your personality hasn't changed at all. Don't worry, I'll take you back soon, away from here, away from this world where he is. Then you'll belong only to me."
