CHAPTER 416 MURDER

Jiang Ning was surprised that the attack came from Assassins Group again.

After they failed to kill him, they had actually gone for an ordinary person. This made Jiang Ning furious.

Butler Zhao put the information he had on the table with a grim face.

He could feel Jiang Ning's fury. It was enough to burn all of Donghai down.

"We've found traces of the assassin moving around, and he hid himself very well. If we didn't have people watching this specifically, it would have been hard to find him," said Butler Zhao. "This was especially so because this assassin is not very powerful. He's not much higher in skill than an ordinary person."

"I believe he disguised himself as a client and wanted to discuss something important with the deceased, then used that as a chance to murder him.”

Jiang Ning's expression became even grimmer after hearing this.

That deceased worker was still thinking about nothing but work even though it was so late at night. He was still focused on solving a problem for a client so that he could contribute to Lin Group's expansion.

Little did he know that he would meet with such misfortune.

"The police couldn't find any proof of murder, which means that this killer is fairly professional and excellent at disguising himself, as well as very good at escaping detection. I immediately put the clues together and found that this man is indeed the killer!"

"Is he still in Donghai?"

"No,” Butler Zhao shook his head. "He left that night."

Too many people came in and out of Donghai everyday. The only thing they could do was to watch over anyone who had stronger capabilities than others or those who were of special identities so as to protect Donghai.

But a killer who was not much different from an ordinary person was difficult to prevent.

Or at least they hadn't found a way yet.

"Mr Jiang, I feel that this was aimed at Lin Group, so it should be someone who has a conflict of interest with a recent business dealing."

Jiang Ning nodded. He had guessed as much.

Otherwise there would be no reason why an ordinary worker would have been targeted. This person got someone murdered and purposely created fear and unrest among the Lin Group staff.

"Humph, Lin Group is expanding too quickly and some people are getting scared, so they're wary of what Lin Group can do. That only proves that Lin Group is on the right track!"

Jiang Ning continued in a malicious tone of voice, "Zhao, check all the influential people who may have a conflict of interest with Lin Group recently. I'm going to find the mastermind behind this and make him pay a heavy price!"

"Got it."

Butler Zhao immediately saw to it.

Meanwhile, the memorial service for the deceased staff was happening in the hall.

Lin Yuzhen pinned a white flower onto Jiang Ning's lapel.

"Jiang Ning, I won't be afraid, don't worry about me," said Lin Yuzhen in a quiet voice.

Since someone had targeted Lin Group and even targeted a staff of Lin Group, that meant that Lin Yuzhen herself would be a target of many others.

But she wasn't afraid.

She trusted that Jiang Ning wouldn't let anything happen to her, and he also wouldn't let any misfortune befall any of the Lin Group staff.

"I believe you," Jiang Ning nodded. "Let's go. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Every employee of Lin Group had come.

There wasn't enough space inside, so there were people standing along the corridors and even the staircase.

Everyone had a flower in their hand as they remembered their colleague who met an untimely death.

This was the first time they felt something happen so close to their heart. It was as if the one who passed away wasn't just a colleague but a family member.

Jiang Ning and Lin Yuzhen walked in, presented their flowers and bowed deeply.

The deceased's parents were standing by the side and their faces were filled with great pain and sadness. They seemed to have grown much older overnight.

"Uncle, Auntie, I'm so sorry," Jiang Ning bowed very deeply and apologized. "I didn't protect him. That was my fault."

The mother looked up and her eyes were in a daze. When she saw Jiang Ning, her tears started to fall.

Her throat was hoarse from crying.

That day, her son had come home and told her that he had been promoted and could earn more so that his family could live better lives. He could contribute to Lin Group's expansion and contribute even more to Donghai.

She was even happier than her son.

Lin Group was now the dream company that everyone wanted their children to get a place in.

This wasn't just a job but also a responsibility.

Lin Group had given so much to Donghai and to its people. So everybody wanted their children to work for Lin Group, and every parent was proud of their children who worked there.

But nobody expected something like this

to happen.

"My son...” the mother's lips were trembling. "He worked for Lin Group...was he...was he a decent worker?"

"He was very outstanding," Jiang Ning replied her seriously. "I wanted to groom him into someone who would be even more outstanding so that he could hold his own fort and contribute to Lin Group and Donghai's development."

The mother nodded and said, "Thank you."

Jiang Ning didn't say anymore.

Lin Yuzhen knew that Lin Group was going to become a huge tree, and after going through certain things, this company was going to become even more united and close knit.

She suddenly understood the direction in which she had to work hard in, and she also realized how heavy the responsibility on her shoulders was.

Jiang Ning was now helping her to carry this responsibility. But in the future, she had to share it with him.

If Lin Group was one big family, then Lin Yuzhen was like the parents in this family and she had to be responsible for every worker!

When Jiang Ning walked out of the hall, Butler Zhao and Huang Yuming were already waiting at the door for him.

"Found the mastermind?"

"No, but we found the killer." Huang Yuming said in a sinister voice, "It's really someone from Assassins Group."

Jiang Ning scoffed. It was really Assassins Group. They couldn't kill him, so now they decided to strike an ordinary person.

"Assassins Group has a contact point in the southeast. This assassin got this mission from there," said Butler Zhao. "Gou is now following the killer, so he can make his move anytime."

Was it enough to just kill the assassin as revenge?

It wasn't enough!

It wasn't enough at all!

If they didn't make it hurt for Assassins Group, then the group would never understand that Jiang Ning meant it when he said Donghai was a forbidden territory.

Jiang Ning wanted to make sure that Donghai was so formidable that nobody in the country or in the world would dare to make trouble in this city.

"Tell Gou to capture that assassin," instructed Jiang Ning coldly. “I'm going to smash Assassins Group's contact point to powder!"
