Chapter 165: Chen Tianlong Falls Into a Trap
Of course, Hao Shuai wasn’t stupid. He put on a set of night raid clothes and was masked.
"Who’s there?"
After Zhou Run finished dealing with the documents, he was ready to lie down and sleep, after all, he had a meeting to attend the next day. Sleeping early would ensure he was in the best mental state.
But, just as the light went off, he sensed someone entering the room.
Zhou Run was not an ordinary person; he was a retired special forces king. Elder Mo wasn’t foolish enough to send an ordinary person to such an important meeting.
Although he had great trust in his son Mo Shaoyun, after all, young people are susceptible to temptation.
Just in case, Elder Mo specially arranged for Zhou Run to go along.
Due to a high level of alertness, Zhou Run quickly rolled over to the door of the room, holding a military knife in his hand.
Suddenly, a silhouette flashed in, moving at incredible speed, making Zhou Run somewhat disbelieving. Immediately, a gleam of light flashed before his eyes, and Zhou Run immediately realized it must be a weapon.
Zhou Run dashed to the light switch and turned it on.
The small room instantly became bright. Standing in front of him was a man about six feet tall, not very robust but incredibly agile.
Zhou Run considered in his mind that the person attacking him at this time must be either from the Lin Family or the Hao, Liu alliance, surely there’s no mistake.
"Are you from the Hao Family or the Lin Family? Do you dare to state your name?" Zhou Run deliberately said, knowing for sure the other party would not speak because speaking would blow their cover.
Sure enough, Hao Shuai did not speak and instead started another round of assault.
However, after the initial skirmish, he realized the opponent was no simpleton; trying to kill him was probably impossible.
So, Hao Shuai quickly glanced around, noticing a laptop and a USB drive beside it.
At this point, Hao Shuai smirked and did not continue attacking, but instead, he dashed towards the laptop. Zhou Run was stunned and immediately understood, rushing forward to stop Hao Shuai’s actions.
But Hao Shuai wasn’t easy to deal with. He threw the knife he held at Zhou Run, while Zhou Run, in an attempt to survive, leapt onto his bed sideways.
Just then, Hao Shuai slipped over to the computer, grabbed the USB, and punched the laptop.
Instantly, the laptop was smashed to pieces.
"Damn it! I’m going to kill you."
Clearly, Zhou Run was furious. This person was truly shameless. Although he didn’t know which family he belonged to, such behavior was intolerable.
Zhou Run hurled the knife furiously, while Hao Shuai quickly dodged. But by the time he reacted, Zhou Run’s fist was already in front of him.
With no choice, Hao Shuai gathered all his strength and threw a punch.
"Boom..."
With a dull sound, it was evident both fighters were equally matched. The tremendous force sent both of them retreating two steps, separating by three or four meters.
And it was at this distance that Hao Shuai coldly smirked, darted to the balcony, and disappeared from sight.
Zhou Run remembered the adjacent rooms were occupied by people from the Lin Family and the Hao, Liu alliance, and immediately thought about checking. But considering it was almost midnight and everyone might be asleep, he didn’t want to disturb anyone unnecessarily.
Swallowing his frustration, Zhou Run returned to his own room. The computer was smashed, the USB drive was taken, and what could he possibly accomplish tomorrow? Those documents were organized in one set, and at this point, asking the company headquarters to handle it was clearly too late.
Most importantly, these documents were crucial, and also the company’s secret. Once put into the computer and USB drive, everything was deleted, leaving no backup.
Suddenly, Zhou Run remembered something. Weren’t these documents placed on two USB drives? Young Master Mo seemed to have a copy as well.
With that thought, Zhou Run breathed a sigh of relief, but just to be sure, he decided to confirm it first.
Zhou Run went to Mo Shaoyun’s door, knocked for a while, but there was no response. He quickly called him, yet after a long wait, no one answered. Thinking it over, Zhou Run also called Mo Bolun, but the result was the same.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Run knew something was wrong, but if Mo Shaoyun couldn’t be found, they wouldn’t be able to attend the meeting the next day.
On the other hand, after dealing with the Mo Family matters, Hao Shuai planned to confront Chen Tianlong next.
However, Hao Shuai didn’t like using the same tactic, and it was unnecessary because based on strength, the Chen Family definitely couldn’t compete with the Hao, Liu alliance; hence, he wouldn’t interfere with their documents.
But Hao Shuai held grudges deeply. Bao’s death, along with the humiliation and harm his younger brother Mo Shaoyun suffered, were all things he wanted Chen Tianlong to pay back manifold.
"Hmph, Chen Tianlong, aren’t you quite formidable? I’ll let you feel what it’s like to be tormented by the Baiyun Group." Hao Shuai took out his phone and spoke into it: "Tianyu, did you take care of the two tasks?"
"All settled, boss. We’ve also drugged that chick and are ready to send her to the hotel. You can make your move," Liu Wenbin and Hao Jian clearly undertook other tasks as well.
Indeed, this was at Hao Shuai’s behest, and the person they captured was the beauty Chen Tianlong met on the plane.
When leaving the airport, Hao Shuai called headquarters, asking them to check the identity of that person at South Sea airport. He also sent over a photo he snapped secretly.
Around three in the afternoon, Hao Shuai learned about her detailed situation and specific address. So, after settling matters with the Mo Family brothers in the evening, he arranged for them to have Liu Xiaoqing captured.
Chen Tianlong was in his room, connected to Wi-Fi, just finishing a chat with Wu Mengting, about to sleep when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the door. Instinctively, he flashed to the door, gently opened it, and suddenly a flying knife "whooshed" over.
Chen Tianlong quickly dodged, the knife clanged against the door, then dropped to the ground. A masked figure was seen standing in the corridor, and Chen Tianlong’s anger flared as he chased after him.
The masked figure clearly didn’t linger and headed directly downstairs, and at the stair landing on the second floor, he leaped out of the window.
"Damn, this guy’s actually jumping off a building!" Chen Tianlong was somewhat speechless, shaking his head, deciding not to pursue him any further, he turned back.
Upon returning to his room, Chen Tianlong suddenly sensed something was wrong because on his bed lay a woman, to be precise, a beauty.
Upon closer inspection, Chen Tianlong thought he was seeing things; she was the same beauty he encountered on the plane.
"What’s that smell?"
With his keen sense of smell, Chen Tianlong detected a pleasant aroma, and after sniffing a bit more, realized something was off, hastily covering his nose and mouth.
But it was too late; he had already inhaled a significant amount of rosemary.
Without further ado, the next morning, Chen Tianlong didn’t wake up until nine, only to find a woman beside him. Remembering the events of the previous night, he quickly threw open the blanket, his eyes widening immediately.
"Damn, I got played."
Chen Tianlong was on the verge of tears, meticulously calculating everything yet failing to foresee they would use such a sinister trick, and at this crucial moment.
