Nightshade Bar!
Located in what is known as Bar Street, this is also the liveliest bar! Those who frequent the nightlife know that Nightshade Bar has significant backing.
The owner of this bar is a woman!
But those in the know are well aware that this woman has a powerful background and is tough. In the underworld, she has a renowned moniker: Black Widow!
Therefore, no one ever dares to cause trouble at Nightshade Bar, and its business naturally thrives.
Not only that, but she controls this entire street. Even those in the underworld have to show her respect.
Although it is late at night, the bar is still crowded with many young men and women, or urban white-collar workers, relaxing here without restraint.
At the bar counter!
A stunningly attractive woman with a captivating figure is wiping a glass. Every movement she makes is alluring, yet she retains an air of elegance and composure.
But this exquisite beauty!
In the entire vast bar, no one dares to steal a glance at her because this woman is the 'Black Widow'.
At this moment, the Black Widow says with a look of disdain, "Dongzi, I think you're regressing. To be beaten up like this by a young man! You've really brought shame upon me!"
"Big sister! I... I didn't expect that kid to be so strong!" Beside her, Liu Zhendong, his right hand bandaged, looks utterly frustrated.
"Serves you right, it's time you suffered a loss and learned a lesson!" The woman gives him a glare and sighs, "There are still many masters in this world! Hearing what you've said, this person's strength is probably not simple!"
"He's certainly not simple. All twenty of my men were taken down by him. This guy is truly ruthless! If I hadn't surrendered, I fear he would have actually killed me!"
Liu Zhendong still feels a chill down his spine. He has encountered many ruthless individuals, but Ye Cangtian makes him feel wary even now.
The woman's hand, which was wiping the glass, pauses slightly, and she frowns, "When did Yangzhou gain such a figure? Have you investigated his background?"
Liu Zhendong quickly replies, "I have. His name is Ye Cangtian! On the surface, he's a mover in the shipping department of Haitan Building. In reality, he seems to be a son-in-law of the Tang family. Other than that, there's no other information about him."
"The Tang family?"
The woman shows a hint of a smile and murmurs, "I heard that the Tang family patriarch got a terminal illness and has been in a coma for two years. Even the renowned physician Mu Fangyuan was helpless. But today, there are rumors that Elder Tang's illness has suddenly recovered, and in three days, the Tang family will host a grand banquet to celebrate Elder Tang's birthday!"
"Dongzi, pick out a substantial gift for me later. We must attend this banquet!"
"Big sister, the Tang family isn't a top-tier family, and we don't have any business dealings with them. Do you really need to go in person?" Liu Zhendong asks with some surprise.
"What do you know!"
The woman glares at him displeasedly, then smiles and says softly, "The obscure Tang family actually has such a mysterious son-in-law. I'm becoming more and more interested."
...
Haitan Building, Security Booth!
"Front desk Li, got a new car? What? Bought it for your boyfriend? Are you still in need of a boyfriend?"
Ye Cangtian, wearing a security uniform, waves through familiar cars with a bright smile, "Next time you change boyfriends, remember to find me!"
In the past two days, he has been blending in seamlessly in the security department, especially with the attractive girls, where he can strike up conversations.
Now, many people in the company recognize him, and the receptionists are particularly familiar with him.
"Little Liu, you're already a supervisor, why are you still delivering goods!" Seeing a transport truck approach, Ye Cangtian greets Liu Han, who is driving, with a smile.
After the manager of the transport department, Manager Wang, offended Tang Xinwan over the phone last time and was subsequently fired, the position of transport department manager became vacant.
The HR department decided to promote the experienced Liu Han to supervisor, temporarily acting as manager. In essence, he's equivalent to the transport department manager, but the higher-ups are still evaluating Liu Han's capabilities.
Liu Han leans out of the car window and throws out a pack of cigarettes, smiling, "It's all thanks to Brother Ye. There are many orders today, and we're short-handed, so I'm making a trip! Alright, Brother Ye, I have to go. I'll treat Brother Ye to a meal when I have time!"
Liu Han had never expected to become a supervisor! When he returned from his delivery that day, he heard that the manager had been fired. Although he didn't know what had happened, he guessed it must be Ye Cangtian's doing.
Ye Cangtian, who should have been fired by the manager, was not fired, but the manager was. Liu Han knew without thinking that Brother Ye had a patron, and his promotion was indeed thanks to Brother Ye.
"Work hard. Before long, I'll probably have to call you Manager Liu, haha!" Ye Cangtian smiles and raises the barrier. Liu Han is young, but he's capable and diligent, so promotion is only a matter of time.
Ye Cangtian opens the cigarette pack, pulls out a Furongwang, and lights it.
Taking a deep drag, his gaze sweeps towards another direction, and the corners of his mouth curl up slightly. He murmurs to himself, "Looks like I'm being watched again! Could it be Liu Zhendong? Or He Chuan?"
Even while sitting in the security booth, he has a feeling of being under surveillance.
Moreover, he can sense that the person watching him this time is probably not simple!
Exhaling a smoke ring, Ye Cangtian smiles, "That's more like it! It's boring to always have some weaklings coming around. This time, a master has arrived!"
Hundreds of meters away!
In a black Bentley, a pair of snake-like eyes gleam with a contemptuous smile.
"Old Zhong, the person you asked me to kill is this guy? A mere security guard. Can't you even handle him? You were once known as the 'Blood Fiend Hand'!" In the passenger seat, a lean man says with a devilish smile.
This person is the assassin hired by the Zhong butler of the He family, or as they call them in China, assassins.
This man is named Poison Dragon, possessing snake-like eyes and having killed countless people. He has assassinated many top wealthy individuals both domestically and abroad and is listed as a first-class fugitive by China!
However, after years of pursuit, he has escaped multiple times, and China is helpless against him!
Butler Zhong, sitting in the driver's seat, says with a wry smile, "The 'Blood Fiend Hand' is just a title. I've been out of the game for many years and vowed never to act again, so this matter will have to trouble Mr. Poison Dragon! My young master will be immensely grateful."
In the back, He Chuan also quickly says with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Poison Dragon. Here's five million as a deposit. After the job is done, I, He Chuan, will personally hand over the remaining payment!"
He pats the password-protected briefcase beside him and casually opens it, revealing a box full of cash.
Poison Dragon's peripheral vision glances at it. He licks his lips, his smile widening, and he laughs heartily, "Leave it to me. I, Poison Dragon, have never failed! How does Young Master He want him to die?"
He Chuan's eyes light up, but he shakes his head and smiles, "No rush. The day after tomorrow is the Tang family patriarch's birthday. At that time..."
