As Wú Hào and Jiǎn Lín were talking, the study door was suddenly and urgently knocked on. Wú Hào stood up alertly, looking at Jiǎn Lín. Jiǎn Lín signaled the security personnel to open the door, and a security guard walked in with a panicked expression, saying in a low voice, "Ms. Jiǎn, a fluctuation has just been detected in the company's internal network. It appears someone is attempting to delete important data." Wú Hào and Jiǎn Lín exchanged a look, a bad premonition rising in their hearts. Could it be that other traitors had sensed something and were making their move?
"Don't panic yet. Immediately arrange for technical personnel to repair and trace the issue. We must find out the identity and objective of the other party," Jiǎn Lín quickly regained her composure and commanded systematically. The security guard left in haste after receiving the order.
"It seems the enemy can't hold back any longer. The assassination operation might start very soon. We need to accelerate the implementation of our counter-strategy," Wú Hào frowned, his tone revealing anxiety.
Jiǎn Lín nodded, "I will arrange the family's security team right away to strengthen the defenses of the residence and the company, ensuring everything is foolproof. You contact Uncle Long and see how much support the Jianghu forces can provide."
Wú Hào immediately took out his phone and dialed Uncle Long. Uncle Long's steady voice soon came from the other end, "Little Wu, why are you calling me in such a hurry? Is something wrong?"
"Uncle Long, the situation is urgent. We've learned that the Supernatural Ability Organization is planning an assassination operation targeting Jiǎn Lín, and it's happening soon. I'd like to ask you to send some experts to help us with our defense," Wú Hào said very rapidly.
Uncle Long was silent for a moment, then said decisively, "Alright, Little Wu, don't worry. I'll arrange for a group of capable people to be sent over. They should arrive tonight. You hold the situation steady on your end first."
"Okay, Uncle Long, thank you so much!" Wú Hào felt slightly relieved.
Hanging up the phone, Wú Hào said to Jiǎn Lín, "Uncle Long has agreed to help and will send people tonight."
Jiǎn Lín nodded slightly, "I'm going back to the company now to calm the employees' emotions, prevent panic from spreading, and also supervise the security deployment. You stay here and arrange things for Uncle Long's people when they arrive."
"Alright, be careful. If anything happens at the company, contact me immediately," Wú Hào instructed.
After Jiǎn Lín left in a hurry, Wú Hào paced back and forth in the study, contemplating the next steps. He knew well that Uncle Long's people and Jiǎn Lín's family security team alone were not enough; more support had to be secured. After a moment of thought, he dialed the police.
"Hello, is this Officer Zhang? It's Wú Hào. I need to report an emergency situation. We've received intelligence that someone is planning an assassination operation targeting Jiǎn Lín. We hope the police can provide support," Wú Hào said into the phone.
Officer Zhang on the other end responded sternly, "Mr. Wú, thank you for your trust. We will immediately arrange police forces to strengthen patrols and surveillance around Ms. Jiǎn and relevant locations. However, if you have any more detailed clues, please provide them to us in a timely manner."
"Okay, Officer Zhang, I'll notify you as soon as I have any news," Wú Hào said.
After arranging these matters, Wú Hào went to the entrance of the residence to await the experts sent by Uncle Long. By now, night had fallen. There were no stars in the sky, only a round moon casting a cold light. The wind blew gently, bringing a hint of chill. Wú Hào couldn't help but tighten his clothes.
After an unknown amount of time, the sound of car engines could be heard from a distance. Wú Hào focused his gaze and saw several cars slowly approaching and stopping at the entrance of the residence. The car doors opened, and a group of people dressed in black got out. Leading them was a burly middle-aged man with sharp eyes, exuding an air of competence.
"Hello, are you Brother Wú Hào? I was sent by Uncle Long. My name is Zhào Gāng," the middle-aged man said as he stepped forward and extended his hand.
Wú Hào quickly shook Zhào Gāng's hand. "Brother Zhào, thank you for your hard work. The situation is urgent, let's talk as we walk."
Wú Hào led Zhào Gāng and the others into the residence, explaining the current situation and the counter-plan in detail. After listening, Zhào Gāng said, "Brother Wú, don't worry. Since we're here, we will definitely assist you with all our might. Tell us how to arrange things, and we'll do it."
Wú Hào felt grateful. "Brother Zhào, please have some of your people set up covert sentries around the residence and watch for suspicious individuals. The rest will accompany me to the company to strengthen their defenses there. Jiǎn Lín is currently at the company."
"No problem, we'll follow your lead," Zhào Gāng agreed.
Just as Wú Hào was about to head to the company with Zhào Gāng and the others, his phone suddenly rang. It was Jiǎn Lín calling. Her voice on the phone sounded a little hurried, "Wú Hào, the employees at the company are a bit unsettled. It seems they've heard some rumors. I'm worried it might affect our defense deployment."
"Calm your employees first and tell them everything is under control. I'll be right there with the people Uncle Long sent," Wú Hào said.
Hanging up, Wú Hào said to Zhào Gāng, "Brother Zhào, we need to hurry. It might get chaotic at the company."
The group quickly got into the cars and sped towards Jiǎn Lín's family business. Along the way, Wú Hào looked out the car window at the rapidly passing streetscape, silently praying that all parties would arrive in time to resolve this crisis.
Upon arriving at the company, Wú Hào and Zhào Gāng and his team immediately entered the premises. Jiǎn Lín was in the lobby calming the employees. Seeing Wú Hào and the others enter, a hint of relief flashed in Jiǎn Lín's eyes.
Wú Hào walked up and said loudly to the employees, "Everyone, please don't panic. We have made full preparations. The police and various experts are assisting us, and we will definitely ensure everyone's safety. Now, please return to your posts and do not believe any rumors."
After hearing Wú Hào's words, the employees' emotions gradually stabilized. Wú Hào and Zhào Gāng then began to arrange personnel to set up defenses at all entrances, exits, and important areas of the company.
At this point, with the assassination operation drawing closer, the entire company and Jiǎn Lín's residence were enveloped in a tense atmosphere. Wú Hào and Jiǎn Lín, in the company's office, re-checked the defense plan and the status of support from various parties.
"The police have set up a cordon nearby, and Uncle Long's people are all in position. Now we just wait for the enemy to make their move," Wú Hào said.
Jiǎn Lín frowned slightly, "I hope everything goes smoothly. But I still feel uneasy, I don't know if there's anything we haven't considered."
Wú Hào gently held Jiǎn Lín's hand. "Don't worry, we've done everything we can. I believe we will overcome this difficulty."
However, what they didn't know was that the enemy was also meticulously planning in the shadows, and a fierce confrontation was about to begin. Would all forces arrive in time? Facing the enemy's carefully planned assassination, could Wú Hào and Jiǎn Lín successfully resolve the crisis? Everything was still uncertain, and they could only wait nervously for the upcoming challenge.
