The 3 B's- Beauty, Brains and Bravery

Chapter 336: A woman way too cunning

The 'Bleeding Avenues' was one of the most dangerous, vicious underworld gangs out there. With a history of more than fifty years, this organization was known mostly for human trafficking and forgery. But roughly twenty years ago, the organization had started assassinating and kidnapping, and that was weird. Most importantly, they never asked for ransoms. Instead, they used to record the videos of their targets being tortured to death and send it to their families or their hirers, which was brutal enough. Anyhow, it wasn't the only noteworthy thing about the 'Bleeding Avenues'. The gang was able to keep their anonymity intact, from beginning to the end, whatsoever. They were akin to wind, swift and smooth. 

Then, roughly ten years ago, the organization had disappeared, out of nowhere. All of a sudden, their activities had come to halt back then. During that duration, there were many underworld feuds going on, so almost everyone had concluded that the 'Bleeding Avenues' were unable to survive them.

Naturally, no one could've imagined that they would reappear someday. What more, they intended to target the highest Military Authority of Country X, the moment they returned back. It wasn't trivial. Rong Xinghe had many enemies. Many. Thousands, in fact. But not everyone had access to her exact location and her schedule, the way they did.

"What are we going to do, Military Chief?", Shou Wu asked, as he wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead away.

"Dig more. Get all the information you can about them.", the girl commanded, her tone solemn, "Also, tighten the security around the Superfamily. And, the Xis' too. Specifically, the Xi siblings."

"What about President Xi, Chief? Do we need to activate our agents in Mexico too?", the old man asked.

"That would be appreciated.", the girl nodded, "Keep me posted throughout the investigation. Alright?"

"Understood."

The girl then disconnected the call and stopped the treadmill, grabbed her hand towel and jumped down the machine. She then strode inside the Lu Family Mansion and grabbed a seat on a couch, in the living room. The more she thought about it, the more she felt something amiss. Something told her, this wasn't going to be easy. Her instincts told her that something worse was about to happen. But she couldn't point exactly what.

At this time, a pair of warm hands squeezed the girl's shoulders. Subconsciously, the girl relaxed a little and closed her eyes, resting her head against the back of one of the two hands. She could sense the person standing behind her. He was safe. He was harmless. She knew it.

"What are you doing so early in the morning?", Mo Zixuan asked, his voice more of a whisper.

"Went to the gym. Could kill for a cup of coffee right now.", the girl replied back tiredly.

"I can arrange that.", the man laughed, "Come on,"

"How have you been, Bro Mo?", the girl asked, as she looked at her brother chopping vegetables while she sipped her coffee.

"I have been fine, Kiddo. Just busy with work.", the man answered, "Hey, um I wanted to talk to you about something."

"Sure.", the girl straightened her back when she noticed the man's earnest expression.

"Would it be too crazy if I propose to Cheng Tai now?"

"Wait are we talking about", the girl's eyes widened the moment the man nodded his head at her.

"I want to marry her.", the man smiled and scratched the back of his neck awkwardly.

Next second, the girl jumped off the dining table she was sitting on and hugged the man, as tightly as she could.

"Oh okay. Let's hug it out first.", Mo Zixuan let out a helpless laugh, wrapping his arms around her shoulders.

"I can't believe this. That's a fantastic news!", the girl smiled, "I always thought you were afraid of commitments."

"I was. Actually, I was afraid of having a home and then the possibility of it getting snatched away from me. I never had Mom and Dad, you know? Some insecurities just stay, in your mind.", the man explained.

"I understand."

"But then Tai came. And everything changed. I guess I am not afraid anymore. At least, not that much."

"That's great. My fifth brother is going to get married!", the girl grinned at the man, "Let's talk about your proposal first."

"Ah! The proposal. Let's keep it simple this time, Xinghe. Nothing grand, or huge. I want this to be about 'us'."

"Okay. It's important for you two, to be comfortable. We will just reveal it on social media later. Like bro Su's proposal.", the girl agreed, "Tell Xiao to come here, tonight. And the other five too. Sisters-in-law as well. There is going to be quite a discussion about this, Mr. Mo."

"As the lady's wish."

The Pacific Hotel, Elite Premises, 12:30 p.m. ;

While Rong Xinghe and Rong Xiao were busy planning a proposal for their bro Mo, a certain someone's life had just turned upside down. In the blink of an eye.

It hadn't been long since a young boy had knocked onto her door, handed her a sealed brown envelope and walked away. Maybe an hour or so. She was expecting some information about Rong Xinghe from her agents. Although she found the method of delivery slightly odd, she still opened it. She couldn't believe it when the contents of the envelope were revealed to her eyes. This was horrifying. Frightening. Those pictures had the ability to destroy her career, her future, and her life. in one go. All at once.

Those photos came with a note. A note from HER.

"I am impressed, Ms. Qui. What an sl*t! Sleeping with your directors and producers and then blackmailing them for money, or a role. Well... I am guessing you wouldn't want these pictures to get leaked to the journalists. Now, what if I tell you that Media Magnet Mo Zixuan would love to dedicate a news bulletin to your past? 

"You have seen him, Chin. His sharp tongue. His cruel accusations. His roasts. You wouldn't want him to disclose your true face to the entire country, would you? Screw the public, the entertainment industry will gulp you down whole the moment they get to know about this. 

"So let me tell you what to do next. Reach the address given below by 4:00 p.m. sharp. There will be some people waiting for you there. I promise they will treat you the way you deserve to be treated"

As for what those men intended to do to her, Rong Xinghe didn't mention a word about it. This woman way too cunning!
