Chapter 105 Something is going to happen
"Boss, that's a great idea! I'll definitely put on a good show. If someone really comes to steal it, there'll be no chance of recovery, let alone the money I've invested."
Xu Tianlan's interest was piqued when she heard Tian Zhenzhen's words; her boss really knew how to have fun!
"Yes, you need to be careful about safety. Since there are martial artists in your family, it's best to hire some martial artists to protect you in case of any accidents."
Although Tian Zhenzhen used Xu Tianlan as bait, she was still quite concerned about her safety.
"Boss, if you put it that way, I'll have to make some arrangements. I'll have to keep my life and work hard for you."
Xu Tianlan was not so afraid of these unknown dangers. Only by demonstrating her value could she become Tian Zhenzhen's right-hand woman.
"By the way, I own a jewelry store, and it's been having some problems lately. Could you arrange for some people to help manage it?"
Tian Zhenzhen's arrangements were perfectly reasonable; her collaboration with Xu Tianlan was based on Xu's abilities.
She doesn't directly manage these companies under her control.
She needed to know the annual profits of each company, and it was best to let Xu Tianlan manage them.
If it can make her money, she certainly won't interfere; but if the profits decrease significantly, then of course she'll change the manager.
Xu Tianlan listened carefully to Tian Zhenzhen's work arrangements, and by the time she left, she was fully recovered.
This busy life with her career is what Xu Tianlan is pursuing.
And this opportunity was given to her by Tian Zhenzhen.
Xu Tianlan acted quickly; the Xu family arranged for her to be protected by a Xiantian martial artist and two Houtian high-level martial artists.
She didn't deliberately hide the document anywhere; she carried it with her and put it directly into the safe when she arrived at the office.
Tian Zhenzhen still values Xu Tianlan highly and has been secretly sending Tian Daqiang to protect her.
Two days passed, and finally someone couldn't wait any longer and began to take action.
Today, the sky was covered with dark clouds. Tian Zhenzhen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass, looking at the dark clouds in the sky, which were flashing with lightning.
Suddenly, a thunderclap rang out, followed by a fierce wind that blew the leaves around.
The sky, which was originally at 10 a.m., suddenly turned dark, and the vehicles on the road and the streetlights on the side of the road all turned on their lights.
The entire city seemed to go from daytime to nighttime in an instant.
The rumble of thunder foreshadowed an unsettling situation.
The rain had already soaked Tian Zhenzhen's window, gradually blurring her view outside, leaving only the dazzling lights in the darkness.
Xu Tianlan is quite efficient; the office is already well-organized, and the recruiters are starting their jobs in an orderly manner.
Standing outside Xu Tianlan's door were two experts at the Acquired Realm protecting her, while an Innate Realm expert remained hidden in the shadows.
Xu Tianlan was processing the documents in her hands; she had been incredibly busy lately.
Just then, the light above Xu Tianlan's head flickered twice, as if the voltage was unstable.
Xu Tianlan looked up and saw that the lights had returned to normal.
Just as she lowered her head to work on the documents again, suddenly, all the lights in the room went out completely.
The room was plunged into complete darkness.
Xu Tianlan frowned. Could it be that the power lines short-circuited during the thunderstorm?
She got up and walked out of the office. It was pitch black outside, with only the light from the employees' cell phones shining through.
Not long after, someone reported to her that there was a problem with the power supply in the office building, and the property management staff were already repairing it, but it was uncertain when it would be fixed.
Looking out at the thunderstorm, Xu Tianlan felt uneasy, sensing impending danger.
Just then, a message came through on her phone. After arranging things for her employees, Xu Tianlan returned to her office to retrieve the documents, and then left the office building with her bodyguard.
Driving out, it was raining heavily outside, and visibility was poor. Driving on the road felt like being a ship sailing in the sea, constantly being washed by the rain.
After the vehicles left the main road, the number of vehicles on the road decreased significantly.
Just then, all the streetlights on the road suddenly went out, and Xu Tianlan's breathing became noticeably heavier.
Before she could calm down, the car braked suddenly. If she hadn't been wearing her seatbelt, she probably would have been thrown out of the car.
Xu Tianlan hugged the file bag containing ALA's information tightly, her gaze fixed on the front of the vehicle.
They discovered that two cars were parked in front of their vehicle, completely blocking the road.
The driver realized something was wrong and tried to turn around and leave, but the car stalled at the crucial moment and wouldn't start no matter what he did.
The fact that things happened so coincidentally suggests that it was clearly pre-arranged.
Xu Tianlan and her bodyguards both knew that danger was imminent.
Both bodyguards were martial artists at the advanced level of the Acquired Realm. Seeing that they couldn't escape, they chose to strike first.
Xu Tianlan hid behind the car, unaware that an invisible man was sitting next to her—it was Tian Daqiang.
As soon as the two bodyguards got out of the car, a gunshot rang out from the car opposite.
Both men were targeted by several pistols, but a martial artist is a martial artist after all; their reaction speed and physical strength are far beyond those of ordinary people.
Upon hearing the sound, the two quickly took cover; clearly, the bullets could only slow down their attack, not harm them.
Four men got out of one of the two cars ahead, each holding a gun and firing at the two men.
These are all well-known assassins; their marksmanship, if not 100% accurate, is at least 70-80% accurate.
In other words, they usually hit seven or eight out of ten shots, but they were clearly surprised by the speed of these two today.
Xu Tianlan's two bodyguards didn't just keep dodging; after figuring out the route, they attacked the four of them directly.
In another car, four people were sitting. They weren't surprised by what was happening in front of them; on the contrary, they were quite interested.
All four of them belonged to the Shadow Organization, which operates outside the law and recruits members who are either vicious criminals or people who would do anything for money.
There were no ordinary people inside; everyone had blood on their hands.
The man in the driver's seat was very strong, over two meters tall. If it weren't for the fact that it was a full-size SUV, he probably wouldn't have been able to fit in the vehicle at all.
He looked at everything that was happening before him and said through gritted teeth:
"It seems we'll have to make our move today. I thought we'd only be dealing with ordinary people, but I didn't expect to encounter two martial artists as well."
"It's been a while since I've fought any martial artists. I recently injected myself with a stronger version of the drug; I wonder if I can blow their heads off with a single punch."
The strong man had a ferocious smile on his face, and his eyes were filled with undisguised brutality, revealing his pale white teeth, which looked particularly creepy.
