Chapter 213: The final showdown (9)

*Xin Lei*

I felt my heart stopped beating for a moment.

Breach? Attack by people unknown?

Bai Li...Bai Li is here. He is here to save us?!

Zhang Ning seemed to freeze as she heard the news. I sneered.

"What the hell are you saying? How can anybody attack our base?"

The guard who came to report said, "Boss, it's true. Our guards patrolling on the ground are dead, and even the ones on the first floor. There are also reports of gunfire on the second floor. There is no communication from guard 11, who was patrolling the third floor!"

The men began to whisper. "Wait, Guard 11! He is the strongest of all guards here. The tallest and the strongest of all!"

"How can he die too! It's impossible!"

"Nobody had won against him ever! His sheer body frightened everybody!"

"Answer me! Who killed him!" One man shouted.

"S-sir, We deduce that four people have come to attack."

Four people? Maybe Luo Zhiqiang and bro too?

"Out of them, three were engaged in a fight with the guards from the second floor, but they cleared the way to let a lone man move onto the third floor."

"Are you an idiot? Do you mean to say that a single man took down guard 11!?"

I smirked.

It must be Bai Li. My heart knows it. I feel it. It was Bai Li who killed him.

Rodey burst into laughter. "Ahahaha! Oh, so Bai Li is here? That bastard is finally here. Didn't I tell you, Boss? That he would come for you. Didn't I tell you that you cannot fool him with Zhang Xiulan for much time? Hahaha! Boss, your wish got fulfilled. Now you can ask him if he loves you or not. He has come here himself."

Zhang Ning seemed to be riled up. She clenched her fists, and I saw her slightly shaking. She was nervously looking down and then up and then back at us.

Then she suddenly laughed as if she got a crazy fit. "It cannot be Bai Li. It cannot be him. He can never come to hurt me. It's those people from that wretched IB! Yes, you bitch, it's your brother. The IB were always behind our tails. No wonder it's them. My Bai Li can never be a part of them."

Huh? Has she completely lost it now?

She giggled. "Bai Li can never do this because he likes me. That's why he always saved me. Remember? From that bullet in the rally and then from that bastard Yi Xing when he tried to kiss me. And then in Tianjin too when Yi Xing tried to take me away. He has always saved me like a prince because I am his princess. He likes me, so he couldn't bear to see me in danger."

I stared at her unblinkingly. I could only feel dumbfounded at her words.

This woman is completely in denial! She even thinks that Bai Li likes her just because he saved her!

Zhang Ning seemed to blush and giggled again. "You know, Bai Li looked so angry when Yi Xing had tried to kiss me. He looked so possessive for me. He didn't like that another filthy man tried to touch me, so he beat Yi Xing. Because he loves me soooooo much, and you claim that Bai Li likes you? I pity you, Xin Lei. But I understand. Bai Li is such a man. So charismatic and strong. No woman can resist him."

And now, she was completely delusional. She was conveniently molding the situations that fit how she wanted to feel.

Zhang Ning narrowed her eyes. "I will deal with the pesky IB bugs. They must have planted more men around this place. But what's the use? Who can rival my Dad's power?"

Then she looked at the guard. "Call reinforcements from the Zhang residence. And contact Dad too."

The guard lowered his head and said nothing.

"Are you deaf!? Didn't you hear me, you fool!"

"Boss...I-I am unable to contact the Zhang residence. There is no news about Sir Zhang Chao too. W-we know that he left his party office in the evening, but after that, we are not able to get through any communication. Somebody has cut off our communication line."

I squinted my gaze.

Cut off the communication line at the Zhang residence?

Such a feat can only...Qi Qiang.

I smiled. 

My gut feeling said that Zhang Chao was dead. Bai Li cut off her source of strength first to drive her into a corner. And now he was coming for Zhang Ning.

Without Zhang Chao, Zhang Ning had nobody to rely on. She was helpless without his protection.

"Oohhh" Rodey grinned. "That bastard soldier is smart. He dealt with Zhang Chao first."

"Shut up, Rodey! Watch your mouth!"

Then she suddenly slapped the guard hard. "That's impossible! How can you not contact Dad!? Did you even try! Useless!"

She quickly took out her phone and most probably was dialing his number. But she seemed to have got no answer.

She turned even more anxious and irritated by how she had already called him five times, but there was still no answer. She threw her phone on the ground, and it smashed into pieces.

The men took a step back.

She began to chew her finger. "No...Dad always picks up my phone. He-he never misses my call. There is some misunderstandingDad will never do this"

Zhang Ning gritted her teeth and glared at me. "You...you bitch...it's your brother...it's that fucking IB! They did something to my Dad! Dad never ignores my calls! You bastards did something to him! I will never forgive you for that!"

She charged at me at full speed. I ducked to the side and smashed my elbow on her back. She tripped and stumbled on her knees. She looked around at her men and yelled,

"What are you all just standing there like idiots!? Kill them! Kill all of them! I want everybody dead!"
