The entire business community in Beijing was shrouded in a haze, and many people were watching closely, ready to witness an exciting showdown. The direct confrontation between Huisheng Enterprise and the Beijing Club could potentially reshape the entire business landscape…
Xiao Yufan, the central figure involved, did not make many public appearances at this time. Aside from persuading several companies to break ties with the Beijing Club, he had not taken any other actions. He was waiting—waiting for the right moment to strike.
As Xiao Yufan had anticipated, people sent by the Beijing Club indeed attempted to target individuals like Jin Dafu. However, these assailants usually ended up crawling back. This gave Xiao Yufan another chance to witness the strength of Team Tian—truly not a single one of them was weak.
At this moment, at the Lan family villa…
Tian Xuan had been stationed here the entire time, which delighted Lan Yue. At least now there was someone to chat with. However, Lan Tianyuan seemed quite uncomfortable.
“We appreciate Xiao Shao’s concern, but my territory is not a place anyone can just barge into, so…”
“So what? Tian Xuan is here to protect us, yet you keep trying to drive her away. It’s not like there’s anyone else to keep me company. Can’t Tian Xuan stay and keep me company for a while?”
Before Lan Tianyuan could finish speaking, Lan Yue had already pouted, her alluring lips painted a delicate red, her charming expression incredibly captivating.
“That’s not what I meant. I just…”
Lan Tianyuan feared no one in heaven or earth, except for this little princess. As soon as she spoke, he became tongue-tied, even causing the usually expressionless Tian Xuan to burst into laughter. Sometimes, this pair of siblings resembled a pair of quarreling lovers.
“You’re just being a chauvinist. You think it hurts your pride to have Tian Xuan protect you, right? Don’t I know you well enough?”
Lan Yue shot her brother a glare, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly, like a crescent moon. Combined with her flawless face, she truly was a beauty capable of toppling cities and nations.
Completely out of arguments, Lan Tianyuan felt somewhat embarrassed. Xiao Yufan had actually sent a woman to protect him—wasn’t that an insult? After all, he was a black belt in Taekwondo.
“If the Beijing Club wants to target you, those dozen or so bodyguards outside the villa probably won’t be enough…”
Tian Xuan could only shake her head at Lan Tianyuan’s chauvinism. It seemed he still had confidence in his guards. Yet, if she were to take action, those people would likely be incapacitated in an instant.
“You actually know that?” Lan Tianyuan was somewhat surprised. The guards outside were all ex-military men, each possessing considerable strength. Yet, Tian Xuan had seen right through them…
“These people might handle street thugs, but if you rely on them as your main protection, you’ll soon realize there’s always someone stronger out there. If they can’t even conceal their presence properly, how can they protect you?”
When Tian Xuan arrived at the villa, she had already sensed the guards’ presence and knew their exact locations. She was confident that, without being detected, she could easily eliminate them all.
Speechless after being refuted, Lan Tianyuan finally reluctantly accepted that Tian Xuan must indeed possess some strength—certainly not weaker than his own guards. After hesitating, he chose not to say anything further. He knew the Beijing Club’s power all too well. If they truly wanted to target him, they wouldn’t settle for small-scale actions…
“So are we just going to wait here? What if no one shows up at all…”
“You really want someone to come?” Tian Xuan countered, her expressionless face betraying no emotion. Was this really the founder of Lingyun Enterprise? Why were his questions so shallow?
Lan Yue coughed slightly, her smile tinged with confusion. Normally, her brother wasn’t like this. Could it be that he had a crush? Understandable, of course—faced with such a beauty, anyone might feel attracted. But why did he have to fall for Tian Xuan?
The atmosphere suddenly turned awkward. Late into the night, Lan Tianyuan showed no signs of sleepiness, his eyes fixed on the surveillance monitors. He actually hoped someone would show up, if only to ease the tension in the air.
Although Lan Yue and Tian Xuan weren’t particularly close, thanks to their connection with Xiao Yufan, the two quickly found topics to chat about. Lan Tianyuan could only sit there helplessly, grumbling internally about Xiao Yufan—why did that guy have such good luck? Enjoying the company of so many beauties, even his own sister had fallen under his spell…
Who knew how long had passed—Lan Tianyuan’s eyelids began to droop, yet the two women showed no signs of fatigue. He couldn’t help but admire their almost inhuman stamina.
Just as he was about to give up out of sheer boredom, he suddenly noticed several shadows appearing on the surveillance footage. They emerged from extremely hidden corners. If not for the hidden pinhole cameras he had deliberately placed, they wouldn’t have been captured at all.
A surge of excitement coursed through him. Lan Tianyuan gestured to Tian Xuan and Lan Yue, his face showing no fear—only a grin.
“Finally, they’ve come…”
Watching the dark figures on the monitor, Tian Xuan’s lips curled into a chilling smile, causing Lan Tianyuan to shiver involuntarily. This woman actually had such a cold side.
“Now what should we do? Should we ambush them? After all, we’re in the dark, and they’re in the open…” Lan Tianyuan rubbed his hands together, licking his lips in anticipation.
“Are you sure you can handle them? These people are specially trained—far stronger than your bodyguards…”
Tian Xuan observed the figures on the monitor, their measured steps immediately indicating their strength. Still, “strong” was relative—compared to members of Team Tian, they were still several levels below.
“Oh right, why haven’t your bodyguards shown up yet? I didn’t hire them to just watch from the sidelines…”
Tian Xuan’s reminder suddenly made Lan Tianyuan remember the guards. Usually so boastful, today they had gone completely silent—as if they had vanished into thin air.
“Your guards have already been dealt with. Did you really think these people came here for a social visit? If I had to guess, there might even be real assassins among them…”
Tian Xuan’s gaze fixed on a shadow in one corner. Her brows furrowed. At that moment, the figure slightly raised its head, smiling toward the location of the pinhole camera. Then, the screen abruptly went black—clearly, the camera had been destroyed…
