Deliberately Approaching-Chapter 569 - 531 Uncle Quan Brought Gifts

At that moment, Uncle Quan’s phone suddenly vibrated a few times, and a message came through.

His expression turned darker.

"Boss, about five minutes ago, Mr. Wu was attacked in Parking Area 1 of the City Hall by an unidentified assailant who shot him in the head, killing him instantly."

"Someone couldn’t hold their patience so soon?" Tang Mei walked towards the wicker chair and slowly sat down.

Someone had acted before her.

"It’s probably foreign forces."

Tang Mei nodded thoughtfully.

So willful and not considering his environment, he was finished just days after taking office.

Daring to use Tangtang to test me!

"Immediately pull back everyone we’ve sent. I’ll discuss it with the president later to avoid trouble."

Uncle Quan quickly unlocked his phone.

The new command was issued in less than thirty seconds.

With Mr. Wu’s death, no one would ever link Tang Xiaowan’s special physical abilities to a secret research project from 45 years ago.

The people who knew about it back then were all gone.

Now the only one alive was Jiang Ruowan, Dr. Jiang’s daughter—today’s Tang Mei.

The relevant files had also been destroyed by Tang Mei.

"Do you think... we should arrange for someone new to go in?" Uncle Quan lowered his voice and asked, "There might be changes at the City Hall."

"No need, let nature take its course."

Tang Mei had no interest in power struggles and political factions; otherwise, she wouldn’t have given up a coveted high-ranking official position to retire.

For her, the safety of her family was more important than anything; she only wanted to protect those she cared about.

As Uncle Quan continued to report on other affairs within the organization, Tang Xiaowan stealthily called Leng Lingxiao, who had just returned to Leng Mansion.

"Have you gotten home yet?"

"Just entered the bedroom."

"Oh, good, that’s good."

She didn’t want to be overheard by others.

"Why are you calling your man? Missing me? Want to have a video call?" Leng Lingxiao entered the cloakroom, completely understanding.

He knew his little wife too well.

"Uncle Quan is back," Tang Xiaowan whispered, her eyes glued to the direction of the third-floor stairway.

Exactly as he had guessed.

"Feeling guilty?"

She indeed felt a bit guilty, worried that Uncle Quan’s trip wasn’t as simple as Grandma had said and that he might have secretly gone to Country T.

"I feel like he didn’t go to Country Y. Do you think he might have changed his route halfway..."

"Let him go; Grandma won’t care."

"Right, it’s not like you’re always..."

Before she could finish, Tang Xiaowan saw Uncle Quan approaching, his footsteps so light they made no sound at all.

A man over sixty years old?

No, she still had to follow and learn properly.

"Uncle Quan is back."

"Yeah, just arrived, and he brought you a gift."

The mention of a gift made Tang Xiaowan incredibly happy, her smile nearly overflowing.

Still so young, only 20 years old.

But when Uncle Quan pulled a black cloth bag from his pocket, she was indeed taken aback.

The outline looked like a gun.

Yes, a gun!

She thought it would be ornaments or crafts with Country Y’s style, especially since most of the gifts she received these days were of that sort.

Moreover, it would visually prove that Uncle Quan went to Country Y, not Country T.

A win-win move.

But Uncle Quan always played unexpectedly.

Had Grandma already found out? Was she worried that Li Zishen would send someone to assassinate me, for self-defense?

"Um... thanks, Uncle Quan!"

"Keep it safe."

Tang Xiaowan smiled sweetly: "Will do."

Then, Uncle Quan decisively left.

Not even asking if I knew how to use it?

"Are you leaving just like that?"

"Forget it, it’s all the same anyway."

It wasn’t until she saw Uncle Quan go down to the first floor that Tang Xiaowan finally picked up her phone again.

"Hi, Huahua, you won’t believe what Uncle Quan brought back for me—it’s a gun, a very, very small one."

While she spoke, she walked toward the bedroom.

At the same time, in the presidential suite, Li Zishen met with a medical doctor from Country Y.

He didn’t want to wait any longer and planned to make his move tomorrow night, believing his mother’s method to be more secure in case Leng Lingxiao didn’t fall for it.

"What are the chances of success?"

"70 to 80 percent."

Li Zishen slowly stood up from the sofa, his expression calm and inscrutable.

"How can it not be one hundred percent?"

"As my mother told me, you are an expert in this field and enjoy a high reputation abroad."

"Mr. Li, there might be some unforeseen circumstances in the actual operation process; I hope you are prepared for that."

"There must not be any unforeseen circumstances; it has to be foolproof. I believe you have the capability."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Li..."

"Stick to what you and my mother had previously agreed on, and add one more laboratory building." Li Zishen interrupted firmly and resolutely.

The doctor was stunned on the spot.

He quickly recalled the relevant details mentioned by Madam Lai before and thought it was not a big problem.

"Okay, no problem."

Li Zishen nodded in satisfaction.

Chen Xin felt uneasy inside.

What’s happening with Brother Shen?

Wasn’t he strongly opposed to his mother’s plan before?

Last time, after so many mercenaries were dispatched and killed by Leng Lingxiao, if this plan was executed again, wouldn’t it wipe out the Leng Family?

A few minutes later, the doctor left with a smile.

"Brother Shen, do you want to consider again..."

"How’s my uncle been these past few days?" Li Zishen frowned and interrupted, "He hasn’t said anything, has he?"

"No, we’ve kept it from him all along."

"What time is Zihan’s flight?"

"Three in the afternoon, together with Mr. Li."

"Alright, I need to go out for a bit."

"Brother Shen!"

Chen Xin hurried after him, not daring to take it lightly, fearing that Li Wanshan might have left some tricks behind.

In his eyes, Li Wanshan was a vicious man who wouldn’t even spare his own brother, probably ready to take down Li Zishen at the first opportunity.

"Don’t we have bodyguards arranged?"

"Yes, we do."

Whenever Li Zishen went out, it was arranged to have bodyguards follow him discreetly, driving cars and following at a distance like ordinary pedestrians, but Chen Xin always felt it wasn’t safe enough without his own accompany.

Moreover, it was a critical period now.

"By the way, Brother Shen, I just need to head to the shopping center for some errands; where are you going? I can just..."

"Don’t follow."

With that, Li Zishen left.

When a man becomes paranoid in love, nothing anyone else says can make a difference.

He couldn’t let go of Tang Xiaowan, even though she was already someone’s wife and was about to have her wedding tomorrow, yet he still held onto his original throbbing and obsession for her.

Half an hour later, Li Zishen drove to a shooting range and picked up his member-exclusive handgun.

He fired five shots at the target.

The room was still the same one, with the same decor, only Tang Xiaowan’s presence was missing.

A few days ago, he had learned in this very room that Tang Xiaowan was the daughter of Ye Wanhua and also confirmed the fact that Ye Wanhua was Yi Xiaodan.

With a bang, the bullet shot out again.

He released all his inner fury and uncontrollable jealousy through the shooting.

"Leng Lingxiao, Huahua?"

"Hmph, you think you can compete with me?"

"Go to hell!"

Time passed slowly until, after half an hour, the cell phone on the table began flashing non-stop, and Li Zishen finally put down the gun and took off his headphones.
