A City.
In a remote corner of this bustling city, the Water Ball Cooperation headquarters is located here.
The few officials who just returned to A City were in a hurry to go to the headquarters to report the situation of their trip to Chief of Staff An. They felt sowhat uneasy because before their departure, Chief of Staff An had repeatedly instructed them to bring Jiang Cheng over. Although Jiang Cheng agreed to co to A City to help, when will he actually arrive? Does this trip count as fulfilling the mission?
Is Chief of Staff An satisfied with such a result? The people had no idea.
After entering the headquarters, the slightly older official went straight to Chief of Staff An's office, and the smiling female secretary at the door stopped him.
"I have an urgent matter to see Chief of Staff An!" the official said.
"I'm sorry! Chief of Staff An is currently receiving guests and cannot be disturbed."
The female secretary replied with a smile.
"I must report the situation of the mission execution to Chief of Staff An as soon as possible. The outco of this mission is very important for him."
The female secretary tilted her head and smiled, "I'm afraid the gentleman inside is more important to Chief of Staff An!"
The older official silently cursed the entire family of the female secretary. Helplessly, he turned around and left.
"By the way, can you tell who is Chief of Staff An's guest?" The official couldn't hold back his curiosity.
"It's Mr. Jiang," the female secretary emphasized, "You know, that Mr. Jiang!"
The older official gasped in surprise and asked, "Mr. Jiang?"
The female secretary nodded affirmatively.
"Impossible! When we left Mr. Jiang's house, he hadn't set off yet, and we didn't stop for a mont. We took the official transport aircraft, which can't be faster than him!" He looked suspiciously at the female secretary, "The Mr. Jiang you're talking about is the famous Mr. Jiang?"
This ti the female secretary ignored him, not needing to give him attention.
The older official could only shut up, obediently waiting on one side for An Yang's summons.
The door opened, and two people ca out of the room. Who else could the person walking in front be, if not Jiang Cheng? The female secretary glanced at the official whose eyes were wide open and face full of disbelief and smiled secretly in her heart.
"Lisa, imdiately book a room at Xianglishe Grand Hotel, and make sure it's one of the best! Also order a table of dishes," Chief of Staff An smiled and told Jiang Cheng, "I rember the last ti you said the hotel's environnt was nice, and you especially liked their chef's sweet and sour fish, if I'm not mistaken?"
Jiang Cheng smiled and nodded.
To a certain extent, Xianglishe Grand Hotel is like a private club, where only high-ranking officials have the qualifications to dine inside. Lower-ranking officials can't even pass through the hotel's doors.
In the hotel's hall, Jiang Cheng and An Yang were enjoying the delicacies and sharing relaxed topics.
The table in front of them was filled with a few exquisite dishes.
"Co, try this. It's Hua Family's fifty-year-old premium liquor, specially supplied to the military."
Jiang Cheng picked up the wine glass, sniffed it, and a pungent aroma filled his nostrils. He took a gentle sip; it tasted smooth but had a strong punch.
"Not bad, this wine is really good," Jiang Fei praised.
"Having your praise is this wine's deserved honor; now have so food, your favorite sweet and sour fish," An Yang invited with chopsticks.
The two ate and talked, occasionally letting out light-hearted laughs.
On a secluded path outside Xianglishe Grand Hotel, Jiang Cheng and Chief of Staff An were having a post-dinner stroll, talking as they walked.
"If my analysis is correct, the person trying to assassinate you this ti is likely a werewolf from the Eske Planet," Jiang Cheng steered the conversation to the main topic.
Chief of Staff An nodded thoughtfully, "I share your thoughts. Recently, Water Ball has been constantly harassed by people from Eske Planet, so I devised a defense plan. It hasn't been fully completed yet, but sohow the information was leaked, followed by a series of assassination attempts on ."
He shook his head indignantly, "Targeting is nothing; I'm a key person and a person involved, but they even targeted An Xin. She's a student and just turned an adult, truly despicable!"
Jiang Cheng smiled at this old friend beside him, "You, you're still too upright. When it involves racial interests, there are worse ans than this."
An Yang exhaled deeply, smiling, "Anyway, with you here, I'm at ease and don't need to worry about anything anymore."
Just as Jiang Cheng was about to say sothing, a gunshot suddenly rang out. He reached out and caught the bullet that was heading for An Yang's chest.
Jiang Cheng's face turned stern as he coldly said, "These scoundrels, bothering us with this little vacant window of ti, truly hateful!"
He instructed Chief of Staff An's bodyguards sprinting forward, "Make sure to protect Chief of Staff An well, I'll be right back."
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed, and he disappeared.
Chief of Staff An's bodyguards stood there dumbfounded, looking at each other, almost believing they had seen a mirage. One of the bodyguards even rubbed his eyes.
Another bodyguard asked, "Chief An, that gentleman who talked with you the whole ti, who, who is he?"
An Yang looked towards the direction where Jiang Cheng disappeared, with a hint of admiration in his voice, "Mr. Jiang."
On the roof of a tall building next to Xianglishe Grand Hotel, the assassin angrily put down the sniper rifle in his hands, realizing his operation had failed.
The assassin carried a small flying device on his back and jumped out of the window.
The assassin's response was undoubtedly swift, but this ti, he encountered Jiang. After landing, the assassin hid his flying device behind his back and swiftly moved in the shadows behind the corners and trees. As he walked, he felt sothing was off.
As an assassin, he still had considerable reflexes.
With a swish, the assassin maintained his walking posture, but sent a hidden weapon from his sleeve aid at the back, whoever it was, kill first and find out later!
However, the sound of soone falling didn't happen as he expected.
The assassin suddenly turned around, seeing a young man with a tall figure and a frosty face holding the hidden weapon he released, coldly staring at him.
Having realized what's happening, the assassin wouldn't act stupidly like in movies asking, "Who are you?" He quickly leaped, pulling out a dagger flashing with Sai light, directed straight at the young man's throat.
As the dagger approached the young man's throat, the assassin couldn't help but show a cruel smile, thinking he succeeded.
But the heavy kick on his stomach announced the crushing of his dream!
The assassin's body curled like a shrimp, the sharp pain in his stomach rendering him unable to make any sound, the last thing he saw was the young man's cold eyes.
