Chapter 781 - Cruel Men (II)
Jang Shin checked their pulses, there's no breathing left on them. Then he saw a hole in their forehead. Warm blood was gushing out of it.
Jang Shin could somehow guess what happened here.
When the lights died down, a spy from inside used the chance to release the smoke. When all the guards in the lobby were down, he let the men outside come in.? Those men then shoot the people in the head so they won't ever wake up.
Just imagining that made Jang Shin's blood turned cold.
This group of attackers was truly ruthless. They killed the other party even though they were unconscious and have no means to fight. They spared no one alive. Even the receptionist was killed. With how savage these people were, everyone in the building was in danger.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Consecutive gunshots sounded from upstairs. The security guards from upstairs finally become aware that there were intruders.
Jang Shin did not dally and climbed the emergency stairs.
....
Tang Xinyang took out a gun and her military knife in her compartment. After putting on a mask, she prepared to go out. However, when she opened the door she was stunned to see her secretary standing on the door with the gesture of about to knock.
"Vice-Chairman! Are you alright?"
Tang Xinyang dazedly nodded. She could not see his face clearly but his figure and his voice was indeed her secretary that she did not see the whole day.
Secretary Jian sighed in relief. "It's good you are okay. The power died down suddenly and everyone is in panic. I thought you'll be scared so I came to find you."
Tang Xinyang appreciated his concern. However, there was some nagging feeling in her heart that felt weird. Probably because her secretary who always maintained his distance approached her in his initiative or perhaps that she had only seen him today.
"Where have you been?"
"There's an emergency at home and I only came this afternoon."
Tang Xinyang did not berate him for not calling the office in advance to inform them. Since there were more pressing matters, and she was running out of time, she could not scold him nor dwell in these nagging feelings.
She decided to warn her secretary about the situation.
"Secretary Jiang, there are intruders in this building. You must act calm and tell everyone to seal all doors. The reinforcements are coming, we just have to buy time."
The secretary was shocked by her words. There was panic in his eyes. But when a thought occurred to him, he become determined and calmed down. He then asked carefully, "Then..where is Vice Chairman going? Are you not coming with us?"
"No. The attacker's goal is likely me. Don't worry, I can handle myself. Just make sure all of you stay safe, my people will surely come."
Crash. Bang! Bang!
Sounds of firing were heard from downstairs. It continued for a long time.? A moment later, the series of gunshots was accompanied by screams. Some of the wandering employees must have met a tragic fate.
Tang Xinyang paled. Those people....were her employees.
Tang Xinyang looked at Secretary Jiang. She tried to be calm as she instructed Sectray Jiang again, "Gather all the employees you could find and go to the conference room. The door there is studier than others. You have to go now."
She could only leave these words to Secretary Jiang. She needed to move now.
However, when she was just about to leave she heard Secretary Jiang's weak and sorrowful voice,? "I'm sorry..."
"What?"
Secretary Jang suddenly hit the side of her neck. She felt a slight pain like a bite of an ant from her neck.
Tang Xinyang immediately reacted. She flung his hand away, hold his shoulder, turned around, and pressed down to it. She was about to twist it as anger rose in her heart. "Why did you attack me?"
Secretary Jang could only groan in pain, he let go of the object he was holding.
The empty syringe rolled on the ground.
Tang Xinyang's eyes darkened. "What did you inject me with?"
"It's...a...a p-paralyzing drug. It will not kill you!" Secretary Jang's fake calmness broke. He cried. " I am sorry, Vice-chairman. I have no other choice but to do this. If they don't see you here, they will kill my whole family..." Secretary Jiang cried until his snots mixed with his tears.
Tang Xinyang's heart froze. She was indeed the target. But to get Secretary Jiang who the company cultivated to move against her, these people really have the ability.
She pressed his shoulder, "Who are they? What do they want?"
The lights then opened automatically.
The sudden brightness made Tang Xinyang squint her eyes. She then looked down at Secretary Jiang.
That was when Tang Xinyang saw Secretary Jiang's face. He was still wearing the clothes he had worn yesterday. He looked disheveled and there was not a trace of dignified secretary that he usually had at all. His haggard eyes were red, "I don't know. They came yesterday night and they know everything about me. They are cruel and murderers! They killed my old father who is staying quietly in the province. Then they pointed the gun at my mother. If I don't do what they said, my mother and my sister would die too. "
Secretary Jiang was telling the truth. Yesterday, after he went home- in his two-bedroom condominium, two men with guns suddenly appeared in his room. They told him to cooperate with tomorrow's plan. However, Secretary Jiang was loyal. He had been cultivated by the Tang family since he was a student. He prepared himself to die before doing something like betraying the family he was indebted with.
However, the man suddenly video called his parents. He then saw that his family was crying on the other side. These people actually went to his family who was staying in the province to threaten him!
After Secretary Jian courageously refused that he still won't help even with the face of his family crying on the phone, the other men became impatient and killed his old father.
Hearing his mother and his sister's painful cries and the threatening words of those men, Secretary Jiang was so scared and finally broke. Thus, he could not sleep all night nor eat or drink.. He spent those hours with the men until they brought him here.
