Chapter 233: Chapter 188: Time of Assassination, Unfilial Son

Wang Shang.

For the past few days, he had been living in constant fear.

After all, being targeted by a Spiritual Ability User would make anyone uneasy.

’So my head is worth a lot of money.’

’To think someone’s willing to put an eight-hundred-million bounty on my head.’

’Hmph.’

’If I ever find out who posted this bounty, or else...’

His eyes suddenly turned grim.

For the past few days, Wang Shang had kept a low profile, refusing to go out unless it was absolutely necessary.

He would either hold video conferences or summon people to his home for meetings and to give instructions.

In short, he did everything he could to avoid leaving his home.

"The government is also searching for the person behind this,"

Wang Quanzhi, who was standing to the side, said, "Once we find them, there’s no need for you to act, Uncle. The state will bring them to justice."

At a critical time like this, Wang Shang was extremely important to the nation—and especially to Zhao Guohui. Nothing could be allowed to happen to him!

Anyone who tried to harm Wang Shang would be making an enemy of Zhao Guohui and the nation itself!

They would inevitably be punished!

"Yes."

"This time, I have to leave the house. The other party is one of the company’s biggest clients, and we need to sign a major contract. So... I’m counting on you all."

Wang Shang nodded to Wang Quanzhi and Qian Yihao, who was standing beside him, and said apologetically.

"It’s no trouble."

Qian Yihao waved his hand dismissively. "As long as I’m here, you’ll be safe."

Zhao Guohui was deeply concerned for Wang Shang’s safety. Not only had he assigned Wang Quanzhi to guard him, but this time, he had even sent Qian Yihao!

After all, Qian Yihao had participated in multiple Mist Events.

His physical abilities had been drastically enhanced.

More importantly, he came from a powerful family that had pulled every string to get him a ’resource’, allowing him to smoothly break through to the First Grade Spiritual Ability Realm.

Combined with his extensive combat experience, his mastery of military close-quarters combat, and his expert proficiency with firearms, his current combat prowess was...

Absolutely terrifying.

It was also worth mentioning that the reason Qian Yihao had obtained that ’resource’ was partly related to Xia Yu.

The Qian Family was immensely powerful and had many descendants. There was no shortage of young talents with even greater natural physical aptitude than Qian Yihao, but...

Qian Yihao was Zhao Guohui’s right-hand man. Moreover, Zhao Guohui could obtain specific information about the next Mist Event from a ’mysterious person’. This guaranteed that Qian Yihao could not only participate in every Mist Event but also do so without any real danger.

In other words, Qian Yihao was able to ’develop his strength without any life-threatening risks’!

A genius who fails to develop is completely useless.

Only a fully developed genius could bring bountiful returns to the family!

This was a major reason why the Qian Family invested its resources so heavily in Qian Yihao.

Furthermore,

there was another reason: Qian Yihao could secure more slots for the Qian Family to participate in the Mist Events. In that regard, the family had to rely on him!

"Then I’ll leave it in your hands."

Seeing Qian Yihao’s confidence, Wang Shang felt greatly reassured.

’He can lift hundreds of pounds with one hand and jump over three meters from a standstill, landing right on a basketball rim...’ A flash of envy appeared in Wang Quanzhi’s eyes.

’That’s already beyond the limits of a normal human.’

’It’s inhuman!’

’If I could just get a ’resource’ and break through to the First Grade Spiritual Ability Realm, couldn’t I make a greater contribution to the nation?’

’Couldn’t I become someone everyone looks up to?’

’Couldn’t I finally catch up to Xia Yu?’

"Let’s go."

The group went downstairs.

"Captain, the car and driver have been checked. No issues."

"Good. Move out!"

VRRROOOM.

...

The convoy departed.

To ensure the safety of Wang Shang’s family, the security detail at his home was not withdrawn. Even Wang Quanzhi was left behind.

The team protecting Wang Shang this time was a special operations unit personally led by Qian Yihao. It consisted of over twenty people, all of them warriors who had participated in the Mist Events. The group was split among six vehicles, with Wang Shang’s car protected in the center.

While Wang Shang’s car hadn’t been replaced with a military vehicle, he was wealthy enough that his own car was custom-built, fully loaded with top-of-the-line bulletproofing and anti-collision features.

Furthermore, Qian Yihao was sitting in the back seat of the same car as Wang Shang.

In addition, two snipers were providing overwatch from a helicopter.

The security was ironclad!

On the way, Qian Yihao appeared relaxed, but his gaze was sharp and his entire body was tense.

Soon, the convoy drove smoothly onto the Huahua River Bridge in Huayang City.

Qian Yihao glanced at the driver, and the man’s file surfaced in his mind: Zhou Quan, 53 years old, had been Wang Shang’s driver for thirty years.
