"That's not necessarily the case. Maybe someone saw you becoming my wife, fell into a jealous rage, and hired someone to kill you..." Zhu Bufan chuckled sinisterly.

"Asshole, cut the crap..."

Chu Qingcheng rolled her eyes. For all these years, she generally hadn't offended anyone, except maybe when she coldly downsized her staff.

But that surely wouldn't be enough to have someone send an assassin after her, right?

The very thought was terrifying.

Yet, the likelihood of that was almost zero.

Chu Qingcheng was no fool, let alone a brilliant business goddess. Only someone extraordinary could afford such a sniper assassin...

"If it's not that..."

Zhu Bufan analyzed, "Then it's very likely one of your business rivals!"

"In other words, your presence blocked someone else's benefits..."

Chu Qingcheng nodded in agreement. Zhu Bufan's reasoning made sense; this assassin came straight for her life, which indicates the culprit must be a business archenemy or a personal enemy.

But Chu Qingcheng didn't have personal enemies.

Thus, the only possibility left was a business rival.

Still, for the moment, Chu Qingcheng couldn't figure out who would be cruel enough to do this to her.

...

Right now, somewhere in Qingyang City, inside a luxurious building, a muscular man with an imposing stature stood with his hands behind his back, facing the floor-to-ceiling windows, his back turned to everyone else.

"Boss... failed... it failed..."

Not far away, the young assassin who Zhu Bufan had injured earlier looked at the muscular man's silhouette with a trembling voice, full of terror.

"Failed?"

Hearing this, the corners of the muscular man's mouth twisted into a malicious smile, "Since you failed, why did you even come back?"

"Begging the boss to spare my life..."

"Spare your life? Haha..."

The man's grin turned strange and sinister, suddenly becoming ferocious, "Dared to fail and still came back, someone take him away... carry out the punishment for failure!!"

"Boss, no, please, no..."

The young assassin was as if hearing the tolling of Hell's bells, his expression filled with horror.

He knew what the so-called punishment entailed.

It was a fate far more terrible than being crushed to pieces!!!

"Boss... what's the next step?"

Behind the muscular man, a bald man appeared very anxious.

"A bunch of useless trash, can't even handle this simple task... Continue with the plan as scheduled!!"

The muscular man's lip twitched slightly, he flicked the cigarette end from his hand, crushed it fiercely underfoot, and said with a vicious look, "Anyone who opposes us, I will make sure you wish you were dead!"

...

Under normal circumstances, after such an incident, Chu Qingcheng should have returned to the company.

But she insisted on completing her inspection in the factory.

Although Zhu Bufan was her personal bodyguard,

since this was a factory under Chu Qingcheng's company, it was supposed to be absolutely safe, so Zhu Bufan chose to wait outside for her.

Just as Chu Qingcheng walked into the factory, her phone suddenly started ringing.

Subconsciously opening her phone, Chu Qingcheng couldn't help but let out a wry smile, it was actually her weird and wonderful cousin calling.

Isn't she abroad??

"Hello... Cousin?"

"Why are you answering the phone only now? I've come back from abroad, and I'm now in Qingyang City, you need to come and pick me up quickly..."

A young girl's voice came through the phone, a voice filled with a hint of reproach and excitement.

Hearing this voice, Chu Qingcheng's brows frowned slightly, showing helplessness. Her rosy lips revealed a rare smile, "Yingying ah... your cousin is really too busy right now, I truly can't leave..."

On this point, Chu Qingcheng really hadn't deceived her.

Because right now, she had to go on an inspection, and the factory manager and supervisors were all waiting for her grand arrival.

If she didn't go now, it would definitely have a negative impact.

"Ah? Cousin, how can you do this?" The girl on the phone muttered, sounding depressed.

"..." Chu Qingcheng was also somewhat helpless.

"Let's do it this way, I'll just come over by myself. Cousin, send me your location, I'll come directly and wait for you... Later, we can go back together."

The girl pursed her lips, huffed a couple of times, "But, at that time, you have to take me out for a big meal, Cousin, as compensation."

"Fine!"

Chu Qingcheng couldn't help but rub her forehead.

This lively and lovely cousin has actually come back to the country, it seems she's in for more trouble.

You should know, this girl has been too active since she was young, and she likes to stir up trouble. Coming to Qingyang City this time, it would be strange if she didn't cause any incidents.

Chu Qingcheng entered the factory while Zhu Bufan stood outside, lighting a cigarette.

Taking a deep drag, and looking around the environment, Zhu Bufan fell into memories of the past.

Without realizing it, Zhu Bufan's mind was filled with the faces of his past good brothers, those companions who had fought side by side on the battlefield, brothers in life and death.

Those memories made of blood and tears filled Zhu Bufan's heart with countless emotions.

Remembering this brought a slight tremble to the corner of Zhu Bufan's eyes as if tears were about to emerge.

The bond with those brothers was irreplaceable even by sacrificing one's life.

"I wonder, aside from Black Tiger and Falcon, how the other brothers are doing now?"

After taking another deep puff of his cigarette, his chiseled and mature face flashed with a world-weariness that seemed beyond his years.

"What kind of crappy car is this... Dad is really too stupid, always buying me this kind of trashy car... Hmph... It's absolutely infuriating!!"

Not far away, in a blue limited edition Lamborghini sports car, sat a rosy-cheeked young girl, extraordinarily beautiful, like a delicate sculpture, extremely cute.

Her naturally black hair tied into a ponytail, wearing ultra-short denim shorts and a blue denim jacket above, very stylish.

"It's so annoying... Cousin isn't even coming to pick me up."

Thinking about this, Jiang Xinying couldn't express how frustrated she was, all the anger in her heart directed towards the car for now.

If ordinary people saw this Lamborghini being treated like this, they would definitely say, having money means being capricious as hell.

Damn it, this car could be something someone with an annual salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars would save up for a long time.

"Stupid broken car, just die..."

Jiang Xinying's enticing, plump lips bit down tightly, very angry.

Obviously, she didn't realize any so-called danger, and kept tapping on the steering wheel with her hand.

Her tender little feet recklessly trampled on the car, venting mercilessly.

Pouting petulantly, after a bout of venting, Jiang Xinying finally calmed down a bit.

However, just when she calmed down, something bad happened...

"What... what's going on?" Panic and surprise filled Jiang Xinying's voice.
