"Alright, Chairman, I'll head to HR right away and have them draft a notice!"
Lin Guoxiong stated directly before going to the human resources department to handle the reward matters.
"Xiao Wuji's troubles are completely resolved. I estimate Xiao Wuji will be so angry he could rise from the dead upon seeing Haitong Group's announcement. However, that King Killer from the Death God Assassin organization hasn't shown his face for days since his last appearance. I wonder what schemes he's brewing!"
Lu Yang mused inwardly. He knew that as a top assassin, he wouldn't expose himself to the enemy unless absolutely necessary. Therefore, the King Killer must be plotting something, though Lu Yang couldn't guess when the plan would be executed.
Just as Lu Yang was contemplating this, Bai Shumin called.
"Vice President Lu, President Shen is missing. I called her this morning, and she still hasn't arrived. This is not in line with President Shen's habits. Her phone has been unreachable, and I'm currently at President Shen's house, but there's no one here!"
Bai Shumin said anxiously over the phone.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yang's first thought was that Shen Yiman had been kidnapped. The most likely culprit for kidnapping Shen Yiman was that King Killer from the Death God Assassin organization.
"Vice President Lu, what should we do? What if something happens to President Shen!"
As Bai Shumin spoke, she couldn't help but start crying.
"What's the use of crying? Stay where you are, don't run around, I'll be there soon. Remember, absolutely do not call the police!"
Lu Yang said directly. He knew that calling the police would be useless against a King Killer; any number of ordinary police officers would just be sent to their deaths.
What Lu Yang intended to do was search for clues at Shen Yiman's residence.
"Okay, I won't call the police!"
Bai Shumin quickly agreed.
Soon, Lu Yang drove to Shen Yiman's villa. Inside, apart from Shen Yiman's personal belongings, there was nothing else. There were no signs of a struggle. It was clear that the King Killer had acted with impeccable precision, leaving no clues behind, not even a footprint.
However, Lu Yang could sense a killing intent in the air, a palpable aura left by someone who had killed many people.
Lu Yang was certain that Shen Yiman had been abducted from her own villa.
"Lu Yang, how is it? Did you find any clues?"
Bai Shumin, standing nearby, immediately asked.
"Shen Yiman was taken by a powerful assassin, but she won't be in any life-threatening danger. This assassin is after me, and as long as they haven't killed me, they won't harm Shen Yiman!"
Lu Yang pondered for a moment, then said to Bai Shumin.
"What? An assassin?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Shumin's body tensed instantly. She looked at Lu Yang and continued, "What are we going to do? Neither you nor President Shen can be harmed! How could there be an assassin?"
Bai Shumin was just an ordinary person and had never encountered an assassin. Now, hearing that an assassin had kidnapped Shen Yiman, with Lu Yang as the target, she immediately turned pale with fright.
"It's just an assassin. I've killed quite a few assassins in my time. I'll handle this matter. You go to work; I'll bring President Shen back safely!"
Lu Yang said with a slight smile.
"But..."
Bai Shumin wanted to say more, but seeing Lu Yang's determined gaze, she ultimately didn't speak. The only person she could trust now was Lu Yang.
Lu Yang dropped Bai Shumin off at the company and then sat in his office, waiting for the King Killer. He knew that the King Killer would contact him and would have everything arranged to lure Lu Yang into a trap. The timing would likely be tonight.
As expected, at ten o'clock that night, Lu Yang's phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. Lu Yang answered directly.
"Hello, is this Mr. Lu Yang?"
A very magnetic voice asked from the other end.
"It is!"
Lu Yang replied.
"Mr. Lu, your girlfriend is currently in my possession. I assume you already know. I'll give you two choices: either collect your girlfriend's corpse, or come to the abandoned factory on the outskirts now and obey my commands. Choose yourself!"
The assassin on the other end spoke very politely. If one only listened to the tone, one would never guess these words were spoken by an assassin.
"Alright, give me the address. I'm on my way!"
Lu Yang said calmly.
"Haha, I didn't expect Mr. Lu to care so much about his girlfriend. In that case, you should head to the abandoned factory at xxxx now. My patience is limited; I'll give you only ten minutes!"
The King Killer laughed coldly and then hung up the phone.
At this abandoned factory, in addition to the King Killer and Shen Yiman, there was another woman: Tang Ziqi. Tang Ziqi had been serving the King Killer every day for the past few days. Although she had been through hell, Tang Ziqi gritted her teeth and endured it for the sake of avenging her brother.
"Mr. Kyle, you must kill that bastard Lu Yang today. As long as Lu Yang, that bastard, is killed, I'll serve you for a month!"
Tang Ziqi said through gritted teeth.
"You? Heh, I have no interest in you anymore!"
"My target is this woman. After taking care of Lu Yang, I will properly enjoy this woman. This woman is far more beautiful than you!"
The King Killer, Kyle, set his sights on Shen Yiman. In terms of looks and figure, Shen Yiman was streets ahead of Tang Ziqi. When Kyle first came to China, he hadn't researched Chinese women extensively and thought that women like Tang Ziqi were already quite good. Now, he realized how terribly wrong he had been.
Hearing Kyle's words, Tang Ziqi's fists clenched in anger. A woman's appearance was something she valued most, and being called ugly to her face by Kyle was unbearable. But no matter how unbearable it was, Tang Ziqi could only swallow her pride, because a single bullet from Kyle could send her to see the King of Hell.
However, as long as Kyle could kill Lu Yang and then sleep with Lu Yang's girlfriend, it would be a tremendous good thing for their Tang family. Tang Ziqi felt a secret sense of satisfaction.
"As long as Mr. Kyle is happy, you can choose any Chinese woman. I also know another woman whose beauty is absolutely comparable to this woman. Most importantly, she is currently single. After killing Lu Yang this time, Mr. Kyle can enjoy that woman as well!"
Tang Ziqi immediately said to the King Killer.
"Oh? Who is it? Where is she now?"
Hearing Tang Ziqi's words, Kyle's interest was instantly piqued, and he immediately asked.
"She's Lu Yang's ex-wife, and also a member of our Tang family. She's a stunning beauty. But that good-for-nothing Lu Yang, after living with his ex-wife for three years, never touched her. Now she's waiting for Mr. Kyle to grace her!"
Tang Ziqi continued.
