Chapter 521: Chapter 521: Beauty Company is in Trouble
As a member of the "Dragon Guard," the Dragon Maiden certainly knew the notorious "Wrathful Beauties," the assassin group that gave headaches to countries around the world. Its notoriety spread far and wide with members all over the globe, infiltrating everywhere, making it impossible to guard against.
Many of the vicious incidents that had occurred in Huaxia over the years involved the "Wrathful Beauties." Therefore, they had been blacklisted by the Huaxia "Dragon Guard," who were determined to eliminate them.
What the Dragon Maiden hadn’t expected was that Fang Bai would become a target for assassination by the "Wrathful Beauties," and from the tone of Fang Bai’s voice, it seemed that the "Wrathful Beauties" had already lost quite a few assassins trying to kill him.
If what Fang Bai said was true, then "Wrathful Beauties" would certainly see him as a thorn in their side, constantly pursuing him relentlessly unless Fang Bai could completely erase "Wrathful Beauties" from this world.
"’Wrathful Beauties’ is an assassin organization; they are after you because they must have been offered a commission by someone. But... who would hate you so much that they’re willing to pay a high fee to hire ’Wrathful Beauties’ killers to take you down?"
The Dragon Maiden asked, deep in thought.
"In this world, there’s more than one or two people who want me dead. However..."
Fang Bai’s gaze was sharp, his eyes gleaming with intensity, and his handsome face was as cold as frost as he said coldly, "Whoever it is had better hope I don’t find out. Otherwise, I’ll make sure they pay a price a hundred times over!"
The Dragon Maiden shivered at the sight of Fang Bai’s icy expression and the chilling sound of his voice, silently mourning the person who wanted to kill him.
How powerful was Fang Bai? Even her most admired grandfather admitted to being less skilled than him by a margin. Who in this world could withstand his thunderous wrath?
What about the "Wrathful Beauties"? Provoking Fang Bai was inviting his fierce retaliation!
The Dragon Maiden knew someone like Fang Bai had no reason to lie; if he said the explosion was the work of a "Wrathful Beauties" assassin, then it was undoubtedly true.
"I’ll return to Yanjing at once and ask Grandfather to mobilize the power of the ’Dragon Guard’ to locate the headquarters of the ’Wrathful Beauties.’ As soon as there’s news, I will notify you immediately. Together, we’ll eradicate this notorious assassin organization!"
The Dragon Maiden spoke solemnly and seriously to Fang Bai.
After seeing off the Dragon Maiden, Fang Bai took another loop around Zhongzhou City, hoping to find some traces of the "Wrathful Beauties" assassins, but returned disappointed.
After the sixth day of the new year, all the medical staff recruited by Fang’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic returned to work. With their help, Fang Gang, Yang Mei, and Ghost Hand had some relief.
Ghost Hand took three days off to take the three Heaven Level Martial Artist relics he had retrieved from Misty Rain Tower and two other sects to Myriad Medicine Valley. There, he either burned or buried the relics as a tribute to the spirits of the disciples who had perished in Myriad Medicine Valley.
On the morning of the tenth day of the first lunar month, Fang Bai suddenly received a phone call from Xia Chenyu.
"Fang Bai, something has come up. Can you come to my office? I can’t leave here right now..."
The voice of Xia Chenyu on the phone sounded anxious, and the noisy sounds of people around her indicated that many were present. It was unclear what had happened,
"Okay! I’ll be there right away!"
After hanging up the phone, Fang Bai dashed out of the house and drove as quickly as possible towards the headquarters of Beauty Company.
Fang Bai, being a member of the "Dragon Guard," possessed special credentials from the "Dragon Guard," so he wasn’t afraid to break any traffic rules. He frequently changed lanes aggressively and ran countless red lights along the way.
He sped along desperately, covering what was normally a thirty-minute journey in just fifteen minutes.
Arriving in front of the headquarters building of the Beauty Company, Fang Bai got out of the car and immediately furrowed his brows at the scene before him.
In front of the Beauty Company headquarters, for some unknown reason, hundreds of people had gathered. Many held banners with alarming slogans such as "Unscrupulous Enterprise," "Immoral Company," "Restore My Beauty," and "Compensate My Loss."
Some people raised their voices, shouting hoarsely and cursing non-stop, their words tough on the ears.
In addition, numerous media reporters surrounded the crowd, interviewing some of the gatherers and providing live coverage.
On the Beauty Company’s side, a dozen strong security guards formed a line, blocking the entrance to the building, vigilantly watching the gatherers opposite them, to prevent them from forcing their way in.
These security guards were recommended to Xia Chenyu by Su Yifei. Most were ex-special forces, each skilled and disciplined. In terms of loyalty, they were beyond reproach and would not abandon their post at the first sign of trouble.
Behind these guards stood some of Beauty Company’s senior employees.
At this moment, Beauty Company’s CEO Xia Chenyu was surrounded in the middle by these employees, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, her expression grave.
After Fang Bai arrived outside the gates of Beauty Company, although the entrance was blocked by a dense crowd and Xia Chenyu could not see him, intuitively, she immediately brightened up and squeezed out from among her employees, quickly walking toward the gate.
"President Xia, it’s chaotic outside, you can’t go out!"
Xia Chenyu’s personal secretary Zhao Xiaomeng was startled and hurriedly followed to persuade her.
"President Xia, the mood of those people outside is very unstable, you could be in danger if you go out! Let’s wait for the police to arrive!"
Beauty Company’s sales manager Wu Xiuyun also advised.
Zhao Xiaomeng and Wu Xiuyun were veterans of the Beauty Company. When the company was on the brink of bankruptcy, they had always followed Xia Chenyu and never left, earning her deep trust.
The two of them did not know that Xia Chenyu was a martial artist. Although there were many people gathered outside, if Xia Chenyu wanted to leave, none of them could hurt her.
"Fang Bai is here! I’m going out to meet him!"
Xia Chenyu smiled at Zhao Xiaomeng and Wu Xiuyun.
Her heart had been somewhat troubled and anxious because of what happened today, but after sensing Fang Bai’s presence, she immediately felt settled.
"Mr. Fang is here? That’s wonderful!"
Zhao Xiaomeng and Wu Xiuyun cheered, their faces lighting up with joy.
As Xia Chenyu’s confidantes, Zhao Xiaomeng and Wu Xiuyun both knew that the reason Beauty Company could miraculously rise from a small company on the verge of bankruptcy to one of the top three in sales in the industry in less than a year was all thanks to Fang Bai’s help.
They also knew that Fang Bai was one of the major shareholders of the company, and they were clearly aware that even though Xia Chenyu was the owner of Beauty Company, if someday Fang Bai decided to take control of Beauty Company, Xia Chenyu would certainly hand over the company without hesitation.
Therefore, both Zhao Xiaomeng and Wu Xiuyun regarded Fang Bai as the true boss in every sense. Like Xia Chenyu, they had an almost blind reverence for Fang Bai, believing him to be an omnipotent figure.
Although today’s incident was rather serious and could potentially cast a shadow on the future development of Beauty Company, Xia Chenyu, Zhao Xiaomeng, and Wu Xiuyun all believed that as soon as Fang Bai arrived, everything would calm down.
