Chapter 16: Zhang Fan Appears

"Fine, Zhang Shao, but the price has to go up. You have to give me ten million, otherwise I won't take this job!"

"Fine."

After hanging up the phone, Dao Ge led his group in a circle and climbed over a perimeter wall into the residential compound.

Once inside the compound, the group walked with practiced ease to the outside of Villa No. 1.

"Climb in, be quiet!" Dao Ge instructed.

Several people scrambled in a panic into Villa No. 1.

One of them went straight to the back door of the villa; he placed the chewing gum from his mouth onto the doorknob, then took a countdown bomb from his pocket and was just about to press the button in his hand when—

Puchi!

"Dao Ge..., I..." He clutched his neck with both hands, and the blood inside gushed out.

Slap! He fell to the ground and died.

A cold sweat couldn't help but seep through the others.

Dao Ge instinctively gripped the A2911 Type Handgun at his waist.

Puchi...

Puchi...

Only then did Dao Ge realize his own neck had been pierced directly by a blade; no wonder he hadn't noticed it until now.

"Who is it? Get the hell out here!" Dao Ge couldn't care about anything else and shouted directly.

This burst of shouting woke Wang Xuan, who was currently soaking in a bath.

A black shadow flashed by, and the next second, Dao Ge's neck was tightly controlled by a dagger!

"Put down the handgun and kneel." A very hoarse male voice sounded from behind Dao Ge.

"Easy, easy!" Dao Ge was truly terrified; he didn't even dare to turn his head to look at the person behind him.

"I'll listen to you, I'll kneel right now." Dao Ge placed the handgun on the ground and knelt down.

"Hands behind your head, stand up slowly, and go to the wall," Starry Sky said coldly.

"Yes, yes, yes." Dao Ge did as he was told.

Starry Sky searched him for a moment, and only after confirming he was not carrying any dangerous items did he go to pick up the gun from the ground.

At this moment.

The back door was opened.

Wang Xuan was wearing pajamas and had only turned on the indoor lights.

"Starry Sky? Is he the person who was tailing me?"

"Yes, let's go to your bedroom to talk."

After entering the room, Starry Sky hurriedly turned off the lights and led only Brother Dao into a bedroom on the first floor.

After Wang Xuan pulled the curtains, he turned on the bedroom light, and Starry Sky immediately closed the door.

"Four are dead outside. Don't worry, Young Master Wang, I will go handle it in a moment. Only he is alive. Young Master, what do you intend to do?"

Wang Xuan looked at Dao Ge coldly.

"Speak, who sent you?"

"This..." Dao Ge stammered; he had been active in Gangzhou for over ten years, and this was the first time he had ever been caught.

Furthermore, his companions in the car must have already noticed the abnormality of this operation.

"Speak! Or I'll kill you," Starry Sky said icily.

Seeing the dagger in Starry Sky's hand flash with white light under the crystal chandelier—a light in which he could see his own pathetic state—Brother Dao was terrified.

"I'll talk! Please spare my dog life! Grandpa Wang, I hope you are magnanimous and let me go this time!" Dao Ge immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"My patience is very limited; I'll only give you three seconds. 3! 2!" Wang Xuan began the countdown directly.

"It was Zhang Fan who told me to come. The goal was to kill you, and I would get ten million after the job was done!" Dao Ge confessed.

"Zhang Fan?" Wang Xuan looked confused and looked at Starry Sky.

However, Starry Sky also shook his head.

"Which Zhang Fan?"

"The son of the Dongchang Logistics Group in Gangzhou City. His dad is Zhang Zhifu, the general manager of the group."

Wang Xuan remembered this company; when he was in a meeting at Dongni Group today, the manager had described it in detail. This company was a partner of Dongni Group.

Moreover, it relied entirely on the business of the Gangzhou Branch of Dongni to make a living; it was basically like a logistics division of Dongni Group.

According to the manager, the company had always cooperated very happily with Dongchang Logistics.

"Do you know why Zhang Fan wants to kill me?"

"I don't know... Young Master Wang, I really don't know. We were all just following orders," Dao Ge said sincerely.

"Starry Sky, detain him first. I'll call the Housekeeper to ask about this company."

"Yes, Young Master."

Just as Starry Sky finished speaking, a knock sounded at the main door.

All three of them gasped.

"I'll go open the door, you be careful."

Wang Xuan went to the peephole and looked outside; it was actually those two property staff members with bruised and swollen faces from earlier.

Wang Xuan opened the main door.

"Young Master Wang, we just checked the surveillance and found five masked men entering your villa. We were worried about your safety, so we came to check."

"Yes, Young Master Wang, did you find any suspicious personnel?"

"No. You must have seen wrong; I just took a shower and was getting ready to sleep," Wang Xuan said, gesturing for them to leave.

"This..." The two property staff members looked at each other in dismay.

"Young Master Wang, I will stay in front of your gate to stand guard. If you are in any danger, open the door at any time."

"I'll stay too."

"No, you have to go to the guard room!"

Then, Wang Xuan watched as these two property staff members actually played rock-paper-scissors to compete for the right to stand guard in front of his villa.

"Alright, alright, stop arguing. How much is your monthly salary?"

"Six thousand."

"Fine, stop arguing. Just be my guards. I'll give you each twelve thousand a month, how about that?"

"Good, good, good!"

The two property staff members immediately made phone calls to resign.

Wang Xuan shut the main gate directly, resolving the matter.

He returned to the bedroom.

Brother Dao's mouth had already been sealed with tape, and his entire body was bound tightly by Starry Sky.

"Behave yourself, or don't blame me for killing you," Starry Sky said viciously.

Dao Ge nodded repeatedly.

"Young Master Wang, I'll go handle the corpses out back first. If anything comes up, just call for me."

"Alright."

Wang Xuan looked at Dao Ge, who was so scared on the floor that he had wet his pants, and immediately returned to the living room to call the Guanjia.

"Zhang Fan?" The Guanjia was also bewildered; after all, he had previously been in Jiangcheng following Mr. Wang Zhenfan, and he was very familiar with Jiangcheng.

But he did not know much about this Gangzhou.

"Wang Xuan, wait for me. I'm coming to your place now. On the way, I'll ask Yu Jun, the manager currently in the company; he is very familiar with Gangzhou."

"Good. Remember, tell him not to talk nonsense."

"You can rest assured about that. Given Yu Jun's intelligence, he won't do that."

After hanging up the phone, only ten minutes passed before Starry Sky walked in from the back room.

"Young Master, you should rest first. I can take care of your safety."

"I'm fine."

Five minutes later, there was another commotion at the main gate.

Wang Xuan opened the door; it was indeed the Guanjia who had arrived.

"Young Master Wang, this old man said he was looking for you. We wouldn't let him in, but he insisted on coming in?"

Wang Xuan waved his hand at the two of them and said, "This is my Guanjia."

The Guanjia asked in confusion, "Young Master, what's the situation with these two? Why are they bruised and swollen?"

"It's a long story. Come in; don't worry about them. They are my guards now."

"Impressive."

After entering the door, the Guanjia directly stated the results Yu Jun had just told him.

This Dongchang Logistics has always had a good relationship with the group, which means Zhang Fan has no grudge against Wang Xuan.
