The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

Chapter 876 - 873: Mutual Destruction 4

Zhang Xiang looked across the way, clearly still shaken.

"They split into two groups. The first group attacked from the front, but the real killing firepoint was across the street..."

Liu Daqing followed the direction of his finger and finally saw the high-rise on the side. On the eighth floor there happened to be a rooftop. On the rooftop stood a flower trellis; even in winter it was dense with branches and leaves, covered in pale yellow little blossoms.

She didn’t know what plant it was, but this spot could absolutely conceal a well-trained sniper.

She walked over and looked at the still-open window.

It was a vent window, usually kept shut, and made of bulletproof glass. But that day, for some reason, this window had been opened.

Liu Daqing casually brushed the dust spattered on the windowsill; clearly it was left by the sparks of bullets, still carrying that vague smell of powder and smoke.

"Who opened it?"

Zhang Xiang stood with his hands at his sides. "This window is usually closed, but occasionally someone opens it for ventilation."

It was a very small window, used for nothing more than letting in some air, so it was impossible to determine whether this was a momentary oversight or deliberate.

"What losses did we suffer?"

"Madam, please come inside and see."

Liu Daqing walked into the office.

She stopped at the fifth level of the password lock.

This area was already under specially treated full surveillance measures. Never mind ordinary bullets, even common high explosives might not blow it open in one go.

"Inside is completely intact. They didn’t have time to break in before all the security guards arrived."

Liu Daqing let out a breath.

"Any casualties on their side?"

"From the scene, just some bloodstains, but no bodies left behind. Only Liu Bing... ai..."

Liu Daqing thought for a moment. "Tomorrow, send someone to deliver a check to Liu Bing’s family, and properly arrange things for his relatives."

"Please rest assured, Madam."

When Liu Daqing came out, she saw all the surveillance around them had already been fully reactivated, and in some concealed spots, all the security forces were already in place.

She inwardly praised Zhang Xiang for his composure; if not for his experience, the place would already be in chaos.

The car pulled out. At the corner, just as Zhang Xiang was about to drive in the direction of the Wan Family, Liu Daqing said in a low voice, "Take the left."

Zhang Xiang was stunned.

"I’m going to pay an old friend a visit."

Zhang Xiang didn’t dare say more, but his heart was in turmoil. After all, Liu Daqing had only one assistant, Wang Yi. Wang Yi was nearing middle age, an unremarkable-looking woman; because she wasn’t striking, everyone assumed she was just the old lady’s personal health aide or something. This accident was very likely the work of their enemies. Now that Liu Daqing was going straight to their door, wasn’t that extremely dangerous?

But given his position, he didn’t dare utter a single word of refusal before Liu Daqing.

Besides, Liu Daqing’s tone left no room for discussion.

Zhang Xiang said nothing, merely changed the car’s direction at once.

When the car stopped, Liu Daqing got out alone.

Zhang Xiang grew anxious. "Madam, let us go with you."

Wang Yi was anxious as well. "Madam, I’ll go in with you."

Liu Daqing said calmly, "What’s there to be afraid of? It’s not some dragon’s pool or tiger’s den. You wait here."

The two of them watched helplessly as she strode inside.

The Zhou Mansion was calm and peaceful.

The servant opened the door and, seeing a strange old lady, looked obviously impatient. After all, the households of the wealthy were not like ordinary people; the Zhou Family home was a constant stream of cars and visitors, and it was nothing unusual for uninvited guests to come fawning and currying favor.
