Chapter 780 - Cruel Men  

While the hall was chaotic and blood splattered due to endless fights, the situation on Jang Shin's side was not any better.

Ten minutes earlier before the attack in the venue hall, Jang Shin who hurriedly left the hall arrived at the company.

He looked at himself in the rearview mirror and nervously arranged his hair. After making sure his appearance was more handsome than usual, he took a deep breath.

"Xinyang, I...I came here because I wanted to tell you something. In truth, I also like you. I don't know when it started perhaps since we were young. I just get the courage to tell you now....Can you like me back again?" The man in the mirror paused. He shook his head repeatedly, "No, that's not like me. Just be casual." The man spoke to himself.

He adjusted his breath and solemnly spoke to the air, "These past months, I have been thinking about it. I know you like me and I have been nonchalant about it. It feels good to be liked by someone. But when it comes to you, it makes me scared-" He paused again. "No, no, no. I will get punched if I say that."

Jang Shin bit his lips.

"Agh! I don't know what to say."

Now that he was here, he don't have any idea what he was going to say. He was been impulsive. He came here without any preparation.

The man dropped his head. He was about to ruffle his hair out of habit but his hand stopped. He could not ruin his hair and damage his good looks.

He looked up again and smiled. Due to his anxiousness and the loud thumping of his heart, his smile was a bit crooked.

Seeing how unnatural his expression was, Jang Shin made a crying face. "Agh...I should have learned these things from Linfeng. How did he seduce that cold Heiress again?"

As Jang Shin was brainstorming with himself in the car, two black vans parked just a few meters away from him.

Jang Shin just glanced at them without interest. However, when dozens of people with strange masks get off, Jang Shin's heart skipped a beat.

He haven't had a chance to get a second look at them when the lights from the whole building died down.

Jang Shin's heart skipped a beat. A bad premonition entered his heart. He was familiar with this kind of situation.

Black van. A strange group of men with gas masks. And Power outage.

It was no doubt an invasion of another party.

He immediately called the security team in the building, however, no one answered even after two rings.

The foreboding feeling on his heart got stronger. He took advantage of the dark and swiftly get out of his car while watching the men fixedly. He hid and controlled his breathing. He swiped on his phone and called Tang Xinyang.

After just one ring, the call was answered, "Jang Shin?"

There was a pleasant surprise in Tang Xinyang's voice. This was Jang Shin's first call after four months. She, of course, would be happy that Jang Shin took the initiative to call her.

However, the man was too preoccupied right now that he did not detect Tang Xinyang's subtle happiness.

"Xinyang! Thank god, you are okay. Listen to me. Leave the building right now. Use the emergency route-" But when Jang Shin saw that masked men divided themselves and one group went to the emergency route, he changed his words, "No! Don't use that. The intruders are coming in that way-"

"Intruders?"

"Yes. They are wearing gas masks. Put something that will cover your mouth and nose. Get out of your office discreetly. Once the electricity is back, use the elevator until the fifth floor then hide in the staff room. I'll come to you then."

Tang Xinyang was confused at first. But hearing Jang Shin's solemn tone and his instructions, her expression also turned solemn.

She felt strange when the power shut down suddenly. Coupled with Jang Shin's words, she believed there was really an attack on the company. After asking how many men were in the opposing party, her face turned ugly. With that number, Jang Shin and her could not take them alone. They could only rely on the security team. But since no one reported the attack, they could only expect the worst.

Tang Xinyang agreed with Jang Shin.

"Xinyang, bring your phone with you and put it in silent. I'll come to you. Just wait for me."

"Don't worry about me. Just don't run to them recklessly and fight with them. We don't know yet how strong they are."

"I won't. My priority is you. You have to be safe."

"You too, Jang Shin."

Jang Shin hesitated for a moment, then he added, "Once it's over. I have something to confess."

Tang Xinyang doesn't have any idea what he wanted to confess. She just wanted to get out of this place and meet him.

Jang Shin then ended the call. He called some men from the Jang family and Tang family to bring some men and drive quickly to the Tang headquarters. He felt doubtful when he called Mistress Tang and only got a busy line. He only sent a message to the Head Mistress to let her know the situation at hand.

After making sure that the reinforcement would arrive, he took his handkerchief and covered his face. His brown eyes that were only exposed flash with anxiousness and worries.

...

However, Jang Shin had underestimated the enemy.

When he arrived at the lobby, he found the wide area filled with smoke. The security team that he thought would at least show signs of struggles were all on the ground. There was no sign of fighting.

With how clean the lobby was, Jang Shin deliberated that someone from the inside took the men in the lobby first before letting the group outside come in. When he have that thought, Jang Shin's heart jumped.. If he was right, then this plan must have been done so thoroughly from a long time ago.
