"Who else could it be?"
Xie Qingyan's gaze was murderous, clearly unable to tolerate such blatant provocation.
To be fair, "Black Rabbit's" reputation in Night Sin City was quite significant. After all, he had wreaked havoc on nearly half the companies in Night Sin City.
Yet, to this day, people hadn't managed to gather any information about him.
Xie Qingyan never imagined that this guy would dare to mess with the six major conglomerates!
However, if she knew that "Serpent Coil" had experienced something similar, she probably wouldn't think that way.
It was just that Xu Shi had already erased most of the traces of Gu Yi's involvement in that incident early on. Even within "Serpent Coil," many people didn't know much about her identity. They only knew that after Xu Anbang, a young girl was parachuted in as manager for the conglomerate.
But now wasn't the time to dwell on this.
"Chairwoman Xie, what do we do now..."
Ye Shanshan asked anxiously.
"Do I need to teach you how to do your job? Don't force me to scold you."
Xie Qingyan waved her jade-like hand, her skirt trailing behind her. "Immediately, right now, mobilize personnel from the surrounding hospitals to stabilize the situation first."
"Also, what about the Security Department? Isn't 'Deep Sea' supposed to be the professional team ranked seventh on the hacker list? How could something like this happen right under their noses?"
"Uh, well... Chairwoman Xie, this 'Black Rabbit' seems to be ranked fourth..."
Ye Shanshan reminded her softly.
"I'm funding them, so they should be responsible for this kind of thing, not arguing about rankings with me."
Xie Qingyan said coldly, "Tell them that if the problem isn't solved within half a day, I don't mind letting them experience how advanced 'Prism's' medical standards are."
"And regarding the media... you handle it."
"...Yes."
Ye Shanshan knew the Chairwoman was furious and didn't dare to linger. She responded and quickly slipped away.
After closing the computer screen, Xie Qingyan sat in her boss's chair, crossed her legs, and frowned slightly.
She had been in a good mood recently. Upon noticing He Yuqiang's falling out with "Spark," she had fanned the flames, helping her partner, the eldest son of the He family, strike a blow against his competitor.
As a result, she had acquired several of the competitor's projects at a very low price... Xie Qingyan understood the principle of not putting all your eggs in one basket. Since taking over the company, she had been operating between "Serpent Coil" and "Shark Tooth."
She wasn't particularly concerned about her engagement to Xu Shi. While the two conglomerates had a good relationship, it also depended on strength. Based on Xu Shi's previous performance, it was debatable whether "Serpent Coil" would even remain in his hands in a few more years.
And she had no interest in cooperating with old foxes like Lin Wenhua, so she had distanced herself from "Serpent Coil" over the years.
In her opinion, betting on "Shark Tooth," which was about to undergo a major overhaul, was naturally a wiser choice.
But who knew that after only a few days of happiness, something like this would happen... A large-scale medical incident would be difficult to suppress, let alone a highly publicized unmanned hospital project.
If handled poorly, a lot of her efforts over the years would be ruined.
"Black Rabbit..."
Xie Qingyan murmured the name, feeling a sense of admiration for the other party's ability.
However, she had no intention of recruiting them. She just wanted to catch them and skin them alive.
Fortunately, "Prism" had reacted quickly enough to prevent the situation from escalating further. This was already a blessing in disguise.
She could only hope that no more unexpected problems would arise at this critical juncture... It was unlikely.
However, despite saying that, Xie Qingyan still felt a vague sense of unease.
District 15.
While Xie Qingyan was entangled with the emergency at the unmanned hospital, He Yuzhao, the eldest young master of "Shark Tooth," was participating in a press conference.
Today marked the grand opening of a new research institute for "Shark Tooth." After receiving some technical support from "Prism," the eldest son of the He family immediately began research on new weapon chips.
At this moment, he stood confidently under the spotlight, outlining the future development blueprint to the guests.
It was no wonder he was so full of confidence.
It could only be said that Xie Qingyan, his partner, was truly capable. He hadn't expected her to find an opportunity to deal with He Yuqiang.
With this, his position as heir was secured. After all, his second brother had no interest in this field... But the necessary steps still needed to be taken.
He himself was also somewhat distracted. Xie Qingyan's image kept lingering in his mind.
That woman was truly beautiful and elegant, and very captivating... He wondered what luck Xu Shi had in his past life to be engaged to her.
But he didn't care much either. What qualifications did someone who could be manipulated by his third brother have to be his opponent?
Moreover, he could tell that Xie Qingyan was quite indifferent to her fiancé. It was unlikely they would end up together, no, it was highly probable they wouldn't.
In that case, he would naturally have to contend for her – although everyone knew that Xie Qingyan was a rose with thorns, marriage was often the best way to solidify cooperative relationships.
He didn't think he was any worse than her. It was about mutual checks and balances.
It was just a shame that Xie Qingyan was equally indifferent to him, having rejected his invitations several times.
Or rather, she didn't seem to have any intentions in that regard... But He Yuzhao hadn't given up.
No matter what, she couldn't possibly lose to that useless Xu Shi, could she?
With that thought, he didn't even notice the sniper rifle aimed at him from the opposite building.
The cold wind whipped Xia Wuyou's hair as the young woman meticulously searched for her moment.
To be honest, she was actually better at close-quarters combat; her skills with firearms were a bit lacking.
But that didn't mean her technique was bad. As a team leader in the Field Operations Department, she had to master all sorts of combat skills.
Judging by her demeanor, Xia Wuyou was clearly much more focused than before.
It had to be said that Su Lin's words had a very good effect. At least she was now trying to view things from the other person's perspective.
Not caring about right or wrong, not caring about the target, discarding all distracting thoughts, and simply acting according to the command.
"Then, I also very much look forward to the future..."
Just as the press conference reached its peak, the young woman didn't hesitate to pull the trigger.
The bullet whistled through the air, creating a gust of wind as it shattered the glass and hit the target precisely.
"Ah!!!"
By the time He Yuzhao reacted, his face was already covered in blood.
The specially made high-explosive round instantly blew off his right ear, and shrapnel peppered his entire body.
"Assassin! There's an assassin!"
The venue immediately descended into chaos.
But by the time they reacted, the perpetrator, Xia Wuyou, had already vanished without a trace.
She also unexpectedly realized that a smile was uncontrollably spreading across her face.
Doing these things the way Miss Su Lin suggested felt truly wonderful.
It was as if something within her... had awakened.
