Bai Lu: "..."

Mr. Xu, aren't you being a bit too unkind by doing this?

Didn't you see that Chen Xiaoxiao is almost steaming with anger?

If you really provoke Chen Xiaoxiao, how will this end!

"Damn lecher, you actually dare to defile the eldest young lady!"

"I must kill you; I want to chop you into eight pieces!"

Chen Xiaoxiao was extremely angry and attacked Bai Lu regardless, trying to break through his obstruction.

"Enough, Xiaoxiao, calm down; it's me!"

Bai Lu couldn't help but take off his mask and explain.

Seeing the familiar face in front of her, Chen Xiaoxiao's movements instantly froze.

"Bai Lu? Why is it you?"

After Bai Lu took off his mask, the other bodyguards of the first team also took off the disguises on their faces one after another; when they revealed their true faces, A Wei and the Tang family bodyguards beside them were all stunned.

What exactly is going on here?

The Shadow they thought it was, was actually the team members who evacuated with Xu Tian?

How is this possible?

Immediately, they looked at Xu Tian sitting in the car again.

If the Shadow members were the first team of bodyguards, then this Shadow Master is...

"Why are you all looking at me?"

Xu Tian coughed lightly with one hand covering his lips, and then, under the astonished gazes of Chen Xiaoxiao, A Wei, and the others, took off his mask.

Everyone gasped.

"Xu Tian?"

Chen Xiaoxiao was stunned for a few seconds before reacting: "Why is it you?"

What kind of international joke is this?

The person who was just awe-inspiring and scared away Tattoo was actually Xu Tian?

Except for the first team who knew the inside story, everyone else was dumbfounded and stood in place, as if they were lifeless marionettes.

"No... lie, you're lying, right?"

Chen Xiaoxiao was dumbstruck: "How could it be you guys..."

She repeated these two sentences over and over like a repeater.

The impact of Xu Tian taking off his mask just now had already made her lose the ability to think.

A Wei was also full of shock.

At this moment, he finally understood why he felt this man looked somewhat familiar just now...

So, this so-called Shadow Master was Xu Tian!

And Xiao Can, who had just stopped the bleeding from his wound, even rubbed his eyes.

The person who pointed him out just now and saved him from being beheaded by Vampire George was actually the pretty boy Xu Tian, whom he had always looked down upon?!

"Bai Lu, didn't you guys already evacuate? Why did you come back, and why did you dress up as Shadow?" Finally, A Wei was the first to react and asked.

"Now is not the time to talk; let's go to Lin City first to find a place to stay, and your wounds also need treatment."

"You..."

Chen Xiaoxiao endured the urge to have a fight with Bai Lu.

Forget about the wounds; she just wanted to beat someone up now!

This guy actually helped Xu Tian deceive her!

Lanshan Villa.

Tang Laoyezi was playing chess with the butler in the living room.

Gu Beicheng brought a senior executive of the Tang Group and hurried in from outside, not even saying hello, and broke directly into the living room.

"What's wrong?"

Tang Laoyezi looked at them somewhat surprised: "What happened that's so urgent?"

He didn't sleep well last night and hadn't had any energy all day today.

Even with the butler accompanying him to play chess to relieve boredom, he had been distracted and unable to concentrate.

I don't know why, but it felt like a large stone was pressing on his chest, making him uncomfortable.

Now seeing Gu Beicheng and the Tang Group executive come over together, the uneasy premonition in his heart became even stronger.

Gu Beicheng looked at the executive beside him with a solemn expression; the executive's body shook, and he hurriedly waved his hands: "Mr. Gu, it's better for you to tell Old Tang about this."

Gu Beicheng's gaze dimmed, and in the end, he didn't decline again, but first observed Tang Laoyezi's expression before saying cautiously:

"Grandpa, after you hear this news, you must be calm; no matter what, your health is the most important..."

"Tell me."

Tang Laoyezi's heart sank suddenly, and his brows furrowed tightly.

However, he was a person who had experienced great storms and waves after all, so he wouldn't lose his composure.

"It's Bingyan, she..."

"What happened to Bingyan?"

Tang Laoyezi straightened his back instantly, and the teacup beside his hand was almost knocked over by him.

When it involved his precious granddaughter, he could no longer remain calm.

"Didn't Bingyan go to the Lighthouse Country to negotiate with the AM company? There was an accident on the way..."

"They were besieged by a mysterious organization in the Lighthouse Country. Although A Wei sent a distress signal immediately after the incident, that organization's influence is all over the Lighthouse Country and they blocked the news; the people I sent to rescue them simply couldn't find their specific location."

"Now the signal from A Wei's side is interrupted, and no more messages can be sent; the current situation is unknown..."

Gu Beicheng was completely unable to contact Tang Bingyan and her subordinates, let alone know the situation there.

Although he was worried that Tang Laoyezi couldn't accept this news, because it concerned Tang Bingyan's safety, he thought about it and didn't dare to hide it.

"You said Bingyan and the others are missing?"

Tang Laoyezi's body trembled violently, and just as he was about to speak again, he fainted on the sofa due to the rush of anger.

"Grandpa!"

"Old Tang!"

Gu Beicheng's expression changed drastically; he immediately asked the butler to call the family doctor, while he came to Tang Laoyezi's side and pressed hard on the acupoint at the tiger's mouth of the old man.

After some tossing and turning, Tang Laoyezi finally woke up slowly.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he firmly grabbed Gu Beicheng's arm.

"Beicheng, you said Bingyan was besieged by an unknown organization? Who are the other party? What is their purpose?"

"This..."

Gu Beicheng sighed: "It's not clear for the time being."

Since receiving A Wei's distress signal, he had contacted all the forces he could mobilize, but by morning, he still hadn't found out any news.

Tang Laoyezi's breathing was rapid; he couldn't catch his breath and almost fainted again.

Fortunately, the doctor arrived in time and gave him a few quick-acting heart-saving pills, which stabilized the old man's condition.

"Who exactly is it that dares to go against our Tang family?"

"It's a killer organization called Tattoo. I've already investigated; they have no connection with us. They will definitely do anything for money; I guess they were instructed by someone."

"Tattoo?" Tang Laoyezi's expression became a bit more solemn.

He had also heard of this organization that was cruel and did all kinds of evil.

Actually hiring such vicious killers, who exactly wants to harm his granddaughter?

Tang Laoyezi had just heard that Tang Bingyan had an accident and originally thought the other party had taken a fancy to the Tang family's core patents.

But snatching confidential information simply didn't require hiring killers of Tattoo's level; this was clearly wanting Tang Bingyan's life!

Suddenly, Tang Laoyezi thought of Liang Yuan, who had come to visit him before, telling him that Xu Tian had always not wanted Bingyan to go to the Lighthouse Country, and had been entangled in various ways, even saying some depressing words that Bingyan would encounter danger if she went over.
