Mingxia Building, a thirty-story high-rise, houses a comprehensive commercial building with a mall, a gaming center, and offices for dozens of small and medium-sized enterprises!
Meanwhile, the parent company of the Yu family, Mingxia Real Estate, occupies most of the building's floors.
Some are used as employee dormitories, while others serve as offices for various purposes.
With over three hundred employees in this building, they work tirelessly to further expand the Yu family's industry, contributing their efforts and dedication.
"Recent performance is acceptable. Employee rewards will continue to be distributed as I mentioned before."
Yu Tao, who had just arrived from a flight, sat in the chairman's office, dealing with the accumulated company affairs during his overseas trip.
"Okay." A certain department manager took back the report he had submitted and then left the room.
He glanced at the two sturdy figures standing outside the office door.
Inside the chairman's office, there were also two well-dressed bodyguards. Although they didn't speak, their presence added pressure to the experienced manager.
Could it be that the chairman has something going on recently? Otherwise, he wouldn't have seen him recruit so many security personnel...
The manager couldn't help but think so.
"So, in the past few days, have you arranged manpower to investigate the whereabouts of the assassins targeting me?"
Once the manager had left completely, Yu Tao, in the chairman's office, suddenly asked with a cold expression.
Naturally, his question was directed at the two deputy team leaders of the security team sitting on the side!
The head of security organized his words with a slight embarrassment before speaking, "Not yet! But we have obtained some intelligence indicating that they are from a medium-sized international assassin organization with fifty to a hundred members. Only a small part of them are full-time assassins, while the majority have other professions, with some even serving in other mercenary organizations!"
"So what you're saying is that you can't even handle two assassins from this ragtag assassin organization?" Yu Tao furrowed his brow.
"It's not like that. Although this organization's members are disparate, there are still many elites among them. Just like the two assassins who came to assassinate you now, from the limited intelligence I've gathered, both of them possess strong combat abilities. One of them even held the title of Sniper King on the African battlefield for a long time. Even if I were to confront him, I might not necessarily win," the head of security explained.
Yu Tao let out a chuckle, but it was definitely a cold one.
The head of security had said so much just to boast about how powerful the opponents were and then indirectly boast about himself, right?
Playing with words like this, Yu Tao outclassed the head of security by miles.
Anyway, the implication was that they still didn't know the exact whereabouts of those two individuals. Yu Tao felt a headache coming on as he remembered another matter.
He had already learned about what happened at home yesterday. Now Yu Tao regretted it deeply. More than a month ago, when the pretty girl from the Ding family, who was supposed to be his future daughter-in-law, agreed to temporarily reside in the Yu family's courtyard for some reason, he had vaguely felt that something was wrong.
It was ridiculous to think about young people at that time. Elders shouldn't interfere too much, so he even moved out of the courtyard with his wife, only occasionally symbolically returning home.
But he didn't expect that Ding Limeng would actually announce the cancellation of the wedding in front of everyone. The Ding family even called him last night, claiming that his son Yu Yuan had taken someone hostage and that the person had long been killed by his son!
Could it be that it was the guy he helped his son deal with over a month ago?
Just an ordinary person, even if his son killed him, it wouldn't matter much.
At that time, Yu Tao didn't think much about it. He just told his son not to be so ruthless in the future and then made some phone calls to certain figures in his network.
Naturally, the dead person was treated as a 'traffic accident'! And in his company, for a hefty compensation, a sea of people willing to keep quiet and even go to jail emerged.
But he didn't expect that the dead guy would be related to Ding Limeng's affair!
Yu Tao had a terrible headache, not the kind you feel but a real one.
For this marriage, how much had the Yu family paid? It couldn't be expressed in numbers. The favors and connections involved were debts to be repaid in the future!
Moreover, Yu Yuan's actions had reached the bottom line. If other families knew the internal reasons, the reputation of the Yu family in Shanghai would be greatly diminished.
In other words, Yu Tao dared not ask for any of the things the Yu family had paid, because if the Ding family exposed the matter, the price the Yu family would have to pay would be more than ten times higher!
"I'm going to the restroom. One of you come with me." Yu Tao stood up, weakly touching his forehead.
The deputy team leader stood up and followed Yu Tao into the restroom through a side door of the office.
Yu Tao was extremely afraid of death, even having someone follow him to the restroom inside the office.
"Alright, wait outside." Yu Tao entered the restroom, but there was a stall inside, which he opened.
It turned out to be a big one!
This might cause quite a stink later, right? The deputy team leader's face looked a bit unpleasant, but duty-bound, he nodded slightly.
Yu Tao entered the stall.
Seeing the clearly visible safe space inside the stall, Yu Tao hesitated for a moment, but still casually locked the stall door...
Meanwhile,
A mosquito that had been hiding in the office's shadows all along buzzed its wings and followed into the restroom.
It flew past the deputy security team leader and, through the gap above the stall, effortlessly slipped inside.
Jia Yan watched the middle-aged man below undressing.
This person was quite prominent in the Shanghai market.
Describing him as influential might be a bit exaggerated, but his words could easily determine someone's life or death! It was almost like he controlled everything.
In his previous life, the cause of his death was being told by him to help his son, who directed the murder, get rid of the charges, turning it from murder to an accident!
That murderer even had a party at home yesterday.
Just a month after killing someone, he could be so happy. He even used that person to deceive his fiancée into his house!
Raising such a son, this person definitely wasn't a good character!
Just helping his son cover up a murder was already a serious crime!
Jia Yan believed that he definitely had even heavier crimes, perhaps even more outrageous than his son. Otherwise, how could he turn his death into an accident so smoothly?
Maybe, there were more than just one or two people who indirectly or directly died by his hands!
Killing him would definitely be doing justice!
"So... it's your turn next... Yu Yuan!!"
In mid-flight, the icy demeanor in Jia Yan's compound eyes seemed to freeze even the flames!
