table stood up together. Under everyone’s admiring gazes, they walked to the elder general in front.No one believed that today’s birthday banquet would turn out this way, including Su Beijiang and Su...Chapter 333: Heading to the Han Family Again

In the Jinhu Park during the morning, it was full of people exercising; some were jogging, others practicing martial arts or swordsmanship. No one would have suspected that there could be a hidden assassin among them!

Upon realizing someone suddenly attacked, Hou Xiaolong instinctively leaned back. Over the years of directing wuxia films, he had learned numerous self-defense skills from those action choreographers. As he moved aside, Hou Xiaolong managed to create twenty centimeters of safety space for himself!

At this moment, the long-time junior assistant who accompanied Hou Xiaolong bravely extended his arm to block between the long sword and Hou Xiaolong's throat!

The junior assistant might have had some mental issues, but he was absolutely loyal to Hou Xiaolong after accompanying him for so many years.

"Ah!" Accompanied by a cry of pain, blood spurted from the wound on the junior assistant’s arm!

At this time, the person holding the sword still relentlessly pursued, swinging his sword at Hou Xiaolong's chest after missing his first strike!

Hou Xiaolong reacted quickly. Before the sword even touched him, he had already thrown his thermos bottle towards the assassin’s face!

At such a close distance, that assassin could not dodge it!

The thermos bottle from Hou Xiaolong collided intimately with the nose of the assassin, followed by a blood blossoming like a flower on the assassin's face!

Although the junior assistant’s arm was cut by one sword strike, he did not lose his basic mobility. Seizing this opportunity, he clenched his right fist in pain and used all his strength to deliver a heavy punch to the assassin's cervical vertebrae from behind!

Unfortunately, the junior assistant wasn't professionally trained in martial arts. He knew that hitting someone’s cervical vertebra with enough force could render them unconscious, but he did not have such power. Even though he hit hard, it only made the assassin see stars momentarily before returning to normal.

The sword-wielding assassin didn’t expect that despite his years of diligent sword practice, he would fail to land a single blow on these two martial arts novices! He was even struck by a punch from what appeared to be an effeminate weakling!

Without turning back, the assassin kicked backward with force, heavily stepping on the junior assistant's abdomen. The pain made him groan and feel like his intestines were twisting together as he collapsed onto the ground without strength to stand up again.

This assassin didn't need to turn around to know that his attack had been effective. At this time, Hou Xiaolong was already several meters away. The killer wiped the blood flowing from his nose and took two steps forward, raising his long sword to stab at Hou Xiaolong!

At this moment, Hou Xiaolong, who was sprinting ahead with all his might, suddenly noticed that there was a man in front of him, a man holding a dagger.

The man was wearing short sports clothes and had a towel draped around his neck. There were shiny beads of sweat on his forehead; at first glance, he seemed to be someone who frequently exercised here. At this moment, the man's hand held a dagger that gleamed with cold light, and as he looked at Hou Xiaolong running towards him, a trace of冷笑 appeared in his eyes.

If Hou Xiaolong continued to run, he would inevitably be blocked by the dagger-wielding man. At this time, there was also a sword-wielding killer chasing from behind relentlessly, making him face enemies both front and rear! The situation was extremely dangerous!

Just when Hou Xiaolong hesitated for an instant, the longsword behind him had already been swung out. Hearing that sound of air being sliced through, Hou Xiaolong's body tensed up!

However, the imagined scene of a sword piercing his body did not occur; just as Hou Xiaolong thought he was cornered with no way out, the sword-wielding killer behind him had been kicked out five to six meters away!

Wang Zheng knew how powerful this kick was. Even if the other party had martial arts training, they would at least break several ribs from receiving such a blow.

The dagger man in front saw Wang Zheng suddenly charge out of nowhere and was taken aback for a moment. Afterward, he retracted his mocking smile and took a large step forward, swinging the sharp dagger straight towards Hou Xiaolong's throat!

His speed was quick, but Wang Zheng was even faster; with virtually no movement from his feet, he raised his right hand and shot out an almost imperceptible thin silver light from his hand. It crossed a distance of three meters and directly pierced the dagger man’s neck!

Don't forget that Big Assassin Wang also had a skill in throwing needles; although this move wasn’t much use against formidable enemies, it was still very effective when dealing with low-tier lackeys.

The dagger man only felt his neck being pricked by the needle before an uncontrollable numbness surged through him. His mind instantly lost consciousness and even basic motor functions were compromised.

Like a mechanical dancer, the dagger man slowly lowered his swinging arm and collapsed onto the ground, limp as a rag doll.

The assassination scene had now drawn attention from those present; early exercisers quickly moved away to avoid being caught up in the sword and dagger melee, while others began taking out their phones to call for help.

Wang Zheng nodded at Hou Xiaolong as he threw a grateful look his way. Hou Xiaolong then started making a phone call; as an internationally renowned celebrity, Hou Xiaolong had encountered several assassination attempts before and thus had some experience in dealing with such situations. However, he never expected that someone dared to openly assault him even in the relatively well-policed capital of China!

Seeing the bleeding arm of his assistant, a hint of anger flashed across Hou Xiaolong's eyes.

"Do you know who attacked you" Wang Zheng asked when he saw that Hou Xiaolong had hung up the phone.

"I have an idea." A hint of gloominess appeared in Hou Xiaolong's eyes, even though he was wearing sunglasses. Wang Zheng could still clearly sense this gloominess; indeed, no one would feel good about being assassinated in public.

"Do you want revenge" Wang Zheng narrowed his eyes and continued to ask.

Hou Xiaolong nodded decisively: "Yes."

"Would you like my help then"

Hou Xiaolong lifted his head, looked deeply into Wang Zheng's eyes, and said: "Not for now."

"Alright, I believe you can handle this situation. But if it gets too complicated, give me a call; Liuxuan has my number." Wang Zheng narrowed his eyes and said.

Hou Xiaolong nodded, determination shining in his eyes: "Okay."

"Of course, even if I’m not in the country at that time, someone else will help you," Wang Zheng added.

"Thanks." Hou Xiaolong said, then helped his assistant into a car and left without waiting for the police to arrive.

Watching the GMC armored vehicle leave, Wang Zheng sighed: "It seems the entertainment industry isn't as easy to navigate."

"Indeed, it's not an easy place," Liuxuan also felt deeply. When she first heard about Li Yiran's experience of being coerced into a relationship, she couldn’t help but sigh in sympathy. The entertainment circle is a big dye vat; it’s really hard to emerge from it without being tainted. It was already admirable for Li Yiran to have achieved what she has.

Like in Hong Kong, many successful artists also have some underworld background, which is an inevitable part of the industry. Therefore, Wang Zheng believed that Hou Xiaolong's underworld connections should be quite substantial; this could be inferred from the two people who attempted to assassinate him.

After dropping off Liu Xuan, Wang Zheng drove toward the villa on Tianping Mountain. Today Han Xinye was going home, but this little girl insisted that Grandpa Han invited her to dinner. Faced with this request, Wang Zheng could only reluctantly agree. Although it seemed clear that Grandpa Han stood by him, these seasoned old fellows who had built their own empires were all cunning and shrewd; none of them were easy to deal with. Even someone shameless like Wang Zheng worried about not doing well in front of them. He certainly didn't want to be looked down upon by these old guys.

However, since "Little Dragon" was still at Han Family's ancestral home (Note: This is purely coincidental; it wasn't intended for Little Dragon and Director Hou to have the same name, hahaha), Wang Zheng wanted to visit this former comrade of his. He knew that this once close companion wouldn’t last much longer, so he thought it was a good opportunity to pay him a visit.

When Wang Zheng arrived at Tianping Mountain villa, Han Xinye hadn't even gotten out of bed yet; who knew how late these three women had stayed up the previous night

Wang Zheng sat on the sofa for over half an hour before he saw a Hello Kitty dress-clad Han Xinye rubbing her eyes as she walked out.

"Let's go." Seeing Wang Zheng, Han Xinye chuckled; though still groggy-eyed, she suddenly looked much more energetic. She came over and took his arm without hesitation, leaning so heavily on him that he could feel the surprising elasticity of her softness.

Suddenly, Wang Zheng had a bad feeling. He remembered the last time he went home with Han Xinye; this little girl had pulled him along to act as her boyfriend and ended up offending Su Beijiang and Su Tianming. Presumably, Han Xinye's mother Zhang Yanqing still wouldn't give him a kind face.

"Comrade Han Xinye, I'll be frank: did you lie about Grandpa Han's order this time" Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of ropes; Wang Zheng really worried that this little girl would pull one over on him.

"No, how could I Have I ever lied to you" Han Xinye blinked her big eyes innocently. This look was sure to charm countless housebound men.

"Forget it, I think I need more time to consider things. Please tell Grandpa Han and Mr. Taochu that I'm sorry."

Just as Wang Zheng finished speaking, he wanted to pull his arm out of Han Xinye's grasp. However, despite his strength, she held on so tightly that her chest deformed under the pressure; as Wang Zheng tried to free himself, he could feel an unusual sensation.

"What if I show you something Then will you go with me" Han Xinye said in a teasing tone.

“Show where”

The moment Wang Zheng spoke, he saw Han Xinye suddenly pull her dress's neckline!as Wang Zheng entered through the factory gate, Shang Chen finally arrived on the ground."Shang Chen!" Seeing his weak wife, He Yan hurried forward."Sister-in-law!" Li Xiaoxiao took out his gun and fi...
