My Wife is Actually a top-tier Soldier King?!
Chapter 456 - 456 456 Hard Hit!

456: Chapter 456: Hard Hit!

Explosion!

456: Chapter 456: Hard Hit!

Explosion!

Gazes swept across!

Many journalists eagerly wanted to ask questions.

No assassin would carve words on their face to reveal their identity.

Tang Xiao held the microphone in her left hand while pressing a gun with her right hand.

In this way, she could also block the view, preventing people from knowing her right hand was injured.

But the assassin was obviously very patient and did not act rashly.

Perhaps the assassin wasn’t even there, having devised a different plan for murder.

She took a deep breath in silence!

Tang Xiao glanced at Cai Xu beside her.

Cai Xu immediately understood, swept the room with his gaze, extended his hand, gesturing for domestic reporters to come forward first.

“Hello President Tang, I’m a reporter; we met this morning.

First, congratulations on your group’s victory in the bidding.

Then I want to ask, in your opinion, what was the key factor for victory in the segment of technological competition?”

Tang Xiao’s lips curved into a slight smile, immediately thinking of her husband.

Such an incredible character, just like Monk Sweeper!

At the very start of the fight, it was touch-and-go, narrowly avoiding a breach in defense.

Wu Jie came back from a restroom break, sat down on the spot, and within minutes reversed the situation, launching a successful counter-attack.

As for what happened after that…

It was a tour de force, three against one, a clean sweep!

“The winning factor is, of course, our most outstanding talent!

Perhaps our hardware equipment is not yet at the international top level, but our software is definitely first-class!”

Tang Xiao chose a very vague response to the question, skirting around the heavy details and naturally keeping quiet about the battle specifics.

After that, the microphone passed to a fair-haired, blue-eyed reporter.

“President Tang, I am a reporter from the American Broadcasting Television Station.

In this technical contest that could be called the pinnacle showdown, your performance was astounding.

You even managed to breach the defenses of the world’s top three enterprise networks!”

“Such powerful invasive and destructive capabilities have already caused panic among many people, who worry whether with such technology, you could also breach the systems of many banks and steal everyone’s money?”

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately infuriated many people from Liuli City.

What does that mean?

Questioning whether Tanglong Industrial Group would use cyberattack capabilities to penetrate bank systems for illegal profits?

This was outright framing and defamation.

Although Tang Xiao was angry, she did not burst out in rage.

In such circumstances, it was inappropriate to take physical action, but she could certainly retaliate verbally!

Close to vermilion, one gets stained red; close to ink, one gets stained black!

Following Jie, she had also learned a fair bit of sharp-tongued retorts.

With a light smile, Tang Xiao said:

“First of all, you need to improve your Mandarin proficiency.

Working for a renowned media outlet yet having such poor Mandarin skills makes me doubt your professional capability!”

“Secondly, this technical contest involved four enterprises in an exchange and discussion of relevant technologies.

We are fortunate to have won, but this does not mean we have the ability to compromise the safety systems of banks.”

“Finally, we are a network communication technology service provider, and our client base includes banks.

Why would we bite the hand that feeds us?

Over the years, I’ve never heard of any network service provider hacking into banks and stealing money!”

“Such framing and slander, is this in line with a journalist’s professional ethics?

Why not ask the other three enterprises?

Many of the world’s top banks are their traditional clients, and they have not committed such acts, yet you suspect us?

Isn’t this discrimination?”

She spoke assertively, leaving the other party red-faced and speechless.

Then another foreign reporter asked a question.

“President Tang, the political situation in Aseyah has only stabilized in the last two or three years.

Your group is undertaking the East Africa SAM project which may face extremely serious political risks and safety threats to the construction.

What is your view on this?”

Tang Xiao spoke seriously:

“The country’s politics are its internal affairs, which I won’t comment on.

However, I firmly believe the people of Aseyah are peace-loving.

It’s some international forces that incite strife and maliciously undermine peace!”

“Our group will communicate closely with the authorities of Aseyah, coordinate comprehensively, and strictly adhere to agreements, ensuring quality and completion within the timeframe, allowing the people of Aseyah to enjoy the convenience of digital telecommunications as soon as possible!”

“As for the security threats to the construction…

we don’t instigate trouble, but that doesn’t mean we are afraid of it.

Any malicious act of infringement will be severely punished.

I specially warn those international forces attempting to subvert the internal affairs of other countries and disturb their order, do not reach out, for if you do, you will surely be caught!”

At this point, Tang Xiao stood up.

“Today’s press conference concludes here.

If there are any more questions, you may call or email our group’s PR department!”

With that said, Tang Xiao departed straightforwardly.

All the reporters instantly stood up, each one surging forward with some excitement.

Tang Xiao casually gripped the edge of her suit, ready to pull it back at a moment’s notice to facilitate drawing her gun with her right hand.

However…

There were too many reporters; even an assassin among them would be found bemused.

With the crowd bustling and figures moving, there was simply no good angle for a shot.

And surely the assassin wasn’t blind!

Earlier, when Tang Xiao was speaking at the podium, her left hand held the microphone, while her right hand was constantly under the table.

So…

If it came to drawing a gun, Tang Xiao would definitely be quicker!

A press conference.

It featured hidden threats from an assassin as well as the reporters’ scoffing and ridicule.

Secretary Wang felt his heart pounding as if it was about to leap out of his throat.

Nerves on edge!

His back soaked with cold sweat!

Following Tang Xiao as she left in a hurry, he couldn’t help but wish to be instantly at the airport, no, to be transported straight back home!

Working on projects abroad, especially in Africa, was no easy task.

He had always felt that the news was far removed from his life.

Now that he was actually in Africa, he experienced firsthand what fear felt like and longed even more for the peaceful and comfortable life back home.

Thankfully!

On the way back to the hotel room, there were no unexpected incidents.

“Go back and pack your luggage with peace of mind, if there’s an assassination attempt, it will target me and Jie!”

As soon as she entered, Tang Xiao casually dismissed Secretary Wang’s concerns with a phrase.

Then, she went to the bedroom, sent the special agent out to the supermarket to casually buy some food and drinks, and immediately started packing her luggage.

She was getting married this weekend, and she didn’t want anything to go wrong.

This hotel had issues; nobody knew if the food delivered to the room would be poisoned en route.

Naturally, it was best to be careful before leaving!

After packing, Tang Xiao sat beside Wu Jie.

She just quietly watched, not wanting to awaken him.

Before long.

The special agent who went shopping returned.

Knowing what Tang Xiao was worried about, he specifically bought domestic packaged food, like biscuits, sausage, and drinks.

The three of them ate and waited.

Waited for Cai Xu to arrange for the rest of the bidding team to leave, and also for Wu Jie to wake up.

But even after eating and drinking their fill, Wu Jie still hadn’t awakened, though his snoring wasn’t exactly quiet.

Thump thump thump!

The door was knocked.

Cai Xu shouted from outside, “President Tang, the motorcade is ready in the underground garage, we can go to the airport now!”

It was already four in the afternoon.

If they left after dark, it would be even more dangerous.

Tang Xiao nudged Wu Jie beside her and called out several times, but he didn’t wake up.

Glancing sideways, Tang Xiao leaned over and grabbed Wu Jie’s ear.

With a fierce twist, Wu Jie immediately opened his eyes.

“Ouch!

It hurts—hurts to death!”

“Wake up!

We need to hurry to the airport, or else we might indeed die here tonight!”

Die?

Wu Jie’s expression turned fierce, “Let go!

Let go!”

“You silly woman!

My ear is about to come off because of you!”

As soon as he said this, Wu Jie was jolted back to awareness, and Tang Xiao was taken aback as well.

Damn!

How could he ‘curse without a filter’?

Wu Jie had blurted it out without thinking, letting slip a hometown insult.

Tang Xiao released her grip, her eyebrows knitting coldly:

“Silly woman, what does that mean?”

Wu Jie chuckled, “I was complimenting you!

Saying you’re gentle and beautiful!”

Pfft!

The special agent with his back to the two couldn’t help bursting into laughter at once.

Of course, he knew what “silly woman” really meant.

Tang Xiao immediately realized it was no compliment at all.

Instantly enraged, she was about to grab Wu Jie’s ear again.

“You lousy rogue!

After all my worry and fear for you!”

“And you, you dare to call me a silly woman!”

…

Where would Wu Jie dare to just stand there, waiting to have his ear twisted again?

He rolled out of bed and got up, quickly fleeing outward.

“Stop right there!

I’m going to tear off your ear!”

Fuming with anger, Tang Xiao chased after him.

Leaving the bedroom behind, the special agent turned around, pulled up the luggage, and got ready to leave.

They had just left the room.

Tang Xiao caught up with Wu Jie, and the two were flirting and joking with each other.

Cai Xu and two special agents guarded them front and back, heading towards the elevator area.

Just at that moment!

Boom!

A sound like a bolt from the blue, like thunder from a clear sky!

The entire building violently shook with ferocity.

The lights in the hallway went out in an instant, decorative panels from above shook loose, and fell in abundance.

Dust drifted down, the illumination lights went dark, leaving only the emergency signs still lit.

And at the moment the explosion sounded, Wu Jie sidestepped and tackled Tang Xiao to the ground.

The thunderous noise brought intense vibrations and caused everyone’s ears to endure an extremely uncomfortable ringing.

Like the sound of a buzz saw, it buzzed and hummed continually.

And it was clearly not an earthquake; the building wasn’t shaking continuously, and earthquakes couldn’t create such a loud noise.

It felt more like someone had set off a violent explosion in the underground garage where the motorcade was waiting…
