A bizarre assassination plan, the manipulation of suspects, the resurrection of the chairman of the Yinxiang Group—all of this made Luo Zheng anxious. This is a battlefield Luo Zheng is not very familiar with. There are no real knives or guns, no frontal assault, not even a visible opponent, yet there is a clear sensation of their presence nearby. This feeling increased Luo Zheng's pressure, causing him to look toward Hong Meihua, who was familiar with this type of situation.
Hong Meihua was also deep in thought, realizing she had been somewhat careless. Things like killing invisibly on secret fronts are not uncommon, with endless variations, yet she had not taken the opponent seriously. If it hadn't been for Luo Zheng's prior alertness and grabbing the chairman at the key moment, the snake attack could not have been avoided—just under a second late would have been fatal.
