Chapter 479: Chapter 479

"Speak!" one of the bodyguards shouted.

"Go ahead, kill me if you dare!" the man cried out in pain, his tone provocative.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a fist landed on him, with full force, but he made no attempt to resist, as if he had been prepared for it.

In less than a minute, the man fell to the ground, his body starting to convulse uncontrollably.

Clearly, he had lost the ability to move.

"What’s happening outside has nothing to do with you, mind your own business," a bodyguard said coldly, looking toward the control room, then added, "Don’t rush to close the door, someone will bring the compensation over later."

Hearing this, the shop owner quickly wiped his sweat off his forehead: It really has nothing to do with me, I don’t know anything.

Ah, lucky that my wife went back first!

He had been keeping his head down, not daring or wanting to look, but hearing the bodyguard say this, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately after, the talking bodyguard grabbed the middle-aged man’s arm, and another lifted his legs, and they roughly carried the now paralyzed man out the back door.

There, a narrow alley led to an oppressively quiet area. Dıscover more novels at novel⁂fire.net

Under the dim streetlight, a black SUV stood with its door already open, its interior light illuminating a small area around it.

Ding Hui was gripping the steering wheel.

Soon, the bodyguards shoved the middle-aged man into the backseat of the SUV; he curled up limply, his mouth smeared with blood.

He knew what awaited him, and that it would not be pleasant, but he could only let pain and fear spread within him.

Ah, I’ve been too careless, much too careless!

That girl... no ordinary girl!

Quickly, the SUV slowly drove out of the alley and merged into the traffic on the main road.

At the same time, in a smoothly driving van, Leng Lingxiao was sitting in the back seat, watching Tang Xiaowan gnawing on a pig’s trotter with a complex expression.

If anything had happened...

Leng Lingxiao involuntarily clenched his fist again.

He always acted discreetly, avoiding media attention unless it involved significant events like today’s wedding dress photoshoot with Tang Xiaowan.

Afterwards, to avoid attention, they rode a motorcycle with Zhao Renjie covering their tail.

There’s no way they could be tracked!

Could it be Shen Shiyi’s people, Wang Junchen?

No, he wouldn’t dare take such a risk.

Just then, a soft, glutinous voice interrupted Leng Lingxiao’s thoughts.

"Huahua... I’m telling you, that short guy... was definitely sent by Wang Junchen," Tang Xiaowan said, clutching the pig’s trotter, her big eyes wide.

Hmm, indeed... not very tall.

Certainly not compared to his impressive height; probably only 170 cm.

Without realizing it, the man’s lips slightly curved up.

"Really, my intuition is very accurate," Tang Xiaowan explained seriously, biting into the skin of the pig’s trotter, "Wang Junchen must want to know the whereabouts of that child, using me to threaten granny. I sensed something off about that short guy as soon as he entered, luckily I reacted quickly and got the upper hand."

"Okay, I see, eat slower," Leng Lingxiao nodded and handed her a bottle of mineral water.

"Thanks to you insisting I practice self-defense... it really came in handy. I need to practice more, yeah, really need to work on it."

"Of course, I’ve watched you grow up, don’t I know you? Would I ever harm you?"

"Watch and watch, and you’ve turned into my wife!"

These words were spot on, from helping her braid her hair, to wiping her nose, to teaching her various self-defense techniques, watching over her and accompanying her all the way.

Later, as he grew older, his feelings changed, from an older brother to a secret admirer.

Now, at last, it’s come full circle!

"Little rascal!" Leng Lingxiao smiled, gently tweaking Tang Xiaowan’s nose, his eyes filled with adoration.

"Wow, Huahua, look, it’s sparklers!"

Leng Lingxiao followed Tang Xiaowan’s gaze, and saw many people gathered in the square outside the car window, with dazzling sparklers bursting in the night sky.

"Let’s go down and take a look."

"No need, no need." Tang Xiaowan said with a smile, then took off her disposable gloves and closed the takeout box, "I was thinking... when we have our wedding... could we also have some?"

Leng Lingxiao nodded in strong agreement, "Mm, not bad, good idea!"

"Wow, it’s really beautiful!"

"Yes, it looks like little stars in the sky."

They weren’t far from Lingxiao Manor now, and there were still two cars following them, but Zhao Renjie was still on high alert, not daring to relax.

His eyes sharp, he pondered Tang Xiaowan’s recent words, feeling an itching hatred towards Wang Junchen.

Again and again... but not a third time.

This was forcing their master to wipe you out completely!

Meanwhile, at Nanfeng Mansion.

After finishing a phone call, a man with white at his temples stood respectfully before Tang Mei and reported, "It’s been confirmed, there are six individuals, all foreigners. The one who was captured... the young lady used stainless steel chopsticks, and it was a one-strike victory."

The man’s voice was low and somewhat hoarse, but it also conveyed a hint of pride and expectation.

This man was none other than Uncle Quan who had narrowly escaped death.

During last year’s explosion, although Uncle Quan had managed to escape the scene with the help of a few Shen Shiyi members, he was severely injured and his appearance ruined, it took him a whole year to recover.

He had trusted Wang Junchen too much.

Even now, he couldn’t bring himself to believe that the mastermind was the child he had personally trained.

"Mm, there’s finally some improvement!"

"How should the remaining five be dealt with, do we need to verify further?" Uncle Quan asked for instructions.

In his memory, Tang Mei, whether as a doctor or as a university professor, had always been extremely gentle, but as the founder of Shen Shiyi, she was decisively ruthless.

She never hesitated when dealing with traitors, and these five strangers wouldn’t make her show mercy either, anyone who dared to target her granddaughter was signing their own death warrant.

"No need, just eliminate them."

Indeed, Tang Mei didn’t hesitate.

"Yes, I’ll arrange it right away."

After Uncle Quan left, Wang Jinhui immediately entered, cheerily carrying a bowl of bird’s nest soup, his newly dyed hair meticulously combed, and he even wore a jewel-blue tie, looking exceptionally spirited.

Tang Mei saw him and smiled slightly, leisurely walking over to sit on the sofa, "Right on time."

"Didn’t you say eleven o’clock?" Wang Jinhui answered earnestly, "That person who just left... what’s his name? He seems about our age, maybe sixtyish?"

Tang Mei smirked: Quite the gossip!

She smiled as she took the bird’s nest soup, savoring a taste, deliberately avoiding Wang Jinhui’s question.

"That man, has he been with you for many years, and does he know Granny Yu and Li Fugui... Where are you planning to place him?"

These days, Tang Mei had embedded quite a few Shen Shiyi members in Nanfeng Mansion, all young and agile adults, the only exception being Uncle Quan who arrived in the evenings, an elderly man with white at his temples.

Young people aren’t a concern, but the elderly are focused on?

Tang Mei slowly put down her spoon and replied with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "Uncle Quan, Junchen’s mentor."

Hearing this, Wang Jinhui was inwardly shaken.

"That old man just now... He’s Junchen’s mentor! When did he become a disciple? How come I didn’t know about such a big deal?"

Tang Mei raised an eyebrow, "There’s a lot you don’t know!"

"Didn’t you tell me everything? Why are there still secrets?" Wang Jinhui asked, surprised.
