The rain in Qingchuan fell suddenly.
It was almost the holiday season, yet the weather seemed uncooperative.
Heavy rain poured down, cold and mercilessly washing away the filth of this city.
"Fortunately, our flight landed early; otherwise, we might have been affected by this heavy rain!"
The female secretary couldn't help but murmur.
Mu Wanrou walked ahead, silent as usual, in line with her cold personality.
The female bodyguards surrounding her were equally silent.
This made the secretary's solitary chatter feel somewhat awkward.
She had made herself look foolish, but could only silently close her mouth.
"President Mu, please get in the car!"
Seeing the stretched limousine prepared for her, the secretary hurriedly jogged forward to open the car door for Mu Wanrou.
As usual, she was quite skilled!
But this time, Mu Wanrou paused, not moving forward or getting into the car.
She elegantly removed her sunglasses, revealing a pair of clear, bright eyes like autumn waters.
Her long, slender eyebrows carried a hint of subtle pressure.
Especially under her gaze, the coldness that kept people at a distance became even more intense!
"Xiao Yan, how many years have you been working under me?"
Mu Wanrou looked at her female secretary and asked casually.
"In response to President Mu, it's been five years! W-what's wrong?"
"President Mu, let's get in the car first. We shouldn't keep the lady and the master at home waiting!"
The female secretary still wanted to maintain her usual composure and calmness.
But she instinctively averted her gaze, not daring to meet her eyes, and a thin layer of cold sweat formed on her forehead.
"Five years, huh? That seems quite long..."
Mu Wanrou's tone suddenly shifted from a sentimental one to a sharp one.
"Then you should know what kind of person I am! I hate those who betray me the most!"
"Actually, I've been waiting for your answer all along. But unfortunately, it seems I still haven't received it!"
These words made the female secretary completely tense.
She forced out a strained and awkward smile, pretending not to understand.
"President Mu, what are you talking about?"
"Let's get in the car! If there's something to discuss, we can talk in the car. Your time is precious; there's no need to waste it here..."
But Mu Wanrou still looked at her coldly, expressionless and unmoved.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became tense.
"President, please... get in the car!" (with a trembling voice)
"Please, President Mu, let's get in the car! (pleading)
"Really, we just need to get in the car! Why won't you get in the car, President Mu!!!" (hysterical)
As she spoke, the emotionally unstable female secretary suddenly became hysterical.
In the end, she even cried until her face was disfigured, tears streaming down her face, collapsing to the ground and seemingly talking to herself.
"My parents have been kidnapped by them! If I don't complete their tasks, they will kill my parents!"
"I'm sorry, President Mu, I had no choice! I really had no choice!"
"Please, just get in the car! Once we get in, they will release my parents; nothing will happen..."
Mu Wanrou opened her mouth, about to speak.
But a mysterious and deadly feeling made her heart race with alarm!
There is danger!
"Miss, be careful!"
The bodyguards following Mu Wanrou were certainly not ordinary people.
They were all skilled experts with cultivation, and they clearly sensed that something was wrong!
Without thinking, they instinctively shielded Mu Wanrou.
In the next second, the car that had been parked peacefully suddenly exploded violently!
Flames instantly engulfed the female secretary standing by the car door!
Even Mu Wanrou and the others, who were a distance away from the car, were affected!
"Ahhhhh!!!!"
"The car exploded, call the police!"
"Run! I don't want to die here!"
…..
The onlookers around, unaware of the situation, panicked and scattered.
Those with a bit more courage only dared to take a distant glance before quickly dialing the police.
On the other side, after the explosion, the luxurious car instantly turned into a pile of burning scrap metal.
Mu Wanrou was naturally unharmed.
But at this moment, her expression had become quite serious.
Thanks to the protection of her bodyguards and the life-saving items she had on her, the explosion did not cause her much harm.
However, her safety did not mean that others were safe.
Especially the female secretary, whose life was now uncertain after being close to the explosion.
Some of the bodyguards beside Mu Wanrou were also injured.
Most of them had collapsed on the ground, with several fainted!
"Miss, this place is not safe; we should leave quickly!"
The lightly injured female bodyguard captain suggested.
Mu Wanrou nodded.
To be honest, over the years, she had been thriving and had indeed encountered many attacks, both overt and covert.
There had been many of varying severity, but overall, they weren't too serious.
But this time, the enemy's power was so great that they could even buy off people around her.
This indirectly indicated that the opponent's influence was not simple!
She had sensed something was off with her secretary earlier and had kept a degree of vigilance.
She initially thought it might be a kidnapping or something, but she never expected the enemy to be so ruthless.
From the recent explosion of the car, it was clear they wanted to kill her directly!
.....
Rain.
It was still drizzling.
Countless raindrops splashed into sparkling droplets on the ground.
"Miss, we have sent out a rescue signal! We should be safe soon!"
The female bodyguard captain put away her satellite phone.
At this moment, after disguising themselves, Mu Wanrou and her group were navigating through the alleys in the rain.
"Safe? Heh, Miss Mu, I think your hopes are about to be dashed!"
Suddenly, enemies in raincoats appeared from all directions in the alley.
Leading them was a person in a yellow raincoat.
He wore a red and white Tengu mask on his face, looking quite eerie and mysterious.
At the same time, they no longer concealed their cultivation aura.
"All of them are at the peak of the Transformation Realm!"
The female bodyguard captain couldn't help but exclaim.
What shocked her even more was that the Tengu man at the forefront was even stronger, a master of the Innate Realm!
It's important to note that those with Transformation Realm cultivation are rare top-tier powers in the world.
You might not find many in a large family!
But now, there were more than ten people at the peak of the Transformation Realm standing in front of them, along with one Innate Realm person!
The scale of this assassination was indeed astonishing!
"Miss, you go first! We'll hold them off here!"
The female bodyguard stepped forward.
She looked at the enemies with sharp eyes, showing no signs of fear or retreat.
Her Innate Realm aura was fully displayed, sharp and imposing!
That's right, she was also a master of the Innate Realm!
Otherwise, how could she qualify to be the bodyguard captain beside the young lady of the Mu family!
At the same time, the three female bodyguards following Mu Wanrou also stepped forward.
They only had Transformation Realm cultivation.
But none of them showed the slightest hint of fear!
"There are nearly twenty of us here, each one a master at the peak of the Transformation Realm!"
"You count as five people only because you are the young lady of the Mu family, an ordinary person."
"What do you have to block us? You can't stop us!"
"So, Mu family young lady, you don't need to struggle anymore!"
"Today is your day of death! Please die here obediently!"
"Jie jie jie~~~"
The man in the Tengu mask spread his arms in the rain and laughed wildly.
The murderous figures behind him all stepped forward, surrounding Mu Wanrou and the others.
The alley was filled with mud, puddles, and splashes of water.
The coldness and the sense of impending doom gradually intensified.
Just like the rain that kept pouring down, never stopping!
