The Mad Warriors

Chapter 20 Who Doesn't Know the Hanging Sword?

This wonderful world is truly amazing. This was Wang Xuan's first impression upon entering Shengtai Biotechnology Company.

Why do I say that?

Wang Xuan had been abroad for many years and had seen all kinds of beautiful women. But today he was truly amazed. As soon as he stepped into the company, he was greeted by all sorts of Korean beauties of movie star caliber.

Are they all Korean semi-permanent makeup?

Of course, Korean women put a lot of effort into their appearance; it's fair to say they dress better than women anywhere else in the world. Their refined style naturally attracts men's attention.

With a snotty nose, Wang Xuan approached the front desk: "Park Yoon-joo asked me to come find her." Wang Xuan shouldn't have bothered with Park Yoon-joo, this Korean widow, but he wanted his Zhi Xia to regain her appearance.

The receptionist seemed to have received instructions from Park Yoon-joo beforehand, and immediately led Wang Xuan up to the rooftop in Park Yoon-joo's private elevator.

Looking around, the place reeks of capitalist greed.

There seemed to be many rules here; the receptionist only escorted Wang Xuan out of the elevator before leaving. Stepping out of the elevator, the glass corridor and the faint purple lighting gave it a futuristic feel. Passing through the corridor, he turned a corner and saw a reception desk, behind which a woman was intently staring at a computer screen.

Wang Xuan inadvertently noticed that the woman's slender hands danced across the keyboard like butterflies. Wang Xuan's intuition told him that this woman must be a computer expert.

It seems the woman was too focused on her surroundings to notice that a super handsome, sunny guy was standing right in front of her, the kind of handsome guy Rukawa Kaede would be.

The glass door next to them opened, and the big boss, Park Yoon-joo, strode out with an extremely arrogant air, saying to Wang Xuan, "Come in!"

This was the first time Wang Xuan had encountered such a situation. The secretary was completely incompetent; the boss was personally handling everything. Wang Xuan stared in bewilderment at the woman operating the computer; her hands seemed to possess a soul. He could tell that her proficiency with the computer was even greater than his own skill in handling weapons.

Park Yoon-joo seemed to have misunderstood something and immediately pointed at the receptionist: "Fifth Sister's child is already ten years old, you have no chance." This made Wang Xuan look embarrassed. Did women think that if a man looked at another woman a few more times, it meant that he was interested in her?

Perhaps, that really is the case.

Wang Xuan stared blankly at the receptionist who was performing such amazing feats of skill, and unconsciously uttered, "A master!"

"Fifth Sister is my secretary, information gatherer, and information security consultant. She's naturally very capable. Come in, let's talk." After Park Yoon-joo finished speaking, she walked into her office. But just then, Fifth Sister looked up and adjusted her glasses, making eye contact with Wang Xuan.

Absolutely astounding! Absolutely astounding! This is the first time in my life that Fifth Sister has ever seen such a manga-like man.

Wang Xuan was about to greet his fifth sister, who was surprised by his stunning appearance, but to his surprise, she lowered her head again and continued to busy herself with her own tasks, operating two keyboards.

"This woman is really something," was the only comment Wang Xuan could make. After glancing at the reception desk, Wang Xuan walked into Park Yoon-joo's office. The office still exuded the aura of a chaebol; money, and besides money, the only other thing that seemed to be about technology.

This is clearly a biopharmaceutical company, so why does it look so high-tech? Is Wang Xuan out of touch?

Park Yoon-joo, this Korean widow, surprisingly enjoys drinking tea. This elaborate Chinese tea table appears to be carved from a single tree root. Park Yoon-joo pours herself a cup of fragrant tea: "Please enjoy."

A faint, fresh scent of earth and plants wafted through the air; this tea must be some kind of top-grade tea. Wang Xuan didn't rush to drink it, instead preemptively saying, "You'll definitely ask me to be your bodyguard, but I probably won't agree. The main reason I came here to see you is..."

Before Wang Xuan could finish speaking, Park Yoon-joo interrupted him, saying, "No, no, no, after I learned your identity, I realized how naive I was. So, I just want to buy insurance from you."

How could Park Yoon-joo know Wang Xuan's identity? That's ridiculous.

Even Zhang Haipeng, the deputy director of the Security Bureau, didn't know all of Wang Xuan's identities in the underworld. How much could a female boss, who was also a widow, possibly know?

Unless, she has some shady, underworld connections.

To Wang Xuan's surprise, Park Yoon-joo's confident demeanor was clearly not feigned. Before Wang Xuan could question her, Park Yoon-joo called out towards the door, "Fifth Sister, come in for a moment."

When Fifth Sister came in, Wang Xuan's first thought was, "This eldest sister has a really nice figure." He's a man, after all, so it's perfectly normal.

After the fifth sister came in, she went straight to Wang Xuan's side and the first thing she asked was, "What does it feel like to kill someone?" After hearing this, Wang Xuan could no longer look at the two rather attractive women in front of him from a normal person's perspective.

After Park Yoon-joo clapped her hands, the office lights dimmed, and the glass doors automatically locked. The projector turned on, and Fifth Sister began clicking on her tablet.

The automatic projector began displaying various photos of Wang Xuan, some of which even the National Security Bureau didn't have. Wang Xuan actually started to feel guilty; underestimating anyone would lead to a great loss, and Wang Xuan now truly believed it. Just who exactly was this bespectacled Fifth Sister in front of him?

Wang Xuan was shocked to discover that his fifth sister was an undercover agent in a secret government department!

Wang Xuan's information was projected for a full thirteen minutes before ending, during which the three of them didn't utter a single word. How exaggerated was that? Exaggerated enough that they even dug up information about Wang Xuan's unpaid massage parlor visit in the insect kingdom.

After the projector finished displaying the image and the office lights returned to normal, there was a full five minutes of silence. Wang Xuan's hot tea had cooled slightly, and his eyes now held a chill. Wang Xuan had never imagined that, aside from government officials, an individual could have such a thorough investigation into his background. So, just who was this Fifth Sister before him?

Wang Xuan drank the slightly cool tea in one gulp, a slightly bitter taste assaulting his taste buds.

With a snap, without warning, Wang Xuan crushed the teacup in his hand. His previously lecherous gaze now held the chilling glint of a hawk hunting its prey. After merely glancing at the two women, Wang Xuan said calmly, "No one has ever threatened me like this before."

Park Yoon-joo had witnessed Wang Xuan's killing firsthand, and now she knew even better who he was. That's why she realized she had let a wolf into her house. This was a ruthless assassin with a terrible reputation in the underworld; Park Yoon-joo suddenly realized how naive she had been.

But to everyone's surprise, Fifth Sister remained remarkably calm: "What? This is China, and I've set up a program. There's one minute left. If I don't close the program, all your information will appear at the National Security Bureau headquarters in one minute and one second." Fifth Sister really had guts.

Fifth Sister's presence in China has really made Wang Xuan more restrained. In China, Wang Xuan has to consider everything he does.

Wang Xuan decisively chose to show goodwill, spreading his hands: "Alright! Anyway, I'm here to make a deal with you. We're both just getting what we need, so there's no need to make things so tense, right?" Wang Xuan was willing to admit defeat?

The bigger reason is actually that Wang Xuan is doing this for Liang Zhixia; otherwise, he wouldn't be putting up with this kind of frustration. Moreover, the authorities are certainly aware of Wang Xuan's situation, so Fifth Sister's threats are ineffective.

Fifth Sister started tapping the tablet a few times with her nimble fingers, but interestingly, she immediately took a few steps back after tapping, as if afraid that Wang Xuan would change his mind.

Park Yoon-joo no longer dared to show off in front of Wang Xuan, and her tone softened, losing its arrogance: "So, what kind of deal do you want to make with me?"

Wang Xuan remembered what Park Yoon-joo had said earlier, so he questioned her again: "What kind of insurance do you want to buy from me?" The two seemed to be playing a game of cat and mouse.

But then Fifth Sister interrupted them, saying, "Based on what I know about you two, my boss naturally wants you to protect her, but now he says it's for insurance. So I deduce that he wants to reach an agreement with you: if she gets any trouble, you have to step in and help. As for you, your girlfriend used to be very beautiful, and you're here today purely for her disfigured appearance. Our company is indeed developing a treatment for disfigurement, so you both have your own needs and there's no need to hide anything."

Good heavens, Fifth Sister's analysis was surprisingly insightful, and both Wang Xuan and Park Yoon-joo looked at her with disbelief. Their expressions alone were enough to prove that Fifth Sister's analysis was indeed correct.

As the two looked at Fifth Sister, she pushed up her glasses again and said, "Why are you looking at me? Whether you agree or not is your business."

"make a deal!"

"Can!"

See? It's such a simple thing, why make it so complicated? They even dug up Wang Xuan's identity. What's the point?

Park Yoon-joo immediately added, "I have one condition!"

"I hope my girlfriend will be the first to benefit from your project if it succeeds. I'll agree to any of your ten thousand conditions!" Wang Xuan readily agreed.

But Wang Xuan never expected that Park Yoon-joo's conditions were so bizarre.

"Come stay at my house!" Upon hearing Park Yoon-joo's words, Wang Xuan nearly fell off his stool. Was this widow trying to take advantage of his proximity to her? The rational Fifth Sister immediately clapped her hands: "Boy, I know you men are thinking about a lot of things right now, but stop it."

Before his fifth sister could explain, Wang Xuan slowly looked up at her and said, "What? Do I look like the kind of man who would sleep with any woman? Pfft. Don't be so rude."

Park Yoon-joo panicked immediately. She knew all too well how terrifying the danger lurking around her was. She didn't care what happened to herself, but she wanted her daughter to grow up safely. With Wang Hyun, a capable bodyguard, with them at night, her daughter's safety was fully guaranteed.

Immediately, Park Yoon-joo eagerly offered a hefty price: "The villa next door is mine too, how about I give it to you?"

After thinking it over carefully, Wang Xuan realized that having a villa was better than having none.

Wang Xuan glanced at his fifth sister, who possessed a refined air and wore glasses, and asked, "Should I agree?" His fifth sister tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and replied, "That's your own business."

Wang Xuan noticed that Fifth Sister's earrings looked familiar. Suddenly, Wang Xuan smiled wickedly and looked at Fifth Sister with a lecherous look. This made Fifth Sister a little flustered. Could this young man be interested in a woman who was more than ten years older than her?

In front of Park Yoon-joo, Wang Xuan stealthily whispered in Fifth Sister's ear, "Who in the hacker world doesn't know about Suspended Sword? But who knows that Suspended Sword is a woman?"

After whispering the words, Wang Xuan deliberately blew on Fifth Sister's earring. Coincidentally, Fifth Sister's earring was a silver-white sword.
