Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 148: Chapter 147: Storm Brewing

”Yes, big sister, I will notify the people below.”

Regarding Rose’s arrangements, Han Yan had no objections and immediately nodded in agreement. As Rose’s personal bodyguard, she was well aware of what Rose was going to face next, confronting the violent machinery of the state was tantamount to seeking death.

”By the way, Han Yan, have you found out which power annihilated White Tiger Hall?” Rose suddenly asked, her mind involuntarily conjuring Lu Tianxing’s face with a mischievous smile. Could it be him?

Then, Rose shook her head. Lu Tianxing was strong, but after all, he was one person and it would be difficult for him to annihilate White Tiger Hall.

”We haven’t found out yet. But...

Han Yan hesitated at this point and did not continue.

”But what? Don’t beat around the bush,” Rose said, frowning.

”But this afternoon, Liu Qing copied all the information of the White Tiger Hall’s members and took it away. As far as I know, he handed this information to the son-in-law. I asked Liu Qing about it, and indeed, he gave the information to the son-in-law, who intends to annihilate White Tiger Hall to vent your anger, big sister. If I’m not wrong, it was the son-in-law who annihilated White Tiger Hall.”

”You are not deceiving me?”

Rose’s face suddenly changed greatly. She knew Lu Tianxing was strong, but she had never imagined that Lu Tianxing would take on White Tiger Hall alone just to vent her anger.

”How is Lu Tianxing now, has he been injured, where is he now? Arrange a car for me immediately, I need to see him right now.”

Rose’s voice was urgent, her eyes revealing her nervousness. The previously imposing and seductive face was now replaced by tension and fear. She would rather be hurt herself than see Lu Tianxing take risks for her.

At this moment, Rose had none of the demeanor of an underworld giant, completely a naive woman in love, considering everything for her man.

”Big sister, don’t worry, the son-in-law is fine. The news I got is, the son-in-law had already driven back to Ziyuan District fifteen minutes ago, and, the reason he didn’t tell you this is probably to keep you from worrying,” Han Yan said.

”Phew...”

Hearing Han Yan say this, Rose breathed a long sigh of relief, her beautiful eyes carrying a very complex expression. She waved her hand and said, ”I understand, Han Yan, you go down first to arrange the matters for Rose Society. I want to be alone for a while.”

”Yes!”

Han Yan nodded, bowed, and left the villa.

Once Han Yan had left, Rose turned her head to look at the bright moon in the sky, her lips curling into a sweet smile. She murmured softly to herself, ”You troublemaker, you only know how to seek adventure all day long. If something were to happen to you, what would I do with the rest of my life? I never expected that I, Rose, would fall into your sweet trap. But even knowing it’s a trap, I can’t bear to escape it. Love is like a cup of bitter wine, yet also a cup of fine wine, drawing one to anticipate its flavors uncontrollably.”

As Rose murmured, a sweet smile played across her eyes. She realized that Lu Tianxing had thoroughly rooted himself in her heart, indelible for a lifetime. Yet, she liked this feeling. Only then did she feel like a true woman — cared for and protected, rather than one of the three great underworld tycoons of Modu, whose presence only commanded fear and awe.

Not only had the Rose Society started to shrink defensively, but the Sword Alliance was also consolidating its forces, wary of making brash appearances. The piece of cake that was the Sky Alliance, though highly tempting and making one eager to devour it, would confront one with a colossus, a brutal machine capable of crushing one to dust in an instant. It wasn’t worth putting everything at risk for a fleeting gain.

Both the Rose Society and the Sword Alliance were biding their time, and even other miscellaneous groups and petty thieves seemed to sense the abnormal atmosphere in Modu, disappearing without a trace. It felt as if overnight, Modu had been thoroughly cleansed of everything, unprecedented peace prevailing.

The disappearance of White Tiger Hall might not have affected ordinary people much, but for all the forces in Modu, it was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, catching them off guard.

A sense of an impending storm hung over Modu, oppressive, terrifying, and stifling, making it hard for everyone to breathe. It felt like an invisible guillotine hung above their heads, unsure of when it might fall and claim their lives.

The annihilation of White Tiger Hall not only sent shivers through the likes of the Sword Alliance but also left the Modu City government speechless upon hearing the news.

White Tiger Hall, although having illicit roots, had transformed over many years into a major security firm, with Qian Hua as its general manager and other elites of White Tiger Hall occupying middle to high management levels.

But now they were all killed, which was a shocking crime that shook all of Modu. After suppressing the news from the media, the Modu City government hurriedly set up a special investigation team. However, when the team arrived at the scene, they indeed found corpses, each accompanied by a neat stack of documents detailing the criminal records of the deceased.

After thorough investigation, these evidences were found to be neither exaggerated nor fabricated but genuinely existing. In other words, even if these men had been caught alive, their fate would have been no different — death was inevitable, only the process would have differed.

However, the method employed by the assassin this time was too extreme. Even though the police immediately locked down the news and blocked internet communications, people with even slight connections in Modu still heard the rumors, making everyone extremely anxious, feeling as if a storm was about to break over the city.

In less than ten days, Modu City experienced several murders, with assassins and mercenaries infiltrating Modu, brewing secrets unknown to the public, which added to the immense pressure. You never knew when these assassins would strike or what troubles they would create.

At this moment, Modu was like a massive powder keg, requiring just a tiny spark to possibly blow the entire city up, leaving no trace of its inhabitants.
