(5) Rogue's audacity

  Wang Nian did not return to the company but instead went to Haitian Villa Garden where he had his own house at the foot of a hill.

  Wang Nian needs some quiet time, as too many things have happened recently, even he, a man who has come out of blood and knives, cannot bear it. Moreover, Wang Nian instinctively senses an unsettling presence, and a traitor appears by his side.

  Qifeng Chuangye Co., Ltd. is a real estate company, and like most real estate companies, Qifeng Chuangye also started with gray income. After making some progress in its business, it began to hoard land at low prices and sell it to foreign merchants or directly to government-related units at high prices. Qifeng Chuangye's use of funds broke industry conventions, with more than half of the funds used for actual construction, and the house prices were also lower than those of other real estate companies. Due to its strong backing in both black and white markets, other real estate companies did not dare to ask questions, so every building constructed was considered a people's heart project, and it was evaluated as an advanced enterprise year after year. As for the name "people's heart project", even if no steel bars were used, it could still be bought.

  Such a company has people from both sides of the law who view it as a thorn in their side and a pain in their flesh, with open and secret calculations.

  Wang Nian was very tired, from a street thug to the king of fighting on one street, then to the big brother in one district and one city, and finally transformed into a well-known entrepreneur. Few people can understand the hardships and bitterness in between.

  Five years ago, Wang Nian thought he had met his soulmate, Gao Juan, a beautiful woman who suddenly entered his life and quickly occupied all his vision. Wang Nian forgot his identity, thinking he could get her love, but the reality was like a heartless cold rain, Gao Juan already had someone she loved, a policeman. Moreover, after Gao Juan became the financial director for half a year and finally got in touch with the true account of Qifeng's entrepreneurship, her words made Wang Nian uneasy. For those who have long been walking on the blade, the way to eliminate unease is simple and practical: kill, even if it's someone as close as a loved one.

  Just as Wang Nian thought he had forgotten Gao Xuan, another figure appeared in his life, Gao Qin.

  Gao Qing didn't have her sister Gao Yan's beauty, nor did she have Gao Yan's intelligence, but Wang Nian saw a shadow of Gao Yan in her. They met at a corporate recruitment fair, and with just one glance, Wang Nian's hard heart was shattered. When the girl found out that the person standing in front of her was the CEO of Qifeng Entrepreneurship, she showed hatred that made Wang Nian shiver. However, Wang Nian still approached her like a moth to flame, using what he thought was true love to move her, until Gao Qing fell into his arms.

  But when Wang Nian heard Gao Qin say that the child in her belly was not his, everything fell apart.

  "Director Wang, Secretary Zhou called to ask about the land in the East District. Is Vice Mayor He going back on his word again? The same thing happened with that plot of land in the development zone last time. Do you think we should get Anna to give the video she recorded to Vice Mayor He..."

  "You deal with it! I'm tired and want some quiet."

  Yang Ming's voice disappeared, and it was unknown how he left without making a single footstep sound. The entire villa, except for the ticking clock, only had Wang Nian's heartbeat.

  The sky had already darkened, and Wang Nian was still sitting on the sofa. He didn't want to be like this, but he didn't dare move a single bit.

  At some point, a figure appeared in the empty leisure hall, silently standing behind Wang Nian. He was holding the American-made metal folding stock Rheinmetall M55 assault rifle from Wang Nian's collection cabinet.

  Cold sweat rolled down from his forehead, Wang Nian heard the call of death whispering in his ear.

  "Who are you?"

  "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that you're going to die. Accept the judgment from heaven! You sinner, you will go to hell!"

  Wang Nian's hand was shaking, he was hesitating, not knowing whether to take a gamble. Under the sofa cushion was a handgun, and on the table three steps to the left was a Tang knife. As soon as the gunshot sounded, the subordinates outside the door would hear it. Even if all the subordinates on the second floor were dead, there were still four masters in the secret room on the first floor, making escape not so easy. But the premise was that he was still alive. However, for a killer who could sneak in silently and steal guns, Wang Nian's thoughts were childish and laughable.

  "Who hired you? I'll pay four times the price, kill him after I'm dead."

  "This is probably difficult, because I am also going to hell, and the Heavenly Father is in heaven. Change your request and listen."

  "You really have personality, are you the legendary Blazing Angel?"

  Wang Nian's hand successfully reached under the sofa cushion, but he didn't feel anything!

  "As an assassin, I think I've said too much. Are you ready?"

  Wang Nian saw the killer raise his gun through the floor-to-ceiling window in front of him. For a moment, he felt that he had been penetrated by high-speed bullets, and blood and internal organs sprayed out from the hole in his chest, like some filthy foam. Such scenes were often seen by Wang Nian in the past decade, but they were all others.

  "One million! I'll give you a check, and after I die, you have to guarantee to take down the boss!"

  The killer hesitated, and Wang Nian had been waiting for this moment. He suddenly darted to the left, while grabbing a cushion and throwing it at the killer. The gunshot rang out, and the cushion successfully disrupted the killer's aim, causing all the bullets to fly high. Wang Nian obtained the Tang knife and leapt over the solid wood table, but in the next instant, he fell into another desperate situation. Inside the scabbard was a short-handled broken knife!

  Wang Nian's mind was in a mess, with flashes of pictures passing by, and he somewhat understood what had happened. Betrayal, complete betrayal, no one would come to save him.

  "It's really unexpected, I didn't think that a comfortable life would also fail to weaken you."

  The killer's voice is still filled with holy sorrow, and he has entered the angel's role mentality.

  "But the Lord says, 'All who are guilty will be judged.'"

  Wang Nian heard the sound of changing magazines, which was a trick to lure him out, but also an opportunity. Wang Nian pushed against the heavy table and shouted as he charged towards the killer, and the gunfire sounded again, this time from two guns.

  Splinters flew and pierced into his flesh, twisting as if they had come to life. But Wang Nian felt nothing, he only knew that he had to take care of this killer before he could escape from this place. Outside the villa, a motorcycle was hidden, known only to him. In the underworld, to survive, one could only rely on oneself.

  When the assassin's bullets were all fired, the table also reached his front, Wang Nian jumped up from behind, holding a broken knife and slashing down. The assassin dodged to the side, avoiding the blade that was only a few centimeters away, dropped the submachine gun, and swung it backhand from his waist, the cold light flashing by, and Wang Nian's arm had already been cut open with a long bloody gash. The two crossed paths, Wang Nian didn't stop as he rushed towards the window, and when he crashed into the glass that had already been shattered by bullets, Wang Nian jumped back and threw the broken knife at the assassin who was catching up.

  "Ah!"

  At such a close distance, the killer couldn't completely avoid it and was struck by the broken sword. He paused for a moment, unsure where he was injured, while Wang Nian had already escaped.

  Several figures emerged from the shadows in the garden of the villa, and Wang Nian saw them as soon as he landed. After landing, he grabbed a handful of weeds and pebbles and scattered them around, then rushed towards the gate. Those people were supposed to be Wang Nian's bodyguards, but at this moment they all held sharp blades and pounced on him without saying a word. The pebbles and weeds did not delay them for much time, only Wang Nian's movements were faster, and he had already successfully escaped from the villa gate.

  "How fierce!"

  In the living room on the first floor of the villa, Yang Ming stood with his arms around him in front of the window, behind him was a row of subordinates, all standing still and expressionless.

  "No matter where, no matter what means, I want to see his head."

  After everyone left the room, Yang Ming finally let out a sigh of relief, his hands shaking so much that he couldn't even hold onto his cigarette.

  Zhang Haiyang stood in front of the villa window, watching the situation below with a high-powered telescope. He had been standing there for three hours and finally waited for something to happen. Gunshots rang out from Wang Nian's villa, people were in chaos, some rushed out of the villa, and in front of them was a motorcycle speeding away.

  "Are you just waiting for him?"

  Lily appeared beside Zhang Haiyang, wearing only a nightgown and wrapped in gauze.

  "Ah, the play has begun."

  Zhang Haiyang turned around and hugged Lili horizontally, carrying her back to the bed. Under the soft light, Lili's eyes were pure and made one feel completely at ease. Zhang Haiyang suddenly felt a pang in his heart, this expression really had some similarities, the same stubbornness.

  "What do you want me to do? Of course, it's about paying money."

  Lily said seriously, Zhang Haiyang's face floated with a smile, and he kissed her deeply.
