Chapter 148 Starline Under Attack
“Someone has been killed!”
“Someone has been killed!”
Two girls passing by the door witnessed the whole process, covering their mouths in shock. They felt their legs weaken and stood there stunned until the security guard fell, then they finally came to their senses. They ran into the company in a panic, crying and shouting. One of them even stumbled on the way.
Sikong Xinrong paid no attention to them and instead put down the security guard he had been holding up, who had already been killed. He continued walking inside with an expressionless face.
At this moment, Long San walked out of the factory and saw the two girls running towards him in a panic.
“Long, Liu has been killed! He was killed by an old man! There was so much blood!” one of the girls with a ponytail ran towards him, speaking incoherently.
“Long, please go and take a look!” the other girl urged him.
Murder?! How could this happen in broad daylight? By an old man?
Long San was stunned for a few seconds, but when he saw the fear in the girls’ eyes, he quickly gathered a few security guards and weapons and ran outside.
When he arrived at the door, he saw the horrifying scene in the guard room. Liu, the security guard, had a large hole in his chest and his eyes were wide open. Another security guard had a blue face and bruising on his neck. It was obvious that they had been beyond hope.
“Damn!” Long San furrowed his brows and felt his heart rate rise. Only someone from the Shadow Stage could inflict such wounds.
“Go find the killer, but don’t do anything when you find him. Keep in contact at all times!” he quickly instructed. This person was too dangerous, and if these people encountered him and acted rashly, they would not even have a chance to fight back.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Those security guards who came with him looked at each other in confusion. They had never thought that being a security guard would come with such risks, and they were now feeling quite nervous.
“What are you waiting for? Go!” Long San shouted, quickly pulling out his phone and dialing Xiao Shun’s number.
“Mr. Xiao, something has happened to the company. Please come back quickly,” Long San said urgently after the call connected.
“What happened?” Xiao Shun was picking some herbs at Goodhealth Herbs, but when he heard the urgency in Long San’s voice, his hand paused mid-air.
“I suspect there’s a powerful fighter in the factory. He killed two security guards at the entrance, and he should be still here. But we haven’t found him yet…” Long San quickly briefed him on the situation.
“I’ll be right back.” Xiao Shun hung up the phone and immediately left to take a taxi back.
In the office building, since it was the weekend, there weren’t many people around, and the entire factory was quiet and empty.
Zhu Que’s office was opposite Yao Cen’s, and she was playing games on her computer when she heard some light footsteps. She stood up alertly and walked to the door, looking through the glass window. She soon saw a stranger walking straight into Yao Cen’s office.
Yao Cen had told her that she would call if she needed anything, so Zhu Que didn’t rush into Yao Cen’s office. After all, they might be discussing business, so it was better not to disturb them.
However, as an assassin, her sensitive nerves told her that something was wrong, and there seemed to be a smell of blood in the air.
So she walked out into the corridor outside Yao Cen’s office, ready for any accidents.
Ah!
At this moment, Yao Cen was attentively examining the promotional data for the week that had been received from the online sales department. When she heard someone push the door open, she looked up and let out a cry of surprise.
The person who entered was naturally Sikong Xinrong, and she had seen him before. However, at this moment, he was covered in blood, especially on his left hand, which was completely dyed blood red. There was a chilling gleam in his eyes that made her hair literally stand on end.
Of course, Yao Cen would never have expected Sikong Xinrong to suddenly appear in her office. Besides Sikong Xing, she had no connection to any other members of the Sikong family, let alone this much respected family head. She had only had a glimpse of him at a municipal government business conference.
Zhu Que heard Yao Cen’s cry of surprise and immediately pushed open the door and entered. She walked quickly towards Yao Cen while keeping an eye on Sikong Xinrong. Soon, she also noticed something unusual about him.
Having spent years in the underground world, she naturally understood that there were many things in this world that ordinary people couldn’t easily come into contact with.
“Ms. Yao, are you alright?” Zhu Que asked, while cautiously watching Sikong Xinrong.
Yao Cen shook her head gently, frowning as she looked at Sikong Xinrong and asked, “You are Sikong Xing’s grandfather, right? What happened?”
“You are Yao Cen?” Sikong Xinrong spoke.
“Yes, it’s me,” Yao Cen nodded.
“Your husband not only humiliated my family, but also killed my grandson, Sikong Chen. Where is he?” Sikong Xinrong asked coldly with a calm, old face.
Yao Cen trembled slightly, and knew what he was talking about. She forced herself to stay calm and said, “You may have some misunderstanding. You should know what happened to Sikong Xing. As for Sikong Chen, I believe my husband did not kill your grandson.”
“I didn’t come here to argue with you today. Since you are his wife, I don’t mind sending you on your way in advance. He will join you soon, so you’ll have company down there,” Sikong Xinrong’s tone was even, but they all felt a chill down their spine.
Although he looked like an old man, Zhu Que’s sharp senses told her that this person was extremely dangerous. She silently reached for her waist and pulled out her gun.
Yao Cen was not as sensitive as Zhu Que, and the words spoken by Sikong Xinrong only made her feel like this Mr. Sikong might have some mental issues.
She did not speak, but picked up the phone to call security to have him taken out. After that, she would notify the Sikong family to come and get him.
“Ms. Yao!” Just as Yao Cen picked up the phone, she heard Long San’s urgent shout from outside. Then, there were some hurried footsteps, and Long San rushed in flustered. When he saw Sikong Xinrong, his face changed drastically.
Long San had already learned from the two girls that the killer was an old man. When he pushed open the door and saw Sikong Xinrong, he didn’t hesitate to jump and sweep a kick towards him.
However, before he could get close to Sikong Xinrong, he felt a huge force out of nowhere, and he couldn’t get any closer. That powerful force pushed his body several meters into the air.
Bang! He slammed into the glass door of the office, and the glass shattered all over the floor.
