"Not bad. If you can release a few more new songs, I'll definitely give you a big surprise," Meng Lianxin said, looking thoughtfully at Su Yang's crotch.
"Tch, music is just my hobby. I'll think about new songs when I'm in the mood," Su Yang replied.
As they chatted, Yang Mange and the others had already finished picking out jewelry. Their purchases filled several shopping carts, and the store owners happily pushed the carts to deliver the goods. Those who didn't make a sale could only watch enviously.
Just then, Su Yang's phone rang. It was Lu Qi.
"What's up?"
"Boss, your subordinate just received news that Director Xu Jing was shot and killed by a mysterious person on his way back to the company."
"What? Where is he now?"
"Five hundred meters ahead of Century Company. The Security Bureau is on their way, and our people are also there."
"Alright, I'm coming over now."
Xu Jing was a director at Century Company and had been diligently managing and handling company affairs for Su Yang. His death outside the company, by gunfire, was highly unusual. Su Yang instructed Yang Mange and the others to be careful and return to the villa to wait.
...
Five hundred meters straight ahead of Century Tower.
The window of a black Maybach was shattered, resembling a spiderweb. Xu Jing had been shot in the chest and died in his seat. The car had crashed and stopped by the roadside tree. Lu Qi was the first to arrive with his men, as one of his subordinates had been patrolling nearby. A group of retired soldiers scanned their surroundings vigilantly, anticipating another ambush from the sniper. Security Bureau personnel arrived shortly after and cordoned off the scene. The soldiers, holding up shields, kept a watchful eye in all directions.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
A Lamborghini stopped, and Su Yang walked to the crime scene. He looked at Xu Jing, whose body was already cold, killed by a single shot.
Lu Qi said softly, "Boss, your subordinate thinks there might have been more than one sniper."
"Why?"
Lu Qi pointed to the tire of the black Maybach, where there was also a bullet hole. "Snipers usually don't fire two shots simultaneously. The first one missed, and another immediately followed up to kill Director Xu."
"That makes sense. Be careful, everyone."
Su Yang narrowed his eyes and used his clairvoyance to scan the distance. After a while, he spotted someone lying on the rooftop of a building a kilometer away, aiming a gun at him. Su Yang didn't alert anyone else and continued searching for other snipers. After scanning four or five times, he discovered a total of three snipers positioned in a triangular formation, aiming at the entrance of Century Company. These individuals were clearly targeting Century Company and specifically its senior administrators. Xu Jing was unlucky enough to be the first victim.
Su Yang turned around. "At the three, nine, and twelve o'clock positions, there are a total of three snipers. They are aiming at me, so don't move. Lu Qi, send a message to Chu Tianye and have him bring the Dragon Blood Warriors to capture those snipers quickly, preferably alive."
"Yes, Boss." Lu Qi didn't dare to look up, pretending to inspect the car while quickly composing and sending a message to Chu Tianye. Su Yang moved left and right, constantly changing his position. It wasn't that he was afraid of being hit by a sniper, but he was buying time. Such well-trained snipers wouldn't shoot carelessly. Su Yang calculated that they could accurately shoot Xu Jing from a kilometer away. These snipers were skilled, and their equipment was not ordinary. Who could it be?
Upon receiving the order, Chu Tianye departed from the children's playground. Fifteen minutes later, he reached the locations of the three snipers. Chu Tianye waved, and the soldiers behind him moved forward stealthily. Even though they moved quietly, the snipers detected them. These snipers had keen senses of smell and hearing. They quickly got up and fired their weapons.
"Kill!" Chu Tianye waved, and over a dozen Dragon Blood Warriors opened fire simultaneously. Since they couldn't capture them alive, they decided to kill them decisively to prevent their own men from getting injured. The sniper was hit by several bullets, stumbled back a few steps, and fell from the dozens of stories high building. Chu Tianye replied to the message expressionlessly. The other two teams acted simultaneously and in sync. Only one of the three snipers was captured alive, his legs bleeding profusely.
A short while later, Chu Tianye brought the injured sniper to Su Yang, throwing him on the ground. "Leader, two dead, one injured."
"Good." Su Yang didn't have time to marvel at the power of the Dragon Blood Warriors. He reached out and grabbed the sniper. "Speak, who sent you?"
"I don't know. I was just following orders!"
"If you don't tell me, I have plenty of ways to make you talk!" Su Yang kicked the sniper's legs several times. Already injured, the sniper gritted his teeth in pain.
"You, kill me!" Snipers either kill their target with one shot or leave immediately. However, after killing Xu Jing, he had taken a gamble by not changing his position and hadn't expected Su Yang to find them. The sniper knew he was doomed and didn't beg for mercy. Su Yang kicked him a few more times. These snipers were truly stubborn. He then used his clairvoyance on the sniper. In the past ten days, besides practicing shooting, the sniper had only met Shangguan Yi. As expected, the people sent by the Shangguan family to protect Shangguan Yi in Songhai had successfully removed an obstacle for him. Shangguan Yi was drinking and having fun at the Tianhua Supreme Hotel, instructing his subordinates to kill. Su Yang understood that this was Shangguan Yi's way of sending him a message. With a "crack," Su Yang twisted the sniper's neck.
"Boss, do you know who sent them?" Lu Qi felt a chill down his spine, sensing death lurking nearby.
"It was Shangguan Yi. You handle Xu Jing's affairs first."
"Yes, Boss." Su Yang looked at Chu Tianye. "You take your men to guard Century Company, Wuyou Media Company, Wanbaozhai, and the Music Academy separately. If anyone tries to cause trouble, kill them without mercy!"
"Yes, Leader!" Chu Tianye saluted and waved, leading his warriors away. The hundred men divided into four teams and went to guard the four locations. Su Yang turned over the sniper's body and casually took a photo, posting it online.
...
Tianhua Supreme Hotel.
Shangguan Yi, who was drinking, heard his phone ring. He thought the sniper had succeeded. Upon checking, he saw a photo of the sniper's corpse. Shangguan Yi realized that Su Yang was not dead and had instead killed his subordinate.
"He's got some skills. That's good. If you were too short-lived, I wouldn't have any fun." Shangguan Yi was not angry, and he couldn't care less about the deaths of those snipers.
Lin Feng noticed his changing expression and asked, "Young Master Shangguan, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, just a nobody." Lin Feng took out his phone, flipped through a few photos, and handed them to Shangguan Yi. Shangguan Yi took them and saw pictures of Su Yang and Duan Wanjun drinking and embracing each other at the children's playground. Looking at Duan Wanjun's disheveled appearance and her satisfied smile, Shangguan Yi realized his fiancée had been taken.
"This damned insect! How dare he touch my woman?" Shangguan Yi was so angry that he crushed his phone on the spot, his face contorted with rage, but he quickly resumed his normal smile.
"Such strong self-control. He can endure this? That's terrifying!" Lin Feng was not surprised but pleased. It was good to follow such a person; at least he wouldn't let anger cloud his judgment. At this moment, Shangguan Yi looked at the beauties at the next table: the Duan Linglong sisters, Bai Xin Hui from the Bai family, and Liu Jia Qi from the Liu family. Shangguan Yi thought that these women were all connected to Su Yang. Su Yang had first killed his subordinate and then stolen his fiancée, Duan Wanjun. Shangguan Yi gritted his teeth. He wanted to take these women to disgust Su Yang and, at the same time, win over the four great families.
"Lin Feng, accompany me to toast them."
"Okay." The two walked over to the table with many beautiful women. Shangguan Yi smiled politely. "Ladies, do you mind if I join you?"
