Chapter 9 – Sniper in the Shadows!

In the club, Zhao Tianhai squinted his eyes, his expression as dark as it could be, as he glared at Xu De kneeling before him, letting out a cold snort.

Unexpectedly, the trap he had painstakingly set up was so easily broken.

The fat prey that was almost in his grasp just flew away like that, and his face was full of unwillingness.

Xu De swallowed hard and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Zhao, I... I did my best. I didn't know that the driver Liu Ya brought was actually the boyfriend of the Jiang Family's Eldest Miss."

"The Jiang Family, we can't afford to provoke them."

"......"

Zhao Tianhai clenched his fists, the bones cracking audibly. Of course, he knew they couldn't provoke the Jiang Family.

He hadn't expected that trying to acquire a startup company would involve the Jiang Clan.

Although Zhao Tianhai was considered a successful and well-known businessman in Jiangnan, there was a huge gap between him and the powerful families.

Now that the Jiang Family stood in his way, forcibly acquiring Liu Ya's company was absolutely impossible.

But if he just gave up like this, Zhao Tianhai was unwilling from the bottom of his heart.

What should he do?

He stared at Xu De, squinting his eyes, "You can leave now!"

"Yes."

Xu De nodded, got up, and left.

After he left, Zhao Tianhai silently took out his phone, dialed a number, and reported the night's events to the owner of the number.

"Yes, the Jiang Family got involved. For now, it seems they're not interested in Liu Ya's company, it's because of a young man named Qin Yun, who is the boyfriend of Jiang Family's Eldest Miss Jiang Tianran."

"Should we take care of that Qin Yun first?"

"Alright, understood."

"......"

After reporting, Zhao Tianhai hung up the phone, his eyes turning gloomy.

He muttered to himself, "Would the Jiang Clan allow a rural boy to become the Jiang Family's son-in-law?"

He suddenly sneered, "It's impossible, I guess that Eldest Miss Jiang is just playing around."

"In that case, killing that Qin Yun kid should solve the problem, right?"

......

......

In the morning, sunlight streamed through the window into the bedroom. Qin Yun lifted the blanket, habitually pulled up his pants, and glanced at the sleeping Jiang Tianran, feeling that life had become somewhat decadent.

It was still early for work, so he decided to get up and make breakfast first.

Just as he stepped out of the bedroom and headed to the kitchen, Jiang Tianran groggily woke up.

She habitually picked up her phone and opened the chat group with her seven girlfriends, immediately seeing over 99 messages, her eyes widening.

"Jiang Tianran, you little vixen, what did you do to our boss? Why isn't the boss messaging us? What did you say to him?"

"Jiang Tianran, come out, if you don't, we'll come to Jiangnan, we absolutely won't let you enjoy the boss alone."

"Stop talking, sisters, I'm already on my way to Jiangnan, preparing to meet Jiang Tianran in person, boss, I'm determined to win."

"Damn, Zhao Qingshuang, you're shameless."

"As expected of a scout, such action capability, I concede, once I handle the group's affairs, I'll head to Jiangnan too."

"......"

After scrolling through all the messages in the chat group, Jiang Tianran's expression changed drastically.

Zhao Qingshuang is coming!

Not good.

That little girl is coming to fight me for the boss.

Jiang Tianran's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly got up, dressed, and ran to the living room.

Seeing Qin Yun coming out with a plate of toast and fried eggs, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Awake!" Qin Yun said to Jiang Tianran, a piece of bread in his mouth.

Jiang Tianran coughed, then chuckled, "Boss, should we... go on a trip?"

Qin Yun was puzzled, "Why go on a trip? I just retired and haven't even had a proper rest yet."

A hint of panic flashed in Jiang Tianran's eyes as she made an excuse, "Well, it's because you just retired, shouldn't we find a place to have some fun for a few days?"

Qin Yun frowned, "I can't, I still have to work."

Jiang Tianran's tone was impatient, "Oh come on, just take a leave, why do you care so much, I just want to go on a trip, come with me, okay?"

"This..."

Qin Yun hesitated, thinking about what happened at Cuihua's company last night. If he left now, what if something happened during this time?

"It's decided then, go upstairs and pack your things!"

With that, Jiang Tianran pushed Qin Yun upstairs.

Unable to resist the enthusiasm of his "good brother," Qin Yun had no choice but to go upstairs and start packing his clothes.

However, just as he went upstairs.

Outside the villa, the doorbell rang.

"Ding dong!"

"Ding dong!"

"Ding dong!"

Shua.

Jiang Tianran was startled, so soon?

Her heart raced as she walked to the door in her slippers and opened it.

There stood a woman wearing sunglasses, a long brown trench coat, tall and slender, with fair skin and delicate features, holding a white suitcase at the door.

Zhao Qingshuang took off her sunglasses, her eyes filled with the look of a rival as she stared at Jiang Tianran, "Where's the boss?"

"Ah?" Jiang Tianran's eyes darted around, "I... I don't know, the boss isn't here with me!"

"If the boss isn't here, then where is he?" Zhao Qingshuang snorted, "Jiang Tianran, don't think I don't know what you're up to, taking advantage of being close to get ahead!"

"We agreed on fair competition, move aside, let me in to find the boss."

"No way." Jiang Tianran spread her arms to block her, "This is my house, what are you doing here? Zhao Qingshuang, don't think I'm afraid of you just because I can't beat you."

"The boss... the boss really isn't here with me!"

"Is that so?" Zhao Qingshuang squinted her eyes and suddenly attacked, flipping the unprepared Jiang Tianran over her shoulder, then quickly dashed into the villa.

"Attacking by surprise, that's low." Jiang Tianran hurriedly got up and chased after her.

Meanwhile, Qin Yun returned to the bedroom, took out his small black bag from the cabinet, and was just about to pack his luggage.

But at that moment, "beep beep beep," a series of message alerts suddenly sounded from his phone.

His heart tightened, especially when he saw the sender's code name, Eagle, he immediately checked the message.

"Get out quickly, someone is coming to kill you!"

"Kill me?" Qin Yun clenched his fists, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, could it be related to that mission?

Half a year before retiring, Qin Yun received a mission to go to a primeval forest abroad to search for an ancient relic.

There, he encountered the world's top special forces, and that mission was akin to a small-scale modern war.

Everyone's goal was to find something in that ancient relic.

In the end, the only survivor was Qin Yun.

"It shouldn't be." Qin Yun's heart skipped a beat, "I remember there were no survivors on site, no one should know that thing is inside me."

And at that moment, a blinding white light pierced through the curtain, landing on the cabinet beside him.

It was a small light spot.

Years of combat instincts instantly made him realize, this was a sniper rifle!!!!!

"Not good."

Almost at the same time, Qin Yun reacted quickly.

The next second.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out from afar, a bullet instantly shattered the glass, piercing a black hole in the cabinet door.

"Bang!"

Just then, the door was pushed open forcefully.

"Zhao Qingshuang, that's my bedroom, you're not allowed in."

"Who cares, Jiang Tianran, you must have hidden the boss here, if you don't let me in, I'll go in anyway."

As the voices of the two women came in, Zhao Qingshuang's figure rushed into the bedroom.

And when she saw Qin Yun hiding under the bed frame, she was instantly overjoyed.

"Boss!"

But!

What greeted her was a stern shout.

"Get out!"

Qin Yun's expression was serious, "There's a sniper."

"Don't come in!!!"

Zhao Qingshuang: "!!!!!!"
