Chapter 1297: They All Deserve to Die
This way, they would meet the same fate as those people last night, being thrown into prison.
Unable to escape and determined to go to jail, the man was ruthless. He didn’t know where he got a dagger and stabbed toward Jiang Xue.
Seeing this, Jiang Xue’s expression darkened. She swiftly dodged and at the same time, lifted her foot and kicked the opponent fiercely.
With that kick, the only man still standing was thrown out and crashed heavily to the ground.
After dealing with the assassins, Jiang Xue’s expression eased a little, then she walked towards those people. When she reached them, she kicked each one again before taking out her phone to call the police.
Daring to deceive her, they all deserved to die.
The police arrived quickly. After taking the people away, they also asked Jiang Xue to come with them for a statement. When it was all done and she returned to the company, it was already eleven o’clock.
Looking at the pile of unfinished work on her desk, Jiang Xue couldn’t help but rub her forehead. Although she wasn’t worried about her safety, these endless assassination attempts were annoying.
However, there was no immediate target for her to strike back at, so she could only wait and see. Besides, she believed that since these were aimed at the old leader, Mr. Lan would surely take action.
Now, it was just a matter of when Mr. Lan and his people would find the mastermind behind Mu.
Once they found the mastermind behind Mu, everything would be easier to handle.
Thinking of this, Jiang Xue decided to temporarily set aside the assassin issue and focused on dealing with work matters seriously. The people at the company weren’t aware of Jiang Xue’s sudden departure and return.
The only one who knew, the secretary, didn’t dare to ask much, especially since Jiang Xue didn’t seem troubled, which reassured her.
After finishing her work, it was already past twelve. Jiang Xue, as usual, went to the company cafeteria for lunch.
While eating, Mr. Lan called again, inquiring if Jiang Xue needed bodyguards. Yet again, Jiang Xue refused.
Seeing Jiang Xue’s insistence, Mr. Lan let it go. After hanging up, he instructed his subordinates to make sure they find the mastermind quickly.
Although he had suspicions, he lacked evidence. Therefore, he ordered his subordinates to focus on gathering evidence against Wu Ding.
After hanging up on Mr. Lan, Jiang Xue resumed her meal, but before she could eat more, the phone rang again. Seeing it was Mu Qiancheng calling, she felt a surge of joy.
Mu Qiancheng informed Jiang Xue that the person had been found and would report to her home by six in the afternoon, asking Jiang Xue to leave work early and go home.
Jiang Xue agreed with a smile, chatted with Mu Qiancheng for a while, and then hung up. But when she resumed eating, the food had already gone cold.
Looking at the cold meal, Jiang Xue lost her appetite, stood up to settle the bill, and left. Seeing her leave after only a few bites, the restaurant owner couldn’t help but ask, "Miss Jiang, why did you eat so little today? Was something wrong with the food?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xue was taken aback. Seeing the worried face of the owner, she smiled and replied, "No, I just don’t have much appetite today."
The owner was reassured and proceeded to settle the bill for Jiang Xue.
Back at the company, Jiang Xue remembered she needed to leave early, so she called her secretary for the important documents and signed them first.
After signing the documents, Jiang Xue informed Shangguan Wenbin and went home early. She arrived at home at five o’clock, with an hour left until her scheduled time with Mu Qiancheng.
