Chapter 893: Someone Targeting the Shen Family?
"It must still be said, if it weren’t for you, those cultivators at home couldn’t have improved their strength so much in such a short time. In this, your contribution is indispensable. Now in the Shen Family, there are also three AAA-level peak masters. They all have the hope of breaking through to the S level. If any of them really breaks through to S level, by then, Uncle must thank you properly."
Shen Tian shook his head upon hearing Lin Feng’s words and insisted on saying this, which was also his sincere thought. If not for Lin Feng, the people of the Shen Family wouldn’t possibly have their current strength. All of this was because of Lin Feng. As polite as Lin Feng was, what needed to be said must still be said, and it was right to say it to Lin Feng.
"Uncle Shen, have some tea."
"Yes, good. Lin Feng, tell Uncle, how many women do you have now?"
"Well... it seems like quite a few around me."
"Yes, I know. For someone like you, it would be strange if there weren’t many women around. I’m not blaming you."
"I also don’t know how so many came to be by my side. It just ended up this way without my noticing."
"Wan’er didn’t object at all?"
"Not at all. In fact, several of the women were decided by Wan’er herself..."
"You are truly fortunate, a woman like Wan’er is rare nowadays."
"I feel the same. Even our marriage was arranged by my master; I had no way to change it."
"..."
...
After they finished discussing serious matters, Shen Tian and Lin Feng’s mood greatly improved, and they casually chatted away. Time passed quickly, and both felt at ease. This feeling made Shen Tian and Lin Feng very comfortable. The more they talked, the more in tune they felt with each other, reaching consensus on many topics, which made both of them very happy...
However, what they didn’t imagine in their dreams was that on the other side, Wan’er and Shen Yao were already facing a crisis...
...
When Wan’er and Shen Yao left the Shen residence, Uncle Fu had already arranged the protection as both ladies couldn’t afford to have any mishaps. Uncle Fu specifically dispatched six AA-level peak masters for their covert protection, which shows the importance placed on the safety of Wan’er and Shen Yao. Considering this was Yuegang, Shen Family’s territory, deploying such a strong protective contingent was truly extraordinary.
Wan’er and Shen Yao were of course aware of the guards following them but they didn’t mind, because without Lin Feng, their safety entirely depended on these people. Therefore, they didn’t trouble the guards, allowing them to follow.
However, today’s events weren’t as smooth as yesterday’s. No sooner had they entered the mall than the guards sensed something off. There seemed to be indescribable dangers in the mall. One person sensing a problem could be overlooked, but when all six felt it, that was clearly significant. Without a second thought, they immediately pulled the two ladies back, planning to return to the Shen mansion first.
Just as they were about to get into the car, suddenly, five individuals appeared, all dressed in black casual clothes. They looked like ordinary people, but the overwhelming aura of killing they emanated told the guards that these five were no ordinary people. Forced into this situation, they had no choice but to get Shen Yao and Wan’er to leave first while they held off these men.
"Ladies, quick, go home, leave this to us!" the leader of the guards shouted. It was a moment of utmost urgency. Although all six of them were AA-level peaks and had made considerable progress with Lin Feng’s guidance, the chill of deadly threat emanating from these five men in black was bone-deep. They didn’t need to think twice; these men in black were definitely assassins, and not just any ordinary assassins. At this moment, nothing was more important than ensuring Miss Ding and Miss Shen were not put at risk, so the only option was to have the ladies leave first.
"No, no, no, it’s too late to leave now, they are our targets, and not just you, no one can stop us." Old Three said calmly as he shook his head when he heard the guards. Anything the opponent could think of, these elite Dark Demons had already anticipated. When they had just gotten out of the car, they had already dealt with the driver and punctured the tires to prepare for this scenario. How could they possibly let these two women escape when the Boss wanted them?
Shen Yao and Ding Wan’er had never imagined that something like this would happen on the streets of Yuegang. Although the two women were scared, they still rushed towards the car, only to find the driver had been killed when they reached it, sending a chill down their spines as they realized trouble was imminent. The two women clung to each other, trembling, not knowing how to handle the situation before them, even forgetting to call Lin Feng. However, they didn’t know that even if they tried to call, they wouldn’t get through because the signal had been jammed.
"Brothers, protect Miss Ding, charge! Take them down first!" Hearing the opponent’s words, the leader of the Guard Squad saw the deflated tires and knew they couldn’t leave today. Nevertheless, they could not let these people kidnap Miss Ding and Miss Ding, as they truly would not be able to explain themselves to the Shen Family. With this thought, he didn’t hesitate at all, he called on his brothers to charge forward and take down the five men in black, hoping it might ensure the safety of the two women back to the Shen Family. Otherwise, they were ready to lay down their lives here.
Hearing their leader’s command, the remaining five men knew today’s battle would be fierce. Without hesitating, they followed their leader and charged at the individuals blocking their path. All of them were peak AA-level experts, and although they did not know the capability of their opponents, in a desperate situation, they still saw a glimmer of hope.
Suddenly, the six men burst forward, like Liu Dao winds, rushing towards the five men in black. At that moment, they had nothing else on their minds but to fight desperately. In their view, since there were only five opponents, even if they ended up both severely injured, at least one of them could still help Miss Ding and her companion escape safely back to the Shen family mansion.
However, reality was completely beyond their expectations. Though there were only five opponents, each of these men was exceptionally formidable, their skills comparable to AAA-level experts, and one of them was even more powerful. Despite the six guards fighting desperately, they could not avert their doomed fate and, before much time had passed, all six lay on the ground, lifeless...
Ding Wan’er and Shen Yao watched in horror as the six men died because of them, their hearts filled with immense grief. They deeply regretted going out today. Just as they thought this, the five young men approached the car.
"Ladies, there’s no need for us to take action now, right? I hope you are wise," said Old Three as he opened the car door for Shen Yao and Ding Wan’er, hoping not to make things more complicated.
Ding Wan’er and Shen Yao looked at each other, knowing there was no escaping this situation. They had no choice but to follow the instructions of the men in black; failing to comply would surely bring danger. Both women were intelligent, and despite their fear, they managed to suppress their panic, stepped out of the car, and got into the vehicle of the men in black.
The car quickly left the area, speeding away and soon disappearing from sight, leaving behind the bodies of six guards in the parking lot—everything had happened so swiftly that no one even noticed...
On the other side, Lin Feng was having a pleasant conversation with Shen Tian when Shen Tian suddenly received a call. Shen Tian waved to Lin Feng, signaling that he was going to answer the phone.
"Hello, what’s the matter?" Shen Tian asked. Getting a call at this time must mean something had happened, otherwise there wouldn’t be such urgency.
"Boss, it’s terrible. Almost simultaneously, many of our properties were raided. The shops along the streets and several factories were robbed clean, then set on fire. It’s a big problem!" The other end of the phone conveyed a voice filled with panic. Even as he had received reports of these incidents from his subordinates, he couldn’t believe it. Everyone in Yuegang knew the status of the Shen Family, no one dared to mess with them, but still, the incident had occurred, leaving him truly at a loss on how to manage the situation. He could only call Boss Shen Tian right away to decide on the next steps.
"What, how is this possible? Who has such audacity! Do you know who did this?" Shen Tian, originally sitting comfortably, stood up abruptly upon hearing this, his face turning steely as he asked. He couldn’t have imagined that such a thing would happen in Yuegang, that someone would dare to attack the Shen Family, it was suicidal. Although he was extremely furious, Shen Tian remained composed, his voice cold as he demanded to know who had the guts to do this.
"Boss, I don’t know who the other party is, but one thing is certain, they are all experts. The shops on the street were all smashed by one person, and the factories took only two or three people. All the guards didn’t even last a move before they were killed, Boss... what... what should we do now?"
The person on the other end quickly relayed what he knew when asked by Shen Tian. Honestly, he had also been taken aback when he heard this information; he had never imagined that so many experts would appear simultaneously to raid the Shen Family’s assets. This was absolutely abnormal, and he had to make Shen Tian aware.
"Alright, I know. Now, you immediately arrange for people to go to each affected location. Take care of two things: tally the losses and take care of and soothe the injured. If there are any casualties, count those as well. For other matters, wait for my further instructions."
Although Shen Tian was raging inside, upon hearing the specific details, a chill ran through him. He knew that someone indeed meant to take down the Shen Family. The strength of the opposition was clearly very formidable; just a few individuals had managed to destroy so many shops and factories, something ordinary people couldn’t do. This was obviously the work of a cultivator, otherwise such a situation wouldn’t occur.
With this realization, Shen Tian’s mind began to rapidly circulate, eager to find out who would have the audacity to target the Shen Family. However, as much as he racked his brains, he couldn’t figure out who the opposition could be. With no other option, Shen Tian could only first arrange for his men to do as he had instructed. Finding out who these people were would take time, but they had to appear in the shops and factories to resolve issues immediately, or the reputation of the Shen Family might suffer, which would be an even greater loss.
"Alright, Boss. I will make the arrangements now." The person on the other end agreed upon hearing Shen Tian’s instructions and hung up the phone, hurrying to do as Shen Tian had ordered—he had already arranged it, and that was what needed to be done first.
