Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five

Zhou Fengliu pointed to the delivery guy on the ground and said.

"..."

Listening to Zhou Fengliu's words, Tao Tao and Fu Rong felt as if they had been offended, but they couldn't say anything.

After all... Zhou Fengliu was telling the truth.

"So what do we do now? Call someone from Northeast China over?"

"Ah."

Zhou Fengliu nodded. He had just responded when he heard some faint sounds.

Following the direction of the sound, his gaze settled on the takeout box that had fallen to the ground.

"Could this be..."

Zhou Fengliu tentatively opened the takeout box.

Inside a box resembling a KFC family bucket, a homemade miniature bomb lay quietly.

"It really is..."

When Zhou Fengliu saw the bomb, it had already been activated; the faint sound just now was the sign that the bomb had been activated and detonated.

As the countdown rapidly reached zero, Zhou Fengliu made Fu Rong and Tao Tao lie down.

He then quickly drew in the surrounding airflow, enveloping the bomb and forming six wind walls on all sides, locking it firmly in place.

boom--

As the bomb exploded, all its power was absorbed by Zhou Fengliu's wind field, minimizing the damage...

Apart from the glass on this floor swaying slightly, it didn't cause any other problems.

"..."

Zhou Fengliu, having dealt with the bomb, looked at the delivery guy on the ground with a very displeased expression.

You know, he's usually the one who makes missiles by hand to blow up others, so this sudden appearance of someone holding a bomb and wanting to die with him made Jay Chou very unhappy.

Judging from the power of this bomb... it's estimated that the other party wanted him to bring the takeout into the house, and then detonate it the moment he opened the takeout... killing him.

and many more...

If that ticking sound was a detonation signal... then the assassin disguised as a deliveryman was already unconscious and couldn't have detonated it...

Are there accomplices?

Zhou Fengliu stroked his chin as he thought about this.

Chapter 497 A Traitor Emerges in the Northeast Region! Was it done by Bi He Ren? (Second Update)

A moment later.

After receiving news of Zhou Fengliu's assassination attempt, Gao Lian rushed to the scene with Zhang Zhitao and other employees from the Northeast region, and sealed off the entire hotel.

"Mr. Zhou, are you alright?" Gao Lian asked Zhou Fengliu with some concern.

It was clear he was genuinely panicked.

If Zhou Fengliu gets into trouble in the Northeast region, then he, as the head of the Northeast region, will definitely be held responsible... The entire Northeast region will be thoroughly investigated by headquarters.

"Yeah, it's nothing..."

Zhou Fengliu simply responded with a calm statement.

He seemed to have lost the relaxed feeling he had yesterday and appeared somewhat serious.

That's understandable...

Any board member would be upset after being dealt with like this.

"This was the bomb he used; it's already detonated. Luckily, I was on this floor, so the explosion didn't injure more people..."

"If this bomb injures an ordinary person... Brother Gao, the consequences could be quite serious."

Zhou Fengliu placed the debris from the explosion in Gao Lian's hand. Although there was no blame in his tone, Gao Lian could still detect some displeasure.

“Mr. Zhou is right. I’ll take it back and investigate immediately... I’ll definitely give Mr. Zhou an explanation,” Gao Lian immediately stated.

"Um... Also, Brother Gao, is there really no problem within the Northeast region?"

Zhou Fengliu changed the subject, paused for a second, and then said:

"It may not be the best way to put it, but I doubt many people know my exact address here. I just arrived in Shenzhou yesterday, and today I was attacked..."

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Gao Lian frowned and understood what Zhou Fengliu meant.

Having just arrived in China yesterday, and already under attack tonight, the speed at which this information was leaked suggests only one possibility: an insider leaked their whereabouts...

Is there a mole in the Northeast region?

The instant the thought of an insider crossed Gao Lian's mind, information about his employees flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

“I understand what Mr. Jay means… I will investigate carefully. Please don’t stay here tonight, I’ll find you another place…” Gao Lian said, adjusting his glasses.

"Um..."

Zhou Fengliu had no objections.

...

That night seemed to last a long time.

It's safe to say that none of the employees at Nadutong's Northeast branch slept tonight.

Gao Lian had to keep an eye on Hirumaru, investigate the company's internal moles, and also investigate the forces that had attempted to assassinate Zhou Fengliu...

In less than a day, Gao Lian was under pressure from three sides, forcing him to work non-stop.

He even enlisted Gao Erzhuang's help in investigating Zhou Fengliu's assassination...

...

"Brother Gao, that assassin... just committed suicide." Zhang Zhitao said to Gao Lian as he entered the office.

"I see."

Upon receiving this news, Gao Lian merely nodded wearily to indicate that he understood. Seeing him raise his head and look at Zhang Zhitao before him, he asked again:

"Old Zhang, are you the mole?"

"?"

Upon hearing Gao Lian's question, Zhang Zhitao was taken aback at first, then showed a puzzled expression:

"Brother Gao, do you doubt me?"

"You know me, I've been with you for so many years... Besides, I'm your brother, and you should know my fellow disciples well too..."

Gao Lian nodded in response to Zhang Zhitao's words.

indeed.

Zhang Zhitao's resume is flawless, and he's been with him for so many years; if he were a mole... he probably would have been caught long ago, and wouldn't be here today...

"Old Zhang, what do you think of our company...?"

Before Gao Lian could finish speaking, Zhang Zhitao shook his head and interrupted, saying:

"Brother Gao, I'm an honest man, don't ask me this question... I just do my job well and have never doubted my men..."

"..."

Hearing Zhang Zhitao's words, Gao Lian was silent at first, then sighed:

"Old Zhang, go and get back to work..."

"Okay." Zhang Zhitao nodded, then turned to leave. He had just reached the door when he turned back, hesitated for a moment looking at Gao Lian, and then said:

"Brother Gao, it's not necessarily that there's a mole within our ranks who leaked the information... What if it's some outside force tracking Mr. Zhou here to assassinate him?"

"..."

Gao Lian didn't say much after hearing Zhang Zhitao's words.

If that were true... that would be great, but unfortunately, the possibility is very low...

...

The next day.

The news of Zhou Fengliu's assassination also reached the ears of Tang Miaoxing, the head of the Tang Clan, and Lü Ci, the head of the Lü family.

While waiting for the arrival of the Fish and Dragon Society's president, Tang Miaoxing, Lü Ci, and others sat with Zhou Fengliu in the conference room.

During this time, Tao Tao was called out by Tang Miaoxing once.

As for what they're going to do with it...

Without a doubt, it was a barrage of insults.

As a Tang Clan assassin living next door to Zhou Fengliu, he was approached by other assassins and nearly killed Zhou Fengliu in an explosion...

This is a disgrace to the Tang Clan!

Anyway, when Tao Tao came back again, she was like a wilted eggplant, looking like she had no will to live.

Money is hard to earn, and even the best food is hard to eat...

Earning double pay is definitely awesome, but it also means getting a lot of flak.

...

"Manager Gao, have you found anything about the person who assassinated Chairman Zhou last night?" Lu Ci asked Gao Lian.

He seemed quite curious about Zhou Fengliu's assassination attempt last night.

He held back even yesterday, like a mad dog. He can't understand which force would be so foolish as to assassinate the chairman of All-Tong...

"Well... we don't know who did it yet, but one thing is certain: there are definitely some problems within our organization..." Gao Lian replied.

"I overheard Tao Tao mention something about the assassin who tried to kill Jay Chou... the weapon he used seemed to be a long thorn. I wonder if Manager Gao could let our Tang Clan take a look..."

Tang Miaoxing took over the conversation and looked at Gao Lian.
