Chapter 1 Speedrun and Forced Acquisition (03)
Xin Que and Cheng Zheng temporarily settled in Luo Huayi's winery.
“My role was that of Wen Kun’s trusted underling,” Luo Huayi said, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at Xin Que, “but it seems like I’m no longer of any value as an undercover agent.”
In a game where the outcome is overwhelming, there's absolutely no need to waste time infiltrating.
Xin Que prioritized Wen Kun's four major forces in the east, west, south, and north, aiming to clear the entire map without any cuts or damage in one life.
"The circle is in an uproar," Luo Huayi said, placing his phone in front of Xin Que. "Everyone is speculating whether you're a real usurper or just a fraudster."
The story had only just begun; Xin Que hadn't even shown herself to these people yet, which explained their astonishment.
When Wen Kun was dragged back in, he was already somewhat dazed.
"You... Luo Huayi?"
Despite his headache, he struggled to lift his eyes and look at Luo Huayi standing next to Xin Que. His voice, though filled with anger, was weak. "You fucking... dare to betray me?"
Luo Huayi ignored him.
Xin Que's sinister voice filled Wen Kun's ear, the one that hadn't yet been crippled, "If you step down now, I can still give you some face. But if you don't know what's good for you..."
Wen Kun: "???"
"Abdicate?" Wen Kun was almost amused by Xin Que's wild idea. "You're dreaming!"
"Let me tell you, those fools who dared to threaten me, without exception, all ended up dead..."
The gun was once again pointed at Wen Kun's eyes.
Wen Kun "..."
“Keep yelling.” Xin Que gestured with her chin at him.
Wen Kun remained silent and tried to back away, but there was a corner behind him, leaving him nowhere to retreat.
What about his other trusted confidants?
How come they still haven't realized he's in danger?!
Xin Que didn't expect Wen Kun to cooperate willingly from the start.
“Since you’re unwilling to have a peaceful transition,” Xin Que’s voice drifted lightly into Wen Kun’s ears, “then don’t blame me for using force.”
Wen Kun remained silent, his sharp eyes fixed on Xin Que, trying to stare a hole through her.
force?
What kind of fighting power does she have?
He initially scoffed at Xin Que, but then he thought of the pistol Xin Que had pulled out of thin air and her skillful killing techniques.
He still vividly remembers the corpses strewn all over the villa.
Wen Kun's heart gradually sank.
...
The first to venture out and probe the enemy's situation was Zhao Quanlong, the leader of the Tianlian Gang.
The man, with a sinister expression, sat in the van looking at the ruins of Wen Kun's villa not far away.
"It seems that what this woman said wasn't just empty talk."
"Boss," the underling turned to Zhao Quanlong and asked, "Mr. Wen hasn't replied yet."
"He seems to have... vanished into thin air."
In the dim light, the scars on Zhao Quanlong's face looked ferocious.
"Missing?" Zhao Quanlong chewed on the word repeatedly, and after a moment, he sneered.
Regardless of whether that woman's arrogant declaration was true or false...
But now is definitely a golden opportunity to steal Wen Kun's business.
"Have people continue investigating Xin Que's background. How could someone who could bring Wen Kun to this state be an ordinary person?"
Zhao Quanlong's voice was devoid of emotion, "By the way, tell Wen Kun's lackeys about the atrocities their good boss has suffered. Ideally, let them fight this woman named Xin Que."
Xin Que was simply a perfect target that fell from the sky, letting them tear each other apart, the more viciously the better.
It couldn't be more fitting for the Tianlian Gang to sit back and reap the benefits.
...
North District.
"Zhao Quanlong's men?"
The man raised his hand to adjust his gold-rimmed glasses, glanced at the customer who had come to his door through the lenses, and appeared to be a gentle and refined person.
"You're saying our boss has been kidnapped?"
Zhao Quanlong's henchman, all smiles, handed his phone to the man. "Mr. Ren, this is the threat our boss received, a complete screen recording."
“Everyone in the industry who has a name has been added to this group. This matter is causing quite a stir... But it only happened last night, and you weren’t in the city, so it’s normal that you didn’t receive the news immediately.”
When Ren Yi saw Wen Kun's disheveled appearance in the screen recording, his expression suddenly darkened.
Seeing that the fire had already been brewing, the underling immediately presented Xin Que's data with both hands, saying, "Our boss is grateful for Mr. Wen's kindness in helping him, so he specially asked me to bring you this woman's information."
"We also hope that Mr. Wen can return to the Wen family safely soon..."
Ren Yi's face was already frighteningly pale.
"Then I won't disturb your business any longer." Seeing that the time was almost right, the younger brother immediately got up to say goodbye and slipped away.
"How come we only found out about the danger the man was in by outsiders now?!"
Ren Yi cursed, "Where's Luo Huayi? What's he doing following the master around?!"
He angrily called Luo Huayi to demand an explanation for what had happened with Wen Kun.
The call was disconnected.
Any "???"
Hit again.
I've been blocked.
Any "!!!"
He snatched the phone from the secretary and continued making the call.
"Luo Huayi!" Ren Yi gritted his teeth, gripping his phone and roaring, "Is Mr. Luo safe right now?!"
Luo Huayi glanced at Wen Kun, who was half-dead but stubbornly alive, not far away, and said, "Is Schrödinger safe?"
"In a superposition of life and death... perhaps?"
Any "???"
So everything Zhao Quanlong's people said is true?
"Useless!" Ren Yi roared, "Are you a complete idiot? How could you let Mr. Ren be harmed like that?"
Luo Huayi frowned. "Didn't you see my post on WeChat Moments? From now on, my boss is Xin Que. Don't call me unless it's absolutely necessary."
"I'm afraid Xin Que will misunderstand."
Any "???"
“Say it again? Luo————”
The call was disconnected again.
Ren quickly checked his phone.
Luo Huayi's blatant surrender message was posted on her WeChat Moments.
Mutual friends have already posted a series of question marks below.
Ren Yi almost couldn't catch his breath.
Trouble arises from within!
Luo Huayi is probably a traitor lurking in the Wen family.
Just as Ren and his team were leaving the branch and heading to the city, an SUV crashed through the gate and barged in.
"Bang!!!"
Cheng Zheng got out of the car and opened the car door for Xin Que.
A traitor, a sickly, skinny man, and a woman with an inexplicably confident air standing between them.
He brazenly stood in front of Ren Yi and the hundreds of his henchmen.
Any "..."
She planned to surround their three hundred men with only three people?
"So you're Xin Que?" Ren Yi's eyes hardened as he thought of his boss still suffering. "Who gave you the audacity to provoke the Wen family?"
Xin Que spoke with righteous indignation, "You're accusing me of provoking the Wen family?"
She glanced at the tall, imposing thugs in front of her and sneered.
"To tell you the truth, Mr. Wen and I are currently engaged in a friendly and sincere transfer of power, but you are stirring up trouble behind the scenes for your own ulterior motives... This is intolerable!"
"As for my ulterior motives, I'll make them up when I get back. But right now, I'm going to purge the Wen family on Mr. Wen's behalf!!!"
Any "??????"
If he weren't the loyal one, given Xin Que's indignant demeanor, he almost would have believed Xin Que's lies.
