Assistant Lin was even more shocked. Who was this woman who didn't know the difference between heaven and earth? It was so coincidental that his boss happened to be passing by.
Huo Wei hadn't spent a long time at the banquet. He left immediately after handing his gift over. It was like he went over just to take a look. After he left, he headed for the business meeting he had scheduled earlier with a partner from overseas.
This club was one of his, so he intended to spend the night here after the meeting. They were on their way to the private room Huo Wei always used when they heard what they did.
Assistant Lin observed his boss for any reaction, but besides his earlier pause, Huo Wei acted like he hadn't heard anything and continued to their destination.
Assistant Lin could only follow.
Back in the room, they were still in shock. After a while, Su Rong finally responded, "You are lucky we are the only ones here. If it were elsewhere, you could be in serious trouble."
Yu Yuan merely smiled in response. Su Rong's teeth itched, hating iron for not becoming steel.
Yu Yuan knew Su Rong was worried about her, but she didn't think it was a big deal. She could handle herself perfectly well.
Besides, she couldn't help it. The more she heard about Huo Wei, the more her interest grew. Huo Wei had no interest in women. For a person with his sort of character, if he found a woman he truly liked, he was sure to demand serious exclusivity.
Huo Wei was like a volcano that hadn't erupted for a long time. It was likely that no woman would be able to stand his possessiveness.
Yu Yuan knew this, but she didn't care. She thought that it was attractive. Part of the reason was that she was the same. She had never dated anyone before, so no one noticed it.
A man like Huo Wei was a serious temptation to her.
Huo Wei had arrived at his room, and Assistant Lin was with him, waiting for his next orders. Just as he was about to give an order, he paused and looked around sharply.
Knowing they had been discovered, the assassins attacked.
The scene suddenly turned chaotic. Men dressed in black, wielding harp swords coated in poison, lunged forward, attempting to kill Huo Wei. Assistant Lin quickly stood in front of his boss, trying to fend off the attackers.
Almost immediately after the assassins burst in, the guards responsible for protecting Huo Wei arrived. The assassins outnumbered them, but they were more skilled. Gradually the fight turned in their favor.
One of the assassins tried to sneak an attack on Huo Wei. He lunged forward with the sword in his hand aimed at Huo Wei's back.
Huo Wei, noticing quickly, dodged and aimed a powerful kick at the assassin's abdomen. The assassin's body flew across the room and collapsed in the midst of some furniture.
Seeing this, the guards sped up in subduing the assassins. Seeing that they were about to the captured, one of the assassins dropped his weapon and quickly escaped. Fully preoccupied, no one had the time to stop him.
A few minutes later, the guards subdued the rest. Huo Wei coldly surveyed the room. "Find him," he ordered.
Not daring to delay, some of the guards left to find the escapee.
Assistant Lin examined the assassins and said, "Sir, their fighting style and the weapons they wield make them similar to the assassins from Viper."
Viper was an association of assassins highly trained in martial arts. They were very traditional and detested guns. They only used cold weapons coated in poison. It wasn't easy to find them or even hire them.
Huo Wei's murderous voice sounded, "We'll find out."
Assistant Lin shuddered. Boss was pissed.
Yu Yuan had excused herself from the mini party to visit the restroom. She couldn't count the number of drinks she had downed this evening.
When she entered the female restroom, she paused slightly and continued like she hadn't noticed anything. If the person didn't provoke her, she would ignore whoever it was.
Unfortunately, the escaped assassin couldn't read Yu Yuan's mind. On her way out, the assassin jumped out from his hiding place and grabbed her quickly, holding a pocket knife to her throat.
"Stay still."
Yu Yuan rolled her eyes but stayed still.
He seemed like an assassin, but she wondered who he was here for. She didn't have to think for long.
Frustrated at his situation, he cursed, "Damned Huo Wei!"
Viper had miscalculated. The information they received was incomplete, and they didn't investigate further before accepting the job. Their complacency led to their misfortune.
Now they had offended someone they shouldn't have. Even the personal assistant was skilled in martial arts.
He had to find a way to get out before he was caught.
As he was thinking of how to escape, he felt a sharp pain in the hand that held the knife. Yu Yuan had grown tired of being still.
She had gripped his hand tightly, which caused him to drop the knife in pain.
Releasing herself from his hold, she lifted him and threw him over her shoulder. The assassin landed on the floor with a loud thud.
He had miscalculated once again.
He struggled to quickly get up, but Yu Yuan didn't give him a chance. As soon as he raised his head, she gave him a punch that knocked him out cold.
Yu Yuan washed her hands again and left the bathroom, ignoring the man on the floor.
When she stepped out of the bathroom, she suddenly raised her head and looked straight at a hidden camera. The assassin had avoided the obvious cameras, but he was too much in a panic to notice the hidden ones.
This was not her business or problem.
Guards were probably on their way already, so she could leave him there.
Not long after she left, the guards found the escaped assassin lying on the floor of the women's bathroom out cold. They were surprised but quickly captured him.
Huo Wei received the news of the captured assassin along with CCTV footage.
He watched Yu Yuan step out of the bathroom and suddenly raise her head to look at the hidden camera.
Assistant Lin was shocked. Even though he knew there were hidden cameras, he couldn't identify them that quickly. Who was this woman?
Huo Wei paused the video. His eyes darkened with interest as he stared at the lady caught in the camera.
"Investigate. Find out who she is and what she was doing there."
"Yes, Sir."
Huo Wei played the video one more time.
Interesting.
Meanwhile, Yu Yuan returned to the private room as if nothing had happened. After playing for a little while, they called it a day and left for their homes.
