My Wife is a Beautiful CEO - Chapter 151

Chapter 151-1: Waiter

All guest rooms in Twilight Villa used traditional metal locks and keys; they looked extremely old-fashioned without those modern magnetic locks. The main reason was the resort’s simple and classic style. Furthermore, on a hilltop resort like this which was well-guarded, they had never encountered the trouble of theft.

Currently, in the guest rooms area, along the long corridor, a handsome man who wore the Twilight Villa’s waiter’s uniform pushed a cart. There were all kinds of cleaning tools on the cart, he pushed it slowly, stopped in front of a door, looked left and right, then stopped.

He knocked on the door closest to him and received no response, but the waiter still knocked another two times to double check. Seeing that there was still no response from the inside, the waiter simply stuck his ear against the door to check if there was any activity inside the room.

After about half a minute, the waiter was convinced that the guest inside was sleeping soundly.

A slim yet flexible lockpick appeared in the man’s hands like magic, the man began to shape it in the lock with a grim expression, he also took note of the rubbing and colliding sounds from the lock. Only an expert could differentiate the meanings behind those subtle sounds.

After about half a minute, the sound of the door being unlocked was heard. With a crisp sound, the door which was locked from the inside had been opened!

The waiter calmly placed the metal rod back into his pant’s pocket, and was about to enter the room when someone had suddenly tapped on his shoulder from behind!

Danger?

The waiter instinctively turned around while shifting to the side as he nervously looked at the person who tapped on his shoulder.

This was an average looking man who had a smile on his face and wore the Twilight Villa’s guest pajamas. This person was precisely Yang Chen who quietly walked out after hearing unusual sounds.

The waiter immediately revealed an awkward and respectful expression. He remorsefully bowed and said, “My apologies, sir. I had such a big reaction because you gave me a fright.”

“I frightened you?” Yang Chen rubbed his chin, then said with a weird smile, “Your metal lockpick is the one that frightened me. This skill isn’t something that can be mastered in a year or two.”

The waiter revealed a confused expression, “Sir, I have no idea what you’re saying.”

“It’s alright if you don’t understand, if you hand over the lockpick in your pockets for me to play, then everything will be fine.” Said Yang Chen.

A chilly glow flashed past the waiter’s eyes, he wore a smile and said, “Alright then.”

The waiter stuck a hand into his pocket, with his head lowered, he gradually pulled out something from it.

“Go to hell!!”

Suddenly, a sharp and gleaming small dagger was pulled out of his pocket, and it charged towards Yang Chen’s throat the moment it was revealed!

Yang Chen was prepared long ago, he calmly struck the waiter’s dagger-gripping hand. His strength directly made the waiter’s hand go numb, and the dagger flew far away before dropping onto the ground.

“What I want is the lockpick, I’m not interested in the dagger.” Said Yang Chen as he watched the waiter who retreated while holding onto his hurt arm, and gave him a dull smile.

The waiter’s originally handsome face suddenly turned malevolent and fierce. He suddenly pulled out a Type 54 handgun from the cleaning tools, and pointed it towards Yang Chen to shoot!

*Bang!*

Before the trigger was even pulled, the handrail of the cart in front of the waiter suddenly struck his chest!

In the next second, the waiter felt an acute pain in his chest. He couldn’t grip onto the pistol properly, and it fell onto the ground. His body also curled up and rolled on the floor.

Yang Chen withdrew the leg he used to kick the cart with, clicked his tongue and said, “You pulling out a gun to shoot me still isn’t as fast as me directly using the cart as an artillery shell.”

With that said, Yang Chen kicked the pistol away, then squatted to grab the waiter’s hand to take a look.

After a short glance, Yang Chen frowned.

Chapter 151-2: Waiter

Based on his ample experience, Yang Chen was able to determine with absolute certainty that this waiter was someone who used a gun all year round. But it goes without saying that someone who disguised as a waiter here definitely wasn’t a policeman, while a thief can’t possibly have experience with guns all year round. There was only one explanation left, he was a hit man.

“Who sent you to kill Mo Qianni?” Yang Chen asked with a strict expression.

Receiving a heavy hit, the waiter felt pain all over his body. Hearing Yang Chen question, he refused to yield, so he sneered and shut his mouth.

Yang Chen was lazy to ask again, so he directly slapped this pitiful hitman’s face, knocking him out.

At this time, there was activity from inside the room, the soundly sleeping Mo Qianni had finally woken up and walked to the door. Looking at this scene, she cried out in alarm, “Yang Chen, what happened here?”

Yang Chen shrugged, “I think it’s better if you first make a call to Twilight Villa’s front desk.”

Although Mo Qianni was shocked as to what happened, but she was a cool-headed successful career woman, so she immediately ran back into her room and called the Twilight Villa’s administration.

Very soon, the resort’s administration, security and even Li Muhua who hadn’t slept yet rushed to the scene. After all, Yang Chen and Mo Qianni were esteemed guests of their Muyun Corporation here for business, and mustn’t be ill-treated.

When everybody came, they were shocked when they saw the waiter and that Type 54 handgun on the ground!

“Mr. Yang, just what happened here?” Li Muhua anxiously asked.

Yang Chen yawned, then narrated how he coincidentally witnessed this waiter using a lockpick to pick the lock, intending to enter Mo Qianni’s room. The waiter then pulled out a gun to kill him. He just said that he was lucky that he managed to kick the cart while the waiter wasn’t paying attention, which let him protect his own life. Although there were some parts that didn’t make sense, as a victim he had said enough.

Li Muhua’s face immediately turned green then white, he pointed at several administrative and security people, “What the hell have you people been doing? Why is a waiter carrying a gun to work?”

“Boss, we have no idea either, we’ve never seen this waiter before, his face is very unfamiliar.” Said the front desk manager while trembling.

“Unfamiliar face?” Li Muhua was no moron, he looked towards Yang Chen and said, “Mr. Yang, it seems like this person indeed isn’t a part of our resort, he should be an outsider who sneaked in to murder Miss Mo!”

Yang Chen shook his head, “His aim wasn’t just Miss Mo. Miss Mo and I were sent here for business talks by Yu Lei. Today’s the first day we came, and there’s already an assassination attempt. Furthermore, he directly took out a gun to shoot me earlier, I believe that the one he wanted to kill wasn’t Miss Mo, it was the negotiators from Yu Lei. If this assassination attempt succeeded, I believe his next target would be Changlin’s Boss Lin.”

Everybody present now had a rough understanding of the situation, this was a secret assassination attempt because of the business world!

Li Muhua’s expression turned increasingly serious. He ordered security to increase protection in this area, and also ordered all personnel on duty be checked, strictly prohibiting anybody from entering or leaving.

After the fearful administrators left, Li Muhua solemnly apologized to Yang Chen and Mo Qianni, “I’m sorry to you both, it was unexpected for such a thing to happen the first day you came to Hong Kong. This is Muhua’s oversight. Luckily, Mr. Yang was quick and skillful. Otherwise, if either of you were hurt, I would be overwhelmed with guilt for the rest of my life.”

Mo Qianni didn’t expect that the situation had become so dangerous. The risks involved in this business trip made her, a successful career woman feel a chill run down her back. She looked towards the calm and composed Yang Chen beside her and thought about how she might truly be dead if it weren’t for this rogue, hoodlum, and beast.

“Hey Second Young Master Li, the enemy’s aim is to stop us from conducting business together, I think that both you and I are very clear that this time’s collaboration of research, manufacturing, and selling will lead to our three businesses making rapid advancements. It can be considered at the level of making us invincible in this industry. With your intelligence, Second Young Master Li, determining the mastermind shouldn’t be difficult, right?” Yang Chen blinked towards Li Muhua while speaking with a smile.

Li Muhua bitterly smiled, “Sure enough, I can’t hide that from you, Mr. Yang. The perpetrator I thought of is actually someone both you and Miss Mo should know, and the two of you should also know this person better than me.”
