"I was just about to call you," Qiao Wanwan said. "I just heard from Jiang Dong that you were attacked. Luckily, you're alright, right?"
"Well, if you hadn't told me that the mastermind might still be alive and would come after me, I wouldn't have been on guard."
"I know you usually prefer to be alone and don't have the habit of bringing bodyguards, so of course I had to remind you. I didn't expect that, as if on cue, it would actually come to our door!"
"My brother betrayed him and blew up the auto repair shop. It's understandable that he'd come looking for revenge; bad things just happen, not good ones." Wen Lixuan closed his eyes, his handsome face filled with pain. "It's just a pity for my brother. How heartbroken he would be if he knew he gave his life but failed to kill the mastermind..."
"It's too late to say anything more now. The only thing we can do is catch him as soon as possible to comfort your brother's soul in heaven."
"That's right!"
"Lixuan, you're lucky you didn't get into trouble today. You need to be extra careful from now on, as the other side has weapons."
"I know, I'll be careful."
"Do you need me to arrange for someone to protect you?" Qiao Wanwan asked. "Jing Ting's bodyguards are all professionally trained, so they might be able to protect you better."
"No need. I'm a grown man. It would be too embarrassing if I couldn't handle something like this." Wen Lixuan smiled. "Your family has many people who need protection, so you naturally need a lot of manpower. I won't cause any trouble. Don't worry, I will hire a few more professional bodyguards to protect me."
"Well, besides bodyguards, the most important thing is to go out less and give the other party fewer opportunities. Except for filming, you should try to stay at home as much as possible."
"good."
"Then you can tell me anytime if you need anything."
"I will."
Qiao Wanwan hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister, is Brother Lixuan alright?" Cheng Zaozao stepped forward and asked.
"He's fine. The bodyguard was injured, but not seriously."
"That's good." Cheng Zaozao said worriedly, "I really didn't expect these thugs to be so brazen, going straight to the film studio to shoot and kill people!"
“These mercenaries are all desperate criminals, ruthless and capable. There’s nothing they wouldn’t dare to do,” Qiao Wanwan said. “However, I heard from Jiang Dong that Jing Ting is quite intimidating. If it’s about assassinating Jing Ting, not many people would dare to take the job.”
“Everyone has witnessed my brother-in-law’s abilities.” Cheng Zaozao swallowed nervously and lowered her voice, “Sister, I heard Zhan Yin say that my brother-in-law’s interrogation methods are extremely terrifying. Anyone who falls into his hands will not have a good ending. That’s why the two people who were captured alive betrayed their companions, is that right?”
"I don't know," Qiao Wanwan said truthfully. "Jing Ting never tells me these things because they're too bloody."
"That means your brother-in-law has protected you very well," Cheng Zaozao joked with a smile. "Sister, you're so lucky."
Qiao Wanwan touched her face and said, "You will find your own happiness in the future."
Cheng Zaozao smiled slightly but didn't reply.
"By the way, Aunt Zheng told me that you have to go and reshoot a scene tomorrow?"
"Yes, it was a last-minute notice. I'll go there and be back soon."
Since it was for work purposes, Qiao Wanwan didn't object, but said, "Be careful."
"Yes, don't worry."
......
The suburbs were exceptionally quiet at night, with the occasional cawing of crows adding to the eerie atmosphere.
The black figure walked up the stairs, appearing even more eerie under the lights.
"You've arrived." The foreign man at the head of the group was eating steak with a knife and fork. "Make yourself at home."
"There's no Zhan Jingting protecting us today," the man in black said in a cold voice. "You can't even handle this small matter properly, that's unacceptable."
“But you didn’t say Wen Lixuan also had a gun.” The leader pointed to his men. “My men were injured, but thankfully it was just a scratch, otherwise our cooperation would have to be terminated.”
The man in black's face, hidden behind his mask, darkened. "You said it yourself, it was just a scratch, but you didn't complete my mission."
"Don't rush." The leading man ate his steak unhurriedly. "If the mission fails, I will continue until it succeeds."
“That would be for the best,” the man in black said coldly. “However, such opportunities will not be many, and the chances of you being exposed will increase as you attempt assassinations multiple times. Once you are caught by the police, or fall into Zhan Jingting’s hands, I cannot save you.”
The man in the lead's expression changed, and he slammed the knife and fork in his hand on the ground. "My two brothers are suffering in your Chinese police station right now! You really can't help them at all, yet you have the nerve to come here and make sarcastic remarks!"
"They are incompetent themselves, so they can't blame me."
"Yes, people like us can't blame fate or others even when we die."
"Good to know," the man in black sneered. "Besides, I've already increased your payment several times over. I'm here to warn you, next time, you can only succeed, failure is not an option, or my boss will be unhappy..."
The leading man watched his departing figure, his hands clenched into fists...
The motorcycle drove away from the unfinished building in the night, unaware that a tracking device had already been attached to the vehicle and was moving with it!
"Give the order to send men to follow him. Maybe we can find the mastermind behind him!" Jiang Dong said excitedly. "I'll report to Master Zhan right away!"
When Zhan Jingting received the call, he was at home reading with his two children. He got up, went to his study, and turned on his computer to check what had just happened in the unfinished building.
Zhan Jingting checked the tracker's location and saw that it stopped moving after entering a certain area.
Jiang Dong quickly found out on the other side, "Master Zhan, this is a car wash. If he went to get his car washed, our tracking device will be quickly destroyed by the high-pressure water gun, even if it is not discovered."
Zhan Jingting made a decisive decision: "We can't lose this lead, arrest them immediately!"
"yes!"
As Jiang Dong expected, a dozen minutes later, the computer showed that the tracker had fallen off after getting wet!
Fortunately, the people he had arranged had already set off in the direction of the tracker, so it wouldn't take too long!
Before the people from Jiangdong could even arrive at the car wash, the Sky Eye system saw the man in black riding away on his washed motorcycle!
Jiang Dong left the command post. "He's already gone. He's on Jinsha Road now, heading towards Zhongshan Street. You guys need to hurry, we can't let him get away!"
"yes!"
About twenty minutes later, the people from Jiangdong finally caught up with the motorcycle, intercepted him at an intersection, forced him to stop, and then surrounded him!
"Don't move!"
The bodyguard got out of the car and raised his gun, signaling, "Turn off the engine and put your hands up!"
The man in black on the motorcycle did as he was told, turning off the engine and slowly raising his hands.
The bodyguard approached him warily. "Slowly take off your helmet!"
