1040: Chapter 1041: Consecutive Assassinations 1040: Chapter 1041: Consecutive Assassinations “After you, you’ll follow me.

I’ll be your master and she’ll be your mistress.

I’ll take care of you for life.

Plus, your name will be Ququ from now on.”

Xiao Chen spoke indifferently.

“Woof woof.”

Yorkshire barked twice and jumped into Xiao Chen’s arms.

Really a smart little dog, all fooled by its master.

Soon, the surveillance video arrived, and Xiao Chen handed it over to Hong Yi and others for analysis.

He then took Ququ to a nearby pet store to buy dog food and other supplies and to check Ququ’s health, not wanting to be an irresponsible master, as it would not only set a bad example for the dog but also harm it.

Such a small dog, what bad intentions could it have?

“I never expected that the boss, usually so fierce, is actually so caring.

I think he likes that little dog even more than you do.”

Lin Meng said with a laugh.

“If my husband weren’t caring, he wouldn’t spend so much money on building schools and supporting those who are ambitious.”

Jiang Meng said affectionately.

Just then, suddenly a small drone appeared outside the office window.

Jiang Meng and Lin Meng didn’t pay much attention to it.

However, at that moment, the drone shot a slender steel needle from a tube.

It was aimed right at Jiang Meng.

“Be careful!”

Lin Meng shouted and tackled Jiang Meng to the ground.

But the steel needle didn’t make it through.

The glass was quadruple-layered, tempered, and bulletproof.

Xiao Chen had spared no expense for Jiang Meng’s safety.

But even though no danger had occurred, Jiang Meng was still startled, and Lin Meng was quite frightened.

“Who exactly is trying to target me?”

Jiang Meng frowned.

She didn’t want to worry Xiao Chen, so she decided not to tell him.

But the situation was too strange.

First, there was food poisoning, and then a drone assassination.

Such tactics, unimaginable.

Who knows what might happen next?

Jiang Meng felt heavy-hearted.

Just at that moment, the alarm suddenly went off.

Secretary Jin ran in and shouted, “Chairman, there’s a fire, there’s a fire, run!”

Jiang Meng’s expression grew even graver.

A fire, indeed!

The tactics were getting worse each time.

Without further thought, under Ren Jing’s protection, Jiang Meng ran towards the exterior of the office building.

Although the fire was quickly brought under control.

This was Xinmeng Group, after all, their safety measures were top-notch.

The Xinmeng Group staff had extinguished the fire instantly, virtually no harm done, barely a false alarm.

Jiang Meng breathed a sigh of relief and was about to return.

Suddenly, a scream came from behind her.

A hand was caught by Ren Jing.

The dagger in the hand fell to the ground.

It was happening again!

Jiang Meng’s expression was very grim.

She didn’t plan to tell Xiao Chen, but Ren Jing had no choice but to inform him now, as the perpetrator’s intent was clear: to make Jiang Meng live in fear.

Such tactics were extremely vile and insane.

“Speak, who sent you?”

Before Ren Jing could finish asking, the assassin had already committed suicide.

Really had professional ethics.

Ren Jing furrowed his brow.

Soon, Xiao Chen came back.

“Honey, are you alright?”

Xiao Chen’s face was covered in frost, ominously cold as if it could freeze everything around him.

Yorkshire’s Ququ hid in his arms, shivering, obviously frightened as well.

“I’m fine, just got a bit scared.”

Jiang Meng said with a bitter smile, “I didn’t want to tell you initially, but it seems like they aren’t planning to give up.”

She then recounted the events that had happened.

Xiao Chen’s expression was icy cold.

At that moment, the phone rang, and it was Hong Yi.

“We found out, it was Duanmu Hai who ordered it, and the hitmen are from a northern Assassins Organization called ‘Skull Hall’.”

Hong Yi said.

It really was Duanmu Hai, he was seeking his own death!

Whether it was intended as a warning or they actually wanted to kill Jiang Meng, by doing this, they had touched his reverse scale.

Even scaring his wife wasn’t acceptable!

When he returned to the office, the office phone rang.

Xiao Chen went over and picked it up.

“Hello, nephew Xiao Chen, did you receive the gift I sent?”

On the phone, Duanmu Hai said proudly, “Unexpectedly, your wife is quite lucky to have dodged so many assassination attempts.

But do you think she can dodge the next time?

Listen to me, come back to the Duanmu Family, this is your only chance, otherwise, I might do anything.”

Threat!

It was a very direct threat, and Duanmu Hai didn’t seem to deny it at all.

“You won’t have a next time.”

Xiao Chen’s voice was exceptionally cold.

“What do you mean?”

Duanmu Hai was taken aback.

“Because I will kill you, I’ve warned you not to touch my family, but you just wouldn’t listen.

What, is the Aristocratic Clan that great?

I’ll show you that in my eyes, the Aristocratic Clan is nothing.”

Xiao Chen had truly harbored the intent to kill, someone had dared to touch his wife, and nothing less than killing could quench his rage.

“Heh, still tough-talking?

I’ll give you one day, hurry to Chaoyang City.

If you can’t make it, I assure you, you’ll never see your wife again.”

Duanmu Hai sneered, “Life only happens once, if you want to risk it, I don’t mind teaching you a lesson.”

“Don’t worry, you won’t live past tomorrow.”

Xiao Chen said coldly.

“Say whatever you want, but I’m only giving you until tomorrow.

Any later, and it’s all over.

Don’t blame me for being ruthless then!”

Duanmu Hai hung up the phone, revealing a ruthless smile.

He believed that Xiao Chen’s harsh words were merely out of anger.

But if Xiao Chen truly cared about Jiang Meng, he would definitely back down.

He had seen many such people, who act tough but won’t stand firm.

“Heh, Second Master, your move is indeed brilliant.

Such people are lowlifes; only such methods can make them submit.”

His subordinate laughed, “I reckon that Xiao Chen will soon come begging Second Master to take him back, hahaha.”

In the room, everyone laughed.

Apparently, no one thought anything unexpected would happen.

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Chen’s expression remained cold and murderous.

To make a move against his wife was to challenge his limits.

And those who challenge him, must die!

This time, the Duanmu Family had thoroughly provoked him.

Whether or not the Duanmu Family was truly connected to him didn’t matter; they had to be destroyed.

To him, Jiang Meng was not just his wife, his deeply loved woman, she was also the woman who had given him a second life.

The Duanmu Family had truly touched his reverse scale, crossed his bottom line.

“Liu Hong, help me take care of something!”

Xiao Chen made a call to Liu Hong.

“Boss, you say.”

Liu Hong was now the rightful Sect Leader of Yanzi Sect, with the Four Wang Yan and Eighteen Yun Yan by his side.

Though not very powerful himself, no one dared to touch him.

“Do you know where Skull Hall is?”

Xiao Chen asked.

“Yes.”

The intelligence network of Yanzi Sect was equally strong, and since Skull Hall was part of the Jianghu sects, finding it was easy.
