Chapter 71

In the top-floor meeting room of the Xu Family Group headquarters, Xu Zongxian paced with a sullen face. A pile of documents lay spread out on the conference table, the red characters on them standing out starkly.

In just half a month, the assets of the Xu Family Group had shrunk by one-third. Nearly a hundred listed subsidiaries under its control had been maliciously acquired by nineteen of them. The group's main overseas market had suffered a severe blow, plunging the entire group into an economic crisis.

"This can't just be a purely commercial action; the cost the other party has paid has already exceeded the losses of the Xu Family Group..."

After reviewing the documents on the conference table once again, Xu Zongxian took a deep breath, opened the door, and ordered his driver to take him to the old house.

Inside the old house, Xu Zongxian first showed the documents to Xu Tianyang, then detailed the events of the past half month. Finally, he said, "Dad, I've already sent people to investigate, but the opponent is hiding too deeply. All the funds come from an offshore shell bank, and there's no way to trace the source. They are determined to wipe us out at any cost!"

"I find it hard to understand who in this world would be willing to spend tens of billions of dollars to bring down our group. Even the world's top five families, who are as rich as nations, probably don't have such a substantial cash flow available."

Xu Tianyang closed his eyes for a long time, knowing that his son was telling the truth. Having been in business for most of his life, even though he had handed over the family business to his children decades ago, his business acumen remained sharp. After a moment of thought, Xu Tianyang opened his eyes and said solemnly, "To want to deal with our Xu family, the other party must meet two conditions: one, they must have assets comparable to or even surpassing those of the world's top five families; two, they must have a deep-seated grudge against us, willing to go to any lengths to destroy our group."

"I've thought about it, and in today's world, the only entity that could meet these two conditions is a mysterious organization called DR."

"DR organization?" Xu Zongxian was taken aback, clearly having never heard of it.

"A while ago, the Dongjia went to New York and personally destroyed the largest gang of the DR organization there, which was one of the forces under the DR organization."

"Dad, do you mean they are targeting the Dongjia?"

Xu Tianyang sneered, "The other party definitely doesn't know about our relationship with the Dongjia. They just assume the Dongjia is part of our group, so they are trying to bring down our group to get to the Dongjia."

"We don't need to tell the Dongjia about this right away. The Xu Family Group itself belongs to the Dongjia, and it's time for us to do our part. I don't believe they can sustain such heavy losses for long."

"You gather all available funds and prepare for a tough battle. In the next few days, I will go to Beijing and Hong Kong to visit some old friends. In no more than three days, I will transfer 8 billion dollars to the account. Let's see who can hold out longer."

Xu Tianyang had been in business for decades, and his network of contacts was extensive. With the relationships he had built over the years, borrowing a few billion dollars was not a difficult task.

Miao Ling returned to Shanghai.

Upon receiving the call, Su Yang, who was free at the time, immediately offered to pick her up. Due to the lingering effects of the "Tianmo Jieti Dafa," Su Yang took a taxi to the airport.

After waiting at the exit for about ten minutes, Su Yang saw Miao Ling, wearing a light yellow short skirt and pulling a small suitcase, smiling as she walked out of the airport toward him.

Being picked up by her beloved, Miao Ling was overjoyed. She walked up to Su Yang, threw herself into his arms, and gave him a passionate kiss, drawing envious glances from the surrounding crowd.

After a passionate kiss, Su Yang lovingly held Miao Ling's hand, helped her with her luggage, and walked out of the airport.

"It's strange that you didn't take a military plane back to Shanghai..."

"Military planes are only used when necessary. Civilian flights are quite convenient now."

Miao Ling, who had completely let down her guard with Su Yang, chuckled and said, "Grandpa has fully recovered. The doctors at the General Hospital called it an unprecedented miracle. I've already told Grandpa about your medicine-making and asked him to order the news to be kept confidential, so there won't be any trouble because of this."

"Do I look like someone who fears trouble?" Su Yang shrugged, "Where do you want to go now?"

"Anywhere is fine; I'll just follow you." Miao Ling revealed a rare playful expression.

Su Yang, who never refused, smiled wickedly, "Since that's the case, let's go home. You know what I mean."

Miao Ling, of course, understood his meaning. Her bright eyes met Su Yang's deep, star-like gaze, and she said emotionally, "I came back to Shanghai to give myself to you completely..."

The hardest thing to bear is the favor of a beautiful woman. Hearing this, Su Yang was deeply moved. He squeezed her soft hand, and the two of them walked out of the airport together.

At the same time, 1,800 meters away from the airport, on the rooftop of a 46-story building, a middle-aged foreign man in black casual clothes was observing Su Yang and Miao Ling through a scope.

"It's hard to believe that this guy's life is worth a billion dollars," Raul thought disdainfully.

As a world-renowned sniper ranked ninth on the world's hitman list, Raul had the god-like shooting skills to kill from 1,800 meters away.

In the world, there are no more than five snipers who can kill from 1,500 meters away, and only two who can do so from 1,800 meters away, one of whom is Raul.

As a top-tier hitman, world-class sniping skills are not his only strength. He is also fluent in eight languages, proficient in six combat techniques that can instantly kill, and skilled in advanced hypnosis and forgery techniques.

Additionally, he is a master of gun modification. A bullet he personally made sells for $100,000 on the black market, and there is no supply to meet the demand.

The modified bullets he creates have three times the killing power of 14.5mm anti-aircraft machine gun bullets but are only half the caliber. They are made of space-grade titanium alloy, capable of penetrating the armor of heavy tanks.

More deadly is the lethal poison he applies to the bullet's tip. This unnamed poison, obtained from a primitive tribe in the Amazon rainforest, remains incurable to this day.

It is said that the poison enters the bone marrow upon contact with blood, and there is no cure, meaning that even a minor graze can cause rapid death.

Raul habitually kissed the stock of his rifle and placed his finger on the trigger.

"This billion dollars is too easy to earn..."

The moment he locked onto the target, Raul's entire spirit and energy were focused, entering a state of complete concentration.

This is the ultimate state that a marksman can achieve, which is rare and hard to come by. Raul, however, can enter this state at will, which is the key reason for his high ranking on the world's hitman list.

At the rental point outside the airport, Su Yang suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed on the distance, a rare sense of danger spreading through him.

If he were still at his peak, he would have immediately detected the sniper 1,800 meters away. However, now he only sensed the threat but could not determine its source.

Noticing Su Yang's unusual behavior, Miao Ling stepped forward,贴到他身边，疑惑地问道：“苏阳，怎么了？”

“有种不好的感觉……”

苏阳的话还没说完，一颗超音速的子弹锁定他的眉心，飞射而来。

以苏阳目前的状态，根本无法做出有效反应，只能微微侧了侧头，但依然无法避开子弹。

然而，就在这一刹那，距离他最近的妙零完成了一个超越她极限本能的动作，顺势一扑，将苏阳撞飞了半步。

这完全得益于前不久苏阳为妙零打通经脉，并传授了《紫气御》的原因，使她的反射神经大幅提高，加上她的职业敏感和苏阳的先知先觉，最终使苏阳躲过一劫。

远处的天台上，劳尔骂了一声“FUCK”，迅速收拾完毕，离开了现场。他实在想不明白，这一枪为什么会失手，那个为他挡子弹的长腿美女反应速度未免也太快了。

“下一次，你这家伙就不会那么幸运了！”

匆匆离开大厦，劳尔上了出租车，心中愤愤，暗自盘算起下一次狙击方案。

妙零推开苏阳的一瞬间，只觉得右肩传来一阵剧痛，下一秒已是人事不知了。

骤逢这等剧变，亲眼目睹妙零倒在血泊之中，苏阳的心都快要崩碎了。

千余载不死生涯，出现在苏阳身边的红颜知己不下百数，在早期，曾有过一次他千年难忘的悲伤往事，苏阳眼睁睁看着心上人死在自己怀中，但却无能为力，这也是导致苏阳从此之后，尤为护短的原因。

早在那一次伤心欲绝后，苏阳便指天为誓，绝不要在今后的生涯中重演当年的那一幕，而一直以来他也是如此去做的，对于心爱的女子，他愿意投入一切力量去呵护她们，不让她们出事。

可此刻，妙零为了救自己，竟是陷入危境，苏阳的心仿佛被狠狠用针扎了似的，悲痛难当，这种揪心的感觉，已经很久没有过了。

“不能让她死，绝不能……”

苏阳飞速从怀中摸出一颗无极金丹，嚼碎后，嘴对嘴喂入妙零口中。

而后飞速将妙零横着抱起，闯入一辆出租车内。

“去汤臣一品。”

苏阳的声音冷得可怕，让五大三粗的司机浑身汗毛直竖，感觉自己稍有违逆，就会被对方碎尸万段一样。

出租车卷起一股尾烟，在苏阳的恐怖压力下，司机将油门踩到底，不发一声飞快驰向汤臣一品。

热心市民已经在现场报了警，等到警察来到时，苏阳早已带着妙零离去，目睹方才那一幕的众人，七嘴八舌地向警方描述了所见所闻，并将苏阳与妙零的长相告知了警方。

In the rental point outside the airport, Su Yang suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed on the distance, a rare sense of danger spreading through him.

If he were still at his peak, he would have immediately detected the sniper 1,800 meters away. However, now he only sensed the threat but could not determine its source.

Noticing Su Yang's unusual behavior, Miao Ling stepped forward,贴到他身边，疑惑地问道：“苏阳，怎么了？”

“有种不好的感觉……”

Su Yang's words were cut short as a supersonic bullet locked onto his forehead and shot toward him.

In his current state, Su Yang could not react effectively, only managing to slightly turn his head, but still unable to avoid the bullet.

However, in that split second, Miao Ling, who was closest to him, completed an action that surpassed her instinctive limits, lunging forward and pushing Su Yang away by half a step.

This was entirely due to the recent work Su Yang had done to open her meridians and teach her the "Purple Qi Mastery," which significantly enhanced her reflexes. Combined with her professional sensitivity and Su Yang's premonition, it ultimately saved Su Yang from the bullet.

On the distant rooftop, Raul cursed, "FUCK," quickly packed up, and left the scene. He couldn't understand why his shot had missed, and the long-legged beauty who had blocked the bullet for the target had an incredibly fast reaction time.

"Next time, you won't be so lucky!"

Rushing out of the building, Raul got into a taxi, seething with anger and planning his next sniper operation.

At the moment Miao Ling pushed Su Yang away, she felt a sharp pain in her right shoulder and immediately lost consciousness.

Witnessing this sudden and tragic event, seeing Miao Ling fall into a pool of blood, Su Yang's heart nearly shattered.

Over a thousand years of immortality, with countless beloved women by his side, there was one tragic event in his early years that he could never forget. He had helplessly watched his beloved die in his arms, unable to do anything, which led to his determination to protect those he loved from then on.

After that heart-wrenching experience, Su Yang swore to the heavens that he would never let such a scene repeat in his life. He has always been willing to invest all his strength to protect the women he loves, ensuring they never come to harm.

But now, Miao Ling had put herself in danger to save him, and Su Yang's heart felt as if it were being pierced by a thousand needles, a pain he hadn't felt in a long time.

"Cannot let her die, absolutely not..."

Su Yang quickly took out a Wuji Golden Pill from his pocket, chewed it, and fed it to Miao Ling mouth-to-mouth.

He then swiftly picked Miao Ling up and rushed into a taxi.

"Go to Tangcheng Yipin."

Su Yang's voice was cold and terrifying, making the burly driver's hair stand on end, feeling that any disobedience would result in his being torn to pieces.

The taxi kicked up a trail of smoke, and under the pressure of Su Yang's terrifying presence, the driver floored the gas pedal and sped toward Tangcheng Yipin without a word.

Concerned citizens had already called the police, and by the time they arrived, Su Yang had already left with Miao Ling. The witnesses, who had seen the entire scene, described what they had seen to the police and provided descriptions of Su Yang and Miao Ling.

PS: The DR organization is about to be fully exposed. Can you guess who the leader of this organization is? Finally, please give a 5-star rating, recommendation, and review. Thank you, Xian Yun.
