I took out my phone and sent a message to someone.

"World Serpent Security Company, you can trust us."

Yaqing had just arrived at the airport, smiled slightly when she saw the message on her phone, but then her expression turned cold as she remembered something.

"Little Yaqing, I'm boarding now!"

"Sister Kallen, I'll go back with you." After what happened, Yaqing was really worried about Kallen going back alone. After all, he didn't know if the target was him or Kallen.

Before boarding the plane, Yaqing told Mobius that he suddenly had to return to headquarters.

The flight was long, Kallen slept soundly against Yaqing, while Yaqing himself was on edge the whole time. Even though he had no evidence, his first suspect was still the board of directors.

But would the board really dare to take action against Kallen?

Yaqing pondered, unless they were unaware that Kallen was also in the Far East.

After several hours of flight, the plane was about to land. In the airport's VIP lounge, Kallen and Yaqing saw the people who had come to pick them up.

It was a man.

"I asked Froglay to pick me up, where is she? And who are you?" Yaqing stopped the "obedient" Kallen.

"Director Yaqing, I am the personal host sent by the president to pick you up. My name is Camitia Sokoli." The man's attitude was very respectful.

"Exclusive? President?" Yaqing intimately put his arm around Kallen's shoulder.

Kallen looked at him with a puzzled expression, but did not say anything.

"Then tell me, who is she?"

The man said instinctively, "It's an honor to meet you, Dr. Mobius of the World Serpent..."

"Bang!"

Yaqing kicked the man away with such force that he flew several meters away.

"You keep saying she was sent by the president, who would still think she's Mobius? Is the person behind you stupid (Schicksal vulgar expression)?" Yaqing pulled Kallen away.

"Little Yaqing, what's wrong?" Kallen finally asked.

"They had already set up an ambush at Munich Airport, just waiting for us to walk right into it. But they're really bold to hire someone to kill right under the CEO's nose?"

Yaqing could already foresee the fate of the board of directors.

There's still room to hire someone to kill him.

If Kallen is injured during the process of hiring someone to kill him, then...

Yaqing pulled Kallen along as they ran out of the Munich Airport departure hall and took the elevator to the first floor. Luckily, Kallen wasn't wearing high heels today, but a pair of canvas shoes.

As the elevator doors opened, Yaqing silently pulled Kallen behind her and kicked her hard, knocking the black-clad man waiting at the elevator door to the ground.

"Quick, they're on the first floor, the target is on the first floor!" The man who had been kicked over kept communicating with his teammates via radio.

Yaqing immediately sensed something was wrong. He didn't know how many people the board of directors had bought. If it were just him alone, he wouldn't be worried, but he also had Kallen by his side.

Many men in black came downstairs after hearing the radio call. There were about thirty or forty of them, and they looked at Yaqing menacingly, which frightened Kallen so much that she hid behind him.

"Yaqing Schariac? Right?" The leader stared at Yaqing, but when he looked at Kallen behind him, he looked puzzled. "Then the one behind you is Mobius."

Yaqing was puzzled. Why did the people chasing him always mistake Kallen for Mobius? Were they really professionals?

For a moment, Yaqing was actually impressed by their "professionalism".

"I say, you guys are really stupid (Schicksal expression)!" Yaqing raised her hand, and suddenly many people appeared upstairs, their guns pointed directly at the thirty or forty men in black.

"Master, the Raven Squad has evacuated everyone from the airport, the rest..."

Froglay walked over to Yaqing and gently helped Kallen up.

Do I need to give you any more orders?

"Yes, Master."

After Froglay helped Kallen leave, Yaqing called Otto amidst the gunshots.

"My old friend, you finally called me back."

Otto's tone was flippant.

"President, did you go too far today? Why didn't you tell me beforehand?" Yaqing was already furious. If Raven hadn't received the news in advance, he probably wouldn't have even had time to mobilize "Raven Sparrow".

Didn't I already remind you?

"President, Kallen was a little surprised..." Yaqing suddenly brought up Kallen.

"Why drag Kallen into this?!"

"What do you mean by dragging me into this? I was planning to send her back today anyway. It's just that the time they hired someone to kill me overlapped with the time I wanted to send Kallen back."

Otto banged on the table. Once it came to Kallen, he wouldn't hesitate to take on not just the board of directors, but the entire Schicksal.

"Yaqing, today is an opportunity, do you understand?"

"I will always remember your teachings."

"May the Saintess's light shine upon the earth once more."

After hanging up the call with Otto, Yaqing really wanted to complain about the code, but she didn't know where to begin. "How awkward!"

Without even having time to adjust to the time difference, Yaqing went directly to the Schariac Family.

Besides the board of directors, there is another faction that might hire someone to kill him: the old oranges in the Schariac Family.

As a family that has been passed Schariac for hundreds of years, the position of the head of the family is extremely important. Apart from the head of the family line, all others are collateral branches.

After returning to the family, Yaqing did not hold a family meeting late at night to take care of the health of the old folks.

After warning the old orange sellers, he continued to shrink their power, remaining unmoved even when they risked their lives.

"You... you... you..."

"Don't hold your breath and let it all slip away," Yaqing said directly.

The old man was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot.

Enraged, Yaqing personally took charge, resulting in the removal of four directors from the board. The consequence was that Schicksal's stock continued to shrink, reaching its lowest price in recent years.

This prompted a large number of investors to sell their shares, but another group of investors continued to buy in.

With Otto's tacit approval, Yaqing squeezed the eighteen directors down to just ten. Of those ten, four were his men, leaving only six deeply entrenched old fogies.

"We lost." The weathered voice sounded even more weathered now.

"Yes, I didn't expect him to be so ruthless, even abandoning the financial chain of Schicksal itself."

"I told you all! Don't mess with him, don't mess with him, he's a mad dog!!!"

"He's not a mad dog. Every step he takes is planned. Even our move to the dark web... it's all part of his scheme."

"You mean he deliberately brought the president's wife in?"

"How old is he? He's a terrifying person."

Yaqing's crazy actions in Central Europe did not affect the release of the third film in the slightest. In fact, the shrinking funds of the Schicksal Group made the third film even more popular than ever before.

The third film has been officially scheduled for release during the summer season.

"Master, a division has arisen within the Schariac. Many young people no longer want to follow the elders; they would rather follow in your footsteps." Froglay placed a proposal on Yaqing's desk.

"You seem to have a pretty good attitude about it." Yaqing picked up the plan and glanced at it a few times before saying, "Send it to Misteln, she'll know what to choose."

"Master, there's one more thing..."

Seeing that Froglay seemed hesitant to speak, Yaqing frowned. "Just say what you have to say."

"My daughter Anna Schariac also wants to be transferred to the Far East."

"Hmm?" Yaqing asked in confusion, "Anna Schariac, I know her, but she still has a lot of room for advancement at headquarters. Those who were transferred to the Far East Branch are basically people who have no room for advancement at headquarters."

"She..." Froglay knew perfectly well why Anna wanted to go to the Far East, so she found it even harder to speak.

Chapter 158 Li Sushang Has No Background

"It sounds like your trip back was quite thrilling."

"Yes, thanks to you, senior."

Yaqing lives in a high-end seven-story villa in the Schariac Family's private villa district. Sitting in the somewhat empty hall, he is having a video call with Mobius.

Mobius was wearing a face mask. Before falling in love, she was a "crazy female doctor" who would even save time for experiments to eat instant noodles.

"World Serpent Security Company is now a subsidiary. It just so happens that it used your investment when we graduated. Be grateful to your past self." Mobius lifted the half-dry face mask, revealing a delicate and supple face, and parted her lips slightly.

"Senior, is it nighttime where you are?" Yaqing, noticing that the other end of the video call was somewhat dark.

"No, morning." Mobius pulled the curtains shut tightly, and the morning sun streamed into the bedroom through the window.

"It's still afternoon here."

Mobius frowned slightly. "If we can't find a topic, we don't have to talk about it. There's no need to force it."

"I want to talk to you."

Yaqing's words shattered Mobius's defenses.

This is also what Su Hui thought: on the surface, it was Mobius who was controlling Yaqing, but in reality, Yaqing was "catching the snake."

"Let's chat then, I'm off today." Mobius propped his head up with his hand, having already moved the gaming chair from Yaqing's room to his own bedroom.

Yaqing was about to speak.

On the other end of the video, Mei, dressed neatly and wearing a white lab coat, stood at the door of Mobius's bedroom, knocked on the door, and asked, "Mobius, weren't we supposed to be rushing to the experiment today? Let's go, Kevin can drive us along."

Yaqing could clearly see that Mobius's smile froze.

The next second, the video call was disconnected.

"Brother!" Cecilia opened the door and rushed to Yaqing's side, anxiously touching him as if trying to find out where he was injured. She had just received the news and rushed over.

"Sister, how could those old bastards possibly outwit me?" Yaqing grabbed Cecilia's hand and pulled her to sit down next to her.

Then, Ziegfried, with a gloomy expression, also came over.

"Alright, Ziegfried, stop making that dead-face face," Yaqing joked.

"I never expected those old guys would actually dare to go so far as to kill us." Ziegfried slammed his fist on the soft sofa. "When they can't win in business battles, they resort to assassins. How despicable."

"That's perfectly normal." Yaqing had no doubt about the humanity of those old orange sellers.

"The board of directors has really gone too far!"

"Alright, sister, let's not talk about those unlucky guys." Yaqing put his arm around Cecilia's shoulder and whispered, "Sister, the third movie of Honkai is about to be released. I'll stay at headquarters and watch the movie with you and Bianka before we go back to the Far East."

Okay~

After comforting Cecilia, Yaqing then asked Ziegfried, "How is Aunt Kallen now?"

Ostensibly, he was inquiring about Kallen's situation, but what Yaqing really wanted to know was Otto's reaction.

"Mrs. Kallen was a little frightened, and President Otto has been staying with her at the hospital for the past few days, so he hasn't even attended the morning meetings." Ziegfried immediately understood the hidden meaning in Yaqing's words.

"The way you say that makes it sound like he usually holds morning meetings." Yaqing breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems... there really isn't one."

Ziegfried thought for a moment; usually, Amber would relay Otto's decisions at the morning meetings.

The atmosphere at headquarters was strange today. Although it looked the same as usual, it gave people an ominous feeling that a storm was brewing. In the corridor leading to the office, two sexy figures were reflected in the glass.

With blonde hair and blue eyes, a white highlight on her forehead, her pretty face was extremely beautiful. She had red lips and white teeth, and her eyebrows seemed to have a touch of aloofness. Her white women's suit shirt was enough to accentuate her ample chest, and her short skirt that reached above her knees, along with sheer black stockings, bound her long and beautiful legs.

"Bianka, don't you think the atmosphere is a little strange? The way they look at you is a little... fearful?"

The woman with brown and black hair standing next to Durandal had a hairstyle that suggested Shenzhou. Two long strands of hair were tied back, and her white short-sleeved shirt was so tight it looked like it was about to burst out, revealing... a fat chicken? Her beautiful legs were covered by blue and white hot pants and canvas shoes.

"Probably not... I don't remember doing anything." Bianka shook her head.

To avoid gossip and to test her abilities, Bianka Kaslana initially joined Schicksal under the alias Durandal, but her deception was exposed within two days.
